Words:1981Update:22/06/27 07:17:49
Yesterday.
The Knight Election had just ended.
Han Dong immediately returned to the Mystery Branch to meet with Mr. Black And White.
The conversation mainly talked about the special arrangements in the Knight Election … Of course, it also mentioned Commander Hugo's [Means].
Mr. Black And White only said one sentence: "The people that Hugo wants will basically be roped in by him through various means."
Soon.
The topic was shifted to Han Dong's personal problems.
"This year's Knight Election made you a public figure known by the whole city … At least two commanders have a special interest in you.
One is the Duchess.
The other is the Investor.
The former is not too big of a problem. If they find you, they can deal with it on their own.
As for the latter, very few people in the Holy City directly reject their 'Investor.'
But you first ruined the Investor's plan for the cyborgs and rejected his [Grand Invitation] in front of everyone.
Although you took the initiative to 'cooperate' in the end and slightly saved the situation, the Investor will inevitably find you in private … His attitude will be very tough.
It is very troublesome to offend the Investor.
Especially in the Steam Knights, there is a person who is no weaker than me in terms of strategy … Once they find you, you will need to carefully consider every decision.
Try to stick to the Investor's thoughts as much as possible, even if it means exposing some of your secrets.
The Investor is a businessman. As long as it is beneficial to him, he will help you … You should know what I mean. "
"Yes."
…
The camera cut back.
"Yes … My laboratory is built outside the city.
Just like the information disclosed in the Knight Election.
I have maintained contact with the [Neutral] Crowmen Tribe. I can use the Crowmen Tribe as' labor 'to build an unrestricted laboratory outside the city.
Many biological experiments can be carried out directly, and there are more 'biological materials' outside the city than in the Holy City. "
Newton seemed to be satisfied with Han Dong's answer.
"Well …
The Investor admires your research on 'biological technology'. This is also a relatively weak subject in the Holy City … Maybe with the help of your research, we can further improve the 'prosthesis.'
I wonder if I can go with you to the laboratory outside the city?
If I 'approve' it, we can establish a preliminary cooperation plan.
The financial power of our patron can save you a lot of trouble. We can easily get some of the materials that are difficult to get. "
"Sure."
With Mr. Black And White's warning, Han Dong agreed without hesitation.
Furthermore.
During the conversation, Han Dong could feel an intuitive 'power' from Mr. Newton.
If one were to say that this person and Black White belonged to the [Wise Men] of the Holy City.
Mr. Black And White was more of a 'soft' wise man, while Mr. Newton was more of a 'hard' wise man.
Newton tapped his watch and said, "Let's use my carriage. It can save us some time … My time is precious."
"Alright."
For a moment.
The steam-powered carriage reached a terrifying speed of more than 100 km/h and rushed out of the city.
Inside the carriage, Mia didn't say a word because of the witch's warning … But because the world between the two of them had been destroyed, Mia lowered her head and gritted her teeth the whole time.
"Don't worry, I won't take too much time … My time is quite precious."
These words shocked Mia and she immediately lost all of her anger.
The carriage sped through the forest.
There was no need for Han Dong to give directions. It went straight to the Stuart Manor area.
It seemed that Newton already knew where Han Dong's laboratory was.
Caw caw …
Because they smelled Han Dong's scent in the carriage, the crows immediately moved aside.
Several crowmen elders also came to greet them.
However, as soon as Newton stepped off the carriage, a wave of energy spread out. The crowmen elders were so scared that their feathers stood at a 45 ° angle.
However.
Newton's vision didn't stop at the manor or the crowmen at all.
After getting off the carriage, he only stared at the hands on his watch.
"Let's go directly to the laboratory. My time is quite precious."
"Alright."
Han Dong signaled the crowmen with his eyes to look after the carriage, then headed to the underground laboratory through the nearest secret passage.
He stared at the "living cultivation cabins" that had been optimized by Han Dong, and the neatly arranged cables, transport tubes, pressure gauges, and some "living eyes" that were used for monitoring, which were directly connected to Dr. Swollen.
Newton nodded slightly, expressing his approval of the laboratory's design, but it wasn't enough.
"There's nothing to see in the outer laboratory. Take me directly to the core laboratory … My time is quite precious."
When he led Mr. Newton to the core laboratory.
Because of the strong aura, Dr. Swollen who was in the middle of a 'brain implant experiment' was shocked.
Because he had officially become a Hybrid Demon, Dr. Swollen's brain had shrunk to the size of a normal person. Because the brain needed a large amount of oxygen to obtain energy … Dr. Swollen also removed his skull and deliberately exposed his brain to the air to activate the mitochondria in his brain cells to efficiently convert oxygen.
This allowed the doctor to maintain his efficient working mode at all times.
At the same time, the gear embedded in the doctor's brain (the product of the old king – M.O.) could also be clearly seen.
This kind of brain structure immediately attracted Newton's attention.
Without any trace of hostility toward the Hybrid Demons outside the city, Mr. Newton bowed politely to the doctor.
"Hybrid Hybrid Demon … Your brain is very interesting. Can you make a slice for me? If it's done well, I can add a little 'Magic Gear'. "
They had just greeted each other, and now he wanted to ask for a slice of his brain. No one would feel good about this.
"This …" Dr. Swollen touched his head and was a little reluctant.
"Here."
Following Han Dong's words, the doctor immediately cut off a small piece of his head. There were two miniature gears embedded in it that were rotating.
"A very good biological laboratory."
Mr. Newton, who took the slice, gave a high evaluation of the laboratory.
At the same time, he placed a prepared contract "Temporary Experimental Cooperation Agreement (Basic)" on the table.
"This is the preliminary cooperation agreement set by the investor … Once it's signed, the investor will strictly treat your laboratory outside the city with confidentiality.
Even if someone in the Holy City wants to investigate, they absolutely won't be able to find any clues.
If the cooperation goal is reached within the limited time, we can further deepen our cooperation. "
Just as Han Dong was about to examine the agreement.
Caw! Caw!
A crow arrived here along the secret passage.
"Sir … Sir!
It seems that because of the smell you left in the forest, something came to find you.
The Thousand Feet tribe, which had no signs of activity for half a year, created a large army through their super reproductive ability.
There are more than ten Hybrid Demons. They have gathered all their forces and are gradually surrounding the manor. "
"How many Thousand Feet are there in total?"
"I'm afraid there can be up to 100,000 …"
At this moment.
Mr. Newton's finger fell on a clause in the agreement – "The Steam Knights will provide a certain amount of 'protection' for the laboratory outside the city."
"Since I'm here, if you sign the agreement now, I can help you repel the insects in the Gane Forest."
