Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Wuzhan Away at the Beginning Chapter 015

casually picked up a compass and played with it, “An enamel plate drawn from Demacia, a flywheel movement… This is the pinnacle of their craftsmen’s craftsmanship. I spent a lot of effort to collect it.”

Singed didn’t speak, just quietly watched Silco’s soliloquy.

“And this pocket watch is the proud work of those noble families in the upper city. It is said that the case is made of the shells of the Shell People—although it is only the size of a fingernail.”

Silco gently wiped the dust off the pocket watch, and the mechanical structure inside could be easily observed through the crystal case. This is a work from thirty or forty years ago, but because it is well maintained, the silver-white movement still maintains its original appearance, making a “click, click” sound in the air when it is running.

“ Silco Sir…” Singed hesitated.

“So, you plan to use these broken copper and rotten iron from decades ago to imitate the puppet named Herta in the light curtain?” Silco threw the pocket watch in his hand into the pile of metal scrap and sighed: “You should also know that the technology shown in that light curtain is difficult for us to achieve in our lifetime.”

“Everything you do is just a waste of effort.” Silco said silently in his heart—but he didn’t want to be too blunt, so as not to hurt the professor’s heart.

At first, he also craved the technology in the light curtain, especially after seeing Silver Wolf’s magical skill that could modify reality, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of covetousness, but after realizing the gap between the light curtain and the undercity, he decisively decided to give up.

In his opinion, this is no different from a moth flying into a flame—it is hardly a wise move to try to narrow the technological gap like a chasm with the limited time in his life.

“I understand what you mean.” Singed nodded, but then said: “But if I don’t even have this pursuit, I wouldn’t have today’s achievements.”

“Before cooperating with you, I was also a scientist.”

Silco didn’t continue to persuade him. After working with Singed for many years, he knew the professor’s temper very well.

He slowly got up, gently brushed off the alchemical dust on his body, and before leaving the laboratory, he looked back at Singed and whispered: “I’m sorry, Professor, I may not support your hobby for too long. Of course, if you are willing to use these machines to study new weapons, that’s another matter.”

After speaking, the strong men around Silco slammed the laboratory door shut.

The noisy laboratory returned to silence again. The ticking of the red copper clock hanging on the wall was accompanied by the gradually receding footsteps. Apart from that, there was no other sound.

After Silco and his party walked away, Singed came to the secret door of the laboratory alone. After he raised his hand to open it, there was a narrow small room hidden inside.

Unlike the mess in the laboratory, the small room was not only cleaned up, but also decorated very warmly, like a girl’s boudoir. An old teddy bear was placed in the center of the boudoir, next to a huge mechanical cabin, as if waiting for something.

Singed slowly walked to the mechanical cabin, carefully moved his gaze from the buttons on the cabin to the transparent hatch, and when he saw the girl inside, there was a slight tremor in his turbid eyes.

—What is different from ordinary people is that the girl’s calm face reflects the luster of metal.

“Before becoming a scientist, I was also a father.”

Silco only guessed part of his thoughts correctly.

From the beginning to the end, he never thought of perfectly replicating a puppet as precise as “ Herta”. Such a perfect and fresh puppet could not be manufactured in Zaun… or even Piltover. Even if he was quite confident in his alchemy research, he did not lose his rationality and self-knowledge as a scientist.

It was only after glimpsing Herta’s almost perfect appearance that he gained a lot of inspiration for a while.

He has not yet thought about applying puppet technology to large-scale war killings.

But if it can be applied to Orianna, so that his daughter can have a lively and fresh posture like Herta, and be able to open her eyes and look at him…

He is willing to give everything for this.

[In the light curtain, Himeko looked at Stelle with a smile, and invited: “ Stelle… you know you have another option, a Astral Express is parked on the platform. If you are willing, you can come with us.”]

[“The Astral Express has dealt with Stellaron a lot. What you are worried about is also the answer we are looking for, and besides…” Himeko paused and glanced at Herta, who was akimbo beside her, “We can come back anytime and let Herta do research, she is full of interest now.”]

[ Herta also quite agreed with Himeko’s suggestion, who told her to be a person who is quick to come and go with interest.]

[Just as Stelle was about to say something, Himeko said that she was not in a hurry for her answer, but was waiting for her on the platform, giving Stelle time to see the people she wanted to see.]

[But just as Himeko finished speaking, Stelle’s phone suddenly vibrated, and then she received a text message from Herta.]

[ Herta: “Hey, Stelle, I’m Herta, I have good things to find you. Come to my office quickly! Waiting for you!”]

[“?”]

[ Stelle glanced at Herta, who was right in front of her, with a question mark on her face, and then silently replied with a question mark. But the puppet who was chattering in front of her suddenly became quiet and did not move.]

[ Stelle: “You are right next to me, why don’t you just say it directly?”]

[ Herta: [Automatic reply], Hello, I am not here now, and I will not contact you later.]

[ Stelle: “Uh… what’s the situation?”]

[“It seems you have received a text message from Herta, right?” Himeko smiled faintly and looked down at the Herta puppet next to her, “As you can see, Herta is communicating with you remotely through puppets, but Herta’s puppets are not this one. She has placed many puppets in the space station. She needs to deal with events in which place, and log in to the nearest puppet for remote control, which is very convenient.”]

[“If I remember correctly…” Himeko pondered slightly, “She has more than 200 puppets in the space station, scattered all over the place, you can meet them wherever you go.”]

“More than 200!” Heiterke opened his mouth in surprise, “If there are more, they should be able to organize an army composed of puppets to crusade against the Demon King’s army, right?”

Frieren carefully looked at the Herta puppet and shook her head: “How can these puppets have any martial power? And I don’t know what material they are made of. If they are easily damaged, Ms. Herta should also feel distressed, right?”

As she was talking, Frieren found Heiterke supporting his chin with one hand, staring at the Herta puppet without moving.

“ Heiterke-sama? What are you thinking about?”

“Ah, I’m thinking…” Heiterke’s face was showing some longing, “It would be great if this Ms. Herta could give me a puppet.”

Before he finished speaking, Frieren, who was sitting next to Frieren, suddenly felt the temperature in the room drop sharply, which made her secretly exclaim that something was wrong.

Heiterke was like a normal person, and did not notice the disgust in Frieren’s eyes at all.

The evening breeze from outside the window lifted her long hair, and also made this purple little mushroom feel sour in her heart, and she didn’t want to say a word.

“ Frieren?” The careless Heiterke finally realized that something was wrong.

It’s a pity it was too late.

Frieren turned her body and turned her head to the side, puffing her cheeks angrily.

“…Pervert.”
