Chapter 132: An Unusual Private Party(1/2)
"Kings Agent! Chief Hulkkin is really willing to give up! If he says he wants to drive you out, he will drive you out. He doesn't take into account your contribution to the ice cave at all?"
When Luke was feeling emotional, he searched for information related to Hulkkin from the mobile phone database to see if he could analyze his purpose from his character.
Dalikova looked as if she never imagined that she would be abandoned like this.
"Hulkkin believes that with your talent and editor-in-chief Molson's favor, if you are interested in politics, you will definitely become a powerful figure in the Art County League.
He doesn't want to offend you by investigating you, especially since I have deceived your feelings. You men are very sensitive to things between men and women, which is worse than cheating for money.
For Hulkkin, I am a pretty good tool, but if the tool may hurt him, he will throw it away without hesitation.
It’s just that I didn’t expect that he would do it so brilliantly!”
"It's quite heartless!" Luke agreed casually, while browsing Hulkkin's information.
This ice cave director really likes steam technology. He has signed up for the steam engineer exam many times, but has never passed.
It seems that it is just a hobby and he has no talent in this area.
However, a player who did the Helkkin mission mentioned that he tried his best to help Helkkin pass the steam engineer exam. After Helkkin obtained the steam engineer qualification certificate, he first joined the Steam Engineers Association, and then
After searching for connections everywhere, he successfully entered politics and reached the high position of Minister of State.
The player's description of Hulkkin was: He follows the trend, flatters the powerful, and will do anything to get a higher position. Moreover, Ice Cave's resume gave him a lot of dirty information about political figures. When he got rid of his identity as an agent of Ice Cave
, these black materials became his weapons.
What a talent!
It seems that there was no conspiracy behind Hulkkin's expulsion of Dalikova, but he was just afraid of delaying his future.
Luke felt that he even had another thought. If he was interested in Darikova, he would definitely find her. At this time, Darikova had nothing to do with the ice cave and was living in a miserable life. She was an innocent old man.
The beauty was thus given to future national dignitaries and technical authorities.
No matter how you calculate it, it's a profit.
Luke suddenly felt that Hulkkin should not take the exam of steam engineer, but should take the exam of actuary.
After Darikova complained, she finally let out the suffocation she had been feeling these days. She asked Luke: "Okay...I've finished my story. I also paid a heavy price for deceiving you. Are you ready?"
What are you going to do with me?"
Luke said: "You are doing your job, why should I deal with you? And I am only an employee of Harut Heavy Industries, not a government official, and I am not qualified to deal with you.
If you want to go back to the ice cave and continue to be your agent, I can talk to Hulkkin."
"No, I definitely won't go back, and he won't let me go back. I'm going to open a private detective agency, beat people, collect debts, spy on intelligence... whatever the job is.
You are my first client, and this time I will act as your female companion, and you will have to pay me a salary."
"How much?" Luke asked.
Darikova thought about it: "1,000 yats."
"no problem."
Dalikova didn't expect Luke to agree so simply, so she immediately added a condition: "I charge hourly wages."
"Okay, 1,000 yats for one hour." Luke took out a stack of banknotes from his inner pocket, counted out 4,000 yats and handed it to Darikova: "I'll pay for four hours first. If the party lasts for four
At the end of the hour, the money will be yours; if it exceeds, we will settle the account separately."
The temporary business she thought of was opened, and with a minimum of 4,000 yats, Dalikova felt that her life was about to bottom out. She happily took the money and stuffed it into her bag without ordering anything.
"Thank you, boss! I will give you another bodyguard service, free of charge!"
…
Editor-in-Chief Molson lives in a large hot spring manor outside the Winter Capital City. From the outside, the manor looks like an artistic ice and snow castle.
The car drove into the manor and parked in front of the main building. Luke and Darikova got out of the car hand in hand. After receiving the news, Vartarsky's deputy editor immediately welcomed them out.
"Luke, you're finally here. Editor-in-chief Molson has asked about it many times. There are important guests coming today. It would be very rude if you were later." Vartarski saw the bright and charming Da.
Rykova gave a very gentlemanly salute: "Beautiful lady, welcome to the hot spring manor."
Dalikova held Luke's arm, stretched out her other hand for Vartaski to complete the hand kiss, and then said in a standard upper-class social tone: "I'm so sorry, Deputy Editor Vartaski, please don't
Blame Luke, blame me... When I knew I was going to such an important party, I felt very nervous. In order to dress appropriately, I spent two hours on makeup and another hour picking out clothes.
Fashion changes so fast nowadays, I need to update my wardrobe.
I forgot to introduce myself...my name is Nayaschen Darikova, from Polar Daylight City, just call me Darikova."
Vartasky judged that Darikova must be from a famous family, and thought that juniors like Luke could... It seems that they are busy with work every day, but he did not expect to find such a well-educated, temperamental, and well-born woman quietly.
companion.
"Hello, Ms. Dalikova, only the Polar Daylight City has a beauty with ice-clear skin like you. Come in quickly, it's too cold outside..."
Vartarsky kindly pulled Luke toward the house and chatted with him about editor Molson's recent physical condition.
The meeting place is in the library of the manor.
The library is circular in design, and a circle of bookshelves with a height of five meters is filled with various books. In the middle of the library, leisure-style chairs surround the city in a circle, and invited steam engineers sit around
together.
At this time, a steam engineer was talking about his research.
Vartarsky, who brought Luke in, made a low-pitched gesture, then slowly led the two of them to a seat and sat down. He himself sat down on the chair on the other side of Luke.
Luke first scanned the party venue. There were twenty-four steam engineers who came, and everyone was listening attentively to the narrator's narration. Then Luke saw Editor Molson looking at him, and he immediately asked Molson.
Song nodded and saluted, and Molson also smiled and nodded.
After about half an hour, the steam engineer finished his speech, and then the discussion began.
As the host of the party, Editor-in-Chief Molson temporarily interrupted the discussion and pointed to Luke to introduce it to the steam engineers present.
"This is Luke, the young steam engineer who proposed the two-phase steam engine of water molecules. I invited him here because I wanted all the masters who have made unique achievements in their respective fields to provide him with some guidance.
He is young, talented and very hard-working, and will surely open up his own chapter in the field of steam technology."
Luke stood up and saluted the steam masters.
The steam engineers here all know that Editor-in-Chief Molson admires Luke, and they also know that Luke is indeed very talented, but they did not expect that Editor-in-Chief Molson would give him such a high evaluation this time.
Based on Molson's attitude, the steam engineers did not dare to show any slight to Luke and stood up together to return the favor.
Dalikova, who was sitting next to Luke, tried her best to keep her breathing even, and smiled naturally, with a surge in her heart.
Although she doesn't understand steam technology, she knows these steam engineers here, and any one of them is someone that the ice cave agents must protect regardless of sacrifice.
Now that these leading steam engineers of the Yate County League are gathered here, it can be said that they have concentrated the foundation of the entire country. And Luke is actually qualified to be on an equal footing with them... Is the two-phase water molecule steam engine so powerful?
Are the fees cheaper?
At this time, Molson said to Luke: "What do you think of the principle of the convective hood air wall just described by Engineer Davlion?"
In the past three days, Qingkong has done a lot of homework for this party. Luke thought about it for a while, and after receiving the answer, he replied: "I have read Master Davlion's research paper on the convective hood air wall. The convective hood air wall is the earliest
Master Dasqi proposed that Master Dasqi is also the mentor of Master Davlion.
The difficulty of the convection hood air wall is the control of the pressure difference and impact amount of the two opposing air flows. These are variables that constantly change with the environment. Subtle differences can cause unstable steam transportation. As a new technology of steam transmission, it is now
Or can it only be implemented in a laboratory environment.
It is the right direction for Master Davlion to start with materials and create steam pipes with constant properties that do not change with the environment to meet the harsh environmental requirements of the convective hood air wall.
I feel that magic and alchemy, which have their own variables, are difficult to create steam pipes with constant properties, while occult is a constant mystery that cannot be understood. Using occult may be able to create the necessary steam pipes.
I read in "Manuscripts of Nylonian Secrets and Ancient Witchcraft" that there was a secret technique in ancient times to make water pipelines that would not expand or contract with temperature differences, and could also repair themselves..."
Luke's words brought new ideas to Engineer Davlion, who had been troubled by materials. He asked urgently: "A water pipeline without thermal expansion and contraction! Maybe the secret technique can really solve the problem that my mentor and I have not been able to solve."
Question, where did you read the "Manuscript of Nylonian Secrets and Ancient Witchcraft"."
Luke thought for a while: "This is a very ordinary secret book, which records many strange secrets. However, many of the secrets in it are incomplete, and I am not sure whether this secret is true.
"
Davlion couldn't help but look worried about gains and losses.
Editor-in-chief Molson laughed easily: "Engineer Luke really reads all kinds of books. If you hadn't reminded me, we wouldn't have thought of a solution in the occult. After all, this is a very unpopular academic field, and it's secretive."
Magicians are all mysterious."
Luke said: "The occult can be said to be the oldest academic. It originated from ancient sacrifices. For a long time, it was not recognized by mainstream academic circles. I think it has value since it exists. If the occult can be
Integrated into the current academic system, perhaps it can show another side that we have not discovered yet.
Therefore, when I was studying, I dabbled in some occult arts."
After hearing this, Molson couldn't help but sigh to other steam engineers: "Did you see it? These are young people! The thinking of us older generation steam engineers has been somewhat solidified, and we rely more on experience when doing research. We lack the young people who are not bound by conventions.
Thought.
Engineer Davlion, I think you need to invite the Occult Department of Dongdu Magic Steam Academy to assist in completing your research. During this time, Professor Qingkong, the head of the Occult Department of Oulu Academy, is being invited to visit Dongdu Magic Steam Academy.
occult exchanges within.
My students told me that Professor Qingkong is a true master of occult arts. Although Oulu College has lagged behind in occult research for a hundred years because of the Abyss Master, with Professor Qingkong, they will soon return to the top of the world in the field of occult arts.
To be continued...
