Magus Tech (Technological Wizard)

Sherlock looked down at what Richard handed him.

I saw that the thing was the size of an egg, with a metal shell and an extremely smooth surface, like an elegant work of art. There is a slit in the surface that appears to be openable.

With a "click", Sherlock opened the thing, and saw a glass dial inside, and three pointers of different lengths were moving under the skin.

Among them, the shortest pointer moves the slowest and is almost invisible.

The pointer is neither short nor long, and it can be seen that it is moving slowly.

The longest slender hands move in the blink of an eye.

"Click click..."

The pointer keeps making crisp and pleasant sounds.

What Richard gave Sherlock was a pocket watch. In the Middle Ages when the precise time has not been fully promoted, it is considered a new item, and Li Cha feels that Sherlock is definitely interested in collecting it.

However, Sherlock's reaction was somewhat different from what Richard had imagined.

Sherlock stared at the dial of the pocket watch for a few moments, and said: "My dear friend Richard, are you going to give this thing to me, and then go to my warehouse to find something? Tsk, this is in line with Your temperament, and your thing is obviously worth more than what you need. But..."

At the end, Sherlock hesitated slightly.

"But what? Is there a problem? You don't like it?" Li Cha asked.

"No no." Sherlock shook his head, "It's not that I don't like it, it's just... I already have a similar collection, so I don't need this one from you. Of course, that Ballas silver, if you find it, you You can still take it away, we are friends after all."

"Wait!" Li Cha raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Sherlock and asked, "You said...you already have a similar collection?"

"Yes." Sherlock nodded.

Li Cha was silent: "..." The silence this time was not speechless, but thinking about something quickly.

The pocket watch is not a simple creation, and its technological content is not low. On the earth, it was developed in the great voyage stage after the Middle Ages, because in the boundless ocean, people need to use a more accurate clock to determine their specific position, so as to adjust the route in time and prevent getting lost.

In the current wizarding world similar to the Middle Ages, although it cannot be said that similar things do not exist, as far as he knows, they are not available on the market. So where did Sherlock get similar collections?

Turning his head to look at Sherlock, Li Cha said, "Can I have a look at your collection?"

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you want to take it away, my dear friend." Sherlock said generously, turned his head and shouted into the small door on the side, "Lucia!"

Lucia, who was dressed as a maid, quickly walked out of the small door. The blush on her face hadn't completely faded yet, she looked at Sherlock shyly and asked, "Xia...Mr. Sherlock, what can I do?"

"Well, Mr. Li Cha is more interested in one of my collections, that is, the round box that makes a 'click' sound in my bedroom. Do you have an impression? Bring her here, okay? ?” Sherlock looked at Lucia and smiled.

Lucia frowned, as if remembering, then nodded: "Okay." She quickly ran into the small door.

After a while, Lucia ran out, holding a palm-sized object, and sent it to Sherlock.

Sherlock pointed at Li Cha, and Lucia immediately handed the things to Li Cha.

Li Cha took it and observed carefully.

I just saw Sherlock's collection. The shell is silvery-white with a metallic luster. It is very beautiful. There is a dial and hands in the middle, which is quite artistic, but it is somewhat different from the pocket watch in his hand. of.

A pocket watch is a pocket watch, and this one in my hand is... a small clock—two laps larger than a pocket watch,

The three hands of hour, minute and second are simplified into two hands of hour and minute. The accuracy is a bit poor. The error of a minute is only about one second, and it may be more than ten minutes in a day.

But it is undeniable that the pocket watch and the thing in your hand can indeed be regarded as the same type-the technology inside may be a lot worse, lacking parts such as escape wheels and limit pins, resulting in insufficient precision, but the technology is Of the same generation - like a flintlock and an automatic rifle are very different, but both are thermal weapons.

Li Cha suddenly became curious about the maker of this small clock, and wanted to get in touch with him, to see who he was, and how he made this kind of thing that transcended the times.

He was able to create it by relying on the crystallization of wisdom accumulated by more than 100 billion people who once existed on the earth. What did the other party rely on?

However, he quickly suppressed this thought. After all, his main purpose of coming today was to obtain metal palladium to complete the ongoing research. It is better to deal with such "extra-complicated" matters after completing the research.

Be careful, Li Cha handed the collection to the girl Lucia, then took out the colorful painting from the auction from his arms, and handed it to Sherlock: "Your collection is indeed similar to what I gave you, Since you don’t need two similar collections, then you can accept this thing—a painting made of the king’s heart, after all, I don’t like to take things for nothing.”

"Drawing?" Sherlock's eyes flickered, and while returning the pocket watch to Li Cha, he took the roll of paper in Li Cha's hand, opened it and glanced at it, "Is it a picture of hell? This is more suitable for me. Taste, you can hang it in the study. But what do you mean by painting it with the heart of the king?"

"It means that its dye is quite special..." Li Cha simply repeated what the host said at the auction, "Beyond the east coast, there is an island of Lisburn, and there is a kingdom of Puy Egypt on the island... "

After listening to Li Cha's narration, Sherlock's expression became more exciting. He looked at the words in his hand again, his eyes glowed strangely, and he sighed with a sigh: "It's amazing, it's a painting made with a corpse! By the way, you should have written it just now. This thing was taken out, this is a truly meaningful collection! I collected it, and I decided to put it in the deepest part of the warehouse!"

"you sure?"

"Of course!" Sherlock said loudly, not at all perfunctory, "I have collected so many things, but I have never collected such a special existence.

For me, this is not a simple painting, but a great art, art!

Use the king's heart to draw a map of hell, tsk tsk, I seem to really hear the wailing of souls in hell. Death is equal, kings all end up like this, it is the best explanation for hell.

Wow, I can't wait, I'm going to the warehouse and put it away before I accidentally break it. "

The more he talked, the more excited he became, the next moment Sherlock stepped out of the door, and Li Cha had no choice but to follow.
