Snoring slowly, Arthur looked at Maxwell who was asleep on the round table with a disgusting expression. He might be too tired. He fell asleep in a comfortable environment. He was still wet. He didn’t know if it was drool or rain. , Dripped a piece.

This historic round table has witnessed a lot, bloody and knife marks. This may be the first time it has been soaked by saliva. Arthur couldn’t stand it anymore and signaled someone to take him down and take a good rest.

Old Guy is like a dead person, being lifted up casually, with meaningless dreams from time to time.

“He loves these very much.”

Nicolas looked at Maxwell being carried down, Old Guy hair grey-white, wrinkles on his face were like dead trees, he was almost old enough to be a grandfather for Nicolas, but he faced the wind with the young guys. and rain thunderbolt.

Human beings are easy to get old. This is not something that can be explained by old and strong, but Maxwell loves it, and loves it to this brief moment that he can even get young again.

“Yes, he is a person who has personally experienced the Dunling Project. He thought he could bring innovation, but ended up dismal. He was supposed to be like this in his life, but he suddenly found a turning point in his later years.

Arthur said slowly, remembering the past.

“Maxwell has been retired for a long time. He lives in seclusion in the countryside outside Old Turin, where you can see the clear sky and the air is not fresh. Compared with Old Turin, it is almost paradise. At that time, we discussed and planned to be in Dun On the wreckage of the Ling Project, a new round of electrical experiments was conducted. After several considerations, we found him.

At that time, his life was pretty good. He planted a small vegetable garden. He was drinking and having fun every day. I was envious of him. Then I personally asked him if he was interested in coming back and joining them. In fact, I was not sure about him at the time. Will you come back? After all, retirement is so beautiful, and Maxwell is already so old, he should spend his old age peacefully. “

“But he’s back anyway.”

Nicolas said that Maxwell worked here when he joined the cleansing agency. He also pointed out the new Nicolas as Reverend.

“Yes, in fact, the situation at the time was that I said this to Maxwell, and he did not speak, but remained silent. I thought he refused and left, but when I was on the train, someone knocked on the window. .”

Someone brought hot water, and Arthur drank a little to warm himself.

“It’s Maxwell, this Old Guy was smashing the car window hard, shouting at me through the glass, “You said R&D power, right! Right! Right!”

He looked excited, facing the wind, riding a horse under his hips, chasing the train like a youngster, but unfortunately there was no woman to be married on the train, but a group of soldiers holding weapons. If it were not for me to stop in time, he Was shot by the guards.

It was also that time that I realized that he was not rejecting me, but that his rusty mind had just turned around because of his peaceful life. He was not like an Old Guy at all. He jumped up, got on the train, and stumbled in.

His face was glowing and he opened his hands as if to hug me, but then, before he could say anything, he fell. He was old enough, and the intense exercise just now almost killed him. “

Nicolas has a complicated expression. Maybe he didn’t expect the ending to be so outrageous.

“What do you think? Maxwell came in and gave me a big hug, and then sat down to discuss the specific implementation without panting? How could it be that he is old enough, if it weren’t for me to come to him, he would be like a The silly old man spends his old age with his flowers and grass.”

Arthur grasped the cup tightly with both hands, feeling the warmth in it, his eyes were placed on the file inside the round table, and the sketches outlined one deadly weapon after another.

“He was so young just now, but now he has turned back to that old man, suffering from a damn chronic disease, falling to the ground and panting in pain…

Nicolas, I was thinking about what was supporting him at the time, which made him, the Old Guy, young in an instant, and let him catch up with him dash on bravely with no thought of personal safety… At that time he was still wearing craftsman clothes, With a hammer and scissors in his pocket, he might have caught up without even locking the door.

I thought about it for a long time, and found that there are many names for this thing, such as obsessions, ideals, beliefs, etc., too many. They support us, generation after generation. “

Arthur turned his head and looked towards Nicolas, Nicolas’s pupils under the dark circles were extremely energetic.

“Maxwell, I, Merlin, in fact, we are all supported by this thing. It is only the body that gets old, not the will. It is just sadly trapped in the aging flesh and blood, just like a cage.”

“You are talking like you are about to die next, and you are entrusted with heavy tasks before you die.” Nicolas said.

“It’s not dying, but it’s really a commission. You are the new generation of perpetual motion pump researcher, Merlin, the successor of Maxwell. In a few years or several decades, this is the world of you youngsters.” Arthur said. .

“This is a very difficult road. It may be the ultimate fate of every trailblazer.” Arthur sighed, taking a sip of the warm water.

“Actually, there are many factors for the failure of the Dunling Project, not only technical problems, but also interference from the outside world. At that time, the steam engine had just appeared, but only for several decades. The wealthy merchants and nobles poured all their financial resources into this steam technology. Thanks to their enthusiasm, Irvine’s strength has been triumphant progress all the way.

But such a leap forward quickly got backlash. “

“They reject new things, don’t they?” Although just a researcher, Nicolas has never lacked his acumen in these areas.

“Yes, Irvine is fully mechanized. Steam boilers are burning in every city and spread to other countries. But even now, the entire Western world has not been fully mechanized. Those Vikings are still sailing on sails.”

Arthur explained this.

“The development of new energy at that time was undoubtedly to reform the existing foundation, or even to subvert, and they invested that many money, some people were willing to accept and reform together, some people refused, think this thing is untrustworthy, in fact it is also In this way, an idea that only exists in the mind, compared with the machinery that is already in operation, everyone will choose the safer ones.”

“It’s a difficult road,” Arthur said with a smile, “but I should be retired by then, it’s not my fault.”

Nicolas doesn’t have any joking thoughts. There are some things he has always wanted to ask, so it’s better to tell them today.

“Actually… I really want to know who proposed the Dunling Project.”

This is a somewhat grand and romantic plan. While steam technology is advancing violently, some people resolutely reversed it, believing that this is the wrong path, and devoted themselves to the journey of opening up new paths.

Nicolas wanted to know who made such a decision. His vision was so long-term that even though the Dunling Plan failed, it still affects today several decades later.

Arthur thought about it carefully, still remembering that when the Dunling Project started, he hadn’t arrived at his current position, trying to remember that name, he said afterwards.

“Several years ago, the technical director of perpetual motion pump, Michael Faraday.”

Arthur suddenly thought of the weird Stuart’s house, looked at Nicolas again, and said a little bit amused.

“This ghost is like inheritance. He failed at the time and Maxwell replaced him. Now this task is in your hands.”

Nicolas didn’t speak, but slowly raised his head. Above it was a glass dome. Countless rain washed the mirror surface, and lightning flashed by, and it was brilliant.

……

Lorenzo got up from the bed with difficulty. This damn rainy season made Old Turin’s little light become even more dimmed. It was already morning by the time, but it was dim like sunset, and the street lights on the street had not been extinguished. , Like falling stars.

I comforted Higgs last night. Lorenzo personally cooked for this, simply made something to eat and shared with Higgs. However, she almost woke up Mrs. Van Lude during the period. If she saw two people doing this without sleeping in the middle of the night, she would definitely do it. Yelled.

When I walked to the table, my mind was heavy, as if I hadn’t woken up.

Higgs told him a lot, and he understood his roommate more deeply. From some perspectives, Lorenzo even felt that Higgs was worse than himself.

The beautiful past Lorenzo can’t go back, but at least Florence is still there, Saint Naluo cathedral is still there, and Temple of Stasis is also there. Although there is currently a base camp for potential enemies, at least they still exist, if someday Lorenzo’s When the feeling of longing was really overwhelming, he still had the opportunity to go back and take a look. Although things have remained the same, but people have changed, at least there are still those afterimages of Xu.

But Higgs is different. He can’t go back anymore. He can’t even remember the appearance of his hometown, so he can only wander in the misty Old Turin inside.

Lorenzo was thinking about taking out a cigarette from the tin box. He was thinking about whether to continue exploring the Palace of Memory.

There was no light in the room, it looked gray-blue, and the rain stopped, but from time to time there would be slender raindrops. The sky was still gloomy, and the gray black clouds seemed to be 10000 1000 crows gathered together. Shrouded and hovering, it seems to be accumulating the next round of heavy rain.

The time for thinking not at all lasted too long, Lorenzo stuffed the cigarette inside the tin box and put it in his arms.

He didn’t know what would happen after he entered the Palace of Memory. At that time, he scared Hercule very much, but fortunately, Hercule was seen in the world, and he did not explode himself with a single shot.

But now that he is on 121A Cork Street, Lorenzo doesn’t think Mrs. Van Lude and Higgs’s psychological endurance can be so good, at least he has to find a secret and safe place to use.

So where to go? Looking for Hercule? Or you can find a sewer at random to go in, but with the current rainfall in Old Turin, it is estimated that it has become a torrent.

After getting dressed and hesitating for a while, Lorenzo took a few more weapons, with a pocket knife and short-handled shotgun around his waist, holding a stick with a hidden sword in his hand, and took a gray felt hat and put it on his head. on.

Going out of the room and going downstairs lightly, Lorenzo turns into the kitchen without waking anyone up, and fills his stomach with whatever he wants to eat.

Although it is not clear where to go next, Lorenzo thinks it is better to leave home first, but how to leave becomes a problem.

Burlau also warned himself before that the cleansing agency is monitoring himself, and the new order must not sit still, maybe there is a Demon Hunter waiting for him in a corner of the street.

Lorenzo will be followed and monitored once he leaves. He used to get away very well, but because of the continuous heavy rain, the pedestrians on the streets of Old Turin are reduced a lot, and Lorenzo will become very eye-catching on the streets.

He stood at the door, picked up an umbrella in his hand, hesitated, but then there was the sound of horseshoes, splashing splashes on the stagnant water.

Lorenzo woke up very early. At this time, the city just woke up. He had a strange feeling. He seemed to be looking for him. Then the black shadow stopped in front of 121A Cork Street. Lorenzo’s face was a little weird. .

The man hurriedly got off the carriage. Although he had some impressions of this place, he was a little disturbed to disturb him so early, not to mention that it was the mental illness Lorenzo that disturbed him.

The girl followed behind him, she also seemed a little awake, walking swayingly, still holding black letters in her hands.

Oscar Wilde hesitated. He extended the hand to knock on the door, but he took it back after thinking about it. He turned his head and looked at Seleu next to him.

“He doesn’t feel like getting up, right?”

Oscar obviously knows many things, including knowing exactly what monster Lorenzo is. Before dawn, he kicked open Stuart’s door. He knew that there were at least a group of normal people living inside, and it was not normal behind this door. people.

Seleu looked at him sighed, and didn’t know if Oscar was pretending to be or he really was such a person. When facing business matters, his whole person was serious, and his strategy was as deep as the sea. When Seleu dealt with him , Had to bring up all the vigilance, but once he left these, he became very unreliable and judged two people at random.

She pushed Oscar directly away and strode up on her own, as if she was about to kick the door open.

But just when Seleu was about to unscrew the doorknob, the door opened by itself. She didn’t react for a while and was knocked open by the door, but when she was about to fall, Lorenzo held him in one hand, and then proficiently He took the shotgun out of his arms and put it on Oscar’s head with ecstasy.

“So, coming to see me so early, surely not inviting me to eat breakfast, right?”

Lorenzo looked at the two sneaky people and asked with a look of confusion, but all of this did not stand up for too long. Considering the look in the everywhere, Lorenzo stepped aside and signaled the two to enter the house.
