On a foggy morning, Klein sat at his dining table and broke the specially bought Yàn wheat bread into milk to improve his way of eating.
Although his body has long changed, his pursuit and persistence for food is engraved in his soul. He is completely unable to adapt to the monotonous and repetitive breakfast style of the Kingdom of Roone. He can only try as much as possible, not sticking to toast, bread, bacon, sausage, butter and cream, and strives to expand the boundaries and enrich the way to eat. For example, his recipes have added new varieties of pork pies, feneport noodles, grilled corn pancakes and other popular varieties in the south.
The caviar from the Foxac Empire is also good, but it is too expensive and is only suitable for formal dining... Klein used a spoon to scoop up small pieces of soft Yàn wheat bread and stuffed it into his mouth. After just a little chewing, he felt the flowing milk full of wheat, and the bread became sweeter and sweeter.
After breakfast, Klein put down his fork spoon, and did not rush to clean up. He picked up the newspapers he had just delivered and read them leisurely.
Let’s do a divination later. If nothing is done, visit Mr. Rapard on Sachee Street, St. Georgetown to see if his new transportation is of investment value... Beckland is really big, each district is almost equivalent to Tingen City, and the East District is particularly exaggerated, at least twice the price... The most convenient and cost-effective way to travel is to turn your feet into a steam subway and then your feet, which is a bit of a waste of time... Klein is radiating his mind endlessly.
Beckland's public carriage system is similar to Tingen and the price is similar. The only problem is that most of them are limited to a separate area. If you want to transfer from Joe Wood to St. George, you need to transfer several times on the way, so the price will naturally go up.
This situation makes the prospect of new vehicles very attractive.
Dong!Dong!Dong!
At this moment, the loud knocking sound of a pounding door echoed and penetrated into Klein's ears.
Who... didn't know how to pull the doorbell... He muttered a few words, sorted out the collar, came to the door, and stretched out his hand to pull it open.
The one who appeared in front of him was an acquaintance, the plateau man who had chased Little Ian on the steam subway, had dark skin, deep eye sockets, and was thin and delicate.
According to the result of Klein's psychic, he was called Meurso, the executioner of the Zmanger Party, and the leader with a high position.
May I ask, which one are you looking for?Do you want to entrust me with something?Klein deliberately showed some confusion.
Mersau wore a black coat and a flamboyant silk top hat, but he didn't look like a gentleman at all.
He looked at Klein coldly and asked in Ruen's words with a strong plateau accent:
You're Sherlock Moriarty?
Yes.Klein replied concisely.
Murso nodded stiffly and said:
I want to entrust you to find someone.
Let’s talk about the specific situation.Klein didn't let himself show any abnormality.
Mersau shook his head coldly:
unnecessary.
After saying that, his eyes suddenly became sharp:
The person I'm looking for is Ian, Ian Wright, who has bright red eyes, about fifteen or sixteen years old, likes to wear brown, old coats and dome hats of the same color, I think you should know him.
Klein laughed:
I don't understand what you're talking about.
Mersau did not seem to hear the other party's denial: He was a thief who stole a very important item from me, and as long as you can find him, you can get at least £10.
You have provided too few clues.Klein made an excuse casually.
30 pounds.Mersault gives a new offer.
Klein looked at him and said:
No, this is contrary to my confidentiality principle.
50 pounds.Mersau responded coldly.
...I'm sorry, I won't take on this task.Klein was stunned for two seconds, but finally chose to refuse.
Mersau looked at him slowly and deeply for several seconds, his eyes gradually becoming cold and fierce.
He did not give a new offer, nor did he say goodbye without politeness, and turned around suddenly and walked quickly to the end of the street.
This gang has very good intelligence capabilities... He actually knows that Ian has come to me before... Klein sighed a few words secretly, but he did not feel too much worry or fear.
After all, I have faced the descendants of the evil god. Although I have a layer of belly... As I thought about it, his smile suddenly shone brightly and he began to toss his coin to decide whether to go out today.
The answer is yes.
…………
St. George District, Saatchi Street.
Klein, who turned to a steam subway to a trackless bus, finally arrived at his destination, spending a total of 11 pence.
As soon as he walked out of the car, he found that it was drizzling outside, and he did not bring an umbrella.
According to newspapers and magazines, this is Beckland's daily routine. The reason why hats are popular is that ladies and gentlemen do not carry umbrellas at all times... Klein pressed his half-height silk top hat and rushed to the outside of House No. 9 in small steps, using the eaves to block the rain.
He patted off obvious water droplets on his body and rang the doorbell.
But he did not hear the sound of Cuckoo, nor did he notice the jingling movement.
The doorbell broke?Klein was about to raise his hand and knock on the door when he suddenly noticed footsteps from far to near.
The figure of the person naturally appeared in his mind. A tall and thin man in his thirties, black hair and blue eyes, was wearing gray-blue worker costumes, but he looked gentle and kind.
As the door opened, the gentleman rubbed his forehead and said:
Who are you looking for?What's wrong?
Klein took off his hat and bent down slightly and said:
I came to find Mr. Rapard, and I was interested in his new type of transportation.
The gentleman's eyes lit up suddenly:
I'm Rapard, please come in.
He turned his body sideways and lets Klein enter, but there is no cloak rack in the foyer.
Klein could only rely on his cane and followed Rapard to the living room without taking off his coat.
I have to say that this gentleman's home is very messy, with many mechanically related items placed on the coffee table in the living room alone, such as wrenches, bearings and screwdrivers.
How much do you want to invest?Ah, by the way, do you want to drink coffee or black tea? Well... it seems that there is no black tea... Rapard blurted out.
The gentleman was a little straightforward and seemed not very good at interpersonal communication... Klein thought for a flash, changed his scheduled speech, and replied bluntly:
I have to see your new type of transportation before I can make a decision.
I can't make a promise without knowing anything.
While speaking, he looked around and saw the triangle holy emblem hanging on the wall.
This is a symbol of the god of steam and machinery, and the solid triangle is filled with symbols such as steam, gears and levers.
Rapard was not disgusted with Klein's way of going straight to the point, and immediately said:
I'll take you to see it.
As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped his head: I almost forgot that we must first sign a confidentiality contract to make sure you don't steal my invention.
Mr. Rapard, your memory is not very good... Klein smiled:
no problem.
After signing the simple contract, Rapard led Klein into the house suspected to be a living room. He opened the room next door and the basement, making it much wider and much empty.
There were many parts on the ground, and a rough thing half a person tall, similar to a carriage carriage, stood in the center.
In addition, the doorbell's line is also connected here and is cleverly arranged. As long as someone pulls the rope, the mechanical device will pop up a steel ball to roll along a special track, hitting the things in the center, creating the same echo.
The sound is certainly not too loud, but it is enough to wake up Rapard, who is addicted to machinery.
That's the new type of transportation you invented?Klein pointed to the rough things in the center.
Yes, I invented it based on the imagination of Emperor Rossell!Rapard replied with a frenzy look.
What is the imagination of Emperor Rossell?Klein asked in surprise.
Rapard explained in a worship tone:
Emperor Rossell left a manuscript that depicts his imagination of various mechanical devices in the future. He is such an outstanding genius, no, master!Many things inside have become reality!Haha, this manuscript is preserved in the Steam and Machinery Church. It is not a devout believer and cannot be borrowed.
...Director, do you still leave a way out for others? Ah... Klein's mouth moved and he almost couldn't keep his smile.
Let me introduce it in detail.He changed the subject.
Rapard led Klein to the rough metal thing and opened the door:
This is a means of transportation that does not require a horse.
The coachman sat in front of the left, constantly stepped on the pedal, connecting the four wheels through levers, chains, etc., so that they rolled forward. On the wheels, I used the method of rubber inflation, which would make the driving smooth.
So, that is, human resources cars?Klein couldn't help but complain.
He said carefully:
With such a huge cabin, at least four passengers may not be able to travel far by relying solely on people.
This is exactly what I'm going to next, reducing weight and magnifying the multiples of the leverage!But my financial situation is no longer optimistic and cannot support more attempts.Raypad looked at Klein hopefully.
Why not consider other ways?For example, using steam as power?Klein slowly organized the language.
Rapard shook his head: Someone has invented this, but it is very large and has difficulty driving on many streets.
Klein waited for this sentence:
So, why don't you make a simpler one, for example, only two wheels, only one person can carry, and no shell.
You mean the bicycle type?Rapard asked back as if thinking.
Is there any in Rossell's manuscript?Klein nodded heavily:
Yes.
The bikes that others invented are not very practical... simplifying this... It seems that it is really OK, it is indeed different... But who would buy it?Rapard said to himself.
Klein gave the direction without hesitation:
Postman, a working class with a little savings, doesn't need too many decent but can save money...this is a lot in Beckland.
Rapard thought for a while, nodded slightly:
...I can try it, but I don't have the money to buy parts...
I invest 100 pounds for you, and with my suggestions just now, I occupy it together... Klein hesitated whether to say 10% of the shares or 15% better. After all, 100 pounds is not strictly too much.
You can occupy 35% of the shares!But only for the bike project you describe!Rapard said first, afraid that the other party would make too high demands.
make a deal!Klein immediately smiled and said, "Let's draft a simple contract first and decide on this matter. I will then find a lawyer to get a formal contract and add some detailed terms. For example, if someone invests again, I must get my consent first."
No problem.Rapard couldn't wait to answer, just wanting to buy parts as soon as possible.
…………
In the darkness brought by the continuous rain, Klein returned to Minsk Street, Joewood District.
He entered the house and headed straight to the bathroom on the first floor, comfortably solving the problem of bloating in his lower abdomen.
Crazy.
As the sound of water echoed, Klein bent down to wash his hands.
At this moment, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind:
The wash mirror reflected him with his head down, his dim environment and his eyes on the side.
A pair of eyes!
