Chapter 74 Miss Centaur

There is a robbery between Colonel Koluth Haken and his veterans, which ended with the death of Colonel Haken and the imprisonment of some veterans.

Under the operation of Mr. Eaton and Dr. Rowan, veterans involved in the Mint Robbery were sent to a relatively well-conditioned prison where they would spend their old age.

Luo Wen also took out a portion of his monthly salary and mailed it to the warden in order to take care of these veterans. Perhaps this is a good thing, at least these people don’t have to fall into the streets anymore.

As for veterans who are not directly involved in the robbery, they are immune to prison as long as they are willing to hand over their guns and ammunition and have not committed other criminal cases.

For this reason, Ed spent the whole week, and with the help of the old beggar Joseph Dali, he confiscated most of the outflow guns.

In addition, to prevent similar incidents from happening again, the city council is also promoting a brand new bill -

Funds were allocated from the municipal government's finances to establish a small rescue agency called "Veterans' Home" in the East District, so that these elderly people with rich combat experience can have a basic place to stay and avoid endangering public security.

The veterans' story came to an end soon. At the same time, Ed also repaired the two damaged rotors of the Hornet drone through the Dream Catching Net.

I was wondering...is it possible to reverse engineer it and then mass-produce it?

He put his five fingers crossed his fingers at the new-looking Wasp drone in front of him, and communicated with Sylvie with his thoughts.

[I'm afraid it's not realistic. My dear good gentleman. Reverse engineering requires a professional scientific research team, precise measuring instruments, and a lot of time. It happens that you don't have these three things... But why not try to get the drawings directly?]

Try to contact the Royal Society, or try your luck at the Invisible Hand Auction House? Ed thought.

Due to Arthur's sacrifice and his neutral attitude during the "Metro Massacre" incident, the Shentuo Bureau has lost the support of the Royal Society in Yinwu City. I am afraid that the other party will not give him a good look.

The most important thing is that you can't get what they want in your hands.

The secret keeper program? The Royal Society is likely to be interested in this. But that is Ed's trump card and it is impossible to easily reveal it to the opponent.

As for the Invisible Hand Auction House, Ed felt that it was a way—

The real advantage of the Royal Society lies in its monopoly precision machine tools and a complete raw material supply chain. Without the support of production, the design drawing itself has no value.

A machine that cannot be made is meaningless.

For this reason, he judged that the Royal Society would be too entangled in the technical confidentiality of the quantity of products. It was entirely possible that he would acquire the design drawings of the Wasp drone from the invisible auction house at a relatively reasonable price.

However, according to Ed's calculations, to manipulate groups of mechanical creatures like Irving Jacob's siege of the Mint, personality crystallization needs to reach at least level 2.

Silvi, do you think I can try to transform into a Level 2 extraordinary person now? He asked.

[It depends on the situation. Generally speaking, it takes 1-2 years to transform from a level one extraordinary person to a level two. Genius such as "Silver Knight" Gelt also took five months to complete the transformation. I still recommend that you consolidate for a period of time so that it is safer.]

Silvi added:

[If you have any urgent needs, I can upgrade the program to 2.0 for you now, but we both have to take the risk of system crash. Once the system crashes, you will return to the state where your brain is pierced and you will lose all your extraordinary abilities.]

It was too dangerous, Ed shook his head, and returning to that state would be about death. There is no need to be so radical and take unnecessary risks.

Unexpectedly, as the "Everything Secret Keeper", his crystallization level would be overtaken by that young lady.

He took out Catalina's character card and rubbed it gently, and saw that the shape of the card had changed quietly, and the color became brighter and brighter, as bright as the sunlight.

...

On the open and spacious field, Catalina was riding on a horse and leaning down slightly. The air was filled with the fragrance of grass and soil, mixed with an animal smell unique to horses, but it was not offensive.

The world is presented to her in another way, and all the objects around her are moving rapidly. She must quickly react, judge, or moves corresponding to it to maintain this smooth and natural galloping state.

Horses are noble and loyal creatures. Catalina discovered that she had a special talent for horse training. Just as the ancient legendary druids could communicate with animals, she seemed to be able to understand the intentions of each horse, as if they were one with each other.

They crossed the white low fence, bypassed the barrel, and did not slow down even when they passed through obstacles. The other riders were left far behind by Catalina, which was not considered a "competition" at all and was no different from personal training.

"The winner is Miss Catalina of the Oakland family!"

The result of the game was no surprise. Thunderous applause and cheers came from the wooden platoon audience, but Catalina did not feel much joy-

The audience who can visit equestrian club events are mostly prominent families or noble squires around the city. The reason why they slapped their hands so hard was mostly because of the prestige of the Auckland family in the Conservative Party, rather than Catalina's riding skills.

One day, I will ask them to abandon the extra affixes in front and respectfully call me "Sir Catalina".

Catalina turned over and dismounted and put away the whip. Suddenly, she noticed the gaze of her eyes and looked at the audience station. The housekeeper Raun was sitting on the table, looking at her with relief.

"Grandpa Luon, why are you here?"

She walked over with the reins. The horse followed her obediently without any resistance, like a puppy.

Because his father Brandon Oakland had both legs disabled and had to rely on a trusted assistant to take care of his daily life, Lawn usually followed Brandon - especially after Catalina recovered from health.

There was a smile on Lawn's cheek. When Catalina had just remembered, there were not so many wrinkles on his face. In private, their relationship was more like juniors and elders than their masters and servants:

"I heard they all call you 'Miss Centaurus'."

Catalina's cheeks turned slightly red. This was the "award" given to Catalina by people in the club. Because she had a strong coordination with the horses, she looked like a centaur.

"Well, just think they are praising me. Actually, I don't like this title very much."

"I also heard something - you have completed the crystallization, is it true?" Lawn's back leaned forward slightly, his voice lowered a little.

While Ed was busy with the affairs of the Divine Mechanism Bureau, Catalina successfully transformed into a second-level extraordinary person—without the help of any ritual or potion, it seemed as if it was natural.

She nodded.

"Blessed by the Holy Spirit, so many miracles have happened to you in less than a month. Even a genius like Sir Gelt can't be as fast as a lady."

The housekeeper Luo Neng said respectfully.

"By the way, the master asked me to bring a gift. I originally planned to give it to you on your birthday."

Birthday gift?

Catalina was a little surprised.

She vaguely remembered that her father originally planned to give her the broken handle of "Tree Heart" as a birthday gift.

Is there anything more precious than this legendary sword?
