Jeff finally met the legendary person, although the scene made him very embarrassed
At that time, Jeff had just taken off his clothes and wanted to take a shower, but he didn't know how to open the valve, so he immediately put on a bathrobe and walked out of the dormitory.
It was not difficult to find the masked man who received him. Although the maid blushed when the maid saw his strong body, it was far less intense than being seen by that man.
At that time, the butler (to distinguish him from that person, let’s call the person who received Jeff the butler) was reporting to the person in the hall. He was stunned when he saw Jeff half-naked. This was the first time that person saw Jeff.
But he was very familiar with the people here, so he immediately identified Jeff's identity.
Although he was very tired after just busy setting up the magic circle, this embarrassing scene made him laugh and made Jeff blush.
The man pointed at Jeff and said with a smile: "Haha, I didn't expect you to be a stranger and consider this place your home?"
Naturally, Jeff couldn't just take the blame for nothing, so he immediately defended: "No, that's not the case. I originally wanted to take a shower, but I didn't know how to open the valve, so I thought of asking the housekeeper. I didn't expect you, the master, to take a shower."
exist"
This can’t be blamed on Jeff. When we were on Earth, we used tap water that turned on with just a twist. After that, in the Wren Empire and other places, we went directly to rivers and wells to get water. But the bathroom in the castle was equipped with a very strange device.
, Jeff was afraid that he would break it if he broke it randomly, so he came out to ask the butler.
The butler's responsibility is to take good care of the guests. If a guest has a problem, the butler will naturally have to deal with it. As soon as the owner speaks, the butler will immediately take Jeff back to the dormitory and teach him how to open the valve.
But before he left, the master said: "No. 19, let me teach him personally. After all, it is also my proud work."
The butler stood there with his hands down obediently, respectfully seeing off his master and guests before going about his own business.
Jeff followed the master in a hurry, all the way to his dormitory. Of course, he did not forget to explore the master's ability on the way. Although the results were not optimistic, the master could at least feel the fluctuations in his soul. It seemed that he was not dead.
Spiritual creature
When he came to the bathroom, the owner directly touched his finger on the black crystal stone. After a flash of light, the water finally flowed out. At this time, Jeff was a little confused. It was not that he didn't put his hand there, but still
There's really no water flowing out
Jeff scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Is it the fingerprint recognition system?"
The owner was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly asked: "What fingerprint identification system?"
Jeff explained: "The fingerprints on people's fingers are all different, so the owner can be identified by fingerprints. As long as the owner puts his finger on it, the crystal will recognize the fingerprint, and then the water will come out. Isn't it like this?"
The host nodded thoughtfully, seeming to understand what Jeff said.
"What you said seems feasible, but the system I designed is not like that. The black crystal in my system is an energy collection system. As long as energy is input, the drive system will start supplying water. If you want to stop the water supply, just input energy again."
"
This is a bit like the touch switch on earth. It is hard to imagine that there is such a high-tech thing in another world. However, I heard that the owner said it was his own invention. It seems that in addition to being powerful, this owner is also a smart person.
inventor
"Okay, come to the living room after you finish washing, I will wait for you there."
After saying that, the masked owner left the bathroom
Jeff temporarily put aside his worries, washed away the sweat on his body with hot water, then closed his eyes and let the water wash over his body.
Jeff is becoming more and more interested in the owner of this castle, but when he thinks that his life is in the hands of others, he still feels a little uncomfortable. In fact, the owner of this castle is also very interested in Jeff. To be honest, he is
He has heard many legends about the demons. Although he is not sure whether this man is the son of the demons, the fingerprint recognition system he mentioned just now is enough to impress him.
The formal meeting between the two finally began in a harmonious atmosphere
At the beginning of the meeting, the owner of the castle said directly: "Hey, boy, I think you must be very interested in my identity? To be honest, I am also very interested in your identity. So, please tell me your origin first.
Then I will introduce myself, how about it?"
Although in theory it was the host who wanted to treat the guests preferentially and introduced himself first, considering the principle that strong dragons do not overwhelm local cowards, and the fact that he was not a strong dragon at all, Jeff still obediently started to introduce himself.
"My full name is Jeff, Kou, Fox, Marquis of the Renne Empire, and I am also a war guard. However, some of them call me the son of the demon. I am not sure whether this is true."
The owner of the castle smiled and said: "You are not sure, but I can confirm it for you. As long as you answer me a question, I can immediately confirm your identity. Are you from a planet called Earth?"
Jeff was completely shocked at this time. He didn't expect that the owner of the castle would actually know about the earth. At this time, he looked at the owner of the castle and immediately became cautious, for fear of revealing more of his secrets.
The castle owner raised his lips and said, "Answer my question, yes or no."
Jeff had no choice but to answer: "Yes"
After hearing his answer, the owner of the castle immediately laughed happily and said: "Haha, great, I knew where you must be from. Then you must be the son of the demon clan. It seems that those idiots on the earth are
They are so obedient that they actually bribed the officials of the imperial court and sent their demon warriors to die, hahaha."
Jeff was a little depressed. It seemed that he had indeed been betrayed by his boss, and the cultists on earth who listened to the castle master were indeed fools for being deceived so easily.
"I've finished answering your questions, is it your turn next?"
The owner of the castle replied with a smile on his face: "Haha, actually my name is very common. Maybe you have heard of it. My name is Edward Elric."
Jeff was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "Edward? This name really sounds familiar. When I passed through the human kingdom, I once heard the song of the bard. There seems to be a story about a puppet named Edward.
"teacher's"
Edward smiled and said: "Bingo, that's the right answer. It's a pity that there is no prize. I am the Edward they call, the most famous puppet master, mechanic and alchemist in history."
Jeff was stunned. Edward was a legendary figure, and the story of him falling in love with the puppet he created has also become a legend in the Western Continent. In fact, no matter who sees the legendary figure, he will go crazy. Imagine what would happen if
One day an old man stands in front of you and tells you that he is God. How will you react?
Jeff asked cautiously: "Are you really that Edward? The puppet master who fell in love with his own puppet?"
Edward asked back: "What's wrong, don't I look like him?"
Jeff suddenly thought of the housekeeper who had no soul fluctuations, and the exquisitely crafted water supply system. He was already seven or eight percent convinced. However, his expression was not as obvious as it was. He still had a puzzled expression on his face after all.
On Earth, Jeff has experienced the clumsiness of robots. The difficult-to-understand golems from other worlds are even better than the robots on Earth, and they can already be difficult to distinguish between real and fake?
Edward naturally saw Jeff's expression, so he immediately sent the butler to find a maid.
When a pile of well-made parts were placed in front of Jeff, Jeff had to believe that the technology of the other world had surpassed the technology of the earth in some aspects. Just talking about the artificial intelligence of this golem, it simply surpassed the earth in all aspects.
Jeff was a member of the Dragon Group back then. Although he was only a peripheral member, he had seen many top-secret technological inventions. Although the country's hidden technological level was already very high, judging from this artificial intelligence alone, the Earth's level had already
outdated
Jeff said with some depression: "Now I completely believe that you are Edward. I didn't expect to see the legend before I died. This life is not in vain."
Edward was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would be so calm in the face of death. But it also made him feel a little relieved. At least he didn't have to force Jeff to do what he wanted. But he was a bit wrong to think this way.
Although Jeff has faced the threat of death calmly, it does not mean that he has given up resistance. If Jeff was really a resigned person, then he would not have been able to fight from a simple soldier to the periphery of the dragon group.
Member, but fortunately Edward misunderstood Jeff's original intention, otherwise Jeff would have had a hard time now.
"However, the story says that you fell in love with the doll you made, which is a bit too incredible." Jeff couldn't help but express his doubts.
Although he couldn't see Edward's face, Jeff felt that his face must be ugly at this time. After all, Edward was treated as a pervert in the story, because falling in love with a demon is difficult for anyone.
I believe that although Jeff is more advanced in thinking and can accept the existence of extraordinary feelings between same-sex people, he really can't believe Edward's unconventional love.
Although Edward was different from ordinary people, at least he was a courageous person, so he immediately replied: "Yes, this story is true. I did fall in love with the doll I made myself, and I couldn't help myself. But that
