Extraordinary Mechanical City

Ryan turned down her offer.

The lady's expression remained the same, but she was still smiling: "Well, I'll add another 50 million. You should know the price of the auction house, and ordinary top-quality gloves are worth this price. If you don't want money, I can also buy you a fighting protective gear of the same quality in the chamber of commerce.”

After a pause, she saw that Ryan's expression was not at all, and continued: "You know, this glove is of great significance to the little girl. It is just an unfeeling request from a mother, so I hope you can give up. Your generosity will win the friendship of our 'Sunflower Chamber of Commerce'."

It's intimidation and temptation, and now it's playing the emotional card.

Ren also had to admit that this woman was not simple, and she handled people's hearts just right.

She is a qualified businessman.

100 million lisuo, the general high-end protective gear is really only worth this price.

But that's normal, not a "famous device".

[Kanap's Sacred Gloves] Not to mention its effectiveness, it is the workmanship produced by Master Primo, plus the meaning of [Iron Fist] Rudolf Kanap's famous object, which is unique in the world.

The material cost of the protective gear is at this price, but if you really want to buy it, no matter what price you ask, it depends on whether the person is willing to sell it. A premium of three to five times is normal.

Moreover, Ryan did not intend to sell.

Compared with money, he prefers to have a pair of gloves that fit his hands.

Moreover, the lady said something wrong.

You said you were "the friendship of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce", and he really agreed immediately. After all, Ren still owed a lot of favor to that Canossa president.

But what is your "friendship of the Sunflower Chamber of Commerce", why should I give you face?

In the future, it will definitely be the existence of the enemy, and I will give you back as an enemy?

And at this time, the strange rosiness on Toust's face also dissipated.

Ren guessed that this woman might be involved with the old man, fearing that it would cause a misunderstanding.

He didn't rush to refuse, but asked instead: "May I ask what's your name?"

Naturally, there is no need for the lady to rush to speak in such a link. The butler beside her proudly introduced: "This is the eldest daughter of Seth von Sebil, the Minister of Commerce of the Omar Empire, the 'Marquis of Xiangshan', and the current vice president of the 'Sunflower Chamber of Commerce', Phoebe Ms von Sebiel."

The introduction of the nobleman's identity will always carry a lot of names, titles and identities, and the social relationship is clear at a glance.

Ryan had never heard of this woman's name.

But the "Smart Brain" records the biography of the "Marquis of Xiangshan" Seth von Sebil, which is quite inspirational.

I heard that he was also a little Viscount twenty or thirty years ago, and later climbed up to the position of Minister of Commerce of Omar, successfully squeezed into the circle of high-ranking nobles in the imperial capital of Omar, and became famous.

Mr. Toust finally couldn't hold back, and asked with a trembling voice: "Madam, do you know a lady named 'Erma Garcia'?"

Hearing this, the lady named Phoebe looked at the old man calmly, and said lightly, "I don't know him."

She lied.

Of course she had heard the name.

Because this is her mother's name before she got married.

But she didn't want to have anything to do with this old man who looked like he wanted to crawl out of the cemetery.

Since their father became the "Minister of Commerce", their Lopez family has become the hottest business dignitaries in Omar, and they are used to seeing too many poor relatives who want to make friends with just a little relationship.

Toust still didn't give up, and said again: "There is a red mole on the corner of her lips, and she also has long wine red hair. She was as beautiful as you when she was young."

"Sorry, old gentleman, I don't know the man you're talking about."

The lady smiled gently and interrupted him.

Huh, hunters living in tents?

There is not even one room in the machine city of the camp, and it is definitely not the five major families of the "Glorious City", nor any high-ranking nobles of the two empires.

Although she didn't show any abnormalities on her face, she looked down on such low-level people from the bottom of her heart.

The lady turned her gaze back to Ren, and directly returned to the topic just now, "Mr. Ren, what do you think of my proposal just now?"

When Ren saw this, he probably understood it, turned around and asked, "Grandpa Toust, what do you think?"

If this woman is really old with Mr. Toust, it's not impossible to save face.

Toust didn't go to see the lady, and said, "Little Ryan, that's your business, you don't have to ask me. I just think this lady looks very similar to a friend I knew before."

After a pause, the expectation in his eyes finally dimmed completely, "It seems that I was wrong."

Hearing this, Ren raised his eyebrows and said to the lady, "Sorry, ma'am. I have no idea of ​​selling the spoils for the time being."

"Are you really going to stop thinking about it?"

"Yes."

"The price is still negotiable."

"Don't talk about it, don't sell it."

Hearing this, the smile on the lady's face instantly subsided.

The housekeeper at the side couldn't hold it anymore, jumped out impatiently, and scolded: "Have you thought it through? It's fine if you use despicable means to win my lady, really think that this thing is yours after you get it? You... "

"Forget it, let's go."

After all, the lady is a businessman who knows how to weigh the pros and cons. Although the housekeeper said what was in her heart, she didn't intend to tear her face completely, "Since the little brother is unwilling to give up, it's a pity."

"No."

Ren snorted coldly and ignored him.

Drive away those uninvited guests,

Ren started to fiddle with the medicinal materials again. It's no wonder that serious scientists don't like too much social interaction. These behaviors are really a waste of time and experience.

And Mr. Toust was still lying on the chair in a daze, not returning to his senses for a long time.

Ren didn't bother him, and quietly packed the potion.

Carl Jr. was also helping to clean up the broken glass test tubes on the ground.

Suddenly, the old man said: "Boy Ryan, little Carl, don't you want to know why I lost my composure just now?"

Karl didn't quite understand the emotional world of adults, so he blinked suspiciously.

Although Ren thought of something, he pretended not to know, and asked, "That lady reminded you of some old people?"

Toust nodded, his cloudy eyes became deeper and deeper, shining with the divine light of reminiscence.

"When I was young, I loved a girl. She also had wine red hair. Oh, no! To be precise, they are almost exactly the same."

He pondered for a moment, and talked about the past thirty years ago that had never been mentioned before.

Speaking of the girl in his heart, the old man had a warm smile that he had never seen before.

"When I was six years old, I entered the Omar Royal Academy of Sciences. When I was fourteen years old, I got the 'Senior Mechanic' assessment medal and graduated as the first place in the academy. Then I worked as a teaching assistant in the academy."

"I only like to engage in scientific research, and I am not interested in positions, honors, patents, communication... all time-wasting behaviors. As long as I am given the necessary conditions for research, I don't even want to go out of the laboratory."

"And she spent the best time of my life with me."

"."

Ryan listened quietly.

He heard a general idea from Bazel before, but the focus was on the "scandal".

Now the old man is talking about the most beautiful love when he was young.

He also finally understood why the old man lost his composure when he saw the lady just now.

For a truly top scientist like Toust, the emotional world is as pure as a mathematical formula, 1+1=2, which can only be equal to 2.

They devote all their enthusiasm to science, and the remaining love for life is only enough to love one person.

They will not fall in love with someone easily, once they fall in love, it will be a lifetime.

but,

This story begins with hearing,

Lane knew it would end in tragedy.

In fact, when Ryan heard about the "scandal" of the Royal Academy of Sciences from Bazel, he discovered several obvious suspicious points in it.

Toust made a fuss, saying that the second official 'Bredan' stole hundreds of patents from him.

This is very intriguing. The creation cycle of hundreds of patents is definitely not short. If it is a one-time stolen application, it is easy to attract suspicion.

If it is a long-term stealing process, then a close person who can often come into contact with Toust's scientific research is needed.

The old man had a withdrawn personality when he was young, and there was only one outsider who could stay in his laboratory for a long time.

That was the girl in his story "Irma Garcia".

Moreover, the toxin in the old man's body is very special. It was a muscle-wasting toxin that the medical profession could not detect thirty years ago.

This is a toxin that can gradually shrink the human body without affecting the brain.

If it hadn't been for the early brain isolation, Toust would not be alive now.

Ryan associated other clues, and the conspiracy surfaced immediately.

Some people want him to use his brain, but they also hope that he may die at any time due to his physical condition without arousing suspicion.

Therefore, an undetectable chronic toxin is required.

The "scandal" broke out suddenly, which had a great impact on the then president of the Academy of Sciences.

The matter started an investigation procedure, and naturally some people suspected "Erma Garcia". If the technology was really stolen, then the testimony of this woman is extremely important.

But unfortunately, according to Toust, his lover committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake because he couldn't bear the humiliation.

The death of this key person turned Toust's complaint into a "false accusation", and eventually his reputation and family were ruined.

Then, things turned back to reality.

From a genetic point of view, the noble lady just now is probably directly related to the girl named "Irma Garcia" in the story.

This is very dramatic.

The girl who committed suicide to prove her chastity, not only did not die, but also married a nobleman, and now she has become a marquis with a nourishing life.

Obviously, this may be a bloody story of a green tea bitch + actor + spy.

Ryan didn't express any opinion, even though he guessed that it was not a good love story.

Thirty years is enough for people to figure everything out.

Probably, Mr. Toust had already guessed something.

But in the story he told, there was not even a little bit of hatred.

Finally, Toust finished the story.

The dying old man made his last wish before he died: "If my body allows, I would like to go back to the Royal Capital of Oma."

Let's take a look again, the piece of homeland that once hurt him the most.

Carl immediately said, "Grandpa, I'll accompany you."

"Grandpa Tuste, when you recover, I will accompany you."

Ren knew very well that his body probably did not allow him to cross the mountains and return to the Omar Empire east of the "Alcoron Mountains".

After listening to Toust's story,

Ren felt that the old man had a "frenzy" for feelings, just like his attitude towards science, and he was consistent.

However, it is also a good thing.

At least Mr. Toust seems to have another "obsession" to live.

I don't know why, but today seems to be very lively.

The troubles continued.

It even alarmed Bazel in the dark.

"Boy Ren, pay more attention these few days, it's best not to leave the base, there may be a little trouble."

"You mean...the people from the 'Sunflower Chamber of Commerce' will come to trouble me?"

"Hehe, just those guys, if they really want to think badly, how many fathers come to kill as many as they want, what kind of trouble can it be?"

"Then what do you mean?"

"Did you see the blue-tailed hawks in the sky? They've been circling the clouds all afternoon. When the men from 'Iron Boots' returned to the base, they followed them."
