Chapter 2799: The Society of Truth and the Difference Engine

Both the North and the South are aware of the value of this automated computing machine, so they have their own design and manufacturing plans.

During the Midhill Castle incident last year, after learning that Carsenrick was seeking intelligence from the Draerion Academy of Sciences on the "automatic mechanized gear calculator based on steam power", Resia passed the drawings with key parts missing to them through Shade (Chapter 655).

In that intelligence, Shade called the machine a "difference engine".

Therefore, Carsenrick thought that thing was called a "difference engine". After MI6 stole the intelligence from the Royal Academy of Sciences of Carsenrick, it brought the name back to the North, so the North also began to call it a "difference engine".

"I know this, and I am also concerned about the current cutting-edge technological development. Is the Truth Society busy with this?"

The thirteenth ring warlock of the Creation Church nodded:

"During the Pantanal War last winter, when the now mad Legins Prisha was holding the Chosen Ceremony, didn't the light of enlightenment allow many people to gain knowledge and wisdom?

The insider of the church got intelligence that the vice president of the Truth Society, Miss Pavo, who was present at the time, and now the president of the Ninth Ring, received enlightenment related to the manufacture of the differential machine. And we are almost certain that the differential machine she wants is definitely different from what ordinary scientists imagine.

That Miss Pavo has always been a god. Secret, but we know that she specializes in mathematics, and she must have a deep understanding of this kind of machinery. "

Seeing that Shade showed an interested expression, Mr. Delong shook his head again:

"We only know this, and the information of the [Truth Society] is not easy to obtain.

You also know that the power I am good at is related to machinery and steam power, so I have been paying attention to the "Difference Machine" project of Delarion and Carsonrick for a long time, and I am also very clear about its value.

No matter what Miss Pavo of the Truth Society knew at the time, I have a hunch that the project they are working on related to the difference machine will probably be the craziest plan of the [Truth Society] in history. plan."

"Then didn't the church investigate the two academies of science to determine whether there were any insiders planted by the Truth Society? Even if Miss Pav was enlightened, the Truth Society can't design such complex large-scale machinery from scratch, right?"

"It's useless."

The thirteenth ring magician shook his head:

"The Truth Society is not just a ring magician organization. Crazy ordinary scientists and mechanics are also part of the Truth Society. In fact, in my opinion, one-third of the people in the Southern and Northern Academies of Science have the potential to become members of the Truth Society. In this crazy era, the most lacking thing is people with talent and ideas. Crazy.

I have made suggestions to the church, and the church has been monitoring the progress of this project. We have not relaxed our vigilance. It's just that now manpower is needed everywhere in the material world, and the matter of [Truth Society] and the differential machine is obviously not the most urgent. "

He moved his left arm, and Shade clearly heard the sound of gears and bearings:

"In short, I am personally willing to trade with you any information related to [Truth Society]. "

"That Miss Pavo is mysterious. Although I have met her several times, I don't have any information for the time being. "

The last time I saw Miss Pavo was before the Battle of Moon Bay. This time, the lady should also appear.

Thinking of the prophecy made by the old fishman priest of the [Scarlet Cult] before his death during the Coldwater Port incident last fall - it said that Mr. Gerard Delong "you, as a human being, want to abandon flesh and blood", Shade not only guessed that the thirteenth ring warlock of the Mechanical Church was interested in the differential machine, but also wanted to use the "differential machine" to complete some extraordinary experiments.

Of course, this was just a suspicion, and he was not going to question the church's ring wizard, whom he did not actually know.

Considering that he had spent too much time "going to the bathroom", Shade also planned to go back, so he asked the real question that made him come over to talk:

"Speaking of which, Mr. Delong, you are here because there is something wrong with this afternoon tea party?"

"Aren't you here too?"

The ring wizard of the Creation Church asked with a smile, and then explained:

"I am idle in the church, and occasionally I will participate in social activities. Maybe I can run into some "surprises", such as meeting you in this afternoon's schedule?"

He then looked at Shade:

"So is there anything wrong here?"

"At least not at the moment. This is the city center. Who dares to make trouble here?"

The two nodded to each other, and Shade turned and left the venue.

After staying in the bathroom for a while to make sure that he was not being followed, and using his senses to repeatedly check whether there were any small mechanical creations nearby, Shade changed back into his disguise and returned to Flora.

The witch teased Shade for being away for too long, but then took out a fashion magazine from nowhere and asked Shade if the clothes on it were suitable for her.

This question was not easy to answer, and it was obviously too perfunctory to say "all suitable". Therefore, Shade could only ask "her" for help, and then chose two sets of dark dresses.

Flora praised him for his "good taste".

Although Lady Chatara is a foreigner, her social skills are extraordinary. In just two months in Vista City, almost all local nobles and merchants know her.

That's why she looked very busy at the afternoon tea party. Shade and Flora didn't have the chance to approach her until four o'clock in the afternoon, or she took the initiative to find her.

This was not planned by Shade and Flora, but Sir Wayne briefly talked to Lady Chatara, who seemed to have nothing to do with him, so the lady knew that Shade had the "high-end goods" that the ladies of Willendal had passed on by word of mouth.

"What a handsome young man~"

She came to the sofa with a fan and stretched out her hand to Shade, who stood up, took her hand, and kissed her fingers.

[Yes, devil. ]

"She" whispered in his ear, and Shade tried hard not to make a disgusting expression. But anyway, the four fissions of the devil were finally gathered together:

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

Mrs. Shatara is a noble lady with golden hair and a plump figure. Although Miss Bell said she was close to forty years old, she looked only in her thirties.

When she covered her face with a fan and squinted her eyes and smiled, the description of "still charming" was really appropriate for her.

At this time, Shade was very glad that he brought Flora with him to conduct this investigation, because Flora, who also stood up, almost immediately showed hostility to Mrs. Shatara without any disguise. And this hostility can help Shade cover up his discovery, so Flora's acting skills are really good.

【To be honest, do you really think she is acting? 】

"Good afternoon, Mr. Holmes. I just heard from a knight that you have the 'golden yarn' of Willendel, right?"

"Golden yarn" is the name given by the people of Willendel to the high-end stockings that Miss Sylvia does not sell. "Gold" represents nobility and rarity, and "yarn" represents that it is a textile.

"Yes, but this kind of fabric cannot be bought. To be honest, this is a gift from my business partner."

Shad explained, and the lady who covered the lower half of her face with a fan smiled and asked:

"Well, sir, I'm really embarrassed to say that I have always heard of the 'golden yarn' of Willendel, and I have seen other people use it at cocktail parties and banquets, but... do you intend to transfer one or two pairs? I can buy it at a high price."

"This"

Shad looked at Flora in embarrassment:

"I have given those golden yarns to my female companions as gifts."

"I don't have the habit of giving my clothes to others."

So the witch said, staring at the woman who looked quite "coquettish" without showing any weakness. She knew that she was a latecomer compared to Carina and others, so she had no position to judge Shad's emotional life, but she didn't want such a person to get close to Shad, which was the consensus of the witches.

As long as Lady Shatara was not stupid, she would certainly feel the hostility of the young female companion next to Shad, but she didn't feel anything wrong:

"That's really a pity. For outsiders like us in Willendel, it's hard to break into the circle of those ladies, even if we want to wear clothes with the same taste as them."

She said goodbye politely and turned to leave. Flora was still a little unhappy. After sitting down, she didn't forget to warn Shad to stay away from such people.

Although the identity of the demon has only been confirmed now, it seems that the relationship between the Hoy Manor that caught fire three hundred years ago, the current Kant family, the antiques in the cellar of the deserted village, and the Delinor Restorationists can be sorted out.

There is still no trace of the time curse on the body of this split body of the demon, so the treasure of the Hoy family was brought by an ordinary person, Sir Wayne, from three hundred years ago.

Part of the "Hoy Treasure" was kept by Sir Wayne himself for his business, so as to expand the power of the Derlingol Restorationists; the other part was given to the local police chief, Mr. Kant, through the deserted village as a transit station, and the subsequent treasure was used as a temptation to manipulate him to contact the upper class nobles of Willendel.

As for why Sir Wayne gave the antiques to Chief Kant, it should be guided by "Mrs. Shatara", who is also a Restorationist. Shad even speculated whether Chief Kant has been cooperating with the Derlingol Restorationists.

If this is true, Shad can only say that the demon of fire can actually be renamed "the demon who provokes war".
