Magus Tech (Technological Wizard)

With a "squeak", a heavy iron door was pushed open, and Li Cha and Sherlock walked into the warehouse.

This is a hall built underground with an area of ​​nearly a thousand square meters. On both sides of the hall, there are many wooden shelves, on which there are many collections collected by Sherlock, all of which are some very special existences - such as huge gems, amber wrapped with complete insects, broken staffs, and a young man. The old wizard's teeth were knocked out by life, etc.

In the middle of the hall is an open space, where some large collections that are not easy to put on wooden shelves are piled up-such as strangely shaped stones, bones of some huge ancient creatures, and complete specimens of demonized creatures.

It can be said that this is a very magical place, and many things that cannot be imagined and have completely different styles can be found here.

After bringing Richard in, Sherlock took the painting in his hand and quickly ran towards the depths of the warehouse, shouting: "That Richard, you can take a look for yourself, I hope you can find the Balas silver you need, I'll start by binding the painting in a wooden frame.

After speaking, Sherlock ran across a wooden frame, turned around and disappeared.

Li Cha shrugged, looked at the direction where Sherlock disappeared, and said, "Okay." Turning around, he started searching.

...

Looking around, Li Cha found that since he came to this collection warehouse last time, it is clear that Sherlock has added a lot of new collections during this period, such as the specimens of siren corpses, complete ivory sculptures, miniature The golden portrait and so on.

But after looking around, no metal palladium was found.

After searching a few more times, he found a lot of silver-white metals, but most of them were silver, and a small part was platinum, which he already owned and didn't need, and he didn't have a single gram of palladium.

this……

Li Cha frowned slightly.

Be patient and continue to search, finally after more than half an hour, he shook his head and accepted the reality: there is no metal palladium in Sherlock's hands.

This is also normal. After all, the real use of metal palladium has not yet been developed in the current world, and no one will collect it deliberately. Even if it is collected, many of them are used as fake silver. There is nothing.

In this case, he can only find a way to collect slowly by himself.

In this way, metal palladium will always be obtained, but it will take a lot of time - it is expected to be at least a month. If you are unlucky and there is no suitable mine nearby, then it may take two months, three months or even more.

But there is no way.

Taking a deep breath, Li Cha was about to tell Sherlock the result, then left, searched around, but couldn't find Sherlock in the maze-like warehouse.

"Sherlock!" Li Cha couldn't help shouting.

"I'm here—" Sherlock's voice echoed from a corner, but it sounded half dead.

"Huh? What are you doing?" Li Cha raised his eyebrows, and quickly walked over looking for the sound, and saw Sherlock squatting in a corner, staring straight at a statue, and there were some new statues around the statue. Stone chips, and Sherlock held a carving knife in his hand—it was obvious that Sherlock had been carving the statue during the time he disappeared just now.

Sherlock's craftsmanship is obviously superb, and the carved statue is lifelike. It looks like a living girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with double ponytails and a smile on her face.

"Beautiful, so beautiful..." Sherlock stared at the statue and muttered, "I want to keep it in my heart forever."

While talking, Sherlock turned his head to look at Li Cha, and explained: "I remember, I put her here half a month ago, and I had already finished most of her by that time, but I left because of a temporary incident. , the result is forgotten.

Just now, after I bound your painting, I saw her as soon as I turned around. This is obviously fate, so I finished her seriously,

Uh... perfect existence! "

Li Cha's eyes flickered, and he looked at Sherlock and said, "Don't you have a beautiful maid, can't a living person compare to a statue?"

"No, it's not the same." Sherlock shook his head. "Living people have the benefits of living people, and statues have the benefits of statues. Living people give me the most real feeling, but statues can keep the most perfect posture forever." .”

"Of course." Sherlock thought of something again, and said, "The statue also has a disadvantage, that is, it is too heavy, it is not easy to carry, it is forced to be carried, and it is easy to be damaged during transportation. Therefore, once the statue is completed, it is best A good way to deal with it is to stay in one place forever. If I want to have it forever, I can only keep it firmly in my heart. Alas." At the end, Sherlock sighed.

Li Cha blinked and said, "It's not necessarily so absolute."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Sherlock looked over.

"I know there is such a thing that can record a scene forever and keep it on paper." Richard said.

"You mean painting?" Sherlock pointed to the colored painting bound next to him, and said, "But painting is not real. Look at this hell, is it the real hell? I don't believe it. I know it too. , some spells have the effect of painting, but none of this is real."

Li Cha said: "What I'm talking about is not painting or magic, but an instrument that uses light to work. If possible, I will show it to you next time I come here, and you will understand. Of course, This machine is very special, you must ensure that you use it privately, and don’t spread it.”

"I, you still can't believe it?" Sherlock said.

"If you don't believe me, I won't mention the instrument." Richard said.

"That's it, then it's settled." Sherlock said, and then asked, "By the way, how is your Balas silver?"

Li Cha shook his head: "I didn't find it, obviously you don't have it here."

"Then I'll ask some of my friends to help you take a picture?" Sherlock asked with a serious expression, "You know, I have a lot of friends, although my friendship with them is not as deep as yours, as long as Give them the corresponding money, they are very happy to help me.

So, as long as I ask for money, I may be able to find the Balas silver you need. Of course, the time may be a little longer, but I guarantee that one month will definitely help you find it. "

"A month." Li Cha said, "Actually, if I look for it myself, it will take about a month, so I should look for it myself, and I won't bother you."

"That won't work." Sherlock was anxious, "You don't like to take my things for nothing, and I don't like to take your things for nothing. I have already taken your tempera for nothing, and I also ordered you to work with light for the one you mentioned. instrument, I must give you something, right?

Otherwise, in my garden, except for me and Lucia, you can take whatever you like. "

Li Cha: "..." Are you serious?
