Magus Tech (Technological Wizard)

Seeing that Li Cha didn't respond for a long time, Sherlock said with some guilt: "No way, then...how about I help you find Balas silver. Although you can find it, the quantity is uncertain. If so, I can help."

"This..." Li Cha thought for a while, considering how much metal palladium will be used in the research process, and this metal can also be stored, he nodded and agreed, "Okay, then you Help find Balassilver."

"Then it's settled!"

"It's decided, I'll go first." Li Cha said and walked towards the warehouse door.

"I'll see you off." Sherlock hurriedly followed, and said with concern, "By the way, will your research be stalled before you find Balas Silver?"

"It looks like research is going to stop right now, but the rest can be done."

"That's not bad, by the way, you can tell me more about the appearance of that Balas silver in detail, so as to save me from finding the wrong one."

"Okay." Li Cha nodded and said, "First of all, the appearance is silvery white, and then the texture is relatively soft, with excellent ductility and plasticity... Let's put it this way, you can regard it as a special Silver, but compared with ordinary silver, it weighs about one-eighth, and in the market, one ounce weighs about 0.775 pounds, which is more than three-quarters of a pound."

"One ounce, more than three quarters of a pound." Sherlock nodded seriously.

"There is one more thing." Richard said, "Balas silver is brighter than silver. I won't go into details about the reason. It is roughly that silver will contact with oxygen in the air, oxidize and turn black. Ballas silver is not, it is always shiny..."

"It looks shiny." Sherlock nodded seriously again.

At this moment, Li Cha seemed to have suddenly thought of some important and missing clue, and suddenly stopped talking, stood still, and stopped in place, frowning deeply.

"What's wrong?" Sherlock looked at Li Cha and asked aloud.

Li Cha slowly turned his head to look at Sherlock and asked, "Do you still remember that your clock is a collection similar to the one I took out at the beginning?"

"Uh, of course I remember, it's been in my bedroom, and I showed it to you just now, how could I forget?" Sherlock said, "But... what's wrong with that thing?"

"It's not a problem." Li Cha shook his head, and said with a strange light in his eyes, "I suddenly thought that your clock is silver-white, and it looks shiny."

"You mean..." Sherlock's eyes widened and he suddenly understood something.

At this moment, Li Cha quickly asked, "How long have you had that clock?"

"Uh, it's been several months."

"You didn't scrub with anything?"

"No."

"So it's always this bright?"

"It's always been so bright!" Sherlock said affirmatively, looking more excited than Richard, "I know, that clock must be made of Ballas silver!"

"Now, I'm not completely sure, I need to test it." Li Cha shook his head and maintained his composure, then frowned, "But having said that, just now I was only thinking about the clock maker, and I almost missed the material of the clock. , it was a mistake."

"It's okay." Sherlock said loudly with a look of great honor for being able to help, "Needless to say, you can test it now. If it is really Balassilver, I will immediately Take that clock apart and give you its case for experimentation.

Although I feel a little distressed, it is nothing in front of our great friendship. Besides, don't you have a similar one, even though it's a little smaller, I accept it. "

"Huh?" Li Cha's eyes flashed, he glanced at Sherlock, and couldn't help but said, "What are you thinking about!"

"What?" Sherlock couldn't help being taken aback,

He whispered, "Why, did I think something wrong?"

Li Cha looked at Sherlock and said slowly: "You didn't think wrong, but your thinking was too ideal. You don't even think about it, even if your clock is made of metal palladium, how much does a shell weigh? It is of no use to me.”

"This—" Sherlock's breath was stagnant, and he grabbed his golden hair vigorously, "So, I still can't help?"

"No, you can help." Richard said, "But instead of dismantling the clock, tell me the source of the clock. The case of the clock is made of Balas silver, so the maker of the clock should have more It is right to have more of this kind of metal - as long as you find the other party, then the problem can be solved.

Originally, I thought that I would contact the other party after the research was over, so as to save trouble. Now it seems that it is necessary to contact the other party. "

"Is that so?" Sherlock said with a sudden realization, and then said to himself, "Oh, I shouldn't have made up my mind in front of you, the more active I am, the more stupid I feel, maybe I have a brain Just to look taller."

Li Cha glanced at Sherlock, ignored him, and said, "Tell me the source of the clock."

"Okay." Sherlock said, "I got this clock from a friend, um, an old friend - this old, not because we have known each other for a long time, but because he is very old, and we are I have met friends once or twice, so they are old friends..."

...

After half a sound.

Richard walked out of Sherlock's courtyard.

Sherlock sent Li Cha out, and as he walked, he asked in confirmation: "Are you really going to find the other party?"

"if not?"

"Then let me remind you, the other party is very weird and dangerous, and he doesn't like to meet strangers. When I met him for the first time, I was almost bitten by a dog. You...you better be careful."

"I will." Richard said.

"By the way, there's that one... Balas Silver, do you still need me to help you find it?"

"Keep looking." Li Cha thought for a while, "It's hard to say whether you can get Balas silver from the other party. Even if you get it, it may not be enough. If you help find it, nothing bad will happen."

"Okay, then wrap it on me!" Sherlock patted his chest, but it turned out to be a little hard, and he couldn't help coughing, and said goodbye while coughing, "cough cough... then...cough cough... …goodbye."

"Goodbye." Richard said, waved to Sherlock who couldn't look directly at him, and walked away.

...

noon.

In the north of Florence City, there is a remote alley called "Rotten Pine".

Because of the narrowness of this alley and the high walls of the courtyard, the sunlight hardly shines in, so it looks dark and humid. The corners are covered with moss, and mushrooms are popping up in clusters. The atmosphere is weird. Except for the people who live in the alley, almost no one comes here.

Li Cha came here.
