    Hugo walked on the stone road in the aristocratic district with his hands in the pockets of his overalls. He picked a rose from the wall of a roadside villa and put it in his mouth. "Locke, you know? The so-called aristocrats mean that everything they buy is expensive."  Those people. Of course they make money very quickly," Hugo said to Locke, who was holding the dry cleaning machine behind him.  "Look! Hugo, it's Winnie!" Locke pushed the washing machine into Hugo's arms, snatched the rose from Hugo's mouth, took a few steps forward and knelt down on one knee in front of a girl in a maid uniform.  .  "Beautiful lady, my name is Locke II, and I am a noble knight. Can you tell me your name?" Locke said as he handed over the flower in his hand.  Winnie smiled bitterly and took the flower from Locke's hand, feeling that her hands were slippery and a bit disgusting.  "Locke, you are a good person" Winnie shook her head and ran away quickly.  "Hugo! Do you know? How many chivalric novels have I read for today? Do you feel that I am very romantic?" Locke danced excitedly.  "His Royal Highness Locke II, what you lack is not the appearance of a noble, you do not have the heart of a noble." Hugo felt that he was powerless in this matter.  The season when civilian children in Dunwall City can develop pure love is when they are 12 or 3 years old and receive basic education in school - in this era of fast-turning mechanical gears, children mature very quickly.  After that, girls with poor looks were still chased by passionate young people, and those with outstanding looks generally went into the aristocratic area.  Unfortunately, a heart filled with enthusiasm is often no match for a pocket full of gold coins.  "Locke, do you know? The so-called good people are those who are sincere in their dealings with others. It's a pity that they make money very slowly." Hugo sighed as he looked at the headdress that Winnie left with. Locke spent 20 silver coins to change it.  A good man came, although Locke also borrowed the 20 silver coins from him.  "Hugoyou have never loved, you don't understand!" Locke was still full of joy.  Hugo curled his lips, put the washing and drying machine back into Locke's arms, and knocked on the door of the villa next to him. The maid who opened the door opened the door to Hugo and asked them to go into the hall and wait.  Not long after, a fat man in gorgeous clothes walked towards Hugo with a smile.  "Oh! Master Eugene, I haven't seen you for half a month, and your face has become more rosy." Hugo saluted Eugene.  "Hugo, what did you bring this time?" Eugene looked excited, and rubbed his two fat palms together from time to time.  "Fully automatic magic washing machine! My lord, it is absolutely a noble experience, and it only costs 10 gold coins!" "I have someone to help me wash my clothes, Hugo, this is of no use to me, you go, I will have guests later."  Eugene was obviously a little unhappy. He didn't have an attack because Hugo's previous inventions had earned him a lot of face.  "This is not an ordinary washing machine, it is a dry cleaning machine! The Queen does not have such enjoyment, no!" Hugo said lightly, and then explained to him the working principle of the washing machine.  Eugene was stunned for a moment, took a few steps left and right, and rubbed his hands.  "Bought, 10 gold coins. Let's go quickly. I have an important guest today. If he sees you, it will damage my face." Eugene took out ten gold coins and gave them to Hugo. He muttered again, "Nobles, how can you talk to commoners?"  We're going back and forth" Locke shouted in disbelief as soon as he followed him out: "Hugo, how could there be such a stupid person?" "Winnie also hopes that you can be stupid, but it's a pity that you can't afford it."  It was because I borrowed 20 silver coins from Hugo that I started helping Hugo.  "Look, Hugo, the carriage!" Locke was obviously attracted by other things.  A carriage with a peaked hat painted on its body passed by the two of them and stopped at the door of Eugene's house. An old man with a goatee got out of the car wearing a gray robe and holding a strange wooden stick in his hand.  .  After a while, I saw Eugene coming to the door to greet him in person.  "I haven't seen a carriage for a long time. Nowadays, we usually use magic vehicles. Maybe it's a big retro noble." Hugo shrugged, patted Locke and signaled Locke to leave.  "Hugo, what is a retro style?" "People who like to buy things that were popular in the past at big prices." This is the knowledge he learned in the study of old Hugo.  "I understand, he must be a noble among nobles." Locke thought thoughtfully.  "This sentence is somewhat interesting." Hugo felt that Locke might have had an idea.  "I also think that if you spend a lot of money to buy things that were popular in the past, you are more stupid than the average noble! That is the noble among the nobles." "" Hugo felt that he was also helpful in this matter.  Not Locke.  Gavin is a magician, so??With the widespread use of mana ores over the past few hundred years, elemental power has gradually regained its activity.  Although now he can only light a cigar, add some water to wipe his eyes, and so on.  But you have to know how important these life skills are for an old man who wants to enjoy his old age.  Now he raised his hand and turned into a small spark to help Eugene light a cigar.  "Oh, God! This is the first time I have seen such a miracle! Sir Gavin, you are amazing!" Looking at Eugene with an adoring look on his face, Gavin proudly lit a cigarette for himself.  No matter how the times change, magicians are always rare.  Gavin is a professor at the Copernicus Academy and was invited by Lord Richard to come to Dunwall City for a vacation - spreading money is always the easiest way to make a noble appear more noble.  So Eugene praised the city lord's wisdom and wisdom and also spent some money to invite Gavin to stay at his house for a few days.  But the simplest way often means little effectiveness, so Eugene has been worrying about how to package himself more aristocratic recently.  Hugo's words, "The Queen doesn't have such enjoyment, no!" undoubtedly gave him infinite inspiration - there are some things that money can't buy, such as romantic love stories and long-standing family history.  "It's a pity that Eugene has neither of these. I don't think an old man would be interested in his romantic love story.  In fact, his wife was also bought in exchange for money - some people need aristocratic blood, others need gold coins.  Unlike magicians - no matter how the times change, there are always a lot of declining nobles.  But there are dry cleaning machines in Eugene!  "The queen doesn't have such enjoyment!" Eugene couldn't help but feel lustful again.  "Master Eugene, what kind of good thing do you want me to show you?" Gavin looked at Eugene with a silly smile on his face, and suddenly thought that his money might have been collected by mistake - he was here to enjoy it.  Not here to hang out with a stupid fat guy.  ¡°For the sake of the gold coins.¡± Gavin convinced himself.  "Oh, Lord Gavin, please look here." Eugene led Gavin to the washing machine.  "Huh? Master Eugene, I guess this is a washing machine. Right?" Gavin suppressed his displeasure and kept talking about gold coins to himself.  "Sir Gavin, even though you have a keen eye, you still can't see the mystery of this washing machine." Eugene looked very proud.  "With it, you can enjoy the treatment that even the Queen cannot enjoy!" Eugene raised his voice to show off to Gavin, taking the dirty clothes prepared by the servant and throwing them into the washing machine.  "Oh, what is this!" Gavin felt obvious elemental fluctuations - elemental energy blocks generally used as mechanical energy will never have such fluctuations!  "Look, Lord Gavin," Eugene took out the clean clothes, "It's straight! You can wear it. There's only one in this world!" Eugene turned around and saw Gavin with a surprised look on his face.  What Gavin just felt was the sequential emission of water and fire elements without the sound of gears moving!  Magical talent may appear in anyone, but the person who can become a magician is definitely a smart person.  In this era where magic machines are gradually replacing magic itself, anyone who can have this idea of ??using elements is definitely a talent!  "Even if he can't become a magician, he can still become a magic mechanic!" Gavin felt that his status in the academy would be improved again.  You must know that magic mechanics are actually more popular than magicians now, even if magicians still have some magical magic symbols.  "Who invented this! Take me to him quickly!" Gavin grabbed Eugene's collar.  At this time, Hugo and Locke were looking for a kind of monster called slime near the elemental energy mine outside the city - Hugo asked Locke to help him not just to help move things.  Locke is the young man with the best physical fitness among the civilians in Dunwall City. He is very likely to become a professional soldier and serve his country.  Half a month ago, Hugo accidentally discovered a design drawing of the old Hugo. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the core design drawing of the magic rifle!  Dunwall City does not ban guns, but the guns in the hands of civilians only activate the fire and wind elements in the barrel to blow out small fireballs. The magic symbols used are extremely low-level, and of course their power is extremely limited.  The design concept of the gun on this design drawing is to allow the two elements of water and fire to collide in the barrel at a specific ratio to generate explosive energy to push the steel projectiles. This huge power directly made Hugo secretly make the finished product.  My shoulder hurt all day and all night, but this was definitely a genius design - the magic symbols it used were the same as those used by civilians on guns!  So Hugo was thinking about going out of town to get some slime gel back.  There are still many things that modern industry cannot manufacture, so the special products of Warcraft are still very precious.  For example, slime gel is the best shock-absorbing material in the world!  In this majorityIt was an era when magical elements were solidified and buried underground, and there was an extreme lack of magical elements in the atmosphere.  Even the most common monsters such as slimes can only be found in mining areas. After all, the evolution of monsters requires elemental power.  Although powerful monsters often stay deep in the mines, it might want to come out to bask in the sun today, so Hugo did not dare to wander out alone.  Only then did Winnie have 20 silver coins on her head.  "Good friends and silver coins are two different concepts." You can't blame Hugo for having this idea. He has grown up in this environment since he was a child.
