These Kasenlik people are Kasenlik's diplomatic civil servants stationed in Tobesk. After being invited to attend the Queen's birthday party, Bishop Owen stopped him, and wanted to ask them about the activities held in the Diocese of Willendale, the capital of Carsonrick, during this year's Holy Prayer.
Both sides were very happy to have this conversation, but because there were not enough translators, Priest Augustus brought Laishard to act as an interpreter.
The city of Willendale in the United Kingdom of Carson Rick is the core of the southern part of the Old World in a general sense. Very similar to Tobesk, Willendale also firmly controls the entire United Kingdom as a political, economic and cultural center.
Although the capitals of the two countries are one north and one south, they are roughly located in the west of the old continent. Priest Augustus spoke some Carson Riek when he visited Willendale when he was young.
After talking with these foreigners for too long, the king's attendants rushed over and said that King Larousse III wanted to see these diplomatic envoys.
Generally speaking, the king's meeting with diplomatic officials requires advance notice and preparations. Such an abrupt call is really puzzling. But no matter what, these Kasenlik people couldn't refuse, so they bid farewell to the group of Dawn Church.
Shad originally wanted to talk to Priest Augustus about the devil again, but the Church of Dawn had more things to do tonight.
They soon found Bishop Nelson of the Church of Peace in the diocese and Rev. John Wood of the Church of Creation in the area. They discussed together at the long dining table in the courtyard about the missionary scope of the Church of the Five Gods in the diocese.
"Why didn't the bishop who created the church come?"
This kind of conversation, Xia De only needs to listen from the sidelines, so he asked Priest Augustus in a low voice.
But before Bishop Augustus spoke, a voice came from behind:
"Bishop Rivester contracted the flu and recuperated in the church. He is also 65 years old this year, but he can't stand such a torment."
Xia De turned around, and saw behind him a tall man with a top hat, a monocle over his right eye, and white gloves on his hands. He looked to be in his forties, with short, level black hair, and a brass ring on his right ear:
"Monsieur Surrey Pirot."
He introduced himself, then held out his right hand to Shad.
Xia De was taken aback for a moment, then immediately shook it up. However, he immediately felt that what he was holding was not a human hand, and the glove was obviously metal.
"Mr. Hamilton of Rajed, I've heard of you. The game just now was very good. It's a pity I didn't see it on the second floor."
The gentleman said kindly, the voice next to his ear has given a hint:
[Thirteen-ring warlock, if there is no accident, this is the "steel right hand" that created the church. 】
Xia De swears that he is trying to control his expression and make himself look puzzled:
"Greetings, Monsieur Pirot, are you the priest who created the Church?"
Mr. Pirot wore a ball-suit instead of a gown, and the coat was not the usual black but red, which was fashionable.
"Yes, Xia De, let me introduce."
Priest Augustus was also very surprised. Although he is not a ring magician of the church, he has known this gentleman in the Tobesk parish for many years:
"Mr. Sarri Pirot, the head of the security team of the Church of Creation and Destruction in this diocese. This gentleman was on a business trip a few days ago, and he should have just returned to Tobesk."
"Yes, Priest Augustus, long time no see."
M. Pirot smiled and held out his hand to the priest:
"You still look so healthy, but I heard that you will also be arranged to go out for errands?"
"Yes, yes, I am so old, and the church will arrange for me to go on a business trip to the northern foot of Mount Xical."
The priest said half complaining, Shad was a little surprised, he hadn't heard that Priest Augustus was leaving Tobesk.
"It's the decision just made by the Holy See to dispatch the old priests of various dioceses to do something in rural towns. Lat, this is a good job, it's a free autumn trip."
Bishop Owen also participated in the conversation. He was holding a glass of wine, and it seemed that the conversation with the heretics just now was not going well:
"Pyrot, back to Tobesk? How is that now?"
"Although it's not as smooth as expected, there is probably no problem. It's just that the church is still worried that thieves will break in at the last minute, so they let me take a two-day temporary leave, and then concentrate on finishing the final finishing touch."
The thirteen-ring warlock said this, he probably thought that Xia De could not understand, but Xia De understood it completely.
"The work of the church is really hard."
The young detective sighed half-truthfully.
"Probably not harder than a detective?"
Bishop Owen said with a smile:
"A few days ago, I met with President Stan of the Prophet Association because of some things, but I heard that you were still waiting on the street in the evening to obtain information."
This refers to what happened last Saturday when Xia De was about to meet with Rezia, and President Stan made a prophecy for Xia De at that time.
"After that, I'm going to introduce you to business."
Bishop Owen said with a smile, he was older than Priest Augustus, and he was still an ordinary person, but he looked very good.
"Of course, I can give them a very cheap price."
Xia De responded, and then asked the thirteen-ring warlock beside him pretending to be curious:
"Mr. Pirot, I happened to meet you. I actually want to ask you something, about steam machinery."
The Church of Creation and Destruction is one of the promoters of the steam revolution, standing first in the surging trend of the times. Among the churches of the five gods in the material world, the number of believers who actually created the church is the largest.
Because this is the era of steam, some people even joked that [Church of Creation and Destruction] could be renamed [Church of Steam].
"Excuse me."
Mr. Pirot looked at Shad with interest.
"It's like this."
Xia De organizes the language. He came to this world as a foreigner. Although he supported himself and the cat by being a detective, there will be more places that need money in the future, so he always wants to use the knowledge of his hometown to do something. What. But in this era of steam, there are not many opportunities left for him, so he wants to explore the most cutting-edge steam technology:
"I have some good ideas recently. May I ask, have you heard of the Church of Creation and Mechanics? It is completely made up of gears, levers, and springs, relying on gear sets to store numbers, and gear sets to store numbers..."
Xia De was trying his best to explain his thoughts, when suddenly a loud whistle sounded, piercing the night sky where fireworks were still set off. Shad stopped his words, and looked in the direction of the main building of the Yordle Palace together with everyone in the courtyard.
The slightly sharp whistle came from behind the building.
"A guard post at Yodle Palace."
Bishop Owen introduced, but is not very worried:
"One whistle is only a small problem. A few days ago, when Sachs Cavendish broke in with a gun, the royal guard blew three whistles, which is a big problem."
"Sorry, I think I'm going to check on the situation."
Mr. Pirot said embarrassedly, patted Shad on the shoulder, and walked quickly along the long table to the building behind everyone. And the ring warlock who created the church left temporarily, and Xia De naturally did not have the opportunity to continue asking questions.
"I don't know if a machine similar to the difference engine has been invented in this world."
He stood at the long dining table with Priest Augustus, looking up at the gorgeous fireworks in the sky.
[Outlander, what is a "difference engine"? 】
The whisper of "her" suddenly sounded in the ear, this is one of the few situations where "she" took the initiative to ask Xia De a question.
"Difference engine."
The guests in the courtyard returned to normal, and no one cared too much about the whistle just now.
"How could there be no difference engine in the age of steam? It is a metal material, an automatic mathematical processing tool. No, it is not simple addition and subtraction, but a machine that can handle complex functions and replace the human brain for complex mathematical analysis and calculation. .”
Xia De replied very leisurely in his heart, while Priest Augustus guessed how much these fireworks were worth in gold pounds, and he seemed to want to do the same at the New Year's Eve next year.
"In my hometown, due to the limitation of materials, the difference engine in the steam era is just a concept. But in this world, the development of the steam industry has driven material science to embark on a path that has never been realized in my hometown. In this world, it is possible to create a difference engine .”
The sea of stars is vast, because the lights of civilization are not enough to illuminate the entire sky at night, so outsiders can see the shining pictures of stars that have never been seen before:
"Mathematics is the foundation of natural science. Once the automatic calculation of the difference machine is realized, this era will become more exciting than we imagined. This era of development can develop for a longer time, and the flame of civilization will continue even longer. long."
【oh? 】
She sighed softly in his ear.
"But unfortunately, judging from the current situation, people in this world have not yet conceived and manufactured this kind of machine. Therefore, if I can provide basic design ideas and function algorithms, and even participate in the manufacture of the machine, it will be great. Speaking of money and fame in the real sense, at least I, a foreigner~www.mtlnovel.com~ can really leave a mark in this world.”
【very nice. 】
"She" praised softly in her ear, and Xia De also walked out of the scene he imagined, intending to enjoy the rest of the banquet.
He didn't spend too much time with Priest, who seemed to have a lot going on.
Thinking of going to the card game upstairs to have a look, and dance with Luvia after she finished her work, Xia De turned and walked towards the open door of the building.
Just two steps away, a slightly familiar figure walked over with a wine glass. He is the youngest son of Earl Dimock's family, that is, the noble youth who was scared by Shade with the [Spear of Kindness] in front of his friends a few hours ago.
