Chapter 510: Watchmaker

Sherlock looked down at what Richard had given him.

I saw that the thing was the size of an egg, with a metal shell, and the surface was extremely smooth, like an exquisite artwork.There is a gap on the surface that looks like it can be opened.

With a "click", Sherlock opened it, and saw a glass dial inside, and three hands of different lengths moving under the skin.

The shortest pointer is the slowest and hardly visible.

A pointer that is not short or long can be seen walking slowly.

The longest slender pointer is just a blink of an eye.

"Click click..."

The pointer continued to make a clear and pleasant sound.

What Richard gave Shylock was a pocket watch.In the Middle Ages where the current precise time has not yet been fully promoted, it is considered a fresh object. Richard thinks Sherlock is definitely interested in collecting.

However, Sherlock's reaction was somewhat different from Richard's imagination.

Sherlock stared at the dial of the pocket watch and said, "My dear friend Richard, are you going to give this thing to me, and then go to my warehouse to find something? Hey, this is in line with Your temperament, and your thing is obviously more valuable than what you need. But..."

At the end, Sherlock hesitated slightly.

"But what? Is there any problem? Don't you like it?" Richard asked.

"No," Sherlock shook his head. "It's not that I don't like it, it's just... I already have a similar collection, so I don't need you anymore. Of course, what kind of Balas silver, if you find it, you It can still be taken away, after all we are friends."

"Wait!" Li Cha raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Sherlock and asked, "You said... Do you already have a similar collection?"

"Yes." Sherlock nodded.

Richard Silence: "..." This silence is not silent, but thinking about some things quickly.

The pocket watch is not a simple creation, and its technological content is not low.On the earth, it was only after the Middle Ages that the great nautical stage developed, because in the boundless ocean, people need to use a more accurate clock to determine their specific location, so that they can adjust their routes in time to prevent lost air.

In the current wizard-like world of the Middle Ages, although it cannot be said that there must be no such thing, as far as he understands, it is not available on the market. Where did Shylock get a similar collection?

Turning his head to look at Sherlock, Richard said, "Can I see your collection?"

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you want to take it away, my dear friend." Sherlock said generously, turning his head to the side door and shouting, "Lucia!"

The maid's dressed Lucia quickly came out of the wicket. At this time, the blush had not completely faded. She looked at Shylock slightly and asked, "Xia...Mr. Shylock, what is the matter?"

"Well, Mr. Richard is more interested in one of my collections, that is, the round box that I'll put in the bedroom, and it will'pop and pop', do you have an impression? Bring her over, will you? Sherlock looked at Lucia and smiled.

Lucia frowned, as if remembering, and then nodded: "Okay." Running quickly into the wicket.

Soon Lucia ran out and took a slap-sized object to Sherlock.

Sherlock pointed at Richard, and Lucia immediately handed it over to Richard.

Richard took it and carefully observed it.

I saw the collection of Sherlock, the shell is silver-white, with a metallic luster, very beautiful, with a dial and pointer in the middle, quite artistic, but it is slightly different from the pocket watch in his hand. of.

The pocket watch is a pocket watch, the one in your hand is... a small clock-the volume is two times larger than the pocket watch, and the three hands are hour, minute and second, simplified into two hour and minute hands, the accuracy is somewhat poor, and the error of one minute is one second About a day, a day may be more than ten minutes.

But it is undeniable that you can really regard the pocket watch and the thing in your hands as the same type-the technology inside may be a lot worse. The lack of parts such as escapement wheels and limit nails results in insufficient accuracy, but the technology is The same generation-like flintlocks and automatic rifles are very different, but they are all hot weapons.

Richard suddenly became curious about the maker of this small timepiece, and wanted to make contact with the other party to see what the other party's identity is and how to make such a thing beyond the times.

What he can make is based on the wisdom accumulated by more than 100 billion people who once existed on earth. What does the other party rely on?

However, he quickly suppressed this idea. After all, his main purpose today is to get the metal palladium to complete the ongoing research. This kind of "extra-node growth" thing is better to deal with after completing the research.

Make sure to pay attention, Richard handed the collection to the girl Lucia, then took the color paintings from the auction from her arms and handed it to Sherlock: "Your collection is indeed similar to what I gave you. Since you don’t need two similar collectibles, then you can accept this thing-a painting made with the heart of the king, after all, I don’t like to take things in vain."

"Painting?" Sherlock's eyes flickered. While returning the pocket watch to Richard, he took the scroll from Richard's hand and opened it and looked at it a few times. "A picture of hell, this is more in line with mine. Taste, you can hang it in the study. But what do you mean, painted with the king’s heart, what does it mean?"

"It means that its dyes are special..." Richard briefly said what the host at the auction said, "On the east coast, there is a Lisburn Island, and there is a Kingdom of Egypt... "

After listening to Richard’s story, Sherlock’s expression became brighter, and he looked back at the words in his hand, his eyes glowed strangely, and his mouth sighed, "It’s awesome, paintings made with corpses! Words, you should just put This thing is taken out, this is really a meaningful collection! I have a collection, I decided to put it in the deepest part of the warehouse!"

"you sure?"

"Of course!" Shylock shouted, not at all perfunctory. "I have so many things in my collection, but I have never had such a special collection.

For me, this is not a simple painting, but a great art, art!

Use the heart of the king to draw the picture of hell. Gee, I seem to really hear the wailing of the soul in hell.Equal to death, the king is like this, it is simply the best explanation for hell.

Wow, I can't wait, I'm going to the warehouse, put it away, and the province accidentally broke it."

The more excited the more, the next moment Sherlock stepped out of the door and Richard had to keep up.
