"Welcome, my house is a little messy, I hope you don't mind... Oh, my God." Before Charles Holt could finish his words, one of the inventors rushed into his house and began to read his aircraft manuscript.

"I'm so sorry, Lucas is just like this." Lukina (Lucino) said a little embarrassedly.

"Oh, it's okay, Miss Lukina." Although he said this, Charles Holt felt that Albert was right. Inventors did have some quirks.

"Lucas! Be more restrained. This is someone else's home." Alva couldn't stand it anymore. Lucas looked like a mental patient who had escaped from a mental asylum.

But Lucas doesn't care about that. To be exact, once he gets into the state, no one can pull him out, not even Alva.

After all, he was the man who, with his own strength, enabled everyone in the manor to escape for safety!

...................................................

Let Alva and Lucas handle the communication of inventions. Lucchino found a chair and sat in the corner with Albert. After all, Lucchino was only good at biological knowledge, and he only had a vague understanding of these mechanical aspects.

But Lucchino's silence made Albert feel very embarrassed.

Albert began to use his lifelong knowledge to find a place where he could chat with Miss Lukina.

However, with his limited knowledge, it was impossible for him to have any common topics with Miss Lukina.

Thinking of this, Albert wisely decided to remain silent. The reason was that if he dared to speak at this moment, he would undoubtedly be ridiculed and mocked by Miss Lukina.

You know, his unique accent is really weird.

Whenever Miss Lukina opened her red lips, every word she uttered was so precise, elegant and moving, as if it were the sound of nature; in contrast, the words that came out of Albert's mouth were like the fragmented notes played by a shabby old accordion, which was harsh and unbearable.

However, under the current circumstances, such a situation is reasonable. After all, those high-ranking people have plenty of leisure time and can devote themselves to the study of language use and elegant manners;

On the other hand, those people at the bottom of society are busy all day just to make enough food to eat. Their lives are already extremely difficult. How can we expect them to pay attention to whether the words they say are precise and elegant?

At this time, Lukina (Lucino) noticed Albert's silence and thought that he might be a shy person, so she took the initiative to break the deadlock and asked with a smile: "Mr. Albert, I heard that you have a great yearning for the sky, right?"

Albert was flattered and nodded quickly in response: "Yes, the vast blue sky really makes people yearn for it."

Lukina continued, "Yes, that's right. The vast expanse of blue sky and the white clouds floating above it are indeed very appealing."

This question hit Albert's point, and he began to talk enthusiastically about his desire for the blue sky.

Lukina listened attentively, asking some in-depth questions from time to time, and their conversation gradually became smooth and pleasant.

Finally, Albert said, "If I have the chance, I will be the first person to test Charles Holt's flying robot."

.................................................. .........

the other side,

Charles Holt had a pleasant conversation with Lucas and Alva, and the atmosphere was harmonious. This pleasant atmosphere made Charles Holt feel happy: it turned out that those so-called upper-class people were not all so unattainable!

"This is all really interesting!" Lucas said excitedly, holding Charles Holt's aircraft model tightly with excitement on his face. "Maybe we can make a little modification to it so that it can fly longer."

At this moment, Lukina (Lucino), who had been standing quietly in the corner listening to everyone's conversation, suddenly opened her voice and shouted: "Why not just provide some funding for it!"

“What?! Funding?!” Charles Holt was shocked when he heard this. He even began to doubt whether there was something wrong with his hearing or his brain was not functioning properly.

“Yes, that’s right! Next time I come, I will bring a new friend with me.” Lukina (Lucino) answered again affirmatively.

...................................................................

"If you want to sponsor him, that's your business and has nothing to do with me, but please don't involve me!" Norton shouted helplessly.

At this moment, he was full of confusion and couldn't understand why he was so unfortunate. A few days ago, he was just walking on the street as usual, but he was inexplicably attacked by a lion and a wolf. Fortunately, God blessed him and he escaped by chance.

However, fate did not seem to let him off. When he was seriously injured and could only lie in bed to recuperate, although he was cared for by everyone in the manor, his life was not too difficult.

But who would have thought that the guy named Luchino, who had only gone out for a stroll, would throw such a boring task on him when he came back! What on earth was going on? Was it really that God was deliberately trying to make things difficult for him? The more Norton thought about it, the more depressed he felt.

"Oh, Norton, I'm really helpless! If I could have a suitable identity, I would definitely support him personally without hesitation!" Luchino said with a distressed look. In fact, since he entered this manor, he has hardly stepped out of here. The outside world has long regarded him as a missing person and put him on the death list.

For a person who has been declared dead in the legal sense, if he suddenly appears in the world, it will undoubtedly cause a lot of inconvenience. Although it will not cause panic, it will inevitably cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

However, the situation is completely different for Norton. After all, he has a legitimate identity - as a close partner of Jose Baden, the owner of the North American gold mine and an important partner of the huge trade route, such an identity is simply too useful!

"I refuse!" Norton answered firmly. At this time, he was extremely wealthy, and the term "rich" was not enough to describe the magnitude of his wealth.

As for money, he can even freely knead the vast amount of gold he owns into a magnificent and beautiful golden house. However, please don't expect him to squander his precious money on things that are worthless and meaningless!

"I really don't understand what's so fascinating about the so-called flying machine. Can't Annie's hang glider satisfy your need for fun?"

Norton looked confused, frowned, and revealed a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone. He continued, "If you really want to fly, I can work with Jose Baden to find a way to get you a real plane. But why do you insist on building that kind of unreal flying machine? What benefits can it bring?"

What good is it to pursue something that is ethereal and unrealistic when there are superior and viable alternatives right before our eyes?

"Oh, Norton, you really don't understand!" Luchino said softly with a faint smile on his face: "For humans, they always need to walk on a path of continuous trial and error. Because only in this way can they gradually accumulate experience, learn lessons, and finally find the right direction."

Hearing this, Norton could not help but roll his eyes. He had no interest in the profound and obscure philosophical words that Lucino said.

"Alright, alright, got it! I'll find a way to pay it off, but this is only because we're so-called 'family'." Norton muttered unhappily.

Seeing this, Luchino immediately showed a grateful expression and responded sincerely: "Thank you so much, Norton! I will definitely remember this friendship in my heart. I owe you a huge favor! If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you double!"

"Okay, that's enough, that's enough, that's enough!" Norton couldn't stand it anymore and stuffed the donuts on the plate in front of him into Lucino's mouth. He really didn't want to listen to his endless chatter anymore.

........................................................

"Sure, it's easy for me." After hearing the whole story from Norton, Jose Badem agreed immediately. What's so difficult about it?

"Then I'll leave it to you. I'm leaving..." Norton said, turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Jose Badem.

Mr. Jose Baden looked at Norton, whose left arm was still bandaged. Norton noticed his gaze, so he said, "Don't worry, it's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious."

That's true. With Lydia's superb medical skills, this wound won't even leave a scar.

"I was just thinking that beating up an idiot wouldn't affect you standing at the investiture ceremony."

"what?"

..........................................................

Norton, like a statue, with a bewildered look on his face, boarded the train to London with Jose Baden beside him. The carriage was filled with a dull atmosphere, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.

In fact, there is an unfathomable political intention behind the intention of Her Majesty the Queen of England to grant Norton the title.

The reason is not complicated, but it is thought-provoking: Don't ignore the huge wealth that Norton now has! He controls the use and income rights of half of the unparalleled route in the world, and also owns an unprecedented and amazing giant gold mine.

At this moment, Norton was extremely wealthy, and his wealth was so huge that even the royal family had to pay attention to him. The motive for granting Norton the title was also quite straightforward - it was nothing more than an attempt to firmly bind Norton's money within the scope of the nobility.

After all, if one loses his noble status and exists only as an ordinary commoner, he will often encounter many unexpected and difficult troubles. In this way, by granting the title, he can both demonstrate the royal favor and effectively control Norton's wealth, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

However, even in this situation, Norton actually did not suffer any losses, and it can be said that he made a steady profit. After all, he has now successfully obtained the noble status and the powerful power that comes with it, and the vital shipping routes and gold mines are still firmly in his hands.

Norton, who was on the train at the moment, muttered helplessly: "But why do I always have this inexplicable and weird feeling?" His words were full of doubts and confusion.

Seeing this, Jose Baden patted Norton on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, when we return home, everyone will have to respectfully address you as 'Baron'!" These words seemed to make Norton feel a little happier.

Unexpectedly, Norton didn't buy it at all and responded unhappily: "Shut your stinky mouth!" At this moment, he really didn't want to hear another word from Jose Badem.

Jose Badem was not angry even though he was scolded. He was already used to Norton's temper.

He even said to himself, "You should change your tone. As a baron and a noble, you can't speak so rudely."

"If you keep talking nonsense, believe it or not, I'll strangle you to death?" Norton's tone and eyes showed that he would really do it.

"It's up to you. You can't strangle me to death with just one arm."

Norton still had a bandage on his left arm, and it would be difficult for him to strangle Jose Badem in his current state.
