After calling the player

==================

The members sent by Eric to participate in the trade fair naturally returned with full rewards.

Eric can't wait to see what they brought back - the most important thing is the ring of Emperor Usain, but he has other things to solve first, after all, there are two more people who came back with Vincent and the others. "outsider".

One was their old acquaintance, the goblin Dryden.

The other was a dwarf mechanic whom Dryden called "Master Mark."

Dryden accompanied this Master Mark because he was worried.

He was worried about the force value of the members sent out by their tribe, not because they thought they were too weak and encountered danger on the way, but because he was afraid that they couldn't help but beat Master Mark to death halfway.

"Your Majesty Eric, I'm really sorry. Master Mark is one of the three most powerful technicians in our Mojin Alliance. This time he is determined to come over, and we can't stop him." Once he arrived at the tribe, Dryden said I came to see Eric, and I bowed and apologized, but inside and outside the words still revealed the meaning of keeping this dwarf.

Eric didn't refuse immediately, but was weighing the pros and cons.

"Master Mark is usually outspoken. Please don't blame him for this. He is just too simple. He always focuses on studying mechanical engineering and rarely deals with other creatures."

This doesn't matter, a master's outstanding skills are enough to make up for his flaws in character.

"Master Mark doesn't have any special preferences for food, he's not picky, he just likes sweet things."

The taste is the same as theirs, which is more convenient, just let humans prepare one more food every day.

"Master Mark has bad legs and feet, so he made a walking machine by himself, and he would hardly get out of that machine on weekdays. The machine can still be unfolded, and it is his studio when it is unfolded. Various tools and raw materials are available. Yes, there are also beds for sleeping, Master Mark doesn’t like to use things prepared by others, so you just need to point him to an open space.”

This is worry-free, even if a dwarf adds his machine and his odds and ends, it shouldn't take up much space.

"Master Mark has another problem, that is, he can't recognize faces. He memorizes other creatures in terms of hairstyle, hair color, beard style, beard length, etc., so he can easily recognize people wrongly. Especially once there are these aspects Similar creatures, or someone who changed his shape on a whim, he will most likely recognize it wrong."

This problem is worse than Aaron's. Aaron just can't distinguish the pheromones, but he can still recognize the face. Mark's level is almost the same as that of the players. They still can't tell the Dragonfly brothers apart.

"Master Mark is willing to pay 500 gold coins per month as land rent, food expenses and research fees. He hopes to stay in your tribe temporarily and study the small wooden box. He has no interest in the contents, just wants to Study the mechanism outside, it is said that the wooden box outside that cannot be opened is the creation of the God of Mechanics they believe in."

"These are all fine." Eric thought about it seriously. He didn't mind having a dwarf technician temporarily in the tribe, especially if the other party was still willing to give money. He only had one question, "He will repair the igniter?" And the magic lamp?"

The smile on Dryden's face froze for a moment before he said, "Master Mark's ability is naturally very powerful."

That is, it will be repaired, and Eric is satisfied.

After Mark lives in, there is always a way to ask him to help. In the future, if the mechanical alchemy products are broken, someone will repair them.

Eric and Dryden chatted for a while, but the main character of their conversation, the dwarf Mark, did not come to them for a long time.

When Mark entered the cave before, he suddenly had a sudden inspiration and said that he wanted to modify his walking machine. Then, before Dryden had any reaction, he took out the tools and started working in full swing.

Thanks to the small size of the dwarf and the small walking machine, Eric did not let the guards lift him and his machine aside.

Dryden, who knew Mark's temper well, had no choice but thought that he had to greet the clan master in advance with his character, so he left Mark at the safe door and went to find Eric first.

With systematic monitoring, Eric can know every move of Mark. He is very interested in the dwarf and his walking machine. He heard from the system that the dwarf changed the chassis of his walking machine from four wheels to eight spider legs, and then He stopped moving suddenly as he passed the Commercial Plaza.

Eric waited for a long time and didn't see any movement from him, so he took Dryden to find him.

Mark was quietly looking up at the statue of the God of Commerce carved by the stonemason, his face full of wonder.

Now the statue was in its infancy, and anyone could tell that the statue had a boxy head, body, and six arms.

It’s just that many details are not yet in place. The mason has only completed his square head and a mechanical arm, and is now carving another mechanical arm.

He is so absorbed in his work that he doesn't even know that other creatures are watching.

After Eric and Dryden arrived, they looked at it for a while, then patted Mark on the shoulder, motioning him to talk to the side, so as not to disturb the stonemason.

Dryden was the first to speak: "Master Mark, I have already told His Majesty Eric, and His Majesty Eric has agreed for you to stay."

"Great!" Mark cheered, "Thank you for your help, Kingsley."

Dryden was expressionless: "Master Mark, I am Dryden, not Kingsley. I just lost a little hair recently."

"Ah, haha, sorry." Mark laughed dryly twice, looking very embarrassed.

This problem seems to be a little more serious than what you said, Eric glanced at Dryden.

Small problem, small problem, Dryden looked back without guilt.

When Mark looked around in embarrassment, he saw the statue again, and immediately became excited, and said to Eric: "You also worship the God of Mechanics!"

"Huh?" Eric was a little dazed.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Mark was also confused. He pointed carefully at the statue that the stonemason was carving, and asked, "Isn't that the statue of the God of Mechanics?"

Eric replied calmly: "No, that's the statue of the God of Commerce."

Mark moved his butt, and huddled up in his seat pitifully: "I'm sorry, I thought it was the God of Mechanics, it's so similar."

"It's okay." Eric is not really a believer in the god of business, and he would drag Mark out angrily and beat him up. He just asked curiously, "Is it really similar? Your god of machinery What does it look like?"

Eric couldn't believe it. The design drawings given by the system are so special, can they match the characteristics of other gods?

Mark nodded frantically: "It's really similar. The God of Mechanics also has a square face and six arms."

Eric shook his head in his heart. It seems that this dwarf is not only face-blind, he can't even remember the characteristics of the gods he believes in.

Can the face of the Mechanic God be as square as the face of a statue?

Can the six arms of the mechanical voice be as distinctive as the six mechanical arms of the statue?

But speaking of it, it seems that the statues of several gods have six arms. I don’t know what’s the point. Will the battle be more powerful?

Eric continued to ask curiously: "The god of commerce holds a balance that symbolizes fairness in one hand, and a sheepskin scroll that symbolizes a contract in the other. Does your god of machinery hold things in his hands?"

Speaking of this, Mark became even more excited: "Yes, yes, the God of Mechanics holds different things in each hand. He always holds a book that symbolizes wisdom in one hand, and a claw hammer that symbolizes strength in the other. , with scissors in one hand symbolizing dexterity, a gear wheel symbolizing precision in the other hand, a wrench symbolizing unity in the other hand, and a flat-blade screwdriver symbolizing inspiration in the last hand.”

"That's it." Eric imagined, some of these symbols he can understand, some he can't understand, it may involve some history or legend of the dwarf, this can be gradually understood in the future.

He was thinking about whether to give the god of commerce a full hand, so that he would not lose in momentum compared with the statues of other gods.

But Eric thought for a while and didn't think of other business-related things, and the system didn't have any good suggestions. He couldn't just take gold coins, silver coins and copper coins, right?Even so, it's still one item short.

Eric finally took Mark to the back of the four basic pools, next to the place where he usually stayed the longest, and asked him to set up his studio here.

Mark can study the small wooden box here, and Eric can see him when he turns his head, so he feels more at ease.

Anyway, Eric bought a photo ball this time, and the live projection of the system can also be disguised as a matching projection ball in the future, which will not arouse Mark's suspicion.

When the second test starts, Eric will send bugs to guard the area from the four basic pools to prevent players from running around, and it will be quieter here.

To be honest, they talked for so long, Eric still didn't know what Mark looked like.

He wears full-on goggles that cover the upper half of his face, revealing only a neatly trimmed mustache and light purple hair and beard.

Mark has been sitting in the walking machine and has not come out. It is impossible to estimate how tall he is, but the height of the walking machine is about 1 meters.

This is just right, Eric doesn't have to bow his head deliberately when talking to him.

His walking machine is very delicate. From the appearance, it looks like a metal box with eight legs that belong to a spider. The metal box is silver-gray, and the legs are brass-colored. Eric can't tell what it is just from the appearance. Metal.

The metal box is Mark's control room. There are many buttons with different colors and shapes, and there are several joysticks with red hats, which looks very complicated.

The walking machine moved quickly and steadily, and it didn't make a sound at all. Eric couldn't help but look at it several times along the way.

And when Mark operated this big guy to move, Eric didn't see how many movements he made. He used two joysticks in total, and only needed to move a few times when changing the direction. At other times, he could even use two hands None.

Eric can only sigh how powerful the dwarf is, and he can't imagine what the other buttons are for.

Unexpectedly, the more powerful is yet to come.
