Chapter 261: Three Conditions (Ai)
"I don't know where Mr. Kenobi saw that I didn't have a talent for mechanical engineering, and in short, he didn't want to take me as an apprentice. Thankfully, I'm too young to do something that grown-ups can't use - can you guess what, little one?" Barnett asked with a wink at Alfie.
"Young, is it a trick?" Alfie guessed.
"The little guy is really smart. Barnett sighed and continued, "That's right, it's a trick." I was holding the thighs of the mechanical armor and not letting go. Even though Mr. Kenobi was flying high in the air with his mechanical armor, I just wouldn't let go. Little one, you must not have experienced the feeling of being in the sky, the white clouds are passing by you, and the cold wind is blowing so hard that you can't open your eyes at all, and if you let go, you will fall to pieces......
"Maybe it was my sincerity that moved Mr. Kenobi, or maybe Mr. Kenobi had more important things to do, and he didn't want to continue to entangle with me, and finally Mr. Kenobi put forward three conditions, as long as I did it, Kenobi would take me as an apprentice. Barnett said with great nostalgia, even the bottle in his hand had been emptied, and the rum had flowed all over the ground.
"What three conditions?" asked Rebecca, impatiently, as it did look like Kenobi's style.
"The first condition is courage and perseverance. Barnett said as if awakened by Rebecca, taking a long sip of rum.
"It's really a release of water, doesn't this show that you have met the first condition? It means that he has the heart to take you as an apprentice. Alfie muttered.
"You're right. At that time, after Mr. Kenobi announced the first condition, he inexplicably said that I had met it. Unfortunately, I was too young to understand what he meant right away. If only I were half as smart as you. Barnett had a look of remorse on his face, "Mr. Kenobi said that after I met the first condition, he took me away from my people and into Ingeniel's laboratory. ”
"And what about the second condition?" Rebecca asked.
"The second condition was that he asked me to build 100,000 parts for him. Barnett replied.
"100,000 parts, how old were you then?" exclaimed Rebecca.
"Fourteen or fifteen? Barnett replied with a shake of his head.
"He's a nasty guy, but that's his style. Rebecca said.
"You're wrong, Rebecca, I guess Mr. Kenobi is trying to hone Barnett's blacksmithing skills and test his patience. Alfie said.
"That's exactly what Mr. Kenobi said to me when I finally finished the 100,000 parts a few years later. Barnett excitedly pointed at Alfie and said, this little guy is simply a god, guessing exactly what Kenobi is thinking.
"You've been in Ingnier's lab for the past ten years?" Rebecca asked, thinking of Ingnier's lab and thinking of that hateful dwarf Dobby.
"Yes, during those ten years, I saw with my own eyes that Mr. Kenobi had built countless fantastic machines with his own hands. It's a treasure trove of mechanical engineering. Barnett's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help himself with excitement at the mention of those golden years for him.
"It's a pity that it's been ruined by that guy Dobby. Alfie muttered quietly.
"What did you say?" Alfie spoke in a very low voice, and Barnett, who was already a little drunk, did not hear clearly.
"Nothing, but what about the third condition?" Alfie didn't continue the conversation, if Barnett knew the current state of the lab, who knew what the drunkard would do.
"The third condition is to find this Miss Etheline. Barnett pointed at Rebecca.
"Tell me more about what he told you at the time. Alfie asked.
"That day, when I finally finished the 100,000th part, I couldn't wait to go to Mr. Kenobi's room to report the good news. A smile tugged at Barnett's lips, "Mr. Kenobi is in the room sipping rum while showing a video of a young girl playing." ”
......
"Mr. Kenobi, I'm finally done with the 100,000th part!" Barnett has always referred to him as a teacher, even though he has not yet been officially recognized by Kenobi.
"That's great news, especially on a special day like today," Kenobi's eyes were a little red, and he took a sip of a bottle of rum in his hand and handed it to Barnett, "You can celebrate with a sip too." ”
Barnett never dared to disobey the teacher's orders, and after taking a sip of the bottle, he immediately fell in love with the taste.
Kenobi didn't speak, and Barnett didn't dare to say much, and the two of them took a sip of you, and it didn't take ten bottles of rum to eat. The two of them had already begun to get drunk and their eyes were hazy.
"Old, teacher. You've seen this video several times, who is that beautiful woman on it?"
"That's, that's your teacher's ......."
"Teacher, teacher, why have I never heard you mention it?"
"Because I lost her. Ten years ago today, I blamed me for being careless...... "Kenobi said bitterly.
"Release, rest assured, I will definitely find and find the teacher for you!" Barnett patted his chest and promised.
"Then, then please, this is the third and third conditions. Kenobi and Barnett put their shoulders on their backs.
......
Rebecca burst into tears again after listening to Barnett's retelling, and Kenobi really always had her in his heart.
"When I woke up that day, I left Ingnier's lab and set out on a journey to find you. In order to find it convenient, I specially asked Mr. Kenobi to make me a projection ball, which stored the pictures about you. Barnett pulled a small ball from his bosom and stroked it gently.
"I naively thought that you should live in human society, so I took this projection ball to the Iliad Empire, saw people showing people, and asked if they had seen the people in the video. Barnett smiled wryly.
"The energy of the projection ball was quickly depleted by me, but I didn't find any valuable clues, the only thing I can confirm is that there is a nobleman who said that he once saw the exact same person, and that person is Princess Ethleine, who has been missing for ten years, so I finally know your name, don't I?" Barnett shook the projection ball in his hand, "The value of this projection ball is limited to that. ”
Alfie took the projection ball from Barnett's hand, and after tinkering for a while, she gently pressed the button on it, and a projection was sent out from the projection ball, and a girl who looked like Rebecca appeared in the image: under the blue sky like a jewel, on the green grass, a girl in a gorgeous costume sang and danced, and a graceful and luxurious temperament jumped out of her gestures......
