This work lasted from afternoon to dusk.
Kaiden Barlow couldn't help if he stayed, and he would come to open the store early tomorrow morning, so Edgar Austin asked him to go back. Edgar Austin continued to use the lathe to process new parts. In the afternoon, he had welded all the damaged parts of the compass, and now he only needed to process the remaining one part, and the business was completed.
Quietly, Lola Gellar sat at Edgar Austin's desk and looked through the books that Edgar Austin had brought. She flipped through two professional books with light interest, and then picked up a book "The Will of Contemporary Universities". She was quite surprised. Authentic: "Mr. Edgar, are you still learning the language of will on your own?"
Edgar Austin responded casually, "Well, it's always good to learn more knowledge."
"Sir, SprechenSieDeutsch?"Lola Gellar suddenly said a word of will.
Edgar Austin's left eye twitched slightly, and the related Voluntary words, their phonetic symbols and grammar suddenly appeared in his mind. It was very strange. This was the first time he heard someone speak Will Language, but he understood what Lola Gellar said. What Lola Gellar said was - Sir, can you speak the language of will?
"Sir, SprechenSieDeutsch?"Lola Gellar repeated this sentence with a hint of provocation and questioning in his tone. Apparently, she didn't believe that a master welder could understand Willis.
Edgar Austin thought of a sentence in his mind. There was no book in front of him, but the Voluntary words flashed in his left eye, and the relevant grammar and phonetic symbols emerged in his mind. Then, these words were combined into sentence. This is a very complex and wonderful process, but it only takes a few seconds.
A smile appeared on Edgar Austin's lips, and he said: "Miss, Ichkann Deutsch, aberichsprechenichtsehrgut."
What he said was - Miss, I can speak Chinese, but my spoken English is not very good.
Lola Gellar looked at Edgar Austin in surprise, and was stunned for a long time before saying: "Look, you really know how to speak Voluntary Language. How could you think of learning Voluntary Language? Voluntary Language is a small language. If you want to learn a foreign language, Then you should also learn international lingua franca, as its practical scope is much wider."
A few seconds later, Edgar Austin said: "Mademoiselle, jevaisunpeudefrançais."
"You..."Lola Gellar couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up and stared at Edgar Austin with her mouth wide open, "Did you just... speak in Langxi language?"
Edgar Austin smiled and said, "Yes, I said I can also speak a little bit of Langxi."
"Oh my God, you are so secretive. I understand International Common Language and Voluntary Language, but I don't understand Langsi Language. You are better than me!"Lola Gellar admired, and the way she looked at Edgar Austin was completely different. .
Edgar Austin said: "I'm not as good as you. I just learned a few simple words when I was bored. You got a doctorate at such a young age. You are really good. I admire you very much."
Lola Gellar followed: "No, no, no, I should be the one who admires you. You have such powerful skills at such a young age, and you also taught yourself Volitional Language and Langxi Language. This shows that you are a very smart and motivated person. Your positive attitude towards life is already worth learning from."
"Haha...are we going to continue like this?"Edgar Austin smiled and then turned his attention to the work in hand.
Lola Gellar was still looking at Edgar Austin, unable to take her eyes away. She secretly said in her heart: "It's ridiculous. When I first saw him, I didn't believe him at all. I even looked down on him a little, but his craftsmanship is domestic." I can't find a few. Not to mention, they also taught themselves Volvos and Langxi. Apart from having one more diploma than them, what makes me better than them?"
In addition to admiration, she also felt a little ashamed.
However, she didn't know that everything she admired before her was just the beginning. No one can estimate what Edgar Austin will develop into in the future!
"Okay, it's finally done."Edgar Austin turned off the machine tool, took out one of the processed gears, and looked at it under the light.
Lola Gellar then put away her messy thoughts. She moved closer to Edgar Austin and looked at the gear. "Is this the last part?"
"Well, this is the last one."Edgar Austin said.
Lola Gellar said: "I didn't expect you to finish it so quickly. I thought I would have to stay up all night." At this point, she pursed her lips and smiled, "I just wanted to ask you where I will sleep tonight."
"You don't want to spend the night here, do you?"
"You don't even have a bed here, so I wouldn't have anywhere to sleep even if I wanted to."
Edgar Austin was about to say that there was a wire bed, but as he spoke, he suddenly felt that this topic would cause misunderstanding. He changed his words and said: "Miss Lola, let me take you back. Are you going home or the Archaeological Bureau? "
Lola Gellar looked at Edgar Austin with a smile, "You take me home, and then I will drive you home again?"
Edgar Austin then remembered that he was a man without a car. He smiled awkwardly and stopped mentioning the matter of giving it away.
Lola Gellar said: "Come with me to the Archaeological Bureau, I need your help."
Edgar Austin said: "Do you want to assemble it and make it move tonight?"
Lola Gellar nodded, "It is a miracle, and I can't wait to unlock its secrets."
Edgar Austin said without much thought, "Okay then, I'll accompany you to the Archaeological Bureau." He also wanted to know the origin of this compass and what secrets it contained.
Half an hour later, Edgar Austin followed Lola Gellar to the Archaeological Bureau. This time, instead of going to the showroom, Lola Gellar took him into an archaeological studio.
The studio is large, but it is filled with porcelain, stone sculptures and other cultural relics waiting to be processed, making the space seem very small. Lola Gellar cleaned up the workbench to make room, and then carefully placed the compass, Edgar Austin's repaired parts, and the parts machined with the lathe on the workbench.
Edgar Austin said: "Miss Lola, don't you call Professor Chance?"
Lola Gellar thought for a moment and said, "Forget it's so late. He will be here early tomorrow morning anyway. Mr. Edgar, I'm not very good at playing with machinery. Can you help me install this compass?"
"Of course, no problem."Edgar Austin agreed readily.
"Then I'll make you a cup of tea."Lola Gellar said.
Edgar Austin smiled and said, "Miss Lola, there's no need to be so polite."
"I'll make you a cup of tea to relieve your troubles. You should be busy first. I'll be back soon."Lola Gellar walked out.
Edgar Austin looked away from her graceful back and began to assemble the compass.
This is probably the first time he has done such a job as a watchmaker, and he has no experience at all. But he has his advantage. Through his left eye, he can recall the correct position of all the parts. Through his left eye, he can also easily see places that others cannot see and place parts correctly. Therefore, even though it was his first time doing this kind of work, he seemed to be at ease and smooth when he first got up.
When Lola Gellar returned to the studio with a cup of Pu'er tea, Edgar Austin had already installed the last part on the compass.
It was very strange. As soon as the compass was installed, the golden pointer on the dial started to rotate and then pointed in the direction of true north.
Edgar Austin clapped his hands and said with a smile, "It's done."
Lola Gellar walked over quickly, stared at the compass on the workbench, and said in surprise: "Why is it so fast?"
Edgar Austin smiled and said nothing. In fact, just to be on the safe side, he deliberately slowed down the pace of assembling the compass. If he wanted to hurry up, he might have finished assembling it while Lola Gellar was still boiling water.
"It moved. Did you use repaired parts?"Lola Gellar adjusted the glasses on the bridge of her nose, but she still couldn't see clearly what kind of parts Edgar Austin chose to complete the assembly.
Edgar Austin said: "I use repaired parts. I think I try to install the original parts first, and then try to install the parts that I processed. Then you can judge which result is the best."
"You are so attentive. Oops, I even forgot to give you tea."Lola Gellar then remembered the Pu'er tea in her hand. She put the tea cup into Edgar Austin's hand, and then eagerly went to study the assembled compass.
Edgar Austin was actually not thirsty either. After taking a sip of the tea soup, he put the tea cup aside, then moved closer to Lola Gellar and watched her playing with the compass.
Lola Gellar's body smells delicious, and the fragrance smells very good. She didn't notice Edgar Austin beside her, nor did she realize that when she leaned forward, a deep white groove was exposed in her V-shaped neckline.
The bright lights, the young and beautiful female doctor, the charming fragrance, the alluring beauty, and a mysterious compass. These elements were mixed together, and Edgar Austin had a very strange feeling in his heart, as if there was something in his heart. The feeling inside my body is indescribable.
"Mr. Edgar, please do me a favor and try replacing the parts you processed. Maybe there will be a different result."Lola Gellar said. 1
"No problem."Edgar Austin then replaced the parts he processed, this time even faster than before.
However, after installing the newly processed parts, the compass remained motionless.
Lola Gellar observed for a while and then said: "It's really strange. How could this happen? Mr. Edgar, could you please replace the original parts?"
Edgar Austin was actually very surprised, but he didn't ask any questions and just replaced the original parts. This time, the compass worked again, and the golden pointer pointed in the direction of true north.
Lola Gellar said in admiration: "I think this compass looks like it is made of cast iron, but there must be some special material added inside. It is so magical."
Edgar Austin said with a smile: "You need to study this. My work is now completed."
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a familiar face appeared in front of Edgar Austin and Lola Gellar.
It was Julianna who came, expressionless and cold all over. She glanced at Edgar Austin and Lola Gellar, and then her eyes moved to the compass.
"Why are you here?"Edgar Austin broke the strange silence.
"You're done, of course I'm coming."Julianna walked to the workbench, reached out and picked up the compass, then turned around and walked out.
Lola Gellar was anxious and hurriedly went up to block Julianna, "Miss Julianna, what are you doing? You can't take this compass away!"
Julianna said coldly: "It doesn't matter whether I can take this compass away, it doesn't matter what your director says, just get out of the way and don't hinder my work."
"No, no, you can't take it away, you have to make it clear!"Lola Gellar refused to give way.
Julianna suddenly slashed Lola Gellar's neck with his palm. Lola Gellar groaned, raised his head and fell to the ground.
Edgar Austin quickly stepped forward and hugged Lola Gellar, preventing her from falling to the ground. He said in surprise: "How can you do this? She is not the slightest threat to you at all!"
Julianna said calmly: "She will wake up in a quarter of an hour. Please take care of her. This cooperation ends here. I will contact you next time I need you to do anything."
Edgar Austin said depressedly: "You don't want to ask me if I agree? Also, you asked me to repair this compass. I fixed it. Can you tell me what it is used for?"
"Don't ask if you shouldn't know. Goodbye."Julianna turned around and walked out the door without leaving any extra words.
Edgar Austin held the fainted Lola Gellar and looked at the empty door without moving for a long time.
