Chapter 48 Mechanical Master

The stone house is very short.

The two-edged bull always has to bend over, otherwise it will be knocked down by the head if it is not careful.

The beams of the stone house are covered with metal accessories, all kinds of rivets, and various types of metal limbs. These cold things form a curtain and cover the scene in the room.

Star faintly saw the twisting figures in the room, as well as the pig-killing howl.

"You dead old man, be gentle. My arm is about to be broken by you!"

"Bastard, don't move. If you move again, the rivet will be crooked!"

Then the old voice followed, which should be Billy talking. Tannis walked in front of him, avoided the hanging parts on his head, and walked into the inner room. The three of them also followed quickly. What caught my eye was the wrenches and pliers all over the ground. A shirtless man was lying in linen**, and Billy was picking up the last rivet and installing it on the man's new robot arm.

The man lost his left hand, and his chest full of chest hair was covered with ferocious scars. Knocking down the line of sight, Star's eyes widened. This metal arm is completely beyond his own imagination. It doesn't look like a normal person's arm. It is completely replaced by a barrel that looks like a gun head in the position that originally belonged to the finger.

"This is the craft of the earth squire. It's the 'Mordin musket', that is, the thing that has become a musm gun. I bet that he is the only one in the capital of Azeroth. Tannis explained in a low voice. At the elbow, you can fill it with gunpowder and place bullets. Just blink your left eye and you can launch it. It's powerful enough to blow up a wall!"

Good craftsmanship. Starr quickly made an evaluation in his heart. At least with my own fist, I can't hit a wall.

"This guy is Billy's regular guest. He will repair his arm every time he comes back from a fight." Duran said aside. It seems that he may have suffered a little loss before, so he chose to install this kind of metal arm.

Star nodded. Although this kind of metal arm is instantly lethal, it is not more convenient for Starr as an alchemist than a finger that can move. At least the one-handed operation in the test is always inconvenient.

"Okay, you can try a new arm. If you get out of my door and come back to me to repair it, you will have to pay. Billy knocked on the mercenary's arm with a small hammer in his hand.

"How about the power?" The mercenary shook his arm. There was no inconvenience in using it, and his face was suddenly covered with a smile. He proudly put the barrel of the gun against Billy's head. "Tell me, I'll see if I can smash your head. If not, I will refuse to pay. If possible, I will add another bag of gold coins.

This guy! Starr stepped forward quickly and was firmly pulled by the bull as soon as he took two steps. He shook his head and motioned Starr not to be impulsive. Looking at the other two people, they all had an expression of watching the play. Obviously, they all know Billy's details. Star took a step back a little.

"Of course you can try it. If it succeeds, I don't want your reward. If it doesn't work, I will add an extra sum to the original reward. Billy laughed unsupportedly. Without panic, he took out a pipe from his waist, stuffed the tobacco leaves, and smoked slowly.

A trace of fierceness flashed on the mercenary's face, and he quickly blinked his left eye.

Star could see the mercenary's elbow working like a convulsion, and the piston at the metal connection was pumping and inserting crazily. The rumbling hammer hit the bullet in the chamber of the gun in an instant, and 'Mladdin's anger' was suddenly roared. A burst of gunpowder smoke with a pungent smell of gunpowder suddenly filled the whole room, and Tannis was choked and coughed.

"In the name of the wind, the gentle wind will set off your anger..."

Duran recited the spell loudly. A gust of wind passed through the alley and poured into the stone house crazily. The metal 'ping-pong' hanging on the roof collided and converged into a high piece of music. The strong wind and thick smoke were quickly dissipated, and the dilapidated stone house seemed to be a fire, and the black smoke in the cracks continued.

Star opened his mouth wide, and Duran was actually a wind magician. But this is not enough to surprise him. What really surprises Sta is the mechanic Billy.

The old man was still trying to suck the pipe, as if everything was not aimed at him. The felt cap on Billy's head has been smashed, and a dazzling metallic luster appeared on his bright skull. The mercenary's eyes widened, and the smile almost in his ear suddenly turned into a shock, and then became fear.

"Old bastard!"

The mercenary seemed to have red eyes, and he quickly blinked his left eye. The piston on his arm didn't seem to stop for a moment, and the thunderous roar sounded crazily.

The metal accessories hanging on the beam also trembled. They shook their bodies tremblingly and whispered a begging for mercy.

The roaring explosion was quickly replaced by the sound of 'kaka'. Star understood that it was likely that the bullets in the robotic arm had run out.

Du Lan recited a spell, and the thick smoke in the house was taken away by the strong wind again.

Under the layers of metal pendants, Billy was still sitting there smoking a pipe, but a palm-thick steel plate had been erected in front of him. The steel plate has been deformed. The black bullet almost shot through the steel plate, protruding a large piece, like a swollen pus.

He is also an alchemist! Star narrowed his eyes. Unconsciously, it can quietly form a steel plate with discarded metal, which is probably one or two higher than Sadek. No wonder the three of them are so confident in Billy.

"Not bad, not bad!"

The mercenary laughed. He knew that he had obviously angered the mechanic and hurriedly changed his words to praise. Although it didn't break your head, I'm still very satisfied. I will pay you twice as much commission."

With that, he quickly took out a large bag of gold coins and threw them over, and hurriedly escaped out of the door.

"Hail, I won't charge you an extra copper for the reward. After all, I'm also a small business, and the business is not benevolent and righteous. Billy stopped the fleeing mercenaries and rushed out with a pipe in his hand. As I just said, if I don't succeed, I will add an extra sum to the original reward.

"What more?" The mercenary stopped. Before he could speak, his body shook violently. The sharp eyes suddenly lost their brilliance.

"This old man is not an ordinary person." Old John's words suddenly sounded in my ear. Since Star successfully escaped from the castle and rejected old John's idea of being an apprentice again and again, he hasn't had a head for a long time. You don't have to find someone else to make metal arms at all. As long as you learn from me, I swear that what you make must be better than this old guy.

"You don't need to worry about it."

Star refused old John's proposal rudely. Again, Star doesn't have time to learn these things at all. However, the most critical issue is not here. He was afraid that he couldn't help but go the same way as Sadek. In Sta's intuition, he always thought that old John was not as enthusiastic and sincere as he was on the surface. It is not in line with the law of 'equivalent exchange' at all if you are so attentive to accept yourself as an apprentice and don't receive any reward!

At the moment when the two made friends, the mercenary had been kicked out of the door by Billy. Of course, the large bag of gold coins was also pocketed by his smiling income.

Then, he looked at Tannis. Girl, why do you have time to come to me?"

It was not until Billy came close to his vision that Star found that the old man was not an ordinary person. Most of his skin outside was replaced by the luster of metal, and the polished metal became part of Billy's body. Through visual vision alone, Billy's body has more than half of the metal-covered places.

The old man's left arm and right leg are metal limbs, even half of his head on the right. If it hadn't been for the vivid and flexible expression on his face, Star would have thought he was a flesh-and-blood puppet.

"I have a friend who wants to ask you to install a robotic arm." Tannis said with a smile. Star, come and let Master Billy have a look.

Star nodded and avoided the layers of metal accessories hanging upside down on his head and walked to old Billy. Billy didn't even raise his head. Obviously, he was not interested in Star. It's not the people in the capital of Azeroth. I won't do it for them.

Billy refused on the spot and shook his head into a rattle. Don't bring some people to me in the future. I said no, then no.

What an old man. Star smiled proudly. The only way to make such a pretentious person agree to his request is to communicate with the other party as a mechanic. Master Billy, your mechanical limbs are very delicate.

Star deliberately looked at the metal accessories on the beam. He casually picked up an arm with the same shape as the mercenary just now, pouted his lips, and deliberately sighed heavily. The piston on the arm is mainly focused on wear resistance. Although your work is very hard, it is not flexible enough. Especially in the joints, it seems to be slightly stuffy. In the case of continuous and rapid launch of the 'Moradin musket', it is likely to cause jams or even explosions. This is also the main reason why the mercenary just now is causing strange noises when he is firing the 'Mol'!"

"And this one!" Starr picked up another metal leg. The weight is not suitable. Although it can make the bucket gas flow without hindrance, the texture of the metal itself will reduce the speed of the user.

Almost every time Star picks up Billy's work, he will pick out some problems. It seems that in his eyes, the most outstanding mechanic by the capital of Azeroth is not worth mentioning at all. And the three of them couldn't help staring at each other. He dared to talk to a mechanic like this. Didn't he want Billy to make an arm for him?
