Robert smiled gently and nodded.
Sean was even more shocked to see the true face of "Thug" Carlos than to recognize the Queen.
There are rumors that Carlos, who is extremely hard-core, is actually a gang member.
Sean could never imagine that the true identity of the thug was a craftsman who sat at the workbench and worked quietly, with an easy-going and gentle personality...
Roberto Carlos shrugged: "My mask is a bit special. After wearing it, my personality becomes a bit... impatient.
"I was rude before, please bear with me."
Please bear with me...
Although I already knew the truth, I still couldn't connect the person who said this to the extremely vulgar guy with the cigar in his mouth.
"Don't look at him being so reasonable now," Wendy said, lifting her denim overalls that were sagging a little because of the tools in her pockets. "After putting on the mask, he becomes a complete villain!"
Robert smiled sheepishly.
Jingle Bell.
The brass bell was knocked against the door again.
Under Sean's instruction, Olivia Wind Chime, who had been standing across the street, walked into the precision workshop.
"This is one of my team members," Sean introduced, "Olivia."
As soon as she saw Olivia, Wendy walked over to her and looked around with a frown.
Then, suddenly——Wendy screamed. She suddenly approached Olivia and observed her with a somewhat rude measure.
As Sean expected: Olivia's disguise can hide it from ordinary people, but it cannot escape the eyes of precision craftsmen.
"This is..." Wendy's eyes widened, "This is..."
"Golden Rose! The real golden rose!"
Wendy looked a little fanatical, causing Olivia to look at Sean for help.
Understanding how the alchemist felt when he saw Olivia, Sean comforted Olivia with a slight wry smile: Don't worry, it's okay.
"Da Vinci's last legacy!"
Wendy held Olivia's hand for a while, and pinched the red-eyed girl's face for a while - like a relative who had not seen the girl for many years and was overly enthusiastic.
As Wendy took in Olivia's full appreciation, Sean and Alicia gave a brief introduction to their respective teams before exchanging information and intel.
Sean already knew that there was another person in Alicia's team who was currently out dealing with other matters.
He is not an internal member of Daedalus, but an outsider like "Makeup Artist" Jennifer.
His name is Wright and he is a "magician".
"Flower" Wendy, "Thug" Carlos, "Makeup Artist" Jennifer, "Magician" Wright.
These four people are Alicia's entire manpower.
Among them, Carlos and Wendy are both King-level, while Jennifer and Wright are only Queen-level.
Alicia functions as a "chess player" and her soul concentration reaches the level of "gin".
Claiming that he has some means of self-protection, but does not have strong combat capabilities.
However, Alicia, who has no rating, is the most threatening presence in their team.
Because she is an outstanding strategist. Not the ones charging into the battle, but the ones sitting behind the chessboard.
This also confirms some of Sean's recent thoughts - namely, the difference between "chess players and chess pieces".
After some encouragement from Moonlight, Sean realized one thing: the level of explorers is only determined by their own strength.
It has nothing to do with their strategies and strategies.
In extreme cases, weak humans can also find ways to kill powerful mammoths.
The reversal factor in this is the gap in resourcefulness.
"One's own improvement is important, but the player's strategy is another key."
If the Jack class is a pawn on the chessboard, the Ace class is a queen.
Strong chess players can also use pawns to capture the queen.
This kind of thinking allows Sean to break out of the strict strength hierarchy and gain more confidence and thinking space.
He began to believe in strategy and the power of teamwork, rather than pure hierarchy.
"Of course, this is still talking about a war between people. If the enemy is a god..."
Sean couldn't imagine that situation yet.
To be precise, he didn't know if strategy and team could bridge the gap that was like a different dimension.
There seems to be some kind of restriction in "Wendy's Alchemy Workshop". Sean and Alicia can talk freely without worrying about eavesdropping.
Time was running out, and under Sean's questioning, Alicia informed her of her subsequent plans.
“I must leave Ocean City with the treasure trove to stop Rabbi Lins’ plan to become a god.
“There are three ways to get out of Ocean City.
"The first is the elevator center - Ocean City officials have issued a wanted notice for me, and it is no longer possible for me to leave the elevator center."
“Second is the daily supply subs.
“Ocean City sends ten submarines to Leon and New Zealand every day to purchase various supplies.
"However, because of the safety of fresh water and food, the supply submarine is guarded more closely than the elevator center...
“The last way is to export submarines from Ocean City.
“They will transport Ocean City’s specialty alchemical metals and crafts to Leon or Newland.
“Relatively speaking, the security and inspection of export submarines are not that strict.
"I plan to use the export submarine tonight to leave Ocean City with the treasure trove..."
While Alicia was talking, Wendy trotted all the way to the warehouse behind the workshop, dug out an old-fashioned thing and stuffed it into Olivia's hand.
Olivia's eyes showed surprise: "This...?"
Sean and Alicia both cast their eyes over.
Olivia held a delicate umbrella made of brass in her hand, which was heavy and heavy.
She caressed this thing, which evoked some long-lasting memories...
“Dal Vinci made many accessories for The Golden Rose.
“Those accessories are gifts for Olivia.
"Just because they are very subtle and have powerful effects, many people use them as mysterious heritage...
"As long as we get these 'gifts' back, we can directly strengthen Olivia."
Olivia waved her bronze umbrella and opened it suddenly.
Like a thin but strong copper shield, it unfolded in front of the precise girl.
"The copper-bone umbrella can not only be used as a weapon, but can also withstand direct fire from ordinary rifles." Wendy stroked Olivia's short hair lovingly, as if she was overly doting on her junior.
In Olivia's mind, scenes of lost scenes emerged.
The flames danced in the fireplace, and under the kerosene shadowless lamp, Grandpa smiled, raised the magnifying eyepiece, and handed the bronze umbrella to himself...
Olivia held her umbrella and bowed to Wendy, her white hair fluttering lightly.
I can get back the gift my grandfather gave me, and I can also revive my lost memories...
She really appreciates it.
Just as everyone was touched by the scene in front of them.
Jennifer, the makeup artist on the side, blew a melodious whistle.
That whistle seemed to have some special meaning, and everyone in Alicia's team stopped moving and making sounds.
Then, Wendy said somewhat deliberately: "Tina, why are you lazy again? Go oil the objects in the warehouse."
What separated Wendy's words was everyone's gaze - they all looked in the direction Jennifer indicated...
There, on the wooden shelf, stood a small golden object.
Sean squinted and saw that it was a small ladybug whose shell reflected golden light.
