– Not all words are clear to me, but the point is clear. No, there is no such thing. Do you think you need it?
– I need it in the first place. As it turned out, I can not read and write, we have a different alphabet. You can modify your artifact?
– I’ll try – he scratched his chin thoughtfully
– And also, I need to try learn to read. Can you get me an alphabet with pictures?
– Well, how can I give it to you?
– Tomorrow is the last day when there is no heir and I will be able to leave in the morning for a short while in a city, is there some cafes near the castle?
– Yes, there is" at the rock" for example. What time?
– Let’s go to 11. I forgot about another device – a voice recorder… You turn on the button, and it records everything that he hears around him, can do a lot of records, and they are stored in order, until you delete it
– How much is interesting in your world, and we thought it was backwards and apart from the sacrificial lamb you have nothing to offer.
– Not Wonderland, but we do not quite backward, even though we do not have dragons and magic and we live quite a bit. But back to the point, I agreed with the emperor’s aide for compensation of some of my expenses. But, I have to provide a list stating the purpose, amount and recipient.
So I need to:
1) Artefact of exchange
2) Communication artifact
3) Finalization of the communication artifact regarding the recording and storage of voice messages and finalization to the possibility of simultaneous communication with 3-5 opponents
4) The artifact of recording and storing the speech around.
So if you can create such artifacts and announce the cost and timing of their creation I will try to get money to buy them.
Weedon silent. Silent and looked at me enthusiastically. – Unbelievable! – Finally, he said – Incredible! – he said, and walked around the room. – In a matter of two days to agree about financing! You know, like the ministers for months knock money for their projects? – he paused briefly, looked at me and walked further
– But we haven’t been given a penny yet
– You do not know Emiron. If he didn’t reject at once, it almost certainly will be issued. I still can not believe it! Do you realize that if I create these artifacts, I will have stable orders from the Imperial Palace, and it is not just wealth, this recognition! – Weedon returned to the seat-Catherine, now I do not want to overthrow the Emperor.
– Vidon, first, we need to create these artifacts, try them out, and get the funding, the fame, and these orders. And if it works out, and you decide not to overthrow the Emperor, you’ll back me home before the final ball.
Only advance figure out how to escape then from werewolves.
– Yes, werewolves are not easy. They won’t forgive.
I realized that it was better to leave him alone with his thoughts.
– Weedon, I'll go.
– Yeah, see you tomorrow.
And he sat there, apparently lost in his thoughts. I Did not return it to the harsh reality, I closed the door and went back to Elenelike.
Chapter 14
Elegelika met me at home, we drink tea with herbs and berries, baked pancakes and sat behind a table in the garden among the green and smells of summer.
And before I could even take a sip, Elegelica started asking me questions, how are the contestants dressed, who has the most beautiful dress? What kind of furniture in the rooms, the halls? And the curtains and the wallpaper? Did the prince like? And the food is delicious? And in the garden which flowers grow? Not only did she ask questions, but she was interested in a thousand details of which she was putting together a picture, but unfortunately, I was not as attentive, so I shared what I had learned . But i promised that in the future will be more attentive to the interiors of the palace rooms, style palace ladies and taste Palace food. About Prince answered with restraint: not to my taste. I did not say that prince is fire-breathing monster and a special love for crocodile appearance, though winged, i never entertained.
