Chapter 18 Nobles(1/2)
Duke was very surprised, not only because of the name of the nuclear fusion battery, but also because the words written on it were not in this popular language, but in Chinese characters!
"Master, do you know these square characters?"
Alyssa had a strange look in her eyes.
But Duke didn't notice, as his mind was now full of question marks.
It’s actually a Chinese character!
Something from a thousand years ago?
Duke quickly remembered that his self-defense revolver, according to Alger, was taken from the ruins and had a history of more than a thousand years.
In other words, this nuclear fusion battery was also dug out from the ruins?
And it is very likely that he comes from the country where he is?
Duke had a sense of absurdity.
Although he was surprised when he got this revolver before, he also thought that maybe this world has nothing to do with his world.
But this time is different from that time. After all, it is a language I know well. This feeling is completely different.
To put it simply, it means that you have a sense of immersion.
But having said that, is this really a nuclear fusion battery? It won’t explode, right?
What elements are in this, what is its half-life, and can it still be used after such a long time?
Duke's mind was racing with thoughts, and all kinds of questions came one after another.
"Master?"
Alyssa saw Duke suddenly become stunned, and immediately reminded him in a low voice.
"ah?"
Only then did Duke come back to his senses.
"Alyssa, do you know about fusion batteries?"
"have no idea……"
Alyssa shook her head.
Only then did Duke discover that Alyssa, who was like a human encyclopedia, also didn’t understand something!
"Master...do you know the words on this?"
Alyssa finally couldn't hold it back and asked in a low voice.
"We know each other..."
Duke nodded.
"Master, you are so amazing! Very few people know this kind of relic font. They are basically old people who study history. Among the relic fonts, the most difficult thing is this square font. As far as I know, in the City of Dawn, it seems that
No one has yet announced that he has cracked the block letters..."
Alyssa praised sincerely.
Duke was a little embarrassed by what she said.
"Where is it? I think I have read books on this before. I can't remember clearly. Anyway, I can recognize a few words."
Duke gave a haha.
Alyssa didn't doubt it either. After thinking about it, she suggested to Duke:
"Then the young master may be able to buy some relic items. The value of relic items can be high or low. Generally speaking, things that don't know their function are priced low, while things that can play a role are priced high. If you know the words for these relics,
If you do, you might know the function of these things..."
Duke instantly understood what Alyssa meant.
Just pick it up!
But after thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is really feasible!
He just didn't know what these so-called relics were. After all, they were things from more than a thousand years ago. Even if they were well preserved using some methods that he couldn't understand, there probably wouldn't be much left.
Moreover, from what he saw and heard in Dawn City, Duke learned that the technology here was not very backward, and was actually quite advanced in some places, such as power armor, radiation anti-radiation agents, etc.
The things in the ruins may be good or bad.
Of course, if this nuclear fusion battery is real, it means that the technology before the war was still very advanced, but we just don’t know how to use this thing and where it can be used.
Duke frowned in thought.
To be honest, he thought it might be better if the bag contained money. After all, he was short of money now.
Dong dong dong——
There was a knock on the door.
Alyssa said to Duke:
"Master, people from the Metropolitan Police Department are here. They have been here these days. They said they were concerned about your physical condition. By the way, I wanted to ask about the situation of the Bloody Hand Club at that time. Oh, by the way, Matthew has also been here several times.
, but seeing that you weren’t awake, I didn’t bother you too much.”
"Well, let them come in and take this away."
Duke handed the fusion battery to Alyssa.
Alyssa took it and hid it in her sleeve, and then went to open the door.
"Hello, Miss Alyssa, I'm sorry to bother you, I want to ask-"
"Master Duke is awake, please come in."
"Ah? Okay, thank you!"
Alyssa went out with the dinner plate and closed the door.
Duke looked at the two men in uniform with some curiosity.
"Hello Mr. Duke, my name is Richard, and this is my assistant Jeffrey."
Officer Richard is about thirty years old, with short blond hair, blue eyes, short stature, slightly fat, and an unshaven face. There are some dark circles in the deep eye sockets. It is obvious that he did not sleep well last night, or at all.
Didn't sleep.
Jeffrey is a young man with brown hair and brown eyes, thin build, and looks energetic.
When they saw Duke on the bed, they looked in surprise.
After all, they knew that Duke suffered a large amount of radiation three days ago, and as a result, he was fine!
This is incredible!
They didn't understand medical matters, so they could only sigh that Duke was so lucky.
"Officer Richard, Officer Jeffrey, hello, please forgive me for being inconvenient to get out of bed..."
"It's okay, it's okay. You don't need to come down. We just came to see how you are doing. We are relieved to see that you are okay!"
Richard said a few polite words first, and then said:
"I don't know if you have time. I want to ask you a few questions to understand the situation when you were attacked."
"Of course, please tell me."
Duke made a gesture of invitation, and Richard and Jeffrey sat across from each other. Jeffrey even took out a small notebook and started recording.
"When did you go to the Bloody Hand Club?"
"Probably around eight o'clock in the evening."
"Are you with anyone besides Mr. Matthew?"
"No."
"..."
"Do you know who kidnapped you?"
"It should be called David. Of course, I don't know if this is his real name. Mr. Matthew was a good friend with him before."
"..."
"After you were kidnapped, did Cotton, the leader of the Bloody Hand Club, shoot you?"
"Shot fired."
"..."
These are all very common questions.
Duke felt that they should have asked Matthew about it, and they came to him just to make sure.
"..."
“Thank you very much for your cooperation!”
