The next day in the afternoon.

Yesterday's heavy rain washed the entire city, making London look a lot cleaner and tidier.

Sitting on the carriage, looking at the passing street scene through the small window of the carriage, Lu Qi couldn't help but look away, looked at Green sitting opposite, and asked:

"Henry, you haven't told me yet, who are we going to see?"

Hearing this, the Indian man smiled mysteriously and said, "A young man with a genius brain..."

With some curiosity, the carriage stopped in front of a house in Lambeth District.

After getting out of the car and arriving at the house, Green didn't even knock on the door. He just turned the door handle, pushed the door open and walked in.

This scene made Lu Qi, who was following behind him, raise his eyebrows.

It seems that the young man they are about to meet is very familiar with Green...

Following the winding stairs, the two arrived at the living room on the second floor of the house.

A young man in a brown suit was sitting at the table with a serious face, facing a telegraph machine and writing in a notebook with a pen.

The moment he walked into the living room, Lu Qi noticed that there was a drafting table in the living room, and various mechanical parts and tools were also placed on the bookshelf. Combined with Green's description of it, Lu Qi easily guessed the young man.

identity of.

This is a scientist!

"Alex!"

Green's shout made the man slap his hands and then turned his head.

With slightly curly hair and neat clothes, he is no different from every British gentleman you meet on the street.

Except for the burnt yellow marks on the left arm sleeve...

Seeing Green and Lu Qi, the young man couldn't help but put down the notebook in his hand and showed a puzzled look:

"Oh, Henry, why are you here? This is..."

"This is my friend, Alex Mars, from the far East."

After hearing Green's introduction, the man suddenly stood up and glanced at Lu Qi's left hand, smiling slightly:

"Oh, what a coincidence, you are also Alex?! But I am Alexander Graham Bell..."

"He is also a linguist, inventor and technology expert." As if Lu Qi didn't know, the Indian brother helped introduce him.

Hearing this, Lu Qi also smiled back and stepped forward to shake hands with Bell:

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Bell."

Only then did Lu Qi remember who this Bell in front of him was.

Alexander Graham Bell, a British inventor, received 18 invention patents in his lifetime.

And his greatest invention is the telephone that enables communication between people without being affected by distance!

In the game "Assassin's Creed Syndicate", there are many historical celebrities, and "Father of the Telephone" Bell is just one of them.

When Lu Qi thought about the several historical celebrities he might meet in the future, Lu Qi couldn't help but look forward to them.

You know, the opportunity to have close contact with historical celebrities is not always available...

While Lu Qi was distracted, Green did not forget to explain to Bell the purpose of their visit:

"That's it, Alex, I have something to ask you for help..."

Under Green's look, Lu Qi came to his senses, took out the damaged rope gun and handed it to Bell.

"Hmm... looks like the casting is cracked..."

While muttering, Bell picked up a screwdriver on the table and took apart the rope gun with a click:

"Let me see... Yes, I can use one of the parts inside as our fuse on Big Ben. I've had enough of Starry touting those analgesic potions so powerfully on the telegram

nonsense..."

Hearing this, Lu Qi couldn't help but look at the Indian man aside, who immediately explained:

"Alex is setting up a new telegraph line for our United Free Press..."

Before he finished speaking, Bell, who was repairing the rope gun, turned around and added:

"Fight Starry Telecom!"

In this era, telegraph was the most popular communication tool. However, the telegraph industry in London was monopolized by Starry Telecommunications Company, which spent all day promoting some false news that was beneficial to the Templars.

The lines of other small independent companies were damaged and the fuses could not be replaced, making it impossible to stop Starry's monopoly on the telegraph industry.

Because all the telegraph lines in London are set up on Big Ben.

To enter Big Ben, you must get a special government pass!

And for this pass, Starry will make sure that no one can get it...

Therefore, in order to break Starry's monopoly, weaken the enemy's power, and make their own voices heard, Green and Bell came up with such a method.

Of course, the one who really wants to perform this task is not anyone else, but Lu Qi.

"If I could replace these fuses and make them independent of Big Ben's wiring, Starry's influence would be weakened. His false propaganda would not make endless noises and creep in.

In the minds of the people of London..."

While he was talking, Bell had already finished repairing the rope gun, "Okay, done!"

After taking the part of the rope gun handed over by Bell, Lu Qi looked at a large part of it that had been disassembled on the table, with a puzzled look on his face:

"Is this... repaired?"

"The casting is broken and cannot be repaired. So I've modified it a little bit. I've removed the unnecessary external gear to allow for a separate transmitter to mount it to your handguard so

milk."

Obviously, Bell also knew about the existence of the Assassin organization, otherwise he would not have known that the black gauntlet on Lu Qi's left hand was the Assassin's hidden sword.

After installing the rope dart launcher on the leather gauntlet, Lu Qi moved his left hand and found that it did not affect his ability to use the hidden sword, and then said:

"Now, let's test the performance of this device. How is it?"

"certainly!"

Taking Bell's private carriage, Lu Qi and Bell set off together to go to Big Ben.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Mars, your English is so good. I can't believe that you have only been in London for two weeks..."

"I have never been to the East. Is there really witchcraft there?"

"You are also an assassin, so how old did you start training?"

Along the way, Lu Qi finally understood why Bell, a good friend, became an inventor.

Having such a strong curiosity can certainly drive a person to discover and explore unknown things, and never tire of it...

Arriving at the Thames River, the carriage stopped near Big Ben. Lu Qi took the fuse to be replaced from Bell and immediately ordered:

"Okay, wait for me in front, I'll be right back."

After saying that, Lu Qi got out of the carriage and walked quickly towards Big Ben.

After going around in a circle, he came to the alley next to Big Ben. When no one was paying attention to him, Lu Qi put on his hood, raised his left hand, and pointed it at Big Ben.

There was only a "pop" sound, and the rope dart launcher quickly shot out a rope with a hook, which hung directly on the Big Ben tower more than 20 meters high.

The next second, as the pulley in the rope dart launcher rotated, the rope was quickly recovered. Lu Qi was suddenly lifted up by a reaction force, and flew up to the bell tower more than ten meters high!

At the moment when the rope dart was retrieved, Lu Qi grabbed the protrusion on the surface of the bell tower with both hands, and his whole body was suspended on the floor of Big Ben.

Looking at the rope dart launcher on the gauntlet, Lu Qi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and said to himself:
Chapter completed!
