It turned out to be to verify the authenticity of the video.
Knowing that it was not Cressy who broke the law, Leon loosened his tangled fingers and said, "It's true, sir.
Our video has many angles, which is enough to prove that it is not fake.”
According to common sense, multiple shooting angles can indeed serve as strong evidence.
However, when Toby submitted a report to his boss, the response he received was perfunctory. This was a large-scale collective scam.
Therefore, Toby was a little disappointed that he didn't get what he wanted, so he asked them to repeat the whole process.
Leon and Claysi took turns speaking and quickly finished telling the story.
"Interview letter?" Toby keenly caught the key words.
He watched the video countless times, but did not find the interview letter or similar words.
This is normal. The scene was very noisy, and no one pointed the camera at the magician at the beginning, so a lot of information was missed.
Toby was very excited to have a new clue, and pulled Leon and Clay to sit on the sofa: "The magician said, how will the interview letter be mailed?"
Claysey shook her head to indicate that she didn't say anything.
Ryan, who was standing on the balcony overlooking the street, turned around and said, "Like in the movies, using an owl?"
It was just a joke, but Toby thought about it seriously.
It seems that it is not impossible.
Because there were outsiders present, it was not convenient for him to discuss the matter with Ryan, so he kept it to himself for the time being.
Then he chatted with Leon for a while and got up to leave.
Walking in the corridor, Toby lowered his head in thought.
Seeing his serious expression, Ryan was stunned: "Hey, I was just talking casually, do you take it seriously?"
"Owls can indeed be trained to deliver letters!"
"Oh my god." Ryan stroked his forehead with his right hand, "So, you still believe in some bullshit magician?"
Dear Toby, please, stop it.
Instead of investigating a non-existent magician, I'd rather go eat some fried chicken wings."
"You saw it just now." Toby ignored his colleague's complaints, "It doesn't look like they have the ability to organize a large-scale scam."
He was already a firm believer, and after close contact with the two eyewitnesses and questioning them, he had even less doubts.
At this moment, he was filled with excitement and eager to witness the magician perform magic with his own eyes.
What exactly is magic?
What is magic?
And the spell, the same as in the movie...
Thinking of this, he frowned.
Magicians do exist, but what about the movie and how did the original author create it?
"Toby,
Toby?
Toby!
Awakened by the shouting, he looked up blankly, and Ryan in front of him was a little speechless: “Don’t think about your magician.
Excuse me, how can the magic academy hide on a blue planet surrounded by satellites?"
"Well..." Toby pinched his chin, "Like the entrance to Platform Nine and Three Quarters, which Muggles can't see."
Ryan's mouth twitched: "You want to say, I'm a Muggle?"
"That was not what I meant."
"Well, even if what you said is true, how does the author of the novel explain it?
Why does she know about magic academy and write decent spells? "
Toby’s eyes lit up: “She’s a magician?!
At least she has something to do with the magician, I have to find her!"
"I..." Ryan suppressed the urge to curse and chased after Toby who was quickening his pace towards the elevator.
Chapter 118 Production Completed
In the purchased workshop, Zhang Mu was operating a machine tool and processing a cylindrical piece of metal.
Judging by the large irregular pieces of metal on the ground near his feet, the process of learning to use the device was not going too smoothly.
Zhang Mu stared at the metal pillar that was transformed into a strange shape by the rotating alloy blade, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
"It's finally done."
This past week, it was the first part of the owl's interior that was successfully manufactured.
It’s not that Zhang Mu’s skills are not good enough, but the puppetry requires the appearance of accessories to be too weird.
The precision doesn't need to be too high, and the external parts, such as claws and beaks, are easy to make.
But the components inside the body have strange shapes.
Most of them are arcs of different standards, and it is not just one arc, but a part has several arcs of different sizes.
It might not be difficult for a skilled worker to do this, but it is not that easy for a self-taught novice like Zhang Mu.
As to why this happens, the reason is simple.
The working principle of puppetry is not mechanical manipulation, but using suitable materials to form a magic circle inside the puppet, which is driven by magic power.
That’s why there are huge intrinsic differences between them and Bluestar Industrial Products.
Fortunately, after seven days of hard work, I finally made the first one. With the successful experience, things became much easier later.
Without wasting any time, Zhang Mu grabbed the metal pillar to place the machine and continued working.
Another three days passed, and the yield rate went from only one in ten to nine in ten.
Zhang Mu felt that it was almost done, so he took out the prepared materials from the inventory and processed them on the machine tool.
He didn't pay much attention to the appearance, as long as it looked that way, a few flaws didn't matter.
Because the function and quality of puppetry have little to do with appearance.
The shape of the puppet is up to the maker and does not affect the actual operation.
The core that determines the function and quality is the magic circle installed inside.
Magic circles range from simple to complex, and their functions vary.
The low-level ones just make the puppets move, with stiff expressions and mechanical voices.
The better ones can eat and drink normally and express various emotions perfectly.
Above that are the battle dolls.
Through the complex magic circle in the body, the puppet is given the practical ability to release magic and knight skills.
It also has a certain level of intelligence and can fight autonomously.
What Zhang Mu is currently making is slightly better than the lowest level. The puppets will show a certain "spirituality", which is very suitable for animal puppets.
After a while, the external parts of the owl doll were completed, and he focused his attention and began to process the components of the magic circle.
A few days ago, he took the time to dismember the violent bear and the earth scorpion. Now he just needs to put the prepared materials onto the machine tool.
Fine debris was thrown into the air by the blade and Zhang Mu adjusted the blade distance from time to time.
After working non-stop until the next day, I finally finished making all the accessories needed to assemble an owl.
Excitedly holding the pile of finished parts, he placed them on a smooth workbench not far away and started assembling them.
After about three hours, the beam of light that shone through the crack in the door onto the concrete floor of the workshop climbed up to the wall before stopping.
He held his thighs with both hands and raised the lifelike owl to look at it.
It has snow-white feathers, a black beak, and large eyes with black pupils surrounded by a circle of light yellow.
This is a species of owl - the Snowy Owl, which also appeared in the movie.
Zhang Mu mobilized his magic power, which flowed from his palm into the core in its abdomen.
As the core was charged, its dull eyes suddenly became lively.
The mental power communicated with the core, gained control, and commanded the owl to flap its wings and fly high, hovering under the ceiling.
After flying for an hour, he finally let it fall back onto his shoulder.
Observing the remaining magic power of the core, I estimate that the maximum endurance is three days.
If it were in the Sol Continent, there would be no such thing as a limit to endurance. The magic array in its body could automatically absorb the free magic power in the air as a supplement.
Then, Zhang Mu controlled the owl to fly out of the workshop and stood on the roof to monitor the surroundings.
With the shared vision, you can clearly see the surrounding asphalt roads, the occasional passing cars, and the few pedestrians passing by.
Feeling confident, he ran to the machine tool and started working.
Another three days passed, and all the prepared materials were used up. A total of twenty owls of different species, colors and sizes were made.
Zhang Mu stood up straight, raised his hands and stretched lazily: "I've been busy for almost half a month, and now it's done."
He turned and ran to the corner, picked up the bottle of boiling water, made a bucket of instant noodles and returned.
After the noodles were soaked, he slurped them while looking at the twenty owls crowded on a machine in front of him.
It’s basically enough. We will set off for Ying Country later.
Well...the candidate for the interview letter...
Recalling the crowd at King's Cross station that day, the only people who left a deep impression on me were two enthusiastic young people.
Zhang Mu frowned while chewing noodles. Where should he find them?
