After my visit to the merchant's guild a day passed, as I was going to stay a week in the capital Bernard helped me with the inn, after waking up early in the morning I went down the stairs of the inn going to the second floor, I sat at one of the tables and soon after a little girl came to my table.
"Good morning, I'll bring your breakfast"
Said the little girl with a beautiful smile on her face going towards the kitchen right away.
Who just spoke was the daughter of the owners of the inn I am in, they are long-time friends of Bernard so he recommended me to this place, while I was thinking about it some people at the next table were talking.
"By the way, I went to the merchant's guild yesterday and heard that they were with someone super important in the boss's office, they wouldn't let anyone in"
Said a man as he took a beer.
"I heard about that too, do you think it could be him?"
One of the friends asked.
"Him?"
"Yes, the one with the X, or whatever they call him, there is no mention of his real name but they are saying that he is a genius who appears every 100 years, I heard from some friends that Bernard was going to bring someone to the capital yesterday, and since Bernard is the only one who knows who the X I think it matches with this other person coming"
Listening to the conversation of these men a drop drops down my forehead, the reason I hid my name was simply because I know it would be risky for now, I don't want to be hired or bothered by organizations and corporations, but I know that one day it will be inevitable that they will end up discovering my true identity, after a while the little girl came back with my breakfast, since she was bringing too much stuff at once I decided to go to her and help him.
"Alright, here is your breakfast"
Said the girl with a smile, I returned her smile and soon she went back to the kitchen aiming to serve the other customers, looking at my table my breakfast consists basically of a juice, but I really don't know what this juice is, not to mention that it's not really tasty, it's quite inferior to what I used to drink in my past life, apart from that there is a soup and a bread, the soup is quite boring because it has no spices and the bread is relatively hard.
Mixing my bread into the soup I begin to eat my breakfast while continuing to listen to what the men were saying, but apart from what they had said there was nothing else of interest that I could hear so basically as soon as I finished my breakfast I set off for Henry's workshop, i had already told Bernard the day before that I would go to Henry's workshop to make the first prototype of the watch, plus I decided to make a last-minute wrist version, but if it was Henry, I am sure he would accept with a smile on his face, he seems to be the kind of guy who likes to do new things after all.
As I walked down the street, I observed the various stores present, just for the record the ground has no sidewalk, and is basically dirt, while thinking about this I came to a certain store, looking at the map in my hand I checked again to see if I was in the wrong place.
"Bernard said that as soon as I left the inn, I would find Bernard's store 13 stores later, I guess I am in the right place"
Thinking about it I decide to enter the store, as soon as I enter the store, I see that it is a relatively simple store, I approach the counter and ring the bell that was there to indicate that someone had entered the store, after a few seconds a man comes out from the back of the store and soon spots me.
"Oh, it was you kid, Bernard told me you were coming today because he wanted to talk to me about something but I didn't think you would be here so soon"
Henry said leaning against the counter.
"Oh yes, and that as soon as I finished breakfast I decided to come here, I have a new project and I would like you to help me"
As soon as I said that Henry's eyes took on a sparkle and a smile made its way across his face.
"Interesting, let's talk in my workshop"
With that Henry and I entered his workshop and started to talk about the clock, as soon as I showed Henry the design and tried to explain how it works, he was skeptical at first but after I told him I had made the manual water pump the same way he soon gave in.
"But seriously where do you get these ideas from?"
Henry said looking at me.
"Even if you ask me that... I just decided to create it so I started thinking about how to do it"
I wasn't really lying, first I decided to create then later I scoured my memory looking for the manufacturing method I read in some books.
"Besides, I also made this other wristwatch design, this is a smaller version that allows the person to see the time anywhere, after all, the original watch is designed for specific environments, so I decided to make one that you can carry, it works the same way as the other one"
After hearing me Henry sighed before looking at me as if looking at something unbelievable.
"There you go again making modifications like it's something easy, you have no idea that these things you are asking me to do are extremely difficult to do, don't you?"
"You don't think you can do it?"
Hearing my answer Henry simply snorted before a smile made itself present on his face.
"Who do you think I am kid, come back here in three days and you will have that clock of yours working perfectly"
Henry said with a smug smile on his face.
