492: Leonardo da Vinci's assistant

Leonardo Da Vinci, the legendary Genius, the leader of the three giants of the Renaissance, was an incredibly capable figure who was almost a polymath.

He was not only proficient in art, painting, and sciences like physics, but also possessed astonishing talent in military, geography, water conservancy, civil engineering, and mechanical technology.

Basically, in the Western World, whenever painters or scientists are mentioned, this person is inevitably mentioned. Moreover, a guy with such universal talent can be called unprecedented and unrepeatable!

"You actually know who I am? Uh, wait, you actually know I am Da Vinci? But... but... you are an ancient person..."

Da Vinci was called out by Tang Ku and was almost incoherent.

Tang Ku curled his lips and spread his hands, saying, "Your Excellency Da Vinci, a Genius like you is one of a kind in the whole world. It's not strange for an ancient person like me to know you!"

Actually, as early as in the previous conversation with Watt, Tang Ku had basically made certain guesses about this super scientist who had made outstanding contributions to the development of Xituo Country.

After all, there was only one person in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, who was proficient in artistic molding, painting, and was also a scientist.

Especially after seeing that omnipotent camper van, coupled with Da Vinci's own obsession with the Golden Ratio, Tang Ku had roughly guessed who Watt's friend was.

"No, no... that's not right, that's not right. You've led me astray..."

Da Vinci patted his head in distress and said helplessly, "You... you are not completely an ancient person. You are jumping back and forth between ancient and modern times, which is why you know my name..."

Tang Ku's pupils shrank instantly, and he said in a deep voice, "You actually know my background? Did that Master of yours tell you this?"

Da Vinci suddenly realized he had let something slip and hurriedly covered his mouth.

Watt, who was on the side, said helplessly, "Old friend, he already knows, so don't try to cover it up anymore!"

Da Vinci put his hand down helplessly and said, "Well, indeed, we know far more than you imagine... Well, since you can guess my name, you must have already crossed paths with our people in the outside world..."

Tang Ku frowned slightly and then said, "That's right, I have already crossed paths with Darwin, Newton, and even Tesla. And more than once. To be honest, I really have many, many questions to ask!"

"But now is not the time for you to know these things!"

Watt shook his head and said, "Although we are the founding members who followed the Master earliest and know many secrets, there are too many things involved here. If we say it out, it will involve that Great Being... His plan should not be allowed to be destroyed... Well, your friend beside you should know this better than I do..."

As he spoke, Watt's gaze glanced at Tang Xian, who was standing to the side. Tang Xian crossed his arms and sneered, "Why look at me? I have nothing to do with your Master!"

"But you have a relationship with that Great Being. You are his..."

Da Vinci looked around vigilantly, but in the end, he didn't say Tang Xian's identity.

"He is the son of that Great Being, right?"

Tang Ku said, "I've known this for a long time... Well, speaking of which, you two have been discussing here for so long, what exactly do you need me to do for you?"

Da Vinci was silent, and Watt's eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn't say anything, which made Tang Ku sneer, "You two don't need to speak in riddles. In fact, I can guess some of it... That Great Being is using me, as well as your Master, to conduct some kind of experiment, right?"

Da Vinci and Watt looked at each other, and then they heard the bearded man say, "Not exactly, because in his hands, nothing needs to be experimented on... He is just waiting for the development results of this world!"

Tang Ku was confused, Tang Xian's eyes still held that look of disdain, and the others were all looking bewildered.

"Well, you are the final candidate for this event designated by that Great Being. If you can pass the test... well, let's call it a test, you will eventually have unexpected gains!"

Watt said, "I can only tell you this much. As for what exactly you can do for us, the time has not come, and we can't say what you can do. However, I think the time is coming soon!"

Da Vinci said, "Although I don't want to, if it is what that Great Being said, I think there must be his reasons!"

Tang Ku turned to look at Tang Xian. Tang Xian was clearly stunned, then spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me. Although I basically know the whole story, if I tell you, I will get spanked after I go back... My several aunts are more fierce than my father, and they hurt when they hit people!"

Tang Ku's mouth twitched, "You should know that when I hit people, it actually hurts quite a bit!"

Tang Xian laughed, "That's because I'm letting you win. If I used all my Magic Treasure, you might not be able to hurt me at all. Moreover, if the upcoming crisis cannot be dealt with because of your insufficient magic power, then not only will I be punished, but the things involved will not just be the Great Tang!"

Tang Ku was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I won't ask. But as for the things you said about me helping you leave, I don't know what to do either, so... I will take my leave now... Well, also, Mr. Da Vinci, I won't hold it against you that you sent someone to attack me. This old man is also quite pitiful. If you feel sorry for this assistant, don't let her appear in this identity again. It's really embarrassing!"

"Wait... isn't Da Vinci's assistant that Salai? Salai is more beautiful than a woman, how could it be such a fat old man?"

Tang Xian showed a look of shock, looking at the fat old man lying on the ground.

"He... She was a woman to begin with!"

Da Vinci smiled bitterly, "Walking in the world, the image of a woman has many inconveniences, and in order to help me, she changed her appearance every time she followed me, and she changed often..."

Tang Ku curled his lips and looked at Tang Xian with a smile, "It was you who stripped her clothes just now, I didn't do it!"

Tang Xian smacked his lips, "You are really not kind... Speaking of which, it was you who knocked her out..."

Seeing that Da Vinci seemed to be on the verge of exploding, he hurriedly said, "Well, we'll leave first, no need to see us off..."

As he spoke, he hurriedly dragged Tang Ku out.

When the group was about to leave, Da Vinci's explosive scolding suddenly came from behind, along with Watt's voice soothing him. And the last sentence Tang Ku heard before stepping out of the door was: "It won't be too long before you know how to help us. It also won't be too long before you will definitely find the path you should take..."
