At this moment, she gazed at Ye Ting, and Ye Ting gazed back at her.
Their gazes collided.
"Hello, Orianna." Ye Ting reached out his hand to her.
"Hello, Dad. Nice to see you." Orianna happily took Ye Ting's hand and stood up.
Her voice was melodious, but her pronunciation had a typical mechanical style, not as human-like as artificial intelligence assistants like Siri. However, Ye Ting could hear something that Siri and its ilk could never express: human emotion.
Her hands were cold yet had a warm texture, adorned with intricate patterns.
As he helped her up, Ye Ting found it slightly difficult; after all, she was a fully metallic mechanical being. He estimated she weighed around a hundred kilograms.
Standing up, Orianna held the metallic hem of her skirt with both hands and gracefully curtsied to Ye Ting in a standard manner. Then, with a wave of her right hand, the metal casing that had been lying on the ground as packaging immediately folded and transformed into a half-meter-diameter metal sphere. The gears on the surface of the sphere began to move, and silver-blue light emanated from the embedded crystals before it hovered steadily in the air.
This was her Clockwork Automaton.
The Lady of Clockwork had finally unfolded completely before his eyes.
Seeing this, Ye Ting could finally ask the question that had been bugging him for a while.
"Orianna, why do you call me Dad?"
However, he did not receive the answer he wanted.
"Dad is Dad." she replied.
Next, Ye Ting inquired about her abilities, and the obedient Orianna told him everything she knew, allowing Ye Ting to gain a general understanding of her.
The Lady of Clockwork, Orianna, did possess human intelligence. However, since her thinking core operated based on magical and soul technology, characterized by forming a personality rather than computation, she did not possess computational power akin to a computer.
This was the difference between magical technology and scientific technology. Both had intelligent cores, but the former excelled in spirit and soul, while the latter excelled in computational speed.
However, Ye Ting believed that this could be upgraded.
By utilizing magic to simulate electronic technology and creating a CPU, and unifying the programming language between the CPU and the soul thinking core, the magical technology CPU could become another brain for Orianna.
This would allow the soul thinking core to focus on personality and emotions, while the CPU focused on computation. Orianna would then become a "super artificial intelligence" possessing both human thinking patterns and logical and computational abilities akin to a supercomputer.
In terms of knowledge reserve, Orianna behaved like someone with amnesia. Her memory of past experiences was completely blank, but she possessed sufficient common sense about life.
Additionally, she was indeed proficient in the precision machinery manufacturing of magical technique.
Although in "League of Legends," Orianna was a ranged hero, the real-life Orianna possessed considerable close-quarters combat abilities.
Her metal casing was stronger than imagined, at least resistant to physical attacks on the level of conventional missiles. Moreover, she had strong resistance to magic.
Powered by the Hextech Crystal Heart, the Lady of Clockwork also possessed immense power, with a maximum output reaching several tons or even dozens of tons.
Furthermore, she had the ability to launch magical missiles from her palm—equivalent to the basic attack of the Lady of Clockwork in the game.
She also had an anti-gravity system that allowed her to maintain suspension. At maximum output, this could be equivalent to flight, but the speed could not exceed the speed of sound.
Most importantly, as a mechanical being, the Lady of Clockwork could continue to upgrade herself. With sufficient advanced technology, she could grow infinitely stronger, whether by enhancing her strength, attaching various weapons, or achieving faster speeds.
However, the Lady of Clockwork's most powerful ability did not lie within herself but in her spherical mechanical automaton.
All the "spells" of the Lady of Clockwork existed around the automaton.
This automaton was an autonomous mechanical being with a certain level of intelligence, following Orianna and assisting her. Orianna could give the automaton special commands, causing it to exert magical effects—such as "Command: Noise," "Command: Attack," "Command: Defend," and "Command: Shockwave" were just four of the most typical ones; in fact, it could do much more.
After learning about Orianna, Ye Ting felt immense surprise and excitement. This seemingly frail and stiff mechanical girl was indeed powerful enough. In the world of "Harry Potter," in most cases, she would be sufficient to protect the currently not-so-powerful Ye Ting. Even facing Voldemort and Dumbledore at their primes, she had enough ability to escape with him.
However, he currently faced a major problem: how to hide Orianna and her automaton?
A girl of one meter sixty-two and a half-meter-diameter metal ball could never be hidden from his classmates and Dumbledore's eyes, but how should he explain Orianna's existence to others?
Finally, Ye Ting reluctantly came up with a solution: the Shrinking Charm.
It was the first spell he learned and the one he was currently most proficient in.
He planned to use the Shrinking Charm to shrink Orianna to the size of a figurine, allowing him to carry her around like a toy.
In his opinion, since the wizarding chess pieces in the Harry Potter world were alive, it wouldn't be surprising for him to pull out a moving figurine.
The only issue was that the Shrinking Charm did not work on living beings, and it was unclear how effective it would be on mechanical beings like Orianna.
"Let's try it." Ye Ting pulled out his wand and tapped Orianna lightly.
"Reducio!"
Fortunately, the Reduction Charm worked on mechanical beings, and Orianna successfully shrunk to the size of a palm, with her automaton transforming into a tiny metal ball.
Orianna happily climbed up Ye Ting's arm and onto his shoulder, then jumped onto Himari's body, riding her and having a blast.
Sensing that Orianna and Ye Ting had the same contract as she did, Himari happily played with her until Ye Ting grabbed her by the neck and brought them both to the bed.
Before going to sleep, Ye Ting quietly asked a question.
"Orianna, what is your wish after coming to this world?"
"I want to be with Dad forever and take a good look at this world."
