Chapter 202 next(1/2)
"What do you think of this design?" In a laboratory at the School of Alchemy, Abigail was showing her friends a design drawing she had just finished drawing. The content on the drawing was a four-wheeled vehicle body.
The chassis structure, and there is also this slightly scrawled sketch of the body shell on another design drawing.
This car body design is very similar to Erica's GAZ, but some changes have been made to some parts of the structure. Whether it is the shell of the car body or the chassis structure diagram, everyone quickly noticed
These things are probably improved products based on Erica's GAZ.
"Abi, I have a question before this." Helena raised her hand obediently and then asked: "Who are those two ladies? The ambassador of Algasburg seems to have a very good relationship with them.
, but I found that their clothes and utensils were incompatible with other people in Algasburg."
Helena's misunderstanding about the Chosen Ones is not actually because of any problems with her intelligence sources, but because the Principality has not yet fully disclosed the matter of the Chosen Ones. As for those who know the existence of the Chosen Ones, basically
Among the dignitaries in the country, those who truly understand the identity and origin of the Chosen One are limited to the small circle of Duke Michael's core group, and Chris's side is not included in them.
Although Helena has some noble relatives, there are some things that the other party may not dare to say to the outside world, especially at the moment, the fact that Darthniel Klein inexplicably defected abroad and died in a different place, and was eventually expelled and had his house confiscated still hangs over the heads of the nobles across the country.
In addition, Count Oskander was punished with a large amount of financial punishment, Count Cassim took the initiative to be expelled and exiled to the south, and finally the Viscount of Troyes was imprisoned and had all his property confiscated, which caused a great sensation in the country.
.These thunderous events shocked the high and low officials of the Principality of Michael. At the same time, they also covered up the subsequent turmoil left by the dark streets and black markets of Trikla City from another angle.
It is understandable that Helena's relative did not dare to tell the truth to her who was not a powerful person. In fact, Abigail also felt that if her mother had not had a special status, she might have to give it to Night Owl or Lion afterwards.
Wei's people interviewed and sealed the deal.
After all, the identity of the Chosen One is very sensitive not only to the whole country, but also to the entire human society, because the god behind them is a real existence, at least now, the upper echelons of the principality have secretly recognized it.
This point, however, currently lacks a suitable opportunity to make it public.
Because judging from the ignorant and herd behavior of most people, even if the Principality of Michael takes the lead in recognizing the existence of the Supreme God Severna, it may not make the people across the country believe it. If the domestic people cause trouble, it will be reported to the Chosen One.
Or what the supreme god said in front of her eyes, the result was something Abigail really didn't want to imagine.
"Helena...do you believe me?" Abigail hesitated for a while before asking.
"Of course, why should I not believe you?" Helena responded decisively.
"Then in that case, don't ask about the identities of those two people." Abigail changed her usual easy-going attitude to a rare serious expression and said: "Remember, don't go under any circumstances before the principal government takes action.
Feel free to inquire about the identities of those two ladies, and don’t mention it in front of your noble relative."
"I understand..." Although Helena was very shocked, she still decisively agreed to Abigail's proposal and sat back obediently.
And then Abigail glanced at the others and quickly continued to explain these two new concept design drawings that she had spent a whole day and night working on. At this moment, except for Helena, everyone in the laboratory was present.
Others include her friend Kester, and Powers is currently studying in another classroom due to different subjects. In addition, the people in this laboratory are about a dozen classmates with the same subject.
, in addition, behind a window somewhere in the laboratory stood a man dressed as a professor, looking with interest at Abigail, who was very engrossed in talking about the design drawings.
His name is Archimos, and he is the most unpopular and only mechanical engineering professor in the Alchemist Academy. He is also Abigail's mentor and the actual owner of this laboratory. In addition, he also has a very secret little secret.
His identity is that Mr. Achimos is also a reincarnation from the other side, but he is a lone ranger, so he has not had any contact with organizations such as the Council of Sages. At the same time, he also tries his best to
To hide their thoughts and habits that are different from ordinary people.
However, due to many years of professional habits in his previous life, after Mr. Achimos came here, even if he accidentally became an alchemist with good qualifications and magical powers, he could not offset his desire for machinery in his previous life.
Because of this, the only unpopular subject in the college with almost no students joining was born.
Abigail's two magic steam-powered motorcycles were actually made by Achimos secretly guiding him. Of course, the reason why he secretly guided him was to see the descendants of this reincarnated senior.
The reserve and acceptance of modern knowledge. But unfortunately, Abigail's grandfather, Master Vermeulen who seems to be from the same era as herself, does not seem to be an industrial scientist, but a great plant
Study expert.
During his lifetime, he provided too many improved crops to the Principality of Michael. He also turned the once barren Bar Plain into a fertile grassland in more than ten years and provided the Principality with a large amount of agricultural and animal husbandry land.
Judging from the family education of Master Renkes and his granddaughter Abigail, it seems that Master Vermeulen did not leave much industrial knowledge to his descendants.
Of course, "fertilizer" may not be counted, because the other party does not seem to be a qualified chemist, so the great Master Vermeulen's research notes only have a brief concept of inorganic fertilizers. The main ones that are currently put into actual use are from the industrial era.
Organic fertilizer processing technology.
In his previous life, Archimos was a Belgian. Because of his love for cars, he went to work at a Renault factory in northern France at a young age. During that period, Archimos was just an ordinary parts worker.
, but due to the times, in addition to assembling taxis, he also assembled tanks. Even before his death, he still held a wrench and died on the tank platform that he had not yet assembled.
After being sent to this world, Archimos was deeply impressed by this fantasy world full of swords, magic, and even dragons and monsters. However, Archimos did not give up on machines, especially machines.
Research on high-speed trains. After growing up here, he used his talents to join the Alchemist Association, and tried to use alchemy to mix some of the industrial technologies he was familiar with to build a motor vehicle that belonged to this world.
After several years of hard work, it was not in vain. However, although the car was built, it was far from his ideal or even the car in his memory. Achimus was deeply affected by this, so he applied to suspend his studies last year.
Then he went to the Kingdom of Bolensis to the west to investigate, because he heard that the mechanical technology there seemed to be very developed, and judging from some crude industrial products there, it seemed that the Kingdom of Bolensis was also there.
A fellow countryman from the same era appeared.
But when Bolensis went there, he was even more disappointed. He did not see the industrial giant of Bolensis, because he felt that that guy was very dangerous. Especially after experiencing it himself
After the social atmosphere of the so-called "Bollensis New Era", Archimos felt that the fellow countryman seemed to be an incredible lunatic, the kind of lunatic who admired the mustache from Austria-Hungary very much.
Achimos had only just returned to Trikla City yesterday, so he didn't know about Erica and the others who had just driven away yesterday. On the contrary, he was upset that he could not see the floating ship of Argasburg.
He had been belatedly arriving at the school all morning and planned to report. But at this moment, when he passed by the laboratory, he saw the design drawing posted by Abigail on the blackboard. Although due to his impression and
There are slight differences in memory, but the four-wheeled motor vehicle in Abigail's draft obviously should not be the product of her own imagination. Apparently Abigail should have learned about the automobile industry from somewhere during this time.
some knowledge.
The reason why Archimos is so sure is because the car chassis in Abigail's design drawing is too "modern". Maybe there are still many flaws in that design drawing, but overall it feels like
It seemed to be more subtle than the vehicles he had assembled by himself back then, especially the very complex car suspension which was really rough with a touch of sophistication. This part alone made Archimos feel a sense of familiarity and elegance.
Unfamiliar industrial beauty. But relatively speaking, there are a lot of mistakes in this design drawing. Not to mention the very crude transmission system, even the power unit of this motor vehicle Abigail is still intended to be used from before.
That very failed "magic steam power engine", otherwise Archimos wouldn't understand why a single chassis was so big.
Although Archimos is a little itchy that Abigail has made this design drawing now, he has some other more important things to deal with at the moment. First, he needs to talk to Vermeulen, the branch president of the association.
Madam reported, and another point was that he needed to go to the Department of the Interior as soon as possible after the report to contact the Lord of the Night Owls, Hugo Backman.
Another identity of Achimos in the Principality of Michael is actually a secret agent of Night Owl. Of course, this identity is not too secret. Almost all the senior officials in the Alchemist Association know this, and even strictly
Achimus is not considered a formal member of Night Owl, at best he is just a private collaborator.
But what most people don't know is that Archimos has used this superficial identity to hide the fact that he is indeed a real Nite Owl agent. It's just that even within Nite Owl, he knows
There are only a handful of people who can do this. After all, Achimos's duty as a Night Owl agent is to use the identity of the Alchemist Association to cover up and go to other countries to gather information.
Of course, during this trip, he did enter the Kingdom of Borensis for academic reasons, and he did find some slightly sensitive information there that he needed to report to Hugo.
And just after Achimos quietly left the academy, inside the Alor Theater, the stronghold of the Judas Order, Alfonso was staring blankly at a severed limb in front of him.
This arm is the right hand of his friend Letterman, who has been missing for several days. There is even Letterman's inferior copper ring on the fingertips of this bloody hand. This thing is his wedding ring, and it can also confirm this broken arm.
The true identity of the limb.
In fact, Alfonso has been sitting in the theater staring at this handwriting for most of the day. Last night, a Nite Owl agent sent this severed limb to him for identity verification. From then on, Alfonso
He has been sitting there until now.
To be honest, Alfonso's mind is still blank until now, because he has no intention of accepting Letterman's death, which is why he looks at this arm in a state of mental sluggishness.
At this moment, Cotan happened to arrive at the theater carrying a simple lunch, but even when he walked in and placed the plate opposite Alfonso, there was no reaction from him.
Cotan knew very well how bad the other party's state was, but in fact, although Alfonso acted so sluggishly, he could still hear the movement outside subconsciously. For this reason, Cotan did not leave immediately after putting down the food.
Instead, he slowly went out and brought in another piece of food. Then he sat directly opposite Alfonso and drank the wheat porridge with a small spoon.
"Did you know? In fact, death is not the end." Ke Tan muttered to himself while drinking porridge: "And after death, the soul will actively peel off the body, but the soul will not disappear immediately, and
He will wander around the mortal world for some time, and finally he will take the initiative or be led to another world by an emissary..."
Alfonso still didn't seem to show any reaction to Cotan's words, but Cotan understood the other person's state from the details of the slight twitch in the corner of his eye.
"No one knows what will happen to the soul after entering the underworld, because those who know basically can't come back. But there are some legends in ancient times, that is, the soul of the deceased will experience some things in that world, and finally...
Will return to the mortal world again." As Ketan said this, he suddenly heard some slight rustling sounds. He looked up and saw that Alfonso was looking at him, and then he continued calmly.
While drinking, he said: "People at that time were said to talk about this kind of ride and be reborn again, but in fact those so-called resurrected people would not have any previous memories and experiences, they would just be souls carried by new bodies and given new lives.
It’s just life.”
"Do you know the resurrection spell?" Alfonso asked hoarsely, pulling at his dry throat.
"Resurrection spell? Hey, you really asked the right person." Cotan smiled at Alfonso without hesitation, then picked up the bowl and drank the remaining wheat porridge quickly in one go, and finally put the empty bowl into the bowl.
He put it on the table and wiped his mouth with a towel and responded: "No."
Alfonso was obviously stimulated by the other party's response, but just when he was a little annoyed, he saw Cotan still looking at him with that unpleasant smile, but there was no Alfonso in his eyes.
It wasn't the kind of teasing or ridicule that Suo had expected, but with a hint of sympathy that was a little unfamiliar to him.
"If you had asked me two days ago, maybe I would have said 'maybe', but now that you are asking, I can only tell you the real answer truthfully." Ke Tan looked at someone behind him with a half-smile.
Because this was the original warehouse located inside the theater. Although it was later repaired, some messy items were still stored there. Two large bathtubs could also be seen in a corner.
Ke Tan glanced at the bathtub before turning back to Alfonso and said: "Do you remember that thing? It was the thing we were using on the stage when you guys came out of the hole that night. Although we brushed it several times,
I have just washed away most of the dirt on it, but I think you can still smell a trace of blood after staying here for so long."
As soon as Cotan finished speaking, he glanced at the broken arm opposite Alfonso. Then he sighed softly and went to a nearby box to find an inexplicably gorgeous robe, which seemed to be from that night's ceremony.
The one worn on Anna. Cotan walked up to Alfonso with the robe, and then wrapped the severed limb whose blood had solidified and even smelled a little stinky in the robe and placed it on the
To be continued...
