my armed maid

Chapter 116 Chapter 113: The birth of a legend

"I think there's nothing wrong with holding a ceremony now..."

As Nolen said, Yuna shook her head and said, "Give me another week, okay? I want to use this time to practice the operation of the new weapon."

According to Bach, after performing the human body refining ceremony, the body will be temporarily in a weak state that makes it difficult to move, and it will take a month to recover and recover.

If this affects his performance at the results conference and holds Nolen back, he will definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"Legendary-level results conferences cannot be held at any time. If it fails this time, the next one will have to wait until next year at the earliest."

Bach also reminded, "Especially when you know that someone will deliberately embarrass you, it is better for us to play it safe at this time."

"...Okay." Seeing both of them saying this, Nolen had no choice but to agree, "Then just wait another week."

In fact, he knew that what Yuna said about "practicing the operation of the new weapon" was just an excuse.

With her extraordinary fighting talent, she has never been able to control the alchemy weapons she has used so far, so why does she need to go back and practice?

She's just too sensible...or rather, she always puts him first.

Even though she was extremely eager to rebuild her legs immediately, if this might conflict with his plan, she would not hesitate to put her own things to the bottom of the list.

Ensuring the interests of the master are the highest priority - indeed this is the duty of a good maid.

Is this what Yuna is thinking at this time? ...Besides this, are there any other reasons?

All in all, since the attitude of the person concerned has been very clear, he will follow her wishes.

Anyway, it's said to be postponed, so it won't be more than an extra week at most, so it's not a big problem.

As a result, the matter was finally finalized, and the human body refining ceremony will be held after the results conference.

Of course, Nolen was not idle during the week while waiting for the results conference to be held. He is currently busy with two things:

The first thing is to keep practicing and consolidate your extraordinary strength.

Having just become extraordinary, my body is like a blank sheet of paper on the path of cultivation, possessing the strongest plasticity.

At the same time, the remaining effects of the extraordinary potion are still working, and Flamel's cultivation resources are more abundant than those in Linfeng City. This period of time is when his cultivation efficiency is the highest.

Now he is only a first-level knight, and according to Bach, as long as he persists in practicing during this period, he is expected to break through the second level within a month and advance to the third level within half a year.

Therefore, he would go to the Flamel family's advanced training room to check in every day, and he continued to exercise at night.

The second thing is to contact Linfeng City to transport the alchemy weapons that he has made before. These will become strong evidence of the practicality of the new rune system.

The legendary alchemist is a golden sign, especially the "youngest legendary alchemist in the history of the empire".

He once told Arland that he could achieve the same achievements as the master alchemist Edward Flamel, and that Linfeng City would become the second alchemy city that was not inferior to Flamel.

This is not his rhetoric, but something he actually intends to accomplish in his plan.

And becoming "the youngest legendary alchemist in the history of the empire" will be the first step towards realizing this plan.

This was a title he deserved, and he would not allow those with ulterior motives to block his progress.

If anyone dares to raise objections, everyone can rely on their strength at the results conference.

He believed in the White Raven and believed that the alchemical weapons he made would not lose to anyone.

……

The Roland Empire is about to give birth to the youngest legendary alchemist in history - the results conference is a big gimmick.

As the day passed, quite a few alchemists gathered in Flamel City, many of whom were alchemists under the Second Prince's camp.

In order to prevent the assassination accident in Broken Star City from happening again, Bach also specially arranged the residence of everyone in Linfeng City to the residence of the Flamel family.

This not only ensured everyone's safety, but also blocked many visitors for Nolen, leaving him with a lot of quiet time.

In this way, in Flamel, where all forces gathered and undercurrents surged, the time quickly came to the day of the results conference.

Before eight o'clock in the morning, Nolen woke up on time. After getting ready, he, Yuna, Julius and others took a special car to the headquarters of the Alchemy Society.

According to the previously determined itinerary, Nolen came to the president's office at the headquarters, which is also Bach's office.

At this time, someone had already arrived in the office first, and Bach was chatting in a low voice with an old man with white hair and beard.

The old man was dressed in a white-gold robe, with redbud pattern stripes on the edges of the robe, making him look elegant and distinguished.

Behind him stood five middle-aged men who were also wearing white-gold robes. However, these people's white-gold robes did not have too many patterns on their robes. They seemed to have a lower status, like the old man's subordinates.

Different from the old men, these five middle-aged men wear ouroboros badges on their chests that represent the status of alchemists.

Nolen took a casual glance, but was surprised to find based on the patterns of the Ouroboros badges on their chests that these five middle-aged people were all genuine high-level alchemists!

What kind of identity is this old man who can recruit five senior alchemists as his subordinates at one go?

"Nolen, you're here just in time, let me introduce you."

Seeing Nolen knocking on the door, Bach stood up and smiled and said, "You should know his name. This is Fred Rosen, the chief alchemist of the Roland Empire who came all the way from the imperial capital. Master Fort.”

Fred Rosenberg…

Nolen was stunned for a moment, and quickly recalled the information related to this name in his mind.

He did know Fred, or almost every alchemist knew his name, because his name was printed in alchemy textbooks.

Fred Rosenberg - He is the first legendary alchemist certified by the society after the founding of the Roland Empire. He is currently working for the Roland royal family and is over ninety years old this year.

Of course, because Fred himself is a high-level knight and takes good care of himself, his spirit is no different from that of an ordinary old man in his sixties.

Speaking of Fred, he is a legendary figure who is a leader in applied science, and his most famous contribution in the field of alchemy is the invention of the composite alchemical metal-Knight Steel.

That's right, he invented the knight steel that is now widely used as a weapon material by knights in the Roland Empire.

Knight steel is loved by the majority of knights for its relatively low cost and relatively high strength. Its advent has almost subverted the previous knights' choice of weapon materials.

Not to mention other research results, just the importance of the invention of knight steel to knights and its influence on future generations is enough to make Fred an undoubted legendary alchemist.

This is a real boss-level figure! "It's actually Master Fred." Nolen bowed and saluted, "I am Nolen Viches, an alchemist from Peak City. It is my honor to meet you."

"No need to be formal." Fred smiled and raised his hand.

"I heard Bach say that your contribution in the field of magic circle science is unparalleled. I came all the way from the imperial capital this time just to see your alchemy achievements.

"However, today's situation is weird. There are countless pairs of eyes staring at you secretly. I'm afraid today's press conference will not be too smooth... Are you ready to face doubts?"

"Yes." Nolen nodded, "I will do my best."

"Very good." Fred stood up and patted his shoulder with satisfaction, "Just go ahead and do it. I believe Bach won't miss it. I will help take care of you at the meeting this time."

Nolen was stunned for a moment: "Thank you so much, Master."

"It's a small matter." Fred said warmly, "We will have the opportunity to meet in the future, so I won't disturb you to prepare today.

"Bach, I'll take my leave now."

"Master, walk slowly."

Bach sent Fred and his men out, then smiled at Nolen, "How does it feel to meet a senior figure in the books for the first time?"

"It's quite an honor." Nolen thought for a while and said, "Master Fred is very kind and amiable. I feel like I will be able to get in touch with him very well."

Although I knew that there would be big names appearing at today's press conference, the feeling was still different when I saw the legendary figures who could only be seen in books before.

"That's wrong. Fred used to be famous for his bad temper." Bach smiled. "The reason why he is kind to you is because you are from his side."

"That's it." Nolen made it clear.

Putting aside his legendary status, Fred was also the chief alchemist of the imperial capital, so he was considered to be from the great prince's camp.

When he received inexplicable ill will because of his political leanings in Linfeng City, he also gained the support and friendship of another group of people.

"Master Fred just talked to me."

Bach said, “If today, these alchemical weapons developed based on the new rune system can be approved by him——

"He can represent Roland II, His Highness Robert, to purchase alchemy weapons from Linfeng City in large quantities for armies from all over the empire. In other words, your invention will become the official armament weapon of the empire's army in the future.

"In this way, your research results will be promoted by the Roland Empire and quickly widely used like Knight Steel. With this influence, you will become a truly legendary alchemist."

"This is too far-reaching."

Nolen's face became strange: "Where are we now? Linfeng City does not have the capacity to mass produce so many alchemical weapons."

Even if mass production begins, it will be given priority to the army in Linfeng City.

Moreover, before the end of the imperial civil war, apart from providing some to Flamel in appropriate amounts, he actually did not expect his alchemical weapons to be widely equipped by most of the imperial army so quickly.

It is necessary to maintain a certain degree of arms leadership. Besides, the smell of gunfire is so heavy now. No one knows whether these weapons provided to "friendly forces" will eventually be aimed at themselves.

There are so many famous people, so how to communicate and mediate with the people of the royal family in the imperial capital seems to be a problem that I will have to face in the future.

"It's not too late to talk about the future."

Bach glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "We still have ten minutes, you should be ready."

"Of course." Nolen nodded and began to meditate with his eyes closed.

Although this results conference is open to all peers, only senior and legendary alchemists are eligible to receive invitations to enter the venue.

According to last night's statistics, excluding the referee seats of the Alchemy Society, a total of 308 senior alchemists participated in the press conference today.

More than three hundred people may not seem like many, but these are all high-level alchemists, the elite among the elite in the alchemy world.

Judging from the ratio of alchemy apprentices, alchemists, and senior alchemists, they are even rarer than high-level inheritors.

In fact, the more than 300 people who came to the scene today have reached nearly half of the number of senior alchemists registered in the Roland Empire.

Everyone present will have one vote. After the publisher of the results introduces their research results, they have the right to ask questions to the publisher and decide whether to vote in favor, against or abstain.

According to the rules, after excluding abstentions, if the votes in favor reach more than 80% of the total votes, it is deemed that the publisher’s research results have been recognized by the majority of people——

He is qualified to be called a legendary alchemist and leave his name in the history of alchemy!

However, this is not that simple. Even if I get the support of Bach (Frammel) and Fred (the grand prince camp), these numbers do not exceed 80% of the total number of people.

This meant that he had to win approval votes from the second prince’s camp, or at least get them to abstain from voting.

So, how to get them to change their minds?

The simplest and most direct way is to rely on unquestionable strength.

According to Bach, in order to vote down, the opponent must have a sufficiently defensible reason for the objection, and the publisher must be unable to provide a strong response to the objection.

Therefore, if the poster has undoubted strength and has defeated all doubts about him from the front, then the brainless vote against the post will be invalid.

What's more, those who can attend the press conference are all senior alchemists who are well-known in the alchemy world, and they also want to be embarrassed.

It is impossible for them to blatantly form a small team and forcefully point to black people and call them white. This not only violates the principle of justice, but also amounts to insulting the intelligence of everyone present.

And precisely because they couldn't openly oppose him - here was his chance of breaking through.

The office remained quiet, and no one disturbed Nolen's meditation.

Ten minutes passed quickly. Bach looked at the clock, stood up and said:

“Let’s go, Nolen.

"Let everyone know that a new legend is about to be born."
