my armed maid

Chapter 119 Chapter 116: I will make your legend a reality

"drop--"

The sound coming from the box on the second floor made the atmosphere in the venue subtle again.

Nolen raised his eyes and looked up, his eyes slightly condensed.

Those who are qualified to sit in the box on the second floor are the leaders of alchemy or legendary alchemists.

The so-called dean refers to a person like Bach who, although he does not have legendary research results, is highly respected in the alchemy world.

The number of legendary alchemists is even smaller. Currently, there are only three legendary alchemists still alive in the empire.

Most of them are old, indifferent to worldly affairs, and usually do not take action easily.

Therefore, the only legendary alchemist participating in the results conference this time was Fred.

And the reason why he came here specially was probably because of his status as the chief alchemist of the palace.

And this will also be the last hurdle for him to become a legend.

The influence of those powerful figures is no weaker than that of legends. If you cannot accept their doubts, you will still end in failure.

However, hot air balloons are difficult to control, can hardly withstand any impact, and have extremely low error tolerance;

This made Slok extremely hostile to Flamel and the Alchemy Society. His obstruction this time may have been planned for a long time.

"However, theory and practice are two different things after all. If you want to become a legend, it is not enough just to produce data in the laboratory. It must withstand the test of actual combat.

"This is a magic gun."

"It's unreasonable." Nolen shook his head, "The value of a single-soldier flying device cannot be denied with just one sentence..."

"What did you say?" Nolen's eyes turned cold. "You don't understand and you jump to conclusions. This is not the basic quality that a qualified alchemist should have."

"As for whether the practical value of the new rune system has been exaggerated, and how effective the new magic weapon you made can be in actual combat...

If in the subsequent equipment demonstration session, this set of Valkyrie equipment can really carry people into the sky in front of everyone, it will prove that he has made practical research results!

Moreover, such epoch-making research results are enough to earn him the title of legend!

"Is that true?"

Facing Nolen's declaration, Slok's expression showed no fluctuation, he shook his head and said calmly.

"You will soon know how much potential and practical value these alchemical weapons developed based on the new rune system have."

As he spoke, he came to the next cart, which contained a complete set of equipment parts. It was the Valkyrie Equipment Unit-1 that he originally invented.

Halfway through his words, he suddenly frowned and figured out the key.

At the same time, following the prompt tone, a gray-haired middle-aged man slowly stood up from his seat in the box on the second floor. His calm and slightly mocking voice echoed in the venue through the loudspeaker:

This is not the case with the individual flying device described by Nolen. Looking at the size of this equipment and listening to the name of this equipment, you know that this is a practical equipment that can be put into actual combat!

However, due to some special reasons, his research results were not recognized by the Alchemy Guild.

"Individual flying device? In my opinion, this is just another toy that looks useless, just like a hot air balloon.

However, although Fred had clearly shown goodwill to him before the press conference——

Slok also looked down at him indifferently, "It's not that easy to become a legend. Go back and study for a few more years. I hope you can come up with works that dazzle me by then."

The main body of the aerostat is an old-fashioned flying array, so it is very large and bloated, like a heavy turtle flying in the air. Both are more entertaining than practical.

While talking, the experimental benches and workbench on the stage were removed, and carts containing alchemical weapons were pushed up one after another.

Thlok Jaston was once considered the most likely genius to become the fourth legendary alchemist of the Empire.

"In the war that took place in Linfeng City three months ago, our army relied on this new magic cannon to defeat the enemy and end the war."

Next door to the gray-haired middle-aged man was Fred's box. Seeing him making a sound, Fred shook his head slightly, but his expression didn't show any surprise:

"Slok, he did take action after all."

Facing the audience of hundreds of people and the gray-haired middle-aged man Slok who was far away from him on the second floor, Nolen opened his arms without fear and said loudly,

Nolen pointed out, "By simplifying the "Sky Burning Flame" array dozens of times, the mobility of the current magic cannon has been greatly improved. It can not only carry out city defense, but also attack with the army.

"That's right - from the beginning of the new era, humans will use the power of alchemy to climb into the sky and conquer a strange world they have never conquered before!

"I would like to ask everyone here, can such an achievement be said to have 'practical value'?"

"This is a new type of city defense magic cannon."

"I still have some little doubts about it."

"And now, with the support of Valkyrie equipment, every warrior with a little training can fly - I think everyone here can understand what this means..."

Nolen then pointed out, "After the magic circle is miniaturized, the magic weapon can be lightweight and turned into a single-handed weapon for one-hand use. As long as it is equipped, every warrior can become a natural mage!"

He paused in his steps and spoke in a slightly higher voice, "And, based on the new rune system, I successfully invented the personal flying device - Valkyrie equipment!

"Since ancient times, the sky has been the exclusive domain of Warcraft and Wind Mage. No matter how powerful other extraordinary beings are, they rarely have the means to get involved in the sky.

"We have seen the results of your research and it is indeed an amazing invention...

"It's okay to use it to relax, but expect it to intervene in the battle of extraordinary people? I hope you can prepare a strong enough parachute for the driver."

But that doesn't mean that he can sit back and relax with the secret support of the only legendary alchemist at the venue.

Individual flying equipment...

"You are too confident in your work, boy."

In fact, alchemists of all ages have successfully carried people into space using hot air balloons, aerostats, and other methods.

Faced with Slok's doubts, Nolen responded calmly: "Wait a moment, I have brought my other works to the scene.

This keyword has triggered a lot of discussion. How to fly into the sky has always been one of the general directions of alchemy research.

Indeed, it is very subjective to rely solely on theory to evaluate the practical value of a research result.

Those who support him can say that it ushered in a new era of conquering the sky. It was definitely a great invention;

Those who oppose him can insist that this is essentially the same as the previous hot air balloons and aerospace crafts.

It's just a slightly smaller size. Is it worth becoming a legendary alchemist?

Because the current individual flight equipment has not achieved a sufficiently impressive record within the empire, although its value is theoretically great, it can still be said that it has yet to be verified.

And once there is a controversial point, people in the second prince camp will have enough reasons to vote against it.

Therefore, it is necessary to show the powerful performance of Valkyrie on the scene... right?

As if he could see what Nolen was thinking, Slok raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Since we both hold our own opinions, let the facts speak for themselves.

"I am also an accomplished alchemist, and I have made many research achievements in combat.

“But even though I have achieved great results, as most people can see, I still haven’t become a legendary alchemist.

"If you think you are qualified to become a legend, you can compare with me. If your research results can surpass mine in actual combat, I will admit that you are indeed worthy of the name of legend."

Sure enough, in the end, the subordinates still had to see the truth.

Slok challenged him in front of everyone, a conspiracy he had to accept. If he ignores him at this time, his opponents will undoubtedly be used to criticize him, and all previous efforts in this results conference will be wasted.

“So, how do you control variables?”

Nolen asked back, "After all, you and I are just alchemists. In addition to the performance of alchemy weapons, the strength of the warrior itself also plays a vital role in actual combat."

It would be meaningless if the opponent directly invited experts from the seventh level or even the eighth level or above to participate in the battle.

"Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you."

Slok laughed, "I will send experimental subjects with the same extraordinary level as yours. Are you acceptable to this condition?"

If Yuna joins the battle, will it be level six versus level six...

Nolen pondered and looked at Yuna who was standing at the edge of the stage without leaving any trace.

Yuna nodded slightly towards him, indicating that she was ready.

Nolen took a deep breath and looked at Slok on the second floor again, "I accept.

"Referee's seat, please prepare a real battlefield for us. We are ready to leave now."

"Humph..." After hearing this, Slok turned around and left, and the smile on his face was covered with a layer of coldness.

A few years ago, I was targeted by your Alchemy Society, and in the end I didn't get the chance to become a legendary alchemist.

A few years later, your Alchemy Society wants to promote other alchemists. Do you have my consent?

Counting His Highness the Second Prince's commission, today we will settle all the old and new grudges together...

In the venue, everyone began to leave the venue in an orderly manner under the leadership of the society, and went to the actual battlefield to visit the battle. Nolen frowned and looked at Slok's disappearing back, and asked Arlande who was walking over:

"Who is that person and what kind of research does he do?"

"Throck Jaston." Arland looked complicated. "It seems that he has some old grudges with the Society. In fact, I have told you about things related to him before."

"When? I don't remember."

"When we were in Linfeng City, I told you about the information about human body refining."

Arland said, "The history of the development of human body refining technology is brutal and brutal. There was once an obsessive alchemist who massacred more than a dozen villages and killed tens of thousands of people in total for live experiments.

"As soon as this incident came out, it aroused the anger of the empire, and the alchemist was wanted for execution.

“However, his disciples were not wanted, so most of them survived, and the most talented disciple among them was none other than Throck Jayston.

"Slok inherited most of the master's research results. In fact, Flamel's human body refining technology was acquired from Slok."

Nolen nodded, knowing that Arland had something to say.

If it is just a transactional relationship, this cannot explain why Slok is now at odds with Flamel and the Alchemy Society.

"Slok is indeed a genius. He not only learned the technology of human body refining, but also completed various human experiments and pharmaceutical preparations based on this."

Yaland said, "His research results include but are not limited to regeneration of severed limbs, physical improvement, bloodline hybridization, etc...

“Because his research results are so excellent, even if the empire hates his bloody human experiments, it has more or less adopted his alchemy technology.

"After all, you know that these alchemical results can actually increase the combat effectiveness of the empire's armies. Regardless of the origin of these results, they only need to be useful to the rulers.

"So, seeing his research results being adopted by the empire, Slok hoped to use this to apply to become a legendary alchemist——

"In fact, if we only look at the alchemy results, he was indeed very likely to get his wish back then."

"But he didn't become a legend in the end." Nolen thought, "Is it because of human experiments?"

"Yes." Arland nodded, "Even if the results are wonderful, his human experiments are not honorable after all, and they are not something that can be put on the table.

"Furthermore, his apprenticeship was also a stain on his resume, so the Alchemy Society and the Imperial Capital held private discussions and finally decided not to let Slok become a legendary alchemist."

That’s it, Nolen suddenly realized.

It must be an uncomfortable feeling to be someone who is obviously powerful, but cannot be recognized as a legendary alchemist by the world. He can only watch others using his research results while still despising him.

But...what does this have to do with me?

If you want to exchange alchemical knowledge with me in a friendly manner, I won't be prejudiced against you.

But if you block my way, I'm sorry, I won't tolerate you.

"No matter what, it's impossible for him to be kind this time."

Arland patted him on the shoulder and said, "But don't worry, you are a true legend. White Raven can easily kill even a seventh-level mage, so how can he be afraid of Slok's men?"

Nolen smiled, but his heart was not as relaxed as his expression seemed.

Use magic cannons against the cavalry on the grassland, use Gungnir against the powerful dragon monsters, and use assault equipment against the mages in Broken Star City——

The main reason why White Raven can survive a hundred battles is because it can use targeted equipment according to different targets every time.

But now, according to the information given by Arland, this time the enemy is likely to be a powerful knight who has undergone body modification.

This happens to be the type that White Raven is least good at dealing with. In the past, when encountering powerful and difficult knights, White Raven's choice was basically to escape at high altitude, slowly wearing down the opponent's endurance.

But it's different now. This is a decisive battle in the octagonal cage. Both sides must decide the outcome in this battle.

This was a knightly duel that could not be escaped, but he had not yet had time to make alchemy equipment that could effectively deal with this kind of battle scenario.

Moreover, the opponent is also a near-legendary master-level alchemist, so the equipment he gives to his men will definitely not be weak.

In the absence of equipment and tactical crushing, there is no doubt that this battle will be more demanding on the driver's own strength.

And just when he was feeling worried, Yuna came over.

She stood side by side with Nolen and gave him a steady smile:

"Please believe me, I will win."

Nolen looked at her. The girl's blue eyes were as clear and bright as gems.

"I believe you." After a while, he nodded, turned and walked out of the field.

Yuna followed him step by step, her smiling expression becoming serious.

You've done enough for me, now it's time for me to do something for you.

If becoming a legend is your goal, I will do my best to make it happen for you.

Because I am your maid.

Also the undefeated white raven.
