Chapter 58 56: Strategic Magical Device

The war situation was urgent. After a simple secret meeting, the three people left the city defenders' stronghold and headed to their respective battlefields.

Ryan personally went to the city wall to direct the battle to defend the city, while Evelin sat in the military headquarters of the city lord's palace, responsible for handling battle reports and personnel deployment for various armies during the war.

As for Nolen, his mission is to create a brand new city defense magic cannon for the army as quickly as possible at all costs.

At this time, he has a total of four badges on his body: one is the alchemist's Ouroboros badge, one is the armband of the 621 Independent Combat Force, and the other is the badge of the leader of the Knights.

The other one was the seal of the Bayhart family that Evelin gave him before leaving.

Especially the emblem of the last knight leader and the seal of the Bayhart family, which respectively represent the dual recognition of him by the highest military and political power in Linfeng City.

This directly transformed him from an "ordinary alchemist" and "ordinary soldier of the Knights" to an actual person in power who could call the shots in Linfeng City.

The noodles are filled to the brim.

"Lord Nolen."

Standing next to him was a red-haired knight, "I am Julius, captain of the sixth squad of the Knights. Following the orders of Captain Ryan, I will be at your disposal at any time during this period."

"Very good." Nolen nodded, "You go to the Alchemy Society first and gather all the alchemists who can help make weapons. I will go to my workshop to get the equipment blueprints, and I will meet you later."

"Call the alchemists and let your subordinates do this."

Julius called the members of his team to give a few instructions, and then said, "During the war, I will escort you throughout the entire process to ensure that your orders can be conveyed as efficiently as possible."

"Oh...it's really reliable." Nolen raised the corner of his mouth and got on the carriage of the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, as one of the most powerful people in Linfeng City, it was normal for him to be accompanied by a team of knights when traveling.

With the Knights team leading the way, Nolen's carriage arrived at the door of his workshop unimpeded. He pulled out the relevant manufacturing drawings from the laboratory, and when he left, he stopped by Luo Zhen's studio next door to take a look.

Luo Zhen was about to perform leg replacement surgery on Yuna who had just left the battlefield. When he saw Nolen "barging in" with a stack of blueprints, he couldn't help blowing his beard and scolding:

"Do you still have a conscience? Are you going to exhaust me to death?"

After he finished cursing, he discovered that there was a knight of the Knights standing next to Nolen with a kind expression, and Nolen wore a seemingly powerful Knights badge on his chest.

"Sir, please pay attention to your words."

Julius placed his hands behind the door and reminded him expressionlessly, "Lord Nolen is the representative of the city lord's palace and the head of the knights. Now is a special period. Please cooperate with us to fulfill the obligations of every imperial citizen. obligations.”

"Huh?" Luo Zhen's face turned dark, "Are you using this to suppress me?"

"Misunderstanding, I just came over to take a look." Nolen put away the drawings in his hand, "This is not a task for you, you just need to take good care of the White Raven and Valkyrie equipment.

"I will leave two people at the door. If you have any needs, just tell them directly and they will do their best to satisfy you."

"A task for someone else?" Luo Zhenqi asked, "Have you found other helpers?"

"The situation has become smaller." Nolen chuckled, "I'm looking for more than one or two helpers. I want the entire Alchemy Society to help me make weapons."

"Okay, why not share my work with them, I just have a lot of leisure time."

"That's definitely not possible. You are an indispensable talent for our alchemy team. I can only rest assured if I leave the secret weapon in my hand to you."

"Hey, naughty boy, if you have nothing else to do, just get out of here and don't delay my surgery."

"received."

Nolen waved his hand and left with the knights.

In the studio, Luo Zhen raised his head and glanced at his leaving figure, feeling filled with emotion in his heart.

I still remember the first time I met Nolen, he was just a fledgling "novice" who had just become an alchemist. At that time, he once made a bold statement and said to him:

"I worked my way up from nothing. I'm not afraid of wearing shoes when I'm barefoot."

"It would be better to say that heroes emerge from troubled times. Although the current situation is full of dangers, as long as we find the right way, it is not an opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune."

When he heard these words and saw the look in his eyes, he felt that this boy would become a great person in the future.

It turned out to be true. For more than a month, he had watched Nolen slowly build up his own power, and then joined the army and grew into the commander of the knights.

Hum, my eye for recognizing people is as vicious as ever!

……

When Nolen arrived at the Alchemy Society, the president and directors of the Alchemy Society had already gathered together under the arrangement of the Knights and were waiting for his arrival at the entrance of the society.

Seeing the carriage of the City Lord's Mansion stop at the entrance of the society, President Fast quietly said to Director Wilson beside him:
"Richard, Robinson... I'm familiar with all the alchemists in the city lord's mansion, and I don't know which one is here this time."

The commission from the City Lord's Mansion has high requirements and low rewards, but it has to be done anyway. It is a famous mess. This is a well-known fact in the Alchemy Society.It's just that Linfeng City is now at war, and everyone has a common enemy and goal, so they have no particular complaints against the city lord's arbitrary dispatches.

"I don't know who is coming. I only know that we will be very busy later." Wilson shook his head, "I hope the City Lord's Mansion will not arrange some difficult tasks for us this time."

Just as everyone was talking about it, a young man in black robe stepped out of the carriage of the City Lord's Mansion.

Although he is an unfamiliar face, the respectful knight team and the eye-catching knight emblem on his chest have confirmed his identity from the side.

"Who is this, the new alchemist recruited by the City Lord's Mansion? Why is he so young?"

President Fast murmured for a moment. Seeing that Wilson was in a daze, he tugged on his sleeves and said, "Let's go over and say hello to him."

"Hmm..." Wilson reacted and followed him forward with a strange expression.

Nolen looked at the group of alchemists gathered at the door, and was still hesitating who was the speaker among them, when he saw a gray-haired old man walking over with a familiar face.

Isn't this Director Wilson who helped him pass the alchemist exam before? What a coincidence.

"Sir, I am Fast Burt, the president of the Linfeng City Alchemy Society."

The grizzled old man took the lead and walked forward and saluted, "This is Wilson Mengsk, the director of the Alchemy Society. He is also the senior alchemist who is best at magic formations in Linfeng City."

"Nolen Vishes, you are here this time to issue an urgent commission to the society on behalf of the city lord's military department."

Nolen nodded to Wilson, then looked at Fast and solemnly said, "The enemy troops have arrived at the city, and our army is in urgent need of a batch of city defense weapons."

He handed Fast the manufacturing drawings of the new city defense magic cannon: "The war situation is urgent. I need the Alchemy Society to cast and assemble these parts within a day, and learn how to divide the work internally. You can allocate it yourself."

"one day!?"

Fast's hand shook as he took the drawing, "Are you kidding?"

The defense weapons are basically strategic magic weapons loaded with fifth-level spells and above. Just drawing a huge magic circle takes a long time. How can it be done in one day?

This bastard must be a second-generation official who got his way into the city lord's palace through connections. He actually issued such an unreliable order. Is the Ouroboros badge on his chest fake?

"I'm not kidding you, Sir."

Nolen looked directly into Fast's eyes, "I only need the help of the Alchemy Society to make the shell parts of the city defense weapons. As for the core magic circle, our military department has its own way to handle it."

"This..." Fast was stunned. He had never heard such a strange request.

It was as if someone had entrusted him with refining a bottle of potion. However, upon closer inspection, he found out that the agent wanted him to make the potion bottle instead of the potion itself.

Wilson on the side reacted quickly. He took the manufacturing drawing and glanced at it twice, frowning and said: "If this is the case, it is indeed possible to manufacture it in one day.

"But... is the size of the magic circle base here marked wrong? If I remember correctly, the size of the magic circle of "Sky Burning Flame" is seven meters in diameter, but the length and width of the base you reserved are only 1.5 meters. ah? "

No, maybe it's not a wrong marking, because the other parts are also about the same size, which shows that the finished product of this new city defense magic cannon was this size from the beginning of the design!
"The drawings are correct."

Nolen nodded meaningfully to Wilson, and then said, "Since there is enough time in one day, I would like to thank you all for hurrying up and make them.

"We are facing a formidable enemy. Even if we alchemists cannot go to the front line, we can still fight in our own way. Your hard work will eventually turn into a strong shield against the enemy. May the glory of the Roland Empire be with us."

After explaining many matters, Nolen got on the carriage back to the workshop.

He will not be idle while waiting for the Alchemy Society to produce the finished product. There is still a little progress before the Valkyrie equipment is completely "psychically induced". He must seize the time to make the remaining spiritual pathways and install them. Yuna will completely iterate her equipment before her next attack.

At the door of the Alchemy Institute, Fast looked at Wilson who was stunned, sighed and patted his shoulder:

"It's really uncomfortable to meet such a weird client. How can such a small-sized magic device be able to carry a high-level magic circle? This is too ridiculous!
"That kid doesn't know what kind of ecstasy soup he poured into the city lord's palace. He actually asked him to be responsible for manufacturing city defense weapons. This is completely defrauding the army! When the weapons are manufactured, they will be wrong. Don't let him throw the responsibility away. On us..."

"No...it's not like that."

Unlike Fast, who was worried, Wilson's eyes suddenly flashed with light, and his heart suddenly beat violently.

He remembered that Nolen had told him before when he applied for the project research that he had created a new magic rune system, which was currently in the experimental stage.

Combined with Nolen's current status in the city lord's palace, and the new city defense magic cannon he designed...

It is not difficult to speculate that his experimental results have been affirmed by the city lord's palace, and this new rune system has been put into practical application fields!

Thinking of this, Wilson no longer doubted and replied firmly: "Just do what the drawing requires, Lord Fast.

"If we progress fast enough, maybe we can witness it tomorrow morning..."

"Witness what?" Fast asked subconsciously.

"—witness a revolution in alchemy."
