Chapter 60 57: The alchemist who is more powerful than everyone else (please order first)

The atmosphere in the city was a bit depressing. The prairie army had surrounded Linfeng City and launched an attack. Even in the center of the upper city, the sound of horns could be heard faintly from the other side of the city wall.

Affected by this, people in the city were panicked, and the residents hid in their houses one after another, secretly praying that the city defenders could protect them safely.

On this side, after issuing an emergency commission to the Alchemy Society, Nolen also returned to his laboratory and continued to complete the production of the spiritual pathway.

He didn't think much about the situation on the battlefield, because he knew that the city defenders could hold on to the city wall, at least for a day, until he built the city defense magic cannon.

With the intervention of the White Raven, the barrier formation was not destroyed, and the Knights' large forces withdrew from the eastern front in time before the decisive battle.

Even if the firepower of the five city defense magic cannons is temporarily lost, Linfeng City at this time cannot be easily captured by the grassland people.

With confidence in mind, I naturally don’t panic.

The warrior is responsible for fighting the enemy bravely, and the alchemist is responsible for making weapons. Everyone performs their duties, and everyone has what they should do.

Amid the constant sound of trumpets, the fighting outside the city continued late into the night.

At the same time, after hours of overtime production, the laboratory door that had been closed was finally opened.

Nolen yawned and walked out of the laboratory and stretched hard.

Just now, he finally made all the remaining mental pathway mechanisms needed to modify the Valkyrie backpack.

As long as it is given to Luo Zhen and asked by him and his alchemy team to install the new mechanism on the backpack, the Valkyrie equipment will be officially iterated and completely evolved into a "psychopathic" control method.

Thinking of this, the fatigue on his body also eased a little, and Nolen came to the studio of the doll shop next door. At this time, Luo Zhenzhen was sitting in front of the production table and snoring loudly.

He was just about to wake up Luo Zhen, but Ai Xia on the side quietly pulled his sleeves and made a shushing gesture towards him:
"Dad performed an operation on Yuna in the afternoon, and then was busy with other things. He has just fallen asleep now, so don't disturb him!"

"...That's right, I didn't think it through." After hearing her words, Nolen smiled bitterly and scratched his head.

Speaking of which, ever since Luo Zhen boarded his pirate ship, he hadn't had a day off and was helping himself make equipment every day.

Although I was very busy during this period, the energy of young people is different from that of middle-aged and elderly people. In order to prevent the uncle from dying of overwork, it is still necessary to reduce his burden.

"So - if you have anything to do, please ask me, sister!"

Ai Xia puffed up her chest and said seriously, "Don't underestimate me. After working with Dad and Mr. Luti for so long, I can already complete general work very well!"

"Well, the work of installing parts is indeed not difficult, but the workload is relatively large, and it is also a delicate job... Maybe it is suitable to leave it to a girl."

Nolen nodded thoughtfully, and then responded, "What the hell is a sister? When did you become my sister?"

"Well, don't worry about the details!"

Ai Xia bared her teeth and said, "Hurry up and hand over the newly made props! I'll send them to the weapons shop to work with Mr. Luti to see if the new equipment can be finished before this morning."

"This is so reliable." Nolen let out a long breath, "I'll leave it to you, follow me to the laboratory to pick up things."

After the matter was settled, he walked back. Ai Xia followed him step by step and said with a smile: "So you can have a good night's sleep tonight, right? You haven't had enough sleep like dad recently, so you have to take good care of yourself. "

"I'm afraid I still won't be able to sleep."

Nolen smiled, "The people from the Alchemy Guild will be able to deliver the city defense cannon as soon as tonight. I still have to check and accept it, engrave the magic circle, and send it to the military as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a truck speeding from the other end of the road and stopped at the entrance of the workshop.

The ones responsible for escorting the truck were several knights from the sixth team of the Knights. When they saw Nolen at the door, they immediately dismounted and saluted:
"Lord Nolen, the first batch of goods from the Alchemy Guild has been delivered!"

"Move it in." Nolen nodded slightly, and then shrugged towards Aisha, "Look, I just said I couldn't sleep."

Although he had a helpless tone and expression, Ai Xia could tell that he was not expressing his dissatisfaction, and could even be said to be enjoying it.

Yes, Nolen is such a person, she has always known it.

The first time she met Nolen was one day when she was seven years old. She was playing with the dolls in her hands in front of the store and accidentally saw a boy about her age sitting outside the workshop next door.

The boy held his chin up and looked at the sky. She leaned over and asked in a sweet voice, "What are you looking at?"

The boy turned his head, glanced at her and the doll in her hand, and said something nonsensical:

"It's nothing, I just think the sky in Uptown is bluer than I've seen before."

She didn't understand what this sentence meant, so she automatically ignored it and asked, "Are you my new neighbor? My name is Aisha Kandel, what about you?"

"Me? My name is Noren Vishers."

"Hey, are you a relative of Mr. Rusty Vishers?" She was surprised. "Will you also become an alchemist?"

"A relative? I am his apprentice, um... I should also consider him an adopted son."

The boy turned his head back again and continued to look at the sky, with a smile on his lips. "Yes, I will become an alchemist. I will definitely become... an alchemist more powerful than anyone else."

At that moment, unlike those of his peers who only knew how to play with toys, his eyes looking at the sky were so pure and bright, as if a self-satisfied young man was launching a challenge to the entire world beyond his own capabilities.

Confident to the point of arrogance, yet so full of courage.

She thought that she might have cared about him from that moment on.

Although his face looked tired just now, his eyes were as pure and bright as they were ten years ago. She knew that he was enjoying this process.

Now even his strict father is very satisfied with him, and he can even easily mobilize the Knights and let the entire Alchemy Society do things for him.

He really achieved his goal and became a very powerful alchemist.

However, he kept looking up and forward, and he was almost out of reach.

Talented people will attract each other, Yuna, Evelin, and Dad... I don't know when, he has many powerful partners around him.

Looking at his back walking towards the laboratory, Ai Xia clenched her fists and followed quickly.

That day she quietly overheard the conversation between Nolen and her father. If Nolen's feelings for her were family affection and friendship, that would be fine.

If you get too close, you will be burned by his light, and if you stay too far away, you will feel lonely. Perhaps this distance is just right between geniuses and ordinary people.

But... even so, there was still a burning desire in her heart to refuse to admit defeat, urging her to keep moving forward.

She also wanted to tell Nolen that even she could do something.

Sister, I am also very strong when I am serious!

……

In the laboratory, Nolen watched the high-spirited Aysha leave with the spiritual pathway mechanism.

Young people are full of energy.

With a sigh, he closed the door, and then set his sights on the large box sent by the Alchemy Society.

Opening the cargo box, what comes into view is a slender barrel two meters long and thirty centimeters wide. This is the magic generating port of the new city defense magic cannon.

The gun barrel is fixed on a wide gun mount. The base of the gun mount is a magic array structural warehouse. The magic source is stacked on top of the structural warehouse. Above it are the sights and control switches of the turret.

Four wheels are also installed under the gun mount, allowing the fort to be moved.

Because the base of the array is only 1.5 meters long and wide, the size of this new city defense magic cannon has been significantly reduced compared to the old fortress-style magic cannon that was seven or eight meters in size.

Although its magic source is smaller than the fortress-type magic cannon, its magic source is designed to be easily disassembled and can be quickly replaced even if the magic power is exhausted.

The magic weapon also has a rate of fire when releasing spells. Not only does it take time for the magic circle to generate spells, but the continuous activation of the magic circle in a short period of time will also cause a large amount of unstable magic power to be accumulated in the magic circle and magic channels.

This will put a load on the relevant components, and in severe cases may cause damage to them. The higher the level of the magic circle, the longer the cooling time required after releasing the spell.

Therefore, as long as the magic source is replaced during the cooling interval after the turret activates the spell, the new magic cannon will theoretically have exactly the same power and rate of fire as the old version.

And because it is lightweight and miniaturized, its manufacturing cost is lower, the production cycle is faster, the maintenance cost is smaller, there are fewer personnel responsible for control, and the maneuverability is higher.

If the enemy forces focus their attack on one side of the city gate, several city defense artillery units can move to one side at the same time to concentrate their firepower for counterattack.

This is also an advantage that immovable fortress-style city defense artillery cannot match.

After checking whether the parts of the new city defense gun were missing, Nolen pulled out the array structure compartment at the bottom of the gun mount and placed the 1.5-meter long and wide array base on the ground.

Then he placed his hand on the base, turned the book of omniscience in his mind to the page of the sixth-level spell "Heaven Burning Flame", and said silently:
""projection". "

The light gathered, and in just a few breaths, a red magic circle with a diameter of about fifty centimeters was engraved on the base of the magic circle.

That's right, the perfect size of the sixth-level magic circle projected by the Book of Omniscient Knowledge is actually only fifty centimeters, only half a meter in length.

If it is this size, it can actually be made into the size of a personal weapon.

However, he did not do this. Instead, he deliberately made the base of the array larger and designed it into the shape of a mobile turret.

Among them, he had several considerations. The most important point was that even if it was deliberately made larger in size, compared with the old version of the city defense cannon, it was already small enough and flexible enough to fully meet the needs of defending the city.

As for the city defense cannon in the form of a personal weapon, he also asked the Alchemy Society to make one incidentally in the name of an experimental weapon.

This will be a strategic magic weapon that belongs exclusively to the White Raven and can change the entire situation of the war.
