my armed maid

Chapter 80 77: Maid in Black Silk

Under Nolen's supervision, in the evening of the same day, the Alchemy Society posted a poster for long-term recruitment of alchemists in the City Lord's Mansion.

In the future, Richard, the alchemy consultant of the City Lord's Mansion, will be resident in the society and will be responsible for matters related to publicity and recruitment.

After collecting a certain number of application resumes, he will host the interview session to determine the candidates.

The recruitment work has been successfully implemented. Nolen said goodbye to President Fast and Director Wilson with satisfaction, and left the society with everyone in the Knights.

The news of the new magic rune system has been revealed. He is also looking forward to what kind of sensation it will cause in Flamel City and what kind of impact it will have on the Roland Empire in the future.

As for now... let's let the bullets fly for a while.

Silently making plans in his mind, Nolen returned to his mansion.

He stepped down from the carriage, expecting Ma Enna to greet him at the door during his time off work.

As a professional butler, Maena has always provided such meticulous service. It was from him that Nolen truly felt the power and superiority of being a noble.

But the situation seemed to be different today. The person waiting at the door was not Ma Enna, but a beautiful girl wearing a black maid skirt with white edges.

She wore a neat pale blond ponytail and a white katyusa on her head. Under her knee-length skirt were her slender legs wrapped in delicate black stockings and a pair of black Mary Jane shoes.

The slim-fitting maid outfit highlights her exquisite figure. Although she is just a maid, her appearance is also stunning.

Nolen was stunned for a moment. The girl smiled at him, bowed slightly and said:
  "Welcome home, Nolen."

This is a professionally trained and exquisite smile, and even the slightly upward curve of the corners of the mouth is just right, making people feel comfortable without looking flattering, and giving people just the right distance.

But after all, the girl was only getting her first glimpse into the world of maids, and she had not yet fully mastered the control of her expressions.

This was the first time she greeted Nolen in this outfit. Although she tried her best to remain calm, a blush flew uncontrollably on her face, and her eyes were slightly averted, as if she was ashamed to look at the young man in front of her.

It is this vivid and delicate micro-expression that sets her apart from other polite servants, making her a stunning and special being.

This short-lived smile was deeply imprinted in Nolen's eyes. When he came back to his senses, he seemed to be infected by the girl's shy attitude. He was a little at a loss for a moment. He smiled dryly and said:
  "So it's you who's here today."

"Yes." Yuna nodded, and the shyness on her face soon returned to normal, "The uniforms ordered by the mansion just arrived in the afternoon, and Mr. Maena told me that from today on, I will be here to serve you at any time.

"Although there are still many things I haven't had time to learn from him, I will continue to work hard in the future... In short, please take care of me in the future, sir?"

Although I hope she can call him by his first name, it is undeniable that when the girl raises her eyebrows and calls herself "Master" in a clear voice...

I was really pleased.

Maybe it would be nice to be called "Master"?

Feeling as if he had accidentally opened the door to a new world, he couldn't help but trembled, coughed lightly, maintained his majesty as a master, and walked into the house without squinting.

When passing by Yuna, I glanced at her slender legs wrapped in black stockings.

Hmm... It turns out that the black stockings in this world are made of this material. The visual effect is quite good, right?

Using the Book of Omniscient Knowledge to analyze the ingredients of the black stockings, Nolen nodded seriously with an academic research attitude.

However, then he suddenly remembered something, and his expression slowly became silent.

What was wrapped under those long black stockings was not Yuna's real legs, but just a pair of doll prosthetics.

Although the puppet master Luo Zhen made the prosthetic legs look the same as real legs when put on stockings, the fake ones cannot be compared to the real ones.

He thought that this might also be a scar in Yuna's heart that could not be erased.

Keeping this in mind, Nolen came to his laboratory after dinner.

The day's work was not finished yet. In order to convince Flamel City that he had indeed created a new rune system, he wanted to prepare a gift for them.

This gift is the research project he applied to Wilson before - an "acceleration" magic circle drawn with a new rune system.

Moreover, he will not use the "projection" ability of the Book of Omniscient Knowledge for this magic circle, but plans to draw it himself.

Before dinner, he had already ordered his men to prepare the props needed to draw the magic circle. He placed the half-meter long and wide magic circle base on the workbench, then dipped an alchemy pen into the drawing liquid and began to draw the magic circle. Array.

The book of omniscience turned to the page of "Acceleration". He memorized the mysterious magic circle pattern in his mind and drew it on the base of the magic circle one stroke at a time.

In the past, due to his over-reliance on the "projection" ability, he rarely drew the magic circle by hand, so his movements seemed a bit jerky at first.

But because my mind can naturally remember all the details of the magic circle, as long as my hands don’t shake and I draw it slowly, there will be no possibility of making mistakes.

The second-level spell is not complicated. After [-] minutes of meticulous work, Nolen succeeded in one attempt and engraved a blue circle with a diameter of about [-] centimeters on the base of the circle.

You're done!

Nolen put down the alchemy pen and breathed a sigh of relief.

A half-meter-long magic circle base was obviously reserved, but in the end, a magic circle with a diameter of only thirty centimeters was painted on it.

If someone from the Alchemy Society saw it, they would be so impressed, right? After all, the current mainstream "acceleration" array has a diameter of two meters!
  Are the sizes of a thirty-centimeter magic circle and a two-hundred-centimeter magic circle comparable?

Absolutely not!

I believe that this "acceleration" magic circle drawn by him will drive them crazy to the point of doubting their lives after it is passed to the Flamel City headquarters through the hands of Director Wilson.

But in fact, this is still not the limit of the new generation of magic rune system.

Because the most perfect "acceleration" circle projected by the Book of Omniscience has a maximum size of less than ten centimeters.

Don't talk about others, just let Nolen do it himself. Due to manual errors, drawing tools and various limitations, the size of the magic circle he draws will still be significantly different from the size of the perfect magic circle projected by the Book of Omniscience. .

Therefore, even if one day the new rune system is completely made public, the small magic weapon made by him will still be unable to be reproduced.

As long as he thought about it, the individual magic weapon carried by the White Raven would still be a unique one even many years later.

Even if the principles of the new rune system are figured out, Flamel City will not be able to create a second white raven.

Because they do not have the projection ability of the Book of Omniscient Knowledge, they will never be able to touch the limits of the magic circle field.

This is also the reason why he dares to use this technology to trade with others.

Since this magic circle was originally meant to be shown to the people of the Alchemy Society, he did not encapsulate it in a black box this time. After keeping it, he sent someone to send it to the Alchemy Society. After finishing this matter, the plans related to Flamel City came to an end for the time being. Seeing that there was still some time in the evening, he couldn't help but feel excited again.

Speaking of which, during the period after the war, I was frequently busy with political affairs, but neglected my own job——

Research and create.

All superficial status improvements and political negotiations should serve this goal. He prefers his identity as an alchemist rather than just a politician in the city lord's palace.

Now, after experiencing the last few battles at the end of the war, the knowledge points in the Book of Omniscience have been accumulated to 280, which should be enough to ask it again.

What problems should be solved this time?
  Many thoughts came to mind at once, but soon one thought overwhelmingly prevailed.

It would be great if... Yuna could have real legs again.

If she could have a healthy body, wouldn't the smile she smiled at herself in her new uniform be brighter and more confident?

After wandering for a moment, Nolen quickly shook his head.

Humph, I didn’t want to see her wearing black stockings with her real legs, but I had a valid and sufficient reason!
  Although the doll's prosthetic limbs are relatively flexible, the problem of insufficient structural strength has deeply troubled him and Yuna from the beginning.

Although the lack of strength of the prosthetic limbs was temporarily covered up by air combat, it does not mean that this problem does not exist.

The White Raven is his most proud masterpiece. He doesn't want her to be able to fight only in the sky. The ground should also be her object of conquest.

If you want to conquer the ground, a pair of legs with sufficient strength is indispensable. It is best that they are your own native legs.

And with Yuna's excellent training talent, she will definitely become stronger in the future, and it is not impossible to become a sixth-level, seventh-level, eighth-level or even ninth-level knight.

At that time, the fragile prosthetic limbs would undoubtedly greatly hinder her combat effectiveness.

He didn't want to ruin Yuna's future possibilities because of this problem.

Thinking of this, Nolen no longer hesitated and asked the book of omniscience in his heart:

"I need a spell that can make people re-grow severed limbs, and the re-grown severed limbs must be able to move as freely as the original limbs."

Under his expectation, the book of omniscience soon lit up——

Immediately it dimmed again.

Does this mean...that you don't have enough knowledge?
  "No way?" Nolen frowned.

According to the rules he figured out, the knowledge points required to redeem one to six levels of spells increased exponentially.

Observing a fourth-level spell rewards 16 knowledge points, of which 32 are required to redeem.

Observing a fifth-level spell rewards 32 knowledge points, of which 64 are required to redeem.

Observing a sixth-level spell rewards 64 knowledge points, of which 128 are required to redeem.

Although I haven't observed a seventh-level spell yet, even if the spell I need is a seventh-level spell, according to the previous rules, I can deduce that I should only need 256 to redeem it.

My 280 points are enough. Is it because the points required for high-level spells after the sixth level have changed?

Or maybe the spell I want is not the seventh level, but the eighth level?

Because he didn't know how many points were needed to redeem this spell, Nolen was hesitant.

If it was just a little bit close, he could still improvise.

Just find an excuse to summon the high-level extraordinary beings in the army, and take turns to use high-level spells and combat skills that you have never seen before in front of you.

But this kind of behavior is a one-time transaction. Once all these point rewards are harvested, there will be no more knowledge points in Linfeng City in a short period of time.

Even if you can barely collect the required points, it is not safe to have no extra knowledge point reserves after spending them.

What if Linfeng City encounters another crisis soon and needs to ask the Book of All-Knowing for help, but cannot come up with enough knowledge? Wouldn't it be embarrassing?

It seems that it is still a bit beyond my affordability to redeem this spell...

Having said that, it is imperative to improve the strength of the white raven's lower limbs.

Nolen thought for a while, then settled for the next best thing and said, "I want a prosthetic material that can be integrated with the human body, compatible with the puppet's suspension wire, and can support high-level transcendental beings in battle."

This time, the pages of the Book of Omniscient Knowledge began to turn, and 64 knowledge points were consumed to reveal a new formula.

"Improved Knight Steel":
  The improved formula of Knight Steel sacrifices a certain strength of the material to significantly reduce the weight and is more compatible with the human body.

It still retains the traditional characteristics of knight steel, and its performance will be even more improved after injecting magic power.

It turns out to be an improved formula, no wonder it only requires 64 knowledge points. Nolen knew it.

The recipe for knight steel has long been included in the pages of his book. It is a very common extraordinary alchemical material. For example, the main body of the knight's sword is forged from knight steel.

Knight Steel is a typical composite alchemical metal. Its raw materials are mainly meteorite iron and mithril. Their common characteristics are good absorption rate and compatibility of magic power.

After the knight injects magic power into the knight's sword, the knight's sword can not only carry its powerful magic power, but also become sharper under the tempering of the magic power, which is also due to the characteristics of these two materials.

At first glance, this is a very good alchemical material. If Yuna's prosthetic limb can use this material, after injecting magic power into the prosthetic limb, the performance of Knight Steel will definitely be able to support the combat intensity of a high-level transcendent.

After all, it is an extraordinary weapon material.

But the original Knight's Steel was too heavy, which is why it was called Knight's Steel. Only with a strong body like a knight could the full performance of this material be fully utilized.

The puppet's suspension wire cannot pull such a heavy metal material, and its biocompatibility is not enough.

Therefore, only modified knight steel can be a material option for prosthetics.

By improving the forging process and changing the ingredient ratio of the formula, its weight has been significantly reduced to an acceptable range, and it is compatible with flesh and human filaments.

Even though the material strength of the improved knight steel has dropped to a certain extent compared to the original version, as long as you don't use it as a weapon, it is still completely sufficient as a prosthetic limb to support combat.

"Improved Knight Steel..." Nolen found a pen and paper and quickly copied down the formula.

Perhaps, this is the best way to make up for Yuna before she can regain her real legs.
