“Beef! Fresh beef!”

“Rye that has not been contaminated! Cheap!”

“…”

Manolin walked on the commercial street like an ordinary traveler.

After the military exercise, the [Pterosaur] returned to the capital of the Elonut Empire, the city of Purvent.

Because Powell needed to deal with the remains of the three legends, the research work on the new profession was temporarily stopped.

Manolin took this opportunity to hang out.

This was the second time he had come out to hang out since he came to the Elonut Empire.

The scene he saw this time was somewhat different from the last time.

It has been a while since the [Phase Transmission Device] was turned on, and it has brought about considerable changes to the country.

Among these changes, what Manolin cares most about is that the ordinary people in the city now have some "liveliness".

Because of the large amount of grain imported from the Kingdom of Fafnir, ordinary people can also afford these uncontaminated grains.

Although the flesh of these ordinary people has not increased much in such a short period of time, at least their faces have a little more color.

If they were like skeletons covered with human skin before, now they are skeletons covered with living human skin.

Emmmm... It seems that the difference is not very big.

In addition, the biggest change that the [Phase Transmission Device] brings to these ordinary people is probably that they have some spare money in their pockets.

The trade route is unblocked, not only the specialties of the Kingdom of Fafnir can be sold in, but also the specialties of the Elonut Empire can be sold out.

It’s true that there are many things that can be used as commodities in this country.

Take industrial products for example, the competitiveness of the Elonut Empire can be said to be unique among all the countries in the Old Continent.

Even if the capitalists of other countries reduce costs and squeeze and exploit workers, their costs are simply not lower than those of the factories of the Elonut Empire.

After all, capitalists need to pay workers wages, and machines need to use [phlogiston] as power, while the factories of the Elonut Empire use "dead machinery" to greatly reduce this part of the cost.

...

Wandering on the street, Manolin was attracted by a store selling weapons, so he decided to go in and take a look.

This is a weapon store that is very characteristic of the Elonut Empire.

After entering the store, all he saw were bones, flesh and blood.

"What are the characteristics of this steam rifle compared to ordinary steam rifles?"

Manolin picked up a steam rifle on the display stand on the counter and asked the owner.

The owner of this store is a young man, and he scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"To be honest with you, all the weapons in my shop are made by me.

I added my own modified undead to the ordinary steam rifle, so that they have more power than ordinary weapons..."

Looking at the interested eyes of the customers opposite, the shop owner somehow felt a lot of pressure.

"Did you think of these things yourself?"

Manolin interrupted the shop owner's introduction. He weighed the rifle in his hand and asked the shop owner.

"Yes, I researched it myself."

Hearing this, Manolin nodded with satisfaction and asked:

"Excuse me, you should have created a new profession, right?"

"Customer... you have a good eye... I did create a new profession."

"What a genius, Powell, you have not made something for such a long time, but you made it."

Yes, that's right, the main reason why Manolin was attracted to this store was because he saw these undead steam weapons.

As a legendary [Mechanic], he could tell at a glance that these weapons were already "magic items" in a single field that was different from the undead and the machines.

What does this mean?

This means that the new profession that Powell and he were researching recently had been created by someone else.

Manolin was not very angry about this.

After all, it was their ability to create a new profession, and it was their bad luck to do useless work.

Of course, he was a little annoyed that he had been busy for so long, but he soon focused his attention on the shop owner.

"Did you really create this new profession yourself?"

"Yes."

"How about it? Be my apprentice!"

"Huh?"

The shop owner was inexplicablyThe plot is a bit confusing.

Who am I? Where am I? Why does the other side want to accept a disciple for no reason?

Seeing the young man with wide eyes, Manolin coughed a few times and said:

"I am the legendary [mechanic] Manolin. I think I should be one of the most qualified people in the world to be your teacher, right?"

"This..."

Hearing the other party introduce himself, the owner's stunned expression became more serious.

A legendary strong man came to accept himself as a disciple? Is it true? Shouldn't this be a plot in a legendary story?

"Ahem, young man, come back to your senses. There should be a lot of problems with this new profession you created yourself, right?

If you become my apprentice, then I can help you find the answers to these questions."

The reason why Manolin invited the guy in front of him to be his apprentice so abruptly is not that he has no confidence.

There are also guys in this world who create new professions on their own like the genius in front of him, but geniuses must also abide by the "Basic Law".

Even if they accidentally created new professions, most of the new professions they created were born "disabled" due to the limitations of the knowledge and vision of the geniuses who created the new professions.

And to complete these new professions, naturally a lot of knowledge in related fields is needed.

And it just so happens that Manolin, as the first legendary [mechanic] in the world, is naturally very strong in the field of mechanics.

With so many things that the young man in front of him urgently needs as bait, Manolin is naturally not afraid of the big fish "getting off the hook".

After some explanation, the owner of this weapon shop immediately prepared to "bow down" to Manolin.

As for rejection? What are you thinking?

A legend comes specifically to recruit apprentices, this is a temptation that no one can refuse.

Even the children of those princes and nobles will jump up with joy when they know that there is a legend willing to take them as apprentices.

What's more, the owner of this weapon shop is just a larger merchant family.

If his father knew that he had rejected a legend's invitation to be his disciple, he would probably break all his belts at once.

In a sense, being able to become a disciple of a legend is really a great honor.
