Rod and Lena successfully passed the verification and reached the deeper laboratory.

The laboratory here made Rhodes feel like he was back in his past life, and it represented the current level of technology in the Kingdom of Sartre.

"Here we are, Professor Poundel."

Professor Pondel glanced back at the two of them.

"Well, that's good."

Rod suddenly felt that he had a feeling of being seen through, and his skin instantly raised a lot of goosebumps, but it was Lena, who naturally had no feeling at all, and looked here and there like a curious baby, and seemed to treat the laboratory as a playground.

"Come in."

Pondel let them into a testing device, and after a few minutes he kicked them out of the lab, leaving them with a simple sentence: "You can come to the lab tomorrow." ”

Walking out of the laboratory, Lena was still there excited, Rod was a little unclear why, maybe it was the difference between different cultures, Rod didn't think there was anything incredible about that laboratory.

"Then Lena, I'll have an appointment later, and I won't come to the lab again tonight."

Rod and Lena separated, but Professor Pondel looked at the report in his hand, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden, which was Rode's test report.

"I almost lost my eyes, I didn't expect that this was also a good seedling, although the wisdom is a little worse, and the imagination is lacking, but the intelligence is higher than most people, and there is that terrible magic potential, it's really good...... Humans can actually reach this level, this is simply a humanoid monster...... By the way, the test armor can be done by Rhodes. ”

In the evening, Rhodes met with Nina and Lisa, who were going to represent St. Mary's College and the Royal Capital Magic Academy, respectively, and were Rhodes' opponents in this year's competition.

"Brother, it's going to be a game soon, Tom should give it back to you." Nina reluctantly handed it over to Tom.

Tom, who had obviously become larger, was full of reluctance, she didn't want to go back to Rhodes to suffer, if it wasn't for Nina to take care of her this month, she would have to go hungry all the time.

"No, Nina, Tom should be kept by you, Tom and I have the same heart, and I can know about you at any time through her, so I can feel more at ease."

Since it is a confrontational competition, it is natural to avoid the smell of gunpowder, and the process of showing force and survivability, there are not a few students who die unexpectedly every year.

Therefore, Rod felt that it was better for Tom to leave Nina, and taking care of Nina was not just a commission from the original owner, but he also liked this sensible sister very much.

Nina hesitated to accept Tom, and only after knowing that Rhodes had 2S magic did Nina smile again.

The party ended in a pleasant atmosphere, and before parting, Lisa smiled mysteriously and said, "Rod, Bane has prepared a good thing in order to compete with you." ”

Rhodes watched Lisa get into the steam car, then turned to Nina, and took out 80 gold coins from his bosom and handed them to Nina.

"Nina, you take this money to buy some equipment, you must protect yourself." It seems like a lot of money, but in fact, you can't buy good equipment at all, but it's better than nothing.

Without waiting for Nina to excuse herself: "Don't worry, I have a kingdom-type greatsword and enchanted full-body armor, I don't need additional equipment, and Professor Pounderr also has a salary there, which is enough for my daily consumption." ”

“……。” Nina looked a little hesitant, but after a moment of hesitation, she nodded firmly: "I will definitely achieve a good ranking in the competition." ”

"Well, I'm looking forward to it." Seeing Nina disappear around the corner of the academy, Rhodes also returned to the academy.

The next day, Rod was awakened by the girl's scream, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a young girl standing at the door of the room, the girl was wearing a maid's costume, her face was red, and her hands were frozen in the air because of surprise.

"Ah......hh It's really rude. "Flee the scene at a rapid pace.

"Hmm...... Jill is still so easily shy. Tiffany sat up yawning, hunched back, her hair messy, as scruffy as she was, and a faint stench in her mouth.

Rod shook his head helplessly, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that behind every goddess, there must be a female hooligan and a sloppy woman.

"Little Rod, you're not good again, I want a good morning kiss." Tiffany flew at Rod, but was pressed to his chest with the palm of his hand: "Ah, little Rod is bad." ”

"Sister Tiffany, even if you are busy with work, you can't forget to supplement vitamins, you already have bad breath." That's right, the daily life of the Academy Goddess is also accompanied by problems such as bad breath and going to the toilet.

"No......." Tiffany carefully blew into the palm of her hand: "It's actually true!" The stench made Tiffany jump and run straight into the bathroom.

It was only at this time that Rhodes discovered the benefits of demons, which can regulate their physiological conditions independently, not to mention the problems of bad breath and foot odor, even if they don't wash their faces, the cleanliness is better than that of most people.

Sighing and walking down the stairs, breakfast was already ready on the table, and the maid Jill stood next to her with a blushing face, not daring to look at Rod.

"Jill, I haven't seen you in January, and you still haven't changed." Rod looked at the maid with a smile.

The maid Jill, who has low self-esteem, is timid, and emotional, but has enough strength to protect herself.

This is Rhodes' tentative first energy provider, or demon believer.

Low self-esteem, timidity and emotional richness, these three factors provide the energy base, good strength represents a tenacious will, which can multiply the energy, so in terms of energy value alone, Jill alone is equivalent to several professionals of the same level.

"Woo...... Rhodes bullies! Jill lowered her head and whined into a small animal sound.

At this moment, Tiffany, who had reverted to being the goddess of the academy, came down from the upper floor and sat directly down at the dining table.

"Okay, let's hurry up and eat, I also need to help the mentor today, let's go together later."

Rhodes also began to eat, the demonic godhead was not finished yet, it was a little too early to say anything, Jill was a meal ticket worth developing for a long time, he would not eat it all at once.

When Rod and Tiffany entered the laboratory, Lena was already "busy" there, looking left and right, all the equipment was touched by Lena, and she was still muttering when she stroked it.

Rhodes listened closely, and it turned out that he was talking about the names and functions of these devices, and more than half of them Rhodes couldn't understand ......, because Rhodes' expertise was close to that of his parents who were researchers in this life, and they were mainly living creatures, and they didn't have much knowledge of machinery.

Tiffany told the two to wait, and after a while, electronic tones rang out from all over the room, and it was Tiffany speaking through the microphone.

"Rod and Lena, you two now go into the preparation room, take off all your clothes first, and walk slowly through the corridor, where there are special clothes for you."

Rod walked into the corridor as he said, and the dense disinfection device made Rod frown, and suddenly felt like he had entered the villain's lair, three layers on the left and three layers on the right, eager to strip off the old bottoms of the entrants.

"It's ......."

Tiffany seemed to know what Rhodes was going to say, and directly interrupted Rhodes' words: "Since you are here, it doesn't hurt to tell you, you should know why the three empires are strong, right?" ”

Rod was still thinking about it, and Lena's voice was already coming to his ears from all around.

"Of course, it is because the three empires have incredible magic technology, their soldiers are all wearing battle armor, generals and even drivers are tall knight armor, it is rumored that the soldiers of the three empires can even kill the high-level warriors of the kingdom."

Rhodes finally remembered these things, and he remembered that when he was a child, he had read a paper about Warframe in his parents' collection.

"Yes, this is the purpose of your visit today, other countries in the continent have never given up the technology of making battle armors, this time you came, it has a lot to do with it, by the way, in fact, you are all specially selected talents, and you will be destined to enter here from the beginning."

Rod rolled his eyes, the ghost believed, Lena should be right like this, but he definitely came in through Tiffany's back door, and it must be because of his magic at this time.

At the end, she put on a wide costume and walked out of the corridor, and on the other side, Lena also walked out of the corridor wearing the same costume, and besides, there were only two people in the laboratory, Poundle and Tiffany, and no one else.

Sure enough, what he estimated with Rod was not wrong, the part he was responsible for was to carry out various operations, experiment with the operation of various parts of the armor, and Tiffany and Lena were the main forces to assist Pondel.

At the same time, Rhodes also gained a lot of insight in the process, the original armor used mechanical power, in order to reduce the difficulty and cost of manufacturing, and tried to use machinery to simplify the difficulty of operation, which is different from the ancient armor, he also understood why Professor Pondel praised his intelligent core, because it can simplify the operation.

He has read a lot of books about ancient magisters, ancient magisters will make stones or other materials into the desired shape, and then use powerful magic to give power and wisdom to the stone statue, this kind of stone statue has no mechanical structure in the body, and the action is all by magic, known as the statue of walking independently, Rhodes simply translates it as a construct.

The construct is intimidating, loyal, immune to spells, perpetuated, etc., but it takes a lot of resources and time to make it.

And even if they intend to spend resources and time, it is actually difficult to create a construct, because most of the modern magisters have abandoned the primitive and disordered ancient magic, and they are no longer capable of making constructs, and those fabrication materials and texts can only be piled up in the corners of the library, and even if they are given to them, they are just a bunch of unintelligible books.

……

At the same time, while Rhodes was assisting Professor Poundel in his experiments day and night in the laboratory, someone knelt down on one knee in a dark room somewhere in the kingdom of Sartre to report to the person sitting in the chair.

"Lord Heimi, the snake lizard scroll has been bought by the eldest young master of the Li'an family,, considering the Li'an family, our people did not refuse him, do we have to pay attention to the other party's purpose." Even in the three empires, the snake and lizard scrolls are contraband, usually only used in foreign wars, and are usually classified as strategic weapons.

"It's okay, he's probably going to deal with that Wang Lit named Rhodes and other freshmen ...... academy." The person who was called Heimi was shrouded in black mist, and his hoarse voice came out, and the voice of a man and a woman sounded at the same time, making it impossible to judge the gender of this person.

But unexpectedly, there was a faint sense of melancholy in his voice.

"Huh...... I didn't expect that the couple's children would grow to such a point, which was really beyond my expectations, and it was very different from the results I expected. In his calculations, Rhodes could only become a high-level professional at most, and could neither enter Wang Lit and other colleges, nor would he become one of the top ten freshmen.

The person kneeling on the ground was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered Rod's intelligence: "Heimi-sama, do we take the initiative to eliminate this threat, the intelligence mentions that the other party is a genius researcher no less than his parents, and he has transformed his own magic eye - the eye of deconstruction" in the first month of school. ”

"Isn't it fun not to have to go through the hassle."

"Unexpected factors...... How long has it been since it appeared? ”

"Hehehe!"

Kuromi's hoarse laughter was like the roar of the dead, and the black mist gradually enveloped her body and gradually disappeared into the room.
