Just an hour.

After a full circle of the manor's experimental area with Dr. Swelling and West, and an in-depth scientific discussion of the existing experimental equipment and research projects, a common topic has been found.

During the discussion, he slowly returned to the core laboratory, forgetting the existence of Han Dong, the 'big boss', for a while.

Seeing this, Han Dong is no longer worried about the situation of 'one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers'.

"Doctor, please give me some of the recent research reports, and I'll go back and read them.

If there is a new direction of experimentation, or if there is any problem you want to overcome, try it as much as possible...... It is expected that in a year or so, the [Great Expedition] will be officially launched.

I need a large number of special units to accompany me on the expedition.

In addition, I will also try to communicate deeply with the owner and introduce some steam technology, such as prosthetics, power cores or automation.

After all, this world has completely abandoned the technology line of [electricity], and has now reached a higher level of technology through [steam].

I'll talk to you again in a while. ”

Han Dong took West to the manor for the first time and met with Dr. Swelling, because Han Dong firmly believed that 'science and technology are the primary productive forces', and he couldn't delay for a moment.

Then.

Professor West in the glass jar also gave an affirmative answer to the laboratory:

"Everything is interesting except that you don't have [electricity] here.

However, my brain is nowhere near the level of a computer.

Relying on the calculations of the human brain alone is time-consuming and distracting.

If your world is dominated by steam technology, then the "Difference Machine" may have reached the level of a transistor computer, or even higher.

If you have the chance, bring a few extra large computers. ”

"Well, if you have any requirements, just mention ......"

In the remaining hours, Han Dong and Dr. Swelling had a relatively superficial scientific research discussion with West, and basically determined a research direction.

But the final research direction still needs to wait until Han Dong and Jin meet each other.

That's it.

After leaving West behind, Han Dong returned to the Holy City alone.

The time for scientific discussions was really fast, and it was late at night when I returned to the Holy City.

Breeze down the familiar Darkmoon Boulevard, bypassing towers and turning into backwater swamps...... Mia's little tree house is inside.

Mia had been standing by the window hours earlier.

Although she was often deceived by Han Dong before, she still believed that her sweetheart would not lie to herself...... Moreover, Mia is also looking forward to the gift that Han Dong brought back for her.

"True Destiny is full of dangers, and Nicholas even brought me a gift from the Destiny Space. Could it be that he really ......"

It was also during Mia's time of self-delusion.

A figure quickly stepped onto the drawbridge in the swamp, and before Mia could react, the door of the hut was pushed open.

"Mia, let's go."

"Ah...... Where to? Didn't you say in the treehouse? ”

Mia has about 1/2 of the space in her head, and she is fantasizing about the scene of the two lingering in the treehouse.

"Just made you wait in the treehouse, didn't say to be here all the time tonight.

Let's go to the Witch Academy...... There are special gifts for you! ”

"Okay."

The two of them jumped quickly between the crooked neck trees in the swamp.

Han Dong could clearly feel Mia's changes...... It's a lot faster.

Without paying attention, Mia had already pulled away fifty meters.

"Honey, do you want people to wait for you?"

Just when Mia slowed down and tried to wait for Han Dong, who had a physical deviation in her impression.

A translucent, barely visible tentacle with void attributes shot out quickly, touching the branch beside Mia......

Sou~

Han Dong has appeared at his side.

"Space...... Move? Han Dong's new ability directly frightened Mia in place.

Speed and spatial movement may be two different concepts, as if they are things on different levels.

Han Dong praised: "Mia, your speed seems to be a lot faster...... the full stimulation of the potential of the 'Insect Mutant' seems to have brought you a great boost. ”

"What's the use of being fast, how can it compare to your ability...... Can you give me a taste of what it's like to move in space over short distances? ”

didn't wait for Han Dong to respond.

Mia jumped directly on his back, and the thin black silk was attached to Han Dong's waist, hugging him tightly.

I have to say that Mia's body is really light, only about seventy pounds, which may be related to the physique of being a worm mutant.

Sou!

A series of transparent tentacles shoot out.

Touch & Transfer.

You don't even need to take a boat to the heart of the swamp.

With the ability to extend the tentacles, you can reach the central island 100 meters away...... Straight to the Witch Academy.

At the moment, it just so happens that a group of mystical students who specialize in witches are gathered in the academy to listen to witches. In Kaironya's course, you also need to perform witchcraft in front of the witch one by one, and you are not allowed to leave until you meet the passing standards.

Mia-senpai ~ Mia-senpai ~

In the eyes of this group of trainee knights, Mia, who won the last knight election [top ten] as a witch, is their role model...... They all addressed respectfully when they left the school.

But.

Whenever the gaze of this group of elementary school girls was biased towards Han Dong, they would immediately feel the killing intent from Mia.

Even if this group of apprentice witches recognized Han Dong's identity, they could only bow their heads and leave quickly.

At this time, the witch's voice suddenly came: "Mia, what are you doing here?" Is the Knights of Doom okay over there...... Well? This kid is here too. ”

"I've seen Mr. Kaironya." Han Dong bowed his head respectfully, and saw the witch dressed in black satin.

"Getting [two] talent points at one time, Mr. Black and White really recruited a good student...... Hum.

What's the matter with coming to me? The Plague Chief isn't here today, so if there's nothing to do, let's leave. ”

"Teacher, Nicholas he ......"

Mia was about to explain something, but was immediately stopped by Han Dong reaching out and directly stating her purpose.

"On my fateful trip this time, I accidentally obtained an ancient sorcery from a small island in Northern Europe, and I think it will be very helpful to Mia...... However, this kind of witchcraft also has a certain counter-effect on individuals.

So I'm going to let you see if this kind of witchcraft is suitable for Mia. ”

"A small Nordic island? Show me. ”

Get permission from the witch.

Han Dong looked at the witch through the magic eye, and directly passed on a piece of ancient witchcraft knowledge from Miss Jane.

"The Three Witches...... The Hidden Path...... Where did you kid get this!?

Impossible, how can you bring out this high-level witchcraft secret text from the fate space, the material transmission between the worlds needs to pay a "price", that is, fate points.

These witchcraft texts are far from explaining the route to the hidden realm, but they are enough to serve as a starting point. ”

The witch's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe that Han Dong could actually bring out such a high-value witchcraft secret text, and even give it to Mia.
