Chapter Ninety-Five: The Witchcraft Garden and the Legendary Battleship!

On the same day, the Royal Medical Society's "Hippoclark Order of the Second Degree" and two newspapers with the publication of "scurvy" being solved by the naval lieutenant were sent to Aven.

They were the Bekele Post, which represented the mouthpiece of the kingdom, and the Voyager Daily, which had great influence among sailors, navigators, and even pirates.

Both newspapers extolled the greatness of this solution and its inventor, Major Evan Garrot, in large text on the main pages.

While the fame is quietly spreading, Evan also has a new label on him. Finally, it is no longer the down-and-out nobleman who can only borrow the afterglow of the family.

However, being in a relatively unfamiliar environment.

Aside from his fellow students and a small number of necessary insiders, few people could associate the name with the current student Aven, and it saved him a lot of trouble.

In fact, at the same time as seeing these two open newspapers, Evan knew that the upper echelons of the kingdom obviously did not want to be able to keep it secret for a long time and maintain their first-mover advantage.

After all, these methods are worthless and have no technical content. It's better to take advantage of the secrecy period to get enough benefits from your allies and get a good reputation for not eating alone.

So.

These two newspapers said it was for Aven's praise, but it was more for allies and potential customers to solicit papers... Those who wish take the bait.

Soon, in just two or three days, the news in the city was replaced by new information, and Aiwen's popularity also decreased. In addition to the people who are really connected, to the general public, it is like a pebble making a splash on the surface of a lake, which quickly returns to calm after a short stir.

But in one place there are people who clearly do not belong to the forgetful general public.

Port Newinn, an unpredictable hidden place.

The sky was a little low, covered with gray clouds of smoke. The space under the clouds of smoke may only be the size of an ordinary town in the outside world.

It's just that the scene here is anything but ordinary.

The town is like a delicate whole, with well-planned workshops as its muscles, steel structures as its bones, and raging molten iron as its blood.

In addition, the humanoid structures that are being massively manufactured in a uniform manner, the busy transport machinery, and the tall chimneys dotted together form a jungle of steel.

Although there are few real living people in sight, the busy scene makes this place as cold and hard as steel full of life and vitality.

The small space seems to be a future world that is out of the times, a construction town that truly popularizes construction and creation, and a human miracle created by great alchemy!

The second princess, Livina, is standing at the top of the steel tower in the middle of the alchemy town, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of a spacious study, looking out at the unique "scenery" that will be heartily shocked no matter how many times she looks at it.

It is a mysterious wonder that wizards call the "Witchcraft Garden".

The gray mist turned into a large dome that completely enveloped the town, completely separating it from the outside space.

Between the end of the line of sight and the land of the town is an equally grey stretch of water. Except for the strange color, it is no different from the real ocean outside.

And the most striking thing in this space is not the busy construction workshop, but a battleship docked on the docks, a veritable steel behemoth - the legendary battleship "Steam Fortress"!

The entire ship is silver-gray and is made of alchemically enchanted steel. The ship is more than 120 meters long, has a displacement of 5,000 tons, and is powered by the same magically modified steam engine.

The hull was not equipped with a single sail, and the entire deck was occupied by a dense network of alchemical artillery. The appearance of a hedgehog is at least more than a hundred at a rough glance, armed to the teeth!

Just moored there quietly, like a steel fortress floating on the water, the barren brain of a mortal could not imagine what it would be like to actually start firing ten thousand cannons.

This is the last powerful weapon belonging to the kingdom of Pharytis!

"Is this great creation really a masterpiece of mankind? No matter how many times you look at it, it will shock people from the soul. Staring at the steel giant ship, Livina had no majesty belonging to the crown prince at this time, her eyes were illusory and her mouth was muttering, obviously she had been impressed by this great alchemy creation.

"Your Highness, acknowledging greatness as a human being is not arrogance, but proof that humanity is no longer humble. The brilliance of human civilization will eventually shine on the world, and it will no longer be subservient to monsters, evil spirits, and even high gods.

The fate of mankind will ultimately be decided by the human beings themselves, and although the steam engine is just becoming commonplace, you may be able to witness such a great moment in your generation. ”

Behind him, the Duke of Princeton sat on a chair with a cup of black tea and said with a smile, his tone flat but full of confidence in alchemy techniques.

Knock knock...

"Come in. ”

The bloated caretaker in a black robe pushed open the door and entered, his hood now lowered, revealing a round metal head with no complete features, only three round sapphires set on it.

Obviously, this librarian who had received Aven's application that day turned out to be a construct.

It approached the Princeton headmaster with a newspaper in its hand, and said in its original mechanical voice, "Your Excellency, I think you should take a look at this. ”

"Oh, Major Evan Garlotte... The pioneer of the greatest discoveries of the last decade'...'Protector of the Goddess'...'A model for the soldiers of the kingdom'?"

Flipping through the front page of the newspaper, the Grand Duke smiled with interest on his face and asked the administrator, "I remember, this young man also submitted an application for borrowing, right?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, the preliminary evaluation is excellent, and the follow-up review has ended. There is only one point, Mr. Aven's family used to be a fief nobleman of Ilya, and is not a full citizen of the kingdom, so you need to personally confirm whether or not to issue a membership status. ”

It is responsible for the follow-up review, and it is naturally very clear about Aven's situation.

"This is not a problem, the 'Violet Eye' is not an isolated national organization, and with his contribution to the kingdom, it is enough not only to join the association, but also to become a full member.

Such a talent, even if it is a citizen of an enemy country, should be grasped in his hands.

Just issue it!"

Wait for the administrator to turn around and leave with the approval letter signed by the principal.

Levina, who was listening from the sidelines, asked with interest, "Your Excellency, is that Evan who defeated the runaway Wacker Wells?"

"It's him, every time I hear his name, I can give a little surprise, and I am very much looking forward to what kind of development this young man can have in the future. With another talent in the mix, Princeton is clearly in a good mood.

"Does he have such potential?" The second princess was a little surprised, there were not a few outstanding talents in the academy, but it was rare to get such praise from Mr. Principal.

Instead of going straight back to Livina, the old man asked her a seemingly unrelated question.

"Needless to say, there are many schools of wizards who may not have strong combat abilities even when they reach the official level, and they don't even have the extraordinary skills that other transcendent professions have solidified in their own paths.

Obviously, the wizarding profession is no more powerful than other transcendentals.

But why is it that wizards are considered to be a profession that can threaten the gods, and they are so suppressed?"

Seeing that she was lost in thought, Principal Princeton continued:

"The strength of a wizard depends entirely on the knowledge he possesses, and while he is not protected by serialization and enhanced by extraordinary skills, he is not shackled by serialization and will not be limited by mysterious sources.

In theory, they have endless possibilities and creativity!

And I saw that in this young man. ”

"Threatening the gods?infinite possibilities and creativity?!"
