Chapter 9: The Witch and the Dragons

After a hearty dinner, he said goodbye to Uncle Raul and Aunt Shanna and left Uncle Raul's house.

Walking down the sour street with the smell of rancidity, walking briskly back to the house along the wall of the small building next to the street, opening the door and entering the house, turning around, closing the door, locking it.

Turning around, he rushed into the study next to the bedroom, pushed open a desk against the wall in the room, revealing a staircase leading to the bottom, and quickly descended the stairs into a basement located below the house.

He didn't even have time to bother with the unclosed study door, so he rushed into the basement and rushed to a clean metal workbench.

Grabbing some tools from the table, he quickly tore the clothes off his body, and at the center of his chest, there was a round piece of metal covering.

If you stand in the front, you can clearly see the intricate and delicate mechanism embedded in the chest, enveloping the entire heart from the outside in, and even through the gaps in the metal gears, you can clearly see the crimson slightly trembling heart inside.

Like every worker in the factory, Murray has some mechanical parts on his body, and unlike them, Murray's machinery is mounted on the heart.

Carefully loosening an air valve on his chest, a hot steam erupted from his chest in an instant, and Murry breathed a sigh of relief.

Today, he used force that should not have been used, causing the internal operation of the heart machinery to overheat, and the internal pressure almost broke the gears in the atrium.

Fortunately, I came back in time, otherwise I might have been the first to die.

"I heard that there is a mysterious country in the far east, where there is a more advanced industrial technology than the Solar Empire, which can process parts that surpass the precision of magical products, and with those precision parts, they can install machinery on people's hearts, use the weak tremor of the heart, urge machinery to improve their own strength, and even obtain terrifying power close to that of gods. ”

The sudden sound behind him made Murray's already loose heartstrings tense, and he turned to see Saria standing in front of the open basement door.

When Murry was stunned, a faint fragrance suddenly wafted into his nose, and when he came to his senses, he saw that the delicate face was already close at hand.

Flickering big eyes, the high bridge of the nose almost touched his nose, and the red lips of the angry Rulan were on the side of his mouth.

After a moment of trance, he quickly avoided it, and he didn't know what to do? As his heart beat faster, the machinery on his heart began to run wildly, and in a blink of an eye, the internal pressure increased again, and he was close to the critical point of internal pressure in an instant.

At this moment, Salia retracted her gaze, glanced at the surrounding basement and whispered, "Well, it looks like you, like me, are persona non grata in this empire. ”

With his scallion-like fingers, he pointed at Murry and said, "You are from the Dragon Kingdom." ”

He pointed to himself again: "And I'm a witch." ”

"Our ancestors have all brought about changes in this empire and even in the whole West, but now they are also being oppressed by the powerful Sun Empire, shouldn't we join hands at this time, go up and have a good drink, and talk to each other about our melancholy?"

"Huh?" Sarya's words made Murray look confused for an instant, completely unexpecting the other party to use such oriental words.

Witch? I see, no wonder the Holy See of the Sun God Cult will send a special Grand Knight Captain to personally arrest him.

If the Eastern Dragon Kingdom from which Murry comes is the source of the Sun Empire's mechanical industry, then the Witch is the source of the Sun Empire's magic.

Legend has it that in the land where the Empire of the Sun is located, the people who believed in the sun god did not know magic, and the most powerful beings in this land were the sun knights and sun priests who believed in the sun god.

Until a certain generation of emperors, when they went out to hunt in the Black Forest in the southwest, returned with a very beautiful woman.

And that woman is the first generation of witches, and it is also the beginning and beginning of the empire and even the entire Western magic civilization, and the arrival of the witch has brought the prosperity of magic to the Sun Empire.

Coincidentally, the person who set off the industrial revolution in the Solar Empire after the flourishing of magic was not actually a member of the Empire, but a mechanic from the ancient Eastern Dragon Kingdom.

The arrival of the Eastern mechanic brought a new kind of conceptual impact to the Empire, successfully merging magic and machinery.

Working with one of the great alchemists of the Solar Empire, he succeeded in building the first Differential Machine, which began the industrial revolution in the wizarding world.

Now, these two descendants who participated in changing the pattern of the Sun Empire and even the entire Western Continent were sitting around the living room dining table.

Capturing Murry's dodgy gaze, Saria smiled and asked, "You seem to be afraid of me, as a descendant of the Dragon Kingdom, you are actually afraid of witches?"

Listening to the other party's question, Murray suddenly raised his head a little nervously, but then lowered his head and said, "No, not ma'am." ”

Saria stared at the young big boy and continued to ask, "Then why don't you dare look at me?"

Faced with such a question, Murray reluctantly raised his head and faced the witch "Sariya" sitting on the other side of the table.

Looking at each other, Saria asked directly: "Why did you come here? This is the hinterland of the Sun Empire, so you are not afraid of revealing your identity and being sent to the gallows as an alien by those Sun Priests of the Holy See?"

Murray took a deep breath and replied as calmly as he could, "I just want to get our dragon back." ”

"yes, yes. Salia waved her hand and said, "To you dragons, nothing is as important as your dragons. ”

After a pause, Salia continued: "But unfortunately, the current Sun Empire is already unstable, chaos is coming, and you are coming now, I am afraid that you will inevitably be involved in those chaos." ”

Murray didn't feel much when he heard Saria's words, for him the turmoil in the Sun Empire had nothing to do with him at all.

Saria seemed to think of this, and then continued: "Moreover, it is said that the old fellow of the Imperial Royal Academy is working on weapons against your dragon kingdom. ”

"The Royal Academy is working on weapons to deal with the Dragon Kingdom?" this news made Murray immediately vigilant.

The Imperial Royal Academy, the source of the true strength of the Sun Empire, was created by the first generation of witches, and cultivated an unknown number of talents for the empire.

After the introduction of the mechanical industry of the Dragon Kingdom, the Imperial Royal Academy quickly absorbed the industry and machinery of the Dragon Kingdom, expanded the Imperial Royal Academy, and used the industry and machinery of the Dragon Kingdom to successfully manufacture a difference machine and analysis machine with powerful computing power, which made the research ability of the Royal Academy to a higher level.

For Murray, this trip to the West, in addition to finding the lost dragon in the Dragon Kingdom, wants to enter the Royal Academy to have a look.

As if to see Murry's thoughts, Saria smiled and said, "If you want to go to the Royal Academy, I can help you when I'm out of danger." ”
