Seeing that Green pretended to be stupid, Mary didn't say much.

Although she interrupted last night's events, she could still feel that Green's relationship with Victoria had taken her to the next level.

I don't know why, the first time she saw this Viking princess, she couldn't help but think of that half-sister, with the same long golden hair and the same radiance......

It's just that she doesn't like her seemingly innocent sister...... Love the house and Wu, Victoria also made her not like it...... But now she's changed a lot...... Demanding, that's absolutely not.

"What are your plans for next year?" said Mary, shaking the glass in her hand and changing the subject.

Green raised his glass to greet the residents before he spoke, "The development of industry is inseparable from a large number of people and raw materials, so next year I plan to solve these two problems first." ”

"You mean plunder?" Mary frowned.

"Of course not! Times are different now, and it is clearly out of place for Vikings to be pirates again. We need a long-lasting and stable relationship, so trade is the best option. ”

"If we want equal trade, we must have equal strength! With our current strength, even if we count the dragon knights, for several powerful countries on the continent, we are not even qualified to talk. Mary reminded.

"I understand that," Green nodded, "but we also have a lot of other advantages, and it may not be long before we get past them." ”

"Muskets and artillery?" Mary shook her head, "although your gunpowder is magical, it is actually no different from the magic crystal weapon, and the other party has an absolute numerical superiority. As for the steam engine, I admit that it is an epoch-making invention, but this kind of power machine has been studied by the countries of the Demon Continent for a long time, but they have not yet achieved results. ”

"But didn't there be a goblin airship on the continent some time ago? I think it's likely that those crazy goblins have probably built similar machines. ”

"Countries on the continent also have research on this?" Green's eyes widened and he asked curiously, "What method did they come up with?"

＊＊＊＊＊＊

Disorganized furnishings, strange utensils, and discarded paper balls, Alvar Geffey pushed open the door to the research room and saw Master Hex, who was sleeping soundly on his desk.

The bachelor didn't go back last night!

Alva sighed helplessly as he looked at the two untouched dinners and breakfasts on the table, one cold and one hot.

Outside of the dwarven kingdom, there is little sign of a gnome, and he is one of them.

As a dwarf living in the human world, he has not only lived well over the years, but has also become an assistant bachelor at the Dragon Heart Kingdom's Stegosaurus Academy. All this is because of the great care of the bachelor, so that he did not suffer unfair treatment.

Alva picked up a blanket and put it over the Bachelor, and though he moved lightly, the Bachelor Hex woke up.

"What time is it now? Master Hexes asked, his eyes hazy.

"Bachelor, it's already the next morning!"

"What? Damn, I've slept for so long!" Hex exclaimed, taking the hot towel Alva had handed him and wiping his face quickly.

It's just that when he lowered his head and was about to sort out the drawings on the desktop, he was stunned for a moment.

"Have you touched my sketch?" said Master Hex's voice, agitated.

Alva shook his head.

The Bachelor had always disliked the fact that people had touched his things, and when he first arrived, he often provoked the Bachelor to be angry because of this, so he later remembered the Bachelor's habits.

"Has anyone been to the lab?" Scholar Hex's eyes were bloodshot.

"Except for a breakfast brought by the servant, no one should have come. ”

Alva could sense that something was not right with the Bachelor today, but he still reassured him, "Bachelor, let's have breakfast first!"

Master Hex waved his hand, "Let's put it there first!"

"I'm getting older and more confused, I remember that these runes weren't completed last night, and this morning I saw that they were finished, did I forget?"

"Little Gefei, you go and prepare, and we will now verify whether the runes added this time are correct. ”

"Bachelor, just let me do this, you better have breakfast first!"

"Alright, alright! You little dwarf is as stubborn as a dwarf. Maester Hex sat down helplessly.

He is indeed a little hungry now, and after hundreds of failures, those things that have been repeated countless times, little Gefei can do it himself.

Handing the carving knife made of adamantite to the little gnome, Hex ate his breakfast as he watched as little Gefei filled out the remaining runes.

The little dwarf's eyes were very focused, and the hand engraved on the Mithril Cylinder did not shake at all, and Hex nodded in satisfaction. In this delicate work, gnomes always have a talent that other races can't match.

......

After carving the last rune, Alva wiped the beads of sweat from his head, took the drawing in his hand and checked it again, and without any mistakes, he let out a long breath.

Although Mithril is no longer as expensive as it was back then, it is still valuable, and the slightest mistake requires a new one. This is definitely a huge waste for Alva, who has always been used to saving.

Master Hex had already brought the Mithril Conduit containing the Dragon's Blood, and after Alva wiped the metal powder from his hands, he laid the Dragon's Blood Conduit in it along the groove that had been carved.

I don't remember how long it was, but Alva finally finished the preparations.

Master Hex gave him an approving look, then took out a cut crystal and placed it in the groove above the Mithril Cylinder.

There was no movement.

There was no expression on Maester Hex's face, as there was still one last step to go.

He held his chin and thought for a moment, then handed the container bottle containing the dragon's blood in his hand to Alva.

"Come this time, little Gefei! Maybe this miracle will be in the hands of the gnomes, hehe. ”

"Bachelor, you ......"

"It's okay, come on! we've done it countless times, and we don't care about this one. ”

"Alright then!" Alvar obediently complied, seeing that Master Hex's was in high spirits.

Despite countless failures, Master Hex always finds some small pleasure in each experiment, and perhaps that's why he's stuck with it until now.

Alva climbed onto the wooden table and poured the dragon's blood into the groove where the magic crystal was placed.

Completely different from what happened in the past.

This time, when he poured the dragon's blood into the groove, the blood seemed to be alive, and after connecting to the dragon's blood in the Mithril catheter, it actually flowed.

Alva's hands trembled.

Maester Hex's beard was shaking, too.

The two of them looked at each other excitedly, and then the unthinkable happened.

The paper on the table was lifted by a pair of invisible hands, and then the leaves that seemed to be blown up by a hurricane wind rotated parallel to the tabletop.

More and more paper was driven by the cyclone, and the blowing paper was scattered everywhere.

But no one cares about this at the moment.

Maester Hex's mouth was wide open, and he wanted to cry out excitedly, but he seemed to disturb something.

It was a long time before the frantically spinning paper fell back onto the table.

The magic crystals in the grooves had long since disappeared, turning into a rising light gray smoke.

Master Hexus pushed all the clutter off the table, then replaced a magic crystal in the groove.

The cyclone has reappeared.

This time, it was a spoon that Master Hexes had thrown in.

Like a windmill blown by the wind, the long-handled spoon turned wildly like a fan blade, and in the end only a little afterimage could be seen.

The duration is much shorter than that of paper.

However, this did not affect the excitement in the hearts of both Bachelor Hex and Alva.

And they succeeded!

Successfully restored the whimsical designs of the goblins.
