In these days at the beginning of the new year, the doors of Donner Lab tugged at the nerves of many. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info No one knew what he was doing inside, and no one dared to push the door in, not even Cynthia, the dwarf sage.

From the act of sending troops to pick up a young apprentice in Pampelo School City alone, many people already smelled that "something was at stake".

The coincidence of the gathering of Alex, the patriarch of the Medici family, Ceoseth, the Rose Knight, and the mysterious sorceress (Lisa) in the city of fog adds another proof to this conjecture.

And what Donner said to Cynthia, about the fact that his discovery might change the fate of the entire Far North, is unknown from which channel it spread to every street in Fog City. As a result, almost all the dwarven gnomes were eagerly waiting, nervously and apprehensively waiting for some amazing news.

Equally nervous was William, the lord of Pamplo School.

These days, William has pondered the words that the Duke has said, and the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that it makes sense. If everyone could learn magic, who would study naturalism? In this way, it is difficult to say whether even the city of Pamplo can be sustained.

In fact, he has more worries about the consequences of this incident. You must know that the five series of magic gold is not expensive, once the figure is announced, but any nobleman who can bear the cost of magic gold will sooner or later become a magician, even if it is an insignificant lord, no, even those merchants, as long as the family is prosperous and the heirs are large, the strength will slowly become as powerful as the prominent dukes. Over time, the aristocratic system that maintained the operation of the entire empire was bound to collapse due to the rise of the middle and lower class aristocracy.

The more William thought about it, the more worried he became, so much so that he couldn't sleep at night, and he stared at Todd, the apprentice who had discovered the true appearance of the Five Series, for fear that he would reveal this ominous secret.

Later, he simply packed his bags and took Todd to Misty Town, where he joined Austin and waited for Duke Vane's instructions.

Under the fog town, on the top of the fog city, the narrow road in front of the stone villa has never been so lively, these days, Alex, Ceoses, Sarah, Cynthia, William and others have taken turns to visit, almost grinding the stone gate threshold out of the footprints.

So, on January 12, when Donner officially walked out of the laboratory, all the people involved quickly got the news, and in less than half an hour, they gathered at the Stone Villa one after another.

When everyone arrived, Donner brought Lucia, Layla, Una, Richard, Wesley, Cynthia the Gnome Sage, Grunada the Dwarf, and Lisa into his lab.

Donner was reluctant to reveal the core secrets of the Magic Engine to the Medici family, so instead of inviting Alex, he asked Layla, who was also fluent in Vantes, to act as Lisa's translator. In fact, he didn't think that the Medici family had the ability to create even the simplest magic energy engine, but he was worried that after the relevant information was revealed, someone would hoard secret copper and block the bottleneck of the development of magic energy machinery.

Alex didn't know what Donner was thinking, but he was comfortable with Donner's approach. First, Alex knew that he was just an outsider here, and second, Lisa, Cynthia, Grunada and others, who were invited into the laboratory by Donner, were much more respected than Alex, and he knew that he was not qualified to attend.

Of course, Alex was also secretly wondering what was going on in the laboratory behind the stone door at the end of the corridor, and could it be that this young but inscrutable Duke of Vane had created something amazing?

Thinking about what he had seen and heard in Fog City, Alex felt his brain swell a little, as if the world he had been familiar with was slowly disintegrating and would be reassembled in a completely different way.

He sat on the stone bench in the living room of the stone villa, trying to find someone to talk to, in order to get rid of the strange feeling.

Looking around, the two scholars from Pamp Academy City all had solemn faces, their lips tightly closed, and when the eyes of Lord William and Alex met, they obviously showed a vigilant look, and they didn't know what he was guarding against.

On the other side, Ceoseis, the Rose Knight, was talking in a low voice with a blonde female knight, and their eyes glanced at the knight continent beyond the cliff from time to time, and they were obviously not interested in talking to Alex.

Looking at the female knight's fluttering blonde hair, Alex suddenly remembered his daughter, who was also blonde.

He hadn't seen Ruiko since the Emerald City was gone, and now that he thought about it, it was thirteen years ago. If Rikko is well, she should be about the same age as this female knight.

Alex fell into deep thought.

......

In the laboratory at the other end of the stone villa, Donner stood in front of the workbench, and the rest of the people consciously formed a semicircle, looking at him nervously or expectantly.

"There are two kinds of magical power, either the magic crystals in the magic circle, or the magic elements that the mages rely on when casting spells. Among them, the magic crystals are already tending to dry up, as you should know. So, ever since I returned to Middle-earth, I've been thinking that since the magic element can be used by mages and turn into angry waves and howling mountains and forests in an instant, there must be a way to use this power to propel machines for the benefit of all. ”

At this, Donner paused slightly, his eyes looking around at the group.

Layla was tilting her head sideways to explain Donner's words to Lisa, whose eyes glanced at the strange machine on the workbench behind Donner, her face less indifferent than before, and her brow furrowed slightly as if she was thinking about something.

Lucia, Wesley, and Richard were decidedly more relaxed, and for them, what Donner was doing now was nothing special like miracles had been done again and again in the past decade. Una looked down and played with a circle key, not caring what Donner was saying.

Of all these people, Cynthia and Grunada were the most excited, and they had already taken a hint from Donner's speculation before his "retreat", and had a vague premonition that the fate of the Far North would be changed by Donner's next words.

"I thought it would take hundreds of years to get an answer to this question. Donner continued, "However, one of the apprentices in Pamplo School City accidentally discovered that the answer was delivered directly to me. ”

"That's right, the answer is hidden in the dwarven totem. Donner laughed as he turned around, picked up a hexagon socket for himself, unscrewed the Mithril alloy nuts from the magic engine head one by one in front of everyone, and slowly uncovered the cylinder head.

Behind Donner, everyone's eyes were on his every move. When the cylinder head is untied, the hot and cold air in the mixing chamber overflows, and water vapor suddenly rises on the side of the engine.

Donner waited for a moment to open the greenhouse completely, and at this time, the strange sight on the two secret copper totem poles caused everyone in the room to let out an exclamation.

On both sides of the gourd-shaped chamber, one of the secret copper pillars was burning red, while the other was covered with a thin layer of ice, and in the middle of the chamber, the condensed air particles were slowly melting at a speed visible to the naked eye, and slowly forming from close to the icicles.

"I haven't figured out all the secrets of the seven dwarven totems yet, but one thing is clear, two of them correspond to the magic of fire and water, and the effect is as you can see. ”
