97: Give you a little alchemy shock
Three days passed, and the City Lord's Mansion formed a group of emissaries headed by Noren, ready to go to Flamel with Aland.
In addition to Nolan and his personal maid Yuna, there were also two seventh-order knights of the Knights, Julius and Agat, and a sixth-order water mage Watson as escorts, all of whom were strong men at the captain level of the Knights' squad.
In addition, several members of the Order of Knights disguised as servants followed the carriage, and this escort force was not without luxury.
Under the limitation of the number and size of the envoy group, this is already the highest-level escort force that Peak City can prepare for Noren.
In the morning, Noren took Yuna to the City Lord's Mansion and gathered with Evelyn, Julius, and others.
"Yo, General Staff."
Julius raised his hand and greeted Noren, "We'll be your escort on this journey, so let your heart go!" β
"Hmm." There had been a few collaborations before, and Julius was also an acquaintance of his in the Knights, and Nolen smiled at him and nodded, "Then please." β
With that, he walked in the direction of Evelyn, and Yuna followed Noren's pace with her suitcase, passing by Julius.
The two passed by, and Julius seemed to feel something, and turned his head to look at her back with a little doubt.
"What's wrong?" AgatΓ©, who was on the side, noticed his strange appearance and asked suspiciously.
"Nothing." Julius muttered, "I just think Noren's valet is ...... It doesn't seem to be an ordinary maid. β
Even if the aura is deliberately hidden, the transcendent and ordinary people are different in various details such as posture, pace, and eyes.
As Yuna passed by him, he could keenly sense that this maid was probably not ordinary.
"After all, it's the personal maid of the General Staff, so it's strange if it's ordinary."
AgatΓ© sighed, "Speaking of which, Noren is also very powerful, even if he is as strong as Flamell, he has to beg him to come over with a shy face."
"I'm a martial artist, I don't know much about it, really, how much has he achieved in the field of alchemy?"
"A single blow hit a seventh-order dragon clan demonic beast, do you think this is something that ordinary alchemy weapons can do?" Julius snorted.
"There's no need to understand, we just need to do our own escort work."
"Indeed."
On this side, Nolan said hello to Evelyn and the others, and even Ryan, who would not be dispatched this time, came to the scene to see him off.
"The matters relating to the cooperation with Flamel are left to you."
Evelyn said solemnly, "I'm waiting in the city for good news. β
"Leave it to me." Nolan nodded.
"Don't worry." Aland, who was on the side, slapped his chest with a bang, "I vouch for Flammel's reputation that I will send Noren back safely!" β
"I won't go back with you for a while." Carl on the side interjected, "Miss Evelyn has prepared an excellent guide for me, and I am going to follow the guide to visit Peak City today."
"Tell my father that I'm having a great time here."
"I will." Aland nodded, then gestured to Noren, "Then, if there's nothing else to attend to, I think we can go." β
"Let's go." Nolan waved his hand and stepped into the carriage.
Then, in the eyes of everyone, the messenger's convoy left Peak City and headed in the direction of Flamelmel.
In the carriage, Noren looked out the window at the scenery and kept receding, and his heart was touched.
For the first time in eighteen years, he had left Peak City for a completely unfamiliar place.
However, instead of being nervous, his mood at the moment is more about curiosity and anticipation of unknown things, as well as pride in facing a new stage.
Eden, Roland Empire...... With such a huge world, what has been revealed to him so far is only the tip of the iceberg.
And a visit to Flamel will be his first stop to make a name for himself to the world.
β¦β¦
After a day's and a night's trek, the messenger's convoy crossed the Mt. Linfeng Mountains and arrived in Flamel in the afternoon of the next day.
"It's almost there."
In the carriage, Arand lifted the curtains and pointed forward excitedly, "See, that majestic tower is the landmark that represents Flammel!" β
Nolan peeked out of the car window and saw that in the strange city ahead, there was indeed a dark blue tower that stood out.
It stood like an Optimus Prime in the center of Flammel's city, at least 600 meters tall compared to the height of the city walls.
"The Flamel Tower, 648 meters high, was the tallest building in the world at the time of its completion, and it is one of the great wonders of human history."
"Now that the tower has been built for a hundred years and is still functioning, it is the embodiment of Flammel's thousand-year-old alchemical heritage!" β
"In fact, the record for the tallest building was broken in the fifth year of the Roland calendar," interjected the mage Watson, who was accompanying him.
"With the support of Roland I, the Mage Tower built an 800-meter-high Arcane Tower in the Imperial Capital, breaking the record of Flamel and standing it to this day."
Just as the Alchemy Society is the home base of alchemists, the Mage Tower is a club of mages, an organization with a long history and a large number of talents.
Even Roland I had served as an Honorary Elder in the Mage's Tower, and he was even more famous than the Alchemy Society.
"The nature of the two is different, and it cannot be compared so superficially."
Arand immediately retorted, "Before the construction of the Flamel Tower, only a building of up to three hundred meters high could be built with human alchemy technology, and it is of epoch-making significance.
"The Arcane Tower was built so high with reference to the construction technology of the Flamel Tower, in other words, without the completion of the Flamel Tower, the Arcane Tower would not have appeared!"
When he said this, his expression was very proud, obviously proud of his native Flamel.
This is our Flamel Tower, do you have such a tower?
Chatting all the way, the carriage had reached the city wall.
As we got closer and closer, and the Flamel Tower grew taller and taller, Nolan looked up at the towering behemoth in front of him and exclaimed:
"I've heard people praise the majesty of the Flamel Tower before, and now it seems that it really lives up to its name."
The taller the building, the more unstable it is, and it needs to be stabilized with stronger materials and more solid architectural theories.
And being able to solve these problems is the embodiment of Flammel's profound alchemical background.
Today, the Flamel Tower has become a symbol of Flamel, and when people see it, they will naturally be reminded of Flamel's outstanding achievements and contributions in the field of alchemy.
But what about the landmarks......
With the tower in mind, Nolan had a new idea.
Throughout the Roland Empire, all the powerful city powers that can be ranked as famous have their own landmarks or legends.
And these ...... Not at the moment.
Wait, does the white raven count?
It shouldn't be counted, at present, the name of the white raven is only circulated in the territory of Linfeng City, and her existence is as short as the history of Linfeng City.
It seems that there is still a long way to go before Peak City grows into a powerful city force.
Secretly thinking to himself, the messenger's motorcade passed through the door.
"It's here, let's go." Aland was the first to get out of the carriage.
On both sides of the road, Flamel's welcoming troops lined up in two columns, and in front of them a strangely shaped carriage was parked.
The carriage was equipped with four wheels, but strangely there were no horses pulling the carriage, and it looked like a lonely iron box.
"It's ......" Nolen saw the carriage with a gleam in his eyes.
"This is a ride for you."
Arand said proudly, "This car is currently the only one in the world, and I believe you will like it soon." β
The attendant on the side bowed down and opened the carriage door, and Nolan and his party followed Arand into the magic car.
From the outside, the carriage of this magic guide car is very large and long, and the height is an executive extended version, but there are only ordinary six seats inside.
After Arander, Noren, Yuna, and the three Knights' bodyguards took their seats, the carriage was stuffed to the brim, and the seats were a little crowded.
ββ¦β¦β
Julius looked at the strange carriage with a strange expression, and in front of it was not the coachman driving the carriage, but a suit-clad attendant holding a strangely shaped disc.
He wanted to subconsciously ask how the car should run, but when he thought that opening his mouth like this would be flattened by Flamel's people, he stuffed the doubts in his heart back into his stomach.
The next moment, with a "buzz" sound, I don't know what switch the driver at the front of the car moved, and the vehicle suddenly moved.
Driven by a magical and powerful force, the magic guide car began to move forward on the road that had been cleared beforehand, and the sudden acceleration caused the bodies of everyone present to fall backwards.
And so it was...... Feeling this propulsion from nowhere, the corners of Nolan's mouth rose slightly.
"How does it feel, Nolan."
Alander chuckled, as if showing off his new toy to his companions, "Guess what it does move on without horses?" β
"There's no need to guess, the principle is actually very simple." Nolan leaned back in his chair and replied leisurely.
"You've used your magic to activate a kind of circle that will pull the wizard to turn the wheels and eventually move the vehicle forward.
"Of course, there is more than one circle that converts magical energy into mechanical energy, but they all behave differently when activated.
"And from this quiet start and strong push back feeling, it can be inferred that it should first activate the "electric shock" circle by magic power, and then convert the electrical energy into mechanical energy through the magic guide mechanism to propel the vehicle forward."
For the Knights who didn't know alchemy, Noren's words were in a fog.
But when Alander heard this, his face froze, and he muttered: "Strange, have I revealed the principle of the magic guide car to you before?" β
"You don't really think it's going to hurt me, do you?"
"Haha, it's you." Arand shook his head with a smile, and stopped selling it.
"Yes, the core mechanism that drives this magic guide car forward is powered by the "Shock" circle, and the name of this mechanism is 'Flamel Motor'."
"Your ability to choose names is really bad enough." Noren complained, "What Flamel Tower, Flamel Motor...... Just add a flamel to the prefix, right?
"Let me guess, is this car called the Flamel Magic Car?"
Alander was surprised: "How do you know?" β
Nolan sneered: "That's how the name of a straight man in science is this. β
Think about the new equipment you made, such as the "Valkyrie Backpack" for solo flights, and the "Gangenir" smoothbore sniper.
These names have as much context as they want, and the means of naming them are higher than theirs!
Aland didn't know what the science man meant, and replied solemnly:
"A simple and straightforward name is good, at least in the future, when the magic guide car becomes popular, people will know for the first time that this is the product of Flamel's invention."
"You guys really care about collective honor." Nolan smiled and shook his head, "I can understand your considerations, but it's too boring...... It's so impersonal.
"Moreover, it is too early to talk about popularization, judging from this trial work alone, the manufacturing technology of the magic guide car is far from mature, and it still has a lot of room for optimization."
"Oh?" Arand wondered, "I'd like to hear about it." β
Greeting Noren this time, the reason why Flamel took out this magic guide car was because they wanted to use the superb alchemy level displayed by this magic guide car to intimidate the other party.

As a result, the surprise shown by the magic guide car was not as great as the first time they saw the Flamel Tower, and to be honest, Arand was a little frustrated in his heart.
However, after all, the other party is the legendary alchemist who created a new rune system, and he has understood the operation of the magic guide car from the moment he got into the car.
If it were Nolan, he might have had the unique eye to point out the flaws of the Magic Guide and improve it for the better.
"First of all, the actual volume of this magic guide car is very large, but the space inside is relatively cramped."
"I think the reason for this is that it's still an old-style magic circle, and the magic guide car has to make room for the magic circle so bloated.
"If it is replaced with a small new magic circle, this problem will not occur, and after the volume is reduced, the magic guide car will be more light and flexible, and the space utilization will be greatly improved.
"Secondly, the acceleration of the magic car is still not linear enough, at least as a welcome car, and its ride experience is no better than that of a traditional horse-drawn carriage.
"This is because you can't control the power of the motor yet, and I guess you only have one on/off key for power control, or you don't have power at all, and you move at full speed.
"If it were me, I would consider making a magic trap that can control the power of the motor and use pedals to control it, which can greatly increase the handling performance of the car......"
Arand listened to Nolan's gushing explanation, and his expression gradually became dull.
