Although he pointed out many shortcomings of this magic guide car to Aland, Nolan did not mean to look down on it in his heart.

Inventing from 0 to 1 is not as difficult as improving 1 to 2.

Flamell's ability to build a prototype of the Magic Car is a testament to its alchemical prowess and creativity, and it's only a matter of time before it can be further refined and optimized.

At the same time, because of the memories and insights of his past life, Nolan was able to quickly deduce the operation of the magic guide car.

As long as he is willing to work hard, and even ask questions directly through the book of omniscience, he can also master the core technology of building this magic car.

But mastering the technology does not mean that Linfeng City will be able to mass-produce magic guide cars.

Take the core magic mechanism "Flamel Motor" as an example, its structure is delicate and extremely difficult to manufacture, and it is not something that the alchemists in the factory can make smoothly when they get the drawings.

This is the same reason why Flamel couldn't understand the mystery even if he got the new magic circle.

The accumulation of knowledge and technology has always been gradual, and there is no such thing as becoming a fat man in one go.

Therefore, Nolan also admitted that at least for a short time, Flamell's supremacy in the field of alchemy was still unshakable, and it was necessary for Peak City to learn from him.

After chatting with Arand all the way, the magic guide car quickly drove into the city lord's mansion in Flamel.

As soon as Noren got out of the car, several officials in charge of reception greeted him, bowed and said:

"Your Excellency Nolan, Lord Bach has been waiting for you for a long time."

Under their guidance, the envoy group walked into the office building of the City Lord's Mansion, and Nolan folded his arms with a thoughtful expression.

Before he came, Alander described a lot of scenes for him, what alchemy society would give him an award, and the city lord Bach would give him a grand reception.

Originally, he was mentally prepared to be warmly entertained and welcomed by Flamel, but now it seems that the reality and the ideal are somewhat different.

From receiving people into the city to going to the city lord's mansion, the process was too bland, and it was no different from the treatment of ordinary envoys visiting the city, and it could even be said to be a little low-key.

Such a "cold" style can be said to be very different from the image of Flamel's previous eagerly invited.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he gradually understood the little ninety-nine in Flamell's heart.

Flamell's attitude towards him is directly related to whether he can negotiate a cooperation with the city lord Bach in the future.

If the two sides hit it off in the next negotiation process, Flamel and Peaks are expected to forge a long-term alliance -

Naturally, then, Flamel will not skimp on its enthusiasm.

For example, the Alchemy Society awarded various honors, gave various support such as extraordinary potions, Bach and Nolan were present, and publicly announced the friendly relations between the two forces, etc., which will be displayed one by one.

And if he gave all these benefits to himself in advance, and the cooperation did not go well when the time came, wouldn't Flamel waste his efforts and make wedding dresses for others?

This old Deng is really good at calculating.

Thinking to himself, the envoys came to the door of the office, and the officials knocked on the door, and then bowed to Nolan and said:

"Lord Nolan, you can meet Master Bach with any of the emissaries."

There are a total of five people in the envoy group, including four bodyguards, and he is the only one who can talk about things, and it is unrealistic and unpolite to go in all of them.

"I ......"

Julius volunteered to follow him in, but when he saw that the maid on the side had already entered the door with Nolan, he couldn't help but put his half-outstretched hand on the bridge of his nose and rub it awkwardly.

With his martial arts and enthusiasm, he is still not as good as the young and beautiful maid, and he is more trusted by the General Staff

On this side, Noren walked into the office of the city lord, and at this time sitting in front of him was a middle-aged man with a majestic face, who was the city lord Bach Flamel.

In addition to Bach, there was also an old man with gray hair sitting in the room, whose origin was unknown.

As the envoy of Linfeng City, the number of courtesies that should be done is still in place, and Noren bowed respectfully to Bach and said:

"I am Noren Wiese, the emissary of Impedement City, and I have come this time to extend my sincere greetings to Flamel on behalf of Impex City, and I hope that the friendship between the two cities will last forever."

"I am Bach Flamel, Lord of Flammel."

Bach got up, and then introduced, "This is Hero Lups, who serves as the director of the Alchemy Society's headquarters, and is also the most powerful alchemist of the circle in Flamel. ”

"Oh, it's not okay to be old." The gray old man looked Nolan up and down, then shook his head and sighed.

"Now that the founder of the new form of magic circle has come to Flammel, how can I be embarrassed to call myself the most powerful alchemist of the circle in Flammel?"

"Falsely praised." Nolan smiled, and the three of them re-seated.

"Welcome to Flamel, the holy city of alchemists."

Bach immediately said, "Alchemy is a great and possible science, we welcome any alchemist to join and communicate, we hope to gather the wisdom of all alchemists to jointly promote the development of alchemy."

"That's why we created the Alchemy Society, and we will treat the research results of every alchemist fairly, and we will not bury any talented alchemist."

"And Nolan, we are surprised by the results you have made in the field of circle science, which is why we have repeatedly invited you to come over, and your contribution to the field of circle science is worthy of our vigorous promotion and award!"

"Uh......"

Noren coughed lightly and reminded, "I'm not here this time as an individual alchemist, but as an emissary from Peak City.

"Let's not talk about the research results and the Alchemy Society for the time being, let's talk about the cooperation between the two cities in the future."

Bach smiled: "Actually, it's the same thing, frankly Flamel doesn't want anything from Implaudes itself, and you were the one we invited from the beginning."

"Noren, you should also be well aware of the importance of the new rune system, and with this achievement, you have every chance to become the youngest legendary alchemist in history-

"But Peaks can't help you get to that status, only Flamel can."

Nolan frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

"Think about it." Bach said slowly, "You came from an ordinary background, your teacher is not very famous, you have no achievements in the past, and you have not even become an official alchemist for less than half a year.

"But such a newcomer can create a new rune system that subverts the times, such a ridiculous thing...... Presumably no one with common sense would believe it, would they?

"Once the news is released, you will be the target of public criticism, and you will face many peer doubts, tests and even personal threats, these difficult trivial things are enough to make people exhausted.

"But Flamel is the headquarters of the Alchemy Society, and it is needless to say that it has a place in the hearts of alchemists, and only we can prove to the world that you have indeed made epoch-making achievements.

"We will be your strongest backing, and with Flamell's endorsement, no one will question your status in the alchemy world.

"You will become the founder of the field of circle science in the new era, you will become the youngest legendary alchemist in a hundred years, and your name will be printed in the books of the Alchemy Society, and will be remembered and sung by all future generations——"

"Just like the greatest alchemist, 'Edward Flamel'!"

Speaking of this, Bach's tone became impassioned, and even the gray-haired old man Hero on the side looked at him with blazing eyes.

Comparable to Grandpa Edward, to leave a name in the history of alchemy, this is the ultimate goal of many alchemists?

With this achievement, what more can you ask for!

Bach is undoubtedly well aware of the pain points of alchemists, and I believe that most alchemists will re-examine their future life paths after hearing such incendiary lobbying.

But Nolan's expression remained calm, and he keenly grasped the subtext of Bach's words, and asked rhetorically with a little sneer:

"You mean that if I don't join Flamel, I won't be recognized by my peers as a legendary alchemist?"

Objectively speaking, the Alchemy Society does enjoy the highest prestige and status in the alchemy world, and the alchemy books it compiles are almost indistinguishable from the textbooks of alchemists.

As long as he can gain its recognition and support, his future development in the alchemy world will undoubtedly be a smooth road.

But, since it can support you, it can naturally oppose you.

Bach's words just now can also be understood as a threat to him from the Alchemy Society?

You'd better join us and work with us, or don't blame me for negating your work.

"You're mistaken, I didn't mean that." Of course, Bach himself would not admit this, "I'm just stating a fact. ”

Nolan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that as the largest alchemist-neutral organization, the Alchemy Society is indeed a benchmark existence in the alchemy world.

Why did he go to all the trouble to take the Alchemy Society's exams in the first place?

It is because only by passing the examination of the society can you become an alchemist recognized by the world.

The influence of the Alchemy Society can be seen.

"So, what do you want from me as the price of my fame?"

Nolan spread his hands and curled the corners of his mouth, "Is it all the research results of the new rune system?" I guess it won't be long before you get it completely—

"It will be renamed the Flamel Rune System by some people with ulterior motives."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.

"I promise it won't happen."

Bach said slowly, "The creator himself has the right to name his research results, even if you join Flamel, as long as you don't want to, we won't name it like that."

"And we will make it clear that you are the sole creator of this new system, and you don't have to worry about your research being misappropriated and plagiarized by others."

Nolan stared at him and said slowly, "So, what if I'm not ready to join Flamael?" ”

"It's the same, the Alchemy Society is a completely neutral organization, and as long as your research is genuine, it will never be buried."

That being said, but the headquarters of the Alchemy Society is in Flamel, and the leadership of each other is the same people, so there is essentially no difference between the two.

And Flammel, as a city and a force, must have its own position and its own tendencies.

Nolan leaned back in his chair and soothed his tone: "I don't care about anyone's doubts, because true talent does not become false because of a negative sentence, and a lie does not become true because it is repeated many times."

"If you have to rely on someone's support to prove your talent, then that talent is nothing more than this level.

"Legendary Alchemist...... It's the tests that make you a legend, isn't it? ”

Hearing this, both Bach and Hiro's faces showed a different color.

"I'm just saying that doing so will save you a lot of trouble."

Bach shook his head and said, "Even geniuses need to pay full attention to get something out of their research, and it's too wasteful for you to spend a lot of energy on trivial matters."

"Moreover, Flamel is located in the middle of the empire, which is not only rich in magic crystals, but also convenient to receive alchemy resources from all over the world at any time.

"I think compared to the remote and backward Linfeng City, there should be no comparison between the two."

"Yes." Noren confessed, "Compared to Flamel, Ringpindo only attracts me in one thing. ”

"What?"

"That's where I've been for eighteen years, where I've been frustrated, where I've made a fortune, and I've had unpleasant experiences, but I've made some friends."

Nolan smiled and said, "I'm a lazy person, and I don't want to move my nest as long as my life is okay, so I don't plan to look elsewhere for my love."

"Of course, I'd love to make some friends at Flammel and I hope to continue working with Flammel and that's why I'm here now."

The plan to solicit "...... cooperation" fell through, and Bach asked again with a little disappointment.

"So, what kind of cooperation are you going to work with us this time?"

If it is only cooperation, the exchange of technology will be limited.

Just as Flamel will not easily divulge his core research results, Nolen will also hold the key secrets of the new rune system in his own hands.

After all, it's your own hole card.

Sure enough, as expected, Nolan was only willing to continue to trade the ready-made new magic circle with Flamel, and agreed that Flamel would order a new strategic wizard from Primest City in the future.

Correspondingly, his asking price is much higher than when he first worked together.

Not only did he ask for various core research results such as extraordinary potion formulas, human alchemy techniques, and flamel motors from Flammel, but he also hoped that Flamel could send a group of senior alchemists to Linfeng City to support the construction.

The return is obviously not proportional to the benefit, and Bach can't help but knock:

"Don't forget that Peak City also imports magic crystals from Flamelmel, which is not a small amount that can be carried out in one stroke."

"I haven't forgotten." Nolan said, "I mean, even if this item is deducted...... Flamel no longer needs to export mana crystals to Ringpeak. ”

"What did you say?" Bach was shocked, and even Hiro on the side looked at Noren in surprise.

For a long time, Flamel and Peak City have had a clear supply and demand relationship with each other.

Ringhill City needs Flammel's magic crystals and technical support, and Flamel needs Ringpeak's new rune system and new magic wizards.

As a result, the two check each other out, striking a degree of balance in their partnership.

But now, if Ringpeak no longer relies on Flamel's supply of mana crystals, this balance will be upset.

Flamel's need for Peak City will be even stronger, as they desperately need to rely on the new rune system to improve their combat power.

But they couldn't grasp each other's pain points to stop each other's lions from opening their mouths.

Quietly, Flamel was passive in the negotiations with Impend, something that Bach had never imagined before.

This is where this delicate partnership comes to an end...... How will it continue to be sustained?
