Nothing good, and you still want me to mass-produce magic cannons for the Empire?

Nolan sneered in his heart, Bach had paid a lot of price for it in order to get his new rune system.

Even if you are the chief alchemist of the court representing the empire, you want to let me work hard in a word, but you can't help but think too beautifully.

Moreover, to explain the reasons for the refusal on the face, he also has it-

"It's true that I can draw new magic circles very quickly, and no one knows new magic circles better than me."

Nolan shrugged, "But here's the problem, I also said at the press conference that I'm the only creator of the new rune system.

"Therefore...... Rather than saying, 'No one knows the new circle better than I do,' it's better to say, 'I'm the only one who knows the new circle.'" ’

"In a short period of time, I am the only one in Peak City who has the ability to draw a new magic circle, but I can't waste my energy on mass-producing magic cannons.

"I have a lot more important research to do – you know what I mean?"

Let me, a legendary alchemist, be an assembly line worker, rubbing hundreds of new magic circles by hand?

No, buddy, you're using me as a Paru?

"I see...... Yesterday you took out so many new alchemy weapons in the competition, I thought this technology had already begun to spread in Linfeng City. ”

Fred frowned, "In that case, it will take a lot of time to retrain the technicians.

"Well, the Imperial Capital will then send a group of high-level alchemists to Linfeng City to further their studies—of course, if you can come to the Imperial Capital in person, that would be the best.

"If they can learn your skills, they will be able to mass-produce weapons for the Empire instead of you, which will effectively reduce your pressure and improve the efficiency of production equipment.

"Now that the counterinsurgency is imminent, I hope that the new alchemy weapons can be put into the army as soon as possible, so as to clear the rebels as soon as possible and restore peace to the empire."

"At that time, your name will be spread throughout the empire through this campaign, and you will receive your majesty's highest commendation as a great meritorious.

"There aren't many opportunities to receive such an honor...... You've got to take advantage of it. ”

Fred drew the cake very round, and spoke in a tone that was serious and righteous.

But Nolan listened from the sidelines, his heart did not fluctuate in the slightest, and he even wanted to laugh a little.

Flamel was able to cooperate with him because they really came up with extremely practical things such as transcendent potions, human refining rituals, and so on.

In this cooperation, both sides can learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and this is the real win-win situation.

He originally thought that this time Fred came to him on behalf of the imperial royal family, and he also wanted to talk to him about similar cooperation.

But judging by Fred's current attitude, there is no doubt that the sincerity of the royal family is lacking.

Or rather, there was something ...... in Fred's tone A somewhat uncomfortable, top-down arrogant attitude that made him feel uncomfortable.

If you put your own people to me, I have to teach them my skills?

I'm tired of doing things for you, and in the end, all I get is the so-called "highest reward" that gives me a blank check afterwards?

Am I missing your name?

Not a word is left from the imperial capital, but there is not a word about the actual assistance to Linfeng City and him......

You old Deng, your mind is full of only thinking about yourself.

However, although he slandered, he did not directly show his dissatisfaction on his face.

Because unlike Flammel, Fred does not represent a city, but the royal family of the Roland Empire.

The cities must obey the arrangements and commands of the Empire, otherwise it will be a great crime.

Therefore, he could only fool the matter as smoothly as possible, instead of arguing with Fred without saying a word.

"Actually, before today, I had already reached a cooperation with Flammel." Nolan quickly came up with a brilliant excuse.

"I have shared the research results of the new rune system with Flamel, as long as I give them the blueprints, I believe that with their background, they can even complete the mass production of the magic guide cannon faster than Linfeng City.

"At the same time, I know that I am a scholar, not a teacher.

"Therefore, when it comes to teaching techniques, Master Fred still asks Master Bach to be more efficient."

"Makes sense." Fred pondered for a few seconds and said slowly.

"It's really too condescending for you to do these things, and you should delve into more esoteric topics and find more possibilities for the results of this research.

"In that case, leave this matter to Bach, and when the time comes, you can contact the relevant technology, and I will send someone to come and learn it."

As soon as these words came out, Bach's face on the side suddenly turned green.

How did this thankless errand fall on his head?

However, he did not reject Fred's position head-on, and at this time he could only be as vague as possible and agreed to a rough idea.

“…… The stakes are very high, and you must take it seriously. ”

Fred explained a lot, and finally said solemnly, "Now that the empire is on the same page as the rebels, the flames of war are likely to ignite within a month and quickly spread throughout the empire."

"For every little increase in the strength of the Imperial army, we will lose a few men...... At this juncture, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a race against time. ”

"Understood." Both Noren and Bach stood up, "We should do our best." ”

Fred's schedule was full, and he was about to leave for the imperial capital in the afternoon.

The two sent him away, and then returned to the box, looked at each other, and then smiled helplessly.

"It's so urgent, but I'm here to help with real money."

Nolan complained, "If you open your mouth and ask us to mass-produce weapons, our technology is obtained for nothing?" Our supplies are blowing in with a strong wind? ”

Bach shook his head: "The empire should pay a certain amount of military expenses for this order, but at most it will only allow us not to lose money."

"Alchemy-related commissions have never been fat, Fred this time...... It really threw a hot potato to us. ”

The Empire's stinginess towards alchemists was almost a tradition, and even Nolan knew it.

At the beginning, the City Lord's Mansion of Linfeng City commissioned the Alchemy Society to send alchemists to maintain the magic guide cannon on the city wall, and the price offered was extremely low.

This is not a problem of the individual Peak City, at best, it is the empire that does not pay attention to alchemists strategically, which in turn leads to the upward and downward effects of various cities.

With the exception of the alchemy city of Flammel, few people have a sufficiently correct assessment of the alchemist's strength.

In this environment, even though Fred was a legendary alchemist, he saw the potential of new alchemy weapons -

But he also had no pricing power over the commission, and he could not convince the other bureaucrats in the imperial capital to allocate more funds to him, and in the end he could only become the same pie as he was......

It's kind of ironic when you think about it.

However, Fred's commission was put aside for the time being, and what he had just said reminded him.

The eldest prince's camp and the second prince's camp have been facing off for some time, and just half a month ago, the messenger of Shattered Star City was killed in Flamel.

Shattered Star City is the force of the Second Prince's camp, while Peak City and Flamel belong to the Great Prince's camp at least on the surface.

Due to this sensitive identity, this incident can also be regarded as a skirmish between the two camps.

The fuse of the civil war has been quietly lit, and no one can say when and where it will break out.

In short, whether or not you make weapons for others, it is always right to improve your own military strength at a time when everyone is in danger.

At least until Shattered Star City comes to take revenge, Peak City must have enough strength to rival them.

And if you want to improve the strength of Linfeng City, you can also start from many aspects.

For example, to create more powerful strategic-level alchemy weapons.

For example, strengthen the power of top combat forces, such as Captain Ryan or the White Raven.

Another example is the experimentation of individual flying devices and other alchemical weapons on the core members of the Order.

Although it is not to the level of mass production, as long as these core members can have half of the combat power of the white crow, it will also be a considerable increase in strength for Linfeng City.

It's just that these ideas, although very feasible, take time to develop.

From this point of view, they are indeed a race against time.

"Eat one bite at a time, and we'll do it at our pace."

Nolan's finger tapped on the table, "Our first collaborative R&D project was the 'Tank', and if all goes well, its prototype should be out in time for the Civil War."

"I think it will do a great job in the war, and we don't think about the impact of its appearance for the time being, let's move forward with that goal for now."

The qualified "tank" in his mind should be an epoch-making war machine powered by a Flamel motor, equipped with composite alchemy armor and a defensive array, and a new magic cannon as a means of attack.

It combines high mobility, high defense, and high attack performance, and its appearance will make the world reevaluate the importance of alchemy.

"That's what I thought too."

Bach nodded, "I'll have the relevant researchers return to Peak City with you, and try to finalize its drawings within a week, and then start production testing."

"By the way, when are you going to leave?"

"It's this afternoon, time waits for no one." Nolan looked at the clock on the wall.

"I'm in a hurry, there are many people I haven't had time to introduce to you."

"There's no need." Nolan waved his hand.

"You should have an intersection with me, and sooner or later you will have the opportunity to meet, if you just make a nodding acquaintance, it is useless to get acquainted."

"Yes, there will be opportunities in the future." Bach bowed, "I'll call someone to prepare now." ”

In the case of the legendary alchemist's feast, it ended a little too hastily and too quickly.

But these are extraordinary times, and it doesn't matter if it's all red tape.

A true legend doesn't care about these superficial things, and his research results are the most powerful proof that everyone is happy and convinced.

The necessary affairs were finalized at the dinner table, and Nolan quickly filled his stomach and left without any further rest.

After about an hour, a secret convoy escorted by the Knights of Flamel pulled out of the city gate on one side and galloped away in the direction of the Peak Mountains.

"Gone so soon?"

On the carriage, Luo Zhen looked back at the towering Flamel Tower with some reluctance, and his expression was quite regretful.

He was also counting on having time to visit the city of alchemy.

"There will be a chance in the future." Nolan smiled, "Compared to this, uncle, you'll have work to do soon." ”

"Oh, let the horses come!"

During the time that Nolan was away, he was in a panic, and when he heard this, he immediately rolled up his sleeves energetically.

"Let me see what new tricks you've come up with!"

Yesterday's battle between Yuna and the Plate Knight Luo Zhen watched the whole process, and he was also one of the makers of Valkyrie's equipment, and he was originally extremely complacent about his work.

But the Plate Knight's unreasonable physique and defense once put Yuna in a bitter battle, which sounded the alarm in his heart.

The alchemy weapon we are proud of has not been able to complete the equipment crushing this time - Nolan, don't hurry up and think of a way!

"Of course there are patterns, and there are quite a few of them."

Nolan tapped his temple and smiled, "I'll send the drawings to your studio in the next two days, and you'll be busy then." ”

After the battle of the Plate Knight, he suddenly discovered an important factor that he had previously overlooked.

Today's White Raven, in addition to the basic Valkyrie Flying Pack, has a total of these equipment:

Flying wing thrusters that focus on flight and endurance, and magic guide guns that emphasize portability;

Beam Magic Cannon and Gungnir, which can snipe at a distance;

and Assault Gear that is effective against spell targets: Glass Shield and Steel Spike.

These alchemy weapons are pulled out alone, and one of them is considered to be a very good work, as long as they can exert their performance, they can indeed win the battle.

In fact, emphasizing the role of alchemical weapons has always been his primary understanding of combat.

This is also a matter of course, after all, in his inherent worldview, no matter how high his kung fu is, he is afraid of kitchen knives, and no matter how good his legs and feet are, he will be knocked down with one shot.

Slok's philosophy is at the other extreme, and he comes from a world of transcendentals, emphasizing the importance of the individual qualities of the transcendent.

To this end, he made various modifications to the Plate Knight's body, so that he could catch up with the speed of Valkyrie's full jet with just his physical fitness, and the power of throwing a great sword was even damaged by a single blow.

The arrow fired by the super warbow even broke through the spell barrier of the test ground, and its power was not much inferior to that of Gangnir.

This made him suddenly realize that in addition to the powerful alchemy weapon, there was another dimension that could increase Yuna's strength.

It was to strengthen her extraordinary power as a knight herself.

All along, Yuna had only used her excellent combat talent to manipulate alchemy weapons, but she had made little use of her knightly strength.

But once upon a time, she was also a cultivation genius who was amazed by everyone, and her high-level knight's strength should have been better played.

Even if she doesn't have to embark on such an extreme path as body transformation, as long as she is applied properly, she should still be able to exert her cross-level melee strength.

He envisioned the ability to use alchemy weapons to snipe at his opponents from a distance, and the strength of a knight to subdue them in melee combat.

Such a white raven can be called omnipotent.
