In the six days that Evelyn rushed to Linfeng City with reinforcements, Linfeng City's combat readiness also reached the next stage.

Since Nolan deduced the manufacturing formula of Gaia's memory metal in a "flash of inspiration" that night, Luo Zhen led the alchemy team to devote himself to the forging of new materials.

Originally, he thought that this formula was only a semi-finished product, and it was estimated that many problems would be exposed in practice, and it was estimated that he would have to improve it while making it.

But I didn't expect the answer given by Nolan to be completely correct, and the alchemy team only needed to forge step by step according to the steps shown in the formula.

Except for the occasional mistake due to lack of proficiency, the alchemy team did not encounter any other difficulties during the whole process, and soon successfully forged the prototype of memory metal in these few days.

It was a Valkyrie avalanche-shaped right-hand handguard made of memory metal, and although it was the simplest component of the entire set, it did prove the viability of this idea.

The Memory Metal Gauntlet in its compressed state is a compact, silver-gray piece of metal, and when Nolan touches the soul circle engraved on the surface of the metal block with his hand—

Stimulated by magic and mental power, the memory metal shrank and gathered like a living thing, and climbed up his forearm, quickly forming the shape of a gauntlet.

The gauntlets forged from memory metal are thinner than the materials used before, and because their raw materials are taken from Eighth-Order Demonic Beasts, their defense is also considerable.

Even if it doesn't use any defensive spells, it won't do serious damage when it receives an attack from a Tier 6 or even Tier 7 Knight.

Also, because the memory metal has an excellent affinity for magical materials, the circle can also be drawn directly onto its surface as a circle base.

Even if the equipment is crushed into a small piece in the compressed state, the folded circle inside will not be damaged, and as long as it is re-expanded, it will activate the spell as usual.

This is simply the ideal material for magic equipment!

In addition, the Valkyrie Avalanche is already characterized by its lightness and flexibility, and the advent of Gaia Memory Metal has also taken this characteristic to the extreme.

So after getting a satisfactory answer, Nolan was also excited, and urged the alchemy team to immediately start making a complete set of Valkyrie avalanche-type equipment using memory metal.

Compared with the alchemy workshop, which is progressing smoothly, the alchemy factory of the military department has encountered some minor problems.

The problem lies in the air battleship "Crow's Nest", because it is the first time to make a large air ship with a total length of nearly 100 meters, so it inevitably makes some inexperienced mistakes.

First of all, the original blueprint miscalculated the number of wind circles needed to make the large airship fly.

The power of a standard "levitating" and "flying" circle is limited, and a single spell can only hold the weight of a few adult males at most.

This load is more than enough for individual combat, but it is completely insufficient for large airships.

Therefore, it is necessary to connect several circles in series into a group, and lay out an array of series arrays on the base plate of the Crow's Nest as a flying circle warehouse.

Among them, Nolan also discovered that the earth spell "gravityless field" can significantly reduce the weight of the airship, so that it can drive the Crow's Nest to fly with fewer flying circles.

However, the "gravitational field" also has its side effect, which is that it does not only apply to the surface of the airship like wind spells, but instead applies weightlessness to all objects in the entire airship.

In weightlessness, not only is it difficult for the combatants to move, but it may also have an unknown effect on other delicate structures within the airship.

As for the size of the impact, it had to be carefully tested, so in the original Crow's Nest, the solution of using a "gravitational field" was not adopted in the end.

The structure of the Crow's Nest will be made entirely of wind-based circles.

And after that, as all the armed parts of the Crow's Nest were produced one after another, and as they were installed on the Crow's Nest one after another, the factory found that -

The Crownest was overweight.

The culprit was the Meteor, a live weapon that was larger and heavier than the Magic Weapon, so even if it was reduced to 380 mm, it would still weigh more than expected.

If you want to solve this problem, you can either cut the rest of the Crownest's armament and reduce its weight;

Either increase the number of flying circles and increase their output.

Out of the consideration of "I want it all", Nolan chose the latter, but this will inevitably increase the burden on the power source and reduce the endurance of the Crow's Nest.

It was indeed a dilemma, but fortunately, just a few days ago, he had collected three purple-level magic cores from the Gaia Worm.

Three Mana Cores, one large and two small, one of which is installed in Valkyrie's backpack.

As for the remaining two, Nolan didn't have time to carefully calculate whether the magic power was enough, and he didn't do it endlessly, and used them all as a power source for the Crow's Nest.

In this way, with the support of high-quality materials, the problem was successfully solved.

With these two highest-quality magic cores for energy, the Crow's Nest was able to safely expand the area of the flight circle structure chamber, allowing for both load and endurance.

Construction of the Crow's Nest is nearing completion, and it will soon be completed.

It was early morning at seven o'clock.

The curtains were quietly pulled open, and the soft light of the early morning gradually lit up the dark room.

Nolan woke up from a light dream and slowly opened his eyes.

What caught my eye was Yuna's gentle and delicate face, dressed in a neatly dressed maid outfit, standing by the window and smiling at Noren:

"Good morning, Nolan, it's a nice day."

"Hmm......" Nolan got up and leaned against the window to clear his mind, "good morning." ”

He didn't hear the door of the room open, and rightfully so.

Because after saying that Yuna's workload would be increased that day, in order to better fulfill the duties of a personal maid, she naturally moved in the same room with him.

It's better to say that this is normal, the so-called personal maid, how can she be called if she is not "close"?

Especially among the princes and nobles, whether the personal maid has the ability to become the master's right-hand man is not to mention, at least the figure and appearance are first-class.

As for why appearance is prioritized over ability, it is naturally because the bedchamber is also one of the main jobs of a personal maid.

In fact, in the master bedroom of the Grand Mansion, there is a special compartment for the personal attendants to rest.

It's just that many times, the personal maid does not sleep in the cubicle, but shares the bed with the master......

Of course, this fashionable and pure Noren has not yet been tainted by the "bad habits" of the princes and nobles.

Although it has been a little more open than at the beginning, and Yuna has begun to be allowed to enter her private space, it is still a regular two people who sleep in separate beds.

It's just that when lonely men and widows start living together, I don't know how long this state of respect can last?

Seeing Yuna holding his clothes in front of the full-length mirror, Nolan woke up from his daze and commanded:

"It's good to put it on, you go and get a basin of water."

"Okay." Yuna blinked, as if she was used to it, put down her clothes and turned to go out.

Seeing her leave, Nolan breathed a sigh of relief, got up quickly, and put his clothes on his body in twos and threes.

It's not that he doesn't want to enjoy Yuna's dressing attendant, he'd experienced it once before when he was in Flamel, and he did it for a reason.

Probably because of his recent rest, little Nolan is always in a state of "full charge" in the early morning.

On the first day of living together, he got up directly under Yuna's gaze and stood directly in front of her wearing only underwear.

And when Yuna half-crouched down with his pants, she blushed when she noticed that a certain part was unusually majestic.

Nolan couldn't forget the ambiguous, or awkward, atmosphere that had spread in the air at that time, and the two sides were silent, like robots, completing the daily interaction between master and servant.

Then Yuna went out to fetch water with red ears.

Nolan sat in front of the bed, looked down at his second brother and pondered for a long time, and muttered:

"It's also hard for you, do you want me to ask her to try?"

"You talk, if you don't speak, you don't want it?"

"We both have such a good relationship with Yuna, this request shouldn't be too much, right?"

At that moment, he seemed to convince himself in his heart, and the next day, he said to Yuna, who came with her clothes in her arms:

"It's good to put it on, you go and get a basin of water."

？

What did I say?

Second brother, I'm sorry for you, second brother!

Faintly, he seemed to hear the second brother let out a sneer, and mocked:

"Get used to it, Chu Nan is like this."

"No, no, no, it's only been a few days since we've been living together, so it's a bit of a haste to start so quickly."

Nolan took a deep breath and made a vow in his heart.

"Wait a few more days, and when we get along a little more naturally, I will take the lead and take this step myself with my will.

"Will take it!"

Today is the sixth day of cohabitation...... Noren secretly calculated Yuna's "death date" in his heart, and soon after, Yuna walked in with a basin of water.

"Good work." Nolan came to his senses and went to the bathroom to wash up.

"Actually, I've always wanted to say, it's okay not to be so polite to me, right? This is what I should do. ”

Yuna tilted her head and replied with some cuteness, "The master should have the majesty of the master." ”

The master and the servant are the identities of two classes, even if they are well-mannered and polite, they will hardly have the habit of saying thank you to the servant, which is the common sense of the Roland Empire.

"So you like to be treated more rudely?" Nolan teased informally, "I can't see that you still have this kind of fetish." ”

Who would have such a fetish!

Yuna heard the ridicule in Nolan's tone, and an inexplicable meaning suddenly welled up in her heart, and she said quietly behind him:

"That'...... How do you know if you don't try? ”

"Poof—"

Nolan just took the water in the water cup in his mouth and rinsed his mouth, and when he heard the words, he didn't hold back his breath, and sprayed the mirror in front of him all over the screen.

"Where did you get the guts?" He coughed a few times and glared at her viciously.

"I don't know who was so scared that I tore off their clothes that night?"

Hmph, it's just a Chu girl, you want to mock me and each other!

actually turned over the mess of the day! Yuna's eyes widened, and she replied with a wondrous expression of a smile and gritted teeth:

"That'...... Was it just an accident? Never again!

"I'm professionally trained, no matter what the owner does, I will never cry!"

"Hey, that's a pity, and you look pretty good when you cry."

"If the owner likes this kind of play, I'd like to give it a try, right?"

“…… Grass. ”

A new day begins with the two of them messing around, and after washing up, Nolan and Yuna go to the restaurant for dinner.

"Good morning, sir, ma'am."

Marenna, the butler, bowed at the door of the restaurant and smiled, "Oh? Looking at the old man's expression, he seems to be in a good mood today, is something good happening? ”

"A good thing? It's still to come! Nolan snorted, bringing forward Yuna's "death" by a few days.

Immediately, the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

It seems that the relationship is going well, and Marena smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the back of the two of them entering the restaurant.

When people get older, they are not interested in many things, but watching the newcomers tie the knot step by step always makes people happy.

It's here, it's here.

……

Because Yuna had to go to the City Lord's Mansion in place of him in the morning to deal with some affairs, the two of them had dinner together.

After eating, Nolan asked, "How is the situation over there of the Sky Knights?" ”

When it came to business, Yuna immediately entered the working state, and Zhengrong reported:

"The selection of the Sky Knights has ended, and a total of twenty candidates, including Julius, Bryant and Leeds, have joined the Order and become official Sky Knights.

"According to my observations, these twenty Sky Knights already have some abilities, and they should be able to put them into actual combat immediately.

"By the way, Julius asked you yesterday if you are going to hold a welcoming ceremony for the Sky Knights, and as the head of the regiment, have you considered saying a few words to them?

"Also, regarding the distribution of members of the Sky Regiment, whether these twenty members want to be divided into squads or not also needs to be decided by yourself."

"Well, there must be a sense of ritual as well."

Nolan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said slowly, "Tomorrow is the completion date of the Crow's Nest, and the ceremony of the Sky Regiment will be held on the Crow's Nest."

"As for the division of labor within the regiment, I will assign it immediately.

"Aren't they already able to fight? Once you've divided their work, you'll be able to organize them to complete Dailies starting today. ”

Although the Sky Knights are the special forces of Linfeng City, they are not a temporary force for a thousand days.

Because of the mobility and reconnaissance capabilities that ordinary sentinel scouts do not have, even in normal times, the Sky Knight team on duty that day will patrol the airspace around Peak City, which is their daily mission.

After making arrangements, he took Yuna to the study, and quickly divided the team into a list of members of the Sky Regiment.

Since the best of the new members of the Sky Regiment are Julius, Bryant and Leeds, he is going to divide the members of the Sky Knight into three teams.

Each of them led a team, with five each of Bryant and Leeds, and seven for Julius.

"At present, this is the case for the time being, according to the follow-up actual performance and the run-in situation within the team, adjustments can be made as appropriate later."

Nolan handed the list to Yuna, who took her men and bowed:

"Roger, then I'll go first."

"Well, go ahead."

Nolan watched Yuna leave the study, closed the door, and stood up himself.

"In this way, the slowest progress is the creation of the improved version of Valkyrie's avalanche equipment, let's go to Uncle Luo Zhen's in the morning to help."

He looked up at the calendar hanging on the wall of his study, and suddenly remembered something else.

"Speaking of which, Evelyn has been in the imperial capital for more than ten days, and it is time to come back......

"I wonder where she's now?"
