Northbound (13)
As soon as the bounty hunter walked, the leader in front of him disappeared, and although there were doubts, everyone had to leave first.
Before the bounty hunters had returned and sat down, Lord Duke begged them to tell the results of the experiment, and the Duke with a vast territory was not like a nobleman, but like a child who had not been able to participate in the play.
Duke Ed: "The snowy mountain has melted, is it a whole snowy mountain?"
Grak: "Almost, Lord Duke, except for the feet of the snowy mountain, there is nothing left, all of them have been blown off by this guy's electromagnetic cannon." ”
And the "this guy" in the mouth of the dwarven warrior has not stopped nagging since the way back, and he didn't even pay attention to the duke's questioning, the most exaggerated thing is that Pierce was able to cooperate all the way, listening carefully with a face full of magnetic tracks, guide rails, tracks, sliders, electromagnetic fields, charging, energy conversion, saying some words that Gerak had never heard of, he was very suspicious that these two people had created it temporarily.
Duke Ed: "How did you blow it down, whether it was a bang or a tick or a bang, or Bang Bang." ”
"This ......"
The dwarven warrior was confused, how could he explain, was the man in front of him sure that he was a duke?
After some thought, Gluck finally came up with an apt analogy, and he said, "Does the Duke have any poop in the snow? The melting of the snowy mountains is like you pulling hot urine onto the snow." ”
Laura glanced at her companion with disdain, then distanced herself from her.
Duke Ed laughed and asked, "What about the two pillars of fire that rose later? That was also caused by the electromagnetic cannon? These two pillars of fire are very powerful, over there, do you see? The other side of the mountain was melted away." ”
Grad: "Pillar of Fire? ”
Looking down, the other end of the white mountain range, which had just been fine, disappeared out of thin air, as if it had been bitten into a large bite.
"Huh?" Duke Eddard's eyes rolled, "then, that should be my mistake, there is no pillar of fire, there is no pillar of fire." ”
Grak only felt ridiculous, obviously the entire snow-capped mountain range was missing a corner, how could this be wrong, could it be that he was crazy?
"Well, that's right, it's just wrong, where did the pillar of fire come from in the snow. ”
Teresa came out of nowhere, followed by Louis, who had just disappeared, and the girl glanced at Duke Eddard lightly, and the other party quickly looked up at the sky, counting the number of white clouds.
Grak: "How could you be wrong, it's ...... Huh?"
The dwarven warrior saw the missing corner return to its original state at second glance.
Could it be that I was wrong?
Grak: "Laura, you didn't see that either?"
Laura replied, "Did you really pee in the snow?"
She didn't want to touch snow that wasn't white.
Teresa: "Okay, okay, the mission is over, the Blue Wolf King is dead, it's confirmed, go back and remember the propaganda, there is no so-called Blue Wolf King in the north, and if there are any scientific achievements in the future, you can use the Blue Wolf King as an excuse to come to Luxembourg to shoot a cannon." ”
Speaking of this topic, Albert came back to his senses: "So this time I am very productive? You will tell the Academy of Magic truthfully afterwards and let them officially recognize our science department, right?"
Teresa: "Mmmmmmmm ”
Albert: "You want it?" I'll give you one next time. ”
Teresa looked at each other like an idiot, and then saw in Albert's eyes that he was serious.
I see, it seems that this guy really doesn't know how much of an impact he has made on the wizarding world. Anyway, that's not something she needs to worry about, and as for Phoenix's Magic Research Institute, Teresa feels that it is still necessary to say hello a little.
After all, everyone loves magic, so it's necessary to communicate.
......
...
Considering the time required for the return trip, the bounty hunters originally intended to leave for Phoenix on the same day, receive their remuneration and continue their journey back to Devonburg, but they did not expect that their team had just returned to Luxembourg when a violent snowstorm suddenly broke out outside the barrier, and even the barrier shook a little.
Louis rarely dared to look at Teresa with reproach, and the girl stuck out her tongue and whispered, "Don't take an example, don't take an example." ”
Therefore, the bounty hunters had no choice but to stay in Luxembourg and wait until the snow and wind were gentler before leaving.
Gerak began to get used to life without one Pierce, in fact, the dwarven warrior had not communicated with his companion for a few days, this guy almost day and night with Albert, eating together, sleeping together, even bathing together, the dwarven warrior was a little suspicious that Pierce had suddenly awakened some hobbies, but with Albert's appearance, it didn't seem to be, if it was Mr. Merchant, it would be forgivable.
Laura: "Are the two still in the room?"
Grack: "Nonsense, has Pierce been half a step away from that guy in this time?"
Laura: "Hmm......"
Grack: "What do you mean by 'um......'? ”
Laura hesitated for a moment before she said, "What would you do if, I mean, Pierce was better suited to be a researcher than a bounty hunter?"
Grack sneered, "Don't say I look down on Pierce, let alone despise his brain, as far as I've known him for so many years, I don't know what this guy is most suitable for......?"
The dwarven warrior, who was about to count them, noticed that his fellow enchanters were seriously discussing with him, and Gerak was stunned and couldn't say anything more.
"Look at this. Laura pulled out a cylindrical iron tool, "This is something that Pierce has a part in the part of." ”
The smooth iron exterior has a lot of gears biting and something like a knob on the side.
Gerak: "What is this?"
Laura: "Remember what Mr. Einstein said about bicycles, vehicles that can be controlled by people instead of horses? ”
Grack said nonchalantly, "So this funny thing is a bicycle?"
Laura: "Not really, but it's an important component, and its rotation directly drives the bike to walk." ”
Grack: "I don't believe it. ”
Laura: "Don't believe it after seeing the electromagnetic cannon?"
Grak: "I...... I don't believe it's Pierce, he can't make such a thing, this component must have been made by that kid, and Pierce is at most handing tools next to him. ”
Laura lowered her eyes, seeming a little sad: "I thought so at first, but just now when I was bringing them dinner, I heard Mr. Einstein compliment Pierce on this component. ”
The dwarven warrior snapped to his feet and began pacing back and forth, only to exhale quiet air every time he tried to open his mouth to retort.
Laura: "Did you ever think that Pierce might be a better fit to stay in Phoenix?"
Grad: "Fart! What stupid are you talking about?!"
The dwarven warrior was like a keg of dynamite that could explode at any moment, and the enchanter only replied quietly.
"If only I had said something stupid. ”
Grak's momentum was stagnant, and in the hall of the mansion with only two people, even the sound of the night wind was a little harsh at this time, and the dwarven warrior began to hate this empty environment, he was more accustomed to the space of three people.
Gerk looked up at a room on the second floor with a closed door.
......
...
"Pierce really doesn't think about it?"
Late at night, the two people who were discussing in the room finally started to enjoy a belated dinner under the protest of their stomachs.
Pierce: "You're overestimating me, Albert, someone like Isaac is qualified to work with you." ”
Albert hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth and retorted: "But you came up with the idea of automatic reel, in my opinion you are qualified enough to join the Ministry of Science, believe me, Mr. Minkowski must have no problem with him, I will let him agree to your membership." ”
Pierce: "Albert, do you know that behind this generous invitation of yours is to ask me to abandon my two companions?"
Albert didn't hesitate: "Why not?"
Pierce was stunned, and Albert was also stunned, then slapped himself violently and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that, I just think it's a pity." ”
"It's not a pity. "I've been involved in research, and I might be able to be cheeky enough to tell others that I owe them the bikes they use." ”
And being a bounty hunter with Gerak and Laura is something I never feel sorry for.
Albert: "Okay, then you can at least take this." ”
Pierce: "What is it?"
He was handed a round watch with a two-way shoulder, red on one side and white on the other.
Albert introduced: "This is the direction monitor, have you noticed, the direction pointed by the red arrow is always north, I don't know the specific reason yet, I just stumbled upon it when I was working on the axis in the past few days, I think you bounty hunters often need to go out, so the direction gauge may be able to start working." ”
Pierce smiled, "Thank you, it's very practical, and it reminds me that I have a great friend in the North." ”
Albert said happily, "Not really!"
......
...
It was also late at night, and a certain piece of night sky separated by a thousand mountains was suddenly lit up.
The sky is like a golden-red flower blooming, and a flame falls straight down from the golden light.
The flaming phoenix fell from the sky into the world.
The sound of the phoenix pierced the tranquility of Phoenix, and the six huge magic energy stones immediately stopped, bowing their heads and surrendering, and the entire free city was paralyzed.
The phoenix's golden feet happened to fall on the two stone statues of the Magic Research Institute, the four claws pinched the upper body of the stone statues, the burning phoenix spread its wings, as if covering the starry sky, the outer wall collapsed, the flowing magic power was burned out, and the entire magic research institute seemed to be stripped of its clothes and exposed in front of everyone's eyes.
The Burning Phoenix just stood, as if waiting for something, but since the phoenix fell, no one in the entire Magic Research Institute dared to make a single resistance, and even the entire Free City chose to become a blind man and ignored it.
In the end, the bored phoenix fluttered its wings, soared into the air with the phoenix chirping, and gradually disappeared in the swirling firelight.
Hidden in the darkness, the man in monocles sighed: "The inhuman realm is really inhuman. ”
The man touched his chin, tilted his head to look at the burning phoenix that was about to disappear from view, and secretly rejoiced in his heart.
It's okay, they didn't come to me.
.....
...
In the morning of a new day, the wind and snow have subsided, the sun has been shining all over the land for a long time, and the sunny winter weather is a great time to travel.
Teresa came to the door early, intended to see off the bounty hunters, and brought Duke Eddard, who didn't wake up at first glance, which made the dwarven warriors sigh again that the lord of Luxembourg is really bad.
As soon as Albert got into the carriage, he stuck his head out and asked, "Pierce, are you really thinking about going back to Phoenix with me?"
The dwarven warrior straightened up, and the enchanter bowed his head sharply.
Pierce: "Albert, we talked about it yesterday. ”
Albert shrugged: "Well, I just wanted to give it one last try." ”
Gerak loosened, and Laura lifted her head.
Pierce, who had always been a careful observer, noticed that his two companions seemed a little strange, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Laura smiled, and Gerak snorted heavily.
It baffled Pierce.
Teresa: "Well, be careful on the road when you bring your things." ”
Louis: "Your Highness, we are seeing off, not driving people." ”
Teresa: "I know, every time you have to say two sentences, then why don't you talk about this guy, he is still dozing off when he sees him off!"
One of the guys shuddered, opened his eyes and looked around blankly.
After a final farewell, the carriage starts slowly after a long journey, and sets out on the way home.
