Magic Industrial Age

19 Lombard Street, second floor, study.

Loye sat behind his desk, looking up in surprise: "Didn't catch him? Really? That shouldn't be possible, right?"

It's no wonder Loye found it unbelievable. Although the Silver Sea is vast, there were three Imperial Navy warships and at least three extraordinary powerhouses.

A head-on confrontation would have been enough to send Gies fleeing in embarrassment. How could they really have let him escape?

Hoover explained: "Ang arranged manpower next to the Arkali military port. Yesterday, they saw three warships returning from a distance and immediately ran to report.

After I got the news, I went to Sir Karl Bratt's rose garden again and made a special inquiry."

"According to the news from the navy, Gies was defeated and fled on the last basilisk.

Although it was very fast, both he and the basilisk were injured, and they originally couldn't escape.

But Gies was also cunning. He first led them to a dead end and used the dying basilisk to lure a giant crab sea beast to attack, catching the navy off guard.

However, the navy also had a clear goal. They left two warships to entangle with the giant crab, and the remaining one chased after Gies."

"However, just as they were about to succeed, one of the three great pirate kings of the Silver Sea, the Ghost Mist Pirate Group, suddenly came out and forced the naval warship away."

" Ghost Mist Pirate Group?"

Loye chewed on this sentence, and information surfaced in his mind. Although the Silver Sea is not as vast as the endless ocean, piracy is rampant.

Among them, the most famous are the three recognized pirate kings, each with its own special characteristics.

The most special thing about this Ghost Mist Pirate Group is that their warships are magic ships. Wherever they go, there are shadows and mist accompanying them, making them the most elusive.

Even if the Habsburg Empire's warships do not lack magic cannons, they are very passive when they cannot lock onto the target.

Moreover, the Ghost Mist Pirate Group always stirs up a thick fog when attacking. If you are accidentally shrouded in it, unable to discern directions and see the enemy clearly, you will become a living target.

Therefore, when facing this pirate group, the recognized methods are either to escape, escape as quickly as possible, or surrender and pay for peace.

It is worth mentioning that pirates also seek wealth and value sustainable development. Basically, they don't do things to the point of extermination.

After all, if all the merchant ships are scared away, they will starve to death!

Of course, this situation does not include the warships of various countries!

Therefore, when they noticed the mist spreading and the ghost ships appearing, the naval warship chose to flee very obediently.

Then, they lost Gies!

They also knew that losing Gies this time would be very troublesome. Therefore, the three warships wandered at sea for many days until their food and water were almost gone. Only then did they have to return in dismay.

After finishing the news, seeing Loye immersed in thought, Hoover was slightly melancholy and couldn't help but open his mouth: "Young master, now that Gies has escaped, will we be in trouble in the future?"

"After all, his wealth is in the young master's hands!"

Loye came back to his senses, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but chuckle: "Let's not talk about whether I'm afraid even if he comes, let alone that it's not my turn to worry now.

You think that once this news spreads and there is an excuse, some people will not take advantage of the situation.

If things get too big, maybe the empire will have to send ironclad ships or really powerful people to intervene. That will be exciting enough."

"Young master, what do you mean?"

Loye looked at him and said: "Everything has a time limit. Don't you think it's a bit abnormal that the God's Grace Festival massacre has been over for so long and the entire Auckland City is still noisy?"

"Some people are eager to make some noise!"

Seeing that Hoover was about to say more, Loye waved his hand and changed the subject: "How is Maruna doing?"

Hoover replied: "Eight families have already been negotiated, and two more are finalizing the details, each investing one thousand gold Thalers, totaling ten thousand."

"What about the banquet?"

" Proust Manor has prepared almost everything. Master, rest assured, this is a compulsory course for every butler.

It's just that the specific time has not been finalized. We need to send out the invitations a few days in advance."

Loye calculated in his mind and said: "Then set the time for ten days later, on February 20th. Send invitations to everyone who can be invited and let everyone witness our signing reception."

"Okay!"

……

After seeing off Hoover, the butler, Loye went through the side door of the second floor and entered room 18 again.

However, he did not go to his potion laboratory, but turned his footsteps to the room inside.

The layout of room 18 on Lombard Street is almost exactly the same as that of room 19. This second floor naturally has more than just one room.

And this room has been transformed into Lilia's study and studio.

She wants to complete her mechanical design work here, especially drawing and the like.

Loye did not knock on the door, nor did he need to knock on the door, but directly pushed the door and walked in, and saw the light of the magic crystal lamp shining in the room.

Lilia was holding a paper in one hand and a quill in the other, constantly circling around the desk, occasionally leaning over to write and draw, the sound of paper rustling non-stop.

Today, she was wearing a loose green robe, which looked large, but could not hide her beautiful figure.

Especially when she leaned over, she could reveal a large area of ​​snow white and looming round peaks.

With just one glance, Loye felt a heat wave surging downwards.

Perhaps his gaze was too hot, Lilia seemed to feel something, immediately looked up, made eye contact, and covered her chest with a look of shame and anger.

"Where are you looking?"

Loye smiled: "It's not like I haven't seen it before, I've even touched it!"

"You rascal!"

"I thought teacher liked rascals!"

"Bah!"

Lilia couldn't resist Loye's dirty words, and quickly changed the subject, saying: "You, are you here to find me for something?

If you have nothing to do, don't mess with my work here!"

Loye asked: "Is there any news about the mobile magic hammer forging machine?"

"It's not as simple as you think, especially integrating the magic circle into the hammer forging machine is more troublesome than imagined.

On the other hand, the magic forging machine only needs different shapes of molds, which is much simpler."

After a pause, she added: "However, it can be used temporarily by laying magic circles on the ground.

Is it really necessary to demonstrate at the banquet? Isn't it a bit rude?"

"Good wine is also afraid of deep alleys! We have to let people know about our good things.

Don't worry, I'll arrange this. You have to ensure that there is a magic hammer forging machine running in Proust Manor in ten days."

"Ten days? Then I have to arrange it tomorrow, and I have to find a few brothers and sisters from the academy to help!"

"Then spend more money, don't let others think we are stingy, and also, for the banquet ten days later, if any mages from the Moonstone Magic Tower are interested, you can also send an invitation!"

"Well, I'll ask!"

"Then so be it."

最⊥新⊥小⊥说⊥在⊥六⊥9⊥⊥书⊥⊥吧⊥⊥首⊥发(最⊥新⊥小⊥说⊥在⊥六⊥9⊥⊥书⊥⊥吧⊥⊥首⊥发: The latest novels are first published on 69 Bookstore)!

While speaking, Loye had already walked up to Lilia. Lilia didn't feel anything at first, but when she turned around, she found that Loye was too close, and his eyes were too hot.

"You, what do you want to do?"

"That, cough cough, I haven't exercised my muscles and bones today!"

"Don't, don't, not here!"

"Don't you think it's exciting here?"

"No, don't!"

An hour later, Lilia fell softly on the desk, her face as red as an apple, her eyes resentful.

And Loye moved his muscles and bones, and looked satisfied in the crackling sound!

A young body is impulsive!

But being young is really good!

……

In the following three days, Loye chose to take a leave of absence, giving the reason that he was going to hold a banquet, but in fact, he had never been to Proust Manor.

On the other hand, Lilia left the next day. Moving the magic hammer forging machine and arranging the magic circle is actually a huge project.

And Loye, stayed at home to adjust his state.

Every day, in addition to breathing exercises and meditation, he even stopped the high-intensity physical training that he never stopped.

Then use the ' Scarlet Blood Magic Potion' and ' Roy Fitz Warrior Secret Potion' to condition the body, and strive to adjust himself to the best state within three days.

In his spare time, he was in the potion laboratory, observing the changes of the magic core and processing various auxiliary materials.

For example, ambergris, take at least half of it and grind it into a fine powder.

For example, golden fruit, decocted into a special golden liquid, like flowing gold.

There is also Minotaur grass, which requires shaving the complete tendons on the leaves before it can be used as medicine.

There is Thorium armor, which must be alive for more than ten years, and seven golden spots grow on the silver back armor to be effective.

There is a large piece of ice crystal, pearl into powder, sapphire and coral worms, etc.

Basically, they are extremely rare and expensive materials, and they are particularly troublesome to handle. Loye is also very careful in carrying out the operation, and let Deep Blue monitor at all times.

As for the outside world, the entire Auckland City, as Loye said, broke out in a huge riot when the navy returned and confirmed that Gies was not dead.

This time, I really don't know how many people surrounded the City Hall and Arkali military port and began to sit in protest.

If people with no status do this, it will only attract beatings and detention,

But if the leaders are nobles and wealthy merchants, it is another matter.

Anyway, it's a mess!

Three days later, in the potion laboratory, Loye took out the Arcadia crystal that had been soaked for three days, put it on a tray, and gently crushed it with his hands.

The magic core, looking like a crystal on the outside, is actually not, but a kind of elemental crystal.

It has amazing elasticity and steel-like hardness, and is difficult to destroy under normal circumstances.

Of course, if you have to destroy it by various means, it is not impossible, but the power of the elements will teach you how to be a human being.

Even the extraordinary will not be willing to withstand the elemental explosion caused when a low-level beast crystal core is destroyed.

However, after special treatment, now after three days, when Loye crushed it with his hands, this Arcadia crystal turned into grains of broken sand as if it had collapsed.

Loye spent half an hour grinding it finely, and then poured it into another crucible.

As a result, the prepared medicinal liquid began to boil, and the color of the light golden liquid became darker and darker, eventually turning into a dark golden color, and also emitting a metallic luster.

The temperature of the medicinal liquid also reached an extremely exaggerated level, boiling like magma, bubbling.

And every time, when the foam burst, a force visible to the naked eye spread outward.

Loye turned off the fire and waited quietly until the temperature dropped before he lifted the crucible and poured it out carefully.

Don't look at the many materials, but only three magic potion bottles the size of an adult's thumb were filled, and they were gone!

After plugging the bottle mouth, Loye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Until then, Olivera came closer. He looked at the potion and said, "I'll come first!"

Loye waved his hand, picked up a bottle of ' Sacred Lava Heart' secret medicine that looked like golden lava, and moved his muscles and bones again.

"No, this matter should naturally be done by me!"
