Royal Alchemist

Zhuo Fan then studied with Archibald and became his assistant. After a few months, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he passed the examination of an intermediate alchemist. Even the alchemists who studied smelting from a young age were inferior to him.

Zhuo Fan came to the laboratory as usual that day, saw Archibald receiving guests, and was about to leave when Archibald stopped him.

"Zhuo Fan, come here."

Sitting opposite Archibald was a slender man with a charming smile, with a bit of laziness in his elegant demeanor.

"Dean Clark." Zhuo Fan greeted politely.

Archibald's guest was Gordon Clark, the dean of the Royal Academy of Sciences, a heavyweight in the Clark family of the alchemy family.

Gordon smiled and said, "Sit down, don't be restrained."

Archibald snorted: "Your action is too fast, you want to rob me before I'm hot, just like a robber."

Gordon took a sip of tea leisurely and contentedly: "Even if I don't look for you, I will look for Elder Zhuo. In short, you can't escape. Who told you to hide a treasure?"

"It's still undecided."

Gordon looked at Zhuo Fan, and asked with what he thought was the most amiable smile: "Zhuo Fan, are you willing to work for the Royal Academy of Sciences?"

The Royal Academy of Sciences is a place where the best auxiliary alchemists of the Solomon Empire are gathered. It has the most abundant resources and the most high-end alchemy laboratory. Every auxiliary alchemist is proud to work or has worked in the Academy of Sciences.

Zhuo Fan was naturally looking forward to it, but he still looked at Archibald first.Archibald saw the hope in his eyes, and it would be a good thing for any auxiliary alchemist to enter the Royal Academy of Sciences, and he would not stop it under any circumstances.

It's just that Archibald is a little depressed, and Dean Clark's speed of robbing people is too fast.

"Great." Gordon was satisfied, "I always thought I would recruit an excellent Zhuo family alchemist, but I didn't expect to become a mechanic. But it doesn't matter, anyway, I hired another genius alchemist this year." Pharmacist, and still very young."

"Take it away, I have one more thing to ask you." Archibald said.

"Don't worry, I will assign him to your group and continue to work with you before doing independent research."

"That's not what I want to talk about." Archibald waved his hand, "I hope you can write a letter of recommendation for Xiao Zhuo, recommending him to go to the Legion for technical support."

The technical support in the legion is basically to deal with the failure of fighter planes and warships, but why did the teacher send him to be a mechanic?Zhuo Fan was puzzled.

"No problem." Gordon readily agreed, "Which legion do you want to go to?"

Zhuo Fan said: "Uh, I don't have any particular intention to go, it's all the same."

"Let's go to the Legion of Glory. There are a few friends of mine there, so it's easier to take care of them."

Gordon made a decision in this way, and at the same time, he inadvertently decided on a matter that would have a profound impact on Zhuo Fan for the next few decades.

After Gordon left, Zhuo Fan asked Archibald: "Teacher, why do you want me to be a technical consultant? You have so many jobs here, and you don't have enough manpower. Do you think I'm not good enough?"

Archibald looked at Zhuo Fan, and in his eyes was the strictness of the teacher to the students, and the love of the elders to the younger generation: "You have almost learned the basics, and I don't want to wear down your aura with tedious work. Fighting opportunities are not dead Objects, they are alive, they are made to fight, you should go to the place closest to the battlefield to feel the vitality of the fighter.”

Zhuo Fan has been thinking about this sentence all his life.

-

Zhuo Fan is very happy to be able to come to the Legion of Glory.Because the Legion of Glory is the most powerful legion of the Solomon Empire, it is the legion of General Ravenor, the god of war. Over the years, the dragonmen have appeared more and more frequently. famous.It is the dream of every bloody person to see this god of the army up close.

Zhuo Fan came to the garrison of the Legion of Glory and quickly adapted to the environment here.He has a gentle and friendly personality, and is also very young. He quickly became one with the resident mechanics and became the chief mechanic's assistant to handle affairs on his behalf.

There are generally two types of mechanics here. One is ordinary soldiers, who are mainly responsible for repairing general mechanical failures. Many combat-type fighter pilots also major in mechanical repairs. The other is auxiliary-type alchemists. Zhuo Fan joined the latter to participate in the daily maintenance and repair of fighter jets.

But there are not many soldiers in the station recently, and most of the fighters are not at the base.

"They're going on an expedition." Partner Link said, "The day before you came, they just received an order saying that there were dragonmen near the planet Aya, and General Ravenor immediately led people to drive them away."

Others in the restaurant also gathered to chat.

Some people said that they had received news that they had won, some joked that he boasted every time he claimed to have inside information, and some said that as long as General Ravenor was there, he would be invincible.

While chatting happily, the TV in the dining room switched screens.

A handsome and strong man like a sun god appeared on the screen. It was General Ravenor.Everyone fell silent and waited with bated breath.

When Ravenor announced that the war was over and they were victorious, the dining room erupted in cheers when they sailed back the same day.

"Glory is undefeated! Let's raise a glass to another victory for the general!" One person stood up, holding only the drink for dinner.

Everyone responded. "Glory is undefeated!" They proudly raised their drinking glasses, their faces were full of passion and joy.

At that moment, Zhuo Fan felt his heart beat faster.He grew up obediently in schools and laboratories since he was a child. Although he attended a military academy and had a military status, he never had the opportunity to experience this pure-blooded joy.

At this moment his blood was burning.

If you don't understand the battlefield, how can you create a fighter that is born for the battlefield?

He also picked up the cup and touched Link: "Glory is undefeated!"

The main force returned to the base in the afternoon of the second day, and Zhuo Fan and the others quickly got busy. The fighters and warships damaged in the war must be repaired and replaced in time to ensure that the soldiers can have good cars in the next battle.

This was Zhuo Fan's first time seeing the generals' fighter planes. Link introduced them to him one by one and recorded the damage.

"This black fighter plane belongs to General Ravenor. To be honest, it is very old. We all suggested that the general change to a newer model of fighter plane, but he refused."

General Ravenor's fighter plane is pure black, tall and stable, full of power and deterrence, and people can't help feeling afraid when they see it.Since it did not directly participate in the battle, there was no damage and only normal maintenance was required.

Next to the black fighter plane is a light green fighter plane. It is a slender fighter plane with agility and speed. A giant longbow is placed at the foot of the fighter plane.

"This is General Qiu Xingyao's fighter plane. I personally think it is the most beautiful." Link smiled. "We all call him General Ranger. Look how beautiful the arc of this bow is."

It's a pity that the fighter's chest was cut by a sharp weapon with a crack across the body, which looked a little hideous.

Zhuo Fan checked the fighter plane again: "Fortunately, it only looks serious, and it hid in time, and it didn't hurt the inside."

Link buried his head in recording, and came to the next fighter plane: "Ah, this one is badly damaged. This is General Yuan Tian's fighter plane. He must have rushed ahead."

This fighter plane is dark yellow, and it is also a power-type route. The left arm is almost smashed, the metal wires are exposed, and there are many other damages.

Zhuo Fan touched the cracked casing, and for some reason, a dark yellow fighter plane appeared in his mind leading his men to charge into battle, bravely fighting a bloody path under the fierce attack of the enemy.

"My team is here to repair this fighter," Zhuo Fan said.

"Okay, no problem." Link continued to record.

Zhuo Fan looked at it and found a phenomenon, the most advanced fighters of the Legion of Glory are only A-level, even including General Ravenor's.Basically, the commanders of all legions are flying S-class fighters, with the exception of General Ravenor.

"Actually, His Majesty the Emperor wanted to build an S-class fighter plane for the general several times, but the general said that it was impossible for him to drive the fighter plane to the battlefield, so he always refused. The general is really a selfless person." Link sighed.

Zhuo Fan keenly discovered that although there are no S-level fighters, the Glory Legion has more A-level fighters than other legions. It is far more than worth the money to exchange one person's vanity for an improvement in the combat effectiveness of the entire legion.Moreover, the mechanics equipped by each legion are only high-level mechanics at most, and high-level mechanics can only repair A-level fighters at most. Once an S-level fighter fails, it must be sent back to the rear to be repaired by a great alchemist, which is time-consuming and laborious. It also delays time, which is not beneficial at all.

I'm afraid this is the real scale in the general's heart. General Ravenor is indeed a man of great wisdom.

However, it seems that it is not a good thing that everyone is drunk and I am sober.

However, Zhuo Fan was pure-hearted and didn't think deeply, and continued to check the fighter plane.

When they almost had a clear understanding of the situation of all the fighters and began to discuss the maintenance plan, two people walked in while talking.

"Next time, let me be the vanguard. Seeing how embarrassed you are in the front this time, I will sweat for you."

"Get out! Just shoot cold arrows in the back."

"Not convinced? I'll go tell the general."

The person walking in front has black hair and black eyes, and there are two intoxicating dimples at the corners of his mouth when he smiles, which is very friendly.

"General Qiu!" Link stood at attention and saluted, looking at the visitor with admiration.

Qiu Xingyao returned the gift with a smile, and when he saw Zhuo Fan, he greeted eagerly: "You must be Zhuo Fan, right? Gordon told me about you. I heard that you are already a researcher of the Academy of Sciences, and a student of Archibald." ? Ah, what a promising young man."

Zhuo Fan shook hands with him humbly: "Thank you, General Qiu."

"Since you are from Gordon, I won't be too polite with you. We will leave our fighter planes to you. Be gentle with them."

Zhuo Fan noticed that a strange gaze was staring at him, and after looking for the gaze, he saw a somewhat familiar face with an O-shaped mouth.

Yuan Tian stood behind Qiu Xingyao, staring in disbelief.The white, clean, gentle and handsome face in front of him, with a pair of glasses, overlapped with a face with dirty and disheveled hair like a bird's nest.

"Why are you here? You don't pick up trash anymore?" Yuan Tian uttered misfortune again.

Zhuo Fan was taken aback when he saw the general star on Yuan Tian's shoulder, and then heard Yuan Tian's words, his gentle face suddenly sank, and ten thousand mud horses galloped past in his heart.
