Artificer Adventure Guide

While Carl was further modifying the gun structure at home, a riot was going on at the gate of Vinarn University in Fairhaven.

"We protest the construction of this device! Art should be presented in front of the audience, not through this machine!"

In the crowd, an actor in performance clothes was leading other members of the drama club to stop the construction of the phantom device.

They were like the workers who took the lead in smashing the automatic looms during the Industrial Revolution, fighting against the tide of the times.

The difference was that one of the people responsible for building the phantom device was the tower master of the Strange Machine Tower. As a level 20 strange machine master, he could kill the group of people in front of him with just one thought.

"Where did you know the purpose of this device!"

Sitting on a mechanical suspension chair, the tower master of the Strange Machine Tower, Malchi, had a cold face and asked the actor who was shouting at the top of his lungs in a cold voice.

A medium-sized steel guard protected him faintly, and two magic turrets were gradually solidifying from the void behind him.

The boundaries of the three sub-jobs of the Artificer, except the Alchemist, will gradually blur as the Artificer's level continues to increase.

Especially the Field Craftsman and the Magic Cannon Master, whose sub-job characteristics of making magic cannons and iron guards are actually derived from the common characteristic of the Artificer - [Handy Tools].

As long as the intelligence attribute is sufficient, coupled with the various characteristics of the Artificer, a level 20 Artificer can easily use the Handy Tools characteristic to magically create the prototypes of the Magic Energy Turret and Iron Guard, and then use the Infusion ability to give them magic patterns to turn them into weapons.

"You, what you are doing is a blasphemy against art!"

The actor who made trouble shouted this sentence with the greatest courage in his life.

But his courage ended there. Looking at the magic energy turret that automatically lit up, his legs softened and he collapsed directly to the ground.

"Don't let me keep repeating the same question! Tell me! Where did you know the function of this device!"

Standing up from the mechanical suspension seat, Malchi looked at the actor below, with anger in his eyes.

At this moment, a roar sounded from nearby.

Before the people around him could react, a shell hit Malchi, and the thick smoke caused by the explosion enveloped him. Some of the actors who were demonstrating around him were affected by the explosion, but they were not killed.

"Ah~, you use this method to deal with me?"

A flat voice sounded from the smoke, and suddenly, the smoke was twisted by some force, and something seemed to fly out of the smoke, leaving a hole in the smoke.

The next second, a violent explosion occurred in the direction where the shell was fired.

The smoke and dust dissipated, and Malchi was wearing a metal armor that fit his body perfectly, suspended in the air.

The blue magic surrounded him, and the gray robe moved with the wind without any damage.

At this time, he was like Iron Man who became the Supreme Sorcerer in Marvel, and the power of technology and magic appeared on him together.

Leaning forward, Malchi's figure disappeared in an instant, and when he appeared again, he had come to a space 15 feet away.

With this ability, he quickly rushed to the place of the explosion.

The guy who was suspected of attacking him had died in the explosion.

Malchi caught the power of the kingdom of the dead from the breath that had not yet dissipated.

"Is it the Blood of Vol? Or the Emerald Claw?"

The Blood of Vol is a relatively radical religious sect. Their founder believes that everyone has the possibility of becoming a god, but life span limits everyone's divinity.

During the Last War, the Blood of Vol became an important supporter of the Kingdom of Karrnath. The Undead Army of Karrnath and the Knights of the Emerald Claw appeared after the Blood of Vol provided technical support.

For ordinary people, there is no evidence to prove the criminal, but for a professional who is trying to impact the legend, "suspected" and "you" are no different, unless you can't beat the opponent.

"Tower Master, do you need to talk to the School of Illusion?"

Just as Malchi was investigating, Mooreban followed.

He was also wearing armor at this time, but the technical content was obviously not as good as Malchi's.

"Tell me, by the way, my guess is that the criminals are Blood of Wall and Emerald Claw. Go and find out if these two organizations have any activities recently."

"Got it!"

On the other hand, the riot in Fairhaven had just happened, and Vana City received a communication from Andel.

This was also thanks to Vana City notifying the other party as soon as the incident happened.

When Mooreban was ordered to investigate, this information immediately caught his attention.

"Yes, we were attacked by the skeleton knights of Emerald Claw, and the other party tried to break into the city with a lightning train. If nothing unexpected happened, the members on the train should have been killed."

After introducing the current situation of Vana City to Andel, the communicator began to check the list of victims.

After learning about what happened in Fairhaven, both parties agreed that this was another terrorist attack by Emerald Claw.

As for the reason...

Perhaps the Emerald Claw left too deep an impression on people, and Vana City currently only thought that it was a whim of the other party.

But the group of the Tower of Wonders and Queen Andel did not think so.

Especially now that the effects of the Phantom Device have been leaked.

They thought that this was interference by other countries in collusion with Emerald Claw in order to prevent Queen Andel from controlling domestic public opinion, and there might even be some nobles in the country who were interfering.

After all, once the phantom device became popular, the nobles who had lost most of their rights due to the transformation of social forms would be even more precarious.

...

In the evening, Carl's parents returned home one after another.

Ryan finally negotiated the supply of raw materials with the City Hall.

However, the amount of raw materials provided by the City Hall made him a little disappointed.

Cotton, one of the raw materials for nitrocellulose, is enough for Ryan's factory to produce forever, but the more common black gunpowder is only enough for hundreds of thousands of bullets.

As for lead, this thing has no specific use in Eruden, and there are a lot of it in the warehouse.

This made Carl sigh that Eruden is indeed an agricultural country.

However, there are not many raw materials for sulfuric acid, nitric acid and other substances needed to make nitrocellulose.

If you want to manufacture on a large scale, you still need to wait for the rangers of the Demon Wilderness to occupy several raw material production areas, and then send people to mine them.

There are not many other things in the Demon Wilds, but sulfur, poisonous smoke, and acid are all coming out of that land as if they are free.

In the past, the rangers avoided them, but now that these things have their uses, they must be treated well.

In addition, as the sheriff, Elifel brought back news from Fairhaven.

Hearing that the tower owner who was building the phantom device was attacked, Carl couldn't help but sigh that the attacker was really bold.
