Extraordinary Mechanical City

The splitting war of the Omar Empire lasted for a full year before it showed signs of stopping.

Although the fourth prince Muller occupies the imperial capital "Usenbar", the Spgreen royal family has completely lost control of the old aristocratic group.

Then, the former "Omar Seventy-two Provinces" was completely split into more than twenty principalities, large and small.

Just like the Warring States Period in Rennes' previous life, there were exchanges between various territories, and they also attacked each other to compete for resources.

Omar collapsed, and the interests of those old nobles remained the same.

Even without allegiance to the imperial power, they got more things.

And the eighth prince, Abel, brought Omar's strongest mechanical city [City of Destruction] and Roscoe, one of Omar's original three "Machine Masters", secretly connected to Sid's line, Oma South stands firm.

Originally, the Sid Empire had coveted Omar's steam technology for many years, and Grandmaster Rothko's plan to instigate rebellion was also carried out many years ago.

Unexpectedly, the great master who had gone through untold hardships to dig out was like a younger brother in front of the "Black Dragon Mechanical Academy" who turned out to be born.

Originally holding the ambition of dominating the Ice Ridge Wasteland, he split Omar and obtained the coveted steam machinery technology.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I got it, I found that it was a technology that was decades behind.

I am afraid that those high-level officials in Sid will have a lot of feelings about it.

Moreover, they also desperately found that this gap is getting bigger and bigger.

The development speeds of Sid College and Black Dragon College in the mechanical field are not at the same level at all.

One still continues the old-fashioned aristocratic academy, and the other is a truly free science academy.

There is no aristocratic class system in Black Dragon City, and the academy is open to everyone.

Because of this, the academy recruited a large number of children from civilian families with mechanical talents.

The mechanics from the Omar Royal Academy of Sciences who went to Black Dragon City also injected fresh blood into the "Black Dragon Academy of Mechanics". These mentors and apprentices who had already mastered a wealth of mechanical knowledge quickly adapted to their new lives.

They studied, researched, invented, and created. In this short period of one year, the number of students in the Black Dragon City Mechanical Academy has expanded dozens of times.

Even though the upper echelons of the Sid Empire knew all the operating principles of the Black Dragon Academy, they couldn't imitate it at all.

No, it cannot be imitated by any other territory.

Not to mention the hardware of the gap in technological level, it is impossible to change the aristocratic centralized system that has lasted for thousands of years.

This is the bottom line that the veteran nobles stick to.

Once the nobles lose their superior rights, Sid, an ancient empire that has been passed down for thousands of years, will immediately collapse.

Therefore, it is impossible for the academies in other territories to be open to civilians.

Although Sid's think tanks have also thought about repeating the old tricks, using methods like Roscoe, the great master of Omar, to steal technology and talents from Black Dragon City.

After all, Black Dragon Academy's enrollment is open to everyone, and there are more opportunities to take advantage of.

But they found that it couldn't be done.

The technology that can be stolen is always superficial.

It is impossible to instigate the core technical talents of the academy!

Black Dragon City has everything Sid can promise them.

But what Black Dragon City has, Sid can't get it out.

For those mechanics who want to study technology with great concentration, they don't really care about any rights or titles.

Only the Black Dragon Academy has a truly free research environment.

Only here can we have the top technology, the top mechanics, and the most harmonious communication circle

Of course, there is also the special preferential treatment policy issued by Rennes that "the territory's finances should be guaranteed to the Black Dragon Academy first".

This is something Sid's decadent aristocratic system can't possibly give them.

Therefore, it is impossible to incite rebellion.

It's like a person who has seen the endless sea, how could he look back and yearn for the muddy river?

This is the real "Mechanical City"!

Not only the Mechanical Academy, but also the Magic Academy, the Potion Academy, the Medical Academy, and the Military Academy.

Black Dragon City's advanced ideas in the field of education have surpassed this era too much.

It is also because the black dragon academy recruits students regardless of the status of nobles and commoners, but only according to the level of aptitude, which also allows this academy to recruit a large number of extremely talented students in a short period of time.

These people may be craftsmen, wild hunters, or heirs of ordinary civilian families. They used to be "civilians" who were rejected by the aristocratic academies in various territories.

But in Black Dragon City, they can have the same opportunity to learn knowledge as everyone else.

If the talents are good enough, then they don't even need to spend money, they just need to put in the effort to study, and the academy will reward them with a "scholarship" that is enough to live on.

Also because of this enrollment policy, the refugees who came to Black Dragon City had the idea of ​​"settle down".

People live for a lifetime, not for themselves, but for their children.

In Black Dragon City, everyone can advance to the extraordinary level, and everyone can enjoy an ultra-low tax rate. There is an environment here that makes people see hope in life.

This is also the most important reason for the skyrocketing population.

During this year, Black Dragon City has absorbed a large number of war refugees who were exiled from Omar due to the war, and the down-and-out families

The population also rapidly increased from tens of millions to hundreds of millions.

Of course, the skyrocketing population also means that fish and dragons are mixed.

Among these refugees, there are also spies sent by Glory City, Omar, Sid, and various forces with ulterior motives.

I have to say that Metternich's squinting eyes are really talented.

This guy didn't use much resources to set up a professional secret spy organization for Black Dragon City.

This kind of top strategist can easily deal with those hostile forces that want to destabilize Black Dragon City. All means that the enemy can think of are under his control.

For more than a year, Black Dragon City has been able to develop steadily, thanks to Metternich's contribution.

Also, the guy's political talent is simply amazing.

After all, he was once the chief staff member of Queen Omar's lineage. This guy is proficient in almost everything about territory construction.

Urban planning, personnel management, resource regulation, law.

Everything is perfect, everything is fine.

The half-baked "constitutional monarchy system" that Wren proposed at the beginning, Metternich also proposed many sharp improvements. A series of black dragon collar development plans adapted to this era and this world have been formulated.

On this day, in the hilly area two thousand miles northwest of Black Dragon City.

Black Dragon City has attracted a large number of wild hunters because of its ultra-low "city entry fee". The various large wilderness hunting groups that were originally in Glory City, or the two empires, almost all transferred their main teams to hunt wilderness and treasure.

It is also because of the joining of these experienced wild hunters that the efficiency of resource development near the territory of Black Dragon City has increased countless times.

The hunters will unearth the treasures of ancient civilizations that have been buried for countless years underground. When the hunters become rich, the territory will also prosper.

At the same time, they also discovered various mineral veins, gold mines, iron mines, silver mines, and various rare mineral deposits. This also provided a lot of urgently needed resources for the construction of the territory.

Of course, some people choose to hunt wilderness, and naturally there are phantom thieves who want to get something for nothing.

Somewhere in the dense forest of Qiulin, there is a team of strange thieves lurking here.

They are the "Red Devil Phantom Thieves", which was originally one of the three phantom thieves in the Sid Empire.

The group leader [Blood Demon] Lyudmila is a veteran expert in the fifth level of extraordinary, and he is also a vampire.

Legend has it that this phantom thief group is inextricably linked to the Sid royal family.

"This is probably the biggest thunderstorm this year. It has been thundering for several days and nights, and it makes my ears buzzing."

"Hey, there's been a lot of oil and water these days. If there are a few more fat sheep, we can have a good time for a while."

"This damn weather, it's raining endlessly. I'm afraid there won't be any wild hunters driving in the rain."

"Be careful. Don't be spotted by the blue-tailed hawk in the sky. I heard that there is an army from Black Dragon City nearby looking for us."

"."

Nearly 200 people were ambushed here, all of whom were the main force of the "Red Demon Phantom Thieves".

But at this time, a spy suddenly came to report.

"Head, there are people coming from the west! Hey, there is only one person."

"Only one? How many levels?"

"The perception has been confirmed, it should be the fourth order."

"Those who dare to walk alone in the wilderness are not good people, let's investigate again."

"Captain, the brothers have been idle for a few days, and the birds have faded out of their hands. It's just a fourth-level wilderness hunter. I'll take the second team to solve it. Lone Ranger, maybe you still have something good on you."

"Then be careful."

"Um."

In the distance of the hill, the figure of a lone traveler walks in the wilderness in the rain.

It seems completely unaware that a team of assassins has already touched it quietly.

The leader of the assassins is the captain of the second team of the "Red Devil Phantom Thieves", the Sid Empire has a bounty of 33 million for the great thief, and the fourth-tier assassin [Venom] Keno.

This guy's extraordinary ability is to lurk in the shadows.

He also used this ability to assassinate many fifth-level masters without anyone noticing.

And the rainy day added a bit of cover to his stealth ability.

Gino cautiously lurks on the path that the lone wild hunter must pass.

After the man walked within three to five meters, he was still not found.

"Hehe, this guy is dead!"

Jino sneered in his heart, quietly held the dagger and touched behind the man.

Although he saw a strange gleam in the man's eyes, he didn't care.

Because of this distance, no one can survive under his knife.

There was a murderous aura coming from his back, Ren pouted his mouth, and muttered in his heart: "The ability of shadow stealth, it seems that it should be [Poison Fang] Keno. Tsk tsk, 'Red Demon Thieves', I didn't expect to meet it .”

The assassin lurking in the shadows thought that Renn hadn't noticed him, but in fact, in the see-through eyes of [The Insighter], the vindictiveness flowing in the assassin's body was completely exposed.

Originally wanted to see if it was a wild hunter, but now that the other party has made a move, it is obviously a strange thief who kills and robs.

The assassin's assassination method was very clever, and just as he was about to get violent, the dagger was already attached to Ren's neck.

Ren raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not make any evasive movements.

The next moment, the sharp blade wiped away.

The assassin's face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed in his heart: "Not good!"

Because at this time, he found that the dagger in his hand seemed to be cutting on the masonry, and he couldn't cut through at all, and the edge slid directly.

Taking a closer look, Ren's neck was shining with a layer of pure gold.

"Is this fucking human skin?!"

Jino really couldn't figure out why his dagger didn't cut in.

Even a Tier 4 Transcendence with full toughness growth should not be intact under this knife!

What's more, I still have a dagger in my hand that can cut gold and cut stones!

However, Ren didn't give him time to figure it out, and he pinched the right wrist holding the dagger.

Then just when the assassin wanted to break free and escape, a huge force directly pulled him over.

Jino was terrified, and shouted: "What kind of strange power is this!"

Assassin is also an extraordinary profession that focuses on strength growth. Among the same level, he has never met an opponent who can crush him and can't resist!

Ren's expression was calm throughout the whole process, without even turning his head, he slammed straight over with a fist wrapped in a layer of fighting spirit like asphalt.

Jino secretly said "Oops", and instinctively used his fighting spirit to protect his body, trying to survive the punch, and then look for an opportunity to get away.

Unexpectedly, it was just this punch that killed him directly.

His body armor was like paper, and it couldn't stop that weird fist at all.

It was as if a stone fell on the tofu, and the chest cavity was smashed with a punch.

At this moment, the big thief who had been arrogant in Sid for more than ten years felt that his life was passing by rapidly.

"Pfft~"

A mouthful of blood mixed with broken internal organs spewed out, and the corpse limp on the spot.

Ren glanced at the corpse on the ground, and murmured: "The fourth-rank veteran assassin [Poison Fang] Jino, that's all."

Just one look, no more.

He then turned his gaze to the dense forest several miles away.

In this cloudy and rainy weather where the thunder element is active, Lei Ya has long discovered that there is a group of guys sharpening their knives.

Obviously, it was the assassin's accomplice.

"Snapped!"

There was a burst of air.

As soon as his eyes moved over, Ren's figure disappeared in place.

On the other hand, everyone in the "Red Devil Phantom Thieves" lurking in the dense forest is watching boredly.

From their point of view, the captain of the second team, Jino, personally made the move, and the fourth-tier hunter was dead.

"Hey, how about we take a gamble? Do you think Captain Kino can kill that guy with a few knives?"

"Three knives. The heavy-armored Tier 4 Superman I met last time only ended up with seven or eight knives. This guy who looks like a fighter doesn't have any protective equipment yet, so he can only get three knives at most."

"I think if it is not discovered, it will be two knives at most. One knife wipes the throat, and one knife pierces the chest to make up the knife. I bet ten gold coins!"

"Look, Captain Kino is about to make a move!"

"."

The group members whispered among themselves, and the group leader [Bloodfiend] Lyudmila also thought it should be so.

He is very clear about the strength of his subordinates.

Jino's stealth ability, as long as he doesn't encounter the transcendence of top perception, it will almost kill him.

But!

A scene that no one expected happened.

They watched Jino's dagger wipe the man's neck, and they murmured in their hearts that it was another soul killed by the knife.

Suddenly found that that person actually punched back?

The strange thieves were far away, so they didn't see clearly what happened.

But it seems that the dagger didn't go in?

Because they didn't see the blood.

What's more, just when everyone didn't understand why the fatal knife didn't work, they suddenly watched Captain Jino's chest explode into a cloud of blood mist.

Then, the shock of these "Red Devils" phantom thieves could be seen in their eyes. Before the nerves reflected on their faces, they suddenly saw the figure disappear.

No, it's not gone.

Instead, at a speed almost teleporting, they rushed towards the dense forest where they were hiding!

[Blood Demon] Liudmila suddenly realized something, her face changed suddenly, and she shouted: "No! Prepare to fight!"

For Ren, the distance of a few miles is only two or three breaths.

His current absolute muscle strength has reached an extremely terrifying level, and the speed of casting [Profound Truth·Shenxing] is not much slower than the teleportation of ordinary vampires.

[Blood Demon] Lyudmila looked at the figure rushing towards her, and cursed in her heart: "Fuck, is this one of the 'Ten Great Legends'?"

That speed, can a fourth-order extraordinary possess?

Even he, a vampire with instant body skills, felt his scalp tingle after seeing it.

Renn's purpose is very clear, and he intends to conduct a beheading operation.

According to Lei Ya's perception, there are only two fifth-order transcendents in this dense forest.

And the strongest one is naturally the leader of the "Red Devils" [Blood Demon] Lyudmila.

At this moment, he didn't hold back his fighting spirit any more, his skin gleamed with dazzling golden light, like pouring pure gold.

This is a sign of the great achievement of the "Shen Gang Realm"!

Seeing that the other party completely ignored her two hundred people, Lyudmila's pupils shrank suddenly, and she also lost her temper.

snort!

Even if the "Ten Legends" came, they would not dare to be so arrogant!

In the next moment, the fifth-order extraordinary elemental armor condensed on the body surface, and his appearance also turned into a vampire with blue face and fangs.

Those pair of steel claws were more like dipped in black paint, with a hint of metallic luster.

Just when the little guys in the Phantom Thieves didn't react at all.

Ren has already rushed into the jungle.

He went straight to the leader Lyudmila, who was not to be outdone, and Iron Claw naturally came to his chest.

Blood races are good at hand-to-hand combat, and their bodies are the best weapons.

Generally speaking, with the full force of a fifth-order vampire, even the same-level superhumans can't avoid it, and the low-level superhumans can't do it in an instant.

But Ren didn't mean to dodge at all, and punched him with a punch.

The two sides hit each other almost at the same time, and then a wave of "bang" exploded, and both retreated a hundred meters at the same time.

Both sides exerted their full strength in this attack, and the aftermath of the air wave directly overturned the large bushes in the dense forest.

But after the two were beaten, their reactions were completely different.

Ren stepped back a hundred meters before stopping his body.

He rubbed his tingling chest, and muttered, "Sure enough, it's a little bit reluctant. This guy is resistant to fighting, not only because of fighting spirit, but also because the flesh of the vampire itself is like cast iron."

The difference is that killing that Tier 4 assassin just now is like hitting a tofu with a punch; but beating this guy is like hitting a rock.

However, it was uncomfortable for the other party to suffer from his punch.

Not far away, [Blood Demon] Lyudmila spat out a mouthful of old blood.

He looked down and saw a finger-thick sunken fist mark on his chest!

After this move, he looked at Ren not far away again, and his face became very bad.

Tier 4 is Tier 4

But this punch directly broke the fighting spirit of his old fifth-level body protection!

Where did this fucking freak come from? !
