Transform people.

This is a very broad concept.

Most of the time it comes from construction mages.

The two main directions of building magicians, martial arts warriors with guns and artillery, and mechanics who purely use machinery, will be transformed.

Generally, the firearms and instruments themselves are modified, but some fanatics even extend the mechanical design to their own bodies.

By turning part of your body into a mechanical device, you can better operate the machine and gain more power.

Trevithick is clearly the machinist of this genre.

"This thing is called a dial indicator. It can measure the opponent's energy and estimate the difference at ordinary times. This thing is very useful when doing mechanical design."

The young man waved his hand: "Although I know it looks strange, it's actually quite useful."

"It's not that strange." The little round face commented.

Trevithick was very calm: "Not everyone can accept body modification... I also made a lot of determination at the beginning."

The young man grinned: "But now I really like it."

Yuan Qingci didn't have much to say. She observed the young man in front of her and thought seriously.

"Speaking of which, is the Gear Institute one of the nine institutes?"

Zhao Guangli asked.

"That's right." Yuan Qingci took a sip of the bitter coffee in his hand and frowned like a crescent moon: "The Gear Academy is the only one among the nine academies that is completely led by a construction mage. Its attainments in machinery are...

Far superior to any other academy, including our Tianqi Academy."

"This is absolutely incomparable."

Yuan Qingci put two pieces of sugar and tried again.

"Trevithick Watt, I've heard your name."

Yuan Qingci showed her face at this moment: "You are a very famous genius."

ah.

Zhao Guangli looked at the bird's nest head in front of him with some confusion.

Yes, this young man wearing goggles with messy bird's nest hair and wearing brown and oil-stained work clothes turns out to be a famous genius?

Trevithick scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"By the way, you don't have a title yet?"

Yuan Qingci replied with a smile: "Yuan Qingci, a preparatory student at Tianqi Academy."

Zhao Guangli waved his hand: "Zhao Guangli, a preparatory student at Tianqu Academy."

Su Lin was also very presentable: "Su Lin, Haihuangyuan's signature graduate."

It has to be said that Tianquyuan is still very famous, at least this seemingly ignorant young man has been shocked.

"Dad once said that the best academy in the Tianxun Alliance is the Tianxu Academy!"

"No wonder the combat power values ​​of the two of them are so high."

The young man grinned, showing a look of understanding.

Combat strength value?

Zhao Guangli was a little stunned, what was this guy talking about.

Could it be that I have watched too much Dragon Ball?

Trevithick put his right hand on his goggles.

"Brother Zhao Guangli... his combat power value is around 1,200 points, which is already considered the top level among trainees."

"The Miss Yuan on the left has a combat power value of around 1,800... This is already the highest value I have ever seen."

Zhao Guangli became somewhat interested at this moment: "Is that the power of your glasses?"

The young man smiled shyly: "This is just a gadget I made myself. It is similar to a plug-in. It can only be used to measure energy below the official level. In fact, it is biased from the perspective of this effect."

"Then have you ever tested yourself?"

Yuan Qingci found it a bit interesting.

Trevithick shook his head: "That's not true. Dad said that my plug-in egg is of no use. It is simply a waste. If I have this time, I might as well study my own mechanical devices. Those next-generation..."

Boom!

Before Trevithick finished speaking, a violent roar came from beneath the ground.

What followed was a terrifying malice.

"Below! There is a high-frequency energy reaction!"

Su Lin's voice rang in Zhao Guangli's ears.

As if the steam was out of control, countless heat waves shot up from the cracks in the ground.

The people dining around began to panic and ran away frantically.

But in an instant, these people were evaporated directly by the heat wave rushing up from the ground.

Yuan Qingci turned into a shadow, and Zhao Guangli stretched out his hand to grab Trevithick on his side, and instantly appeared outside the glass window of the restaurant.

Boom!

Boom!

Bang!

A huge explosion echoed through the sky.

The heat wave completely engulfed everything.

Yuan Qingci emerged from the shadow and stood side by side with Zhao Guangli.

Those ordinary people were completely unable to escape in such a short period of time. There were only wailings in the distance, but after a short period of time, even the wailings ceased to exist.

"This is an underground pipe bursting and steam exploding the chamber."

Trevithick's face turned pale and he staggered a little: "How could such a thing happen?"

"Logically speaking, even in Bell Tower City, the underground steam pipelines need to be inspected every three days. It is absolutely impossible for such a situation to happen."

The steam pipe exploded just below the restaurant where Zhao Guangli and others were having dinner.

Zhao Guangli vaguely felt something was wrong.

Could it really be such a coincidence?

The little round face turned away, somewhat unable to bear to see the tragedy ahead.

Soon, soldiers from the city defense army arrived and took control of the situation.

"Those people again..." Trevithick said angrily, "They were the ones who took me to the Blood Cavern."

Zhao Guangli hesitated for a moment: "Those people are the city defense troops of Tianquyuan. They are an official organization. They should not take action privately."

"unless……"

"Unless there's a mole."

The little round face came from the side with a serious expression: "It was the same at Marcel Manor before. Why did the city defense army leave during the previous inspection? To put it bluntly, it was because there was a mole in the city defense army."

"Now, this little bird's nest has also proved this." Yuan Qingci couldn't remember the name of this dear friend, so he could only say a little embarrassed.

Trevithick had not yet understood who Little Bird's Nest was, and his eyes scanned the traces of burst steam pipes ahead.

The ground was stained with water. Trevithick moved slightly closer and then looked down.

"It's weird..."

The young man whispered: "These steam pipes don't seem to burst naturally, but someone cut them off artificially."

"It was the same thing with the previous fire. There was gunpowder escaping in the air."

"It's all...all man-made, this is not an accident!"

Trevithick said, becoming more determined.

Yuan Qingci and Zhao Guangli looked at each other.

The two of them knew about the fire on Youfang Street before. Yuan Qingci was still sad for a long time and thought it was an accident.

It seems now...

At this moment, the sky is still raining lightly.

High-temperature steam rises, making the entire environment hazy.

People always like to watch the excitement, and the people in the Emperor's Capital are no exception.

On the periphery of the burst steam pipe, countless citizens stopped and watched.

One of the figures in a black trench coat fastened his hat and turned around to leave.
