I made science magic

"That's it, Mr. Lin En!"

Lauder led Linn all the way to a stop in front of a slightly dilapidated mansion in Nancheng District.

The house seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. The exterior walls were covered with ivy, and the courtyard was overgrown with weeds. Only a few dead trees stood there alone, making a rustling sound when the wind blew.

After walking in, it was very lively inside. There were hundreds of people crowded in the small front hall. Linn recognized at a glance that these people were the sailors who had crossed the sea with Lauder.

However, after not seeing each other for more than half a month, they looked even more embarrassed than when they were drifting at sea for half a month.

Many people's clothes were messy, their faces were sallow, and some bandage marks could be seen on their bodies. There were even several seriously injured sailors lying unconscious on stretchers.

"It's Master Linn!"

When these sailors saw Linn, they immediately gathered around him excitedly, but were quickly stopped by Lauder.

"You all should calm down for a moment. I still have something to discuss with Mr. Lin En!" Laud Lauder persuaded everyone to leave before turning his head and looking at Lin En:

"plz follow me!"

Lin En glanced at everyone present, said nothing, and followed Lauder straight into the inner room.

This is a living room. It looks dilapidated on the outside, but it is very clean inside. The tables, chairs and benches are wiped spotlessly.

"Is there any news that I can tell you now?" Lin En sat down on one of the chairs and asked directly.

"Just today at noon, one of my sailors accidentally discovered a strange wizard apprentice near the residence of [Black Doctor] Ladakh. I think it is likely that he attacked the man named Ralph

The halflings..."

Lauder spoke in detail as much as possible. This wizard apprentice was wearing a black robe. He was about thirty-four or five years old and about one meter seven tall. His walking posture was a bit staggering. He most likely had an injury to his leg. The robe

There are still some traces of acid corrosion on the hem.

Is it because the distance is too close, so while using [Corrosion] to kill Ralph, it also hurts himself?

Lin En thought thoughtfully, it is understandable that an apprentice would make such a mistake.

"In addition, he is very likely to be a member of the [Bloody Thorns]." Lauder said hesitantly.

"Bloody thorns?" Linn paused. If he remembered correctly, this was a very strange potion that required a large amount of blood to be watered in order to bloom into the most brilliant flowers.

But the other party was definitely not referring to a magic potion.

"I heard that there is a big shot inside the [Bloody Thorn] who is willing to pay you five hundred magic gold coins to buy your airship blueprint, no matter what the method is," Lauder said in a low voice.

"Who?" Linn's eyes narrowed, and then he asked coldly. "How did you get this news?"

"I heard it from some well-informed [Whistles]... As for which Lord Wizard gave the order, I'm not sure." Lauder shook his head.

"So what exactly is this [Bloody Thorn]?" Lin En leaned back in his chair and pondered for a while, then suddenly asked.

What made him even more surprised was that since the other party wanted the blueprints of the airship, why didn't they discuss it with him first and make an honest purchase?

After thinking about it, Lin En had some guesses. To him, the technology of this airship was nothing, but others might not see it that way.

In a sense, this thing is a strategic weapon. It is always at the bottom of any alchemy workshop. It represents a steady stream of wealth. Normally, no one will sell it easily.

Even I had no intention of selling airships before I developed the internal combustion engine.

Facing Linn's inquiry, Lauder quickly explained that [Bloody Thorn] is an organization composed of a large number of wizard apprentices who have no hope of promotion. It is said that it has deep connections with many alchemy workshops.

There are rumors that as long as you contribute enough points, [Bloody Thorn] has a way to make anyone a 100% official wizard!

Hearing this, Lin En couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Judging from the information he has obtained from the insidious work in Iyeta Academy these days, a person's magical talent will largely determine whether he can become an official wizard.

For example, a wizard apprentice who reaches the age of thirty and has not completed his studies at Iyeta Academy will be deemed to have no magical talent, and the possibility of making a breakthrough in this life is extremely slim.

Even if you complete your studies and successfully overflow the magic power in your body, after taking the [Source of Magic Power], the success rate of promotion is not 100%. Usually only about 40% of apprentices can successfully become full-time apprentices.

wizard.

You can imagine how difficult it is to filter them down layer by layer.

This bloody thorn actually claims to have the ability to turn anyone into an official wizard. If it is not a lie, it can attract so many people to join.

However, after seeing those so-called defective products, Lin En was not naive enough to think that this was a normal method, otherwise it would have become mainstream long ago.

The Magic Council has always advocated using the [Source of Magic] for promotion, at least it has no side effects, and so many apprentices who are still alive and kicking after taking the magic potion are enough to prove this.

"Then do you know what they want my airship to do?" Lynn's fingers tapped on the armrests of the chair from time to time.

As long as such a big thing is used, it is impossible to hide it. Sooner or later he will find out. Moreover, Lin En is already preparing to apply for a patent from the Alchemy Association these days. Even if the other party gets the blueprint of the airship, it will not help.

Unless they don't intend to use it openly at all...

Judging from the fact that after the flight experiment yesterday afternoon, it didn't take long for the other party to send out the news and want to obtain the blueprints, these people must be in urgent need of an airship to do something.

"I don't know about this. Probably only people inside the [Bloody Thorn] know about it," Lauder shook his head helplessly.

"Then the last question is, why did you come here to tell me this information? Do you want to get something?" Linn stood up, stared at Lauder in front of him, and asked.

Lauder's expression changed again and again, and he forced himself to swallow countless words as they came to his lips, and finally just responded with a wry smile.

"Actually, we are just looking for a way to survive."

"I remember when we crossed the sea, didn't you bring 300 people with you?" Lin En asked very strangely. He remembered that all these sailors were strong young men at the beginning, but they were almost gone after not seeing each other for only half a month.

Become a group of refugees.

Even if you work odd jobs, you won't get to this point.

"You probably don't understand that the land of wizards is different from the outside world." Lauder sighed. "The most important thing here is people, or we poor people who don't know magic..."
