I Made Scientific Magic
Chapter 85 Scarlet Thorns
"That's it, Your Excellency Lynn!"
Lauder led Lynn to a stop in front of a slightly dilapidated mansion in the southern city.
The house seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. The outer walls were covered with ivy, and the yard was overgrown with weeds. There were only a few dead trees standing there alone, making rustling noises when the wind blew past.
After walking in, it was very lively inside. One hundred and ten people were crowded in the small front hall. Lynn recognized at a glance that these people were the sailors who crossed the sea with Lauder back then.
But I haven't seen them for more than half a month, and they look even more embarrassed than when they were drifting at sea for half a month before.
Many people's clothes are messy, their faces are sallow, and some traces of bandaging can still be seen on their bodies. There are even several seriously injured sailors lying unconscious on stretchers.
"It's Lord Lynn!"
After the sailors saw Lynn, they immediately surrounded him excitedly, but they were quickly stopped by Lauder.
"You all stop for a while, I still have something to discuss with Your Excellency Lynn!" Lauderaud persuaded everyone to leave before turning his head and looking at Lynn:
"plz follow me!"
Lynn glanced around at the crowd and followed Lauder straight to the inner room without saying anything.
This is a living room, the appearance is dilapidated, but the interior is cleaned very clean, the tables, chairs and benches are all wiped spotless.
"Is there any news you can tell now." Lynn sat down on one of the chairs and asked directly.
"Just at noon today, one of my sailors accidentally found a strange apprentice wizard near the residence of [Black Doctor] Ladakh. I think it is very likely that he attacked the man named Ralph halflings of..."
Lauder spoke in as much detail as possible. This apprentice wizard was dressed in a black robe. He was about thirty-four to five years old, about 1.7 meters tall, and his walking posture was a little staggering. There are still some traces of acid corrosion on the hem.
Was it because the distance was too close, so when using [Corrosion] to kill Ralph, he also injured himself?
Lin En was thoughtful, and it was understandable for an apprentice to make such a mistake.
"In addition, he is very likely to be a member of [Scarlet Thorn]." Lauder said hesitantly.
"Blood-colored thorns?" Lin En paused. If he remembered correctly, this is a very strange potion that needs to be watered with a lot of blood to bloom the brightest flowers.
But the other party was definitely not referring to a magic potion.
"I heard that in [Blood Thorn], there is a big man who is willing to pay 500 magic gold coins to buy your airship blueprint, no matter what method you use." Lauder said in a low voice.
"Who?" Lynn's gaze shifted, and then he asked coldly. "And how did you get the news?"
"I found out about it from some well-informed [whistles]... As for which master wizard gave the order, I'm not too sure." Lauder shook his head.
"Then what exactly is this [Blood 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 blueprint of the airship, why didn't he consult with him first and buy it openly.
After thinking about it, Lynn 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 killer. It is a bottom-of-the-box thing in any alchemy studio, representing a steady stream of wealth. Normally, no one would easily sell it.
Even himself, before he came up with the internal combustion engine, he didn't plan to do things like selling airships.
Facing Lin En's inquiry, Lauder hurriedly explained, no one knows who the leader of [Blood Thorn] is, only that it is an organization composed of a large number of wizard apprentices who have no hope of promotion, and the internal forces are intricate. It even attracted a lot of official wizards to join, and I heard that it has a deep connection with many alchemy workshops.
There are rumors that as long as there are enough contribution points, [Blood Thorn] has a way to make anyone 100% an official wizard!
Hearing this, Lynn couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Judging from the information he obtained from the Iyeta Academy these days, a person's magical talent will largely determine whether he can become an official wizard.
For example, wizard apprentices who have reached the age of 30 at Iyeta Academy and have not completed their studies will be deemed to have no magical talent, and the possibility of making a breakthrough in this life is very slim.
Even if you have completed your studies and successfully overflowed 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 the apprentices can successfully become a formal apprentice wizard.
One can imagine the difficulty of screening layer by layer.
This bloody thorn actually claims to have the ability to make anyone 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, Lynn would not naively think that this is a normal method, otherwise it might have become the mainstream long ago.
The Magic Council has always advocated using [The Source of Magic Power] to promote, at least there are no side effects, and so many apprentices who are still alive and kicking after taking the potion are enough to prove this.
"Then do you know what they want my airship to do?" Lynn tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair from time to time.
As long as such a big thing is used, it is impossible to hide it, and he will know about it sooner or later, and these days Lin En is already preparing to apply for a patent from the Alchemy Association, even if the other party gets the blueprint of the airship, it will not help.
Unless they don't even think about using it on the bright side...
After the flight experiment yesterday afternoon, it didn't take long for the other party to spread the news that they wanted to obtain the blueprint. Judging from the fact that these people should urgently need an airship to do something.
"I'm not sure about this, probably only people inside [Bloody Thorn] know about it," Lauder shook his head helplessly.
"Then the last question, why did you come here to tell me this information? Do you want to get something?" Lynn stood up, stared at Lauder in front of him, and asked.
Lauder's face changed again and again, countless words came to his mouth and he swallowed forcefully, and finally he just responded with a wry smile.
"In fact, we just want to find a way to survive."
"I remember when you crossed the sea, didn't you bring three hundred people with you?" Lin En asked very strangely. He remembered that these sailors were all strong young men at the beginning, but it turned out that they hadn't seen each other for half a month. became a group of refugees.
Even if you do odd jobs, you won't be able to get mixed up like this.
"You probably don't understand that the Land of Wizards is different from the outside world." Lauder said with a sigh. "The most indispensable thing here is people, or our poor people who don't know magic..."
