The Lord of Ashes

The old man's name is Piton, and he is a stubborn old man who is not easy to get along with.

Thain joined this heavy industry laboratory to learn.

However, the purpose of absorbing Thain into the Heavy Industry Laboratory and Old Man Piton was definitely not to teach him knowledge in vain, but to squeeze Thain's alchemy ability.

In particular, Thain did not sign a long-term contract with the Heavy Industry Laboratory and was typically a "temporary worker."

Under this premise, how could it be possible to leave Thain too much time to study.

Every year, a large number of magicians from the wizarding world visit the City in the Sky. However, the preciousness of arcane points and the mandatory consumption of one point every day make it difficult for low-level magicians to stay here for a long time.

Also, if every magician could stay in the Sky City for a long time without restraint, even if this floating city is extremely huge, it would have been crowded long ago.

‎​​‎​‏‎‏​‎‏​‏‏‏There are quite a few spellcasters in the wizarding world!

Every year, countless alchemists, pharmacists, array masters and other magicians with special talents are recruited by the major laboratories in Sky City.

The vast majority of them are "temporary workers" like Thain.

Only those who are true geniuses are also magicians who are willing to study and grow in the Sky City.

Only then will they be signed into long-term contracts by major laboratories and focus on training.

At this time, Piton, who was leading Thain in the heavy industry laboratory, was a real genius, and Thain had to admit it.

The bald old man's magic and combat attainments may not be very good, but in the field of alchemy, his achievements have definitely surpassed Thain's.

The bald old man Piton only serves as an assistant in the heavy industry laboratory.

There are also main alchemists, deputy alchemists, etc. above him, as well as designers, maintenance engineers, inspectors and even appearance stylists.

The heavy industry laboratory that Thain joined is, after all, a large laboratory that mainly exports and builds a new generation of space fortresses.

A war platform like the Space Fortress cannot be built by a single magician with his own strength.

What it needs more is the wisdom of the cluster!

Staying under Piton, although he was often ordered to do this and that by this bald old man, Thain really learned a lot over a period of time.

This is a mutually beneficial and fair employment model.

Thain gained knowledge during his short-term study in the Heavy Industry Laboratory, and the Heavy Industry Laboratory and Old Man Piton were equivalent to having a free third-level alchemist assistant. Not to mention a third-level alchemist like Thain, according to old man Piton's boast to him one time, he had even commanded several demigod-level alchemists.

"Then have you ever commanded a fourth-level alchemist?" Thain asked casually in his spare time with some teasing.

Old Man Piton's nose turned red from suppressing the pain. He waved the alchemy wrench in his hand and lectured Dazain: "Have you finished checking the energy circuit I asked you to check just now? After checking, go and measure the magic conductivity of No. 2 muzzle for me. !”

Old Man Piton has a bad temper, but overall he treats people fairly sincerely.

In some areas of alchemical mysteries, the old man did not hide them. As long as Thain asked, he would mostly answer.

Of course, the premise is that Thain has completed the experimental tasks required by Old Man Piton.

Thane himself is not a person who particularly values ​​​​levels and likes to use his power to overwhelm others.

‎​​‎​‏‎‏​‎‏​‏‏‏The experience of being a black magic apprentice has taught Thane to fear the strong.

In the field of alchemy, Old Man Piton is a strong man in Thain's eyes.

Although Old Man Piton is mainly responsible for the research and development of large-scale elemental energy weapons, the functional areas specifically divided by the old man are not the main or secondary guns of the space fortress, but the main guns of the war airship.

The war airship of the wizard civilization is said to be able to rival third-level creatures.

This is still an ordinary type of war airship.

If it were that special type of war airship, it would be more powerful and have more functions.

Of course, the war airship, like the space fortress, is just a creation of magic energy and a tool.

It cannot be measured as a real third-level or fourth-level creature.

However, from an unbiased perspective, coupled with the actual data fed back from previous plane wars, the role of the war airship on the battlefield is indeed no less than that of a third-level great magician.

Although Thain is an alchemist, he does not intend to build a space fortress by himself.

That's nonsense!

A space fortress cannot be completed by one person, and even if Thane leads the development and design of a space fortress, will he still have the energy to study other truths and mysteries?

Old Man Piton has a level in the field of alchemy that impressed Thain, but his level is stuck at level two. There is little hope of being promoted to level three in the future because he spends too much time in the field of alchemy. Research.

The same goes for Thane's previous mentor, Moshedo.

At best, Thane will only participate in the design of part of the future space fortress. Most of the others will definitely have to be outsourced to the heavy industry laboratories of Sky City or Steel City.

Or just make do with it when the time comes. Like Lu Lianman, it wouldn't be a bad idea to buy the latest model of the standard space fortress from the wizard civilization.

In addition to learning and mastering a lot of advanced knowledge about energy weapons under Piton, Thane's biggest gain was to use the power of old man Piton to upgrade Yuli's golem.

"Ten thousand magic coins?"

"You seem to have just been promoted to level three, right? You are really willing to give up on this slave creature!"

In the pungent-smelling heavy metal warehouse, Piton, wearing a protective suit full of pitch black stains, looked at Thain with squinting eyes.

Everyone has a price. If you can't impress him, it only means that you don't pay enough.

Ten thousand magic coins was the price for Thain to ask Piton to upgrade Yuli's golem.

‎​​‎​‏‎‏​‎‏​‏‏‏Under normal circumstances, a second-level magician can only gain one or two thousand magic coins after surviving a plane war.

Judging from the fact that Thain has just been promoted to level three, these 10,000 magic coins are already Thain's entire net worth in Piton's mind.

[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, and a source-changing app used by old bookworms,]

Ten thousand magic coins, this money is enough to go to the Wizards Alliance and find a weak third-level slave creature.

"Yuri has been my partner for many years. She comes from the Neisse civilization. In addition to improving her mental strength through practice, her external mecha is also a great blessing."

"Although I have helped Yuri improve her mecha many times, I am not an expert in this field after all, so I still want to ask you to take action this time." Thain said with a smile, and gave Old Piton a very comfortable hand , lit up a purple thorn cigar produced in the world of thunder and fire.

The flames bursting out from Thain's fingers and the pungent aftertaste of the Purple Thorn cigar made Old Piton narrow his eyes in comfort.

Being able to be served like this by a third-level great magician greatly satisfied the old man's vanity.

He flicked the butt of his cigar, and said with a mixture of contempt and pride: "I'm not talking about you. With your level of alchemy, you can make common magic props such as magic wands and magic robes, but if it involves machines... Armor and large-scale war equipment, it seems very amateurish!"

"To put it aside, the weapon system of your little slave girl constructing a golem is very problematic in my eyes!"

"Give me the money, I'll take this job." Old Man Piton blew out a smoke ring with the same hairstyle as his and said to Thain.
