The Witcher’s Nightmare Wagon

Barry Mendel is thin and thin, and his face is about 50 years old, but Scott sitting opposite him is obviously much younger, with fair and well-maintained skin, which makes Scott look only in his forties.

He is a little short and fat, with a round monocle hanging on his face, because the hair on the top of his head is sparse due to years of research, it looks like he is even in the extraordinary world.

Baldness is a difficult problem to solve.

"Don't worry about Barry." Scott said kindly on his puffy face, "For alchemists of the same level, we are very clear about everyone's progress, and no one will be able to reach the promotion standard in a short time."

"So we don't need to worry." Putting down the documents in his hand, he stood up and poured a cup of mango tea for the friend opposite.

"I'm just a little worried. At the last exchange meeting, those guys from the Mechanical School were proud, and many young people on our side were hit. And at that time, that Savery was actually promoted directly on the spot!"

His face darkened, and Barry also recalled the previous experience. His old face was slapped, but he could only swallow his anger and choose to escape.

Afterwards, there was still a lot of fuss about Albert's affairs, and he didn't find out the specific results until the end. He had no choice but to put all the responsibility on Albert, so as to save some face for himself.

But thinking about it carefully when no one was around, although Albert was indeed hateful, Barry always felt that something was a little strange. And after that, Albert seemed to have evaporated from the world, completely disappearing from everyone's sight.

It made him very uneasy.

After adding a full 5 pieces of sugar to the teacup, Scott drank it contentedly, "Those young people are so proud, they should suffer a little bit of setbacks, and I know what you are worried about, you are afraid of Newcomen Also promoted?"

Barry nodded.

"That old guy, he has a problem with his foundation. If he tries to get promoted, he is desperate."

"But what if he succeeds?"

"Well, so what if he succeeds? I am much younger and stronger than him, and more importantly..."

"My research has made a breakthrough!" Scott clenched his fists confidently.

"You mean... about the power modification on the steamship?!" Barry's eyes lit up.

"That's right!"

"The number of superhumans who control the power machine is reduced by one, but the performance has increased by 20%! With such achievements, then even if Newcomen has successfully advanced to the sixth level, he is not qualified to compete with me!"

"Great!" Barry stood up excitedly, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's apply together!"

"Wait a minute, my drawing has been completed, but the new machine still needs final adjustment and testing, which will take some time, half a month at the fastest, and a month at the slowest."

"In addition, I don't want to be promoted in obscurity like this. This will make people question my qualifications and say that I am a sixth-level person who can only go through the back door." Scott raised his head.

"I don't allow such stains in my life, so I will show everyone my new design in a formal public place. With a brand new rune and a faster ship, let those who doubt Shut up!"

"Then, make an application in the midst of the limelight."

"Well, Scott, you are still so proud and will never change." Barry opened his mouth knowing that there was no way to dissuade his old friend.

"Because I'm a real genius." Scott laughed and made a joke.

"So how did you plan?" Barry asked.

"At the end of July or early August, there will be a steamship exchange meeting between the southern waters of the Kingdom of Elam and Konos, I decided to present my new design at this exchange meeting, and win everyone! "

"Because of the different directions of development, the Kingdom of Elland pays more attention to the carrying capacity, and the speed is slightly inferior. Knos wins every time. I can win here, which is of great significance to the Kingdom of Elland."

"It's a good plan, but the speed of the Konos is really amazing." Barry reminded.

"Don't worry, I just said that the speed can be increased by 20% by reducing one person. If it is increased to the normal three people, even considering the upper limit of mechanical transformation, the speed can continue to increase."

"Compared to previous years' data, this time I will definitely win!"

"When I become a permanent member, those rubbish from the Mechanic School... Heh, their existence is a disgrace to those who created the Contractor!"

As if thinking of a certain scene, Barry also looked excited.

52 Price Blvd.

"Teacher, an invitation from the association invites you to participate in the steamship exchange meeting between the Kingdom of Elam and Konos."

In the room, Savery handed Newcomen an invitation letter.

"Let's put it aside, we can't go anywhere until we solve the work in hand."

"It's strange. When I received the invitation letter from the Royal Academy of Engineering just now, I noticed that Scott actually submitted an application and asked to participate in this exchange."

"Scott?" Newcomen put down the pen in his hand and looked up.

"Hasn't he applied for a permanent seat yet? What the hell is this guy thinking, and would he go out to attend some kind of exchange meeting at this critical moment?" Newcomen felt a little strange.

"As far as I know, Scott is not the kind of sloppy person. He is very purposeful. He must have some special purpose for participating in the exchange meeting at this critical moment." Savery thought for a while.

"By the way, could he have designed a new rune, or made a breakthrough improvement on the technology of the steamship, so he wants to shine in this exchange meeting..."

"After the reunion, apply according to the trend!" The two said in unison, "It must be like this."

"Then this exchange meeting..."

"Let me think about it again. Time is running out. We have to hurry up with the research at hand. Sigmund's design drawings provide a clear direction. The idea of ​​new runes has made great progress, but Scott's side is also You need to pay attention." Newcomen hesitated.

"Is it possible for us to complete the design in hand before Scott participates in the exchange meeting, and then apply for it first?" Savery proposed another idea.

"It's hard, the time is too tight, unless there are other people to help." Just as they were talking, their eyes intertwined, and a name popped up in their hearts at the same time.

"It seems that we can only ask Sigmund for help."

"But where is Scott?" Savery was still a little worried.

"Let's wait and see." Newcomen didn't have a good solution either.

Just when the two were struggling, the butler's voice came from outside the door, and the two smiled at each other. After a short wait, Sigmund walked into the room under the guidance of the butler.

"Teacher, I have something to discuss with you."

"There happens to be something that I want to discuss with you too."

"You talk first." After taking a sip of coffee, Newcomen looked kindly.

But not long after, an angry roar came from the room, "Drexel! He has clearly promised me!" In Newcomen's understanding, all of this was Dressel's conspiracy, and it must be West Ge Meng was bewitched by him.

Seeing the furious Newcomen, Sigmund swallowed what Duke Dressel told him before leaving.

"I promised you Sigmund, what's the matter with Henrik?"

With that look and tone, Sigmund was sure that Duke Dressel must have been a veteran hooligan when he was young.
