The Witcher’s Nightmare Wagon

The ring on Scott's right hand released an orange-red light, which soared into the sky. Not long after, the light on the distant ship flickered, and it seemed to respond in some way.

"What's going on?" Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but Scott stopped talking, walked aside with his arms around his shoulders, and stared at the sea with a gloomy expression. Seeing his expression, no one dared to approach him easily, only Barry walked quietly. to his side.

"Are you going to let the three mechanics on board increase the input of spiritual power and increase the pressure of the steam engine?"

Scott nodded grimly.

"But you haven't fully perfected that function, will you use it at this time..." Barry organized his words carefully.

"I must win. This is not only about my reputation, but also an invisible contest between the School of Mechanics and the School of Psychics. Have you seen Newcomen's expression?" Scott clenched his fists tightly, and Scott's eyes were gloomy .

"Just wait, I'll make him pay the price." He glanced at Barry, "Don't worry, I checked repeatedly, and there is nothing wrong with the added part of the spiritual cycle. Don't worry, the victory will belong to us."

"Look, everyone!" A voice shouted from above.

"Accelerating, the second ship is accelerating, so fast!"

"What happened?" Everyone straightened their necks and widened their eyes.

Black smoke billowed, and Scott's ship accelerated violently. As time went by, it got closer and closer to Newcomen's ship. According to this trend, it would not take long to catch up and surpass it.

At this time, the two ships have traveled 2/3 of the distance, and the last part of the remaining will be the key to the outcome.

"What is this function?" Someone asked in a low voice.

"Even if it can't be used frequently, it can definitely be the key to victory or defeat when used for chasing or escaping in battle."

"At the previous exchange meeting, Master Scott seemed to deliberately conceal this function. I really didn't expect that his research on the improvement of the spiritual path cycle is so much more advanced than ours."

Finally, after a period of chasing, Scott caught up with Newcomen, and at this time the two sides were not too far away from the finish line. Standing with them, they could even clearly see the entire outline of the hull.

At the same time, Sigmund was steering the helm leisurely.

"You don't really intend to let Scott win the game, do you?" Savery walked over with a smile.

"It's a win no matter what. I wanted them to lose a little more decently." Sigmund replied, winning is a certainty, and in this case there is no need to expose all of his cards.

So from the start until now, the whole ship has been controlling the power output, but even so, it has left a lot of other ships behind, but what Sigmund didn't expect was that Scott actually kept a hand.

According to Savery's explanation, Scott should have designed some kind of spiritual cycle to increase the power output for a short time, so that the overload operation must not last for too long.

"I'm curious, why didn't you release the full power of the whole ship when Scott was accelerating?" Savery asked.

"That's not okay." Sigmund shook his head.

"An overly powerful opponent will make the enemy despair, give him hope, and then kill this hope with his own hands, this is what a kind person should do."

"You call this kindness?" Savery was speechless.

"Didn't you read the information at the exchange meeting? You also said that his method of temporarily increasing his speed will not last long. In this case, I naturally want to give him hope, because only in this way can he continue to maintain a high speed." The dynamic state of the load."

"The longer the time drags on, the greater the probability that their steam engine will fail. Now that we are not far from the finish line, we have to start speeding up." Sigmund replied.

"I hope that Master Scott's luck will not be too bad, you say, if his boat stops halfway due to a power failure, tsk tsk, then he, the pre-match champion, can only watch everyone helplessly overtake yourself."

"Haha, just thinking about that picture makes me happy."

"You bastard." Savery shook his head, but also smiled, and returned to the steam engine compartment after speaking.

It didn't take long, just when Scott surpassed Newcomen's boat by one position, just when everyone thought Scott was about to stage a shocking reversal and regain the championship.

As the smoke rose, the speed of Newcomen's ship increased again, and it easily overtook Scott, leaving him far behind.

Seeing this scene, the cheers prepared by the crowd stuck in their throats, and Scott's expression was almost frozen. All his emotions were accumulated in his chest, and the accumulation and compression continued, and even the chaos value began to rise.

"Scott!" Barry snorted coldly, reminding his friend.

"Just a little bit, we're going to win soon."

There was silence around, and everyone didn't want to offend Scott, and they didn't know what to say at this time, and then they watched Newcomen's boat come to the finish line first with an absolute lead.

"There is a problem, how could their boat be so fast?" Barry whispered, "It's okay, we kept the second place, and when the race is over, we have to check Newcomen's boat, I suspect he moved something hands and feet."

"You're right, wait for our boat..."

But before Scott finished speaking, there was a sudden bang on the sea not far away, followed by a violent explosion, the ship shook, thick smoke billowed, and after sliding forward for a certain distance relying on inertia, Slowly stopped.

At this time, Scott's boat was less than 100 meters away from the finish line.

To be fair, all boats had their sails removed before the race.

So the last 100 meters became the end point that Scott could never reach.

"What happened?!" Although he guessed the reason, Barry still didn't want to believe it, and looked at Scott nervously.

Veins popped up on his forehead, and Scott's breathing was messy. He clearly knew that because of the long-term overload, the spiritual path cycle collapsed, and his steam engine was scrapped.

For a moment, the entire exchange meeting was silent, and everyone silently watched the hulk 100 meters away from the finish line, with extremely complicated expressions on their faces.

At this time, a ship flying the Knoss flag broke into everyone's sight, approached, overtook, and then passed by Scott's ship and sailed to the finish line.

"We are number two!" the person in charge of Konos shouted loudly, but his shout did not arouse any reaction from everyone.

Scott stood on the edge of the deck, holding the railing tightly with his hands, and he watched Akad's boat pass the finish line as the third place.

Then the 4th boat, the 5th boat.

Until all the ships reached the destination, only a lone hulk remained not far from the destination.

He is last.

Such a result was something Scott could not accept anyway.

"competition is over!"

"The Royal Academy of Engineering from the Kingdom of Elam won the victory!" Someone announced the result. With this period of buffer, everyone can only accept this reality.

Soon everyone gathered around Newcomen, praising and talking, just like Scott just now.

Barry glanced over Newcomen's boat, and seemed to notice something pulling Scott quietly.

Scott's eyes lit up, and he walked quickly towards Newcomen.

He didn't believe that Newcomen's designs were better than his own, and the answer was simple.

Someone tampered with the game.
