The Dark King - Chapter 279

Chapter 279

Nicholas's mouth curcled up slightly as he heard Gwyneth's words . He whispered: "We must first try to know whether he was bought by the kid . If Sergei has swayed then the little devil will use him to pass wrong information to us . However we can also use him to pass wrong messages to the little devil . "

Gwyneth nodded .

"I will go out to avoid suspicions . " Nicholas opened the door and went out .

Gwyneth's eyes lit up as she looked at his back .

. . .

. . .

Temple of Elements . Thirteenth astle .

Two figures were sitting by the table and drinking tea . There were few newspapers on the table . One of them had a large portrait depicted on it . It was Dudian's picture . He had a smile on his face .

"The little kid hasn't produced the invention but he dares to price it as a five-star item . He is crazy . . . " Master Eivissa glanced at the newspaper and slowly raised his eyes to look at master Terence's face who was sitting opposite to him: "I didn't expect that the little guy who wanted to be my assistant had come to this position . The new textile machine and military crossbow is a proof that his inventions are not result of luck . He is a rare talent but he is too arrogant . "

Terence said: "Genius? Haven't we seen people like him? He is young and fit . That's why he is proud of the moment but ultimately he will fell down . It will be worser than anyone else! He won't be able to afford to climb for long . The more glory he has now, the harder the stabs would be!"

Eivissa's eyes lit up: "But he has a talent too . If the new invention isn't five star item then it would be at least a three-star even a four-star item . Or else he wouldn't boast the way he did . I don't think current small achievements will cover his eyes . "

"Hmph!" Master Terence faintly snorted as there was a trace of disdain on his face .

Eivissa seemed not to be observing Terence's facial expression: "If it is like this then I have to congratulate you . Your wood element faction is going to have another master in the future . Maybe his record will be better than yours . He may become the youngest master in the wood element faction . It's a pity that your hydraulic weaving machine wasn't produced earlier on . In that case it wouldn't be evaluated as a four-star item but a five-star one . "

Terence's eyebrows wrinkled: "The youngest master? How can he be same as you or me? Sometimes the blessings of god isn't transmitted . The inspiration is not there . He had to move slowly, step by step, like you and me . But he is different . Because of his age and 'honor' once he falls, he would be ruined!"

Eivissa sighed: "Yes . I hope he can learn to face the failure . "

Terence lightly sneered but didn't continue to chat .

Eivissa finished drinking the cup of tea: "It's getting late . I should go back as there is no one to supervise . Those little kids will be lazy if I'm not over there . "

"Alright, I'll send you off . " Terence got up and walked him to the exit of the castle .

Terence slowly recovered his eyes as he looked at the carriage which Eivissa got on: "Old fox, don't you think that I don't know Krylov consortium is backing you up! Are you trying to use me to attack the little kid? Hmpf!"

. . .

. . .

Three days passed in the blink of an eye .

Dudian didn't leave the castle . He was training in the morning . After the lunch no one would be able to see his silhouette . He would rush back to the basement after the meals .

Sergei was the one who felt Dudian's overwork the deepest . He knew that the morning training alone would overextent the physical condition of the teenager's consitution . According to Sergei, Dudian should be exhausted and tired after the morning exercise . Even though the production and research of the inventions didn't consume any physical energy but exhausted the brain . He knew that tired state of the brain was more painful that the soreness of the body .

Scar and Jin would relearn the skills they had studied back in their time . They wanted to ensure that they would be in good condition for hunt outside the giant wall .

In the basement .

Dudian looked at the machine that he assembled . His eyes lit up as he looked at the hand-cranked DC generator . It was very simple in comparison to a modern generator . However he still spent three days to produce it from scratch . As of now he had mastered the electricity!

"It should be assessed as a legendary item if I submit it to the Temple . " There was excitement on Dudian's face . Legendary items were priceless . They could be sold for millions of gold coins and cause chaos within the giant wall . Only top consortia would have the ability to buy such an item . Moreover, there was a rule that if an architect produced a legendary item the Temple would automatically get the rights for manufacturing and sales . The architect's benefits and rewards would be a lot but it was a mandatory rule which binded them .

Although the Temple would get a share of the cake but the legendary items were able to dominate the field . The revenue would be so high that the architect wouldn't care if a piece was taken by the Temple .

However, Dudian restrained his impulse . Currently, he had just entered the research state in the lightning element faction . Firstly he was going to introduce lightning rods as a guide item . If he directly handed over this DC generator then it would have an extraordinary reaction even from the senior representatives of the Holy Church which he tried to avoid at this point .

Moreover, because of his current vision and understanding of the world he didn't know and couldn't estimate the chain reaction and effect the introduction of power generation would bring . He temperorily was going to use it on his own and release the invention at the right time .

"Science and techonology are advancing very slowly . There is no product that has the techonology which the concept of the new textile machine had brought up . It seems I'll have to push things up again . " Dudian looked at the generator as he dazed into his thoughts . Moments later he put the DC generator aside and took out another drawing . He was going to build a cannon!

"This hand-cranked DC generator should be able to output one hundred watts of electricity . It won't be able to move the smallest type of the electroslag remelting furnace . Moreover, Mellon consortium hasn't made a move yet . Certainly they are secretly doing something . I must enhance my strength first . " Dudian gave up the idea of creating modern artillery, power station and others . The more Mellon consortium was quiter the more his heart became uneasy . The only guarantee of his protection was the enhancement of his strength .

Eight days passed in the blink of an eye .

Dudian came out from the basement for dinner . He looked at Nicholas: "Prepare suitcases and make sure that they are by the door of the basement . "

"Suitcases?" Nicholas asked: "Is the new item finished?"

Dudian nodded slightly . After eight days he finally produced the things he wanted .

Sergei and others looked at each other in surpise and full of curiosity . They wanted to see how the item looked like as there were consortia who were ready to pay unimaginable amount of money for it .

Dudian went to the basement after the dinner . He put the assembly parts on the floor . The huge base and barrel could be only carried with a cloth .

Nicholas and the others were surprised to see a huge metal tube on the ground . This thing looks like a chimney! Does he dares to call it a divine item?

After packing all the parts Dudian looked at Scar and Jin: "Sleep early tonight . Tomorrow we will go outside the giant wall . "

Nicholas was surprised: "Aren't you going to give the new item to the Temple to assess it?"

Dudian answered: "Have you ever seen such a rough item? It is a weapon that specialized in hunting monsters . It's just you don't know how to use it . "

"Ah . . . " Nicholas was speechless .

Sergei was stunned: "This . . . Are we going to hit the beasts with the tube?"

Gwyneth was silent as she looked at Dudian's every move .

Dudian almost choked as he heard Sergei's words . However it was the era of cold weapons so it was normal for Sergei to have such a perspective: "You will know when we use it . It's alright not to know about details right now . "

Sergei's face was gloomy: "Do we also need to learn how to use it?"

Dudian recovered his eyes and didn't reply .

Dudian went back to his room after sending them off . He did the carving exercise and went to sleep .

The next day .

Dudian put on his hunter armor and went down to find Nicholas: "Prepare dry food for five people so that we can eat outside the giant wall . "
