"Grand Master of Mechanics?"
Hearing Ren's words, everyone had shocked expressions on their faces, but more of them felt ridiculous.
The mechanics, in particular, had ugly expressions of humiliation on their faces.
I said it’s a grandmaster, so you want to be a grandmaster
Haha... how is that possible!
There are three mechanical masters in the world, and they are all still in their Omar Royal Academy. Now an old man pops up randomly in the countryside who seems to only know how to repair simple machinery. You say he is a mechanical master. How is that possible
Self-proclaimed
Ymir looked at Ren with a slightly strange expression on his face.
Having been in the imperial capital all year round, she naturally knew that there were only three great mechanical masters in the world, but there was absolutely no such thing as the old man named "Tuste Fuentes" in front of her.
Moreover, mechanics is a field that pays great attention to system inheritance.
It can be said that except for the "Royal Academy of Sciences of Omar", it is impossible for any force to cultivate high-level mechanical talents.
A mechanical apprentice's promotion to a mechanical master requires more than just talent and money. We also need to systematically learn a huge amount of basic mechanical knowledge, and we need the most advanced scientific research environment...
And all of these, looking at all the forces in the two empires, can only be provided by the Omar Royal Academy of Sciences.
Therefore, apart from taking the academy path, it is impossible to cultivate a "machinery master" through other means!
What's more, the Machinists Association has not even certified it, so how can we talk about this great master
But Ymir knew Ren's character very well and would never do anything rash.
Since he would say that, he must have his reason.
It was because of this that she was confused and could only ask: "Um... Mr. Lane, do you want to ask Mr. Tust to participate in the design of the Machinery City?"
Ren nodded, looked at Ymir and said solemnly: "I can guarantee that Grandpa Tust's mechanical skills will never let anyone down."
He didn't say too much. After all, they were all talents in the future territory, and he had to take care of the feelings of the mechanics in front of him.
To be more direct, Mr. Tust is the most powerful mechanic in the world, bar none!
Ren introduced him as the "Grand Master of Mechanics", which was all modesty.
... ...
Senior mechanics are all proud.
After thirty years of physical and mental torture and little communication with others, the old man's temper was naturally a little different from ordinary people.
Especially for a "mechanical legend" like Tust, who could look down upon the entire mechanical field based on his ability, he felt very uncomfortable being looked at with such questioning eyes.
At this time, before anyone else could question him, he said directly: "Boy Ren, I know you are saying this to put money on my face. But don't introduce those false names. The old man has not fallen to the point where he needs a name. It’s time to prove yourself.”
After a pause, he did not conceal his disdain for his enemy and said: "Besides, a guy like Brendan has become a 'grand master', and the old man doesn't even bother to be named the same as him!"
When Ren heard it, he didn't think it was anything.
No matter what, the name is all empty anyway.
Which mechanic is superior or inferior will eventually have to show his ability and speak out.
... ... .
But others didn't know Mr. Tust's past, and as soon as his "arrogant" words came out, the situation immediately exploded.
Brendan de Molay, president of the Royal Academy of Omagh, is one of the three great masters in the world.
After hearing this, Grandmaster Pierre's face became very ugly, and he couldn't bear it no matter how well-behaved he was.
Although he is not from the inherited Brendan lineage, he can be regarded as his elder.
The young mechanics behind him couldn't hold it back and shouted angrily: "You... how dare you insult, Dean Molay!"
No matter who it was, listening to a stranger arrogantly insulting the dean of the academy, the "legend" in the minds of their mechanics, would definitely be furious.
This feeling is like a group of students from famous universities in international metropolis going to a remote mountainous area to conduct research. Then a local old man appeared and said that the dean of your college was just trying to gain fame and reputation, so I have real abilities.
Anyone else would have thought that the old man must be crazy!
Each of the mechanics seemed to have been greatly humiliated, their faces flushed, and they were no longer polite.
They risked their lives to come here to build their territory, all for the sake of the Omar royal family and the eldest princess.
Otherwise, even if they are all small nobles from a humble family, with this ability, they can do well anywhere!
Now, not to mention that some barbarians who were still in the period of slash-and-burn farming took over the Machinery City, but here comes another crazy old man who casually disdains their dean!
The young mechanical apprentices could no longer bear it.
A senior mechanic looked at Pierre and angrily suggested: "Teacher, I think there is no need to discuss it. They obviously want to humiliate us by saying this. Since they are not willing to let us design the mechanical city, then let them Do it yourself! Haha, I want to see what tricks the so-called mechanical master can come up with!"
Another young mechanic also said: "Humph! This kind of flying mechanical city is a mechanical technology that has never been seen in the world. Even the teacher said that many of the designs are beyond your understanding... If they want to mess with it, let them Go ahead and mess with it. It will definitely rot in your hands in the end!"
"..."
Pierre also frowned and remained silent.
He was a mechanical master, so he didn't understand that if this mechanical city were torn into two parts, many of its designs would be even more incomprehensible.
But he has been in the imperial capital all year round and is used to all kinds of intrigues in the officialdom and intrigues for interests.
Now it seems that the eldest princess's ally is planning to "fight for power".
... ... .
Ymir didn't expect things to get to this point.
Originally, she thought, this shouldn't be a problem at all.
In the field of mechanics, those who are good come first, and whoever is good will get...
Almost all the mechanics in the entire camp are students of Grandmaster Pierre. Who else is more qualified than him
But now, Ren actually found an old man... who seemed to also want to earn the design rights of this mechanical city.
One side is an ally, the other side is a subordinate.
This is very embarrassing.
Ren saw that everyone must have misunderstood something, so he tried to figure it out and explained: "Your Highness Ymir, Grandpa Tust's words did not mean any offense. He has some relationship with Dean Morai of the Royal Academy. Personal grudge, so..."
Whether from the perspective of an elder or as an ally in the camp, Renn felt that it was his duty to clear away the grievances of Mr. Tust.
When Ymir heard this, he realized that the old man in front of him actually knew Dean Molay, but he felt incredible: "Huh?"
Tust originally thought that he would go into the coffin with the hatred of ruined reputation and ruined family. Now that his body has recovered, the resentment is naturally getting stronger and stronger.
He didn't want to let Ren do it for him.
What's more, he got angry when he saw these young mechanics defending that enemy, and said directly: "Thirty years ago, I don't know if any of you have heard of the 'plagiarism scandal' that caused so much controversy at the Royal Academy of Sciences in Omar. ?”
After a pause, the old man continued: "A young teaching assistant in the college reported that Brendan de Molay, who was the dean at the time, had plagiarized hundreds of his patented technologies... In the end, the teaching assistant was falsely accused, and his family was ruined... "
Ymir was not yet born when it happened, so she had no impression of this "scandal" at all.
But upon hearing it, I also vaguely guessed that there must be a hidden story behind the matter.
Naturally, those young mechanics had never heard of the "scandal" thirty years ago.
But now, everyone can tell that the old man in front of them is probably the "teaching assistant" in the story.
But if there is something else hidden in the matter, wouldn't it mean that the sacred Dean Molay in their minds was someone who relied on insidious means of plagiarizing technology and suppressing his peers to get to the top? !
This is simply impossible!
The bright and majestic Dean Molay is not that despicable person!
Hearing this, the young mechanics were completely angered.
You are an arrogant old man sitting in a well watching the sky, but now you are insulting our dean
They all blushed, and in order to protect the reputation of the dean, they broke out in an instant!
"Impossible! You must not insult Dean Molay's innocence!"
"Hmph! I won't tell you where you heard your story. How can a small teaching assistant be qualified to let Dean Molay steal his technology? Isn't it ridiculous!"
"A story full of loopholes, so shameless!"
"..."
Indeed, this story sounds absurd.
Stealing hundreds of technologies to apply for patents sounds unreasonable.
Because a very important link is missing, that is, the woman Tust loved.
On the other hand, Grandmaster Pierre remembered something, looked at Tust, a little uncertain, and thought in his mind: "I remember that such an incident did happen at that time. I was still studying in the lower class of the college at that time. ..”
But the official has made a judgment on the matter. How come there is another version
He was not in a hurry to express his position. After all, one side was the eldest princess's ally, and the other side was Dean Molay.
... ... .
At this point, the tempers of those young mechanics were also ignited, and they couldn't speak more politely.
"Haha, you also said that you are a mechanic, and you also said that Dean Molay plagiarized your technology. Do you understand this kind of high-end mechanical city?"
"Teacher, we don't have to talk nonsense with people like this!"
"If he were really a mechanic, we would be ashamed to be in his company!"
"..."
Ren listened and wanted to explain a few words to the old man, but he thought that this matter must not be explained clearly by talking.
Tust on the side had an expressionless face, as if he had expected it.
Back then, he was unable to defend himself under the guidance of those people.
He is an unknown person, and when faced with the son of a powerful dean, no one will believe any of his words.
Just like these young people in front of him, those people once regarded him as a clown who wanted to step on the fame of the world-famous Dean Molay and gain favor.
At this time, a mechanical apprentice became unceremonious and said: "Hmph, I watched him secretly dismantle some of the 'steam balls' on the Mechanical City before. Your Royal Highness, we can temporarily stop working on that half of the Mechanical City." , but that thing is the key to the operation of the Mechanical City. If it is damaged, the Mechanical City may be ruined... "
"Yes, that is the super-order core component that the teacher said is temporarily incomprehensible..."
"..."
At this statement, all the mechanics were filled with indignation.
After insulting the dean first, and now desecrating steam technology, the young mechanics suddenly felt that the "self-proclaimed grand master" old man was disgusting.
Even Ren, they felt that they were not worthy of being called the ally of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"Everyone, stop talking."
At this time, Grandmaster Pierre stood up and stopped the discussion of his disciples.
Although he felt that things were a bit absurd, he cared more about technology and spoke more politely: "Old gentleman, if you are a mechanic, you must also know that the 'steam ball' is a very important power component of this mechanical airship. I think When you disassemble it, you must want to study its function... But I also implore you not to dismantle it at will and destroy its original mechanism. After all, it is a super-level technology that cannot be restored by the current mechanical level... "
Private matters are private matters and public matters are official matters and cannot be confused.
Besides, for mechanics, nothing is more important than protecting technology.
After a pause, Pierre persuaded again: "Everyone wants to build the territory well..."
In his opinion, although the construction of the other half of the Mechanical City may be stalled for the time being, in the end, the heavy responsibility will still fall on them. It is more important than anything else for the equipment in the mechanical city to be well preserved.
"..."
Tust listened and remained silent without saying anything. He sighed and shook his head slightly. He also understood that any words spoken in his mouth at this moment would become pale and weak.
Just at this moment, before the man finished speaking, an alarm suddenly sounded throughout the base.
"Tidal wave of Class B corpses, combatants go to the city wall to fight!"
"B-level zombie tide, there are high-level zombies, prepare artillery!"
"No! There is a giant living corpse of an earth dragon. A high-level transcendent is preparing to leave the city and behead him. Don't let it get close to destroying the city wall!"
"A-level zombie wave! It's A-level! Everyone is ready to fight!"
"..."
Everyone's expressions changed as they listened to the broadcast, but they soon became accustomed to it.
Recently, monsters have been attacking the city almost every night, either earth dragons or zombie waves.
However, the "A-level zombie tide" is a serious event that may endanger the territory's destruction.
Ymir frowned when he heard this, and did not dare to delay. He signaled to everyone, "Let's discuss this matter tomorrow."
After a pause, she said to Ren again: "I'll go to the city wall first to check the situation..."
Ren nodded, "Yeah."
After saying that, Ymir did not leave the water at all, turned around and left, and quickly climbed up the wall.
Although the group of mechanics behind him were very angry, they didn't say anything after hearing what the eldest princess said, and turned around and left with a puff of their sleeves.
... ...
After everyone left, Tust laughed to himself.
I finally convinced myself to stand up. I didn't want my skills to be buried in the coffin, but I didn't expect...
"Hehehe... As expected, no matter what I say, no one will believe it."
The old man looked sad and muttered something to himself. The "false accusation" scene from thirty years ago is still vivid in my mind, and the grievances I once felt are all stuck in my chest.
"picture... "
Ren wanted to say a few words of comfort, but the old man shook his head to stop him.
Thirty years of resentment had made his temper very withdrawn and eccentric.
At this time, Tust's pair of turbid eyes suddenly burst out with a sharp light, almost ferocious, "Steam ball? Do these guys understand how to use it?"
The next moment, a mechanical armor with six arms and antlers crashed to the ground.
"Tearing" a sound of the brocade robe being cut was heard.
The eight-armed mechanical arm with cold light behind Master Tust tore open the large mechanic's robe, revealing its ferocious eight-clawed shape...
The old man's thirty years of resentment turned into anger, and he exploded in an instant: "In that case, let's see how this bad old man of mine is worse than that Brendan de Molay!"
