During the confrontation between Ren and the city guards in Black Dragon City, somewhere in a high tower overlooking the academic hall of Oma College, a gorgeously dressed blond young man and several guards were leisurely watching the conflict.
"Your Highness, the third commander of the City Guard, Howard, has surrounded the college with his men. It seems that they are ready to forcibly arrest him."
"Tsk tsk... I just had no excuse to pull out a few nails from the city guard office, and they actually brought the reason to my door."
"Your Highness, are the Lopez family people too anxious? It seems unwise to arrest the people of Black Dragon City now."
"Haha, our Queen is not stupid, but is very smart. Now the Royal Academy of Sciences is her biggest support in fighting for the throne. At this time, she will never let trouble happen here. That Dean Brendan, she must Guaranteed. Moreover, you guessed wrong, they are not going for the Black Dragon City Lord, but the old man."
"Ah? This subordinate is a little confused... Don't they want to take down the Black Dragon City lord and then use this to intimidate Her Royal Highness?"
"No, of course not. I took over some information from the Imperial Intelligence Division before, and then I learned that Blackwater Tower had an 'SSS-level top secret file' about this old man."
"Isn't that old man the chief mechanic of Black Dragon City? Intelligence shows that he seems to be at the level of a 'Grand Mechanical Master'..."
"Mechanical Grandmaster? No, it's much more than that. Besides, an ordinary Mechanical Grandmaster is not worthy of my personal visit."
"ah?"
"The introduction in the 'SSS file' shows that Tust Fuenst is a 'mechanical legend'. Very few people know this information, so most people probably think that the old man is an ordinary person." Mechanic.”
"Mechanical Legend?"
"Yes. Legend has it that the mechas he built have combat power comparable to the 'Top Ten Legends'. He may be a top mechanical talent that has surpassed the 'Grand Master'."
"But, Your Highness... How is this possible! No matter how powerful the mechanic is, his combat power cannot be as good as the legendary extraordinary. Even our top Omar mecha can only reach the level of high-level extraordinary. And it has shortcomings. There are many more, except for legion operations, otherwise they will not pose a threat to the top transcendent ones at all."
"That's why I came to take a look. But whether it's real or not, I'll find out soon."
"..."
When the fourth prince Mueller said this, he said nothing.
His expression was also full of curiosity, looking at the academic hall in the distance with foggy eyes.
After thinking about it, he murmured to himself: "Tsk tsk, with such a top mechanic and the background of the Royal Academy of Sciences, even if the throne is lost, the Queen's team will have a chance to make a comeback in the future. This move seems to be Being forced to accept the attack is actually a preemptive strike. Before anyone can react, it leaves them with a way out, which is a good plan... "
... ... .
In the academic hall of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Omar, everyone was stunned by the sudden change.
How come a good academic exchange meeting turns into a martial arts competition in a blink of an eye
However, it was none of their business, and the students and instructors all had indifferent expressions on their faces.
Grand Master Jurgen vaguely guessed that something was fishy.
His intuition told him that the murderer was definitely not Ren and his group.
However, he couldn't say anything.
After all, it was a fact that a high-ranking noble had died, and there was nothing wrong with the City Guard's approach of arresting people.
Originally, in this situation, no matter what the status, even a duke or a marquis, had to accept the investigation obediently. After finding out the situation, if he is not guilty, he will naturally be released.
But no one expected that Ren's attitude was incredibly tough, and he had no intention of surrendering.
And as soon as he opened his mouth, the guards in Black Dragon City looked like they were ready to fight to the end.
This move also shocked the onlookers.
"Are those guys in Black Dragon City crazy?!"
"I'm afraid these outsiders don't know the rules of the imperial capital... If they dare to resist law enforcement, the city guards really dare to kill people!"
"This is going to cause a big mess..."
"Humph, you are really overestimating your capabilities. With just a few of them, if they really want to resist the city guards, they have no chance of survival!"
"..."
Everyone was whispering, some were puzzled, and some were gloating.
Others didn't understand why Renne and the others chose to violently resist the law.
This is the Imperial Capital of Omar, with hundreds of thousands of elite troops stationed there. Even the "Top Ten Legends" who cause trouble here will definitely die.
What's more, Renn doesn't have legendary combat power to protect him.
They didn't know how Renne and his group had the confidence to say such things.
Seeing that the battle was about to break out, the frowning Grand Master Jurgen stood up and persuaded: "Lord Rennes, I think there may be some misunderstandings here. You'd better not be impulsive... I will contact the chief for you as soon as possible. On Her Majesty’s side, I think the misunderstanding will be resolved soon.”
His words were also well-intentioned. After all, he felt that if he really wanted to take action, Renne and his team would have no chance of winning.
Renn shook his head slightly, indicating that there was no need to say more.
These onlookers probably didn't understand why Dean Brendan did this.
Just like thirty years ago, it was not for anything else, just for the old man's mechanical technology that was beyond the times.
No one understands the significance of science and technology to this era better than Ren. The potential and value of a top mechanic like Tust is even worth the entire Omar Royal Mechanics Corps!
This battle must be fought.
... ... .
Seeing that Ren and his party were planning to resist, the face of the leader opposite showed a disdainful smile.
They naturally knew that Tust had a mecha with legendary combat power, which was also one of the purposes of their arrest.
Two fifth-level extraordinary people came to the city guard office just for now.
The mechanic also has a shortcoming, that is, it takes time to put on the armor and start the boiler. This process was enough for the high-level extraordinary killer to kill them several times.
What's more, they also made a special observation before coming here, and found that none of the guards brought by the Lord of Black Dragon City this time were top-notch extraordinary.
Once they take action, no one can stop them from capturing the mechanic!
In order not to leave anyone with a reason to say anything, the commander did not dare to take the lead, so he ordered his subordinates: "Arrest them! Anyone who dares to resist will be shot to death!"
Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, there was a sudden gunshot and a "pop", breaking the already extremely tense stalemate.
Who fired the shot
When he heard the gunshot, even the commander was stunned for a moment.
This was strange since the shots came from people brought in from his side.
Without his order, who would dare to shoot
The reality didn't give anyone any time to think about it. This shot was like lighting the fuse of a powder keg, quickly exploding everything. The musketeers on both sides pulled the trigger in a split second.
Snap, snap, snap...
For a moment, the sound was as dense as a rainstorm, and the entire academic hall became a battlefield filled with bullets!
And at the moment when the gunfire rang out, the two fifth-level extraordinary people reacted very quickly. Their mission this time was to take away Tust.
So as if it was agreed upon, I naturally rushed forward immediately.
... ... .
On the other hand, the person who was shot in the cold was none other than Mr. Tust!
No matter how powerful mechanics are, their physical bodies are also weak, and muskets can cause fatal wounds to most mechanics.
But what is surprising is that when the bullet hit Tust's left leg, he did not see the blood exploding. Instead, he heard a "clang" sound of metal touching, and a flash of fire!
Not far away, he saw that it was Tust who was shot, and Ren looked as usual, with no trace of panic on his face.
Since he dares to take the old man out for revenge, he is not afraid of being assassinated.
Because... Mr. Tust's current body is simply not something that an ordinary fifth-level supernatural being can kill!
Looking closely, you can see the silver light shining under the hole in the old man's skin that was broken by the gun just now. It was not flesh and blood, but a layer of metal like mercury.
This is clearly the ancient alchemy secret that the old man discovered in the goblin civilization, and then combined it with mechanical technology to transform his body into a "mechanical alchemical body"!
... ... .
The old man's physical body has shrunk for nearly thirty years. In fact, he has been researching the technology of replacing the physical body with mechanical skeletons a long time ago. I want to replace the physical body of the mechanic with steel machinery, or partially replace it.
However, because some key technical problems have not yet been solved, it is still a little behind.
The ancient black technology discovered last time in the goblin ruins headquarters just made up for several important technical problems.
The physical body has always been the most fatal shortcoming of mechanics. Pain, dizziness, blood loss, paralysis... can all cause the physical body to lose its combat effectiveness, leading to death.
Even though Tust had a mecha with legendary combat power, he knew that without a mecha, he could easily be killed with a musket.
Steel machinery, on the other hand, completely circumvents all these weaknesses.
Therefore, he simply experimented with his own body and tried the "mechanical alchemy body" recorded in the ancient goblin laws.
Then, he succeeded.
His current body tissues, except for some necessary organs, have almost been completely replaced by metal mechanical parts. Even the skin on the whole body is made of alchemical bionic leather with strong defense after enchantment.
Under the skin, there are extremely hard alloy metal bones. The skull, sternum, limb bones, almost everything that can be replaced has been replaced...
Even the very few necessary blood vessels and organs that are preserved are protected within the alloy frame, leaving no flaws at all.
The physical body is miserable and weak, but the machine is eternal.
It can be said that even if he is not wearing a mecha, Mr. Tust's physical body is now a steel mecha!
... ... ..
How fast did the two fifth-level commanders react
The moment they heard the gunshot, one rushed towards Tust, trying to stop this "main target"; while the other was responsible for stopping Rennes and the guards of Black Dragon City.
Naturally, they also noticed a flash of metallic luster on Tust's leg after being shot, but they didn't have time to think about it, and there was no room to think about it.
Tust's "steel alchemy body" did not belong to this era at all, so the fifth-level commander did not realize what a terrifying existence he was about to face.
The strong wind blew, and a figure approached and appeared in front of Tust.
At the same time, there was a sudden "tearing" sound of brocade and silk, and it seemed as if some monster was trying to break free from under Tust's loose robe. ,
After a period of swollen knots, eight ferocious octopus mechanical arms tore their robes and fluttered in the wind, revealing their terrifying fangs!
"What is this?!"
The fifth-level commander was shocked, but his actions were not delayed at all.
He didn't understand what the flexible robotic arm of an octopus was, but he also understood his mission, which was to never let the old man in front of him take out his mecha and put it on!
At this distance, he was also very confident that a physically weak mechanic would have no chance of taking out his armor.
Draw the sword and slash, all in one go.
The next moment, the leader of the heavily armored swordsman slashed at the dancing octopus mechanical arm with his sword, trying to block the obstruction; while his other hand was aimed at Tust's neck. passed.
The fifth-level extraordinary beings are those who stand at the top of extraordinary combat power. This sharp sword, which contains the wind-based fighting spirit, can easily cut off even steel plates.
The sword has not yet arrived, but the sword energy has arrived.
The violent wind-blade sword energy cut tiny cuts on Tust's skin, but strangely, not a drop of scarlet blood spilled out.
Under the cracked skin, there was also a piece of silver metal. If you look closely, you can still see complex and mysterious enchantment runes under the silver light. And the sharp sword energy left no scratches on the metal layer.
The power of a fifth-level extraordinary sword is more than a hundred times greater than that of the musket just now.
But what was shocking was that when the double-edged sword was slashed down and fire flew out, it was caught on the spot by the old man's eight mechanical arms.
Click click click...
The moment the two touched their foreheads, the gold steel pliers at the top of the robotic arm closed quickly like a animal trap.
Each of the eight iron claws locked the sword tightly at a strange angle, making it impossible to pull it out at all.
The next moment, a huge force was passed into the hands of the commander. His expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in his heart: "Not good!"
Seeing that two mechanical arms were about to catch him, the commander's reaction was also extremely fast. In an instant, his fighting spirit surged, and there was wind at his feet. He decisively took off his sword and avoided these two grasps.
"Is this a robotic arm?"
The fifth-level commander never expected that he would be forced by several mechanical arms to lose his sword in a hurry when he met him.
In his impression, wouldn't a mechanical arm be something that could be cut off with a single strike against fifth-level extraordinary beings like them
But how could the octopus-like iron arm in front of him be so strong!
Also, why is it so flexible and why is it so powerful...
Questions popped up one after another.
... ... .
Not only the commanders who took action, but also the "expert" mechanics from Oma Academy saw this scene, and their eyes widened with a look of dumbfounded expression.
"This... what kind of monster is that?!"
"That's actually a robotic arm? He flexibly controlled eight robotic arms without any manual control at all. How did he do this?"
"What's going on with that guy's body? Why is there no flesh and blood, but metal bones..."
"Oh my god, this is incredible..."
"..."
Not only are the students unable to understand, but now even the instructors are completely confused.
Carl's performance at the previous communication meeting was amazing, but it was still within the understanding of the mechanics. People like Omar admit that their technology is lagging behind, but given a few years, it is possible for them to catch up.
But Mr. Tust's move was completely unparalleled.
This is no longer a question of how many years ahead, but a "black technology" that is truly incomprehensible.
The more professional a person is, the more they can see how serious the old man's "empty-handedness" is.
How can a robotic arm that requires pure physical control be over-controlled without doing anything
Or control eight at a time
Could it be that "mind" overrides the control
No way
No matter how powerful the mind is, it is impossible to control the mechanical arm and compete with the fifth-level extraordinary power.
At this moment, even Jurgen, the "Grand Master of Mechanics", stared wide-eyed.
He could vaguely understand the principles of the eight mechanical arms. The metal is a special alloy with high-level enchantments, so it can be cut continuously; the octopus nodules have a special arrangement, so they are so flexible...
But he also didn't understand at all why the robotic arm was directly connected to the spine; and what was the source of such power and kinetic energy
"There's something weird about his body! The kinetic energy boiler is inside his body!"
In an instant, Jurgen figured it out.
The real black technology is not the mechanical arm, but Tust's steel body that has been separated from flesh and blood!
"How is it possible? How on earth did he do it?"
Thinking of this, Jurgen's expression changed.
The more he understood the principle, the more confused he felt.
Finally, he understood the meaning of what his disciple said in his letter, "Tuster is the top mechanic in the world."
This reminded him of the feeling he had when he first came to the academy as an apprentice and looked up to the great mechanical master.
Now, he has entered the realm of "Mechanical Grand Master" and is one of the few people standing at the top of the world's mechanical field.
But looking at the man operating the eight-clawed mechanical arm, he looked up again, just like before.
I thought I had climbed to the top of the mountain after all the hard work, but unexpectedly, among the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain, I suddenly saw a taller mountain with no top visible.
At this moment, Jurgen's heart was filled with shock and only awe of science.
"It turns out that I'm still very, very far behind."
He never thought that in this era there would be a mechanic who could help him look up to the mountains.
At this moment, he felt bitter in his heart, but also excited.
A certain belief that had been dormant for many years suddenly boiled and burned...
... ... .
Mr. Tust blocked the fifth-level extraordinary attack, and the face of Dean Brendan, who had a "guaranteed victory" look on his face just a second ago, suddenly changed!
He also saw the abnormality in Mr. Tust's body structure. The kind of technology that he couldn't even comprehend now made him feel inexplicable panic.
The mechanic blocked a fifth-level extraordinary blow with just his physical strength
This goes far beyond intelligence description!
He had previously known the information that Tust had a mecha with legendary combat power, and had already prepared a countermeasure.
They also noticed that the Lord of Black Dragon City did not have any top experts with him, nor was he with Ymir, so they planned to launch an attack in the academy.
According to the plan, even if there is a conflict, shouldn't the other party be suppressed instantly
As long as we can capture that Tust, everything will be worth it.
But now, what happened
Brendan had a vague premonition that something bad was about to happen, and shouted: "Stop him quickly! Don't let him put on the mecha!"
But by this time, it was already too late.
... ... .
Renn had no intention of going up to help. The guards stopped the city guards who were surrounding them, and he took some time off.
Probably, he is the most laid-back one in the entire battlefield.
Renn stood so calmly in the gunfire, and then looked at Tust's eight-clawed mechanical arm tearing apart his clothes and revealing his features, and he knew that the situation was decided.
He muttered: "Is it about to appear... Tsk tsk, I really look forward to the combat power of this new generation of the old man's 'Deer God' armor."
Thousands of shocked thoughts flashed through the bystanders, and only a moment passed on the battlefield.
After Tust used his mechanical arm to block the sword of the fifth-level commander, suddenly some mechanical armor kits appeared on the eight mechanical arms.
Gear bite, joint rotation, snap fit, mechanism crisp sound...
Before anyone could tell what happened to Abi, they heard a series of "clicks" and "clicks" of dense metal contact.
To everyone's surprise, what Mr. Tust took out was not a whole armor, but some large steel parts.
The eight robotic arms started working at the same time, dexterously assembling the mechanical parts like Lego toys, and quickly put them on the body.
Armor, boiler, armor, skeleton, then artillery, shield, sword, armor...
Without a fixed mecha form, there is no chance for interruption.
Neither muskets nor magic completely prevented Tuscoat from manipulating the mechanical arm to put on armor.
The more parts the mecha is assembled, the bigger it becomes. The armor covers the whole body, and all attacks no longer pose any threat.
Not long after, a majestic eight-armed mechanical armor appeared in everyone's eyes.
Even though he had seen the old man show off the new generation of "Eight-Armed Deer God Armor" before in the territory, Ren was equally shocked when he looked at the "transformation" process in front of him like a Transformer.
Ren's eyes were full of brilliance and he murmured: "Invincible armor."
