"Be honest, we have plenty of time now. If you don't want to suffer too much, it's best to explain it frankly."
A member of the Inspection Department wielded a thin metal whip and walked back and forth behind the captured people. The crackling sound of the whip whipping the air was like exploding firecrackers, which frightened the three people kneeling in front.
Although they were taught some lessons before coming here, they knew how to avoid the eyes of ordinary people, record videos carefully, and search for certain evidence, but these were only rough lessons and they were not professionals trained since childhood.
With such amateurish methods and behavior, when he encountered the most professional department members in the Alliance, he was just trying to do what he did best, and he was caught just after a casual search.
After a day of interrogation in a small dark room in a corner of the workshop, they knelt in the hot room and sweated all over. Their hair and clothes were sticky on their bodies. They were already a little exhausted and confused.
Just when several people could no longer hold on and were about to collapse, the door finally opened, and a slightly cool wind blew in from the outside, bringing some freshness and allowing the three people to wake up slightly from their unconsciousness.
They couldn't turn their heads, they could only hear the light footsteps coming in, and then the people who originally interrogated them in the house completely changed their appearance. They didn't show the cold and stern appearance just now, and even their speech became softer.
"Sir Hedra." They said hello to the young girl who walked in, and then several people kneeling on the ground heard a soft voice.
"Have you discovered anything? Also, don't kill anyone, and it's best not to hurt them." This voice sounded like the sound of nature to the three of them. They had never been so grateful, and they were so excited that they almost cried.
Sylutia also walked up to a few people at this moment, covering his cheeks with his snow-white sleeves, and looked at these three people carefully with his moving eyes.
The three of them are all second-level apprentices. They have worked in this workshop for almost ten years, and their resumes are very normal. If it hadn't been discovered this time, no one would have suspected them at all.
"Your Majesty, after our separate interrogations and verifications, we have roughly clarified the origins and purposes of the three of them."
"Yes." Sylutia nodded, waving her sleeves lightly, and a light blue transparent soundproof round cover enveloped the three of them. Then she walked to the other side to listen to the reports of the team members.
"The person who instigated them was another deputy of the current master Segna, that is, Pavis from Sculpting School."
"He is one of the most promising members of Sculpting School" at the moment. At the age of 36, he has already entered Fifth Order."
Entering Fifth Order at the age of 36 sounds really impressive. Sylutia remembers that the former fifth-grade chief Nores seemed to be Fifth Order who entered the school at the age of 30. This is already close to the historical record.
Mage Alliance The youngest in history Fifth Order Mage appeared hundreds of years ago in Star-Gazer School". That genius was promoted to Fifth Order at the age of 28. This record is difficult to break now, because Star-Gazer School" advanced with the help of the power of the Astral Realm from another world, and its speed is far faster than other factions.
Although entering Fifth Order at the age of 36 sounds far inferior to Nores, looking at the entire Mage Alliance, and even the entire Fourth Continent, they are rare geniuses, and many countries may only produce such one in a century.
"Because he is favored by the masters in the school, he is also the first deputy to be recommended to master Segna for study and assistance,"
A member then added.
C
"How many years has he been here at Mishir District?" Sylutia suddenly wanted to know.
"It has been three years, and currently he is the closest to Master Segna in terms of knowledge and skills."
"In addition to him, there is a deputy named Vijel from Sculpting School, but this one has only been here for less than a year."
Sylutia nodded slightly after listening, and then the member continued to talk.
"Pavis's men gave the three of them a lot of props, including ones for concealing aura, ones for recording images, and ones for instant messaging. With these, the three of them can protect each other and communicate with each other in real time."
"However, it was precisely this kind of communication prop that we noticed right away." The members of the Inspection Department naturally had special means to monitor and discover this kind of communication prop, so they were caught as soon as they made contact.
"Are you sure it was Pavis who instigated it?" Sylutia guessed that it might have been framed by someone else.
"It shouldn't be wrong. Although they didn't meet Pavis directly, when they were being trained before, the three of them met an acquaintance of Pavis, and then they knew who they were working for." After hearing this, Sylutia nodded slightly.
Although the person was caught, how to deal with it? Should he report the matter to Master Segna? Sylutia thought about it for a while and thought that this was not a good thing.
First of all, Master Segna was born in Sculpting School after all. If this matter is fully disclosed, it will destroy the reputation of Sculpting School. Even if the fault is indeed Pavis, he may not be able to accept it in his heart.
Furthermore, after all, she has only been here for more than a month, and she is far from being in contact with the core of Master Segna's system. If she discloses her conflict with Pavis, Master Segna will have to choose one from the other, and it is very likely that she will do it for the name of the school. The reputation and situation were stable, so she had to leave early to avoid further expansion of the conflict. After all, she had only studied for more than a month, and Pavis had been here for three years. The other party was the guaranteed choice left by Master Segna besides the ideal successor.
However, if you are completely silent, you will inevitably be looked down upon. At the same time, if you don't speak clearly at this time, it may become something strange in public opinion and rumors later.
Xilu Tia thought about the possible development direction of things, and then made a decision.
"Bindfold them and take them to the Mage Guild, but try to keep the process low-key and don't let too many people know."
The matter still needs to be notified to Master Segna and a formal record left on the Mage Guild's side. However, for the sake of Sculpting School's reputation, she will not take the initiative to make it public. How to deal with it in the future is all decided by Master Segna.
After listening to Sylutia's instructions, several members immediately understood the girl's plan. They were not surprised by this result. It was indeed in line with Sylutia's character, fair and gentle.
After unhooking the soundproof shield, several members pulled the three people up, first gave them some water to prevent them from passing out, then covered their eyes with black cloth, put on hoods, and took them to Steam Locomotive.
Then the group set off to the location of the Mage union.
An hour later, Xilu Tia waited for Master Segna in the side hall. The old man's footsteps were still so hasty.
After hearing the voice, Sylutia stood up, then gave a brief salute and nodded, and then reported what happened today.
"----Although they confessed that they were instructed by others, I think it still needs to be verified and considered, so I transferred it to the professionals at the Mage Guild to handle it." Sylutia did not explicitly say that it was Pavis, but Master Segna is such a shrewd person. Anyone who can become a master in the field of Mage cannot be a fool. It soon became clear that the origins of these people are not small.
"I understand." He nodded and asked his assistant to bring something.
"You have been here for a month. Although we are not a clear master-student relationship, you are studying here. As an elder, I should also give you some care. This is a gift for you. Just consider it as compensation from me." He refused to accept it and let Sylutia accept it. After a few words, he left in a hurry. From the looks of it, he seemed to be preparing to interrogate the three of them.
Sylutia also said goodbye and left Mage Guild. On the way back while sitting in Steam Locomotive, she opened the gift given by Master Segna. This was a sealed one-time space crystal ball. Inside Levitation was a silver beast-shaped Chariot.
[Silver-Maned Lion Chariot] (Level 4·Excellence): Chariot, a machine built by master Segna, can be transformed into Lion Golem can fight and transform into Steam Locomotive. Its body material is mixed with a small amount of Mithril, showing a gorgeous silver color. Its Lion animal head is carved lifelike. It is a rare treasure and can be used for collection.
This gift is very valuable. Even Master Segna has to spend a lot of energy and effort to make it. Just by being able to get a hand-made work from Master Segna, Sylutia has already surpassed several of his former deputies.
However, she has no plans to drive at the moment. Once this disposable space crystal ball is broken, it will be troublesome to reseal it later.
If such a perfect masterpiece were put on the market, rich people would be willing to buy it for tens of thousands of gold coins. Master Segna made it himself. Just this name can attract countless people.
There have been such anecdotes and jokes in the Mage Alliance.
The unassuming professor you met during class at the Academy may be a master in this field, and he is also the person with the highest social status and the strongest power you will ever see in your life. If Academy were not involved, you would not even have a chance to meet and talk to him.
In the next few days, Mishir District was very calm. Xilu Tia did not hear any special news. She only learned from the staff of the Mage Guild that Master Segna had called several other deputies over in the next two days, arranged tasks and assessments for everyone, and explained that assessments and inspections would be conducted later.
With the tasks assigned by Master Segna, you should feel a lot calmer in the next month or two. After all, completing these tasks is not an easy task. It takes up a lot of energy and time, and you have no time to interfere with other people and things.
It was also through the calmness of the past two months that Sylutia was completely immersed in the research and development and exploration of the new Steam Locomotive, in--
Continue to absorb the skills taught by master Segna and practice your own ideas.
Sculpting School "It originated from carvers who decorated buildings. They created exquisite stone statues to record celebrities and history. Therefore, this is a profession that requires a certain amount of knowledge.
Over time, these carvers gradually formed a specialized organization of scholars, and when Origin Hourglass" established the original Mage Alliance, they were one of them, and mastered the art of engraving runes to make Golem.
When this kind of technological inheritance developed to a certain extent, it absorbed a lot of mechanical knowledge and skills to create a more flexible and powerful Golem, and in the next few hundred years, this skill was spread to many other branches, and Sculpting Locomotive" created by master Segna is one of them.
The more she learns about Sculpting School", the more Sylutia feels like she is connecting by analogy, as if there is an invisible trace that vaguely connects the knowledge of Sculpting School"Phantom Puppet School"Bionics School", but she can't clearly figure it out yet, she just has this feeling vaguely.
Although he still doesn't know exactly how to do it, Sylutia began to try to integrate Avian Runes of Bionics School" into the development of new locomotives of Mockingbird".
Avian Runes is often related to flight, airflow, and wings, and the same is true when used on Steam Locomotive. The previous Mockingbird series motorcycles are famous for their lightness and flexibility. In their most glorious times, they even won some competition championships.
However, the more research and attempts were made, the more Sylutia found that running on wheels for Steam Locomotive was a burden, which greatly limited the shape and limited the performance characteristics to lightweight and reduced wind resistance.
There is a limit to reducing wind resistance, and there is a marginal diminishing effect. That is to say, after several improvements, the actual effect may only be about 5% higher than the previous generation, which is difficult to bring about any revolutionary breakthrough.
What if the wheels were abandoned? Sylutia thought about it, wouldn't it be the same as an airship, but the airship doesn't run very fast. Without ground grip, it relies entirely on propellers for propulsion, which requires a lot of power and consumes a lot of energy.
No, the wheel is an ancestral method and cannot be omitted easily. Sylutia tapped the tip of the pen.
The previous generations of Mockingbird" series have been the best results of balancing all aspects. It is not that difficult for newcomers to surpass and make better designs.
No wonder those former deputies are stuck here. I think they can be relied upon because they are talented and smart people. Even if they don't understand it at first, they can find out the real difficulty after staying in Mishir District for a while.
Precisely because they realized how difficult it was to innovate under such conditions, they did not waste time struggling but chose to give up and leave as soon as possible.
Now Sylutia is facing the same problem and has to think about how to break the situation.
It's a pity that after thinking hard for two or three days, Sylutia couldn't find a very good way. If we asked her to make the same, more exquisite work, she could indeed achieve it, but it would still be a problem to surpass it in terms of design concept.
Can we only submit a minimally innovative work? If it were other deputies, how would they solve it?
Thinking of this, Sylutia suddenly opened up some ideas.
Yes, it was a problem for her. Could it be that the other deputies could do it easily? Probably not, but why did they stay? At this moment, Xilu Tia suddenly sat up and walked out of the room.
"I need some information, that is, what works have been released and what achievements have been made by the other deputies since they came to Mishir District."
After instructing the assisting members brought to him, only one day later, Sylutia received the compiled information, because most of these things have been made public and are not secrets. It only takes a little time to get them.
Except for her new deputy and the two supported by Sculpting School, the other two assistants are Delunsu from Orichalcum School and Mias from Fire Spirit School. These two have produced good works in the past year or two, and these new works have all been integrated into The advantages of its own faction, such as Delunsu's improved Golden Bull series motorcycles, are made of metal with higher structural strength, while Mias pioneered the addition of a jet structure, allowing Steam Locomotive to rely on jet speed at certain moments to turn quickly, or burst into sprints, etc.
It seems that her preconceived notions misled her, thinking that it must be realized with the existing technical framework of Mockingbird. It seems that she can also take advantage of the Mithril Clock school of thought to carry out a new and improved design.
If you want to do this, there aren't many available methods.
In an instant, Sylutia had more than a dozen ideas and thoughts popping up in his mind, such as Steam Locomotive who could travel through space briefly, Steam Locomotive who could rely on time to accelerate, and Steam Locomotive who could Steam Locomotive, which is blessed by the void power of Star World, and Steam Locomotive, which has a more complex multi-layered nested enchantment structure engraved on the entire car, etc. There are so many inspirations that suddenly pop up.
The transformation involving the fields of time and space requires the integration of extremely profound theoretical knowledge, which will be difficult to implement. Transformation and exploration in other fields were very easy for Sylutia. It only took her half a day to come up with many new creative designs.
Well, it will probably take several months to implement all of these, so let's first choose a direction that is more distinctive and not too difficult.
After sorting it out, Sylutia selected one of them. This is a design that relies on the force field breath of the Astral Realm to give the body the ability to float for a short time. In order to fit this new design concept, let's call it "Levitation Flyer".
