Half a month later.
"Ugh!"
Duke, who was trying hard to suppress the urge to vomit, stared unblinkingly at the Supreme Mage's runic notebook. Although it was broken, it was a huge blow to Duke.
As a personal letter written by a Supreme Mage, it contained her mana aura. To Duke, who was currently in the process of awakening his mana talent, it was a particularly strong source of stimulation.
However, if he wanted to complete his Clockwork Armor, he had to learn the structure of the runes, because the Hexagon Gem needed the support of the runes to guide and release energy.
As for the reactor?
Where could he find Paladin? He didn't even know if this element had been discovered!
He was even more interested in using Hexagon gems for personal extraction!
"I can't take it anymore!"
Duke closed the diary and put it away in his inventory. He picked up the spittoon on the ground and kept vomiting. Duke put down the spittoon after clearing his mind of the feeling of vomiting. His clockwork armor was basically complete, except for the last part.
Energy segment.
The runic system that supported the operation of the Hex Gem had not been determined yet. The Supreme Mage's Runic Manual was not something that he could come into contact with at his current level.
He was lucky to be able to draw it.
Even if it was broken, he had only learned less than a third of it by himself. However, just what he had learned had already given him a rough idea.
Dong Dong Dong
There was a knock on the door, and Orianna's voice came from outside the door.
"Duke, are you ready? Father said that we're going to Bluesmoke Manor. Today is the evaluation meeting, so we can't be late!”
"I'm coming!"
Duke picked up the white trench coat and slowly put it on. He opened the door and walked out of the room.
"Aiya, why aren't you anxious at all?”
Unlike usual, Orianna was not wearing work clothes today. Instead, she was wearing a smart and capable dress. She tidied her hair and pulled Duke's hand as she hurried downstairs.
"Hurry up, or we won't be able to make it to the evaluation meeting!”
"I know, I know. Don't be anxious!”
Duke was helplessly dragged away by Orianna. Today was the evaluation meeting of Bluesmoke Manor. On the surface, the organizers were the Pi City Council and the academy, but Bluesmoke Manor was the territory of the Phiroth family.
The meaning behind this, you taste, you carefully taste!
When Colin saw Duke come down, he put on his top hat, picked up his clockwork cane, and nodded at Duke."Let's hurry up. The Bluescent Manor won't wait for us!”
"Got it, Mr. Colin!"
Duke patted the hem of his trench coat and smiled. He was ready for today's review.
The evaluation meeting of the Bluesmoke Manor would be held a week before Pi City's Evolution Day. The purpose was to select capable craftsmen and valuable works, and then promote these works on the Evolution Day.
While Colin and the other two were rushing towards Bluesmoke Manor, two or three people from the Tallis family were also preparing to leave.
"Are you ready, Jess?"
"To be honest, I'm a little nervous!"
Jess pulled his bow tie. Victor, who was leaning on his walking stick, gave Jess an encouraging smile."Don't be afraid. We've prepared for this day for so long. We'll definitely succeed!”
Jess took a deep breath and recalled the time when he and Victor gambled with their future. They took the risk to break into Hemmerdinger's laboratory and started the experiment.
If they hadn't succeeded in the end, the two of them would still be doing hard labor somewhere!
Ever since the experiment was successful, the two of them had been working hard to prepare for the evaluation meeting at Bluescent Manor. In order to promote Hextech, the two of them had forgotten to eat and sleep.
"Breathe in and out."
After taking a deep breath, Jess calmed down." Let's go, Victor. The new era will be started by us!"”
Looking at the confident smile on his friend's face, Victor couldn't help but be influenced by him. He nodded and said,"Okay, let's go!"
.......
Zuan, Fulgen Tavern.
Boom!
The loud explosion shook the ceiling of the entire tavern. As the dust fell, all the customers were not surprised. Only Phandle, who was behind the counter, had a worried look in his eyes.
" Explode, behave yourself!!"
Vi walked over at this moment. She leaned against the bar counter with a tray in her hand and wiped her face worriedly.
"How many times has this been this week?"
"Thirty-seven times!" Milo placed the wine glass he had just put away on the bar counter and said to Vi,"Mind your sister. I'm afraid she'll tear down the tavern at some point!”
"I know what to do. Milo, shut up!”
After Vi pushed Milo away, she said helplessly,"Ever since the incident at the old canning factory, Exploding Explosions has been creating new things.”
Phandle put the wine glass aside and looked at Vi.""Why don't we think of a way to send her to learn something?”
"Learn something?" Vi raised her eyebrows." Learn from whom? Learn what?"”
"Duke!"
Phandle thought of the black-haired, black-eyed youth and suggested,""He's a very good person. If I learn from him, I might gain a lot!”
"Let me think about it." Vi pursed her lips and picked up the wine glass to give to the guest.
Boom!
Another explosion sounded, and Phandle covered his face helplessly.
"When will these days end?”
............
Phiroth Family, Bluesmoke Manor.
The high walls made of snow-white rocks were endless, and the roof made of steel reflected dazzling light. The long walls were filled with niches, in which bronze busts of members of the Phiroth family were placed.
Among them were the current family head, Stevan Phiroth, Alicia Phiroth, and Darke Phiroth. They were Camil's biological brother, great-great-aunt, and great-niece, respectively.
Stevan was still alive and hadn't been strangled to death by his sister.
It should be noted that Camil's great-great-aunt, Alicia, was one-armed, which showed her great contribution to the Phiroth family.
That was the contribution of finding the original crystal and establishing the foundation of the Phiroth family.
Beneath Alicia's bronze statue was the motto of the Phiroth family.
"For my family, I'm willing to contribute."
Other than that, there was also the endless blue lavender in the manor, which was why the manor was named.
At this moment, at the entrance of the manor, the law enforcers of Pi City were wearing uniforms to maintain order. Many students and craftsmen were anxiously waiting at the door with their works.
Everyone was very polite and tried not to touch other people's works, but the anxiety and nervousness in their eyes could not be hidden.
Beside Duke's feet was a box that was half the height of a person. It was made of brass and had a unique clockwork gear carved on the front. A gem was embedded in the center of the gear, and blue water flowed around it.
This was an exclusive logo that Duke had designed for himself.
"Looks like there are quite a few people here today!”
Duke, who was touching the box beside him, scanned the crowd and saw a few familiar figures. Catherine, her mother, and her father entered the door together. The Guillermo couple were the judges this time.
As for the black horse knight, Jess was talking to Victor in a low voice. Jess was muscular and handsome. He looked less decadent and more relaxed than when Duke met him at the Enforcement Union.
Victor coughed from time to time, but it couldn't reduce the excitement on his face.
"Is Victor's health not good now?”
Duke frowned slightly. After sizing up Victor, he looked at Jayce. Victor didn't seem to notice the abnormality of his good friend and partner.
"I have to find an opportunity to remind him. It's a pity that such a good genius has fallen just like that!”
"And in the original movie, Victor wasn't considered good. He was simply tragic!”
"However, all of this has to go through the selection of the evaluation committee!”
Duke looked at the box at his feet, and his eyes were filled with confidence. So what if Jess and Victor brought Hextech?
He was confident that his design was not inferior to anyone else's!
"Now, let's start the roll call. Everyone, enter the arena in order!!”
A shout attracted everyone's attention. Duke's eyes narrowed.
The selection had begun!
...、The monthly votes, evaluation votes, and tips…
... As for the previous chapter, he would have to wait for a while…
