Chapter 333: Shock from Mechanical Engineering

"In that case, do you know of any archbishop in the Holy See who is good at holy retrospective?" Rebecca asked reluctantly.

"This ...... As far as I know, in the Imperial Branch, Cardinal Olufi is the only one who is best at divine retrospection. Couffren reluctantly spat out a name.

"Cardinal Olufi?" Rebecca repeated with a strange expression, why did she think the name was so familiar?

"That's right. Cardinal Olufi was stationed in the imperial capital for a long time. Coughren watched nervously as Rebecca's expression changed, and he told the lie almost uncontrollably—if Alfie or Celent were here, they would have been able to expose him immediately. Unfortunately, neither of them happened to be here.

"So I decided, after getting out of here, the next destination is the imperial capital of Casteaa!" Rebecca said with a snap of her fingers in a tone that was not in question.

"Get out of here?" Anthony slapped his thigh and said to Rebecca apologetically, "You haven't passed my test yet." I can open up the net for both of you, and if three of the remaining five people pass the test, you can go to the next level, otherwise you two will just stay here. Trust me, it's a lot of fun, and you'll be able to play for ten or twenty years. ”

After Anthony finished speaking, he panicked like a frightened rabbit and tore open a spatial crack, plunged into it and disappeared.

"This senior brother is really ......" Rebecca froze for a while, she never expected that the dignified Fire Demon Hand would use such a scoundrel method to prevent her from going to the imperial capital.

"Hey, don't be angry with me~" Coughlon let out a miserable cry in an exaggerated tone, but his eyes clearly flashed with a snicker.

......

"Why did such a thing fall into the hands of a Flame Sanctuary?" Barnett said as he took a sip of rum and snorted it. Mechanical engineering drawings are not strange to anyone, but the meaning they represent when they are taken out of the hands of a magician is intriguing.

Having followed Kenobi for so long, Barnett is well aware of the attitude of magicians towards mechanical engineering, which can no longer be described as mere hostility, it is simply hatred.

It was the emergence and spread of mechanical engineering that greatly lowered the status of the originally high-ranking magician. Magical utensils, which were originally expensive and could only be used by the upper class, completely lost the market under the impact of high-quality and inexpensive mechanical engineering items, and became a luxury item that only the aristocracy was interested in.

The loss of the market is the loss of economic resources, which is intolerable for mages who need to spend a lot of resources on magical research. Originally, magicians only needed to devote themselves to magic research to improve their strength, and in their spare time, they could exchange a few crude magic items for a large amount of gold...... Gone are the days of mechanical engineering, which became popular across the continent.

Under the onslaught of mechanical engineering, in order to maintain the huge cost of magical research, mages had to lower their stature and focus more on how to make money—a great shame for the always arrogant mages.

Research funding gaps require a lot of effort to earn, resulting in a lack of time to make significant progress in research, resulting in a lack of means to obtain funding...... The magicians were saddened to find that they were caught in a great vicious circle.

When this vicious circle reached an extreme, under the covert leadership of the Continental Magicians Association, the magicians united to resist the secret war of mechanical engineering began.

Needless to say, to the surprise of all magicians, mechanical engineering did not die in this smokeless war, but continued to grow and become more indestructible.

The most direct result of this movement was the rise of the Duchy of Bavaria, a predominantly mechanical-civilized nation founded by the self-proclaimed Grand Duke Augusta of Bavaria, which dealt a powerful blow to the self-righteous magicians......

In the process of the collision between the magical civilization and the mechanical civilization, the powerhouses of the Sanctuary did not participate in it, but it is certain that the magic Sanctuary will definitely not have any good impression of mechanical engineering, and Barnett even maliciously guessed that if it were not for the Archduke of Bavaria who was also a powerhouse of the Sanctuary, those magical Sanctuary would not mind completely erasing the mechanical engineering civilization from the Iliad continent by force......

Now an incomparably precious mechanical engineering blueprint has come out of the hands of a magical sanctuary, what does this mean? Especially since Anthony is a disciple of the goddess of magic, Bi Xiu, the first person in the entire continent to magic. Does this mean that the Goddess of Magic has endorsed mechanical engineering?

This realization encouraged Barnett, especially when there was countless evidence that his teacher Kenobi was most likely the Archduke Augusta of Bavaria.

After Anthony gave Barnett a test, he disappeared from this flame furnace space, leaving Barnett with a helpless face. No one had ever forced Barnett to build anything,—— there was no Kenobi at the beginning, and the 100,000 parts were all made by Barnett voluntarily in order to get Kenobi's approval.

The Fire Hand did just that, unless Barnett wanted to be trapped in this flame space forever. Anthony's strength prevented Barnett from resisting at all, and he could only build what he wanted to do with the construction map.

The only thing Barnett could console himself with was that he recognized something on the chart, the heart of the defensive heart.

There is no doubt that this is another construction drawing from his teacher Kenobi, and the drawing is full of Kenobi's strong personal style, not forgetting that most of the 100,000 parts that Barnett once built belong to the Heart of Defense, so he can immediately tell that this is a drawing that belongs to the core part of the pile of parts.

This discovery made Barnett feel a burst of joy, and it has always been a huge regret in Barnett's heart that Kenobi did not teach Barnett the construction diagram of the core part of the heart of Defense due to various considerations. There's nothing maddening Barnett to know that he can build a near-all-powerful defensive weapon, but that he can't use it because of the lack of core components.

Unexpectedly, in the course of this adventure, he accidentally obtained the construction diagram of the core components of the Heart of Defense. Even as an unimaginative dwarven, Barnett couldn't help but fantasize about reimagining the defensive heart as a set.
