"Experiment?"

Brandon turned his face in disbelief, his head tilted on his shoulder, and his red pupils were full of doubts:

"I thought Lorent asked me to let the Dean out to... Wait, what kind of experiment is it?"

"This... Subordinates don't understand very well."

Edward, who was indifferent, nodded slightly and replied with an expressionless face, "only heard from several alchemists, it should be a design that can stably release the power of emptiness."

"Very special?"

"It should be so, otherwise they wouldn't be so excited."

"..." the prince was silent for a moment, put his right hand on his chin and pouted slightly: "will that... Affect our departure time?"

"According to them, No." Edward remained calm as usual: "the experiment will end in the early morning and will not delay your Highness's trip - it will be declared over whether it fails or succeeds. That's what Lauren Turin said."

"Alas... I'm going to use this as an excuse to stay in the melting pot town for another two days." the red haired Prince dragged a long voice in disappointment and patted his white cheek with his hands:

"But now that we're here, we can't afford to be picky. It's hard for you, guard!"

"It's a pleasure to serve you, your highness!"

Edward bowed slightly and was ready to turn away.

"Wait!"

Edward, who was shouted by the voice behind him, frowned slightly. After turning back, he immediately returned to his original state and bowed his head respectfully: "Your Highness, what else do you want to command?"

"Nothing, just suddenly remembered that my guards were temporarily seconded from the imperial Corps stationed in eboden." Brandon smiled like a curious big boy: "are you also a saxophone?"

"No, your highness." Edward bowed his head. "I'm from eboden, but I'm also a people of the Empire, your people."

"Oh, I see. I'm sorry... But I don't mean anything else. You can leave."

"Yes, your highness!"

Watching the "guard" leaving with the remaining light from the corner of his eyes, Brandon's smile became worse, but the warm sunshine gradually became cold.

The Legion of the Legion joined the Imperial Army, and infiltrated into his own guard, a leaky resume - my dear uncle rink, uncle infonte, did you really need to look at me in order to spy on me?

If so, it's really considerate and grateful. I'm going to cry.

…………………………………………

At the moment, the underground laboratory of furnace college is dead silent. All eyes are staring at the forging hammer "ground shaker" in the center of the laboratory, waiting for it to complete the final debugging work.

Isaac squatted in front of the huge "ground shaker" and kept biting the nail cap of his right thumb. His eyes twitched nervously and kept repeating the expansion and contraction movement:

"With the help of the original design principle of bright silver, through the construction of two layers of superposition, let the void force itself move rather than out of a static state, and then use the high-intensity tempering and seal cutting as the carrier... Yes, it will succeed, it will succeed. I am a genius, I am indeed a genius... I... I won't fail in such a pediatric place!"

Reluctantly glanced at Isaac, who had begun to be hysterical. Loren regretfully shook his head and turned his eyes to the Dean: "can we start?"

"Already!" the dean's voice was equally excited: "today, the furnace college will make history!"

"All staff are ready. Has the preheating and commissioning been completed?"

"It's done!" the apprentice, who was already hungry and obviously weak, replied at the top of his voice: "the experimental code is' bright silver 'and the' ground shaker 'is ready!"

"What are you waiting for?! after many years, let's listen to the roar of the earth shaker again!"

"Boom --!"

As soon as the voice fell, Lauren standing on the side only had time to hear a huge noise, like being hit by a giant hammer!

The next second, the roar of gear rotation continued, all the fireplaces on the four walls of the basement were lit at the same time, and the leaping flame rose like a pillar of fire. The originally hot underground laboratory suddenly fell into a hot hell!

This is no longer hot, but even the surrounding sight has become blurred. When you raise your hand, you can see that the water vapor on the skin of the body is slowly evaporating and turning into a white transparent mist!

In the distorted and blurred vision, the "ground shaker" in the center gradually turned into a black ferocious monster, roaring and raising its heavy arms.

"Lord Loren Turin, pray," said the Dean suddenly. "At this time, only the Holy Cross can protect us."

"Pray? No... the Holy Cross will not bless us." staring at the roaring "ground shaker", Loren wiped the sweat from the corners of his mouth and paid unprecedented attention:

"The people who are working miracles are ourselves!"

"You're right." the elderly Dean suddenly smiled at the corners of his mouth, and the next second it turned into a roar:

"Quarter strength, first round of exercise, start --!"

As if he had heard the command of the "master", the dark steel monster made a series of dull low roars. It made a sound every minute when pulling the iron chain and rotating the gear - it was slowly accumulating its strength.

"Boom --!!!"

At the moment of the loud noise, Loren saw that the front end of the black arm turned golden red!

At the next moment, the wind like a wall came, and the roaring sound brought up the "white fog" in the air and swept around!

Several apprentices had fallen under the workbench. The Dean, who did not change his face, roared and ordered again: "half the strength, the second round of exercise, start --!"

"Boom --!!!"

This time, without the white fog, the black haired wizard could see clearly - it was not the golden red under the high temperature, but the flame spewing around at the moment when the forging hammer fell!

"Three quarters of the strength, the third round of exercise, start --!"

Loud noise accompanied by harsh roar, the whole underground laboratory began to tremble; The surrounding fireplace had been completely extinguished and the laboratory was almost dark.

"Full strength, the third round of tempering, start --!"

No one heard the noise this time - the moment the flame lit up, the whole basement began to tremble violently, as if it were the cry of the earth.

The earth shaker deserves his reputation!

"Five quarters of the strength, the fourth round of tempering..."

"Don't listen to him!"

Isaac Grantham, who was just nervous, suddenly shouted with a cry in his voice and a incoherent Scream: "double the intensity directly, do you hear me?! double the intensity, make a final decision -!"

"What are you talking about?!" o'nei alchemist quickly stopped him: "the ground shaker is twice as strong? That will make the whole Hill Collapse!"

"No, he's right! Otherwise we'll waste this opportunity if we can't reach the intensity!"

"Dean?!" o'nei stared at him incredulously with wide eyes: "if it fails, the whole furnace college will collapse!"

The dean of furnace college just looked at him and raised his right hand without hesitation:

"Twice the strength, the fourth... The last round of exercise

Start -!!! "

………………………………

There was a dead silence.

Pushing aside the fallen workbench, the dark haired wizard struggled to get up and looked around in the dark. The original underground laboratory had become ruins in the loud noise.

Except for the black steel monster.

Feeling the faint aftershocks around, Loren carefully approached the ground shaker in the center of the ruins - even in that vibration, the huge forging hammer was still undamaged.

Groping in the dark, Loren came up to it and pushed the top cover away. In the middle of the groove, a silver dagger was lying there quietly.

The short sword that has just been forged and has not cooled down is a hot piece of iron. Lorence, who holds the handle of the sword, doesn't care about the hot pain on her palm, raises the short sword:

"May... Emptiness be with you!"

In an instant, a gray blue light lit up the whole underground laboratory.

It hasn't dissipated for a long time.
