Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 749 Engineering Consultant——Grim Bloxson
After receiving several mysterious visitors at the Anvil of Vaal, a guest came to the Dragon Palace, a dwarf who had not appeared in the Dragonspine Mountains for the first time in thousands of years.

Bloxen held up his monocle, not caring about the surprised looks of the guards and maids, and looked curiously at this palace, which meant a lot to the dwarves.

The war of revenge was initiated by Caledor, but it was later discovered that the culprit was Malekith the Oathbreaker. Caledor II's crimes are undeniable, and so is the Witch King.

But looking at it from another perspective, Caledor's two Phoenix Kings personally defeated Malekith, which made the dwarves' attitude towards him a bit complicated, coupled with Imrik's softening attitude since he succeeded to the throne.

The reputation of the Dragon Kingdom has gone from mostly disparaging to mixed in the Mountain Kingdom.

"The palace should have been renovated recently. This dragon seems to be Minas Nir. This is just..." Bloxson looked at the dragon relief on the stone pillars without politeness. The dragon can be remembered by the palace in an artistic way. , most of them are very famous.

Caledo also published a special book, introducing each work with pictures and texts. It happened that the dwarf had read the Kislevian translation.

Why not Elvish? Only people with cramped brains would think of learning a language with various changes and intonations. Who cares what the tone of the pointed ears sounds like.

When he wanted to touch the dragon claw on the gray-white stone pillar, the attendant reminded him,

"Bloxon, this is the Dragon Palace that symbolizes the face of Caledor. I hope you will behave in a correct manner."

Bloxon pouted and took his hand back, his pointed ears still as stingy as ever.

After some reminders, the dwarf corrected his attitude and prepared to meet the prince of Caledor with the attitude of the son of the president of the Riptide Pass Engineers Guild.

Although he is disdainful of pointed ears, he still needs to look at people's expressions. Only by being able to fight will he be respected. In this majestic hall, no matter how outstanding a person is, he needs to weigh the price of offending the Dragon Palace. .

The palace was very large, Broxon estimated that it was at least [-] square meters, a huge building complex that did not match the number of people in the Caledor family.

But then again, the dwarves also knew that the original intention of building this palace was not to the standards of elves, but to the size of a dragon.

According to the records of the dwarf ambassadors who visited Ulthuan in the Golden Age, the largest number of people in Caledor's court were not elves, but dragons.

However, as the dragon fell asleep, this once glorious palace became particularly deserted.

In addition, the court officials were all preparing for the Grand Council to go out. Except for a few maids occasionally encountered, it was like a dead city.

After walking through the suspended stone stairs connecting the palaces at both ends, Bloxson vaguely heard the clang of swords clashing on the left side, and turned his head to take a look.

I found two elves fighting with long swords in the open space a hundred meters below.

Although he didn't know the identity of the two people, Bloxon still vaguely guessed that the young elf should be the prince of Caledor, a blood descendant with a strong claim to both countries.

"A small family means trouble."

He mumbled something vaguely in Dwarven language and continued to follow the attendant's footsteps. He was not worried that Imric would make any excessive demands.

As Prince Caledor, it was impossible to seek benefits from the son of a president. Not only was it degrading to one's dignity, but it also seemed inefficient.

The attendant stopped at the door of the reception room and knocked on the wooden door.
"Your Highness, Grim Bloxon has arrived."

"Fine, let him in."

Bloxen opened the door and found a pointed-eared man crawling on the desk, writing something with a quill.

After looking at it for a moment, he seemed a little confused.

"Are you Imrik, Prince of Caledor?"

Stopping compiling a dragon science textbook, Imrik put down his quill and looked at the dwarf with interest, "Don't I look like him?"

Confused, Bloxson rolled his head and said, "It's not like the Prince of Caledor I imagined, who looks at people with his asshole. You barely look like a human being."

Regarding the inherent impression of dwarves, Imrik knew what was going on and did not blame him too much. It was recognized that Caledo had a bad reputation.

Moreover, if Caledo's reputation is not bad, then he is still Long Aotian.

"Find a place to sit. There is Ritideguan beer in the cabinet. I'll look for the documents Bronte handed over..."

Bloxon rummaged through the wine cabinet without hesitation, took out the beer from his hometown and poured it full with a wooden bucket. He sat down on the sofa without feeling embarrassed, and sat down safely with his feet dangling in the air.

After rummaging through the filing cabinet for a moment, Imrik took out the relevant instructions previously submitted by the head of the military factory. While flipping through them, he also said to Bloxon.

"You did a good job at Qingyan Port. The improvement of steam engine power is crucial to the improvement of productivity. I should give you a reward."

"As long as this award doesn't send me to the dragon's mouth, I can say anything." Bloxson made a joke and soon laughed alone.

The Qingyan Port Engineers Guild was formed by a group of whimsical designers. This organization, which was established only 30 years ago, is very dynamic and makes dwarf engineers feel like a fish in water.

For many designs that are impossible to establish in Jiliuguan, please submit an application to the city hall. After being reviewed by a dedicated person and deemed to be of research value, funds will be released soon.

The patent office that matches the patent office further stimulates the research desire of young engineers. If you have technology, you don’t need to hide it. You can hand it over to the palace and arrange a suitable buyer. Every product will receive patent fees.

The patent for the new steam engine was in Bloxon's hands. Relying on the documents issued by the Patent Office and the authorization contracts given to the arsenal and the engineering department, the dwarf was already expecting to receive a huge sum of money.

At that time, gold coins from the New World, the Empire, and Kislev will be continuously sent to his account.

And Imrik is obviously a man who can joke, "You want to be eaten by the dragon. The dragon also thinks that the dwarf's meat is too hard and difficult to digest."

"Then I have to eat more vegetables to prevent the stone bread from choking Grandpa Dragon's throat."

The two smiled a little, and it seemed that they had a good impression of each other when they met for the first time.

Imric put down the documents and started talking about business.
"As for the air fortress idea you mentioned in the military factory, I am very interested in it and think it is very feasible."

Broxson shrugged. This matter had been put on hold after Torek became obsessed with forging rune anvils, and even with Caledor's support, it was very difficult to build an airship.

Manufacturing an airship requires a complete equipment production chain, as well as professionals specializing in various disciplines, including aerodynamics, heat calculation, vector control and many other aspects.

It happens that most of Qingyan Port's engineers specialize in practical applications. They are constantly improving on the existing theoretical basis and lack the ability to conduct cross-stage research. Moreover, because of the development time, some precision parts are difficult to process.

Bloxson pointed out the difficulty, "Airships require a large number of personnel and equipment to be researched and manufactured together, and the only place that can provide the conditions is Riptide Pass."

"As for how to provide equipment, this is my business. You only need to design an airship that meets my requirements and can be put into assembly line production."

Bloxen narrowed his eyes, and it was exactly as expected. Imric had a close relationship with Thorgreen.

But since the Supreme King is willing to put in the effort to convince Ritide Pass, what can I, a little engineer, do.

"Yes, but the dwarves must own part of the airships produced, and I am also very interested in the newly established steam tank project and hope to participate."

"No problem, you will serve as my engineering consultant to guide the production plan of Qingyan Port. The research results obtained during this period will be shared with the Dragon Palace."
