Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

The sharp blade on it means that this arm can be transformed, which should be able to greatly increase the combat effectiveness of this mechanical golem.

In addition to Andasu, Dorothy's chanting also attracted Alulu and Zoe to listen.

Leon concluded, "In short, the owner of this basement was a pure engineer and technology developer. Judging by the fact that he left behind a complete legacy of machinists, he was highly skilled, but very unsuccessful. Unhappy in Makena Island, he came to the Holy City, but he never found any opportunities to make money."

"You're obviously very capable, so why are you facing such difficulties?" Zoe was puzzled.

Li Ang smiled at her and said, "Sometimes bad luck, the environment, and personal character all play a role."

The Holy City is a prosperous magical area second only to the Thousand Towers City. The abilities of mechanics are not necessarily valued outside the island nation of Makena, because most things can be done with magic and the products of ancient ruins.

Mechanics rely on engineering artifacts to accomplish various tasks, consuming considerable effort and time in preparation. Furthermore, they are extremely rare, practically unseen in the adventuring world, as this profession relies on mechanical devices for combat, requiring significant investment.

Therefore, unless he truly achieved something great, no one in a place like the Holy City would recognize him. Even the leader of the front-line air cavalry regiment might not be recognized on the street, as everyone's attention was focused on those at the top of the world.

And because of Cormac's character, it is not easy for him to grab wealth and create something eye-catching.

This mechanical golem "Mechanic Demigod" in the basement is indeed shocking. According to the diary, he relied on this mechanical giant to quickly complete the project progress.

Leon flipped through the design drawings. For engineering construction, Cormac also specially manufactured an engineering module device for the armor. Now its two arms can be transformed and assembled into engineering equipment. As for the tracked trailer it can tow, no one knows where it is.

The activation of this golem also burned a lot of spirit cores, all of which were paid for by Cormac himself.

Dorothy rubbed her brows. "He was assassinated because he had the account book, which could be used as evidence to incriminate someone. Alas, to let someone get hold of such a valuable document is so heartless."

"I will tell the Knights of Order about this."

The murder of innocent engineers by Usain and "other bigwigs," and possibly even the foreman who fought for everyone's rights, could lead to a serious investigation into Usain.

After putting the diary away, Leon flipped through Cormac's design drawings and saw that the engineer was very proud of describing his work.

"It's a perfect combination of magical technology and magic engravings. I even built a pipeline that uses the magical core to power the engravings, truly integrating these two mechanical enhancement technologies.

"The heart of the Armored Demigod is a super engine that combines the technologies of these two, along with my own ingenuity. Given enough energy, it's enough to propel the giant airship to breakout speeds. I believe this is the right way to surpass the speed of traditional engines."

"As for the mass-produced battle golem, I already have half the design ideas."

"If this continues, maybe one day my blueprint for an engineering utopia will actually come true."

"Is what he said true?" Zoe asked with wide eyes.

Koneko's eyes lit up when he heard the speed of the airship.

Although she is not a driver like Andasu who devotes herself to the game wholeheartedly, she is also very interested in things related to speed and passion.

"It should be. This person doesn't seem like a hypocritical person who can even deceive himself." Li Ang said.

"Then if we take out the heart of this giant, wouldn't we have the engine for our airship?"

"That's what happened."

"Then there really is a treasure here," Zoe said with a smile.

Regarding the future families of everyone present, everyone agrees with this view.

Andasu raised her head. From the very beginning, she was not as focused when reading the inheritance of the mechanical engineer as when she was watching the mechanical golem. Leon guessed that it was because there were some difficult contents and she could not understand them for the time being, making it difficult for her to immerse herself in it.

"Can we transport all of this armored demigod?"

Andasu said, "Its mechanical structure should be difficult to replicate elsewhere. It should, it should work..."

Her voice was a little weak as she spoke, not because she was wrong, but because Li Ang could see that she felt it would cause trouble for him.

"I also advocate moving everything out of here. They will definitely facilitate your engineering studies and ultimately benefit our entire team."

Li Ang smiled at her and said, "I'll find a way."

The few of them walked around the basement a few more times and decided to return.

Li Ang still has things to do at the Qionglu Club in the afternoon.

After walking out of the basement, Dorothy leaned over to Leon and said, "This Cormac is no small figure. Although his personality is a bit easy to manipulate."

"Well, you were just thinking about that?"

"No, I was thinking about what he mentioned in his professional notebook."

Dorothy's expression was a little incredulous. "Remember when we went underground in Spark Harbor and entered the Linden family crypt?"

"remember."

"At that time, the Linden family recorded the offensive of the 'Barbarian Kaikrus'. I said at the time that he was the founding emperor of the Holy Sporil Empire."

"Yes, that's what happened."

Since the founding emperor and the rise of the current empire were actually unrelated, Li Ang didn't take it to heart. However, when the noble lady who often heard about this matter reminded him, he remembered it.

"There are two people in Kaikrus, they are brothers."

Dorothy said: "There are many speculations about these two people. We only know that they parted ways. And perhaps because this part of history was deliberately hidden by the former imperial historians, no one knows where he went."

The half-elf was unusually excited. "So there's a truth to this matter on the island nation of Makena! I only knew that Makena and the Empire had a connection. So, it seems that it was Carios Kekrus, the younger brother of the founding emperor, Jerus Kekrus, who founded the island nation of Makena. No wonder they're connected now."

Leon listened and nodded: "This is a very crucial piece of information. It can explain why the wealth of Spark Harbor flowed to the Makena Island Nation at that time."

He mused, "It seems the Star Flower Brigade will have to go there sooner or later."

Whether it was because of Zoe, who would most likely eventually be drawn into the Empire's affairs, or because of what Frost Star Soul Eden said, that there was a star soul dormant on the island of Makena, this trip was now a must.

Knowing this secret in advance, although there are no further details at present, in the long run, you may be able to discover something from an unexpected angle when you get there.

"Who said there are no further details? Huh?"

"Don't keep me in suspense."

"Kiss me and I'll tell you."

"it is good."

Dorothy's cheeks flushed red, and she took two steps back. "Wait, wait a little longer."

Canary, with her high attack and paper defense, offered her analysis: "Remember that mysterious merchant's list? The ancient magic core from Orin Island."

"You mean-"

"Yes, Olin Island is the birthplace of the empire. If it hadn't conquered it, it would never have had the claim to be the successor of the Sporil Empire."

"Where is Olin Island?"

"Well... It's next to my house, not far from the Giant's Garden. It's a medium-sized island, but it's been in decline for a long time."

Olin Island?

Li Ang added another goal in his mind.

205. Mutual Dependence

Dorothy meant that the genius described by Engineer Cormac, Karios Kekrus, who pioneered the engineering industry and the profession of mechanic as an alchemist, finally lived in seclusion on Olin Island.

The island nation of Makena has always known about the relationship between the founder and the Holy Sporil Empire. Perhaps it was because they respected the founder's wishes eight hundred years ago. However, eight hundred years later, the empire has declined, and they have never mentioned their relationship with the empire to the outside world.

In other words, if the Empire hadn't suddenly launched an attack a month ago, how many people in Newbis would know about the Holy Sporial Empire now? Most people would be more familiar with the island nation of Makaina.

However, although the top management of Makena knew that the descendants were unable to innovate after Kalios left, they did not know where this genius had gone.

Dorothy grasped some information and speculated on what she believed to be the truth of history from the imperial rumors she learned from the aristocratic social circles and documents in Spark Harbor, as well as the notes of Cormac, who was suspected to have been a high-ranking official in Makena.

She said with certainty, "The Kingdom of Olin, I think it's in the Kingdom of Olin. We really should go there. This founding figure, who is also a master alchemist and the originator of mechanics, must have a lot of good things."

"Why are you so sure?"

Leon speculated, "Even if the nameless ancient tower that the Isukai broke into and robbed belonged to Kalios, for someone of the Isukai's level to have been able to enter, the tower itself must have had very low defenses. Could it really be the place he spent his later years?"

"It was before the conquest of Olin that the two brothers went their separate ways," said Dorothy. "At least that's what I've heard."

"So you think he separated from his brother when he was young, founded the country of magical technology, and then returned to Orin Island within the Empire after leaving this place?"

"Yes."

"That's also a guess. Perhaps they were stationed on Orin Island before they launched their conquest? The tower was built during that time. He was still young, so the tower's defenses were weak."

"Eight hundred years have passed. Perhaps the tower's defenses have failed? Perhaps the two brothers will reconcile when they grow old..."

Although Dorothy had her own opinions, she became less and less confident as she spoke.

Li Ang said: "I'm just discussing other possibilities."

"Since we've received this unexpected news, let's find a chance to visit Olin Island. In that case, there's no need to come up with a convincing explanation. After all, this is all just guesswork given the lack of information."

The Isukai Society passed by the ancient tower, and the valuable things inside were definitely gone, but if they also knew that it belonged to the founder of Makena, then any information inside would be valuable, and it is very likely that they would obtain important information that the Isukai Society members were completely unaware of.

"The main thing is to find a career upgrade for your little wolf as a mechanic, right?" Dorothy said with a pout.

"If there is something useful for Andasu, that would certainly be a good thing."

He turned to look at the beast-eared girl who was flipping through Cormac's manuscript and said, "For now, Cormac's manuscript is enough for her to digest for a while. I'm more concerned about the power source of our airship."

"Isn't the heart of the giant in the basement enough?"

"Maybe it's enough, but how to use it, how to maintain it, and whether it can achieve better results are all within the scope of consideration. If you don't handle it well, it may even be destroyed. It's better to master some relevant knowledge yourself."

Since there was one more place to go, Leon asked Dorothy about her knowledge of Olin Island.

"Hmm... I don't really know what its current situation is."

The half-elf said that the prosperity of the Giant's Garden had affected many nearby islands, and Olin Island was a place that declined even earlier. She believed that there would be no obstacles to exploring there.

"Lords usually take good care of their places of rise, guarding them as holy places, or using them as second capitals, or even building their own capitals there."

Dorothy was quite knowledgeable when it came to these matters.

“However, even the Cretaceous Fortress, which is considered the absolute core, is sparsely populated and in a dilapidated state. I’m afraid that this rising place has no intention of taking care of it.

"As for that underground organization, I guess the Empire's troubles sparked their associations. They wanted to go to the place where the Empire rose to power to see if there was any profit to be made, and that's how they found the ancient tower."

Leon and his group were already halfway back home while chatting with Dorothy about the history of the first emperor of the empire and explaining it to Zoe and Alulu in simple terms.

He let the girls go back on their own, and he went to meet Alafia nearby and prepared to go to the Dome Hearth Society's meeting place.

"He's going to be so affectionate with the eldest lady again," said Dorothy sourly.

"Your mission is to go back and let the Demon Flower absorb the sacred energy and see if any new variants appear."

"I know, I know."

When Leon found Ella Fia, she wanted to ask for lunch together, but she didn't expect Leon to ask her to use the dimensional gap space to help move the things he had just obtained.

"That's all you've done in one morning?"

The blond boy hesitated to speak.

Li Ang felt that the curse of "trash" was on the tip of his tongue, but he finally took it back.

As she stepped on the flying sword, she whispered in Leon's ear, "Although you have mastered your own unique abilities, you are only at level 9 after all. You should learn how to tear open dimensions and construct domains as soon as possible. Otherwise, sometimes you will be no different from small fry."

Li Ang could only listen to her with his head down, thinking that she was really becoming more and more like a mother.

"I should have some idea," he promised.

After obtaining the first chapter of the Material Magic Codex, Leon gradually began to understand the experience of other professions using magic to interfere with matter. These days, his understanding of the material dimension has become more and more profound.

On this basis, he was gradually able to distinguish the obvious differences between the material dimension and the magical dimension. Although the path of a sorcerer was very strange compared to others, he was also certain that recognizing this obvious difference was a prerequisite for tearing open the dimensional barrier.

It's just that these days, his thoughts have been occupied more by the devil's spiritual curse, and he can't concentrate on studying this aspect.

When seeing the materials of the Soul-Eating Spider and the White Flower Spider Bee, Ella Fiya raised her eyebrows. Even she felt that it was difficult to deal with such dangerous monsters breeding inside the Holy City.

"Luckily you found and eliminated them. If they had really harmed innocent people, someone else in the Knights of Order would have suffered. Now it's Licia who is stationed in the Holy City, and she has to write the most troublesome report."

As she spoke, Aifei couldn't help but smile.

"Speaking of which."

Li Ang suddenly thought, since the leader of the Order Investigation Team had to write a report if innocent people were harmed, then how did the alchemist who tamed the Soul-Eating Spider and created the White Flower Spider Bee escape punishment around eight years ago?

Ellaphia answered this question, "Although I wasn't involved in the core affairs of the Holy City at the time, I did hear that it was because the dissolute head of the Chaain family died that the entire Order Investigation Team was so overwhelmed with work that they might have neglected it."

From this perspective, there are actually quite a few coincidences involved, from the accidental death of the head of the Cha'ain family, to the magical disturbance that can affect the spirits in the Holy City, to the white spider bee.

While chatting, they arrived at Cormac's engineering house. When they saw the mechanical colossus, Aifei frowned and looked at Leon for a long time.

"How on earth did you find this place? If it weren't you, I would suspect you of stealing the files of the Order Air Cavalry."

She tore the dimensional rift wider with all her strength, tied up the armored giant with metal chains, and pulled it into the dimensional crack.

“I rely on discovering special traces of spirituality.”

Once again, the rarity of the Spellcaster plays a role in finding excuses.
