Star Forge Titan

Passing through the door that had not yet completely closed, Alvin turned his head and took another look at the three giant soldiers that were so eye-catching that his heart was filled with violent emotions.

But on the surface, he was calmer than anyone else, even looked a little cold, and secretly did not communicate with the system in his body, because now was really not the right time.

At the same time, Christina also noticed everyone's performance, but she did not say anything about it. She just floated up again and began to lead the students to another room.

Unlike the astonishing size of the Titan hangar, the room the students arrived at later was much more ordinary. It was furnished with plain-looking sofas and coffee tables, and looked more like an ordinary reception room.

Probably the living area of ​​this secret research area.

There was only one person waiting in the room, a muscular man with a lot of bandages wrapped around his body, and a very bright smile on his face.

The smile was so exaggeratedly bright that Alvin even felt that this guy was using his two rows of overly white teeth to reflect the light and dazzle other people's eyes.

"Oh, are all the young people here? And the director is leading the way himself." Seeing everyone coming, the sturdy middle-aged man stood up and saluted with a smile.

"Okay, Armstrong, sit down. You are a wounded soldier now." Christina shook her head helplessly and then introduced him to the students.

"This is Mr. Armstrong, the temporary pilot for the Giant God project. From now on, he will be responsible for your driving training."

"Oh, kids, let's get along well in the days to come." Armstrong laughed and said:

"He seems to be someone who is easy to communicate with." Catherine whispered to Diana.

"Maybe." Ivan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his eyes.

Well, another acquaintance.

Chapter 104 Driving Instructor

Alvin was actually not unfamiliar with the muscular man in front of him with a mustache and reddish-brown hair.

Although strictly speaking, this should be the first time the two met, he had dealt with this guy more than once or twice in his previous life's game.

Armstrong Krasawa, using a more game-like introduction, is one of the important quest characters that must be encountered in order to change jobs to a Giant Rider.

Although he wasn't a Rank Five, he mastered the various techniques required to skillfully pilot a Colossus. Even if he couldn't fully unleash the Colossus's power like a Colossus pilot, he was still a seasoned and excellent instructor.

Of course, Alvin and other friends who choose the Giant Driver sequence route are usually accustomed to calling this "driving school coach".

Well, in a sense, this nickname is not wrong. His job is essentially a driving school instructor, but the course he teaches is not about driving small cars, but about how to control the giant God Warrior that is as tall as a mountain.

"Young knights, welcome to the Whale Fall Ruins Research Base. On the way here, did the Director tell you why this place is called the Whale Fall Ruins? Actually, it comes from the mythical legend of the gods descending upon ancient Palladio on an ancient iron whale..."

Mr. Armstrong was obviously a very outgoing person. As soon as they met, he introduced to the students the origin of the name "Whale Fall Ruins".

"Don't mislead the students. That's just a guess, almost a rumor. We haven't found any key evidence. Also, I've said many times that 'driver' and 'knight' are not the same noun." Christina looked a little troubled.

"Ahahahaha." Armstrong laughed heartily, and the two small mustaches on his lips shook up and down as if he was tap dancing. By the way, his eyebrows were also "dancing" at this moment.

"But I think that's a truly romantic statement! A brave warrior riding the strongest warhorse isn't worthy of the title 'Knight'? He's a giant knight, oh no, a Titan Knight."

What the hell is that name for a "Giant Knight"? Ivan couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Sure enough, this guy is now a fanatic fan of chivalry.

However, at least compared to more than ten years later, he is no longer wearing the ancestral antique armor that makes a clanging sound and is covered with various traces of battlefields.

I remember that there was a large piece of the breastplate of the armor torn off. It was said that it was the trace left by Armstrong's ancestor who was accidentally involved in a battle between fifth-level perfectors during a war but survived. It is rarer and more precious than any badge.

"Forget it, whatever. Now even the technicians in the R&D department have started to call the pilot of the Giant God a Knight. No matter how you think about it, it's all your fault!" Christina looked helpless as if she couldn't do anything about him.

Even though she is older than the other person, she is still not good at communicating with this kind of strange guy.

"Ahahahaha, that's really an honor for me." Although one arm was bandaged in front of his chest, Armstrong still put his remaining hand on his waist and laughed heartily.

The students looked at each other in bewilderment, feeling that the instructor they would be spending so much time with seemed a bit of an oddball. But then again, within this vast complex of the Truth Rock underground headquarters, the proportion of oddballs seemed unexpectedly high.

"Okay, that's enough chit-chat for now. Everyone, let Armstrong 'Knight' lead you to familiarize yourself with this research and development base." After saying that, Christina paused and suddenly revealed a mischievous smile that matched her twelve-year-old appearance.

"By the way, would you like to experience this machine specifically used to train Giant God pilots?"

The director, whose appearance remained that of a child due to an experimental accident, now looked like a little fox that had just dragged an old hen away from a farmer's house. He was extremely cunning.

"..." Alvin covered his face. Christina's words suddenly reminded him of some unpleasant memories.

But then I thought, with my current physical condition, I will most likely be fine. Then, wouldn't I be able to just watch the show without getting involved?

Great!

So he immediately managed his facial expression properly, pretending to be as curious and puzzled as everyone else.

"Director, isn't it a bit too fast?" Armstrong raised his hand and touched the back of his head, and asked hesitantly.

"Our time is very precious, so of course we should start training as soon as possible." Christina rolled her eyes at him and said loudly in a bad mood:

Then, the young-looking director floated into the air again and glanced down at the students.

"Or is it that among the candidates I carefully selected there are cowards?"

Things had come to this point, and naturally none of the young people who could not stand the provocation backed down. Only Ivan shook his head secretly, wondering whether he should quietly remind Diana and Catherine.

As for my friend Rimoureux de Maupassant, who is he? I don't recognize his name.

As the director, Christina obviously had a lot of work to do, so after handing the students over to Armstrong, she said goodbye to everyone.

Looking at the small figure floating in the air at the end of the corridor and waving at him, Ivan, who understood what the so-called "special training equipment for giant god pilots" was, couldn't help but show a very complicated expression.

It seems that although this director has the appearance of an innocent and cute twelve-year-old girl, she is definitely dark inside!

Just like a little devil...

Under Armstrong's guidance, the trainees quickly passed through the complex corridors and arrived at the special training room for Giant God pilots.

Looking at the large piece of paper on the door that tightly covered the word "Pilot" in "Pilot Training Room", everyone couldn't help but glance at Armstrong, the team leader, because the word "Knight" was written in a very conspicuous large brush on the paper.

As for who is the instigator, it is self-evident.

Armstrong ignored this, whistled, opened the door of the training room and motioned everyone to follow.

The room behind the door is spacious, but the large machine placed in the middle takes up nearly one-third of the interior space.

It was a spherical cabin fixed under a steel cantilever, with a square door on the surface for people to enter and exit. It looked like a simulation of something.

Ah, although the location is different, it is indeed this thing...

The moment he saw this machine, Alvin subconsciously paused for a moment, and nicknames such as "Hell's Spinner" and "Death Yo-Yo" quickly emerged in his mind.

Those are the nicknames given by the giant drivers to this training machine.

Considering that generally there are only wrong names, there are no wrong nicknames.

This shows how insane this machine is to the trainees.

"Children, who's going first? I suggest you start with 'baby mode', oh, the first level."

Although Armstrong seemed a little hesitant, he still chose to follow Director Christina's order and take the trainees to experience this special training machine.

"Sir, please don't call us kids. The oldest person here is already twenty-four years old." Rimore said with a frown. By the way, he was the twenty-four-year-old.

At the same time, Mr., who was wearing his shirt backwards, couldn't help but glance at Ivan, the tallest man in the crowd.

"Don't look at me. I'm sixteen. Although it's a bit embarrassing to be called a child, it doesn't seem too much." Alvin shrugged and said nonchalantly.

Ok?

Now everyone, including Armstrong, looked at him in surprise.

You, sixteen? Sixteen at this height?

? ? ? ? ?

Hey! What do you mean?

Alvin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw this scene.

"Ahem, anyway, gentlemen and ladies, who wants to try this machine?" Armstrong coughed lightly and brought the subject back.

"Me!" Catherine took a step forward without hesitation, and her diamond-shaped golden twin ponytails swayed up and down excitedly.

"Your Highness..." When Armstrong saw that it was Catherine who stepped forward, his expression immediately became more hesitant.

Ivan also looked like he wanted to say something, but it seemed like it was too late for him.

"There's no His Majesty here. There's only Catherine Carolingian, a student of the first class of the Mage Program!" The blond-haired Duchess said seriously.

Infected by her tone, Armstrong seemed to be on fire.

"Ohhhhhhh, I, Armstrong Krasawa, have fully felt your highness's bravery! I will prepare the training machine for you!!!"

"Thank you for your understanding!" Catherine nodded seriously, then walked into the machine with her back straight.

But what she didn't see was that behind her, Ivan raised his hand and pressed his forehead, with a sympathetic expression on his face.

After Catherine was in place, Armstrong led the trainees to a transparent shelter made of reinforced crystal, and then he started the machine specially used to train Giant God pilots.

The steel cantilever with one end fixed to the ground slowly rose, and soon the spherical cabin was lifted into the air.

"Your Highness, please complete the locking of the safety device." Armstrong did not start the machine immediately. Instead, he picked up the wired communicator on the operating panel and said to Catherine, who was already inside the spherical pod:

"Okay, I have completed the above operations." The calm voice of the blonde Duchess with a Diamond initial came from the wired communicator that looked a bit like a retro telephone.

"Well, I'll start the machine right away, and you can also operate the specific training levels. Level one is the lowest intensity, and the levels will increase gradually as the numbers increase. Please be sure to do it within your ability." Armstrong emphasized again.

"I understand." Although she said that, the proud Catherine did not hesitate to adjust the level to the middle.

As a superhuman being who exercises moderately every day, she is quite confident in her physical fitness.

Then, the spherical cabin suspended by the cantilever began to move randomly and disorderly in the front, back, left, right, up and down directions at high speed, and the speed was getting faster and faster!

Ah, at least it's third gear, that drill head is finished...

As soon as Alvin saw the speed, he knew that Catherine definitely didn't listen to what Armstrong had just said, and an expression of pained resentment immediately appeared on his face.

"Hey? Eh? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" At the same time, Catherine's voice in the communicator was first puzzled, and then immediately turned into a series of screams.

The Duchess's cries were like the ups and downs of a roller coaster ride. Even Diana, who usually had a blank expression, couldn't help but have her eyelids twitching and her eyebrows rising and falling as she cried.

Thirty seconds later, when Armstrong came to his senses and urgently turned off the training machine, the only sounds in the communicator were bursts of suppressed retching.

The hatch opened, and Catherine, who had just walked into the machine with her back straight and proud, now walked out with trembling legs, like a frozen old lady.

Then, the Duchess suddenly raised her hands and covered her mouth tightly, obviously not wanting to spit directly on the ground in an extremely inappropriate manner.

Alvin shook his head, picked up the iron bucket that had been prepared for the trainees and walked forward.

The moment she saw the bucket, tears of emotion welled up in Catherine's eyes. Then, she hugged the bucket and vomited violently.

The black-haired boy next to her shook his head and was about to say something when he saw a pendant inlaid with a gorgeous sapphire slipping out of the Duchess's collar due to gravity.

The next second, Alvin's eyes immediately became sharp.

Chapter 105: Computer Training

Flawless Gem - Sea of ​​Miracles, there is no other possibility, and Alvin cannot be wrong.

But he couldn't understand why this flawless gem appeared on Catherine, Duchess of Loire.

After all, in the original plot, the public first saw this gem appear on the imperial crown worn by Emperor Lind. That crown itself was a high-level magical device, though its sole function was to serve as a ritual foundation, carrying the unimaginably powerful magic within the flawless gem, the Sea of ​​Miracles.

Could it be that the Carolingian royal family still had no way to utilize the flawless gem? So they only regarded it as a precious magical gem?

Impossible, there is more than one flawless gem in the world. People have long known how precious gems of this level are and their inestimable value.

That pendant...

Ivan's thoughts were working fast. Although Catherine quickly put away the gem pendant hanging on a thin silver chain around her neck after realizing this, he still saw it clearly.

Well, it’s not just the necklace, in short, it’s very clear.

The pendant was gleaming with suppressed magical light. If one didn't look at it directly, it might be difficult to detect through a layer of clothing. It was obviously a magical equipment.

In this case, perhaps it was simply because Emperor Conrad loved his sister that he set this precious flawless gem in a pendant that could partially unleash its power and gave it to Catherine as a talisman.

Is that salty fish actually a sister-con? I can’t tell…

Alvin collected his thoughts and appeared unmoved. With his back to the others, he was the only one who accidentally saw the pendant at that moment, so the incident did not cause much of a stir, and soon it was as if nothing had happened.

Catherine looked up at Ivan without saying anything.

Although the existence of the gem should not be exposed to outsiders, this is just an accident after all, and the other party may not be able to immediately recognize a treasure of the flawless gem's level.

Besides, she really couldn't think clearly now. The terrible machine made the Duchess with her blonde drill-head feel as if her brain, which was protected by her skull, was about to be shaken.

After vomiting profusely into the bucket, Catherine finally staggered to her feet, nearly falling once before being caught by Ivan, who was standing beside her. The black-haired boy shook his head and handed the Duchess to Diana's care.
