Chapter 156: Mage Bryan’s Accession
Chapter 152 – Mage Brian’s Addition
After reading those materials, Owen fell into deep thought.
Although the other party did experiments with very cruel means, but so what, and he has nothing to do with it, Owen is not a saintly mother, have to do justice for the otherworldly people, besides those experimental body is not Brian’s own capture, but the imperial border army to provide, said that it is a death row inmates, as for whether it is true or not, who will care.
Putting all this aside, Brian does call himself a genius.
In fact, there is no mage who is not a genius, otherwise he would not be able to become a mage, this is a profession with a very high threshold, and even higher after the threshold, there is simply no upper limit to the requirement of intelligence.
Owen thought that Brian’s genius lay in his thought process, which was very much in line with the fantasies of a modern middle-aged otaku, so he couldn’t help but discuss it with him.
Brian had considerable achievements in human body modification, puppet machinery and alchemy, and it just so happened that Owen was also involved in all of these aspects.
Human body transformation Owen more than once, although it is not a combination of puppet and human body, but he has also thought about similar programs, after all, the Winter Soldier’s mechanical arm, as well as RoboCop, in fact, are quite cool, inevitably have some fantasies.
Only this kind of transformation is too cruel, so it only stays in Owen’s thoughts, but never practiced.
As for the puppet and alchemy, with the career bonus of puppeteer and alchemist, Owen can be said to be standing directly on the shoulders of giants, and a casual sentence can make Brian think for half a day.
After all, the puppet master in the puppet aspect has gone to the extreme of the mortal world, not to mention that the alchemist from Heroes Invincible is almost standing on the threshold of god-making, even if Owen has not eaten through it at all, it’s not something that Brian can compare to.
Originally, he was only careful to cope with the curiosity of this lord, but as the topic deepened, Brian immediately discarded the superfluous thoughts and concentrated on the discussion with Owen, because he found that the other party also had a deep understanding in his own field of study, and many of his thoughts were unique, and even he couldn’t fully understand them for a while.
On the spur of the moment, Owen even got his own puppet Shinobi, dismantling the shell to reveal a structure like human musculoskeletal structure.
Brian’s eyes were glowing as he looked at it, and he picked up the crystal ball to activate a certain function, and immediately the internal structure of the Endurance Kill became larger and more detailed after the projection of the crystal ball, and it could also be adjusted in angle.
“I had a similar design, no, I should say that this is my original design idea.” Brian said with some excitement and regret.
Mages were a group of people who pursued perfection, and Brian’s initial attempt to replace the limbs with puppets was naturally modeled after the human body structure, as such a construction had the best adaptability and was the most convenient to use.
Unfortunately, this kind of structure is too high for the requirements of the maker, the cost remains high, resulting in Bryan had to use even more simple and unattractive gear lever structure, has been very regrettable, did not expect to be able to see such a perfect imitation of the human body structure here, and immediately inspired even higher enthusiasm for research.
“By signing this contract, you will receive all kinds of support from the Hydra family, whether it be resources or technology.” Owen knocked on the table, and on the side, Amelia smiled as she pulled out a calf-thick scroll and handed it to the excited Brian.
Unfolding the scroll, the white paper was filled with fine writing, and just after reading a few lines, Brian sucked in a breath of cold air.
If not for the fact that he didn’t feel the aura of hell on it, Brian would have even thought that this contract came from the devil’s hand.
In fact, this contract was drafted by Maya, who had read books on business management for several years, and was very interested in all kinds of business-related contracts and laws, and thought it was more rigorous than the legendary Devil’s Contract, and for this reason, she also asked for a lot of legal books from Owen here.
The result was that the contract she drafted could not be said to be flawless, but as far as mortals were concerned, even if there were loopholes, they could not be utilized. After spending a whole half a day to read it twice, Brian froze and didn’t find a single loophole, and he knew very well what that meant.
Once he signed the contract, he would be restricted by the contract to death, and even he doubted that even if the devil signed the contract, he would have to obediently become a laborer.
But Brian did not hesitate to sign his name, letting the contract extract his breath into a seal.
Brian is not stupid, he knows that after losing the support of the Imperial Border Army, there will be no one who dares to continue to support his experiments, after all, dare to say than the Imperial Border Army rich people are not many, otherwise he would not have run to the remote Northland.
Another reason is that in the conversation just now he found out that this lord is actually a peer, and highly overlap in the related research field, in addition to the foundation is a little worse, in the depth of even better.
Coupled with the fact that the other party had gone through a large amount of his research materials, there was no need to take more detours, and it would only take a year or two to reach his current research progress.
That is to say Brian simply didn’t have much capital to bargain with the other party, coupled with the technology promised by the other party, as long as the contract wasn’t too harsh, he was still willing to sign it.
“Mage Brian, please follow me.” After seeing the contract smoothly signed, Owen got up and came to the fireplace, pinched up a bit of Flyway powder and said to Brian.
“This is a portal?!” Brian is not that he has never seen a portal, but which portal is not a high profile one, this is the first time he has seen such a grounded portal, so he did not dare to be careless, and pinched up the Flyway Powder in strict accordance with Owen’s instructions.
The first time he used the flyway net, Brian’s face was a bit ugly, but he was more curious about the principle of it.
However, when Owen offered to take him to the lab, he immediately gave up his research.
As a mage, Brian knew how to make trade-offs very well, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to achieve what he was doing right now, and compared to continuing his research, the Flyway Network, although magical, couldn’t attract more of his attention.
“This is Green Shade Town, a special town.” Owen walked ahead and said to Brian.
“A special town indeed.” Brian said with a somewhat strange expression after seeing that the main inhabitants here were actually kobolds, and the most frequent travelers were adventurers; after all, kobolds were the creatures that died the most at the hands of adventurers, so much so that many of the adventurers had the habit of casually slashing them when they saw them.
“Oh, you’ll get used to it later.” Owen knew what Bryan was thinking, it did happen before that an adventurer accidentally injured a kobold resident, but things were able to be resolved smoothly under the town’s strong force.
The adventurers are a little dissatisfied, but the ruins are right in front of them, let them leave is impossible, besides the green town is too suitable for adventurers, all kinds of supplies, potions and equipment is not worse than the big city, life and entertainment is also very convenient, if not most of the inhabitants here are kobolds, it is simply a paradise for adventurers.
The good thing is that as time goes by, the adventurers gradually get used to the civilized and polite kobolds here, and split the kobolds here from the kobolds in their own original knowledge, and no longer regard them as a kind of kobolds.
