The newspapers of Mellon and Krylov consortium directly satirized the price proposed by Dean. Words like 'arrogant', 'young and frivolous', 'arrogant and complacent' were used to describe Dean.
Moreover, with the idea of offending Dudian to the end, he even took the initiative to help Dudian in the newspaper. He commented that the reason why Dudian offered such a price was because he didn't put the master in his eyes after getting the 'times medal'. He thought that his work could surpass the master's!
Dean smiled indifferently as he read the newspaper. It was estimated that in a few days, the so-called 'surpassing master' remarks would become his own words. No one would care about the truth at that time. Although he had expected it, he didn't think that the Krylov consortium would be involved. Perhaps the reason was related to him bailing out Sergei.
Dean sighed as he thought about Granita who came to the castle and tried to invite him. It seemed that Granita was the one who coveted Sergei's beauty and wanted to rape him. He reckoned that Granita was very angry when she learned that Sergei was bailed out.
When they first met, he felt that this woman looked familiar. Later on, he learned that she was a well-known beauty in the aristocratic circle. Even many realistic oil painting masters had painted her portrait, which was treasured by some wealthy merchants, landlords, and squires.
"It's impossible for the Krylov consortium to be enemies with me because of Sergei. Maybe they sent Granita to talk about cooperation but she didn't get my military crossbow. That's why they got angry out of shame." There was a faint smile on his face. Dean put down the newspaper and gently rubbed his fingers. He was lost in thought.
Nicholas stood next to Dean in a respectful manner. His eyes swept over the newspaper that Dean put on the table. Although the font was upside down from his point of view, it didn't prevent him from quickly and accurately skimming through all the information. His pupils shrank when he saw the words' epoch medal '. He didn't think that Dean's identity in the Temple would be so honorable. No wonder all the consortiums were paying close attention to him. They didn't hesitate to use the best layout for Dean.
Nicholas's eyes flashed as he secretly looked at the boy. His fingers gently clenched in his sleeves.
After a moment, Sergei, Gwyneth and others went downstairs.
Sergei's chest was wrapped with a white bandage. Except for the steel nail that was still oozing a faint dark red color, the blood did not spread to the surrounding area. The wound should have already scabbed. Nicotine's eyes flashed. It was indeed one of the top ten rare 'Steel Dragon' magic marks, the body's healing power was amazing.
Sergei was standing on the stairs. His eyes swept towards the boy who had woken up and was eating breakfast in the dining room. His sleepy eyes slightly narrowed as he paused for a moment before continuing to walk down the stairs.
"Exercise in the morning and rest in the afternoon." Dean indifferently said as he looked at Sergei who had a gloomy face.
"Rest in the afternoon?" Sergei was slightly surprised. There was a bit of joy in his gloomy eyes, but he quickly realized his expression. He quickly put away his joy and said: "You are quite lazy."
Dean glanced at him: "Is that so?"
Sergei's back felt cold as he looked at Dean's smiling eyes. He turned his head and pulled out a chair to sit down. He looked at Nicholas: "What are you doing? Where is my breakfast?"
Nicholas's mouth slightly twitched. He turned to the maid next to him: "Bring the breakfast."
"Yes." The maid quickly replied.
After breakfast, Dean returned to the training ground to continue his exercise. Scar and Jin joined him as he was halfway through his training. One of them said to Dean: "We have nothing to do. Let's move our muscles and bones."
Dean didn't stop them but reminded them: "Don't tear your wounds. We are going to hunt outside the giant wall."
Both of them agreed and immediately changed their mind. They didn't learn from Dean's frog stand, but used other methods to exercise their waist, legs, and flexibility.
Although such a high-intensity exercise, even if they persisted day after day for ten years, the increase in strength wouldn't be as much as a bottle of 'God's blessing'. But through the exercise, they would be able to master all parts of the body. Moreover, they would be able to exert twice the results with half the effort in battle.
Sergei didn't pay attention to Scar and Jin. For him, his obligation was to teach Dean. As for the others, he was too lazy to pay attention to them.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon.
The four of them returned to the castle. After lunch, Scar and Jin's stomach had almost digested the lunch. They went back to the training ground to familiarize themselves with the skills of the past.
Dean asked Gwyneth and Sergei to move the steel to the basement. There were several basements under the castle. Some were used to store goods while others were used to expand the alchemy room.
Dean told them to leave after the materials were delivered. He warned Nicholas that no one should disturb him while he was working on the invention.
Dean closed the door of the alchemy room. He used the wood that was already prepared in the room to carve the model of the generator parts. He used his right hand to hold the knife while his left hand held the wooden board.
With the previous experience of exercising his left hand, Dean felt that the flexibility and control of his right hand had improved a lot, and he was able to carve with ease.
…
…
Shortly after Dean entered the alchemy room, Nicholas, Gwyneth and Sergei appeared in a remote room. Nicholas looked at Sergei. There was a trace of vigilance in his eyes as he looked at Gwyneth: "Now the three of us are in the same boat. The two little guys on the first floor are cellmates with the kid. Their relationship is extraordinary. They are determined to follow the kid. The three of us have to unite in order to get rid of the kid and completely restore our freedom."
Sergei looked at him with interest: "So, do you have a plan?"
Nicholas looked at him: "We know nothing at present. It is a waste of time to make any plans. The first thing we have to do is to find out the details of the kid. As far as we know, the kid is not only a hunter but also an architect of the 'Temple of Elements'. From these two identities we can infer that the kid's family was a commoner and relatively wealthy."
"But since the kid is a hunter, it means that his family doesn't have any power behind them. They have nothing to do with the nobles."
Sergei chuckled: "I don't need you to analyze this."
Nicotine's face turned cold as he mocked, "Is that so? Then tell me, what do you know? Didn't you go out with him the day before yesterday? Don't tell me that you didn't get anything. "There was a trace of imperceptible coldness in his eyes.
Sergei slightly sneered: "At least more than you know. The day before yesterday, this kid took me to the raw materials market to buy steel. Today was the batch that was delivered. At that time, I knew that he was an architect of the Temple. Moreover, his position was quite high. Yesterday, the Green consortium came to invite him and offered such a high price. This kid's status in the Temple is estimated to be close to that of a master, if not a master."
"The most important thing is that the kid doesn't have any power behind him. He is the mastermind!"
"He doesn't have any power behind him?" Nicholas's eyes flashed.
Sergei indifferently said: "The kid took me to the Ryan family. The Ryan family is as broken as the rumors say. They don't have the money to bail us out. The money must have been earned by the kid using his identity as an architect. I guess that after the kid escaped from prison, he hijacked the Ryan family. Then he signed a contract with the Ryan family as a hunter. He seems to belong to the Ryan family, but in fact, the Ryan family is completely under his control. Therefore, the kid should be the mastermind behind the scenes. Judging from the fact that he was able to escape from prison, the kid's scheming is enough to do this!"
Nicholas looked at him deeply, nodded slowly, and said: "That's not bad, but to be cautious, we need to grasp more information."
Sergei snorted but didn't say anything.
Nicholas looked at the time: "We can't stay together for a long time. We don't want to be noticed by the servants."
"Alright, I'll go out first." Sergei shrugged his shoulders then turned and left the room.
Nicholas quietly came to the door and listened to the footsteps. When the footsteps gradually disappeared, he turned back to the room and asked Gwyneth: "What do you think about what he said just now?"
Gwyneth quietly looked at him: "What do you think?"
Nicholas rubbed his chin and said, "When I saw them come back, this brat put his hand on him, and his attitude towards him changed greatly. I really can't trust him."
"That alone doesn't mean anything." Gwyneth whispered.
Nicholas nodded, "Yes, but we don't know if it's true or false so it's better to isolate him. If he wasn't bought by the kid then everything he said is true. But there are a lot of loopholes in his words. First of all, the kid is the mastermind behind the scenes and the Ryan family is just a shield for him. So where did he learn the ability to make Divine Incantations? There is no such high level of knowledge in the library that can only be accessed by civilians. In addition, even if he has the ability to make inventions, don't forget that the power that put an intermediate hunter in prison is one of the six consortiums. Even if it's not, it's one of the top nobles. It's impossible that they don't know about the kid's escape. "
"How can the Ryan family protect this kid if they know about it?"
