Hearing her words, the corners of Nicotine's mouth curled up imperceptibly, and he said in a low voice, "We must first find out if he has been bribed by this brat. If he has been bribed, then this brat will use him to send us the wrong message, and we can also use him to send the wrong message to that brat!"
Gwyneth nodded.
"I'll go out so as not to arouse his suspicions." Nicholas said as he opened the door and went out.
Gwyneth's eyes lit up as she looked at his back.

Temple of Elements. Thirteenth castle.
Two figures were sitting in front of a tea table drinking tea. There were a few newspapers next to them. The largest page of the newspaper was depicting a portrait of Dean. There was a smile on his face. He was full of gentleness and modesty.
"The kid hasn't produced a new invention yet but he dares to offer a price of a five star invention. He is crazy." Eivissa glanced at the newspaper and slowly moved to Terence's face: "I didn't expect that the little guy who wanted to be my assistant would reach this step. From his military crossbow, it can be seen that the new textile machine that the little guy made wasn't a stroke of luck. He does have some rare talent but he is too proud."
Terence snorted: "Haven't we seen a lot of such geniuses? He was complacent for a moment. He was young and arrogant. He despised everything. But in the end he fell down and was more miserable than anyone else! He couldn't get up no matter how hard he tried. He was completely reduced to a mediocre person. At the end of the day, the more glory one obtains now, the more it will turn into countless sharp swords stabbing into one's body when one falls, making it impossible for one to recover! "
Eivissa's eyes lit up: "You are right. But the kid seems to be very proud of his new invention. Even if it isn't a five star invention it should be at least a three star or even a four star one. Otherwise he wouldn't dare to boast like that. People who can come to this step have a little bit of brain. They won't be blinded by the current small achievements."
"I hope so." Terence said in a faint voice. But there was a trace of disdain in his expression.
Eivissa didn't seem to see Dudian's expression as he smiled: "If that's the case then I have to congratulate you. Your wood element will have another master in the future. He might even surpass your record and become the youngest wood element master. It's a pity. If your hydraulic loom was manufactured a few days earlier then it wouldn't have been a four-star evaluation. It would have reached five-star without any problem."
Terence raised his eyebrows and sneered, "The youngest Master? Even if he were a Master, he would only be at the same level as you and I. Besides, the blessings of God can sometimes be cut off at will, and the inspiration can disappear at will. Those who can really go far are people like you and I. We take one step at a time and slowly climb up. Even if we stumble along the way, we can pick up our emotions and continue again. But he is different. He has received such a special honor at such a young age. Once he stumbles, heh, he is likely to be ruined! "
Eivissa: "Yes. I hope that he can learn to face failure."
Terence slightly sneered but didn't reply.
Eivissa finished the cup of tea and got up: "It's getting late. I'll go back first. There is no one to supervise the little guys. They are going to be lazy again."
"Well, I'll send you off." Terence immediately got up.
Standing at the door and watching Ivis leave in the carriage, Terrence slowly withdrew his gaze and said with a gloomy expression, "Old fox, don't I know you have the Krylov Consortium behind you? You want to use me to test this kid? Humph!"

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Dean was in the castle every day. He only trained in the morning. He didn't show up in the afternoon or evening. Even if he ate in a hurry he would go back to the basement.
Sergei was the one who felt it the most as he saw Dudian go all out. He knew how much training he had arranged. Even if the work of making inventions didn't consume physical energy, but it required brain power. Using the brain was more painful than exercising in a state of extreme fatigue.
Scar and Jin had been reviewing the skills they had learned in the past few days. They wanted to ensure that they would be able to play their due level when they went outside the giant wall.
In the basement.
Dean's eyes were shining as he looked at the old machine that was assembled in front of him. It was a hand-cranked DC generator. Compared to modern generators, it was much simpler. Nevertheless, it took him three days to make the parts from the mold to the furnace. From this moment on, he had mastered the power of electricity!
"If I hand it over to the 'Temple of Elements' it should be a legendary item." There was excitement on Dean's face. Legendary items were priceless. They could be sold for millions of gold coins. Only the top consortiums had the ability to buy them. Also, there was a rule in the Temple that the Temple would automatically obtain the production and sales rights for the legendary items created by the Temple personnel. The points of the legendary items would also be used as rewards and supplements, as well as a bunch of other benefits. All in all, it was a compulsory binding.
Although the Temple had to share a piece of the pie, legendary items could still be sold for millions of gold coins. Because the significance of a legendary item was to dominate a field!
However, Dean restrained the impulse. At present, the 'Temple of Elements' had just entered the research state. The lightning rod was a guiding item but it was possible to reach the level of a five star item. If he directly handed over the generator then even if it was the most old-fashioned one it would represent an extraordinary significance. It could even cause a response from the top level of the Holy Church.
With Dean's current vision and understanding, he couldn't estimate what kind of chain reaction the generator would cause. Because of this, he intended to use it for the time being. He would wait for the right time to hand it over in the future.
"The advancement of technology is still too slow. At present, there is no product that dabbles in steam. It seems that I have to be the first stepping stone." Dean looked at the generator. His thoughts drifted to other places. After a moment, he moved the hand-cranked DC generator to the side. He took out another drawing and prepared to build a cannon!
"This hand-cranked DC generator has about 100 watts of power. Even the smallest electro-slag remelting furnace wouldn't be able to move it. There is no movement from the Mellon consortium. There is definitely a secret operation going on. I have to improve my strength first. " Dean gave up the idea of building a modern cannon. As for the power station, it was put aside in his mind. The more quiet the Mellon consortium was, the stronger the anxiety in his heart. Only by improving his strength could he have a basic guarantee.
Time flew.
Eight days passed in a flash.
On this day, Dean came out of the basement to eat dinner. He looked at Nicholas: "Prepare some suitcases for me and send them outside the basement."
"Suitcases?" Nicholas was surprised: "Is the invention finished?"
Dean nodded. It took eight days to finally build it.
Sergei and others looked at each other as they saw Dean nod. They were surprised and full of curiosity. They didn't know what the new invention would look like.
After dinner, Dean took the suitcases to the basement. He put the assembly parts on the ground into it. As for the huge pedestal and the barrel, he had to use a cloth to carry them.
Nicholas and others were curious as they saw the huge metal tube on the ground. They were surprised. This thing was as rough as a chimney. How could it be called an invention?
After all the parts were packed, Dean looked at Scar and Jin: "Sleep early tonight. We will go outside the giant wall from tomorrow onwards."
Nicholas was surprised: "Aren't you going to send your new invention to the Temple for evaluation?"
Dean looked at him: "Have you ever seen such a rough invention? It's a special weapon for hunting monsters. I don't know if it's good or not. Let's test the water first. "
"Uh …" Nicholas choked and couldn't say anything.
Sergei was stunned: "This … This thing is used to hunt monsters? With this tube? "
Gwyneth stood next to Dean and silently watched his every move.
Dean almost spat out a mouthful of water when he heard Sergei's words. He thought that it was the era of cold weapons so it was normal for Sergei to have such thinking. He said: "We will know when we use it. I don't know if it's good or not."
Sergei's face was full of black lines: "This … Do we need to use it to know?"
Dean looked at Sergei's speechless expression. He rolled his eyes and no longer paid attention to him.
Dean dismissed everyone and went back to his room. He continued to carve with his left hand until late at night.
The next day.
