Grandmaster Kikui had begun to take this "future disciple" seriously. Previously, he thought that the so-called "ancient alchemy civilization" was just a gimmick that Rex The Great wanted him to take in as a disciple. He did not expect that this prince's ability would even amaze a grandmaster like him. Could it be that this young man had really inherited the legendary ancient civilization?
"Unfortunately, this Mademoiselle Peluche has taken a wrong turn. To put it bluntly, she does not need to insist on that kind of difficult enchantment. Instead of stubbornly sticking to a high-level runic array, it is better for her to be proficient in ordinary enchantment. Enchantment is enough for quasi-Legendary-level equipment or even Legendary-level equipment. In fact, based on the characteristics of her mental strength, she is more suitable for enchantment. If she continues to walk down this path with such an ambitious attitude, she will only deviate from the path of a grandmaster. In this life, becoming a real senior master is already her limit. "
"Arthur!" Rex The Great's voice became more severe. Although most of the people present were amateurs, they could still hear Chen Rui's lecturing tone. Regardless of whether the advice was accurate or not, Lin Li's teacher was here. Such a sharp criticism was tantamount to mocking the grandmaster, Kikui, as a disciple of Grandmaster Kikui, for not being able to teach his students well.
Even if "Arthur" really had some talent, Grandmaster Kikui, who had lost face, would not accept this disciple.
Peluci, on the other hand, was drenched in cold sweat. In fact, what "Arthur" had said was actually the same as what her teacher Kikui had pointed out. It was just that his tone was not as harsh!
When she heard the last sentence, the girl's competitive spirit made her refute indignantly, "Grandmaster? How arrogant of you! Do you know what the path of a grandmaster is? "
"Whether I know or not has nothing to do with you. Even if I tell you, you won't understand." Chen Rui glanced at Grandmaster Kikui. "Wait until you truly understand the meaning of the word 'life' in the future, then you are qualified to discuss this topic."
Hearing the word "life", Grandmaster Kikui's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he slowly stood up. "His Royal Highness, am I qualified to discuss this?"
The smell of gunpowder in this sentence was very strong. Rex The Great could not help but frown.
It seemed that "Arthur" had successfully infuriated Grandmaster Kikui. The heads of the two houses and the three departments shook their heads and sighed inwardly. "This Third Prince really doesn't know what's good for him. His Majesty has arranged a meeting to acknowledge a master, but it turned out to be such a mess."
The eyes of the Fourth Prince Luke flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking. Garfield was originally gloating, but when he thought that the failure of Arthur's apprenticeship might lead to an uncertain factor in the ownership of Jinyao Territory, he couldn't help but think quickly. However, after this incident, Rex's impression of "Arthur" would be even worse, which would only benefit him.
Chen Rui turned a blind eye to Rex The Great's expression. He just looked at Kikui indifferently and showed a strange smile. "I have a dwarf friend who said a proverb, 'A hammer is the best at telling the truth.' Grandmaster Kikui, what do you think?"
Even Rex The Great thought he heard it wrongly. Is he going to compete with a mechanic grandmaster in mechanics?
"Good idea." Kikui's voice was very cold, and his expression showed a hint of solemnity. The knowledge and bearing shown by this young man are indeed extraordinary. Could it be …
Chen Rui did not say much. Suddenly, a platform appeared in front of him, and everyone recognized that it was a forging table. As Chen Rui waved his hand, the flame in the magic furnace was suddenly ignited, and the entire hall was instantly filled with a feeling of heat.
"This is my tool table, so I'll show my incompetence first." As he said, Chen Rui took out a piece of the most common black iron ore and began to calcine it.
The temperature of the magic furnace was very high. Soon, the red-hot ore was clamped out, and the hammer was swung high.
"Ding!" At the first strike, Kikui's eyes changed.
Soon, Pelushi's expression also changed from anger to shock. Although she wasn't good at metal proficiency, she was a master-level mechanic after all. Naturally, she could hear the endless mystery contained in that kind of tapping. However, she could only feel the indescribable mystery, but she could not understand it because this mystery had far exceeded her current level of understanding.
Soon, Chen Rui's work was completed.
In the eyes of the laymen in the hall, this was a simple and crude dagger. Even the worst blacksmith in the capital would be able to make such a dagger.
Garfield couldn't help but sneer disdainfully. You pretended to be so mysterious before, but you're actually this kind of trash. You even dare to show your incompetence in front of a grandmaster? Wait, Grandmaster Kikui's expression doesn't seem right …
Grandmaster Kikui stared at the "clumsy" dagger as if he wasn't looking at a fake piece of equipment, but an artifact. Astonishment, realization, surprise … all kinds of expressions were intertwined. After a while, he nodded and actually bowed to Chen Rui.
Those who were attentive noticed that this was the ancient etiquette that Chen Rui performed to Grandmaster Kikui previously.
Pelushi understood what this etiquette meant the best. That Royal Highness … deserved it.
"Kikui Comost, it's our first time meeting. Please forgive my rudeness. It's an honor to meet you, Grandmaster Arthur."
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was shocked.
Even Rex The Great, who usually didn't show his emotions, couldn't help but look shocked at that moment. Arthur … Grandmaster?
Whether it was the deans, directors, or the two princes, they were all in disbelief.
Garfield's first reaction was that it was impossible. Seven years ago, Arthur was just an idle prince who had never been exposed to alchemy. Now, he actually became a mechanic grandmaster? Garfield's second reaction was collusion. Grandmaster Kikui and "Arthur" colluded to deceive everyone! However, this speculation was immediately rejected by himself.
What was the identity of Grandmaster Kikui? He was one of the two remaining grandmasters of mankind. He was a free citizen. His qualifications and prestige were the best in the entire human mechanics industry. Even the other grandmaster, Faraceni, had to respect him. Rex The Great spent a lot of effort this time to invite him. How could he possibly collude with a character like "Arthur" in advance?
Moreover, once the identity of "grandmaster" was recognized and spread, it would definitely be known by the whole world. Faking it was equivalent to courting death. It was impossible.
So … the original idiot "Arthur" really became a grandmaster? What happened in the past seven years?
Chen Rui smiled slightly, "Grandmaster Kikui, if there is a chance in the future, I will visit you. Please don't mind my intrusion."
"It's my honor." Kikui laughed, "Grandmaster Arthur is too modest. Those who reach the pinnacle come first. I should be the one to ask for advice. I'm ashamed of my inferiority in the life comprehension of your dagger! Perhaps only the elven grandmaster in the Jadeite Forest Sea can be on par with you. Peluxi … Come here and apologize to Grandmaster Arthur. "
Peluxi seemed to have woken up from a dream. She quickly came to Chen Rui and bowed deeply, "Grandmaster Arthur, please forgive my rudeness. Thank you for your guidance."
This prince turned out to be a real grandmaster. No wonder he bowed to her teacher like that just now. To be able to receive guidance and even criticism from a grandmaster, it was definitely a rare honor and learning opportunity for her as a master. There was no grudge in her heart at all.
"Ms. Peluxi, this dagger is for you. If you can understand the principle of 'seeing the truth from the ordinary', then your mechanical attainments will have a qualitative leap."
Peluxi was overjoyed. She took the dagger and thanked him repeatedly.
Grandmaster Kikui chatted with Chen Rui for a while as if there was no one else around. They became more and more congenial. She felt that she regretted not meeting Chen Rui earlier, so she immediately bowed to Rex The Great, "Thanks to Your Majesty's invitation today, I got to know Grandmaster Arthur. I'm very grateful. I'm honored to meet the third human grandmaster … perhaps also the first grandmaster in the world. I hope to stay in your country for a while and ask Grandmaster Arthur for advice. "
The first grandmaster in the world? Not just a human country? This supreme evaluation once again caused everyone to marvel. Logically speaking, although "Arthur's" grandmaster strength was recognized by Grandmaster Kikui, due to his age, there was still a lack of experience after all. Unexpectedly, he was praised so highly by Grandmaster Kikui!
The first grandmaster! Even without the identity of a prince, "Arthur" would also be the "treasure" that the entire Long Huang Empire must cherish!
Rex The Great had quickly recovered from the shock and nodded, "This is the honor of Arthur and the Long Huang Empire. Arthur's mansion is in the Jinyao Territory. The Jinyao Territory was originally managed by another prince. The closing procedures have already been carried out, and it will probably be completed in about three days. If Grandmaster Kikui doesn't mind, please stay in the Long Huang Empire for a while. "
"Of course." Grandmaster Kikui looked happy and smiled at Chen Rui. The original "apprenticeship" ceremony turned into an exchange of grandmasters, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became harmonious.
In contrast, the face of the "other prince" had become extremely pale.
Jinyao Territory! Within three days!
For the originally confident second prince Garfield, this was tantamount to a bolt from the blue!
Jinyao Territory was one of the most fertile territories of the Long Huang Empire. Since the disappearance of "Arthur", it had been regarded as the exclusive property of the second prince. After seven years of painstaking efforts, it had become his most important base and the greatest capital to compete for the throne in the future. Because of this, Garfield persecuted the Kranks in every way and wanted to completely control the territory, but now …
The heads of the two academies and the three departments all noticed the strangeness of the second prince Garfield, and they understood.
Rex The Great's decision was not surprising. This was a world where it was better to support the weak than to support the strong. The third prince "Arthur" had shown an amazing ability, so he would definitely get relative respect and benefits. It was also reasonable for him to get back to the Jinyao Territory.
As for Garfield, no one would sympathize with the loser. It was good enough that he didn't go up to stab the second prince. Although this time the second prince was not really defeated, it could be regarded as a serious injury. However, after this incident, everyone, including Rex The Great, had to re-evaluate the Royal Highness "Arthur" who had been missing for seven years.
"Second brother, for three days … I'm really sorry for your trouble." Chen Rui said to Garfield with a smile, "Thank you for your selfless contribution to the Jinyao Territory over the years."
"Third brother, we are all brothers. You are welcome." Garfield's heart was bleeding, but in front of Rex The Great and others, he had to squeeze a smile on his face.
