On the same day, the Royal Society of Medicine's "Hippocratic Second Class Medal" and two newspapers that published the news of the "scurvy" being solved by a navy major were sent to Elvin.
They were the Beckler Post, which represented the kingdom's mouthpiece, and the Daily Navigator, which had great influence among sailors, navigators, and even pirates.
Both newspapers used large text on the main page to praise the great significance of the solution and its inventor, Major Elvin Garriott.
As his reputation spread, Elvin also had a new label on him. He was no longer the descendant of a fallen noble who could only rely on his family's afterglow.
However, he was in a relatively unfamiliar environment.
Other than the students in the same batch as him and a small number of necessary insiders, very few people would associate this name with the current student Elvin, which also saved him a lot of trouble.
In fact, when he saw these two public newspapers, Elvin knew that the kingdom's upper echelons obviously didn't want to keep it a secret for long and maintain their first-mover advantage.
After all, these methods were worthless and didn't have the slightest technical content. It was better to take advantage of the confidentiality period to exchange enough benefits from their allies and gain a good reputation for not keeping it to themselves.
So.
These two newspapers were said to be praising Elvin, but it was better to say that they were bidding documents for allies and potential customers … those who were willing to take the bait.
Soon, in just a short two to three days, the news in the city was replaced by new information, and Elvin's popularity dropped. Other than the people who were directly related to it, to the general public, it was like the ripples caused by a stone on a lake, quickly returning to calmness after a short period of excitement.
But there were some people in one place, who clearly didn't belong to the forgetful general public.
New Haven, some unfathomable secret place.
The sky was a little low, covered with gray clouds. The space under the clouds might only be the size of an ordinary town in the outside world.
However, the scene here wasn't ordinary at all.
The town was like a precise whole, the neatly planned workshops were its muscles, the steel constructs were its bones, and the flowing molten iron was its blood.
Other than that, there were humanoid constructs with uniform movements, busy transport machines, and tall chimneys embellished the scene, forming a steel jungle.
Although there weren't many real living people, the bustling scene made this place as cold and hard as steel full of life and vitality.
The small space was like a future world that transcended the era, a construct town that had truly popularized the creation of constructs, a human miracle created by the great alchemy!
The second Princess Levina was standing at the top of the steel tower in the middle of Alchemy town, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of a spacious study, looking at the unique "scenery" that would shock her no matter how many times she saw it.
This was a mysterious miracle that was called the "Sorcerer's Garden".
The gray mist transformed into a huge dome that enveloped the entire town, completely separating it from the outside world.
Between the land and the land of the town was the land was sea sea was the same gray sea. Other than the strange color, it was no different from the real ocean outside.
The most eye-catching thing in this space was not the busy construct workshop, but a battleship docked at the dock. It was a veritable steel behemoth — the legendary battleship "Steam Fortress"!
The entire ship was silver-gray, made of steel that had been enchanted with alchemy. The ship was more than 120 meters long, weighed seven thousand tons, and was powered by the same enchanted steam engine.
There was not a single sail installed on the hull, and the entire deck was occupied by densely packed alchemy turrets. They looked like hedgehogs, and there were at least a hundred of them armed to the teeth!
It was just quietly docked there, like a steel fortress floating on the water. The poor brains of mortals could not imagine what it would look like when it was truly activated.
This was the last treasure of the Kingdom of Faletis!
"Is such a great creation really the work of humans? No matter how many times I see it, it still shocks me to the core. " Staring at the giant steel ship, Levina had lost all her dignity as a princess. Her eyes were unfocused as she muttered, obviously impressed by this great alchemy creation.
"Your Highness, it is not arrogance to admit the greatness of humans, but to prove that humans are no longer inferior. The glory of human civilization will eventually shine on the world, and we will no longer succumb to monsters, evil spirits, and even gods.
The fate of humans will eventually be decided by humans. Although the steam engine has just been popularized, perhaps your generation will be able to witness such a great moment. "
Behind him, the Duke of Princeton sat in a chair with a cup of black tea and smiled. His tone was calm, but he was full of confidence in alchemy.
* Knock knock knock … *
"Come in."
A plump librarian in a black robe pushed the door open and walked in. His hood was down, revealing a round metal head. There were no complete facial features, only three round sapphires inlaid on it.
Obviously, this librarian who received Elvin's application that day was a construct.
It held a newspaper in its hand and came to the Princeton Principal. It said in its original mechanical voice, "Mr. Principal, I think you should take a look at this."
"Oh? Major Elvin Garrett … the founder of the greatest discovery in the past decade … the Goddess's Favored … the Model of the Kingdom's Soldier? "
Opening the front page of the newspaper, the Duke showed an interested smile and asked the librarian, "I remember that this young man also submitted an application for borrowing, right?"
"Yes, Your Highness! The initial evaluation is excellent, and the follow-up review has also been completed. There is only one thing. Mr. Elvin's family used to be a noble of the Kingdom of Ilia and is not a full citizen of the Kingdom. You need to personally confirm the membership. "
It was responsible for the follow-up review, so it was naturally very clear about Elvin's situation.
"This is not a problem. 'Violet Eyes' is not an isolated national organization. With his contributions to the Kingdom, it is enough for him to join the association and become an official member.
Such a talent should be in our hands even if he is a citizen of an enemy country.
Just sign it! "
The librarian turned and left with the approval document signed by the principal.
Levina, who was listening on the side, asked with interest, "Mr. Principal, is it the Elvin who defeated the out-of-control Wake Wales?"
"That's him. Every time I hear his name, it gives me a little surprise. I'm looking forward to the future of this young man." Princeton was obviously in a good mood after recruiting another talent.
"Does he have such potential?" Princess was a little surprised. There were many outstanding talents in the academy, but they rarely received such praise from the principal.
The old man did not directly reply to Levina. Instead, he asked her a seemingly unrelated question.
"Needless to say about the apprentice level, many wizards of the school may not have any strong fighting ability even when they reach the official level. They may not even have the extraordinary skills of other extraordinary professions.
Obviously, the wizard profession is not stronger than other extraordinary people.
But why is the wizard profession considered to be a threat to the gods and suppressed? "
Seeing that she was deep in thought, the principal of Princeton continued.
"The strength of a wizard depends entirely on the knowledge they have grasped. While they are not protected by sequencing and enhanced by extraordinary skills, they are not shackled by sequencing and are not limited by the mysterious source.
In theory, they have unlimited possibilities and creativity!
And I see this in this young man. "
"Threaten the gods? Unlimited possibilities and creativity?! "
