[Great Demon]
A very special commander in the Thirteen Knights Regiment.
He founded the Demon Sect. For more details, please refer to the commander chapter of the Knights Regiment.
According to his personal history, he was indeed the best choice for the leader of the expedition. According to the experience of the Great Demon Commander, he would be a great help for the expedition to go deep into the old king's territory.
Of course.
The Great Demon Commander would not be the only one in charge of the expedition.
The details of the various positions of power were being formulated in full swing.
…
A week passed.
Han Dong woke up on a spacious dark round wooden table. In front of him was a pool of saliva that came from Han Dong's exhaustion.
On his left were three books full of notes. On his right were various books related to dark magic.
Some of them even required a certain status to borrow and had the word 'seal' written on them.
While most of the knights who passed the assessment were lining up outside the church to receive the Holy Baptism or relaxing themselves through various means of entertainment, Han Dong was immersed in the library.
Using the characteristic of 'Dark Knowledge', he was able to read all kinds of books in depth.
However, on the opposite side of the round wooden table, Mia accompanied him the whole time. Even if it was boring reading, as long as she could accompany Nicholas, she was very satisfied.
Perhaps because of Han Dong's influence, Mia started to read all kinds of books related to witchcraft and insects. She learned a lot.
Just when Han Dong was about to borrow a new batch of books.
A librarian with a mechanical structure suddenly came to the table.
He handed over a bronze letter with a rather textured texture. On it was a wax seal with the words "Big and Small Gears".
A mechanical voice came from his throat full of thin tubes and gears, "Warren Nicholas, this is a letter from Mr. Newton. Please read it in ten minutes."
"Thank you."
Han Dong stared at the mechanical librarian and realized the recent changes in the Knight Academy. About 20% of the staff were replaced with mechanical librarians.
Except for 50% of the brain tissue, the rest of the body was replaced with metal. Han Dong could not confirm whether the brain's consciousness was retained.
Artificial intelligence was a controversial topic even in Han Dong's previous world.
He believed that the Parliament would definitely exercise strict control over it, so there was no need for Han Dong to worry.
Moreover, according to the cooperation between Han Dong and the Steam Knights, what the investor used was not a complete AI, but a limited modification based on human consciousness.
The contents of the letter were as follows:
[Mr. Nicholas, I have heard that you have successfully passed the selection process and joined the expeditionary army. I would like to express my congratulations.
As a secret partner of the Steam Knights, you have provided quite effective assistance in life technology. We specially invite you to visit the headquarters of the Steam Knights, which is rarely open to the public.
When the time comes, there will be a commissioner at the door to receive you. You just need to guarantee my name.
By the way, I also asked the chief engineer of the power armor department to build an exclusive power armor for you.]
After reading the letter, Han Dong smiled secretly.
"When did Mr. Newton become so tactful? If there's anything you need my help with, can't you just say it? Or can't you write down the things you need my help with on the letter?
It just so happens that I have a headache from reading recently. It's better to relax at the Steam Knights.
In the past, all conversations involving experiments were conducted outside the laboratory.
I heard that the headquarters of the Steam Knights is the largest among the Thirteen Knights. I haven't officially been there yet. "
Just as Han Dong was about to get up …
Due to the sensitivity of insects, Mia immediately woke up. "Dear, where are you going?"
"Well … the Steam Knights."
"Can you go in? That is the high-level confidential area of the Holy City. It is a secret area guarded by the Thirteen Knights. "
Han Dong waved the letter in his hand. "Someone invited you. Do you want to come?"
"Huh? Can I? "
"Give it a try. If it doesn't work, you can return to the Knights of Misfortune."
"Hehe, my husband is the best."
"Don't call me that."
The reason why Han Dong called Mia …
First, it was because she had been following him for so many days.
Second, if Mia was by his side, he could use her as an excuse if he encountered some troublesome and difficult situations that were difficult to refuse.
They took the railway loop from the Knight Academy and arrived at the special street on the second floor — [Craftsman Street].
The building was mainly designed with heavy metal.
Large and small gear transmission systems, various types of boiler power engines, and exhaust pipes and metal chimneys neatly arranged between the walls of the building could be seen everywhere.
There were also various miniature railway tracks between the relatively spacious streets to achieve the rapid transportation of the entire craftsman street.
There were a large number of mechanical workshops here.
As long as it was a young man with a certain degree of talent in machinery, he could try his luck here.
At the same time, there were various shops on both sides of the street. A dazzling array of metal handicrafts could be bought as long as one had the money. The most valuable things were nothing more than two things.
First, automatic firearms that integrated modern steam technology. Some residents who had never entered the Destiny Space and did not dare to enter would pay a high price to buy them.
After all, some bizarre things often happened inside the Holy City.
Bullets with more than 30% copper content had a certain degree of lethality to the evil.
Although there might not be a way to kill the evil, it could buy enough time.
Moreover, the loud gunshots could also attract the attention of nearby patrols.
Second, steam prosthetics or simple exoskeleton devices.
In this context, it was not only people who lacked arms or legs who would be equipped with prosthetics.
There were even some young men with four limbs who would choose to amputate their fragile human arms and replace them with powerful steam powered prosthetics, thus gaining strength that surpassed humans in advance.
They could even install some flamethrowers, gun structures, and so on in the prosthetics.
This kind of modification could greatly increase the survival rate of ordinary people in their first Destiny.
Of course, the cost was also quite high.
Han Dong experienced the first Destiny — [Bewitched].
Little brother Edward in the movie was such a person who modified his prosthetics. With the power of the flamethrower and the prosthetics, he could even fight head-on with the 'impossible to resist' evil spirits and barely survive.
It was a pity that he was in the same batch as Han Dong, otherwise he might have been an official Knight by now.
It was also Mia's first time here. She grabbed Han Dong's arm and looked left and right, like a young couple shopping on the pedestrian street for the first time.
"Let's go to that shop and take a look?"
Mia stretched out her hand and pointed to a shop called [Master Charlie's Watch Shop].
When Han Dong looked over, he seemed to see an acquaintance.
In the shop, a man with a dangerous hairline immediately attracted Han Dong's attention. "Huh!? Knight Charlie, why is he here? "
