Chapter 579 The Villain Is Causing Trouble

"Although this place looks quite messy, in fact... well, it's also quite messy, but the areas are actually divided into simple areas. For example, here is where we study battlefield weapons, ranging from large weapons like Thor's Hammer to small ones. There are studies on everything from the weight of a mace to whether the hand is weighed.”

"Well... Hey, why is there still a sickle?"

"Oh, I was studying farm tools here some time ago, so I probably didn't clean them up...don't worry about it. Well, the smell here is a bit strange, because it's the place where poison is brewed. The guards here are also the strictest, Arthur, you usually better not……"

Boom... Before he finished speaking, there was a flash of fire in the tightly closed buildings in front of him, and small explosions were heard immediately. Then black smoke repeatedly leaked from the gaps in the doors and windows, and coughs could be faintly heard inside.

"Come closer here... look, as you can see. Move! Don't smell this."

…

After entering the craftsman's office, Tang En, led by the conscientious Matthew Mann, roughly visited all the areas inside.

As for the feeling... how should I put it, Tang En felt that this place was more like a real noisy vegetable market than a pirated Alchemy Guild.

One word, chaos! Two words, very confusing! Three words, a mess...

Although I know this is a necessary reserve period, confusion is inevitable. But if Beihuang wants to catch up with Bran's alchemy level here, I'm afraid there's a long way to go, and there's no time in sight.

After walking around, Matthewman patted his head, then turned around and asked: "By the way, Arthur, are you here?"

"It's also research." Tang En shrugged, "Currently there are two things, or two types of lenses. As for the function, to put it simply, one can see clearly in front of you, and the other can see clearly in the distance."

"The lens... you can see clearly in front of you and understand it, but you have to see clearly in the distance... could it be the legendary magic mirror? You are a magician!" The tone of his voice suddenly rose, and Matthewman exclaimed.

"Of course not, these things are used by ordinary people... Anyway, I won't be able to explain it for a while. Let's talk about it after we get it done." Waving his hand, Tang En casually changed the subject, "Mr. Ma studies metal, so what? Which research area works?”

"That's where the battlefield weapons are." Matthewman pointed to the place he introduced before, shook his head and said, "Actually, it's the battlefield weapons. After getting the armor and mace, the progress got stuck, so I turned to developing agricultural tools. However, Some time ago, when the Ziyi Army God broke into the imperial city, he destroyed several Thor's Hammers on the outer city walls. Well, you have heard about this, right..."

After a pause, Matthewman, a former Bran man, looked a little emotional when he mentioned Ziyi, and then said, "Since the Thor's hammer is broken, there is no need to take as much care as before. So it was shipped directly. Let’s dismantle it here and study it to see if it can be repaired... In fact, everyone knows that there is no hope of repairing it, so let’s learn something.”

Having said this, Matthewman spread his hands and looked helpless. This is a fact. Heavy battlefield weapons such as Thor's Hammer are Bran's magic weapon to win against the Northern Wasteland. The time and energy they spend on it are so terrifying. It has been light for generations. In this way, it is naturally beyond the scope of Beihuang's budding alchemy level.

But at this moment, a burst of harsh laughter suddenly came,

"Haha, you are somewhat self-aware. But since it can't be repaired, what use do you have? Why not pack up and leave as soon as possible, this is not a place for waste."

Tang En turned his head in surprise when he heard the sound, and saw an old man wearing a green cotton robe, with a thin figure and a face as pale as if he had been drunk with alcohol, walking towards him with a sarcastic smile on his face.

Matthewman on the side suddenly became furious when he saw this man, his body trembled slightly, and he loudly reprimanded: "Claudine! You despicable villain, it's not your turn to accuse me!"

"Haha, it's not my turn now, but in a few days I will be promoted to the regional director, and I will be able to take care of you. Don't beg me then, because begging me is useless, I will see you with my own eyes Get out of here, and then become a frozen corpse on the roadside. Haha..." Like the harsh laughter of a rooster with its throat pinched, the old man named Clauren looked at Matthewman, arrogantly Xisao said.

After a pause, Matthewman's old face turned red: "You...you think you can do whatever you want? Hey, the director will never agree to a shameless person like you becoming the regional leader."

"Huh, let's wait and see." He waved his hand disdainfully, glanced at Tang En and narrowed his eyes, "New here? Haha, I advise you not to get involved with this Matthew Man, otherwise... …hey-hey!"

With a sinister laugh, he turned around and strode away.

Tang En looked unmoved. This level of threat could not elicit the slightest reaction from him, and he did not even bother to have the desire to teach the other party a lesson.

However, Matthewman was obviously not like this. Although he had spoken forcefully just now, he was now standing there in a daze, his expression changing, and he was obviously extremely worried.

Upon seeing this, Tang En casually asked: "Is this Laurent also from Bran? Why did he have a problem with Mr. Ma?" This really made Tang En a little puzzled. At least in his current view, the Bran people are in danger. They are still very united in this foreign land, and only by hugging each other can they feel a sense of security.

"Oh, they are all trivial matters. Ever since I came here and squeezed out his position in the battlefield, he has been jealous of me." Matthewman shook his head helplessly, "There is an upper limit on the number of people who can study each subject. I just came in at that time, and I had no idea of ​​squeezing out such a person, but he always took it to heart, and it has been like this for so many years."

"Oh, it seems like he's just a villain. He won't cause much trouble, so Mr. Ma doesn't have to worry too much." After all, Matthew Man also stayed with him for a long time. Tang En comforted him, "Besides, you didn't just Did you also say that the director here will not allow him to do this?"

Matthewman sighed again: "Well, Arthur, you just came here and don't understand the situation. I'm not worried about the director. Although he is a Northern Wilderness, he is also obsessed with research and has real abilities for those of us. The attitude of the people in Bran is quite good, but the dozen or so deputy directors are..."

"Wait, a dozen?"

"Well, basically they are all guys who come to get gold plated..."

Through Matthewman's worried introduction, Tang En finally understood what the superstructure of this craftsman's office looked like.

First of all, there is no problem with the director. After all, this is an institution that the Queen values, so naturally it is impossible to let a idiot manage it.

But it's different for the more than a dozen deputy directors. The craftsman's office is a place that is very easy to produce results, and it is also a good place for gold plating. Therefore, some capable tribal chiefs are trying to find ways to bring their direct descendants in, even if they are just given the title of deputy director without real power, they will naturally get a share of the credit for their achievements.

As for Lauren, although her alchemy skills were average, she was very talented at flattery. He just relied on his humble identity as a Bran to ingratiate himself with several unlearned deputy directors, and he did very well. .

From this point of view, with the support of those deputy directors, it is very possible for Laurent to be promoted to regional director as he just mentioned. After all, he was just a middle-level person in charge, so it was naturally unlikely that the director would brush off these high-status deputy directors for this reason.

And once Clauren really becomes the regional director, Matthewman's results will naturally not be much better. After all, it’s always easy to find fault, especially if you’re conscious. As long as we find a reason to expel Matthewman from here, except for some alchemy skills, Matthewman, who is completely old and weak, is likely to end up like freezing to death on the roadside as Clauren said.

Of course, it is useless for Mathewman to worry about these things now. He has no background and can only wait and see what happens.

It didn't take long for Tang En to see the director of the craftsman's office that Matthewman just mentioned, a man from the Northern Wilderness with a strange smell and a majestic body. The other party came to greet him and took Tang En to his separate laboratory.

It was obvious that Andre had said hello before. So even though the director may be a little disapproving, but even if he sees His Highness Lansha's face, some superficial work must still be done.

After exchanging pleasantries, the director simply suggested going to Tang En's laboratory. Of course Tang En would not object, but at this moment,

"Director, I happen to have some free time, why don't you let me take Mr. Arthur to the laboratory." Matthewman, who had been staying nearby, suddenly said, "Besides, I am very interested in what Mr. Arthur is studying. , maybe it can help with something.”

The director was slightly startled when he heard this, glanced at Matthewman, and suddenly hesitated. To be honest, he really didn't have time to waste on Tang En. In his opinion, Tang En is undoubtedly a lucky person who has gained connections with the royal family. As for researching things...at such an age, don't be ridiculous.

Tang En turned to look at Matthewman, who had a faintly pleading look on his face. His eyes flickered slightly, and he just pondered for a few seconds before nodding with a smile: "Haha, Mr. Ma and I are already familiar with each other, so it would be best for him to lead me. Director, you are the best." What do you think?"

"Okay, that's settled."
