Chapter 918 - 918 Peak Artisan (1/2)

918 Peak Artisan

A hint of understanding flashed on Lin Yun’s face. ‘Sure enough, it was an Artisan. To be able to design a prototype of the Max Mana Reactor, it was all but certain that he was an Artisan.’

“Take me to Sir Crowits.”

Hesitation flashed on Dunas’ face before he cautioned, “Sir Merlin… Sir Crowits doesn’t have a good temper, he usually ignores tribesmen. He opened a puppet component part shop, and although he is the only Artisan of our fort, very few alchemists are willing to get in touch with him…”

Lin Yun waved his hands indifferently. Others might not know the extent of how formidable Crowits was, but Lin Yun knew that no ordinary Artisan could design a prototype for the Max Mana Reactor. It was something only a Peak Artisan with high achievements in the field of puppeteering could do.

Because this design was ahead of its time by over a century.

It had to be known that for something like alchemy, the foundations were most important. The fundamental theories and formulas might develop slowly, but things made by building on top of them would rapidly be improved. The same thing could peak in popularity and then fall from being a top design within a year.

This was the same for his previous life. Newton’s three laws had been the base theory, but the results relying on that base theory became more and more outstanding over time. But it still relied on the basic foundation. Anything surpassing the era by dozens of years would be very eye-opening.

This Max Mana Reactor wasn’t just a simple result, it was also creating a new law!

That fully right-angle array was a masterpiece challenging the foundational law. Even if it seemed very simple, especially to someone who had come from the future, in this era, it was a masterpiece transcending time!

Seeing Lin Yun looking so exhilarated, how could Dunas have the heart to say anything? He could only hold it in and apprehensively lead Lin Yun to Crowits’ alchemy shop.

Before getting there, Dunas specifically sent someone to notify Crowits, out of fear that Crowits would anger Lin Yun and bring a disaster upon the Grey Beastmen.

Lin Yun had a huge number of puppets under his command, and apart from the labor puppets and the auxiliary puppets, they were all at least at Level 30!

Just by relying on that puppet army, he could destroy a third of the Grey Beastman Race within a day.

Lin Yun was somewhat amazed as he stood in front of that shop. That store was truly in a remote part of the city. It wasn’t in the main path of the Grey Beastmen at all. Moreover, the store appeared to be very small, and various marks covered the outside walls of the shop.

A pitch-black hide was hung at the entrance, greasy and dirty. It could be seen with one look that it hadn’t been washed for seven to eight years.

‘This is an Artisan’s shop?’

Dunas awkwardly smiled as he explained in a small voice, “That Sir Crowits has a strange character. He doesn’t care about anything other than alchemy…”

Lin Yun didn’t say anything in response. He waved his hand to have Dunas wait outside before opening the dirty hide door and entering the ruined alchemy shop.

A dozen enchanted Light spells could be seen within the shop, and apart from a passage in the middle, there were puppets everywhere. All kinds of puppet components, both big and small, could be seen piled on the shelves.

In the depths of the shop, there was a small, old Grey Beastman sitting behind a desk. He had five layers of magnifying glasses over his left eye, and was holding the head of a pen with a pair of tweezers, inscribing a rune on a fingernail-sized component.

Lin Yun calmly walked over and determined with a glance that this person was the only Artisan of the Grey Beastmen’s fort, Crowits.

Besides an Artisan that specialized in the field of puppeteering, who could make such a miniature control hub component? A Master Alchemist certainly couldn’t manufacture this.

Lin Yun calmly waited without speaking a word. He could see that only the last important step of carving the rune and the command procedure was left, the most important part.

After half an hour, Crowits put down his tools and expressionlessly looked at the precious component for a moment before throwing it into a box on the side in dissatisfaction.

At that time, Lin Yun approached.

“Sir Crowits, let me introduce myself. I am Mafa Merlin, the new ruler of the Grey Beastmen, and also an Artisan. I came here today hoping to have Sir Crowits join my team of alchemists. We have the best technology, and the latest and most perfect refining techniques, and even some things beyond this era. I believe Sir Crowits wouldn’t be disappointed…”

Facing a Peak Artisan, Lin Yun showed the other side the due respect.

Such an esteemed Artisan actually only had such a shabby alchemy shop. Also, Crowits was only a 5th Rank Archmage, and it seemed that he had been trapped at that rank for a very long time. There was no question that Crowits was spending all his energy on puppeteering.
