Chapter 926 - Breaking Through The Limits

Chapter 926: Breaking Through The Limits

Hence, in the eyes of everyone, the Alchemy Colossuses, which were built using previous materials, had already reached the limit in all aspects of performance. Breaking through the limit was not impossible, but the only way to do so was replacing the materials with stronger and more precious ones, yet the dwarf simply used a hammer and prodded it without any technical knowledge. How could the Alchemy Colossuses have improved?

Among the people present, only Donald remained calm and composed. He ignored the comments of the other metallurgists, and said to that metallurgist, “I remember that part of the lower limb of your Alchemy Colossus was damaged just now. What did that dwarf do there? You shouldn’t have forgotten yet.”

“Yes, Master, the part of the lower limb of the Alchemy Colossus that I was controlling had been damaged. When the dwarf repaired it, he said that one of the parts lacked a positioning device. Hence, the joints are prone to damage and lack flexibility. He then stuffed something inside.” At the mention of it, the metallurgist had an awkward expression. After considering it for a while, he continued, “I remember he seemed to have shaped an ordinary piece of metal into something, and that seems to be his so-called positioning device.”

Everyone was in even greater disbelief after hearing those words. To them, ordinary metal was like rocks that could be found everywhere. Nothing was more trashy than ordinary metal, be it in terms of value or function and performance.

Of course, if that ordinary steel could be carefully processed, it would barely be able to support the Alchemy Colossus for a while. However, the problem was that the other party had merely prodded it a few times without effort. Yet, he managed to shove it back into the Alchemy Colossus’ body. Could that even be considered repair?

In the eyes of the crowd, it was already a miracle that the Alchemy Colossus could start moving again after being repaired in such a manner. How could its performance be improved because of that?

While everyone was airing their doubts, the metallurgist who’d spoken instantly blushed. He even began to doubt himself. He did not continue arguing, and instead turned around to look at his Alchemy Colossus before looking at his peers who doubted him. Could everything just now be just an illusion?

However, Donald had already reached the peak of the Master-level in alchemy, and things weren’t as simple to him as the others thought. Although he refused to believe that the funny-looking dwarf really had such high attainments in alchemy, the truth was that the seven Alchemy Colossuses had been repaired without a doubt. From that alone, he could tell that Angelano definitely had a good understanding of the structure of the Alchemy Colossus even though he was not that terrifying.

Donald shifted his gaze onto the legs of the Alchemy Colossus, and after remaining silent for a moment, he instructed that metallurgist to open up the part that had been repaired. He then said to the other metallurgists, “What about you? Do you feel the same as him?”

Seeing that his peer’s words had attracted so many questions, those several guys began to seem a little hesitant after hearing Donald’s words. They had no idea what they ought to say, because they refused to believe it. They even felt that they seemed to have been hallucinating. Besides, walking for a short period of time was not enough for them to sense the minor changes in the Alchemy Colossus.

However, just as the few of them were hesitating, a young metallurgist who was standing at the back of the group stepped forward timidly, and said to Donald, “Teacher, I feel that that dwarf really seems to have high attainments in alchemy. He even managed to recognize the Array Circulation Pathway that Master Russell was good at. He also pointed out the flaws in it and made adjustments.”

The young metallurgist was Donald’s student. Hence, he did not have as many scruples as the rest. He decided to muster the courage and voice his conjectures.

“I bet he was just spouting nonsense. Master Russell is the best metallurgist in the Rotterdam Kingdom. If what that dwarf said was real, doesn’t that mean that his level of alchemy is even higher than Master Russell’s!?” Before Donald could say anything, the metallurgists around him were immediately indignant. If it weren’t for the fact that he was Donald’s student, they would have probably rushed forward to beat him up.

In fact, the several metallurgists who had been defeated just now had all heard the dwarf’s words and gotten a great shock as well. However, in the hearts of the metallurgists of the Rotterdam, Master Russell was a godly existence in the field of alchemy. They could not tolerate the slightest blasphemy against him from others.

More importantly, Russell, who was known as the best metallurgist, also represented the greatest achievements in the development of the entire Rotterdam Kingdom. If Russell’s standards in alchemy were doubted, it seemed to mean that the entire Rotterdam Kingdom was doubted as well. That was not something that the metallurgists of the Rotterdam could accept.

All along, in the hearts of the metallurgists of the Rotterdam, alchemy civilization was definitely the direction of the civilization of the entire world. Magic civilization and religious civilization would be eliminated by history, and they would eventually become the guide to world’s civilization. If the alchemy that they had been proud of, which was the powerful tool to guide the world’s civilization, was criticized and deemed worthless by an outsider not from the Rotterdam, how could they talk about guiding the world’s civilization?

Donald was well aware that his student, Nick, had already reached 70% to 80% of his standards in alchemy, and wouldn’t be easily fooled by the other party. However, if that dwarf genuinely had a higher level of alchemy than Master Russell... Donald wouldn’t believe it. However, fortunately, the Alchemy Colossus was right there, and as long as he carefully inspected it, he would be able to see everything clearly.

Hence, Donald immediately ordered a few metallurgists to carefully examine the Alchemy Colossus that had been damaged. At the same time, he also asked his student Nick and a few other metallurgists to test the Alchemy Colossus that had its Array Circulation Pathway modified. The degree of agility of the Alchemy Colossuses was subject to one’s sensory perception. However, through testing, the data would show if the power consumption had changed or not.

Prince Kanber, who was sitting a short distance away, was enjoying the service of the servants beside him while looking at the metallurgists, whom Donald was instructing, in disdain. Although he was a Sword Sage who was at the peak of the Legendary-realm, he was the prince of the Rotterdam, and was also quite accomplished in alchemy. Hence, he knew how difficult it would be to achieve success in alchemy.

The alchemical civilization of the Rotterdam stood on the foundation of the ancient goblins, and managed to reach such a height after thousands of years of research and development. One condition was the legacy of the ancient goblins, and the other was the research of a nation, both of which were unachievable by any force of today.

Master Russell was able to become the top metallurgist of the Rotterdam because he grew up in the environment of the Rotterdam Kingdom. He had an unparalleled foundation for research and the support of an entire kingdom. That was how he’d managed to achieve what he had. Master Russell’s level of alchemy also represented the pinnacle of the entire Rotterdam Kingdom’s standards of alchemy.

Hence, Kanber definitely wouldn’t believe that there would be anyone outside the Rotterdam Kingdom whose level of alchemy could surpass that pinnacle. However, due to Donald’s prestige, he simply looked on indifferently without opposing him.

Under Donald’s orders, many metallurgists began to get busy, and the Alchemy Colossuses that had just been repaired were soon opened up. Soon, the parts that had been repaired were presented in front of everyone.

When Angelano was repairing the Alchemy Colossuses just now, the metallurgists did not bother looking carefully at all. One reason was that Angelano’s movements were too quick, and the other was that they didn’t believe that a funny-looking dwarf would repair the Alchemy Colossuses.

After looking at the repaired parts carefully, the metallurgists were instantly dumbfounded. They couldn’t believe that that was how their Alchemy Colossuses were repaired. There were strange items stuffed in the parts, and there was a slight change in some parts. Honestly, after seeing all of that, the first thing they did was not realize how high Angelano’s standards in alchemy were. Instead, they began to suspect if they were hallucinating.

However, the metallurgists who took part in the operation this time were, after all, top talents in the Rotterdam Kingdom, and as they researched and delved deeper, they began to look surprised. There was soon a look of surprise on their faces again. The changes that were not too impressive at first gradually began to seem extraordinary.

The metallurgists who were making disdainful comments about the parts that had been repaired at first gradually stopped discussing. They seemed to have lost their souls as they simply looked on, dumbfounded. There was gradually more suspicion in their eyes, and they seemed to be continuously thinking about something. It was as if their entire minds were drawn in by the inconspicuous changes.

Seeing such a situation, Donald couldn’t care less about waiting for the test results. He immediately stepped forward and began studying the changes of the Alchemy Colossuses together with the metallurgists. Donald’s attainments in alchemy were, after all, much higher than those of other metallurgists. Hence, he soon saw the amazing changes.

Donald looked at the Alchemy Colossuses one by one. The more he looked at them, the more he couldn’t suppress his astonishment. Although the changes were subtle, the alchemical theory underlying them made him feel like he had gotten an eyeopener.
