Chapter 128: I Find Myself Particularly Annoying

Chapter 128: I Find Myself Particularly Annoying

It seemed many Engineers knew Magic. With their cooperation, the repair progress was very fast. Plus, with Louis helping a little, more than half could be fixed today.

While the Engineers were repairing the mech, Louis looked at a huge chain sea anchor in the hall. This thing didn’t seem to be for a ship. After asking Archie, Louis learned that Warhammer of the God of War took this order—it was customized for the Sea King clan. He didn’t know what they planned to use it for on the sea floor.

Louis wanted to modify the big circular saw into this.

“Can we swap it? The chainsaw is a bit too gory,” Louis said.

“This…” Looking at the huge sea anchor, the Engineers widened their eyes, dumbfounded—wasn’t this thing even more gory? And it was as big as a small rockery. Never mind hitting someone; when you swung it, wouldn’t it just pull the armor along and send it flying?

“Mr. Louis, this might be a bit inappropriate,” the Grand Engineer said hesitantly. “After attaching it, many problems might arise.”

“There won’t be any problems.” Louis reached out and grabbed. Then the space in front of him rippled, and the huge sea anchor, resembling the rockery landscape in a residential area, suddenly appeared before him.

Amid everyone’s stunned expressions, Louis reached out and gave the chain a hard pull. He found it actually didn’t break. Upon closer inspection, he noticed the chain contained elements like magic iron and Titan iron. Probably even a dragon couldn’t break it.

Then he covered his mouth and made a blowing motion. Immediately, the huge sea anchor began to grow larger and larger, like a balloon!

For a moment, fierce winds surged in the hall. It seemed all the surrounding air was sucked away. And the thing’s shape slowly changed into that of a six-sided Meteor Hammer!

Soon the thing was as big as a house. Finally, it slowly floated in mid-air. It seemed to have lost its weight.

But when this huge thing lightly touched the dome, it shattered a piece of the dome’s statue—it seemed the weight was gone, but its mass and inertia were enormous. It was much, much bigger than before.

Louis stretched out his hand and wrote a few characters in the air towards the big Meteor Hammer—1000t.

Yingling and others gaped, looking at Louis with that kind of expression.

“Fake,” Louis smiled and said. “Just scribbled randomly. It’s just filled with air inside.”

Yingling and Lilith nodded woodenly—it must be fake, probably an illusion. They didn’t expect this kid to be quite good at playing with illusions.

But Archie looked at the big Meteor Hammer, the corner of his mouth twitching violently.

“There won’t be any problems,” Louis patted Lant’s small head and said. “Put it on. I believe in you.”

The Engineers ultimately followed Louis’s improvement suggestion. Louis couldn’t help but nod with satisfaction.

Such a good, big slab of material, and the material is so good—it would be a shame not to use it.

Archie suddenly pulled Louis aside, indicating he had recorded video today and planned to show it to the King.

Louis nodded in agreement.

His Majesty ‘Ign’ should also be able to create something at this level.

That morning, Archie left first. While the Engineers repaired the Son of Lant, Louis used the crystal’s energy to add a bunch of Buffs to various parts of the Son of Lant. This was to prevent it from falling apart again during his match.

Especially that big Meteor Hammer. If he didn’t add Buffs properly, one swing could easily send the Son of Lant flying and breaking apart.

Although the Son of Lant’s material wasn’t very suitable for enchanting, Louis felt that after he forcefully enchanted it, the effects would last for a few days without a problem. By then, this big guy would be sturdy enough. At least, swinging that big Meteor Hammer shouldn’t be a problem.

When the time came, as long as he was a little careful and didn’t play too hard, nothing would happen.

By the time they finished, it was almost evening. Everyone ate a meal there. They drank tea and discussed for a while. When the discussions were mostly done, Louis called over Yingling, who had been smoking and quietly observing from the sidelines, and brought Lilith along. They prepared to return to the hotel.

Perhaps because the Magic Fireplace was used today and the King caught him out, the King ordered someone to dismantle that fireplace—it wasn’t good to let Wizards come and go freely in such a place.

However, Archie had already arranged a vehicle, so the group finally rode towards the hotel.

Unlike Kate’s vehicle, Archie’s vehicle had four seats facing each other in the back. Louis and Yingling sat facing each other.

On the road, Yingling, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

“Louis, are you really planning to join this conflict?”

In her view, Louis was only helping Ocris, but this matter had gotten a bit too big.

“Is there something wrong?” Louis knew Yingling was very knowledgeable; she knew a lot about various information and news. So he knew Yingling had an underlying meaning in her words.

“Louis,” Yingling said, narrowing her eyes. “At its core, this matter is the entanglement between Her Majesty Delphinia and the Red Queen. By getting involved, the Witch Queen might not appreciate it, but you will certainly anger the Red Queen.”

“Heh, I’m not afraid of offending people,” Louis looked at Yingling with a smile and said. “I find myself particularly annoying; otherwise, people would find me annoying too.”

Yingling shook her head, feeling she understood this guy less and less.

She heard Archie say that Louis seemed to want to bring the Mystery Nursing Home to Englen City, turning it into an independent department-level unit. Then he would be the director.

But was it necessary to make this so big?

This would definitely offend the Red Queen.

Thinking of that Red Queen, Yingling felt some fear.

There were rumors she once seriously wounded the Dark Lord (actually killed him once; the Mirror broke).

Maybe after this, she would have to beg her Master. Otherwise, Ocris’s little Knight would be in trouble. Then, Ocris would lose an important pillar of support.

But why would her Master help a strange little Wizard?

Even she hadn’t seen her Master for a long time…

Would He have forgotten her…

Thinking of this, Yingling quietly wiped a tear and sniffed.

A faint, familiar scent drifted into Yingling’s nose again. But when she tried to sniff carefully, the scent seemed to disappear.

Pulling the blanket covering her, Yingling’s expression turned a bit strange.

She always felt something was off somewhere.

When they returned to the hotel, Louis saw Stuart at the entrance.

Stuart went with the Princess today, so it seemed Ocris was back too.

“Her Highness is currently in her suite, having tea and chatting with the Mages,” Stuart said with an ingratiating smile. “You don’t know, today when those nobles saw these Mages, they were dumbfounded. Originally, many nobles from the Queen’s faction were lukewarm towards Her Highness. But today, many changed their attitudes, hoping to get to know the Mages through Her Highness.”

Louis nodded. Today he had Bach call over the famous Mages from the association. Many Mages were both famous and held real power as nobles. So the support was definitely substantial.

“In the end, Her Highness even went on stage and gave a speech—fortunately, I was prepared and wrote a speech draft,” Stuart couldn’t help but smile proudly. It very much had the feeling of an old Eunuch seeing his young master steal the show, feeling pleased inside.

Louis nodded, knowing Stuart had worked hard running around today. Just as he wanted to praise Stuart a couple of times, he noticed Yingling kept sneakily glancing at him. So he didn’t say more.

Arguing with Yingling these past couple of days had been quite fun. He wanted to play a bit longer.

“By the way, Sir, there’s another important matter,” Stuart said. “The staff told me Earl Crowley called you several times today. When you have time, please return his call.”

“Understood. Miss Yingling, Miss Lilith, please go ahead with Sir Stuart.” After saying this, Louis gave a slight bow, bid farewell, and went back to his room to make the call.

“Uh… Sister, I’m going back to my room to change clothes,” Lilith’s eyes darted around. After saying this, she tried to leave.

But as soon as she took a step, her sister grabbed her tail: “Go get my smoking pipe for me—if I don’t see you in Her Highness’s suite in three minutes, I’ll pluck out your fur.”

Lilith’s ears drooped in fright, and she obediently went.

Yingling scrutinized Stuart for a moment.

She never knew Stuart was also ‘one of us,’ so she hadn’t paid attention to Stuart before. But today she felt something was off.

Pol was a person from her Master’s side. Stuart and Pol were very close. So, could the two also have a connection with her Master?

Yingling’s eyes darted around as she tried a bluff.

“The tasks Master recently assigned you, have they all been taken care of?” Yingling tapped her Smoking Pipe and said quietly.
