Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World Chapter 100

Three years ago, Maltz Kent was bitten by a weird bat when he was out hunting. The wound began to fester and pus when he returned home. After a few days of hard work, he developed a high fever and fell into a coma.

The invited doctors shook their heads straight after seeing it. According to their intentions, the Kent family can directly prepare for the funeral.

Just when the family thought that the earl was about to be called by the Lord, a mysterious figure came to the door.

This is a traveling doctor who claims to be "Barnett", saying that he has a way to save Earl Maltz Kent in his hands.

The people of the Kent family were desperate at this time. Although Barnett was dressed strangely and his image was closer to a barbarian mercenary than a doctor, he still had the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor and let him try it anyway. It can't be any worse than it is now.

Unexpectedly, this man named Barnett was really capable. Through his mysterious medicine, the Earl of Kent quickly woke up from his coma.

It's just that Dr. Barnett didn't allow anyone to watch the Earl's "treatment" process before or after he woke up.

The Kent family was still very grateful to Dr. Barnett, and treated him as a distinguished guest for more than a month.

Only the Earl of Kent knew that the savior named "Barnett" was not a doctor at all.

But a wizard!

Yes, wizards! This serious illness made Maltz Kent aware of this fact:

Wizards and magic are not things made up by the church to scare fools, but really exist in this world.

While his body was still in a coma, his consciousness kept having nightmares:

I am in a huge maze.

He looked for the exit everywhere, but the maze seemed to be moving. When he reached a dead end, he wanted to follow a well-remembered path back to the previous point, but found that the path he had just walked had already changed drastically.

There were no ghastly sights, no frightening monsters, but there was something more terrifying—monotony, an extreme monotony.

As far as the count could see, there was nothing but himself and the brick walls that made up the maze.

The Earl of Kent was soon driven mad by the monotony, and he prayed to the Lord of Light, even if some terrible monster suddenly appeared to frighten him.

After an unknown amount of time, a mysterious voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere, calling his name and guiding him how to walk.

For the Earl, this voice was simply his own savior.

Guided by the mysterious voice, he finally walked out of the maze in his dream. The moment he went out, his body woke up from the coma.

When he opened his eyes, the first thing that caught the earl's eyes was Barnett's face with the mysterious pattern tattooed on it.

For some reason, he was sure that the person in front of him was the owner of the mysterious voice in his head.

"Hello, Mr. Barnett!" These were the first words he said after waking up.

Even he himself didn't know why he could call out the name of the person in front of him, as if he had known him for a long time, although after thinking about it, he still knew nothing about this person except the name "Barnett".

It's not that the Earl had the idea of turning this somewhat evil doctor to the church for "appraisal", but what happened later made this idea disappear without a trace.

During the follow-up "treatment", the Earl of Kent felt more and more strange about the other party. After he mustered up the courage to inquire, Barnett readily admitted that he was a legendary wizard.

"Aren't you afraid that I will notify the church?" He was surprised at the other party's bluntness.

Barnett sneered and said, "I can save your life, but I can also make you die, or even worse than death, not only for you, but also for your entire family!"

The Earl of Kent fought a cold war. Over the years, he has made many enemies and received many threats, but it is the first time that a single sentence can make him so frightened.

What's even more strange is that, apart from the sneer at the beginning, Barnett said this in a very normal tone. Could it be that he has become as timid as a mouse after a serious illness?

After thinking about it, I can only attribute it to the other party's identity as a "wizard". There must be some unknown means to make myself afraid of him.

He temporarily suppressed the idea of notifying the church because he couldn't do without the medicine in Bennett's hands.

At that time, his body was still very weak, he had a constant fever and could not even get out of bed. Once he took the medicine provided by Barnett later, he would feel more serious.

After a period of continuous "treatment" by Barnett, he has an inexplicable sense of dependence on this wizard, as if once he leaves this wizard, he will die soon.

Gradually, a sense of trust emerged from the sense of dependence, a sense of unreserved trust that is not inferior to that of his own son. Even the earl himself was surprised by his transformation. He used to be very familiar with people other than his closest relatives. Have a certain degree of vigilance.

In the process of getting along, he witnessed the other party's various magical abilities, which made him more and more interested in the legendary things like "magic".

"Master!" At some point, he changed to this respectful title for Barnett, "Can I learn magic from you?"

He mustered up the courage to ask this sentence, two human natures: thirst for power, curiosity about the unknown, and magic just meets these two points.

And he also has real motivation. If he masters this mysterious power, then some things will be more convenient, such as raising his title to another level, or filling his money bank more.

After hearing his question, Barnett suddenly laughed wildly, as if the long-awaited thing had finally happened.

But after laughing, he gave a cold answer: "No!"

The Earl of Kent was disappointed: "Why?"

The other party replied: "There are three reasons."

"First, you are too old and have passed the best enlightenment period."

"Secondly, studying magic is an extremely energy-intensive job. Even if you don't suffer from this disease, your current mental state is no longer young, and it is simply not enough to support the study of magic."

"Third, it is still because of your mental state. Even if you are a genius, you can understand the structure of the spell with a little effort, but your mental strength is not enough to support the casting of the spell. If you force it, it may endanger your life." .”

After hearing these three reasons, the Earl of Kent felt that the world seemed to be dark all of a sudden, and the door to a brand new world was closed to him.

Then I heard Barnett muttering: "But..."

He suddenly became excited again: "Master, you have a solution, right?"

He had seldom been this excited since he turned forty.

Sure enough, Barnett said: "I have a secret technique that can strengthen your body and strengthen your spirit. After you use it, although it is still not comparable to those who have been exposed to magic since childhood, if you are lucky, you can also A small achievement."

Seeing a glimmer of hope, the Earl of Kent asked anxiously: "Master, what is the secret technique? Teach it to me!"

So he was taught a kind of health preservation technique: three meals a day, sucking the blood of animals and taking a secret medicine, meditating before going to bed and breathing according to the prescribed rhythm.

Barnett said: "This is an extremely long process, but this secret technique will stop your body from aging, so you don't need to worry about running out of time. When your body and spirit recover to a standard level, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com I will teach you some basic magic, after that it depends on your own hard work and luck."

Finally, he emphasized: "We must not stop, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted."

The Earl of Kent repeatedly stated that he kept it in mind and could stop himself from aging, which is the dream of many nobles.

In the following days, now that the earl had stepped into the world of magic with one foot, Barnett revealed some information to him one after another.

There are still many wizards in this world, and there has been a mysterious and powerful wizarding organization for a long time: the Arcane Society.

This organization has been secretly fighting against the church, providing a safe haven for many wizards who devote themselves to it.

And Barnett is a member of the "Secret Society".

The sudden taboo knowledge gave the earl an inexplicable pleasure, as if he had returned to his childhood when he knew some secrets and felt very great decades ago.

What made him even more ecstatic was that Barnett promised that if his magic could reach a certain level, he would be introduced to this organization.

"Mr. Barnett."

Regardless of whether the other party is willing to accept this title, the Earl of Kent just called it out, and Barnett also acquiesced in this title.

After more than a month, despite the Earl of Kent's persuasion, Barnett was about to leave, but said that he would come back to check on the status of the Earl of Kent's mental power, and teach him magic once it was suitable.

Sure enough, Banai came to Fort Byram several times after another. It was through these meetings that the Earl of Kent learned the tip of the iceberg of the grand plan behind him.

However, what he didn't even realize was that it all happened so naturally since he didn't know when.
