Chapter Seventy-Six: Jerome Vanko Jerome Vanke, the youngest disciple of the president of the Alchemy Guild, is also known as the most genius alchemist, became a junior alchemist at the age of twelve, and by the age of eighteen Jerome was already one step away from the alchemist master, and ordinary people need more than twenty years to advance The journey for Jerome only takes six years to reach the end soon.
But just when Jerome Vanke was at his most high-spirited, a bad news fell from the sky, Jerome, who stayed in the Alchemist Guild of the Royal Capital because he was preparing to become an alchemist master, waited for not the blessing of others after the success of the advancement, but the bad news of his teacher.
However, Jerome Vanke was not depressed, although the death of the teacher devastated Jerome Vanke, but after all, Jerome still has many alchemists around him who support him, and after becoming an alchemist master, Jerome already has a part of the right to speak in the Alchemist Association, and Jerome, who has long been designated as the successor of the guild, regards the Alchemy Guild as his private property as a matter of course, and works hard to run the Alchemy Guild, which is not as good as before.
However, Jerome's bad luck did not end here, when the old king was seriously ill, in order to revive the Alchemy Guild, Jerome caught up with His Royal Highness Brent, the second prince who was in the limelight at the time, through an introduction, but he didn't expect that the old king suddenly died the day after meeting His Royal Highness Brent!
Subsequently, the second prince Brent, with the support of several princes and princesses, unexpectedly announced that he would become the next king.
This apparent non-propriety gave Jerome a hint of something bad.
Sure enough, on the third day of the second prince's reign, the eldest prince Edward issued a declaration of rebellion, and then a group of soldiers rushed into the Alchemists' Guild, according to the order of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, in order to fight against the rebel prince, the second prince had to collect all the city building plans kept inside the Alchemists' Guild.
It is impossible for an alchemist to rebel against the royal power, even if the origin of the royal power is not legitimate.
Therefore, Jerome could only watch as the soldiers moved the alchemy guild's database to the sky, and what was removed not only included the architectural drawings of almost all the city levels in the human kingdom, but also a large number of research results on goblin civilization, which was discovered later when Jerome counted the losses.
Jerome, who had suffered a huge loss, could only become a complete second prince faction at this time, and he sincerely hoped that His Royal Highness the Second Prince could win this battle for the throne, then he might still be able to get those materials back, and it was even possible to get His Royal Highness the Second Prince's appreciation to revive the Alchemist Guild.
However, it seems that Lady Luck felt that the attention given to him when Jerome was young was too much, Jerome's hopes were once again disappointed, the eldest prince Edward was able to kill back to the inner realm, and all the nobles suddenly began to remain neutral at this time, and even fell directly to the eldest prince, and the second prince Brent's throne was not yet hot before he lost everything in a siege battle.
Is there a fool who can become an alchemist?
They may have a very low EQ, but their IQ is definitely not bad, seeing that the second prince is gone, Jerome did a very wise thing, he took advantage of the chaos of the eldest prince's invasion of the city to set a fire in the database of his own union, and made a few corpses to create the illusion that the Alchemy Guild was attacked.
In this way, the loss of the alchemy guild's database was deducted from the war, although it was a bit absurd, but it was not impossible for the alchemist guild that had already sunset.
Later, the palace database was also destroyed, which allowed Jerome to completely clear the charge of losing important information.
Originally, Jerome thought that his bad luck had passed, and the new king would inevitably reuse newcomers when he ascended the throne, as he was also a young man, he would inevitably be appreciated by Edward with his superb alchemy, but he didn't expect that the first thing Edward did after controlling the royal capital to suppress the rebellion was to repair the beast blood fortress, and Jerome, who heard the news, was blinded at that time, although Jerome also majored in the manufacture of a large-scale alchemy array, but he had not yet reached the point where he could study the peak of alchemy in the beast blood fortress, Therefore, his teacher had never shown him the alchemy array structure diagram of the Beast Blood Fortress, and now that the information of the Alchemy Guild was taken away by the second prince, he did not know where to go, and the database in the palace was destroyed, which made him go to find a way to repair the Beast Blood Fortress.
In this way, Jerome was blasted out less than five minutes after meeting Edward, and Jerome silently returned to the Alchemist's Guild under the mocking gaze of everyone in the palace, and plunged headlong into the laboratory.
Half a month later, a country alchemist named Blake Rodnik came to the royal capital, this alchemist deceived Edward and the Supreme Council with a set of fallacies, and asked the Supreme Council to replace the beast blood fortress with his iron shell and burning stick, and this unscrupulous guy even held a nondescript concert in the royal capital, just to promote the instruments he made.
When Jerome heard the news, all his anger was transferred to this previously unknown high-level alchemist, who seemed to him to be the glory that should have belonged to him, and the alchemy that should have flourished after him, went down the wrong path in the hands of this alchemist who loved cheap explosives.
"Alchemy isn't one of those things that doesn't even have an alchemy circuit!"
Jerome was angry but didn't do anything despicable, and the young genius had packed his bags and gone to the Beast Blood Fortress before the events in the royal capital, and stayed for four years.
In the past four years, he not only completely restored the defensive alchemy array according to the remnants of the Alchemy Array of the Beast Blood Fortress, but also redesigned the wall structure of the Beast Blood Fortress.
Jerome's genius and diligence were praised by the entire Northwest Legion, and if it weren't for Joan of Arc having already been married to the third son of the Torre family, the Legion Commander would even want to recruit Jerome Vanco as his son-in-law and let him stay in the Northwest forever.
And today, the evil alchemist who insulted Jerome's alchemy concept is about to participate in the ceremony of the completion of the Beast Blood Fortress, and Jerome wants to tell him with facts that alchemy is not something that those evil creatures can touch, and the Beast Blood Fortress will become a fortress that will never fall, a nightmare for the orcs.
Dangdang, there was a sharp knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Jerome's memories were interrupted here, and he rubbed his face with his hand to soften his expression before calling the man in the door.
"Master Jerome, the Earl of Rodnik has arrived."
The team leader said respectfully as he entered Jerome's lab.
"Okay, I'll be right over, thank you for the notice."
Jerome replied with a smile.
"It is my honor to serve the master."
The squad leader tapped his fist on the iron armor on his chest and saluted Jerome.
Zhao Yannian was sitting in a reception room in the Northwest Army garrison at this time, because the invitation asked to first gather at the Northwest Army garrison and then visit the Beast Blood Fortress under the unified arrangement of the Northwest Army, Zhao Yannian had no choice but to take the airship to the Northwest Military City, which was two hundred kilometers away from the Beast Blood Fortress.
The Northwest Military City is the largest city in the Northwest Wasteland, it is like a nail nailed to the front of the Northwest Plains, every time the Orcs invade, the Orcs will divide more than half of their forces to surround this iron-blooded city composed of complete soldiers and military families, but unlike the Beast Blood Fortress, this city has never been captured for hundreds of years, maybe the Orcs feel that this city is not only difficult to gnaw and has no beneficial relationship, but I don't know when some kind of tacit understanding has been formed between the Northwest Army and the Orcs, Every time the orcs break through the beast blood fortress, they will divide half of their forces to surround the military city, and then take turns to send troops to raid and plunder in the northwest, while the legend and main force of the northwest legion will stay in the city and fight with the orcs.
After Zhao Yannian's airship came to the sky above the military city, it was led by a knight riding a flying demonic beast to land in a special venue for docking airships.
This time, Zhao Yannian brought ten blade dancers equipped with exoskeleton armor, fifty fanatics equipped with enhanced first-generation power armor, and ten propeller fighters equipped with heavy machine guns and aerial bombs.
As the Rodnik Lords were building the railroad from Emerald Wind to Digan, Caroline, as the leader of the Dark Elf forces, did not follow.
The power armor of the Zealots was so heavy that the airship load was almost consumed by these humanoid monsters made of steel muscles.
As for the propeller fighter, it is the standard escort configuration of the airship, Zhao Yannian currently has no plans to create a supersonic fighter for the kingdom, because after the supersonic speed, the combat mode of the aircraft has changed greatly, the propeller fighter uses machine guns to fight in the sky, while the supersonic fighter relies on high speed and maneuver to lock on to the other party and then use missiles to decide the winner.
This is a complete waste of performance in the current world.
Guided by the flying knight off the airship, Zhao Yannian was led to this reception room with his dark elf guards, and after the maid brought snacks and tea, Zhao Yannian found that he seemed to be deliberately hanging here.
For two full hours, Zhao Yannian drank tea and ate snacks, and teased the female dark elves one by one from No. 1 to No. 10, but still no one cared about him.
"It looks like it's almost lunchtime."
Zhao Yannian touched his stomach and turned around and said to the female dark elves standing neatly behind the sofa where he was sitting.

"Yes, master, we're all starving to death."
The Dark Elves immediately spoiled him.
"In that case!
Let's have dinner!
Zhao Yannian said with a smile.
When Jerome arrived at the reception room, he saw a steaming scene, a huge iron pot on the coffee table in the reception room, full of meat, vegetables and mushrooms, boiling in the pot, and a young man with black hair eating under the service of a group of evil and bewitching dark elves.
Hearing the sound of the door, the man who turned his head and Jerome's eyes collided.
"Would you like to have a bite to eat?"
The man asked Jerome with two wooden sticks holding a large slice of flesh that had been scalded white by boiling water.
