Master of Thermodynamics

There are two abilities known to the devil.

The first is to create shadows, or "shadows".

The devil can use [Shadow Technique] to create a large shadow and completely cover his body.

The shadow technique is only suitable for use at night. With the cover of night, it is difficult for anyone to find the devil. If it is used during the day, the shadow will expose its position.

This is why the devil always acts at night.

This made Renault immediately think of "scout".

There is no doubt that the devil who possesses [Shadow Art] is a natural pioneer scout.

This made him unable to help but speculate, could it be that the purpose of this devil came to this world to understand the human condition and prepare for future invasions?

Where did it come from?

How did it come to this world?

The second ability of the devil is very strange and extremely evil.

According to Little Eriksson, when the devil first appeared, his body was so weak that even he could easily kill the devil.

But as the demons slaughtered more and more civilians, its strength became stronger and stronger, and even the Awakened could be easily killed later.

The answer is obvious, the devil can gain power from killing, or in other words, restore power.

Considering that the devil likes to **** human brains and eat the heart and liver, does this mean that this is the secret of the devil's recovery of strength?

Probably!

Renault's "Book of Thermodynamics" also has similar characteristics. According to his experience, most "souls" are actually concentrated in the head.

Therefore, Renault is certain that the devil’s brain-eating behavior is by no means accidental. It can absorb magic energy and restore strength through this method. The devil’s hunting of humans is simply “replenishing demons”.

Compared with the "Book of Thermodynamics", although the devil's ability to "replenish demons" has the same effect, but it is essentially a lot lower, because it can only "restore" the depleted mana energy, and cannot increase the upper limit of the mana energy.

This is a matter of course.

If the devil can also increase the upper limit of mana through killing like Renault, then the world has long been ruled by the devil, where is there anything human?

This is so, Renault has also become extremely vigilant towards the devil.

Because of all the signs that the devil is definitely a tough race, and also a more dangerous race than the black orcs.

In the next two days, the subsequent effects of Earl Eriksson's killing began to gradually ferment.

Under the pressure of the nobles, the staff of the Knights and the Public Security Department searched the city for traces of the devil day and night. Every household was carefully searched by the security team. The city of Starfish became extremely deserted. The major chambers of commerce cleared the gates and thanked the guests. Pedestrians can hardly be seen above.

But all this has no effect on the Haichao Chamber of Commerce.

No one who is not eye-opening dared to search the manor leased by the Haichao Chamber of Commerce, because of the death of Schroder, Moose became the only extraordinary person in Starfish City.

Now on Haixing Island, the nobles are in danger. These greedy guys who are afraid of death also hope that Moose can withstand the devil at a critical moment. How could it be possible to offend the Haichao Chamber of Commerce at this time?

The Count’s eldest son, Yerkes, even visited Moose in person and tried to invite Moose to join the Knights and serve as the head of the Knights with an annual salary of 1,000 Kinnar.

But Moose rejected Yerkes on the grounds that he "has sworn allegiance," and he was extremely disappointed.

Renault ignored the disturbances from the outside world and stayed in an abandoned building in the outer suburbs of Starfish City.

According to Jr. Eriksson’s account, this is where the devil hides.

Unfortunately, the devil never appeared.

Perhaps it was Renault's "pretending to be the devil and killing the earl" that made it alert, or perhaps the disappearance of little Eriksson alarmed it. In two full days, Renault did not sense the breath of the devil.

Late the next night, Renault was really impatient to wait. He also took advantage of the night to go to the Baron Winston and searched the forest near the castle, but he still didn't find it.

Obviously, the devil's alertness is beyond everyone's imagination.

Early in the morning on the third day, the port got busy.

Two sets of magic slings were erected on the pier, and bags of wheat and bundles of linen were hoisted to the Odin and Haichao. Sailors ran around on the deck with their carts.

Hundreds of slaves waited quietly on the dock. Once the goods were loaded on the ship, it was their turn to board the ship.

Not only did these slaves not feel uneasy or worried, but everyone looked forward to it.

Because they have formally signed an agreement with the Haichao Chamber of Commerce, regardless of men, women and children, as long as they work for the Chamber of Commerce for free for two years, they will regain their freedom.

Even children are no exception, but their years of service start after they reach 15 years of age.

In addition, there is an extra clause in the children’s agreement: Before reaching the age of 15 years, the Department of Government has guardianship.

When the agreement was signed, no "little slaves" objected because the "custodial rights" clause was very beneficial to them.

It is specifically stated in the clause that no beatings and abuses are allowed, no abuse is allowed, food and clothing must be guaranteed, basic housing rights must be guaranteed, a certain amount of personal freedom, and the most important right to education must be guaranteed.

That's right, these children will receive a unified education from the Office of Government Affairs, and there will be someone who will teach them general writing, arithmetic, and especially gifted children will receive further education.

With the increasing scale of Haichaoling's industrialization, there is an increasing desire for talents. Compared with workers who can only work hard, the Government Affairs Department needs workers who can read and write.

In this regard, children are far more malleable than adults, so Renault decided to provide them with free education, at least let them learn to read and write in general.

Each item in the agreement is what these "little slaves" dream of. Therefore, when the Chamber of Commerce employees explained the meaning of the terms for them, they couldn't wait to sign the agreement.

Although they didn't understand what the "Administrative Affairs Office" was, they suddenly had a deep impression of it.

Take care of food and shelter, and teach you to read and write. Where is the slave owner in the "Administrative Affairs Department", it is obviously your biological parents!

As usual, the noise made by the Haichao Chamber of Commerce attracted many civilians onlookers, and the wharf became crowded and lively.

There was a corner that caught Renault's attention, because there were several painters standing there, with wooden easels and drawing boards in front of them. While drawing on the drawing boards, the painters were discussing with people around them from time to time.

Renault turned his head and glanced at Elon next to him, and asked curiously:

"Are those painters painting our sailboats?"

Elon replied with a smile:

"Yes, sir, these people have been at the pier for 3 days..."

"I think they are mapping the'trisana' structure of the Odin and Haichao. They probably think that the'trimaran' is the ultimate mystery of the Haichao Chamber of Commerce to conquer the storm season."

"You must have noticed that every painter has an assistant next to him. I guess these assistants are mostly shipbuilders. With the cooperation of painters and craftsmen, the structure of the'trimaran' can be drawn more accurately."

"This should be the arrangement of a certain shipbuilding workshop, the purpose is to imitate our trimaran..."

Renault couldn't help but laugh.

These turtles are really naive.

The Ocean Tide Chamber of Commerce can set sail during the storm season, and the trimaran has 10% of the credit. The most critical factor is the thermal engine hidden in the power cabin.

If there is no extra power, the sailboat can only sail in a half-sail state, and the speed will be ridiculously slow. Going to sea at this speed is simply a death.

In the storm season, terrible storms may occur on the ocean at any time. If the speed is not enough, once a storm is encountered, the sailing boat will not be able to rush to the safe shelter in time, and the end must be the ship's destruction.

And the manufacture of trimaran is not as easy as the turtles imagined.

Can a trimaran be built by copying the structure?

A fool would think so!

The core of building a trimaran is the material!

There must be steel with sufficient performance to ensure the super high strength of the wing, so as to resist the turbulence everywhere.

With the touching "probabilistic steelmaking method" of the turtles, it will take another 100 years to smelt high enough steel.

Renault has foreseen that the copycat version of the trimaran will become an extra-large "cup", and the first batch of turtles driving the copycat trimaran will die ugly.

Two hours later, with Elon's order, the Odin and Haichao slowly left the berth.

It's time to go home.
