Although the situation was finally settled, he was still hostile and cursed by many classmates, and he even feared that he would be expelled or severely punished.

Fortunately, the new dean comforted him, and afterwards the chief of the Temple Academy also helped him mediate the problems within the academy, and stability was gradually restored.

After leaving school, because of the major incident that happened during his time at school, many workshops and factions refused to accept him, and he then went through a period of decadence.

Alchemy requires a lot of materials, as well as craftsmanship and the coordination of instruments. It would be very difficult for ordinary people to carry out it alone.

Until one day, he received an invitation letter from a large chamber of commerce in Verga, named Carites.

At first he didn't know the background of this chamber of commerce. Because the salary promised in the letter was not low, he boarded the ship to Hopeland with half belief and half doubt.

After arriving there, he was well received and then assigned to a key workshop in the Chamber of Commerce to participate in the development of new warships.

That period was the time when he grew the fastest. He greedily absorbed the new knowledge and skills conveyed in those manuscripts, and then immediately put them into practice, constantly deepening his learning and adjustments.

By the time the war broke out and the battleship was completed, he had become a qualified high-level alchemist.

After the war, the development and design of the battleship came to an end, and he was sent to Crania to support construction, and then gradually settled here.

Later, when the empire marched westward, he moved and hid in the mountains with his colleagues in the agency, designing and developing new war machines, and then was responsible for the construction and supervision of the arsenal.

By the time it was all over, he was 35 years old and had become a high-ranking member of the Mechanical Alchemist Association under the Industrial Sector.

Later on, for the industrial development of Crancia, we had to search for many necessary mineral deposits, and this work took another ten years.

"Time is so cruel."

Jack opened the lid of the bottle and slowly poured a small sip into his mouth. Mixed with the fragrance of goat's milk and wine, a stream of cool liquid flowed through his throat, and then became hot again.

Facing the firelight, Jack slowly flipped through the notes. Many pages were stained with oil and dirt, and the nostalgic memories of the past were awakened one by one.

After leaving Emenas, he experienced the loss after graduation, the ecstasy of being accepted, the joy of absorption, the sudden realization after the war, and then the loneliness of traveling around.

Looking back on my time in Emenas, I am filled with emotion about how green and immature I was back then.

Because I was too young and had too many expectations for quick success, I almost went down the wrong path.

But now...

He took the bottle and walked slowly to the window. The firelight in the house shone on the glass, vaguely reflecting his bearded face.

Judging from the face reflected in the glass, Jack is probably only in his 30s. This is also the effect brought by the extraordinary sequence, which can delay aging.

I have come out of the wrong path I was on.

Although he had gone through many hardships, Jack also felt a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.

Three days later, in the capital of Witz Province, the Sword Forging City.

Although it is winter, it is still bustling here. Carriages and pedestrians can be seen everywhere on the streets, and there are lively figures everywhere. A long whistle can be heard from the mountains not far away. That is the sound of the train about to arrive.

"Master Jena, a high-ranking alchemist wishes to see you. He has produced his professional certification and documents from the Ministry of Industry."

In a tall office, a woman in a black and white professional dress is working. She is wearing glasses and a white pleated scarf on her chest. A rare saber is hanging on the wall next to her.

"Oh, did he say his name?" Jenna quickly made checks and comments on the document, then asked the secretary in front of her.

"His name is Jack. According to his certificate, he is a senior mechanical alchemist and has been awarded the Silver Star."

"Jack?"

Jenna pondered the name, as if remembering something.

"As for her appearance, she has short gray-blonde hair and wears a long black trench coat."

"Yes, do you know him?"

"Well, I roughly understand." Jenna finished writing the last comment, then closed the document in her hand and put down the pen.

This intellectual beauty raised her head, revealing emerald eyes beneath her black hair. She stood up and put on the coat beside her.

"Take me to see him, he's my senior."

Jenna looked at the saber on the wall, paused for a moment, then took it down and hung it around her waist, which added a heroic air to her appearance.

Although it was strange that Lady Jenna was wearing a sword today, the secretary still quickly went to lead the way for her. The clerks passing by in the corridor nodded and greeted Jenna when they saw her.

As the founder and leader of the 'Sword Forging School', Jenna has a great influence in this mountainous province.

In the past, the 'Long Spear Faction' and the 'Hunting Bow Faction' were fighting, and then the 'Long Spear Faction' joined the Frost Alliance, dragging Black Rock into the war and bringing many disasters to the people of this land.

Later, the coalition forces of Cransia and Gufia Grassland liberated the Black Rock area, and the Sword Forging Sect led the local residents to gradually rebuild their homes, and formulated new laws and systems, gradually gaining the recognition and support of the residents.

After that, Black Rock was incorporated into Clancy, and Jenna continued to perform her previous duties as the highest official of the Witz Province.

After walking through the long corridor, the two arrived at the hall, and Jenna saw the alchemist sitting in the corner at a glance.

"Senior Jack." She walked over and greeted him first.
