Only professionals who have teamed up with a machinist on an adventure can understand how much having such a strong partner can improve the quality of life during adventures.

After dismantling the motor vehicle and putting it into the dimensional bag, the group rode the Phantom Horse back to Tonglu City.

At this time, the riots in the city had been suppressed, and Marki, the master of the Tower of Strange Machinery, relied on his own strength to seize control of those mechanical soldiers.

Looking at the densely packed mechanical soldiers standing on the street, Carl was actually a little scared.

He didn't know there were so many of them before, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to fight them even if he had the courage.

"Come to think of it, I know one of the masterminds of this matter. I studied with him under Marix, who created the Dragon Mark Family."

As they approached the crime scene, Morbankin suddenly became melancholy, which was unusual for him.

I don’t know if his sentimentality and entanglement was because he was about to face his old friends or for some other reason.

"Moorban? You're here."

In the residence of the Tongtonglongwen family, March looked at Mooreban with the same indifferent expression as always.

Things in Tonglu City were as easy as taking a walk for him.

"Tower Master."

After bowing, Mooreban took a quick look at the old magic artilleryman who was caught by March.

The other person no longer had anything in common with the way he remembered him, except for that unyielding look in his eyes, which remained the same as before.

Without talking to the other party, Mooreban discussed the next steps directly with March.

The person in charge of the Tongxing Longwen family here came over and talked to the two of them.

The depressing atmosphere made Carl feel a little uncomfortable, so he took off his helmet and picked up the tea and snacks beside him and started eating.

"Ouch! What are you doing!?"

Seeing Carl behaving like this, the thin-skinned Nia immediately stepped forward to stop him.

But she was caught off guard and Karl stuffed a piece of dessert into her mouth.

Lisanna followed Carl's steps with shining eyes, and the two Eruden people ate and drank in the Andelian territory.

"What's wrong with eating some of his food? We helped them eliminate such a big hidden danger this time, he should thank us!"

It’s not that Carl was craving for such a small thing, but mainly because he did have low blood sugar after driving the Titan Warforged Armor and needed some sugar replenishment.

As for Lisanna, well, she was just plain greedy.

I don't know how much time had passed, but Marchi and the head of the Dragonmark Family seemed to have finally reached some kind of tacit understanding, so the two sides finally shook hands and made peace.

Seeing this harmonious scene, Carl burped and poured himself a cup of tea to calm down.

"This must be the hero of the Tower of Wonders, right? Oh! This time it's all thanks to him. Otherwise, if these traitors had accumulated enough prototypes, Tonglu City would be in danger!"

Pretending to have just seen Carl, the head of the Dragon Mark Family walked up to Carl with a smile on his face and shook his hands.

But he and March had caught glimpses of Carl more than once while he was having snacks.

Knowing when to say something is also a skill.

"No, no, it's just a coincidence. This incident was made possible thanks to these two spies from the Kingdom's Eye. I'll have to ask you to take care of the follow-up matters."

As he spoke, March waved to Cass and Red.

Cass and Hong pointed at themselves in surprise, then obediently walked forward and joined the subsequent discussion.

Of course, it is impossible to inform ordinary citizens of Andel through the phantom device.

Although it is true that some new nobles intend to seize the throne of Andel, we cannot condemn them all with one stroke.

Many aspects of Andel still need the help of these new nobles.

At this time, the existence of the Eye of the Kingdom plays a good lubricating role.

Carl was not very interested in the topics of these "adults". Seeing that the tower master and others would probably talk for a long time, he simply took Nia and others to sit on the chairs and wait.

You know what, it’s worthy of being the reception room of the Dragon Mark Family. The comfort of the chairs is not much worse than those in the Storm Palace or the Golden Dragon Hotel.

I don’t know how much time passed, the conversation stopped, and Carl opened his eyes with a confused look on his face. His gaze was as pure as an academic locust attending an academic seminar with his supervisor.

"Hmm? It's over?"

Rubbing his eyes, Carl confirmed with Mooreban.

Mooreban glared at his apprentice unhappily, then simply took them on the teleportation array back to the Tower of Wonders.

He had originally been planning to find an opportunity for his apprentice to show up in the subsequent Phantom recordings, and maybe even have Queen Andel award him a medal of honor such as the Good Citizen Medal.

As a result, Carl fell asleep and even snored faintly.

"If you had shown some performance just now, maybe your chance to inherit my position would have been secured."

Reappearing at the teleportation square of Akanix, Mooreban looked at his apprentice with some regret.

"Master, I still want to go out and see the world. I want to stay in school directly after graduation...Nia might be more suitable."

He did not hide anything in front of his master.

This made Mooreban unable to help but look at him twice more.

"I didn't expect you to be such a master at pretending to be stupid. But that's okay. With your grades, you don't have to do this even if you want to stay in school."

But at this point, Mooreban sighed.

Carl might not be his most talented apprentice, but he most wanted Carl to succeed him.

If Carl could be more proactive, the tower master might agree to it.

But now…

Shaking his head, Mooreban whispered, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings," and stopped worrying about it.

…

A month later, the management internship for the first half of the third year of the Artifact Master ended. Carl returned the Voodoo Workshop and returned to the Artifact Tower to prepare for the final exam.

The previous incident of the War Forged's rebellion has now been concluded, and Queen Andel informed the people of Andel of the whole incident after discussion through the phantom device.

A large number of new nobles fell from power because of this incident, and even the family of the prefect who had helped Carl and whose family was a military construct manufacturer was involved in a lawsuit.

The influence of the Golden Power Society in the Andel region suffered a severe blow, and the Queen of Andel took the opportunity to clear out many Golden Power Society merchants who were related to this incident from the Andel region.

There are no special protection regulations for merchants in Khorvaire. When Queen Andel expelled their business, local merchants immediately filled the vacancy.

With the existence of Akanix, Andel will never lack partners for all its businesses.

Cass and Hong played a significant role in this incident and were even promoted to team leaders of the spy team.

When Carl finished his final exams, Cass even came to Akanix to receive professional training courses as an Arcanex Knight with Carl.

Although Carl had no intention of adding spirituality to the core of the Arcane Knight's profession, it must be said that Akanix was indeed good at training the Arcane Knight.

Those mages were of limited level, but scholars who specialized in studying magic theory applied some of the professional characteristics of the battle mages to the arcane knights.

The skills of using magic to interfere with the trajectory of spells and using his own body to buffer the magic have greatly improved Carl's combat capabilities.

It was not until the New Year that Carl returned to Vana City with Lisana.

Hope was on vacation at this time. The long separation did not weaken the feelings between her and Carl. On the contrary, it seemed like a reunion.

Carl and Lisanna told her about their lives in Akanix, and Hope shared with them her training at the Druid Academy.

But compared to Carl and the others, Hope's life is inevitably a bit monotonous.

Carl's aunt was notoriously strict. Although Hope was able to endure hardships, she still complained bitterly about the training under her.

What surprised Carl was that there was more than one tiefling in the Druid Academy, Hope.

A blue-skinned tiefling from the Devil's Wasteland became Hope's best friend.

The opponent's professional configuration is exactly the same as Hope's, which is a combination of barbarian and druid.

The only difference is that the opponent's barbarian sub-class is Wild Magic, and the druid sub-class is Earth Society.

Carl's father's factory has now become a popular weapons workshop in the city of Vana.

Dual-gun revolvers and matching quivers have now become standard equipment for city rangers.

It is said that even the distant Kwabara (a place similar to the American West combined with the Amazon jungle) has sent merchants to purchase large quantities of equipment from the weapons workshop.

Although this was destined to be a one-time deal, Carl's father Ryan still agreed.

This made Carl understand why he encountered so many enemies using his own weapons some time ago.

In order to keep his workshop at the forefront of the industry, Carl designed and developed an improved version of the Gatling heavy machine gun as well as light and heavy crossbows modeled after Monster Hunter equipment.

When Carl returned to Akanix after the New Year, he heard from the exchange student rangers that these weapons had made many achievements in the Demon Wasteland, and that Bixin City was even going to prepare a medal for Carl.

In the new semester, Carl had some idea about his physical condition, so he basically stayed in the Tower of Wonders to study and practice.

During this time, Lisanna finally made progress in her artificer profession.

Carl made an exception and took her to complete several missions around the area, raising her mechanic level to level 3.

However, Lisanna only had a limited understanding of the basic occupational characteristics and sub-occupational characteristics of the Artificer. Throughout the entire semester, she did not master many of the Artificer's abilities.

This is actually one of the reasons why Carl and Nia have always stayed at a low level. Before you learn and master professional knowledge, upgrading rashly will not bring much increase in your combat effectiveness.

In the noisy college life, Carl helps Lisanna master professional skills while contributing to the fantasy drama career of Benboba and Baboben.

Carl's wealth accumulated rapidly and his professional knowledge became more and more profound.

Time flies, and Carl is in sixth grade.
