When Gust and Alex finished reading the first episode, they were both overwhelmed with emotion.
Gust was completely attracted by this setting. Humans were actually summoned as familiars. This setting was so novel. He seemed to see the door to a whole new world slowly opening. He had completely fallen and been brought into the story of Saito, and his mind was full of how the subsequent plot would develop.
As for Electrolux, he was also very interested in this story. He stared at the comic book, eager to know what kind of wonderful adventure would happen next.
This way of presenting stories through paintings was so new to them. It was the first time they had seen it. It was like opening a window to another world.
Gust's face flushed with excitement. He quickly ran to Merlin's side and asked anxiously, "What's next? What's next?"
Merlin pretended to be tired and said calmly, "Continuation? As an observer, I can only see up to this point. Let me take a rest and I will draw the subsequent story for you!"
Gust looked at Merlin excitedly: "Really? This is really great."
Merlin frowned slightly and said helplessly, "Of course it's true, but you have to know that it's very tiring for me to activate the Eye of the God of War to watch the second dimension. It consumes my mind very much. Moreover, my teacher and I have encountered difficulties in the field of alchemy recently. I have to devote myself to it. I'm afraid I don't have that much time..."
After Merlin finished speaking, Gust was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He quickly shouted, "Leave the alchemy problems to me! Harrington and I have worked together many times before, so there will be no problems. You just need to describe everything that happened in the second dimension!"
Merlin looked at Gust's anxious look, secretly happy in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface and smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, since you said so, I agree, then let's start signing the contract."
Merlin took out the contract that he had prepared long ago. Gust glanced at it and yelled at the terms and conditions: "This won't work!"
“Why not?!”
"I don't want gold coins, I just want every reincarnation adventure in the second dimension!"
Merlin was secretly delighted, but on the surface he said seriously, "Sure, not only that, I will also promote your adventure stories of reincarnating one reincarnation after another in the second dimension for Gust for free, so that more people can know the adventure stories of you and your wives."
Gust became even more excited after hearing this. He clenched his fists and said excitedly, "That's great. Many people say I'm crazy. I want to show others who is crazy. My wives are not his delusions."
"That's no problem. I'm happy to share these stories, but I have one request. Once I'm done observing the stories with all my wives, I'll quit your alchemy workshop."
"Of course!" Merlin thought to himself, just work for me honestly for the rest of your life, just for the sake of the anime in his head.
Merlin and Gust reached a cooperation. Alex looked at the fooled Gust and shook his head secretly. This guy had fallen into the trap without knowing it.
In the Steam and Star Alchemy Workshop, an enormous magic furnace was burning fiercely. The flames in the furnace were like a roaring beast, madly burning huge blocks of iron.
Those iron blocks gradually turned red under the high temperature, as if they would melt into boiling molten iron at any time.
The furnace is surrounded by a complex mechanical device composed of various steam pipes and gears. Steam gushes out of the pipes, making a "hissing" sound, driving the gears to mesh with each other and rotate rapidly. The entire device is like a vital steel behemoth, operating in an orderly manner.
On the ground, magic circles drawn with various alchemical runes were flashing with mysterious light. The runes were beating like living things, continuously providing mysterious energy to the entire workshop.
Countless alchemists were busy in this huge space. They were wearing specially made alchemical robes, holding various alchemical tools in their hands, and working with focused expressions.
At this moment, Harrington looked at Gust standing next to Merlin in shock, and couldn't help asking Merlin, "You really managed to deal with this guy with a mental problem? How did you do it? You know, no matter whether it was the invitation from the Elf Queen or the Alchemist Guild, he ignored it and actually followed you here."
Merlin looked very proud and said with a smile, "We hit it off right away. Gust was impressed by my personal charm and came with me willingly."
Harrington rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, "Gust has always been only interested in those puppets. You? Stop bragging."
Merlin chuckled and said confidently, "Anyway, I have kidnapped the person for you, so don't worry about it."
Harrington looked at Merlin suspiciously and asked, "Well, are you sure he will obey? This guy is not an easy one to deal with."
Merlin smiled mysteriously and said confidently, "His wife is in my hands, how dare he disobey?"
Harrington looked confused, with a series of question marks popping up above his head: "???"
I have no idea what Merlin means by this.
Merlin waved his hand and said calmly, "In any case, teacher, don't worry. Gust will definitely do what you ask. By the way, didn't the teacher say that there are already research results?"
"Well, I have some ideas. With Gust's participation, we should see results in three days." Harrington said with certainty.
"Then I'm really looking forward to it." Merlin showed an expectant expression on his face, as if he had already seen the beautiful scene after the research was successful.
In the Arcane City, a unique product was newly added to a shop of the Merlin Chamber of Commerce.
It was a book, but more precisely, it was a comic book.
The name of the comic was clearly written as "Zero no Tsukaima" Volume 1, and it was carefully placed in the most conspicuous position in the store, attracting the attention of every customer entering the store.
When the residents of the Arcane City passed by the shop, they were immediately attracted by the two-dimensional style characters on the cover.
The characters were vivid and colorful, completely different from the paintings they usually saw, and full of fantasy and mystery.
Residents walked into the store, pointed at the book curiously, and asked the clerk what it was.
The clerk smiled and explained enthusiastically, "This is the latest comic book released by the Merlin Chamber of Commerce. It is different from ordinary books. It uses beautiful pictures to interpret a fantasy story. This story takes place in another unique continent of Aize, where there are all kinds of magical adventures, wonderful magic, and characters with different personalities."
The clerk's description seemed to unfold a colorful picture before everyone's eyes, arousing the curiosity of many people.
