Chapter 220: Chapter 207 A new era of magic is about to come! [Extra for alliance leader dsf23dd]
“Perfect, truly a perfect creation!”
At the plaza in front of the Alchemy Association, Master Alchemist Dennis gazed at the steam car before him, automatically running and constantly emitting smoke, with an utterly captivated expression.
After years of relentless efforts, he had finally improved upon the sixth generation of the alchemy steam engine, not only reducing its size by half but also significantly enhancing its performance.
“Have both the speed and load been tested?” Dennis looked toward his apprentice and asked.
“Reporting to Master Dennis, it averages about forty-five kilometers per hour! Or it can maintain half that speed while carrying ten tons of goods!” The female wizard replied excitedly, barely able to contain her enthusiasm—this was definitely a new breakthrough!
“Very good, extremely good!” Dennis nodded in satisfaction, feeling a wave of satisfaction wash over him.
Twenty years ago, when they had just created the steam engine, they had faced considerable ridicule.
The initial steam engines were highly inefficient, with the alchemy cars only able to travel three to five kilometers per hour.
According to some, even a turtle with a carrot dangling in front of it would move faster than his alchemy car!
Compared to horses and camels, its only advantages were that it needed neither food nor rest, and it could work around the clock, but it was nothing compared to the spiritual creatures summoned and the golems created by spiritual energy wizards!
Despite his research being undervalued, Dennis never gave up. After generations of improvements, he finally got the steam engine recognized by the council, becoming the main power source for all new types of ships.
The next target was naturally to replace land transportation: his new steam car could pull a full ten tons of cargo non-stop, consuming only the magic power of one Wizard Apprentice per hundred kilometers!
Dennis had already envisioned a magic revolution that he was about to initiate—the billowing steam would cover every corner of the Wizard Land.
It was the miracle created by alchemy and magic…
A new era of magic was on the horizon!
As Dennis was lost in his daydreams, a sudden outburst of panicked shouting came from the doorway,
“Not good, Lord Dennis!”
“What happened?” Dennis, snapped out of his reverie, looked at the panicked male wizard in irritation.
“Could it be that the Council intends to shorten our deadline?”
Dennis asked, furrowing his brows. The leaders were preparing to purchase a hundred steam cars in response to a potential upcoming war, and they also planned to refit all the steamships by replacing their internals with the latest model of the alchemy steam engine.
Everything had to be completed within three months!
This was undoubtedly a daunting task, and rushing might not even ensure completion. Could it be that the war was going to start sooner?
“No, it’s not that, Lord Dennis…” the male wizard hesitated long before he finally stammered out, “Now, all over Greenriel, it’s rumored that Yiyeta Academy has created something called an internal combustion engine, and when installed, it can run ninety kilometers an hour, and even propel a wizard like launching them from an alchemy cannon…”
“Nonsense!” Dennis exclaimed.
Ninety kilometers an hour, what would that imply?
The maximum speed of a fire lion is not much faster, but magical beasts still need to eat, drink, defecate, and sleep, and cannot maintain their top speed continuously. Moreover, their training period is measured in decades, which is why Dennis was confident he could replace them.

After all, the greatest advantage of alchemical instruments is that they can be mass-produced!
“But this newspaper says that it was invented by Lord Lynn, witnessed by thousands—it’s as fast as the wind! And its thermal efficiency is ten times better than that of a steam engine…” the wizard said cautiously. “I heard that the councilors are already considering canceling the steam engine purchase.”
“Impossible, that’s absolutely impossible!” Dennis declared emphatically.
Efficiency ten times better than a steam engine?
Dennis simply could not believe such a thing existed!
Although he was far from reaching the limits of steam power, with generations of improvements, the steam engines he made were already perfect, reaching speeds of only about forty kilometers per hour.
Of course, if endurance and load were not considered, the maximum speed could be further increased, but it certainly could not reach the terrifying speed of ninety kilometers per hour.
This was no magic!
It must be false advertising!
Not only Dennis, but members of the Alchemy Association also felt the rumors were unreliable.
Most crucially, they had put so much effort into developing the improved steam engine, ready to show off their work, only to be ousted? How could they accept this?
“I’m going to Yiyeta right now, immediately!” Dennis shouted irately and then turned his gaze to the steam car he had just completed.
He was not only going, but he was also going in the result of his hard research… Dennis wanted to see for himself what this internal combustion engine was, daring to claim to be ten times more efficient than a steam engine!
…
Five days later, at Yiyeta Harbor.
An oddly-shaped alchemical machine slowly drove through the city’s alley, a giant alchemical boiler placed at the back bubbling and steaming, attracting the attention of passersby, many of whom quietly speculated whether this was a new creation from the alchemy workshop.
Sitting in the car, Dennis and the others looked rather grim. This was not because of the townspeople’s whispers, but because Dennis had realized after driving for a long time that this alchemy car had another drawback—it was too shaky, partly due to the poor road conditions and partly due to the steam car itself.
“Welcome to Yiyeta Harbor!”
No sooner had they entered Yiyeta than Orlando, who had received the news, rushed over.
In fact, in recent days, due to the popularity of “The Magic Daily,” the number of alchemists coming to Yiyeta to check things out was not small, and without exception, all were drafted by Lynn.
However, seeing that it was Dennis who came, Orlando felt somewhat apprehensive; he knew well that this alchemist was the inventor of the steam engine and was somewhat worried that he might have come to cause trouble.
Fortunately, Orlando soon noticed that Master Rafael, who was on good terms with Lynn, was also in the steam car, and his worries immediately eased.
“Hop on, there’s just one spot left in my steam car. You can show us the way!” Dennis patted the seat next to him, which he had specifically left empty, to let the people from the Yiyeta school experience how comfortable and convenient his alchemical steam car was!
