Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 195: Lao Sen is with us

After a few days of getting along, the little octopus gradually understood the cat's temper.

Most of the time the cat has a good temper, and the few times that happen are usually when someone wants to do something to her or Lao Sen.

It thinks that the cat's good temper mainly comes from her indifference to most things. When she has nothing to do, she can stare at a fruit plate all day long.

Misunderstanding resolved.

Old Sen, on the other hand, had been acting a little strange since he got on board, and from time to time he was muttering something that the dog couldn't understand.

However, there is no doubt about Lao Sen's greatness. He is a trustworthy human being.

In the mother's words, Lao Sen is so reliable that you can safely leave your child to him.

Every morning the little octopus stretches his body and lies softly on the table on the deck, silently observing Lao Sen's performance. This has become a wonderful landscape on the "Emperor's Sword". Every morning Lao Sen seems to have become a completely different person, and it feels like a stage play performance.

This is the ever-changing Old Ethan. The little octopus silently gave Ethan a nickname in his heart.

"O omnipresent wind spirits, please use your power to light the way ahead for me!"

Before dawn, the little octopus heard a sound coming from not far away.

Ethan was facing away from it, toward the sea, as if reciting poetry.

The sea breeze seemed to become a little stronger.

After finishing his dramatic performance, Ethan at the bow fell into a brief silence again, muttering, "It seems that wind elemental elves do not have the attributes of being a middle school student."

Another wrong answer has been eliminated.

The proficiency of the wind blade was stuck at Lv2. After that, even if he threw the wind blade into the sea again, his proficiency would not increase. This was the most distressing time since he learned elemental shaping magic. He could not find emotional resonance with the wind element.

Using the theory of favorability he proposed to describe it, he and the wind elemental elf are at the level of ordinary classmates. They can see each other every day when going to and from school. If they meet each other outside unexpectedly, they will nod and say hello, but they will not take the initiative to bring up topics, nor will they have more in-depth communication.

Teacher Maomao can't help much in this regard.

Teacher Maomao’s theory is not omnipotent. In fact, apart from the ice element, her understanding of other elemental elves is limited to the "classmate's perspective". Just like her evaluation of the electric element, it is far from the real electric element elves.

After eliminating the label of "middle school student", Ethan lost his direction again.

After he finally ran to the deck and performed this act when most people on the ship were asleep, the wind elemental elf just nodded to him politely, as if expressing his feelings of not understanding but respecting him.

This is the last day of the voyage.

When the first ray of sunlight shone on the "Emperor's Sword", the outline of the imperial capital port was faintly visible in the distance.

Ulta got up very early today and was in a state of excitement early in the morning.

He had originally planned to return to the tribe and tell everyone what happened in Ophira, but after learning that Ethan and the others were returning to the Imperial Capital, he asked to go with them.

The Empire was an old and powerful country, and even these people who lived in the deep sea had heard a lot about the Empire. However, the Empire had never welcomed sub-humans, and given their looks, they would undoubtedly be taken away for interrogation as suspicious persons if they visited.

After breakfast, Ulta stood at the bow, staring at the imperial capital. The little octopus sensed Ulta's mood and lay on his shoulder.

The little octopus knew that this city would be their home from now on and they would live here with humans for a long time.

Compared with the city of steam and gears, what will the capital of the empire look like?

With such beautiful expectations in mind, Octopus Face and Little Octopus' eyes were burning with excitement.

The port was getting closer and closer, and they saw the people waiting at the Imperial Port. They were dressed completely differently from the people of Ophira, more elegant and luxurious. One glance at them made one feel that they were very noble. Of course, the biggest difference was not in their clothing, but in the fact that the people of the Imperial Capital... most of them were in wheelchairs!

Huh?
Many question marks appeared above Ulta's head, and she looked at Ethan for help with a puzzled look.

He saw all kinds of wheelchairs.

There are manual wheelchairs, electric wheelchairs, wheelchairs with two chairs combined, and wheelchair carts that look very stylish.

When the "Emperor's Sword" sailed into the port of the imperial capital, Queen Margaret was gracefully lifting her skirt as she got off a black wheelchair sedan. In the back of the sedan sat a young girl with very long hair. She was wearing a white princess-style dress and a dazzling headdress, but this could not hide the tuft of golden hair on her head that was highly similar to Ivy's.

The people of the empire have difficulty walking, especially the nobles.

The little octopus took the characteristics of the imperial people to heart.

The queen and the princess had not taken a few steps when someone pushed a new wheelchair in for them to sit on.

……

Ethan and others were also shocked by the scene before them, and they were filled with thoughts.

What happened in this city during the time I was away from the imperial capital?
Could it be an evil god?
When they were away, they attacked the empire, causing everyone to suffer from a strange disease that prevented them from walking upright?

Ivy stared blankly at a girl about her age who was steering a wheelchair towards her. She easily avoided obstacles along the way and looked like an experienced driver with more than five years of wheelchair driving experience.

"Ivy, Ivy!"

The girl in the wheelchair smiled brightly and waved her right hand at her excitedly.

Everyone subconsciously looked at the girl's legs. Her court-style lace stockings were revealed under her skirt. Then Ethan's eyes were covered by the soft pads of flesh. A dangerous and seductive voice came to his ears, "What's so good about it? I have it too."

The cat covered Ethan's eyes, leaving him no space.

Not only stockings, but also several sets of these heavy aristocratic costumes that are inconvenient to move in, even though she doesn't like to wear them.

"Sophia, your legs..."

Ivy was overwhelmed by the sudden atmosphere of sadness. She almost immediately recalled the scene when she and Sophia jumped and played in the palace when they were children. The two were of similar age and always played together. However, after the turmoil in the imperial capital, Sophia was sent to study in the Temple of Netheril and only returned to the imperial capital recently.

"Huh? My legs? My legs are fine, what's wrong?"

The long-haired girl in the wheelchair was a little confused. To prove her point, she stepped on her high boots and walked around Ivy.

The sad atmosphere suddenly disappeared. Ivy's eyelids twitched violently a few times, and her tone became a little unfriendly, "Why are you sitting in a wheelchair if you are not sick?"

And my aunt!

The queen of a country actually takes the lead in leading such a fashion!

Ivy looked around and found that all the nobles who could be named had a wheelchair of their own.

Even the civilians gathered in the distance had their own wheelchairs, but they were all hand-cranked.

"Wheelchair? This is the 'Light Wheel 2000 Limited Edition' made by the Craftsmen's Guild. There are only 7 of them in the entire imperial capital!"

Sophia's eyes widened and she looked at Ivy as if she were a bumpkin.

Ethan noticed a detail - the golden hair on Sophia's head also moved, and it seemed that she was alive just like Ivy.

When the two golden retrievers met, they made gestures to each other that he couldn't understand, like some West Coast rappers.

After that, Sophia returned to Queen Margaret, bowed to her and greeted her, then said, "Sister Ivy has just returned to the imperial capital, so let me explain the recent changes to them."

Margaret nodded, then glanced at Ivy with a dignified look, "Take her back to the palace tonight, I have something to say to her."

Ivy shrank her neck. It was impossible to say that she was not afraid of her aunt's discipline. When she was a child, she was beaten by her aunt after being naughty in the palace. She often lay on the bed with Sofia in the same position for a whole day, and kept shouting "ouch ouch".

Come to think of it, her aunt hasn't hit her for more than two years!

At this moment, Ivy deeply realized the harm of the phone call.

This thing blurs the concepts of time and space, and gives the caller inexplicable courage.

But the consequences are dire.

It feels good to talk big on the phone, but you will suffer when you return to the capital.

Ivy's eyes were evasive. She couldn't say anything bold like "it's revealed, it's revealed" now.

Sophia, who had been beaten many times, saw Ivy's embarrassment and took her arm as intimately as she did in the past, whispering, "Don't worry, I brought back some excellent healing potions from the temple. Just apply a little bit and you'll be able to get out of bed in a few minutes!"

Then, Sophia jumped in front of Ethan again, her eyes full of admiration, "Sir Ethan, thanks to your invention, the imperial capital has become what it is today."

As an electric wheelchair enthusiast, Sophia's gratitude comes from the heart.

"Mr. Ethan" was the title requested by his mother, but she still felt that "Old Sen" was more intimate and easier to pronounce.

This beautiful scene gave Ethan a bad feeling.

"My invention?"

"You are too modest. The 'Light Wheel Prototype' you customized for Ms. Rowena has replaced the magic brooms of the Astrology Guild and has become a new trend in the Empire. Now, most of the Empire's outstanding magicians have replaced their brooms with Light Wheel series wheelchairs. However, your technology is so profound that the Empire's craftsmen are still unable to produce a model that can compare to the prototype."

Sophia, who has nothing to do recently, spends almost every day in the Craftsmen's Guild, following up on the research and development progress of the Craftsmen's Guild.

It’s Rowena!

Ethan looked at the black car in the distance and always felt that the trajectory of history was messed up.

Without him being prepared, people in this world created cars - in an almost weird way!

According to Sofia, after they left, the masters of the Craftsmen's Guild were still obsessed with the research and development of "vehicles", and finally got inspiration from Rowena's electric wheelchair. This black car is two wheelchairs installed together, and equipped with some wind and rain protection configurations.

Thus, the first modern car in the empire or the world was born.

This black sedan is the property of the royal family and is only used to receive important guests.

And Ethan, without knowing it, got a heavyweight title.

Lao Sen, the father of electric wheelchairs and cars.

This title is written in front of the magnificent statue displayed in the Imperial Square.

Along the way, Sofia also told everyone many interesting stories about the statue. At first, the queen was reluctant to name the statue Old Sen. She believed that titles such as "Sun God", "Sun King" and "Lord of Light" were better choices. However, after that phone call, the queen had to respect the request made by Ethan himself.

But then, something strange happened.

The next day, when people in the imperial capital saw the two words "Lao Sen", they all became as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Their working hours, work efficiency and work enthusiasm all increased by more than 50%, which left the queen puzzled.

In her original conception, erecting statues was the most common form of worship in the church, but the two words "Lao Sen" seemed to have activated some kind of magic spell, activating the inner strength of the people of the empire.

"The royal family visited the adventurers of the Hunter's Guild and asked them for the answer."

Sophia coughed lightly, making her voice sound like a professional reporter. "Some of the hunters interviewed mentioned the difference between 'Old Sen' and the Righteous God. They thought the title of Righteous God was too far away for them. It only made them want to go to the church or the altar, kneel before them, and feel the cold and majestic gaze from the gods. But 'Old Sen' was like one of them. It was as if somewhere they couldn't see, Old Sen was also fighting against the minions of the evil god like them."

When people connect the ideas of "grand plan" and "comrades-in-arms", they gain endless power.

In the imagination of different people, Lao Sen can be a hunter, a craftsman, or even completing the same inconspicuous work as them.

Old Sen is with us.

This trend of thought, with the imperial capital as its base, is spreading to various cities in the empire.

"So, Mr. Ethan, can I call you Old Sen?"

Princess Sofia's beautiful blue eyes sparkled, and the series of changes caused by the statue made her believe one thing - this was also part of the plan.

Even his mother was unaware of Ethan's foresight in many things.

"of course."

Ethan nodded, but in fact, he never intended to spread any ideas through the statue.

People in the imperial capital are really prone to wild imagination.

"Great, Lao Sen, I have another request."

Sophia smiled even more brightly, trying to cover up her uneasy heart.

She begged her mother for a long time before she got the opportunity to meet Ethan in private, and the purpose of this trip was the place she most longed for.

Led by Sophia, Ethan and his party came to the Imperial Square and saw the several-meter-high statue with the words "Father of Electric Wheelchairs and Automobiles".

Many people gathered here, including almost all the people in the imperial capital.

Commoners, craftsmen, nobles, knights of the Kingdom Army, magicians of the Astrology Guild...

Under the witness of "Lao Sen", a war without gunpowder began.

People were waiting on both sides of the road with solemn expressions.

The three rows of contestants on the square were silently adjusting their own vehicles - various electric wheelchairs printed with very personal patterns. Many of these patterns used common colors and composition methods, indicating that they belonged to the same team.

Ethan also saw a familiar figure among the contestants.

Her face was grim, as if she had turned back into Rowena, the wanted criminal of the empire.

She no longer wore the shabby-looking homemade magic robe, but changed into a gorgeous dress with a court design style, and a pointed magic hat belonging to the Astrology Guild.

There was no laughter or jokes. At this moment, Rowena only had victory in her eyes.

"That's Miss Rowena, the most powerful racer in the capital right now!"

A blush appeared on Sophia's cheeks and her breathing became rapid.

Not only that, Rowena also formed a team comparable to the Galaxy Battleship level, and contributed many events like the collision of Mars and the Earth. Among them, the Imperial Knight Commander Bi'an was also the top racer.

During the time she returned to the imperial capital, Sophia had been thinking about her future goals, and after witnessing a game with her own eyes, she found it.

"I've heard about your relationship with Ms. Rowena. Can you introduce me to her? I'm willing to do anything I can do!"

Sophia expressed the request hidden in her heart, and while speaking, she hugged Ivy's arm with real affection.

This is her future path!
She fell in love with the feeling of racing and enjoyed the sensation of speeding through the imperial capital, and Rowena, the undisputed champion of this event, naturally became the person she admired the most.

She wanted to be a member of the team and form a lifelong galactic battleship with Rowena.
