The Witcher’s Nightmare Wagon

Vol 2 Chapter 55: can't afford to lose

"What is this?!" Newcomen vaguely guessed something when he held a thick stack of paper in his hand. After flipping through a few of them, he raised his head suddenly, his eyes fixed on the west. Germon.

That look made Sigmon couldn't help suspecting that if Newcomen had a chain in his hand, he would definitely tie himself up without hesitation.

"These are...all..."

"Yes, teacher, these are all designed by Sigmund, and because of the urgency of time, these are not all."

"This is simply!" The intracranial pressure increased, Newcomen's face was flushed red, and his body was shaking frantically, "From today, you can't leave my sight, no, I'm going to take you to see Appleyard. Sir, only he can sway Duke Dressel's will!"

"I redesigned and remodeled the ship based on the drawings provided by Sigmund and my own experience." Savery took out another drawing, "Now it is a purely mechanical steam ship, I I don't know how fast Scott's steamboat can go, but now, our ship is at least twice as fast as previous research ships!"

"Also, there is no need for maintenance by a mechanic, as long as there is no breakdown, there will be no problem even sailing on the sea for a few months!"

"Okay, great!" Newcomen waved his arms excitedly.

"Go back, let's go to the next game!"

Soon after, when the research ship arrived at the venue of the exchange meeting, Isaac took the opportunity to announce the competition list in public. Hearing his name, Newcomen seemed to understand something, and then he saw a smile in the crowd. Scott, and Barry by his side.

"Mr. Newcomen, do you want to participate in the competition too?" Barry came over and said with a smile.

"This year's competition is very fierce. Guess which team will win the second place?" Barry suffered a big loss in public at the last exchange meeting. Now that he has the opportunity, he naturally can't let go of ridiculing Newcomen.

"I hope you can get second place." Newcomen said with a smile.

"What did you say?" Barry even suspected that something was wrong with his ears.

"We finished second? What are you kidding me, anyone else was faster than us today? Did you know about the Konos design? And Akkad, they didn't have any hope."

"The champion is ours, they don't have any hope, but the second place can still be won. After all, drawings are drawings, and simple design cannot represent everything. Any accident may happen in the competition." Newcommon laughed. replied.

"You still want to win the championship? Hehe." Barry sneered, not taking Newcomen's words to heart.

At this time, someone reminded that the game is about to start.

The specific rules are very simple, the one with the shortest one-way trip wins.

The place where the exchange meeting is located is the end point, and the starting point is on the other side of the distant island, and the place where the island is located is the middle position of the entire competition.

After a simple inspection, everyone boarded the ship, and Sigmon deliberately won the opportunity to take the helm.

The sunset on the horizon fell, and on the other side of the island in the distance, splendid rays of light rose into the sky, and ten steam ships set off at the same time.

On this side, on the big boat where the exchange meeting was held, the representatives of various countries were holding wine glasses and still maintained their reserved faces.

"I'm very nervous. I don't know which ship will appear on the other side of the island for a while." Someone chuckled.

"For this issue, I think there should be no suspense. What is really worth noting is the second ship." said the person in charge of an island country.

"Master Scott, which ship do you think will appear second?"

"Everything is possible. After all, everyone's strength is similar this year. During the driving process, the stability of the mechanic and the smooth circulation of the spiritual path will affect the final result."

"In my opinion, the designs of Konos and Akkad are very advanced, and the second place should appear from these two teams." Scott talked eloquently, with a look of pointing.

Seeing this scene, Newcomen, who was standing not far away, couldn't help laughing.

"Mr. Newcomen, do you have a different opinion?" Scott's face sank.

"Appeared, the first ship appeared!" At this moment someone shouted loudly, "It's too fast, it's unbelievable, how long has it been?!"

"It's Elam's ship with the Royal Academy of Engineering flag on it!"

Hearing these shouts, Scott's face changed slightly. He has tested many times, and it should not be so fast...

"Congratulations, Master Scott!" Everyone praised.

"Your design ideas are too advanced. It seems that you have concealed something in the previous communication. To be honest, your modesty is too much." Everyone flattered.

Scott glanced up and saw the flag of Ellen, and at this time, more people crowded around to block his view.

In fact, when the race is here, it can basically be declared over, and the remaining half of the journey continues to advance at the original speed, and the possibility of accidents is not high.

"About the new idea you mentioned at the exchange meeting just now..."

"I understand that this is a secret, but it's okay to improve even a part of it. Maybe we can directly buy a steam-powered engine with a secret rune imprinted on it. It's okay to be more expensive." Someone is fighting for it.

Each rune master holds a unique branding rune, which acts as an invisible lock that protects their designs from theft.

If someone tries to crack it, it will cause the machine to self-destruct.

So seeing such an amazing speed, everyone couldn't sit still, everyone surrounded Scott, and no one even cared about the follow-up results of the game for a while.

Until a trembling, even a terrified voice resounded through the audience.

"The second ship appeared, the flag of the Royal Academy of Engineering!"

"The second ship is also from the Kingdom of Elam!"

Ok?

Scott's face changed slightly. He separated from the crowd and looked into the distance. On the other side of the island, a ship flying the flag of the Royal Academy of Engineering was approaching fast.

"Newcommon?!" He turned his head and looked at the old man standing on the other side.

But at this moment, a hoarse shout shocked everyone, "767, the mark on the second ship is 767!"

The noise and the exchange of voices completely disappeared at this moment, and everyone on the field seemed to have lost their souls. Everyone turned their heads sharply and released their own means.

Then they saw, on the first ship, under the last rays of the sunset, a bald head that was as bright as a light source...

No, it's the number on the flag.

"That is……"

"It's Mr. Newcomen's ship!" With his head buzzing, Isaac, the head of the kingdom of Elland, exclaimed.

"This is impossible!" With a hysterical exclamation, the spiritual power fluctuations belonging to the sixth order were violently released.

Scott's eyes widened ~www.readwn.com~ repeatedly scanning the sea.

"Could it be that the flag was hung wrong?" Someone muttered softly.

"Shut up, idiot!"

"What did you do?!" Scott snarled as he rushed to Newcomen's side. At this time, he no longer had the usual peaceful and calm look, his eyes were red, and the veins on his neck burst out.

How many flowers, applause and praise he enjoyed not long ago, how much shame and embarrassment he has gained at this time, such a result, he simply cannot accept.

He didn't even dare to look up, afraid to see mockery and pity in the eyes of others.

"Calm down, young man." Newcommon said with a smile.

"Don't make people think you can't lose."

With a grim look on his face, Scott clenched his fists.

"I haven't lost yet!" After speaking, he raised his right hand suddenly.
