Eloline Furnoscote, what is the meaning of this surname?
Was it really the gods who gave me my birth? But if that was the case, why did they give me a surname?
The dragon heritage that Eloline received was incomplete, and even though she had flown across the continent and talked with countless dragons in the past few years, she still couldn't find any information about her parents.
Although she had no emotional foundation with her possible parents, she couldn't help feeling envious when she heard Licaro talk about her father and mother.
This time, Eloline's sense of loss was written all over her face. Licaro noticed her reaction and rushed over to hug her.
"Lin, don't be sad, I can be your family."
Likalo, who grew up happily, would not understand the feeling of loneliness without family, but she would feel very distressed because of Eloline's reaction.
"It's okay, I'm strong."
She was just a little sad just now, but in fact she really didn't know whether she had parents or not.
At this point, she really didn't hold out much hope anymore, so she just let things take their course.
What's more, as a dragon, she still has a long life ahead of her, so it would be better to spend more time with Licaro with her precious time now.
Occasionally, a carriage would pass by. This road was a trade route built by the empire, and there were more people walking on the road than just Eloline and Licaro.
The rain gradually got heavier, so Licaro used her magic power to condense a circular barrier to cover her body to block the rain.
At the same time, she told Eloline not to waste magic power and directly pulled Eloline into the barrier.
Likalo hugged Eloline's arm and said, "Shall we continue on our journey like this?"
This way it's more intimate.
However, Eloline suddenly had an idea and put her arms around Licaro's waist and picked her up.
And it was carried in the form of a princess hug.
"Well, put me down..."
Likalo was very shy, but she also felt that this was inappropriate.
Because in terms of height, Eloline only reaches her neck, and in terms of body shape, Eloline looks even smaller.
Now that she was being held by Princess Eloline, there was a strong sense of incongruity.
She should be the one holding Eloline.
"Hehe, I'm a dragon. I don't feel tired holding you." Eloline didn't put Likalo down. Instead, she joked, "Isn't this way of holding you good? My princess?"
Lika Luo blushed and said in a halting manner: "I, I'm not a princess."
"No, you are."
Eloline lowered her head and kissed Likalo on the forehead. At this moment, she looked very aggressive: "I am willing to be the knight who protects you for the rest of your life."
"I'm the one who wants to be a knight..."
Licaro's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she stopped talking.
They are already in a romantic relationship, and this kind of intimate and ambiguous interaction is normal for lovers.
But now Eloline took the initiative and teased her in various ways while she was still shy.
Licaro has taken this to heart, and she doesn't want Elorin to always have the upper hand.
We must launch a counterattack when we have the chance in the future.
As for now...
She rubbed against Eloline's barren chest and enjoyed the feeling of being carried like a princess.
Now she feels that she is the happiest person in the world.
Eloline carried Licaro for a long time until the rain stopped and they were almost at their destination, then she put Licaro down from her arms.
The sign in front of me points to the road to the Imperial College of Engineering, and now the building of the College of Engineering can be vaguely seen.
In Eloline's opinion, the area covered by this college is very large, similar to many universities on Earth in her previous life.
Does this kind of building exist in other human countries?
Although Eloline had traveled around the continent for several years before, she had never entered a human city because she could not transform, so she had never seen this kind of college-like building.
This once again refreshed her view of the world. This world was not at all like the dark medieval style.
I really don’t know what the technology tree and cultural tree of this world are like.
PS: Sorry for being slack today... There are still 14 left. Please give me more suggestions, such as pointing out the shortcomings.
Chapter 2 - Disaster 042 Inside the Academy
Eloline and Licaro were stopped at the entrance of the academy.
"Please show me your pass or invitation."
When Licaro wanted to take out her Duke family token, Eloline stopped her.
Because here is Professor Puli's business card.
The guard checked the records and said, "Professor Puli is out with his students and has not returned yet."
This was a bit embarrassing, as Eloline had forgotten that the professor had lived in the same city as her.
It is estimated that enrollment is still ongoing.
After listening to Eloline's story, Likalo flicked her head with her hand and said, "Idiot."
Although it didn't hurt, Eloline felt aggrieved.
How could I make such a low-level mistake?
"Why don't I just show you the noble token?"
The level of the Duke's family token is very high within the empire and can be used as a pass to enter the Engineering College.
Just then, a carriage arrived at the entrance of the college and a woman with long curly hair walked out.
She was wearing glasses and a uniform very similar to the one Professor Pulley wore before, probably a female style.
"What are you here for?" the woman asked.
Eloline told her the purpose of her trip and took out Professor Puli's business card.
After reading the business card, the woman nodded and signaled the guards not to stop Eloline and the others.
"Let's go together."
The woman returned to the carriage, took down a suitcase, gave the reward to the coachman, and entered the academy with Eloline and Licaro.
"My name is Ximira, I'm a professor at the college, nice to meet you."
Ximira's behavior is very cultured, but the temperament she exudes is inconsistent with her appearance.
And judging from her strong arms, she must often tinker with machinery or swing a wrench.
After Eloline and Licaro introduced themselves, Ximira offered to tell them about the history of the academy.
As soon as you enter the academy, you can see a very large gear sculpture. This sculpture is carved according to the first gear invented in the history of the empire.
And below the huge gear is a statue of its inventor.
The architectural style of the entire college made Eloline feel like she had traveled to another world. After all, it was completely different from the houses of the residents in the city.
There is a strong sense of steampunk coming to you...
Students in uniform can be seen in groups of three or four in the college, but most of them are male students, and it is rare to see girls.
This situation is an old tradition of the School of Engineering. Since the school was built and began recruiting students, the number of female students enrolled is still very small.
Maybe many girls don’t want to live a life with mechanical parts.
Students graduating from the academy can be given the title of mechanic or machinist. The former is more inclined to debug machinery and do auxiliary work, while the latter is more suitable for combat.
"Mechanic is a new profession that has emerged in recent years. After all, these years are also a period of rapid development of offensive machinery."
As if worried that Eloline and Licaro didn't understand what she was saying, Ximira began to explain in more detail.
Since the invention of gunpowder technology, in order to improve its use and power, the Imperial Engineering College has absorbed some majors from the School of Magic.
Soon, the School of Engineering invented the magic gun based on gunpowder. Early firearms had poor stability, inaccurate range and frequent barrel explosions, but after several years of improvements, they now have achieved great results.
Moreover, at present, the Empire is the only one in the world that possesses the technology to manufacture magic guns, which has established a considerable technological advantage.
Originally, the Imperial Engineering College existed to study machinery, but recently it opened a combat profession with the goal of training some experienced mechanics who could be used in future wars.
It must be noted that the Imperial Engineering College is a military academy, so students must sign a statement upon admission that they will directly enter the military service after graduation.
If there are special circumstances, a confidentiality agreement must be signed and the student's status will be cancelled.
Relying on this system, the empire does not have to worry about technology leakage in the short term and can temporarily establish a technological advantage.
"You told us all these secrets, aren't you afraid that we might spread them out?" Eloline was a little confused.
"It doesn't matter, because these are not secrets in the first place."
Currently, there are many forces that want to steal the imperial technology, but the Imperial Engineering Academy is well protected and no one can infiltrate it.
However, Professor Puli had said before that he would take students out to recruit students, and he also brought many new weapons that were being tested for demonstration. When Himila found out, he expressed great concern about something happening.
As expected, something went wrong. If it weren't for the two girls in front of him, Puli would have made a big mistake.
"By the way, are both of you magicians?"
In Ximira's eyes, Eloline, wearing a cloak, a wizard's hat and holding a staff, looked like a complete magician.
Although Licaro was wearing a wizard's robe, she did not carry a staff.
It was the first time that Shimira saw a magician going out without a staff. After all, a staff is as important to a magician as a sword is to a warrior.
"We are all magicians."
"oh oh."
To be honest, after Ximira knew that the two were magicians, her favorable impression of them decreased a little.
After all, the Imperial School of Engineering and the Imperial School of Magic have always been incompatible. How could she, who studies machinery, like people who use magic?
It’s just that due to the cooperation between the two colleges in recent years, discrimination between them has become less common.
If it were a few years ago, if two students from different colleges met on the street, they would probably fight each other.
The road to the Imperial Engineering College was very long, and it took Eloline and her friends almost five minutes to reach the main building.
Eloline looked up and counted, and found that the building had more than thirty floors.
This was the tallest building she had ever seen since her reincarnation in another world.
Moreover, this kind of building was built by humans. It is hard to imagine how much manpower they used to build it...
“I still have to teach students.”
Ximira shook her suitcase, which made a rustling sound. She didn't know what was inside.
Then she said, "Professor Puli will be back in the evening at the latest. You can walk around the college at will, but don't enter the buildings marked as confidential."
"I see. Thank you for leading the way."
"It's okay." Ximira glanced at them before leaving, and added: "Through the brief exchange just now, I think the two young ladies can control themselves well and will not cause trouble in the academy."
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
Elorin said that neither she nor Likalo were the kind of people who liked to cause trouble.
After Ximira left, Eloline looked at Likalo.
The college is so big, where are they going to go?
Chapter 2 - Disaster 043 The Combination of Machinery and Magic
Licaro was also coming to the School of Engineering for the first time, and like Eloline, she was a little confused.
The teachers and students of the college were all wearing uniforms, but the two people who were not wearing uniforms looked very conspicuous.
In addition, the two of them were dressed like magicians, so they received strange looks from some students.
Eloline didn't care about other people's eyes. She held Licaro's hand and prepared to explore the academy with her.
