BXBX NOVEL Chapter 190
And this carriage was one of those which Alex put a sincere effort into, which is also a part of an experiment.
It was personally designed by him just like the outline of the city.
It flaunts artistic style along with futuristic design. If situations arise where a wheel has been broken, it can even drive through three wheels.
Alex used all his magical and scientific knowledge to make this cause it was a question of his and his wives safety.
“My previous live study of engineering didn’t go in vain.”
“King Alex.”
“Majesty!”
“His Highness!”
Seeing Alex’s arrival, all the soldiers and blacksmiths gathered around him. They all bowed down and saluted him.
Alex smiled seeing the familiar faces as he had been working with them recently and seemed to remember each one of them and all had become quite close to him.
All of them were quite touched seeing Alex remembering them and treating them with respect.
Among all the blacksmiths, the best and most respected one was the middle-aged man named Mueller. His personality was quite dull but he was quite loyal and kind, he had a very warm heart even though he looked cold on the outside.
“Mueller, is the carriage ready?”
“Yes, Your Majesty! The overall construction is already over and we all need to tune it when it is ready to be drawn.”Mueller replied with a respectful tone.
“Excellent.”
“Then bring it out, I want to test it.”
As soon as Alex spoke, everyone who surrounded Alex and was chatting happily stopped abruptly and a heavy silence prevailed in the whole area.
Mueller almost stumbled on his back but he shook his head and asked”Perhaps His Majesty means to take a test ride, isn’t it.”
“No, I want to check my durability,” Alex said, nailing a pin on their head.
Mueller looked at his colleagues with dead eyes and asked them to bring it out for an experiment of destruction.
While bringing out the carriage, the blacksmiths shed some tears while many even burnt incense for it, the carriage whom they treated like their own children.
Alex stared at the huge two-stored carriages and unsheathed his sword which made many skip a beat.
Alex’s sword started to glow as a crimson aura started to cover it fully.
On another side, Bassie and Mordek watched the whole scenery while sweat flowed down like a flood from their bodies.
Bassie even bit his nails in tension and looked at Mordek and said”We are already three days behind schedule due to His Majesty!”
“If the carriage will be cut into two halves, what are we going to do? We have spent tons of money on it and if we sell it we can easily fetch a huge sum.”
“Mordek, please say something. Try to persuade him to give up on doing this kind of thing.”
Mordek stared at Bassie with a dumbfounded expression and blinked his eyes multiple times.
Swallowing his saliva, he shouted”Your Majesty!”
“What!!”
Mordek’s whole body shivered as he heard Alex’s icy cold voice which froze him instantly.
Attempting to put on a sincere smile, he raised his thumbs and muttered”Your Majesty! Best of Luck.”
“Ohhh Thanks.” Alex chuckled and went back to looking at the carriage leaving Bassie and others’ jaws wide open.
“What the hell are you saying?” Bassie almost screamed with a panicked expression as Mordek instead of stopping him wished him luck.
But his voice fell short as Alex raised his sword and slashed it at the carriage.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
A loud outburst occurred which lit up the whole underground cave making the upper stone structure rumble, shaking the entire place as if a small earthquake had occurred.
The Ordinary soldiers were pushed back a few steps due to the shockwave generated from the blast.
“Nooooooooooooo!”
“My Babyyyyyyy!” Mueller screamed and sobbed as he saw his precious thing being destroyed brutally without even leaving any ashes.
The other blacksmiths tried to hold him and pin him down so that they could stop him from jumping into the fiery pit.
“Why!Why!”
“Your Majesty! Why did a benevolent King like you commit such a deed and destroy artistic things?” Mueller along with others sobbed stunning Alex.
Alex raised his brow giving them a weird look.
‘Have these people gone senile due to staying here for months? What kind of bullshit is this?’Alex murmured.
Seeing them acting as if someone died, Alex wanted to say.
‘Bro, you are overreacting a bit.’
Unable to handle it anymore, Alex shouted”Shut up and look there.”
Everyone stopped their wild behaviour and stared at the place where the fire slowly died down and smoke dissipated leaving behind the carriage without a single scratch.
A golden barrier en shrouded the whole barrier protecting it from damage.
“Woooooooow!!”They gulped with surprise seeing the scene.
Alex stared at them with a cold gaze wanting to ask what was going on before but Mueller and others just averted his gaze while talking among themselves.
” Have you fixed the lever?”
“Go and take away the molten iron.”
“Hey, manage the temperature.”
They shouted with an embarrassed expression and started to disappear.
” Now, did you all see the power of the rune?”Alex asked Bassie and Mordek.
Both of them nodded simultaneously.
“It can take on the attack of Transcendent rank and last a while against legendary rank.”
“Your Majesty! The previous modification on the walls and the bricks with steel plates that you have been making recently are all of these?”
“Yes!” Alex nodded with a smile.
“Our Experiment is finally successful.”
“They all have runes. Though they can only take on Epic rank attacks. Once, we have enough manpower and talented magicians. We are going to impenetrable defence.”
