Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 90: Chapter 0090 Green Tree Castle

Translator: 549690339

Green Tree Castle City.

This city was named after an ancient castle of an Earl of Oak. It was rumored that the castle built by that Earl from the Old Continent was exceptionally delicate and beautiful, enchanting many noble ladies and misses.

At that time, within colonial circles, being invited to a castle banquet was considered a highly respectable event.

Gradually, around the Earl’s ancient castle, a market formed.

Then, after the Federation was established, it was upgraded to the status of a city, thus named Green Tree Castle City!

However, now the city’s most famous landmark is not the Green Tree Castle, but the Green Tree Castle Laboratory!

This colossal entity has close ties to the Federation- specifically the military, undertaking many important research assignments.

Under this laboratory, many research institutes and research and development centres can be found.

Su Lu had only passed the examination for one of them.

“Finally… we’ve arrived!”

The train station.

With people bustling all around, Su Lu got off the train, carrying his suitcase, and contentedly stretched his body.

Since that night’s subconscious warning, he’d not stopped, exiting Nia City directly.

Although such alerts could be flawed – the Archbishop of the Goddess of Light in Nia City hadn’t fallen – he was still highly vigilant.

“Sir, where are you going?”

As Su Lu stepped out of the train station carrying his luggage, he flagged down a carriage. The coachman asked respectfully.

“The Research Institute of Electrics at the Green Tree Castle Laboratory. Here’s the address…

Before Su Lu finished, the carriage was already off. The driver evidently knew where the Research Institute of Electrics was located.

Gazing at the rapidly disappearing streets on both sides of him, Su Lu closed his eyes to rest.

Although the Federation was still in the process of promoting steam power at this time, electrics had become a high-end field of study.

This was his previous foot in the door, providing a discussion of some basic electrical knowledge and future development ideas.

In his past life, having the passive skill, [Basic Physics LV4], wasn’t simply for show.

After all, he was a science and engineering student in that life, worked in a related field, and painstakingly researched for four years, integrating knowledge points with the rules of this world, that he upgraded his passive skill to LV4.

According to Su Lu’s observations, any skill or passive ability roughly transitions to a higher level every three levels. Reaching the fourth level results in somewhat of a qualitative change.

In other words, his current research in physics in this world wouldn’t make him a master, but he’d at least already reached the expert level.

No wonder this laboratory wanted him.

‘As for the Transcendent issue… compared to the physics side, practitioners of casting professions are better at hiding. There aren’t any particularly prohibited items on me either, any I had have already been dealt with.’

‘As for identity background, nothing can be done about it, I can only leave it to them to investigate… the situation seems all right for now.’

Su Lu assessed the possibility of his cover being blown.

Suddenly, he shook his head, failing to suppress laughter: “What exactly am I worried about being revealed? I’m not intentionally hiding anything…’

Even if he had not mentioned his Transcendent profession, he was not a Transcendent before anyway. And besides, they hadn’t asked.

“Relax, consider myself to be an average university graduate seeking employment…”

He went over it once more in his head and found no flaws.

The truly crucial items, such as pages of the Black Magic Book, the Seal Card, and that mask, had already been stored in other places.

What was left, even if discovered to be a Transcendent, didn’t really matter.

After all, being born into a demon hunting family, encountering the Dawn of the Gods, the revival of mysterious powers, having one or two low-level professions were no big deal.

Clip-clop!

Once Su Lu revolved the various information in his head, the carriage came to a stop: “Sir… we’ve arrived!”

Su Lu paid the fare, picked up his luggage and disembarked from the carriage, finding himself in front of a massive structure.

This place was situated in the city center, with a bustling crowd. At the forefront was a large gate made of white marble formed in the style of the Arc de Triomphe, providing a clear view of many lofty buildings resembling libraries behind it. There were also guards patrolling the entrance.

‘Feels like a university..

Su Lu voiced in admiration as he reached the entrance.

“Pass!”

Two security guards promptly came up to stop him.

They were tall and broad, and even had gun pouches tied around their waists!

Not only that but their demeanor suggested that they had just come from the battlefield.

‘Retired soldiers as guards? Maybe even active ones…’

Su Lu couldn’t help but exclaim in his mind: ‘If the external security is this tight, could it be that the internal security truly requires the use of

Transcendents?’

At this thought, he couldn’t help feeling a little excited.

He came here with two motives: first was to find a way to sneak into the interior, and second was to seek sanctuary.

Be it the potential transformations in Nia City or Bicui, they both compelled him, in his time of vulnerability, to find a safe haven.

In that regard, the stronger the Green Tree Castle, the better!

“I am a St. George’s University graduate, Su Lu Pottery! Here to take office, this is my proof!”

Su Lu took out several documents, mixed with his previous admission notice, and handed them over.

“You wait here!”

A guard glanced at Su Lu and quickly ran inside.

About ten or so minutes later, he returned with another woman dressed in white lab attire.

This woman was in her thirties, had brown messy hair and well-defined features but looked somewhat fatigued as if she hadn’t been well-rested for a long time.

Upon seeing Su Lu, she nodded, “Su Lu Pottery? I’m William’s assistant, you can call me Cecilia! Follow me!”

She registered for a bit, then led Su Lu through the door.

“Our Green Tree Castle Laboratory is quite large, with more than seven thousand staff, guided by their respective advisors!”

Cecilia led Su Lu to the side, ushered him into a convertible steam car, and skillfully opened the door, asking Su Lu to have a seat in the passenger seat.

Accompanying the unique roaring of steam, this four-wheeled steel beast began driving along the road.

“Surprised, aren’t you? This is Model Two made by the guys over at the Steam Research Institute. It is currently still in the testing phase!”

Cecilia spoke while steering, “Those gear fanatics have already applied for a patent, prepared to attract investment for mass-production, but I think… you’ll have to wait about five to ten years to see it on the streets outside. Before that time, the Federation will need to invest a considerable amount of money to renovate the roads…

She talked freely about it why Su Lu nodded in agreement constantly.

The triumph of mechanical power over biological power, although inevitable, would absolutely not be something achievable within a day or two.

And presently, the Federation’s transportation, like this research institute, was only capable of completely widening and leveling out the roads, enabling the steam car to run freely. However, such conditions were still quite rare elsewhere.

If the roads were like those outside, the car might end up in an accident midway through the journey.

Also, the efficiency of steam engines still needed improvement; otherwise, it would be hard to say whether it would be cost-effective.

“It looks good… it’s only the excessive wear and tear of the natural rubber tires, as well as the problem with the steam engine’s power…” Su Lu engaged in the conversation with a smile which made Cecilia’s eyes gleam, “That’s right, rubber! Those idiots! Haha, I’m going to have fun teasing them about this tonight..”
