Chapter 453: Chapter 432 Queen Serano

Rafael handed over the materials, which were unrelated to the Mysterious Side. They were promotional materials from real world companies, lacking Extraordinary means, yet they still presented incredibly enticing effects.

Despite previous lives bombarded with information, Tang Qi couldn’t help but marvel as he gazed at the cover of the “Iron Monster” heavily styled in darkness.

“Hardcore big guy!”

At the same time, he remembered on his first day on the job, riding on the private plane, “Black Swan,” of a great noble tycoon along with Rafael and Jason. Tang Qi had similar thoughts then, but quickly dismissed them.

Who would have thought, now… he could only say “Truly tempting.”

However, after deliberation, an Extraordinary Organization like the Merada Special Education School, based in a Secret Realm but with reach extending across the entire Divine Eagle Federation, and even maintaining contact points outside the Federation, indeed needs a business aircraft ready for takeoff at any moment.

The Ancient Castle Bureau already had the “William.”

“The world’s aircraft manufacturers seem to have a very strong style to attract those super-rich and big shots, right?”

Mumbling in his mind, Tang Qi then smiled, sorting a big stack of materials into several parts, handing them to Rafael and the others, saying casually: “Help me look through these as well.”

Spending money is something no one refuses, even if they become Transcendents.

Especially now, Tang Qi was about to spend, exactly three hundred thousand Divine Grace, which was his budget and almost all his possessions.

According to Rafael that day, it might only be enough to buy a basic model without the possibility for personal modifications.

But comparing it to the “Black Swan,” lowering the requirements a bit would still secure a good deal.

Sitting upright, Tang Qi opened the files that Rafael had specifically selected, which fit the budget and matched the characteristics of the Witch School.

The first file was shockingly the same big guy shown on the cover, possessing a thick dark style. Its base model was black, and its shape vastly different from ordinary aircraft, resembling a giant black locust, amplified countless times, with every detail displaying fierceness and power.

Its name verified this point.

“Black Locust, a special model produced by the Federation Insect Mechanical Company, hybrid-powered, modifiable from the original model, still in production, a bestseller of Insect Company, priced at two hundred and eighty thousand Divine Grace.”

A steel giant beast like a monster, inherently appealing to all males.

Some women might find the Black Locust both ugly and terrifying.

But Tang Qi really liked it, yet after some thought, its temperament was too distinct from the school’s, so he reluctantly passed and turned to the next file.

Immediately, the dark retro style leaped to a thick futuristic science fiction vibe.

It was an aircraft without any rough lines, rounded, natural streamlined shape, with each surface faintly shimmering with a ghostly light, the basic paint being silver, resembling an elongated droplet about to burst.

“Silver Falcon Base Model, produced by Maple Empire’s Alien Visitor Company, a highly popular model, special engine, possessing extremely high speed, crushing most of the business aircraft, can undergo private modification but limited to paint and some details, core not changeable, priced at three hundred thousand Divine Grace.”

Tang Qi very much liked the Dark style and was equally captivated by this futuristic sci-fi style monster.

But unfortunately, its temperament still didn’t quite fit the school’s and with a “swish” sound, he continued flipping.

“Hmm?”

The third aircraft, almost immediately upon sight, matched the Mysterious Side more.

It was an extremely retro big guy, on a dark red bat-like body, Tang Qi even saw wood panels, wings connected by iron sheets, and sharp tail fins, the main body resembling a ship. If it weren’t for the detailed introduction, Tang Qi would have thought it was a “Steam Plane.”

“Red Viscount, produced by Anglo Kingdom Sunset Company, basic model, hybrid power, moderate speed, ranked tenth in the most popular private aircraft selection, supports customized modifications, priced at three hundred thousand Divine Grace, with an option to add one hundred thousand Divine Grace to upgrade to the Red Earl.”

A thought of desire flashed through Tang Qi’s mind.

Compared to the previous two aircraft, the Red Viscount base model had an extraordinary aura.

Although it didn’t match the Witch School, some modifications could easily solve the problem.

While pondering, Tang Qi casually flipped down.

Then three more planes come into view, but all were just mediocre, not enough to excite Tang Qi.

Not making an immediate choice, Tang Qi looked up at Rafael and his companions.

Seeing him look their way, Rafael shook his head. Old Coulson had originally held several candidates, but after seeing the three files laid out before Tang Qi, he decisively put his choices back.

Tang Qi then looked toward Jennifer, ready to make a selection among the first three planes if she also had no better options.

Just then, a light exclamation was heard.

Before the crowd could look over, Jennifer handed over a thick magazine called “Sky Giant” and flipped to a feature titled “Unsold Airplane Awards,” pointing at one of the pages.

As the three of them set their eyes on it, they felt an overwhelming impact, stronger than at any time before.

There lied a genuine monster of an airplane, crammed into a gloomy warehouse. The photographer seemed casual, but even a carelessly snapped photo delivered a powerful shock.

It possessed a domineering body made of sharp, hard metal plates and spikes, with wings that stretched extraordinarily long once unfolded, a bulging belly, cold lights twinkling in the dark, and a slender nose section that, when opened, resembled red searchlights like eyes.

“Mechanical Dragon?”

Not only Tang Qi, but Rafael and Old Coulson were also intrigued.

Anyone could tell at first glance that this was a hardcore plane modeled after the “giant dragons” of mythical legends.

Naturally, as expected, it was listed among the unsold airplanes.

Beside the photo, there was another one that seemed to show it in an unactivated state, looking like a slightly bulky silver and black business jet.

The two formed a striking contrast.

“Queen Serano, in the first ten years of the Divine Eagle New Calendar, a famous legendary mechanic, Master Hansel, delved into airplane design. From design concept to the final product, everything exuded a quality that left people in awe.”

“Its name was derived from an ancient dragon in European mythology, rumored to be a female dragon. She liked handsome young humans, so she forced slaves to build a luxurious castle and kidnapped beautiful youths from around the world, throwing them into the castle, where she transformed into a queen at midnight and indulged in revelry with her captives.”

“The intriguing and thrilling story couldn’t change its flaw — the power design had serious issues. Even today, with the most advanced engines, this monstrous plane couldn’t soar in the blue skies for more than ten minutes.”

“Whether as a personal or a business jet, it was unfit for both roles. Although it could serve as an antique collectible, there are far too many similar airplane antiques. For example, the true concept plane, Castle Fortress, which also couldn’t fly, but its auction price reached several million Divine Grace.”

“The initial cost of the Queen Serano was sky-high, translating to millions of Divine Eagle Gold Coins today. The owner, Hansel Heritage Management Foundation, decided to sell it for one hundred thousand Divine Grace, but wouldn’t be responsible for any after-sale services.”

After reading all the information, Tang Qi immediately fell into thought.

Next to him, Rafael, Old Coulson, and Jennifer, while showing looks of amazement, also had a touch of regret flashing in their eyes.

Clearly, among all the data available today, no other airplane’s character could match that of the “Queen Serano,” closely resembling the essence of the Merada Special Education School.

Along with the Dragon Heart Castle Secret Realm, and the Green Dragon Ridge Lake, it significantly felt tailor-made.

However, the regrettable part was that the airplane had a fatal flaw.

Insufficient power meant it could not fly.

Although compared to other planes, the price of one hundred thousand Divine Grace was incredibly cheap especially considering its original cost, being akin to a fire sale.

But the inability to fly still remained a fatal injury.

They couldn’t possibly spend one hundred thousand Divine Grace, just to buy a pile of unusable scrap metal, right?

The flaw of the Queen Serano lay in its conceptual nature. Ninety years ago, it undoubtedly belonged to an outlandish design. Even now, using the most advanced engines and replacing them with the latest parts, it’s still very difficult to make it fly.

Ten minutes?

For a business jet, that’s utterly useless, not to mention the amount of Gold Coins needed for those ten minutes.

However, since its designer was the “Master Hansel,” maybe it wasn’t entirely worthless.

“Although I’ve lost most of my common knowledge of the real world, I’ve unexpectedly heard of Hansel’s name. Clearly, he’s not just any ordinary human; he was a figure from the Mysterious Side, at least until the disconnection of the Spiritual Tide, he was a well-known Artifact Forger.”

“His so-called career change was probably due to the cessation of the Spiritual Tide, which caused him to lose his Extraordinary Power, forcing him to step down from his lofty position and survive on intelligence in the real world.”

“Even without the magical Casting Skill, his wisdom in mechanics and casting still far surpassed that of ordinary humans, he just needed some time to adapt.”

“The Queen Serano probably was a product of his transition period. Despite the magazine indicating that his first product was a failure, Hansel still ended up becoming a legendary airplane designer later.”

…

“I want to see the real thing!”

Tang Qi mused for a moment, suddenly speaking.

His gaze then immediately fell on the address listed below the image.

Unexpectedly, it was within the Main City area of Secret Phoenix City, on the eighth floor of Thunder God Building on Blake Street, the Hansel Heritage Management Foundation.
