"How is my research? Vice Chancellor Tim!" After being excited for a while, Dennis turned his head to look at the stupefied Tim.
The latter was at a loss for words. Tim had never expected Dennis's preposterous explosion propulsion theory to actually work, and could only muster a bitter smile as he admitted his mistake, promising that the Institute would devote more personnel and fully support his research from now on.
Seeing Tim finally concede, Dennis felt a rush of vindication.
During the year he spent researching the explosion propulsion device, he had endured no small amount of mockery from the ignorant, especially when his research hit a bottleneck, and even the Magic Research Institute became reluctant to send more Alchemists to assist him.
First, the kingdom was short on people everywhere, and second, many short-sighted Wizards thought his explosion propulsion plan was too crazy, with no chance of success, a mere waste of time and resources!
