Chapter 410: Ferdinand's Selfishness
The Mage Tower that Sean built in the Northern Fortress is not a small project compared to the huge infrastructure project of the Eternal Night Army.
But it can't stand up to being unique enough and tied to spell energy.
This alone is worth Ferdinand's action, if Sean doesn't greet him, even if he is the supreme ruler of the Eternal Night Army, the next time he sees him, he will have to endure his baptism.
A person's skills may become more and more sophisticated over time, but a person's temperament and temperament are difficult to change.
Ferdinand has the skills of a grandmaster, but his temper is still out of tune.
Those who know him well know that his face is cold and warm, and his vicious language and violent attitude are just a way to hide his fragile heart.
But in the eyes of those who don't know him, he is an out-and-out tyrant, especially when it comes to engineering and construction, stubborn like a rock, and in his small body, there is a huge energy like a volcano.
This kind of stubbornness has both advantages and disadvantages.
The good thing is that the projects he presides over are rarely constrained by external factors, and he doesn't care whether you are financially tight or not, whether it is a material produced by a territorial factory.
Now that you've made a project plan, you're going to have to transfer the finances to me on time.
If the materials are not up to standard, it will affect the quality of the project, so you will give me an honest rework and remake, and the project he presided over will definitely not be used.
Otherwise, let alone Marshall, even if it was Sean, he dared to point his nose and scold.
In addition to smiling, the parties did not dare to refute at all, nor could they refute.
After all, Ferdinand simply adhered to the fact that he adhered to his work ethic, and stood on the commanding heights of being responsible for the military leader.
This is also the supreme magic weapon that he has been rampant in the Eternal Night Army for so many years, as long as he has always adhered to this, unless Sean is extremely mediocre, he will never touch half a hair.
When Ferdinand actually went to Sean, there were very few, most of them went to Marshall.
Whether it is financial allocation or territorial factories, they are all in the scope of his responsibility as the logistics director.
Now Marshall has to take a detour when he sees Ferdinand, just like a mouse meets a cat.
However, this also prompted Marshall to develop the habit of making financial plans every time, striving for excellence, and minimizing accidents as much as possible, thus moving the allocation of funds for the military infrastructure.
In other words, the various infrastructure projects of the Eternal Night Army have been able to progress so quickly, even in wartime, they have not stagnated.
Ferdinand owes a lot of credit.
This kind of thing must be contested by people so that it will not be delayed by all kinds of unexpected factors.
If this infrastructure project and that construction plan are stopped at every turn due to financial difficulties, it will eventually result in a bunch of unfinished projects, and if you want to pick it up again, it will inevitably be difficult and increase the repeated financial consumption.
The disadvantage is that Ferdinand's popularity is relatively poor, and there are few high-ranking leaders of the Eternal Night Army who have deep friendships with him so far.
It is not for nothing that Ferdinand had superb construction skills at the beginning, but he was poor in the Byron Union.
While Sean was glad that he had picked up such a talent, Ferdinand was also glad that he had met the Eternal Night Leader by mistake.
Otherwise, how could he have the opportunity to shine brightly, and he would have been dragged to death by someone long ago.
Being depressed for a lifetime will be his final end.
Ferdinand is very aware of this, so his feelings for Sean are very complicated.
In gratitude and awe, there is still a bit of resentment that has not been wiped out, after all, his former family members have all died in the turmoil of the Manyu military leader.
Although it was the lords and nobles of the Manyu Army who directly worked on it, the Eternal Night Army was an indirect factor that could not be ignored.
But with the restart of the family and the birth of new children, this is slowly eroding.
In the new marriage, there may be a political component, but the children are indeed their own, and the kind of bad parents who vent their resentment on their children because of political marriages are in the minority, at least Ferdinand is not like that.
Just like most men, having a family and children is equivalent to having a new spiritual harbor and life purpose, and the mentality will naturally change slowly.
"Mr. Ferdinand, we have been waiting for a long time, and we hope that our plan has not bothered you. Sean personally went to the satellite city to greet Ferdinand.
Sean has a good impression of this short-tempered middle-aged uncle.
Temper tantrum also means rectum, there are not so many twists and turns in the heart, such a person, as long as he finds the right temperament, is quite easy to get along with.
What's more, Ferdinand's tyrannical nature does not occur all the time, usually only when he is in charge of projects or teaching.
In daily life, Mr. Hao dare not say, most of the time it is relatively mild.
"Your Excellency is so gracious, and it is my greatest honor to be able to serve Your Lord. A smile erupted into Ferdinand's stiff face, "Besides, the lord is not unaware of my temper, and if this unique building doesn't greet me, I'll be anxious." ”
"Haha, Mr. Ferdinand is as honest as ever. Sean laughed and said, "I asked people to prepare a table of wine, which can be regarded as a dust wash for Mr." ”
"Don't bother, get down to business. Ferdinand waved his hand.
"People are iron and rice is steel, no matter how urgent things are, the meal always has to be eaten, and eating will not delay us to talk about things. Sean pointed to the stack of manuscript papers held in his entourage and said, "I know that Mr. is in a hurry, I have brought all the materials, we have already produced a preliminary design drawing here, and I ask Mr. to take a look at it." ”
"I don't dare to take the axe, I can only say that I am learning from each other, in the aspect of the Mage Tower, my experience is almost zero, I am afraid that there is still a lot of place to use the lord. Talking about architecture, Ferdinand's eyes sparkled with excitement, his mouth was polite, but his actions were quite agile, and he quickly took the information from the guards and began to read it.
Just the three words of the Mage Tower were enough for Ferdinand to show 100% spirit and energy.
The name of the Mage Tower is well-known on the continent of Ashan.
However, they are not famous during the Byronic League, but during the ancient Andes Empire.
According to historical records, during the heyday of the ancient Andis Empire, it was not the territorial capitals that controlled the territories, but the towering mage towers.
Those mage towers are rumored to be miraculous.
Legend has it that those mage towers possess magical powers, each of which has the ability to destroy the world, and a single tower can easily wipe out an elite army.
Legend has it that the Warlocks of the Ancient Andes Empire are almost invincible in their own mage towers, their magic energy seems to be endless, and they have the terrifying power to destroy the world, no one dares to provoke a warlock in their mage tower, even a warlock who is higher than the other party.
Legend has it that the mage towers of the ancient Andes Empire once covered all corners of the world, and in front of them, even the Odin orcs had to bow down and become the tools of war for the warlocks, and the Kentana barbarians were also banished to the icy ice fields, never to return home.
There is even a legend that even the Kentana Ice Sheet was not formed by natural causes, but was the work of the Warlocks of the Ancient Andes Empire, who built countless mage towers here, turning it into a huge natural cage dedicated to imprisoning the barbarians of Kentana.
Legend has it that Bressan, the imperial capital of the Ancient Andes Empire, was formed by countless mage towers, and was known as a fortress that would never fall.
Including the fierce battle with the Byron Alliance, which was still an insurrectionary coalition at the time, Bressan was not captured, but was destroyed by a self-explosion that ended up together.
Even historians who are adept at distorting history have no way of denying this.
And this has been confirmed by the Eternal Night Commander, the imperial capital of the ancient Andes Empire has completely disappeared, leaving only an inverted cone-shaped lake of the highest standard, like an explosion crater.
This series of unverifiable legends has created the supreme prestige of the Mage Tower, and has also become a symbol of warlocks.
Unfortunately, due to the war, the mage tower destroyed during the ancient Andis Empire, even if there is some remnant, is not as miraculous as the legend.
I don't know if it's because of the passage of time, or because there are no skilled warlocks to operate them?
In the Witches' Secret Society and Warlock Alliance, those witches and scholars, if they have the opportunity, will still build their own mage towers.
However, the symbolism of these mage towers is more than practical, and no matter how magnificent they are, they cannot change the fact that they are simply abode.
Ferdinand, who is obsessed with architecture, will certainly not let go of the study of the architecture of the Mage Tower, and when he was an apprentice, he visited and studied all kinds of monuments, and even lived in an abandoned Mage Tower for half a year.
Unfortunately, he failed to uncover the greatest mystery of the Mage Towers, and at best studied their layout and construction, and like most people, regarded them as deified legends.
But this idea has been shattered since the Eternal Night Army Leader parsed the basic runes in the energy reaction room.
When he first found similar runes on those mage towers.
Not only the Mage Tower, but also the Elven Ruins and the Ancient Andes Empire Ruins have been found in many places.
Ferdinand was only used as a pattern peculiar to that era, and used it for decoration.
Judging from the appearance alone, whether it is the basic runes that are dismantled or the magic circuits that are combined, there is a beauty that cannot be described in words, and if you really want to describe it in words, it is a beauty that is very suitable for the creation of nature.
When the real pattern is no longer simply a decoration, or what you see is just a simple appearance, the meaning seems to become a little different.
Especially when the Eternal Night Warlord pulled out the energy transmission pipe from the energy reaction chamber and built the incubation room, it made Ferdinand's understanding of the Mage Tower have a earth-shaking impact.
Ferdinand found that he had overlooked one problem, whether it was the Mage Tower or the Elven Ruins, and that was energy.
Feasibility aside.
If the energy reactor chamber of the Northern Fortress were arbitrarily installed on top of a mage tower, would the legend in front of it still be a simple legend?
This discovery made Ferdinand feel like he had been beaten with blood.
In recent years, when I was busy with various infrastructure projects, I have been looking through various architectural materials of the ancient Andis Empire and the Elven Empire.
If you want archaeology, you can't do it without being proficient in the ancient Andes imperial Chinese, especially when conducting academic research, reading what has been translated by others and reading the original work are two completely different things.
Non-professionals are likely to directly get some professional words wrong or confused, and the whole thing that comes out of research is wrong.
In addition to learning the ancient Andes imperial Chinese from scratch, Ferdinand also followed the archaeological team of Lanxi Pear to carry out archaeological archaeology.
Ferdinand's knowledge was also very helpful for the archaeology of the ruins, as he could use his extensive architectural experience to deduce the original outline of the entire town based on the remaining clues, and even to infer the original height of the towers, sewers and main tombs based on the foundation.
It provides a lot of professional knowledge for the archaeological research of Lanxi pear, so that the other party has to learn Ferdinand's architecture in turn, not to seek independent design, at least in the future archaeology, to understand the efficacy of these buildings.
The deeper he studied, the more awe Ferdinand felt.
Because in these studies, he couldn't help but substitute for an energy source such as an energy reaction room, and it became more and more certain that many legends were not simple legends.
The Energy Reactor is the root of a mage tower.
Without the energy reaction chamber, the mage tower is an empty shell, and once it has it, it will make a 180-degree gorgeous turn, becoming a legendary being.
It's not so much the Mage Tower that is the foundation of the Ancient Andes Empire, but the Energy Reactor Chamber.
There are various indications that during the period of the ancient Andes Empire, the popularity of energy reactors was quite widespread.
But now it seems that no one will build.
Of course, this is limited to what Ferdinand knows.
It is not known whether international organizations such as the Order of Witches, the Holy See, and the Warlock Alliance, which have existed since the time of the ancient Andes Empire, still retain this technology.
Even if there is, it is estimated that it is the core secret of the other party, and there is no way to speculate on this.
But the possibility of an energy reactor and a mage tower that can still work like the Northern Fortress is not only there, but it is very high.
Only the uneducated and ignorant thugs will destroy what they do not understand and fear.
For the ancient Andes Empire, the Byronic Alliance, which was still an insurgent army at the time, was an out-and-out thug.
However, the three major international organizations, which had a certain foundation at that time, did not, and perhaps they would leave a hand.
When he got that Sean was ready to build his own exclusive mage tower and invited him to come to the main building, Ferdinand's excitement can be imagined, and he made a little arrangement for the work at hand, and ran with the information he had collected in recent years.
The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
After a cursory scan of the first drawings prepared by Sean, Ferdinand frowned and said, "The mage tower that the lord is going to build is too thin, just a tower?"
Although the name of the Mage Tower is a tower, it does not mean that its area is necessarily small.
At least the remains of the mage towers of the ancient Andes Empire, most of the big ones are scary, layered, and not much more than the current castle.
Only a handful of them will take the shape of a single tower, and most of them are limited by their own financial resources or terrain, not because the warlocks don't want to build them bigger.
After all, warlocks are human beings, they also need to live, and they also need servants to serve them, just like ordinary lords or knights.
"Everything has to be done gradually, and the Mage Tower is even more so, why don't I want to build a real Mage Tower in one step? It's just that our current technology is not in place, in fact, this is just a simple perception tower. Sean said with a wry smile, knowing exactly what Ferdinand was thinking.
This guy is obviously a bit big-hearted by the Eternal Night Army, and he always wants to do a lot of things in one step.
"It's me who is not greedy enough. Ferdinand took the initiative to admit his mistake, "But I still think that the Lord's drawings are a little too thin, since the construction has already begun, why not make the foundation stronger? ”
"That's why I asked Mr. Ferdinand to come specifically, because you're the professional in this area. Sean didn't reject Ferdinand's suggestion.
Although Sean is not a hedonist or an ascetic, if he can make his food, clothing, housing and transportation more convenient, why not do it?
"The things on the drawings are empty after all, let's talk about them in detail after a field trip!" Ferdinand said, closing the drawings in his hand.
"It seems that if the matter is not settled, this meal is not to be eaten well. Sean shook his head helplessly, this is the biggest disadvantage of being with a workaholic, "I can only wait for the success of Mr. Ferdinand when the matter is completed." ”
"For me, the best celebration is the opportunity to build a real mage tower, and I hope that in my lifetime, my lord will bring me such an opportunity. Ferdinand looked very serious.
Sean was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "If there is a chance, there must be a chance! When I actually build the Mage Tower, it must be Mr. Ferdinand." ”
"I'll see. Ferdinand said.
