Chapter 704: Sean's Abacus
Unlike taking the initiative to visit the mushroom people of the housekeeping clan, Sean came to Black Pickaxe Village this time at the invitation of the underground dwarf clan, followed not only by Pei Di, the head of Black Pickaxe Village, but also by the village chiefs and elders of Baiyin, Huangshi, Black Rock, Copper Mine and Xiwei Five Villages.
They took the initiative to throw an olive branch to Sean, saying that they were willing to help Sean build the Mage Tower, and they would not be paid.
This kind of pie-in-the-sky thing, Sean was really stunned when he heard it at first glance.
It quickly became clear what was going on.
It doesn't matter if they have a survival instinct, or they tend to be inflammatory.
As a relatively weak race, underground gnomes will naturally move closer to those who are strong.
Destroying the legendary Lich Angelo, Sean has fully proved his muscles to the residents of the Shadow City, especially now that he has inherited Angelo's legacy, it is even more terrifying.
Later, Sean figured out that the Iron Golem was Angelo's killer weapon to deal with Alma, because he was not afraid of the legendary patrol Naga's most terrifying means of killing - the Origin Poison Mist.
The Origin Poison Mist can erode the body and soul, and even the undead can poison it, but in the face of the steel structure, it is helpless.
The underground gnomes took the initiative to show favor to themselves, which is definitely an extremely wise choice.
"It's been thought out, but there's a reasonable place. Sean said solemnly.
"What's reasonable?" the faces of the underground dwarf village chiefs led by Pei Di changed slightly, and they muttered secretly in their hearts.
Isn't this guy a hypocrite?
They have already torn their faces, and they have to work and work backwards for free, and they still have to find faults?
If this is the case, haven't they just escaped from the jaws of the tiger and entered the mouth of the dragon, suffering the fate of being endlessly oppressed and enslaved.
"The salary problem is unreasonable, where in this world is there a reason to work without paying, just now I have carefully observed your construction level, I am very satisfied, at least to reach the level of skilled workers in our territory, when the time comes, I will settle the salary to you with the average salary level in our territory."
In view of the fact that Phantom City is a lonely city, and currency is of little significance to you, I will help you convert it into equivalent living materials at that time, and say in advance that all the salaries will be accumulated, and after opening the channel with the territory, they will be settled together. Sean said in a serious way.
The underground dwarf village chiefs were dumbfounded, and some even couldn't help but scratch their ears secretly, wondering if they had heard it wrong.
Is there still such a thing in the world to talk about buying and selling?
Buyers don't want to give it away for nothing, so they have to increase the price?
"Your Excellency is a model of order and goodness, and his character is even more noble than we expected. ”
"No, it's that we look down on Your Excellency the Lord, and use your own small belly to measure the spacious embrace of Your Excellency. ”
"With a wise lord like Your Excellency, I believe that Your Lord's territory will surely prosper. ”
"For the sake of the villagers, I have thanked you here, and we will definitely show 100% of our craftsmanship to ensure that the lord is satisfied. ”
"When the lord starts work, I will mobilize all the people in our village who can be mobilized. ”
The shock lasted only a few seconds, and all the underground dwarf village chiefs were smiling, and words of praise poured out from their hearts.
They have no idea about the standard of living in Sean's domain, and they have no idea what Sean calls the average pay of skilled workers.
This is not what they value, after all, they are ready to work for day jobs before this.
What they value more is Sean's attitude, even if the final salary is unsatisfactory, Sean's orderly and kind camp tendency has been reflected, and their lives will be much easier in the future.
"After you go back, you can start to prepare, go to my side and start to transfer people, you can mobilize as many people as you can, you don't need to worry about food, I will coordinate with the village chief of Babajin when I go back, and let the mushroom people help prepare food." "Sean didn't continue to struggle with them in terms of pay.
Anyway, there is no basis for empty talk, and when the passage between the two places is opened and the real thing is seen, it is more effective than boasting.
The reason why Sean didn't eat this big cake that fell out of thin air naturally had his own abacus.
From the moment he killed the legendary lich Angelo, he had automatically designated this place as his own territory, and the underground gnomes naturally belonged to their own people, not now, and so will they be in the future.
There's no need to be blinded by this little profit, it's better to prepare for buying people's hearts in the future, and use their place in the future, and go more.
It is true that he now has the infrastructure artifact of the Digging Purple Worm, but this guy can only do rough and stupid work, some more delicate work, and he has to go out manually.
"Your Excellency, don't worry, the first wave of manpower will be ready the day after tomorrow, and I will personally lead the team. Village Chief Pei Di was the first to pat his chest and reassure.
"We can also be in place the day after tomorrow in Baiyin Village. ”
"We can do that in Yellowstone Village too. ”
"We are a bit far from Black Rock Village, we try to get there the day after tomorrow as much as possible. ”
"Our copper mining village also has to be big. ”
"We're in Nishio Village three days later. ”
The other underground dwarf village chiefs were talking about their arrival time, after all, the location and scale of their village were different, and the arrival time was naturally different.
"Before your people rush over, it's best to send someone to report the approximate number of people, I'll send someone to start preparing the ingredients, well, you don't need to travel far, go to the nearest mushroom colony, find their mushroom king, just pass the news through Tongnian, I will say hello to them in advance." "Sean has certainly not been in vain among the mushrooms for the past two weeks.
not only touched the bottom of their relationship, but also had extraordinary fame and prestige.
Playing virtual games, Sean was a good hand in his previous life and present life, and he casually threw out a little dry goods, and he was stunned by those hillbilly-like mushroom kings.
In particular, Sean promised them that after his mage tower was built, he would take them to see what it means to be a large-scale universal dream with no upper limit.
They all looked forward to Sean's mage tower, and asked them to do what they could for the construction of the mage tower, and they would never refuse.
Of course, Sean won't let them help in vain, the blank check has already been promised anyway, and he is not afraid to promise a second one.
Sean was the last person he visited the mountain dwarves, whose total population was only about two thousand.
Compared to the peaceful and enthusiastic mushrooms and the underground gnomes who have come upside down, the mountain dwarves are much more difficult to deal with.
Mountain dwarves, also known as earth dwarves, rock dwarves, or rock dwarves, describe not only their natural abilities and rock-like skin, but also their rock-like temper, smelly and hard, even if they win their approval, it is difficult to hear a few good words from their mouths, see a few smiling faces, and let you enter and exit their village freely.
Although their tempers are stinky, their skills in mining and forging are absolutely excellent, and the black steel that Angelo used to make the steel golem came from them.
When visiting the mushroom colony, Sean had visited the village of the mountain dwarves, and met dozens of mountain dwarf blacksmiths whose traditional forging skills were not under the hands of Master Bauer.
The temper is stinky and hard, and that's because I don't know their preferences and tempers.
Sean put their official visit last, as he waited for the first men and supplies to arrive from the Eternal Night Army's airlift.
The first batch of personnel airlifted by the Eternal Night Army was led by a dark-skinned and stocky young man under the age of thirty.
Lei Zhe was ordered to report for duty. The young man gave a standard military salute.
"How is Mr. Ferdinand?" asked Sean with a smile.
Lei Zhe explained apologetically: "The teacher is fine now except for being busy, originally the lord was in need, and the teacher should have come in person, but the energy reactor of Brother Port is in the final finishing state, and the construction project of the Lingdu has also been in full swing, so I can't get out of it, so I can only send me over." ”
"I didn't expect Mr. Ferdinand to find time, and with his proud disciple here, I haven't seen him for a year, it's a lot darker, and it's a lot stronger, and it seems that he is running outside. Sean said with a smile.
The young man in front of him was none other than Reich, one of the warlocks sent by Sean to study architecture with Mr. Ferdinand.
Time has proven how wise it was for Sean to arrange for the two Warlocks to study architecture next to Ferdinand.
Magical architecture has become an increasingly important part of the Eternal Night Command, and important large-scale projects are everywhere, and Ferdinand is clearly lacking in skills.
At the beginning, the two warlock apprentices were forced to come out to take the lead.
At present, they don't dare to say that they are out of the column and win a basket, and it is still okay to be alone.
After all, Ferdinand has been making progress over the years, especially the soul rune culture developed by Sean, which has made up for the last shortcoming, the bottleneck is no longer there, many things are beginning to gush out, and the architectural experience accumulated over the years is not comparable to that of novices.
"Your Excellency, you've won the prize, and that's what we're doing. There was a trace of tension and restraint in Lei Zhe's expression.
Although a year ago, he began to fly solo, presided over several small construction projects alone, and accumulated a lot of experience and self-confidence.
But when it comes to the lord of his own family, especially the unprecedented underground construction of the mage tower, the confidence is a little insufficient.
"Is it still a habit to travel on a giant eagle, do you need to take a break and adapt to the unique environment here?" asked Sean with concern.
"Rest assured, my lord, my body is still strong enough to go to work right away. Lei Zhe patted his chest and said.
But when he recalled the previous experience of riding the giant eagle, his face was still a little pale, and he felt that his legs and stomach were still trembling.
It's one thing to climb high and low, but it's another thing to fly at high speed at an altitude of hundreds of meters with your feet completely suspended in the air.
I really admire those giant eagle knights, who not only ride the giant eagle every day to perform tasks, but also make all kinds of difficult actions and engage in aerial battles.
"The construction work is not in a hurry, you are still familiar with this place, it just so happens that I am going to visit the mountain dwarves, come with me." Sean patted Lei Zhe on the shoulder and said, "Wait a minute, there are still a few spells that you will have to use in the dungeon." ”
"Yes. Lei Zhe gave a standard military salute.
While Sean and Lei Zhe were talking, with a rumbling footstep, the Steel Golem walked over.
Lei Zhe looked shocked: "What is this?"
"The steel golem, driven by a spell loop, is similar in principle to the mage tower, only one can move, one can't move, if you are interested, there are its construction drawings in the lich mage tower, you can take the time to take a look, and when the resources are abundant in the future, the construction factory of this kind of golem may even become the standard configuration of the mage tower. Sean replied lightly.
As everyone knows, among the young people of Lei Zhe, there are many waves.
Every time, I feel that I have grown so much that I can keep up with the footsteps of the lord, and when I meet again, I find that the distance between the two is even farther away, and even if I hold back my strength, I can't keep up.
"Keep up. Just as Lei Zhe was immersed in his thoughts, Sean had already manipulated the steel golem to open the chest storage space, stuffed some of the goods into it, and packed the rest into two packages for him to carry in his hands.
"Yes. Lei Zhe hurried to keep up with Sean's pace.
"This time we are going to build the mage tower is a special situation, there are several difficulties, the first is to go deep underground, the construction is definitely not the same as the ground, especially the aquifer, it is more troublesome, we must do the corresponding waterproof and leakage work, if the mage tower is built, it becomes a deep well, it is not beautiful.
The second is that this time there will be a breakthrough in size, at least to the ground, I roughly estimated, at least two hundred meters, so when the time comes, not only to build a staircase, but also to build a magic elevator that can go straight up and down.
Third, the materials airlifted from the territory are limited, and there is no way to transfer people and goods on a large scale, so this time there are no skilled workers to use, only local residents, although their craftsmanship is assured, they are quite exquisite, that is, the problem of coordination and coordination in large-scale work, it will be a challenge, you have to pay more attention to it at that time, we are going to the most difficult mountain dwarf clan, you take the opportunity to familiarize yourself with them. As Shaun rushed to the mountain dwarf village, he discussed with Lei Zhe about the construction of the Mage Tower in the Shadow City.
"Understood, I'll find a way to make sure the task is completed. Lei Zhe nodded again and again, even if he became an architectural designer, the military atmosphere on his body was still very strong.
After talking about business, Sean shifted the topic to his number one architect, that is, to express concern, and to use a topic that both parties are familiar with, to shorten the distance between the two parties, and the two are estimated to have to cooperate for a while, "Mr. Ferdinand, how is your health lately? Still working so hard, still so grumpy?"
"The teacher's health is very good, work is his greatest pleasure, if one day there is no work for him, he will be uncomfortable, the teacher's heart is not bad, but the way of expression is different from ordinary people. Speaking of the people close to him, Lei Zhe suddenly relaxed a lot.
"That's good! I remember you're twenty-six, right?
"Not yet, I've been a bit busy lately. ”
"Busy is not a reason, the work must be done well, and personal problems cannot be left behind. ”
"Thank you Lord for your concern, I'll hurry. ”
"It's not about hurrying, it's about getting started as soon as possible, and don't drag yourself in cultivating vitality for the territory. ”
"Yes. ”
"That's right, when there is a suitable one, I will introduce it to you. ”
"Thank you, Lord. ”
Just when Sean's topic was getting farther and farther, and Lei Zhe was embarrassed to stick his head into the soil, the destination had already arrived.
Compared to the more haphazard colonies of mushrooms and the orderly underground dwarf villages, the villages of the mountain dwarves are somewhere in between.
Mountain dwarves, who are good at forging, like to arm themselves to the teeth, have stronger combat effectiveness, and naturally have lower requirements for defense.
Those who are good at their craft are more likely to earn respect wherever they go, and even the ruthless legendary Lich Angelo did not dare to squeeze the mountain dwarves too much, like the material of the steel golem, and he had to count on them to mine and smelt.
