Chapter 897: You Changed My Destiny
At Azeroth's level of productivity, how long does it take to build a ship from scratch that can sail to the deep sea?
The answer is at least a year!
From the felling of trees to the drying of trees, and then to the processing into various plates and keels that meet the specifications, the process is complex and time-consuming, far beyond the imagination of laymen.
Especially for warships used in naval warfare, it would take more than two years to build one, even with the power of magic.
It is precisely because of this that the seaside kingdom of Kurtilas, which has mastered superb shipbuilding technology and a large number of warships, will become the most powerful navy in the entire world, and it is almost impossible for either the tribe or the ambitious greenskin goblins to surpass the former.
However, for Adam, who has stored countless advanced technologies and materials, it does not take that long to build an ocean-going vessel.
In just two weeks or so, he commanded the fishmen and gnoll coolies to build the ship's most important keel.
At this rate, in about a month at most, the entire ship can be built, slowly sailing towards the maelstrom of the endless sea.
Of course, the reason why he went to great lengths to choose to build his own ship in a remote place like the western wilderness coastline, where birds don't, was mainly to avoid attracting the attention of anyone or force as much as possible, and it was best that no one knew that there was a crazy guy who was spying on the star soul of this planet until the portal was opened.
Otherwise, once discovered by those pesky guardian dragons, or the guards left behind by the Titans, it will not be easy to open the portal again.
After all, Adam had heard his master mention how much effort the Dark Titan Sargeras had spent and how many times he had failed to invade this world, which could be called a shame for the Titans, and he didn't know how many light years he had been thrown away.
Just as he was thinking about how to avoid the patrolling Alliance warships, pirates, and the pesky fishmen and Naga in the sea, and finally reached the maelstrom safely, he suddenly heard a young voice behind him: "Mr. Mage! ”
I saw a teenager driving a carriage full of wooden boxes, parked on a slope near the beach not far away, it was George, who had recently gone to Stormwind City to buy tools and parts.
"Good job!" Adam nodded in satisfaction after roughly scanning the car's load. "Buying so many nails, axes, saws, and hammers at once didn't cause any trouble, did you?"
"No, we buy tools and parts, not weapons, so the nobles won't care. With that, George jumped out of the carriage and handed it over to the magically controlled gnoll laborers.
It didn't take long for the guys to start carrying down the sealed wooden crates one by one and sending them to the huge keel.
"Here, this is the magic experience I recently took the time to transcribe, you can take it and study it well, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask. Adam handed him two pieces of parchment filled with small letters.
As soon as George heard the word magic, he immediately became excited, took it in his hand and quickly flipped through it, and after about a minute or two, he calmed back the ecstasy in his heart, and bowed deeply with one hand to his chest like a nobleman in Stormwind City: "Thank you very much for your generosity and kindness! I swear that from now on, whatever you ask me to do, I will not hesitate to do it." ”
"Calm down, kid, calm down. As a mage, you learn to stay calm at all times. Only calmness can clear your brain and make the most correct judgments. Adam pretended to pat the boy on the shoulder intimately.
By demonstrating his strength, imparting knowledge and combat skills, he has completely gained the unreserved trust of the other party, and now it is no problem to let the three young men fight against the Stormwind Kingdom.
You must know that as a typical feudal country, the Kingdom of Stormwind is actually ruled by the royal family, nobility and religion, and almost monopolizes all education and ascent channels, and commoners cannot become heroes in the bard story no matter how hard they try.
Therefore, if there is a person who is willing to share his knowledge with the common people, the common people will often explode with unprecedented enthusiasm, and even join some secret societies that are not spoken.
It was by taking advantage of this that Kel'thugad secretly developed the Cult of the Cursed God among the people, and in just a few years, countless fanatical followers were born, and some even volunteered to sacrifice themselves for the cause of the Lich King.
But unfortunately, George didn't know how cold and dark the seemingly stern teacher in front of him was, and nodded gratefully: "I'm sorry, sir, I'm so excited." You may not know how lucky a farmer's son like me is to have the opportunity to learn magic. It was you who changed my fate. ”
"Ah, yes, I did change your fate. I'm not sure if this change is good or bad, though. You have to understand that magic is not an easy power to obtain, and every year there are non-mathematicians who die due to various accidents. Even if you are lucky enough to live to become a mage, you may be targeted by demons. Adam's imitator of his own creator's tone uttered this philosophical remark.
"For better or for worse, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. In case you didn't know, there is a saying in the farmstead of Alwyn Forest that it is better to be a dead hero and control your destiny than to be a mere farmer and be played by fate for the rest of your life. George replied categorically.
As the arcane energy continued to grow in his body, his ambition began to sprout, and he was no longer willing to be like an ordinary adventurer, assisting the guards in clearing out gnolls, fishmen, kobolds and other monsters near Stormwind every day in exchange for a meager bounty.
He yearns for the sky, for freedom, for a broader stage, and for more respect and love.
Feeling the young man's impatient heart, Adam's eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness that was not easy to be detected, and he quietly invited: "You are very smart and have great potential. Come with me to the sea if you wish, and I'll take the time to teach you some of the true mysteries of magic along the way. ”
"Of course, it's my pleasure! Also, can I call you Teacher?" George looked up, his face full of anticipation.
"Hahahaha! You want to be my apprentice? It's not easy! You see, I'm very strict with my apprentices, and if you're confident, you can try to challenge them. Adam couldn't help but burst out laughing.
I don't know why, he suddenly felt ironic, and he really wanted to see if this young man would collapse or fall into the abyss at the last moment of his life after knowing the truth.
"I have the confidence to accept any test you may have! Teacher!" George did not yet know the tragic fate he was about to face, and his eyes revealed a firm will.
"Okay, let's wait and see. Oh, by the way, your other two friends should be back soon, here is a warrior's wrath trick and an elven ranger's archery trick, you can help me give them to them. ”
