Chapter 284: Frozen Assets
For the next few days, Fang Ou was testing the maneuverability of 'Wasp-I', and the first time the Parral was still shouting, "You mean this thing is called 'Wasp', but it's obviously silver-" and then the man was locked in the utility room by Fang Ou with a black face.
However, he didn't have much talent for the name, but the design itself was excellent, and the Wasp-I flew more than 50 percent faster than the average clockwork elf, making it as dexterous as the average clockwork, with the only downside being that it was exponentially more difficult to handle, just as it was on the panel.
But perhaps there was also a reason for being the designer, Fang Yu himself accepted it without hindrance, and soon he was able to control it like a finger, and in the next few days, everyone could see the silver shuttle on the platform shuttling through the rooms, like a stream of silver light.
Wasp-I is still a derivative of the Clockwork Elf, but it is something that it didn't have in the past, it is actually a type of allomorphic Clockwork Elf, a new variant, but it is not surprising. The alchemist is both a craftsman and an author, and as Fang Plover knows, there are new flexible structures, variants, and even classes born in this world all the time, but most of them will soon disappear into the long river of history.
Unless he actually produces a classic model that is accepted by the public and leaves a place in history, he is a newcomer to the world of the master – just as he saw the collections in the Tansnir Artisan Guild, there is more than one piece left behind in history.
Fang Yu had never dreamed of taking a step to the sky, but he still had to find a time to register his drawings with the Tansnir Artisan Guild.
He went out alone, and after exiting the enclosure, he took a railcar to the gate of the Artisan Guild, through which he entered the floating hall on the first floor of the Tansnier Artisan Guild in a flash of white light.
The first floor of the hall was covered with a thick patterned carpet that stretched out behind an arched counter, the external office of the Craftsmen's Guild, behind which there was a dark-skinned girl with a pair of pigtails, holding a large thick book in both hands, a pair of disproportionate glasses on the bridge of her nose, and a notebook, perusing it.
When Fang Yu approached, the other party heard the footsteps and raised his head, and his emerald eyes saw him, revealing a hint of surprise. She recognized Fang Yuanlai - in fact, after the 'glorious deeds' not long ago, through word of mouth, there were very few people here who did not know this 'person' who made their president lady cry.
She couldn't help but laugh, closed the book in her hand, and asked in a voice like a silver bell:
"Mr. Eddard is here again, is he still here to find President Elna?"
Fang Yu stood still in front of the counter, shook his head, and replied, "I'll do something, Camilla." ”
Camilla is the name of this little girl.
Camila was a little surprised: "Hey, is there something wrong with Mr. Ed?" ”
"I designed some small things and wanted to put them in."
Hearing this, Camilla is not surprised, alchemists always like to design strange little things, although most of them are useless. The guild also has no threshold for entry, and after the difference machine of the Goland Association is checked for duplicates, as long as there is no duplicate design, it can be included in the database.
There are probably thousands of drawings recorded by craftsmen's associations in various places every day, and to put it mildly—most of them are waste paper, and basically no one cares about them after they are entered—but it is hard to guarantee that there will be no time to shine, and there is no such precedent in history.
"Did Mr. Ed bring the blueprints?"
Fang Yu nodded, he was not a novice in this regard.
Taking out the drawings, the little girl checked them herself. Of course, she couldn't decide anything, so she only praised it carefully: "Mr. Ed's drawings are so good, except for Ms. Elna, I have rarely seen such meticulous and compliant design drawings, which are exactly the same as the standards in the book." ”
Camila said as she opened the drawer, took out a few potions, and said something in her mouth: "Aster, petrified lizard's horn powder, magic solution No. 12...... No. 12, No. 12...... It's disgusting, these people have lost the label again......" She looked up and gave Fang Yu an apologetic look:
"Mr. Ed, please wait a minute, I'm looking for something."
Fang Yu was very embarrassed to praise before, but now he only smiled and nodded.
The little girl rummaged through the boxes and cabinets for a while, and finally found a spare magic solution: "Okay! Camila clapped her hands and made a finished sound, and then mixed them together in a glassware.
There was a gurgling sound in the alchemy cauldron, and the final mixed solution revealed a transparent, charming purple color—
She picked up the solution and carefully poured it on Fang Yuan's stack of drawings, while explaining to Fang Ou: "Mr. Ed, this is a magic sniffer, it can 'distinguish' the magic ink, and then we can scan it with the crystal, and we can convert the information of the drawings into magic information and record it in the crystal." ”
Fang Yu nodded, looking at this scene with a little curiosity.
In fact, he had heard of the process of entering drawings for a long time, but it was the first time he had seen the actual operation, so he did not feel bored, but watched it with relish.
Camilla carefully soaked the drawings with the solution, and then opened the lid of the machinery that was lined with copper pipes, and below it was a dark marble slab, on which was etched a coat of arms of the Tansnir Artisan Guild, and depicted with gold trim.
She turned, lifted the corners of the drawings in both hands, and immediately lifted one of the drawings from the stack of blueprints—strangely enough, the wet drawings were separated very smoothly instead of gluing them together.
Seeing this, Camilla explained, "Mr. Ed, the ingredients of the astricosm powder in the olfactory guide have the effect of smoothing the surface. ”
Fang Yu nodded.
The first craftsmen entered the drawings by hand, but manual copying was inefficient and error-prone, and then gradually switched to mechanical copying, until the beginning of this century, when the method of magic olfactory and magic information entry came into the scene, and quickly replaced the traditional technology.
But an alchemy technique is not perfect from the beginning, and the ingredients in the olfactory guide must have been summarized by the predecessors and added little by little, so that it is so convenient to use today.
In fact, this is true of any technology -
Camilla laid the wet drawings on the obsidian, and then inserted a calcite into the machine, and the crystals on both sides immediately lit up, and a laser-like gold line was shot out from it, slowly extending forward from the left and right on the drawing. Fang Yu glanced at it, silently estimated the speed in his heart, and also knew that the process of entering these drawings was very long, and I was afraid that it would not be completed in an hour or two.
Camilla also stuck out her tongue: "This old antique is so troublesome, I heard that the latest machine is more than two or three times more efficient than this." ”
"It's a pity that President Erna has applied for funding several times, but she hasn't applied for it." The little girl muttered, "I've heard that other artisan guilds are self-financed, but why is our guild so poor?" ”
Fang Yu couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of Lady Elna's appearance.
Behind the strange mechanism that Camilla called the 'decomposition meter', in the direction of the counter, sat a circular metal platform, about the size of a human face, smooth as a mirror, with an orange crystal floating over it.
"Mr. Ed," Camilla said, pointing to the crystal, "this is the Information Crystal, and it also functions as a Communication Crystal, and is connected to the main crystal of the Istanian Artisans' Guild - there are seven main crystals in Kaurin-Ishurian, and they are connected to each other through the ether to the one of the Gollanders. ”
However, the little girl frowned, patted the crystal with her hand and said, "It's strange, there has been a certain delay in communication recently, is this thing also aging?" ”
Fang Yu was speechless for a while at this 'disrepair' artisan association.
However, when he said unintentionally, the listener was intentional, and when he heard the other party's words, he couldn't help but ask: "Have you been delaying communication a lot lately?" ”
"Well," Camilla nodded, holding her glasses with her hand: "This thing has been malfunctioning since a month or two ago, but it has become more and more frequent recently, and it is estimated that it is going to break, if the information crystal is broken, you can only apply for one from the Istania Craftsman Association, and there is no spare spare material for this thing." ”
Fang Yu heard that there was such a situation two months ago, so he put his mind at ease.
After some operation, it took more than two hours to get everything prepared.
The results of the checks from the General Council of Eagles were quickly transmitted back by the General Council of Eagles, and turned into a notice of a few lines of text, and the note 'creaked' out of an old automatic typewriter.
Camilla tore off the note with a 'swipe', glanced at it, and said to him with a happy brow: "Mr. Eddard, congratulations on the blueprints you entered the catalog of the Kaulin-Ishurian Alchemy Association, since this is your first design, you can get double points according to the custom-"
"Your drawings have been jointly rated as C+ by three masters, with excellent quality evaluation, medium to low practicability, high structural complexity, high cost indicators, and difficult control."
She read to the note: "The grade of the design drawing is level 11, the basic score is 110 points, and multiplied by the above evaluation parameters, it is 175 points. ”
Camilla raised her head and looked at him with some adoration in her emerald green eyes: "Multiply by two, it's three hundred and fifty points...... This is Mr. Ed's first work, and it's a pretty high score. ”
After leaving Kapka, Fang Yu worked as a 'wild alchemist' for a while, and was arguably unfamiliar with the standards of the Artisan Guild. Although he made up some basic knowledge with Ender later, it was impossible for the other party to talk to him in just one week.
He couldn't help but ask, "Camilla, is this score very high, and what is it in general?" ”
Camilla thought for a while, nodded and said, "Generally speaking, most people's first work can be regarded as a passing grade with fifty or sixty points, and one hundred and seventy-five points is quite exaggerated. It seems that the master craftsman in charge of the review is quite optimistic about Mr. Ed's work? ”
Fang Yu's heart moved, and he asked, "Camilla, can you help me check if there is a design plan for the 'Battle Fairy'." ”
Camilla nodded, walked over and slapped the information crystal again, seeing that Fang Yu was sweating profusely, for fear that the little girl would completely destroy the crystal with a slap.
However, it seems that this repair method is also common to the other world.
Soon, the other party came to a conclusion: "Yes, Mr. Ed-" and then she let out an exclamation: "Oh my God, the score is so high, more than 17,000 points......"
Fang Yu listened, but he was not surprised, as a revival of an ancient school, the battle goblin can be said to have the significance of founding a sect - the reviewers from the Craftsman Association are all masters of various schools, of course, it is impossible to be ignorant, and it is not surprising to give a high score of more than 10,000 points.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Camilla, what about you check the crystal step design?" It's not a blueprint, it's a technical entry, you look up that list. ”
For example, the 'Wasp-I' he designed is the design drawing, and the 'Structural Siren' he invented to reproduce the technique of Noumerin's 'Creation Technique' is a new alchemical technique.
Of course, the 'Creation Technique' is based on his absorption of the dark element, and it may also be related to a series of secrets between Fang Nini and the Dragon's Golden Treasure, and he will not easily leak this technology until he understands this.
Similarly, there is the technology of the Zero Crystal.
Camila did as she was told, and then exclaimed, "Ah, I found it...... Crystalline Design, Ancient Technology, Catalog T-104, Uploaded by, Ed ......"
She turned her head in surprise, and her open mouth couldn't close: "Mr. Ed, this is the ancient technology you uploaded...... Mr. Ed, do you still know ancient technology...... Integral...... Integral...... Wait, 12,200 ......!! ”
Fang Yu took a light breath.
Although I had expected it, I couldn't help but feel a sudden sense of surprise when I heard this point.
The ancient techniques that Arquette and Merriffin had urged him to register with the Elpahim Craftsmen's Guild were also on this list—and the two old dwarves, though a little sinister, were very good at alchemy. The uploader of this technology, sure enough, wrote his name.
And as a precursor to the design of the battle fairies, it must not be surprising that this skill has scored more than 10,000 points for the master craftsmen.
However, there was a hint of a change in this score, which is probably due to the fact that the earliest master craftsmen did not give such a high score - but with the appearance of the battle elf blueprint, the responsible reviewer remembered this and went back and revised the score.
For the first time, Fang Yu felt that the legacy left to him by Master Hain-Sailm was indeed an incomparably huge wealth - not to mention everything that the Attribute Crystal had brought him, just these scraps of knowledge could be exchanged for 12,000 points in the Craftsman Guild.
That's a real value in itself.
Generally speaking, the Craftsman's Guild's points are similar to those of the Adventurer's Guild - they can be exchanged for valuable materials, knowledge, and other resources. The Electors gave a more intuitive estimate of this point, almost multiplied by one hundred and fifteen, which was equivalent to Riesel of the same value.
In other words, the 'crystalline design' alone is worth nearly 1.5 million lissell.
Although it seems that it is only equivalent to the value of a magic guide weapon for the top members of the Great Guild.
But on second thought, it's almost twice as much as the Seven Seas Brigade's entire fortune since its inception to the present day—except, of course, the Seven Seas Traveler.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he asked, "Can I use this money...... Isn't it, points? ”
Although the points cannot be exchanged directly for money, they can also be given to others through an internal market provided by the Artisan Guild. Although there is a discount of about 10 percent, and the artisan association will charge another 10 percent stamp duty, 80 percent of the 1.5 million lissell is also 1.2 million, and he has no intention of exchanging them all, and now it is just the right time to save the emergency.
But Camilla glanced at it, raised her eyebrows, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ed, no." ”
"How?"
"It said above that your guardian, the tutor has certain requirements for the use of the points given by this technology."
Fang Yu was taken aback: "Teacher Ande? ”
"No," the little girl shook her head like a rattle, "and it says Arquette Spark and Merifin Frosteyebrow." ”
"These two damn old bastards!"
Fang Yu was so angry that he almost scolded, the slightest good impression he had built up for the two old dwarves before suddenly disappeared without a trace, and he said angrily: "What are they asking for? ”
"First of all, you are required to reach the twenty-third level," Camila was taken aback by him and whispered, "and then ask you to participate in the Continental League...... If not, at least wait until after the Continental League......"
"It's been a year and a half since the Continental League opened!"
Fang Yu was almost so angry that he vomited blood, and the twenty-third level was okay to say—he knew that the two old dwarves were quite optimistic about him, and he was worried that he would squander the money and delay his future in alchemy. And he originally had twenty-two levels, and it wouldn't take long for the next level.
But the Continental League is not something that will end in a while. First of all, after the qualifiers, there was an eleven months of preparation alone, followed by seven months of the tour, and the final month in the Otto-Syrian capital.
The whole time, no more, no less, just a year and a half.
After a year and a half, the daylilies are cold.
He gritted his teeth in anger, but he was helpless, because the technology was uploaded with the help of others, and he was indeed an apprentice at that time, and this aspect was also under the rules of the General Association of Craftsmen.
There was no way, Fang Yu could only retreat to the next best, not thinking about this huge amount of money for the time being, and only asked:
"Okay, I'm going to make the drawings I entered public, do I need a fee?"
After the impact of 12,000 points, Camila looked at him differently.
The little girl shook her head respectfully and replied, "Not only not, but the guild also has rewards." ”
Fang Yu nodded.
By making drawings public, it means that everyone can access them – of course, it's not free.
The artisan world's emphasis on sharing knowledge rather than monopolizing it may be a form of commemoration of the knowledge that the spirits of Noumerin had given to humanity – but also unintentionally – and the free circulation of knowledge today has led to the flourishing and development of alchemy, and over time, when people realized the benefits, the rules were established.
After the arrival of the earthlings, the mechanism of patent law was introduced, which made this system more rigorous.
A good design often brings various benefits to the craftsman, one is the patent fee for the design drawing, which can be enjoyed until the author dies or leaves this world.
Don't underestimate this benefit, it is equivalent to 35% of the cost of the design drawing, which means that other people need to pay 30% and a half of the cost for each finished product, dedicated to the drawing provider. This fee will not be until the drawing provider leaves this world, and then it will be converted to a buyout system-
In this contract, there is a double guarantee from Angela and Ms. Roman, which ordinary people dare not easily violate.
However, there is a special place here, because the Chosen Craftsman often leaves this world very early - as a life professional, he is generally not more than forty-five years old, so the Craftsman will always be especially fond of collecting the drawings of the Chosen Alchemist, and even lower the standard a little.
So Fang Ou was guided by Camilla, after filling out the form, and then the latter applied to the information crystal, and after a series of procedures, Fang Yu finally got the first pot of gold for his design drawing.
Three gold Istanian coins.
It is equivalent to about 1,300 lissells.
This is the guild's advance on patent fees, and although most of them will not recover the cost in the end, the guild will not pursue it, which is almost equivalent to an incentive mechanism for designers.
Camilla said on the side: "I heard that some people nowadays make a little improvement on the general design drawings in order to earn this little money, and this kind of drawing has no meaning at all, just to avoid duplicate checking." Now, in order to deal with this kind of person, the general meeting of craftsmen has further strengthened the audit...... Hmph, there's all these clever guys everywhere. ”
She glanced at Fang Yu and hurriedly added, "I'm not talking about Mr. Ed, Mr. Ed is much more powerful than those people. ”
Fang Yu couldn't cry or laugh.
But he had to admit that there were indeed such people everywhere.
While the two were chatting, suddenly a group of people entered the guild hall from outside, and Fang Yu looked back and realized that it was a group of secret sorcerers wearing purple robes.
He was slightly stunned before he remembered these men—they seemed to have met them on the day they went to the sand house—and he couldn't help but look back, wondering if the little girl Parker had seen that day was among them.
But he looked at it suddenly, and suddenly remembered that the other party rushed out in a hurry that day, and he didn't know if it was related to the wandering alchemist? After all, mystical warlocks and necromancers have a very high status in Idania and are not inferior to the royal family, and Her Royal Highness may not be able to get any information from these people.
While he was thinking about it, the little girl behind him said:
"It's the mystics again."
"How?" Fang Yu turned his head: "Have they appeared recently?" ”
Camila looked over there and nodded slightly.
