Seeing the backs of the mercenaries fleeing in a hurry, the tavern owner walked over, he took a cocktail, called two guys to clean the blood on the ground, and then handed the glass to Gao Duos, and said, "Sir, please." ”

He was about to refuse, but seeing that the boss's expression was sincere and his eyes were full of enthusiasm, he took the glass and said politely, "Thank you." ”

The tavern keeper shook his head, pointed out the door, and said, "I'm thanking you." It was those two mercenaries who had been here for several days in a row to disturb the interest of the guests, and even the tavern's business was much worse. You did me a favor and a favor to him by driving them away. ”

He pointed at Arteman and sneered, "Old fellow, shouldn't you thank this generous gentleman for helping you pay off your debts?" ”

When Na Yateman heard this, his face turned red and white for a while, and he came to this tavern a lot of times, from 1 gold coin and 3 large cups of high-quality gold beer, to 1 silver coin and a cup of high-quality ale, to 4 or 5 silver coins and a small glass of dark beer mixed with water, he finally patronized his tavern all the time, but he didn't expect the other party to even remember his name, so disrespectful to himself, really...

It's really annoying.

Gaudus then laughed and persuaded the boss away, and handed Artiman a large glass of golden beer... The kind with ice and lemon, smiled, "Hello, Mr. Arteman, would you mind having a drink with us." ”

Artiman was stunned, this was the first time he had heard someone call him like this, calling him by name, and carefully bringing honorifics:

Mr. Yateman.

He looked up, and then he saw the warm smile of Gao Duos, extremely kind, and his eyes showed respect that no one else would have, so he silently took the glass of wine and sat down.

Gaudos sat down with him, and said, "Can you get to know you, Mr. Arteman?" My name is Gauldos. ”

Arteman looked up, glanced at him, and then took a careful sip of his wine... As if he was afraid that he would not be able to drink such a good wine next time, he carefully smacked it before he said: "My name is Arteman, a professional engineer, what, do you have anything to teach?" ”

Gaudus didn't care about his coldness, no matter what world he was in, talented people would be a little arrogant, he didn't resent this, on the contrary, he thought it was normal. However, for these arrogant people, their ability to deal with things is much worse, especially if they can't be a man, and in Acacia, where there is darkness and chaos and strife among countries, it is even more important to be a man.

"Mr. Arteman, I heard that you are the designer of Fort Coolma?" ”

Kulma Fort, a magnificent castle located in the border mountains of the Kingdom of Gronia, is a strategic place that guards the communication arteries between the northern border and the Far North ice field. If this place is lost, then the giant beasts of the Far North Ice Sheet will drive straight into the south and wreak havoc.

And Mr. Artiman is the designer of the castle... One.

This information was actually learned by the Gaudus Sword and Magic Game Forum.

Atiman heard what Gaudos said, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "How do you know that I am the designer of Fort Coolma?" ”

Gaudus smiled and said, "I heard that you are from the Kingdom of Gronia in the north, so I asked that. ”

"I see." Artiman sat down and continued to drink.

Seeing that Artiman didn't seem interested, Gaudus simply continued to boast: "I have to admit that this castle is perfect in terms of material design and construction details, and represents the highest level of Acacia's masonry. As long as it can cooperate with the crossbow archers of Gronia, it can be called a siege of 100,000 people, and it must not be a throat fortress that can not move forward! Such a classic design can even be printed on the cover of an architecture school textbook! ”

At this point, he glanced at Artiman again, and noticed that he had put down the glass of rum that he had treasured, and had instead looked at him with the eyes of a confidant! Those slightly old and dizzy eyes are radiating a scorching light at this moment!

Gao Duos sighed and said, "Why, you, the master builder who designed the Ulmar Castle, which can be called the 'throat of the North', have fallen here, really... Alas......"

Gaudos estimated that this boast would definitely move his heart.

At this time, after listening to Gaudus's account of Artimaan's glorious deeds, the boss looked at the old fellow with a slightly different gaze...... He didn't expect that this bad old man, who only knew how to drink cheap wine, was really an engineer, and a master-level figure!

Atterman tilted his head and drank most of the rum that was still in his glass! He then said excitedly: "There are still people... Anyone else who knows my deeds? ”

Gao Duosi smiled and said, "There will always be one or two people who know about a peerless character like you... But then again, how did you end up here? ”

Arteman smiled bitterly and told the story of his bad luck......

It turned out that after designing the castle of Culmar, he received an order from another castle owner to build a tower. Aiming at this opportunity, Artiman wanted to put into practice his new design for the seven-story Leaning Tower, which was unprecedented in the history of Acacia's architecture.

As soon as he received the order, he hurried there, and without waiting for the owner of the castle to raise the funds, he immediately began to build it, but halfway through the construction his purse was empty, and at the same time, because the design of the tower was immature, it collapsed. Unfortunately, the owner of the castle happened to be under the tower at that time ...

Succeeded to the throne by the new owner of the castle, he refused to admit the debt and threatened to arrest Artiman for murder if he spoke out about it. He was alone, so he had to sell his Gronian mountain horse and find a few mercenaries to pay the upfront fee to get all the way here.

Gao Duo smiled at this time and said, "I wonder what Mr. Artiman has planned?" ”

Arteman shook his head, silent.

Gaudus took out a money bag and handed it to him, and when Artiman saw it, he looked at him in amazement and said, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"I admire my husband's architectural talents, and there is a lack of engineers like you in the team, so I want to use this bag of money as a gift to hire you into my team... Although the money is not much, my admiration for my husband is sincere. ”

Arteman took the money bag, thought about it for a long time, and left.

Before leaving, he left this sentence:

"I'll be waiting for you here this time tomorrow."
