Chapter 585: Aircraft Carrier Program
Roddy had never been a pleasure-seeker, so the celebration didn't last all night, as most aristocrats do. In fact, according to the convention, this kind www.biquge.info of big victory is eager to make a nobleman brag about it for three years in a row, but Roddy is an extreme pragmatist, everyone can eat and drink well and be happy, Elson City has invested all its resources in military politics for more than a year, and Roddy really didn't realize what was the point of drinking and drinking all night, so in the end, he let the well-fed and drunk people rush back to the room to sleep, and he picked up the parchment, began to write down his skills one by one, and discharged the talent effects one by one, trying to confirm his current most suitable upgrade method through the simulation of various situations.
However, Roddy soon found that he overestimated himself, because the experience points, talent points and enhancement skills accumulated before brought by this upgrade seemed to be abundant and abnormal, but in fact it was difficult to choose - the level increase of the demon hunter can greatly improve the ability to fight alone, but in fact, Roddy has now become the lord of a city, and he is also the prime minister of the cabinet, and the opportunity to fight alone in the future may be less and less, and the "elemental summoner" involves the mage profession, which can allow Roddy to learn to cast more spells while facing the whole world" rules" to take a deeper view.
Roddy felt that his understanding of the legal profession was still a bit one-sided, and he thought about it and decided to discuss it with Houdini - but he didn't expect that the [map bar] just showed that Houdini had arrived outside the mansion door, so he happily welcomed the other party in.
Of course, in addition to the mage profession, Roddy already had some other topics to discuss with the next mage master, so he directly invited Houdini to have breakfast with him, and chatted about the next arrangements at the dinner table:
"The situation in Evta has calmed down, but I will have more than ten days to preside over the post-war recovery work, after all, the strategic focus of Evta will shift to the east, and my cooperation with you and the Rasiman Kingdom will also revolve around these. ā
Roddy spread fresh jam on freshly baked bread, and he actually liked the Chinese habit of talking about everything at the dinner table, at least in between meals there was enough buffer time for both sides to think about the content of the words. At this point, Houdini apparently noticed the details of Roddy's discourse - he separated "Rasiman" from himself, which obviously implied a different level of cooperation.
"At least I'm still the captain of the Labertini. ā
Houdini's answer is also quite meaningful, no matter how the council of the Rasiman Kingdom curtails his power, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and many operations are feasible for him, the captain.
Roddy likes to work with smart people, so he raised the warm milk and smiled, "The trade list with the Rasiman Kingdom has been finalized, but I have decided to cross the cobalt blue ore off the list. Instead, in a private name, the first batch of cobalt-gold ore with a total mass of one ton, Master Houdini, what do you think?"
"I... Ahem, wait, a ton?"
Houdini almost choked on the egg he had just eaten, and he beat his chest in a gaffe, and it took him a long time to get his breath. The value of a ton of cobalt gold in Rasiman would have broken the head of the entire council, but after a little thought, he understood Roddy's intentions: if everything was "public-to-public", then the credit for trading a large amount of cobalt gold would be mercilessly divided among those political enemies, but if it was a "gift" to Houdini's personal belongings, then no one in Lasiman could nominally force him to hand over the property. No matter how much Houdini is suppressed by his political enemies in the parliament, he is also an upright magister, and there will never be an absurd drama of "being handed over to the state".
And only in this way can he have the right to speak and the initiative in the face of adversity for the first time.
"I think I see what you mean, Lord Castle. ā
Houdini stood up and wanted to salute, but was stopped by Roddy raising his hand: "Mage Houdini will always be a good friend of Elson, Evta, and even the kingdom of Karen, isn't it? ā
"This is a false praise, I can't afford it, I can't afford it. ā
Houdini was in a good mood and continued to eat breakfast with a smile on his face. He has now made his position very clear - the basis of cooperation between the two sides is trust, and doing things well is far more useful than saying a basket of false words of thanks. So next, he answered all of Roddy's questions about the mage's advancement, and many details that could have been vaguely mentioned were explained by him in detail.
Convenience with others is convenience with oneself, and Roddy now has a deeper understanding of this sentence.
The Magister's perspective is from a high position, and it is not at all comparable to his understanding as a player. Only then did Luo Di understand that no matter what school of thought a mage, he had to start learning from "cognition" and "method" first. I used to rely on learning the skills on the scroll to improve my combat effectiveness, but I didn't know that two mages with different cognitions of spells had very different effects on casting the same "fireball".
After more than half an hour of such a conversation, Pyrrhine Sera, who had wanted to come to Roddy for breakfast, also joined the discussion about magic, and Roddy patted his head - it was a waste of resources to leave a dragon spell master next to him alone... So he simply asked the servant to bring pen and paper and record all the details on the dining table.
This continued until the morning, and the tea on the table continued cup after cup, and finally stopped at lunchtime.
Later in the discussion, it was basically a dialectic between Merinthra and Houdini over the origin of magic - and miraculously, both of them had gained something.
Raciman's magic system and development can be said to have brought a "new wind" to the wizarding world from the perspective of the entire continent, which has inspired Merinthra, who has been studying the magic of the elder dragons, and as a former shadow dragon, she has been exposed to far more high-level magic than Houdini, and even if she has reservations, the discussion of the changes of high-level spells in different forms is also an eye-opener for the Magister.
All in all, this purely academic discussion had an unexpected effect, and made Houdini feel more and more that he had made the right choice.
Fortunately, Luo Di brought the topic back to the construction of the territory in time, which did not allow the professional discussion between the two to continue into the evening. He already had a rough idea of what his future career plan was, but now that the two top mages were there, Roddy wanted to see what they thought about the important territory for the future development of the territory.
"Build a large port on the south coast?"
Houdini was a little stunned, as if he had not adapted to the change of topic all of a sudden. However, he quickly nodded, "The ocean is a land of wealth, and it is also the place where Rasiman has the most resources in recent years. The entire parliament believes that the future of the country is not on land, but on the sea. You've come up with a series of agreements to build a port, and Rasiman will do provide you with technical support, including design drawings for small ships and leasing dockyard workers... But you're bringing this up now, it'sā"
"Naturally, there are some new ideas. ā
Roddy smiled and raised his finger to the top of his head: "Have you ever thought about it... To build an aircraft carrier is a super-'flagship' with absolute air supremacy and long-range voyages -- perhaps more than three times larger than the 'Poratini'. ā
These words directly shocked Houdini, and also made Merinsela speechless. (To be continued.) )
