Chapter 22 Construction Workers

Jerez had already resigned himself to his fate under the force and gold of the other party, he killed the traitor with his own hands, and then sent everyone a sum of money to keep them in the camp obediently. However, when these people experienced the magic of Crete, they all stayed in their rooms in peace, not daring to have any opinions. A powerful mage, the deterrent power is too great for them.

The next morning, Jerez was woken up by the movement outside, and when he went out with his people, he found that many tents had been erected outside, and hundreds of people had arrived here at night without realizing it. They surrounded their houses in the middle. These men were carrying all sorts of materials to the edge of the dock, as if they were going to build something. On the periphery of the shipyard area, they have also built guard towers and fences on the mountain, enclosing the entire shipyard inside.

The young man named Crete was standing on a small slope directing it all.

Seeing Jerez and the others approaching, Crete said, "In order not to disturb you, I used magic to block out the sounds around your house. But now it's time to get up and get to work. ”

Jerez may have been a little unconvinced by Crete yesterday, but now these mysterious figures appearing in the middle of the night really shocked him. He couldn't think of anyone around him who had such a means, I'm afraid that even the city lord of Shuangfan City didn't have such a skill. He asked, "I wonder what the adults need us to do?"

Crete summoned a man who looked like a foreman, who wore a strange semicircular hat on his head and strange clothes that Jerez had never seen before, "This is Lucid, the construction manager on site, we are going to build a shed outside the entire shipyard, but the built shed cannot affect the shipbuilding work and the flow of materials, so we need your help to revise the original plan." ”

Jerez couldn't understand anything like a construction manager. But I still understood what the other party was going to do.

"My lord, are you going to build a ship in a shed?"

"Hmm. Our movements here will definitely attract the attention of the people around us, and all kinds of snooping will be indispensable when the time comes, but there are some things that we don't want to be known by irrelevant people, so we naturally have to cover them up. Crete said.

"Then I see. Jerez nodded.

Crete said to Lucid: "I have the latest news, the ship will come the day after tomorrow, I have seen the drawings, and the shed to be built in the end is not small, will your time be a little tight?"

Lucid, a stout man in his thirties, smiled innocently, "Don't worry. It's not as good as what we're ...... Houses built elsewhere. Don't measure us by the speed of ordinary craftsmen, we don't build houses brick by brick like they do. ”

Jerez couldn't understand what Lucid was saying, but he followed him to see the design drawings, and Jerez Shipbuilding also had drawings, but Lucid's drawings for a shed were both delicate and peculiar, and he actually showed the shed clearly from several different angles. Under his explanation, Jerez quickly understood the meaning of the drawings, and then proposed several improvements according to the needs of shipbuilding. Lucid recruited a few assistants, quickly changed the drawings, and was ready to start work.

Jerez saw that at Lucid's beckoning, a group of workers who had been resting on the side began to line up to the dock. The workers, like Lucid, wore strange hats, uniform and neat clothes, and shoes.

These people are really decently dressed, this is the first thing Jerez feels when he sees them. He used workers to build the dock, of course, but the workers he hired were not much better than slaves, and most of them worked shirtless and barefoot. Work with some rudimentary tools.

Jerez followed, and saw that there were already a number of long strips of metal piled up on the construction site. He guessed that they were the beams and pillars that were about to be erected out of the shed, and he couldn't help but ask, "This, is this iron?"

Lucid said nonchalantly, "Almost, it's actually steel." The shed we want to make is too big, and it is inconvenient to use wood. With these standard frames, they are lightweight and strong, and they can be several times faster. ”

"Steel, oh my God, this is too extravagant. Aren't these things supposed to be used to craft weapons and armor?"

Lucid looked at him with a smile, as if he had seen too much of such a fuss: "For us, these steels are nothing at all. ”

Jerez said: "I just wanted my brothers to help, but I'm afraid they can't serve such things. ”

"I have a heart. Lucid patted Jerez and said, "Look at it in peace, you will know how lucky you are when you see how my workers build the house." ”

"Lucky?" Jerez didn't understand at all.

Lucid said, "Because Crete chose you, you will have a chance to be like them in the future." You don't know what a great opportunity this is right now. ”

As they spoke, the workers began their work. Jerez was stunned when he looked at it, he saw a scene that he had never seen in his life, and it was unimaginable, and even, even a little absurd.

He saw a worker point his hand, and a heavy steel pillar was erected on its own.

He saw a worker holding his hands on it, and a beam seemed to float in the air.

He also saw a spark erupt from a worker's fingers, and even if he was given an axe, it would be difficult to break the steel bar into two knots.

Almost all of the workers are working with all sorts of supernatural powers.

He guessed it was magic, but he didn't know for sure. The magic that could cut steel bars was not something that ordinary magic apprentices could do, but even low-level mages were very noble people, how could such a person build a shed for his dock here?

He looked back at Lucid, who looked like usual, and asked incredulously, "What ......is this?" It's all magic?"

"yes. Magic dedicated to building a house. Lucid shouted, "Andy, slow down, you daredevil!

"I, I don't understand, why would a mage do such a thing?"

"No, they're not mages, they're just skilled workers with certain magic. It's something that everybody in our part of the world has the opportunity to learn. As long as you are not lazy, diligent enough, and follow the textbooks left by those masters, you can learn these things step by step. Of course, no one will be able to seize such an opportunity. There are always slackers and fools who can't learn anything. But they are not qualified to participate in such an operation as today. Lucid said, "The guy who can't take the opportunity is actually the stupidest, don't you?"

Jerez was speechless, he felt like he had a lot of words stuck in his throat and didn't know where to start.
