The actions of this construction team couldn't help but stun Jerez and frightened his men.
Originally, they thought that these people who were working were neatly dressed and secretly laughing at them for not working, but now after seeing them do it, they didn't dare to squeak one by one. They were originally thinking of watching the excitement, but now they are all quiet, and even have some fear in their hearts. Who would have thought that with such terrifying strength, the power to use mages as craftsmen is absolutely terrifying.
The workers moved very quickly, and by noon the frame had been erected, and by the evening the shape of the shed had taken shape.
Jerez was not idle, leading his men to do some odd and odd chores. After spending some time with these magician workers, he found that these people did not have the arrogance of mages at all, on the contrary, many of them were still kind, and the worries and tensions in the hearts of him and his subordinates were slowly dissipated, and by the afternoon, they were able to cooperate well.
After all, Jerez is also a well-informed person, and in the process of communicating with these people, he gradually discovered that these people are not at all like mages who came out of the mage tower, but more like craftsmen who learned magic for some reason. He thought back to what Lucid had said to him, and he couldn't help but look forward to it.
Lucid was an experienced construction manager, and by the next night, all the work had been completed. Two tall houses cover the two larger shipbuilding positions of the original dockyard. The outer wall has also been further strengthened, and it already looks a little like a small fortress.
At noon on the third day, two large three-masted galleons sailed from the sea level, and Jerez recognized them at a glance, these two ships belonged to the nearby White Wave City, and they were the two largest warships in the White Wave City fleet, and these two ships were sister ships, one named the Holy Sword and the other called the Holy Aegis, which belonged directly to the city lord of White Wave City. These two ships are not only the largest and strongest ships in White Wave City, but also among the most powerful warships in the entire southern city-state. Jerez was confident that the lord of White Wave would never sell it. However, he could also determine that the people who rented his shipyard did not belong to White Wave City. It is a very strange thing that these two ships appear here.
As the ship approached, Jerez saw a mage-like figure standing on the bow of the Holy Sword.
Crete, who was waiting to greet him on the shore, saw this man and immediately saluted, while the other man only nodded his head. Jerez knew that it must not be easy to make a high-level mage so respectful.
Crete asked Jerez to fill the dockyard with water, and then let the two ships into the dock.
Jerez settled the berth, pumped the seawater from the dock, and let the two warships reveal their bodies in the dock, and couldn't help but feel a little excited. As a shipyard owner, one of his ideals was to be able to create stunners like the Holy Sword and the Holy Aegis, which were slender, curvaceous, made of exquisite materials, and had cutting-edge designs.
If such a ship can be built, it is a first-class shipyard on the mainland.
Just as Jerez was admiring the ship with envy, the mage at the bow floated down and landed beside him and Crete.
Crete hurriedly said, "Chairman Xiao." โ
The person who came was Xiao Chen, he looked up at the roof of the dock, patted Crete on the shoulder, and said, "Hard work, Crete." It's not easy for you to quietly find such a place in Shuangfan City. But then we have to pay close attention, it is not easy to hide such a thing from the eyes of the forces of all parties, what we have to do is to be one step ahead of others and go to sea before they understand the situation, so as to be able to get rid of their interference. โ
"I found this Mr. Jerez, who has a decent team of craftsmen, and with our men, he should be able to solve the problem quickly," Crete said. โ
"Your Excellency, we will do our best to accomplish what you have to do. Jerez didn't dare to slack off, and bowed his head in front of Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen replied with a simple salute: "Mr. Jerez, I think Crete has already given you some promises, please believe me, as long as you work hard, those will be fulfilled." โ
"Of course, my lord, I just don't know what you need to do? These two ships can be described as perfect, and with the quality of my craftsmen, there is probably not much that can be done. โ
Xiao Chen said: "Perfect? No, no, no, it's still far away."
I have already asked experts to carry out the design of the overall transformation of these two ships. There are many specific tasks that you don't need to take over directly, as long as you give some reference opinions based on your shipbuilding and navigation experience. After all, you are the ones who have fought hard in the waves. โ
"So what are you going to do?"
"First of all, the hull needs to be reinforced, from the keel to the hull needs to be strengthened with magic runes, the exterior must be wrapped with magic alloy, and the mast must be reinforced with high-strength materials for multiple times. In addition, there are enough shield generators on it, as well as some special little things. You may not understand these things, but as long as the people who help us put them in the most appropriate place. โ
Jerez was stunned: "My lord, with all due respect, in terms of sturdiness, these two ships must be able to rank in the top ten among all the ships of the southern city-states, they were originally built according to the standards of warships, and they are still very new......"
"But what if they are going to sail into the Furious Sea?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Crazy ...... The Furious Sea?" Jerez swore that the madman who wanted to sail into the Furious Sea hadn't been seen in hundreds of years.
"Yes, do you still think these measures are excessive?"
"I think you're right. Jerez suppressed the surprise in his heart and replied in a deep voice.
Xiao Chen continued: "Some unnecessary facilities on the ship should be removed and the counterweight should be recalculated. In addition, the painting of the ship will have to be done again, and from now on, these two ships will be called the Houyi and Xingtian. โ
Jerez naturally didn't know the allusions of Hou Yi's shooting for nine days and Xingtian Dance, but Crete had learned it, and he could see Xiao Chen's determination from these two names.
However, Jerez slurred: "My lord, "one thing ......"
"If you have something to say, just say it. โ
"Yes, these two ships are famous throughout the Star-Moon Peninsula and the Pearl Islands, and their appearance is very distinct, if the change of livery is just to hide the way they came, I am afraid it will not have a good effect. โ
"It's okay, the ship was sold to me voluntarily by its owner. โ
"The city lord of Bailang City is actually willing to sell?" Jerez said.
"yes, you don't know yet. The Assassin of Light is dead, and he will die in White Wave City, which can be regarded as the price of two ships. โ
