106: East wind
Hearing Aslan's surprised voice, the Michelo butler immediately raised his head excitedly.
"Yes, young master. Ever since you gave me that drawing, I've had a few people do it. ”
"You said in the drawings that we wanted trees and a lot of water, so we built a wooden house here and made 'paper' here, but at first, we didn't get the hang of it. Luckily, though, I found out that one of the new immigrants in Skyfield City was a former bachelor, so I brought him in to guide our experiments. ”
The Bachelors are scholars in Zaft who are very different from the magicians, and they prefer to look at mechanical technology.
"It's this Maester Addison. Michelo pointed behind him to the rather old man who had been left behind.
"You say his name is Edison?" Aslan's head felt stuck.
"Hello Lord Castle, I'm Addison, who just came to your Flying City, not Edison. Addison saluted Aslan.
"I'm sorry, but Grandpa Michelo said you made this paper?" said Aslan, looking at the bachelor.
Addison didn't say it directly, he looked at Aslan and asked, "Lord City, did you really make up that recipe?"
"I made it up. Aslan laughed.
At least in this world, this thing is made by itself!
"The idea of this recipe is really amazing, the original paper is made by the Wizards' Guild, although I don't know how they made it, but the cost of their manufacturing must be very high, but this thing of yours, only needs trees as raw materials, and there are some manual operations, this is simply a god-like work. Addison spoke, and there was an indescribable madness in his eyes.
Aslan pulled the Michelo butler to the side, and he asked softly: "Is this person reliable, although I don't want to keep the technology of making paper for too long, but if he ...... directly"
The Michelo butler smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have investigated him before, he was a despised bachelor before, destitute and poor, because of his madness for experiments and new things, no one wanted to hire him, and then he started to travel alone, saying that traveling is actually begging for a living, but in this way he still did not give up his philosophy, so I think this person should be used by us." ”
Aslan walked back to Addison, and as he looked at the paper on the table, he asked, "Can you tell me how you got this thing out, the drawings I wrote can be said to be very rudimentary." ”
Addison pointed to the paper on the table, he said: "Although your recipe is not very complete, but you have talked about some important steps, the next thing is that I added some of my own ideas, such as how to make pulp quickly become a usable paper, I added a little cloud fruit, the ingredients contained in cloud fruit make the paper that originally took a long time, and ............ at once, and "
Aslan found that Addison had a lot to say when he talked about these things about research.
Aslan pondered for a moment, and he said to the Michelo butler behind him, "Grandpa Michelo, you go out first, I have something to talk to Master Addison." ”
"Yes, young master. ”
The Michelo butler slowly exited the room.
"Lord Castle, I know you're worried that I'm going to leak these techniques of yours. Addison sat casually on the wooden bench next to him: "Actually, I'm not interested in those, I just want to keep exploring new things and doing research, so to speak, I'm similar to an alchemist, but I'm involved in a wider range of fields." ”
This is the first time Aslan has seen someone in this world who has such an exploratory view.
Aslan pulled out a piece of paper from his bosom.
"Master Addison, I want to have a good conversation with you, I appreciate your knowledge and your desire to explore. Aslan said with a smile.
"Do you want me to serve you, no, no, I'm not interested in that frivolous stuff, and if it hadn't been for that Michelo butler showing me your recipe, maybe I'd have left here by now to explore new knowledge." Addison said casually.
"Then what if I say that I have what you want here!" Aslan said with a faint smile.
Addison's eyes lit up at first, but he shook his head again and said, "It's not easy for me to ask for things, I'm not interested in what I know!"
Aslan looked at the piece of paper he had taken out in his hand, and he smiled: "If I tell you, what is gunpowder, what is a musket, what is perfume, what is .................."
Aslan said everything he could have in his mind that could come up in this world.
Addison's eyes slowly became hot, and he said a little excitedly, "Lord Castle, do you really have these things that I have never heard of?" Would you like to tell me and let me study them?"
"Of course I can't tell you easily, but if you're willing to sign this contract, then I can tell you everything you don't know. Aslan put the piece of paper in his hand in front of Addison and said seductively.
"This contract?" Addison just glanced casually at the contract, he looked at Aslan and asked, "But how do I know if what you say is true?" ”
"This contract is a soul contract, and if you sign this contract, you can't do anything that is unfavorable to me, and there are some other binding conditions. Of course, I won't hurt you either. As for whether I'm lying to you or not, I'll take you to see one thing first, and you'll know. Aslan said seductively.
This soul contract was redeemed by Aslan from the Endless Lord system, and it was worth two thousand faith points, and if it weren't for the fact that he had firmly grasped this "scientific researcher", he wouldn't have used this thing.
Flying City is really short of such talents! This kind of scientific research talent, which does not overlap magic at all, is the key to his future climb to the tech tree.
Bang bang bang!
"Look at this thing. Aslan said with a smile.
Addison's eyes widened as he looked at the iron rod-like thing, which he had seen on the street before, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.
There was already a small hole in the middle of the boulder fifty meters away.
"This smell is the smell produced by the burning of the Shuyan stone, and there should be sulfur in it, but why can it produce such great power? ”
"You've seen it, so let's go back and talk about it first. ”
Aslan didn't expect that this person could find so many things just by smelling the smoke in the air.
Aslan took Addison, who was immersed in shock and incomprehension, back to the cabin, and he sat down on a wooden bench and said, "Do you want to know how that thing is made, you can rest assured that this contract will not restrict your freedom, and I can provide for your life,............"
Before Aslan could finish speaking, Addison had already snatched the contract from his hand, and he bit his finger and signed his name on the contract.
Brush!
At that moment, the contract turned into a ray of light and flew separately into Aslan and Addison's bodies.
Aslan didn't expect him to move so fast, he said, "You made a decision so quickly, and you don't think about it." ”
Addison smiled and said, "As long as I can keep exploring new things, even if it's a demon's contract!"
What a madman.
"Okay, now you're an official member of our Flying City. Aslan laughed.
Addison looked at Aslan anxiously and said, "Then when can you tell me the principle of that musket, and that gunpowder." ”
"Yes, I'll write it down and show it to you. But before you can do that, you need to finish what you're doing. Aslan said that those things only need to come out of their heads.
"What's the matter?" asked Addison, confused.
"I need you to figure out a complete papermaking process and give it to me. Aslan said.
Now that the paper has been made, the sooner the paper mill is put into production, the better, the world is still very short of paper, even if it is sold as a commodity, you can keep it and use it, but it is annoying to use animal skins all the time.
"Okay, no problem. But if I get it done, you must tell me the principles of those things, and if one day I find that there is nothing I am interested in with you, please break our contract, and rest assured that I will not tell anyone what I have learned from you. Addison felt like his ideal soul was burning again.
"No problem!" Aslan chuckled, he had a lot of things in his head, and he didn't believe you could learn them all.
"I'll also build you a lab for your research experiments. Aslan said with a smile.
The idea of a new magical golem had been formed in Aslan's mind, and he was still studying how to explain the existence of such a thing to Simalan, but now he had this Addison.
It can be said that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!
