Chapter 281: Such a Ship
"Is that you?" said Master Burgon with a wonderful look on his face when he saw Donner. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The second-level magic circle with amazing skills just now was actually drawn by this "unlearned" Helian man, and the "genius student" who had high hopes for him just stole one of his assignments during the entrance test.
There is nothing that can make this magic array master who has seen a lot of the world so surprised and embarrassed.
"Mage Bogon......" Donner was also a little surprised, he didn't expect to meet the magic array master that Zoe had introduced to him again so soon.
"You're John Smith?" said Master Burgon, still a little unconvinced.
"Yes," Donner nodded slightly, "I'm John Smith." ”
In fact, the last time he saw the old man on his estate, Donner introduced himself. It's just that Bo Geng is too old, and all his thoughts during that time were on Master Cook, a "genius student", where can he remember the name of a "layman".
"You drew this circle?" Master Boegen, holding the hand of the second-level circle, had shrunk a little from old age, and his dry skin was covered with wrinkles and spots.
Donner didn't speak, but smiled at Selene who was standing behind Master Burgon.
The Maitim girl immediately understood and replied, "Yes, my lord, this circle was drawn by Master John, and I saw it with my own eyes. ”
"You only joined a month ago?" said Master Boegen's questions.
"Yes. Donner shrugged.
Master Boeon finally nodded with satisfaction: "I have decided, I will take you as an apprentice......"
Donner looked at Boeon suspiciously, wondering why he had such a strange idea out of nowhere. If it had been a month ago, he might have been a little interested in this old man, but now that he has the help of his brain, he doesn't need any teachers at all.
However, considering that the other party was well-intentioned after all, and a lot of age, Donner still replied tactfully: "That's great, I'll ask you for advice when I have time." ”
"Young man......" said Master Boegen, "I don't have much time......"
Hearing such a voice, even Selene was a little moved.
However, Donner's scalp was tingling.
He really wanted to answer, "I don't have much time." ”
But what he said was, "Well, I'm done with the matter at hand, so I'll come and ask you for advice." ”
Mage Boegen's expression was visibly disappointed.
"Okay, good ......," he said, placing the circle with John's name on it on the workbench, turning and walking out tremblingly.
Looking at the old man's lonely back, Donner was somewhat embarrassed.
It's just that he really doesn't have time to waste on the other party.
Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly, put away the magic circle, and asked Selene, "Is there any other formalities to be done?"
"Hmm...... I'll take care of the formalities for you. Selene replied.
"So, it's still the same? a hundred second-level magic circles, and then you can apply for promotion to third-level membership?" Donner asked.
"No, you only need forty second-level circles," Selene explained with a smile, "A certificate of sale, or a physical one with your name on it." ”
"Yay. ”
It's really good, if you want to draw a hundred second-level circles, it will take too long.
Since receiving the help of the brain, Donner no longer needs to go through the Magic Array Association to obtain information on high-level magic arrays.
However, considering that in order to accumulate data for the brain calculus, he would still draw all the known magic arrays roughly, and in the process, he was promoted to a senior member of the Magic Array Association, which was just a matter of convenience.
Of course, if you want to sell your works at a high price, you still can't do without the signboard of the Magic Array Association.
......
Early the next morning, Anderson, the craftsman, arrived at Donner's manor as promised.
Behind him were two elderly Madtims, one of whom appeared to be disabled and limped along.
"Young Master John......" Standing in the luxurious manor reception room, Anderson was obviously a little reserved.
"Uncle Ada was in San Diego and helped build two stone arch bridges across the St. Francis River. He pointed to the obvious better of the two old men and introduced.
"Good. Donner nodded in satisfaction, waiting for the other to continue.
"Mr. Grover, who used to be the engineering manager of the shipyard under the Spring Saint Academy," Anderson looked a little embarrassed, "until he was injured three years ago......"
"Oh?" Donner looked at the lame old man and asked with interest, "What kind of ships are being built in the shipyard of the Spring Sacred Courtyard?"
"Build any ship, young master. The lame Grover replied cautiously. The opportunity to work at the moment was more important to him than the other two - for the simple reason that since that injury, he had rarely been able to find a decent job, and his life had been getting worse lately, and he had been sent out to beg.
"What about the spaceship? the kind of ship that can cross the Sea of Oblivion. Donner asked casually.
"Yes, young master, that kind of greenhouse spaceship is all built in the shipyard of the Spring Sacred Courtyard. Grover replied.
"I'm afraid it will take a long time to get a ship like that in the morning, right?" asked Donner, as if in curiosity.
"Yes, it will take two years at the shortest, and this does not include the time it takes to draw the magic circle. Grover replied without thinking.
"Well......" Donner smiled, and asked Ada, another Madim, "Do you know the two islands in the middle of the river on the southern outskirts of the Holy City?"
"Young master, do you mean that island in the middle of the river with a broken bridge on it?" asked the old man named Ada.
"Yes, that's it," Downer nodded, "If I'm going to be there, how long will it take to build seven stone bridges connecting the island to the two shores?"
"For seven bridges, as long as there are enough people and stones...... Two years should be enough...... Ada replied.
Donner frowned and pondered for a while, then asked, "How many people do you mean by having enough manpower?"
"It's better to have fifty people, the strength of the demon pet should be great......," Ada said tentatively.
"What if I give you five hundred, how quickly can you build it?" asked Donner at once.
"Five hundred......" Ada took a long breath, then replied categorically, "Four months at most!"
Donner shook his head slightly, obviously not too happy with the answer.
"If it's fast, it'll be three months......" Ada quickly added.
"Good ......," Donner smiled with satisfaction, "Anderson, you go find five hundred men, each of which must meet Ada's requirements......"
As he spoke, he handed a drawing to Ada: "Just follow the drawings on this, seven bridges, build five first, and build the other two positions, build a temporary dock for me, the dock should be fast, understand?"
"Grover, you tell Ada about the dockyard's request tomorrow. Donner commanded the lame craftsman.
"But young master, I don't know what ship you're going to build......" Grover thought.
Donner smiled slightly, didn't answer his question, and handed Anderson a bag of magic crystals: "You and Ada go and secure the manpower first, and leave Grover behind." ”
"Yes, young master!" Anderson was about to pick up the bag of magic crystals, when his half-outstretched hand stopped there.
I saw Donner look at him coldly, and said in a deep voice: "How much money is spent on each person, how much stone is used, all of them have to be given me a breakdown, understand? I will send someone to the scene to count the number." ”
"Yes, young master!" Anderson said, "Don't worry, I will never spend money indiscriminately!"
"Very well," Donner tossed the bag of magic crystals into his arms, "you go first." ”
Not long after, Anderson left with Ada.
In the reception room, only Donner and Grover were left.
That's when Donner pulled out another, much larger drawing, and handed it to Grover.
"Will you build a boat like this?" he asked with interest.
