The lame old man Grover looked at the drawings and then at Donner, and after going back and forth a few times, he frowned and asked, "Young Master, why does this boat look like a fish?"

He was right, the boat depicted by Donner had two fins on both sides and a tail that resembled a fish's tail. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This shape is not entirely by Donner's hand - he drew the sketch and then modified it by the brain according to the aerodynamics.

"Can you make it?" asked Donner.

"Yes!" Grover nodded heavily.

"Very well," said Donner, "I want to use the strongest wood, and the best craftsmen, can you find one?"

Grover thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Young Master, won't your ship also fly?"

"Do you think it can fly?" asked Donner casually.

"I don't know. Grover shook his head awkwardly.

"Then don't ask...... Donner's expression suddenly froze.

"Yes, yes," Old Man Grover nodded hurriedly and said, "Young Master, no matter how good the wood is, how good the craftsman, I can find it for you, but in this way, I am afraid that the cost will be ......."

"I'll talk about this later," Donner waved his hand, "Tell me first, how long will it take you to build a boat like this?"

“...... year. Grover tentatively said a moment.

"Too long!" Donner replied bluntly.

"Young master, when the wood is dry, it will take time to set. "Grover is embarrassed.

"Hmm......" Donner frowned and nodded slightly, "That's ...... too"

"Young Master, if you want to be fast, it's not impossible," Grover suddenly thought of an idea: "I also know some old fellows in the shipyard of the Spring Sacred Courtyard, through which they can make some very rare wood, and they have already dried in the shade and will not be deformed, but ...... The price would be even higher. ”

"Okay, that's a good idea," Donner stared at him and reminded, "I'll let you earn the money you should make, but you can't cut corners, understand?"

Grover looked at Donner's eyes, was startled, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, young master, don't worry, I will treat your ship like my own child." ”

"Well, in this case, you ask your old fellows to find a main beam of similar shape and transport it as soon as possible, and I will modify the shape of the ship slightly according to the shape of the main beam. Remember, the best material!" Donner stressed again.

"Yes, young master, the best material. Grover nodded, confirming that he understood Donner.

Donna glanced at the other man with satisfaction, reached into his arms, and took out a purple magic crystal.

The moment Grover saw Amethyst, his expression suddenly became excited, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Little, young master, this ship is not big, and it doesn't need so much money." ”

"I knew it took materials, people and time to build a boat. But I need you to build the ship before Ada builds those five bridges. Donner smiled and said, "If you don't have enough time, you can only spend more money." ”

"So, you want to build this boat in three months?"

"Don't forget, it takes time to build a shipyard. Downer reminded.

"That's so nervous...... Grover stopped halfway with his outstretched hand, not daring to pick up the amethyst.

"I'll give you four months, and in four months the dock will be dismantled, and before then, you'll have to finish the hull part of the boat to float on the St. Francis River, and I can give you ......another three months for the rest of the structure," Donner explained.

"In that case, it should be fine!" Grover's furrowed brow didn't widen until then.

After that, Grover solemnly put away the amethyst, and was about to leave the manor, when he was stopped by Donner.

"Go get a carriage first, the fastest one!" he commanded in a loud voice.

Grover understood what Donner meant, and nodded respectfully: "Yes, young master, I'll go buy it now, and I can go to the shipyard tomorrow morning at the latest......"

......

As soon as Grover left, Wesley walked into the reception room.

"Are you really going to build that strange ship?" he was a little surprised.

"yes, how else would we go back to Middle-earth?" asked Donner.

Wesley was stunned for a moment, and then asked uneasily, "You won't just leave it to the old man just now, right?"

"What's the problem?" Donner shrugged.

"He's like this...... It's not like he has that ability......" Wesley frowned and shook his head.

"If you look only at appearances, you don't look like a poet or a painter. Donner smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it when the work starts." ”

"Why don't you just entrust the shipyard to build one? I heard that the shipyard of the Spring Sacred Temple can accept the commission. Wesley suggested.

"Do you want me to give you money and try to build a spaceship?" Donner teased, "Do you think they'll build it for you?"

Wesley thought for a moment, shrugged, and didn't speak again.

This question is easy to answer, since the Magic Continent strictly controls the trade channels with Middle-earth, it is not easy for ordinary people to buy a spaceship that can cross the Forgotten Sea.

That's why Donner had to build his own boat.

The ship he was going to build was much smaller than an ordinary spaceship, and once it was built, no one could tell that it would be a spaceship just by the part exposed on the water.

But it would be different if such a ship were to be built by a shipyard - Grover had already vaguely guessed that it was a ship just by looking at the complete drawings.

It's just that Grover only has some doubts, after all, in addition to the hull, the ship also needs to draw a large number of wind circles on the bottom of the ship, which is not on the drawings.

......

Since being commissioned by Grantis to build the Seven Bridges, Donner has been almost free.

During the entire bridge construction project, he did not have to report to the superintendent every day.

He obtained this right from the elders on the condition that the construction of the Seven Bridges be completed within five months.

In fact, because of this promise, Downer not only could not deduct some project money, but also had to pay out of pocket for the tight construction schedule.

Still, the thought of being able to get a full five months of freedom made it well worth the money.

Besides, he didn't pay for the money himself - the last time Shaida and Ruiko came over, they brought him a small bag, dozens of amethysts.

Donner calculated that he only needed to spend two amethysts at most for the two projects of shipbuilding and bridgemaking.

Compared to the high-level magic cores he wanted to buy in large quantities, the money was nothing.

Thinking of this, Donner went to the studio on the second floor again and began to draw the second-level magic array.

This time, he no longer drew all of them in order to improve efficiency like he had done when he had completed a hundred first-level magic arrays.

Because, in addition to completing the forty second-level magic circles required by the Magic Array Association, he also needs to analyze the magic array for the wisdom brain and continue to accumulate data.

In other words, he had to draw forty distinct second-level circles.

This process takes about 20 days.
