Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Tyrant Horst
"What kind of drawing is this?" Tucker was a little curious, though he could be sure that the parchment was drawing a diagram of the structure of something, but he had never seen anything like it. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Horst pretended to be mysterious, not intending to reveal the mystery, but this was the mechanical schematic diagram he remembered best. This kind of machinery, which does not involve chemical changes, but is able to convert one energy into another, is this kind of machinery that started the process of industrialization in the previous life, and made the previous life where Horst was located undergo rapid development.
Now, Horst hopes that this kind of machine can also bring some development to this world, and of course he also has his own layer of applications.
Horst didn't say much, and the crowd didn't ask.
"Shirley, you go and determine the specific location of the mage's workshop, and then give this drawing to the craftsmen over there, and let them build it according to the drawing. Horst handed the parchment to Shirley, took out a small bag of gold coins, and handed it to her, "This is the deposit for the mage's workshop, if it is not enough, come back to me when the time comes." ”
The deposit for this small bag is at least hundreds of gold coins, and generally speaking, ordinary people can't get so much, and only a profession like summoning mages that makes money and burns money can get it. At this time, the store next to the counter was already shocked by the way Horst took out a bag of gold coins. In this world, people generally use brown cloth bags to hold gold coins, and the mouth is tied with gold lines, which is also a feature, and because of this, the store will be shocked.
Generally speaking, the Mage's Workshop will charge a deposit of 10% of the total price of the machine, and the total price usually needs to be estimated in advance. Therefore, the deposit is only a part, which may be more than one-tenth or less than one-tenth, and the remaining money will be paid off after the completion of the construction and acceptance by the owner. However, it seems that very few people have a deposit of more than ten gold coins to build a machine.
You must know that the craftsmen of the mage's workshop are generally mages, especially elemental mages. One of the characteristics of the elemental mage is that it can extract the desired elemental aggregate directly from the elemental force, without the need to use fire to calcinate ore and smelt metal. However, elemental mages are also able to enrich and purify certain elements from ores.
"Horst, let me go with Shirley, I'm afraid she'll get lost. It was Tucker who said this, and when Dennis heard this, he instantly squinted and forgot about the past.
Dennis said, "I said, Brother Tucker, can we not show affection? I can't stand you like this." ”
"No!" shouted in unison this time.
After this short episode, everyone was in a good mood, and Horst explained a few more words, and after agreeing to Tucker's request, he said nothing more. Immediately, the people began to walk out of the inn and asked everywhere for news, and the nightingale was left in the inn.
Haixin City is not very big, and it is not very small, but the congestion of this city is significantly more than that of the imperial capital of the Shenyang Empire. From time to time, strange people walked through the streets, they were orcs.
After passing through the crowd of people, after Horst's inquiry, he led Molia to the west of Seaheart, where the ship was located.
For some reason, it was a little cold in front of the ship's door.
Walk into the hall of the ship and welcome the reception staff.
"Hello, may I ask you two, is there anything important about coming to the ship?" The receptionist was a tall, thin man, a little listless, and his tone did not have the kind of respect for the customer.
"Hello, is there any boat for hire here?" Horst asked, both he and Molia were in a bad mood at this time, both because of the strange tone of the tall and thin man in front of him.
"There are no boats to rent, you are at the wrong door. The tall and thin man looked a little impatient, "Let's go, don't get in the way of our ship's business?"
Upon hearing this, Horst was a little amused. It's almost noon, and logically speaking, this should be the time for people to come and go, especially the business of leasing sea vessels such as ship dealers. There are a lot of people who travel between the three continents, and many times renting a sea ship is more cost-effective than using a teleportation array, if not for a particularly urgent matter.
On the side of the ship, the ship company controls all the sea-crossing business of the Gama Empire, so it naturally attaches great importance to the rental of sea boats. However, what I didn't expect was that there was no boat for hire now, which made Horst unable to figure it out, and it was cold in front of the door, which was also a strange place.
"What's going on?" asked Moria softly, her heart more delicate enough to focus on what Horst had overlooked, "Or is there something unspeakable?"
"Forget it, forget it, it's okay to tell you. Although the tall and thin man looked impatient, he still waved his hand, indicating that he would give an explanation, "In this area of Haixin City, there are bigtooth whales, and now people are panicking, because of this, we only rent offshore fishing boats here, not long-sea sailing boats." ”
When Horst heard this, he understood a little. It seems that the Bigtooth Whale is indeed doing it, and in fact Horst has heard some discussions, most of them about the Bigtooth Whale.
This area of Haixin City is extremely normal on weekdays. But I don't know when, a group of bigtooth whales came to the depths of the ocean, disrupting shipping between several continents. Yes, not one, but a group.
Their location is not yet well known, but it is said to be right in the center of the crossroads of the three continents, where ships often pass through.
Oddly enough, the Megalodon does not come to the offshore area, although it has been seen in some parts of the offshore area.
Because of this, inshore fishing boats can hunt marine fish with peace of mind, while long-sea vessels are difficult to navigate, which can lead to deserted boats.
Sea boat rental, in fact, is equivalent to the bus in the previous life, except that you need to book seats and space in advance.
"Of course, there is another reason, the wind is blowing in the direction of the wind at this time, which is not good for navigation. If a sea vessel were to sail, it would take at least three times longer than usual. The tall and thin reception staff looked a little helpless this time.
When Horst heard this, he understood something in his heart.
Nowadays, when you sail, you usually sail against the wind, which takes much longer than other times. This is the most important thing, Horst has planned the time it will take to travel to the mainland, but he has not calculated that the current situation will occur.
Suddenly, Horst remembered the drawing and shook his head. With the machinery built in that drawing, if it were applied to a seagoing vessel, the effect of wind direction on sailing speed would no longer exist. Moreover, once that mechanism is installed on a seagoing vessel, the seagoing vessel can sail at least twice as fast as usual.
"Are you sure you don't want to rent it?" Horst said directly, no longer paying attention to the tall and thin man's suggestion, and now he disliked beating around the bush and wasting time by directing like that.
"If you don't rent it, you have to worry about the safety of sea navigation for one or two people, and you can't row it. If there is any loss to the ship, we will lose a lot. The tall and thin man frowned, it was clear that he didn't seem to have much right to call the shots, but he was able to make the stakes clear.
"Then I'll buy a sea boat. Horst said, looked at Moliya, and smiled, "Your boyfriend is a local tyrant now." ”
Horst was right, he couldn't have been idle for a month after returning to the academy from Suva City. If you don't have anything to do, you naturally have to find something to do. Naturally, Horst wants to go to the Summoner Guild to find an opportunity to complete the mission and earn a certain reward. These rewards naturally have a large number of gold coins, and it can be said that the current Horst is a real landlord and a rich man!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have given so much gold to Shirley to pay the deposit for the mage's workshop.
"Buy...... "The tall and thin man stammered a little, he had always seen people come to rent boats, but he had never seen people come to buy them, did the young man in front of him have a burning head? Or was it a nerve that was wrong?
"That's right, it's buying. Horst was not verbose, and directly took out a purple card, inlaid with purple spars, and the logo of the Summoning Mage Guild, "This is a card of 100,000 gold coins, bearer." ”
"Local tyrant!" Molia's face darkened at this time, "The loser is not defeated like this." ”
"Just buy a boat. Horst was very calm, but the tall and thin man in front of him was very surprised, even a little panicked. He never dared to believe that there could be a young man who would have a fortune of 100,000 gold coins.
"I'm a summoning mage. Horst explained, knowing what the tall and thin man thought, "You should know that summoning mages. ”
When the thin and tall man heard this, he immediately sobered up, nodded quickly, and then met the smiling face.
The next thing is very simple, the tall and thin man turns around and finds the operator of the ship, and then Horst goes through a simple transaction process with the operator and buys a sea boat. Although 100,000 gold coins were more than enough to buy a sea boat, Horst directly handed over the purple crystal card to the operator, which was considered a renovation cost.
That's right, from the very beginning, Horstta wanted to buy a seagoing ship and rebuild it with the aim of fitting that kind of mechanism.
The purple crystal card, although it is said to be bearer, has the spiritual imprint of Horst, and the operator has also checked it, and there are indeed 100,000 gold coins in it. In this way, the tall and thin man and the operator treated Horst and Molia more and more politely, even worshipfully.
Although there is a reason for the big tooth whale, buying a sea boat does not mean going to sea immediately, and Horst and others also have to carry out a mission, and the goal of the mission is to kill some big tooth whales.
Originally, the ship's operator suggested that Horst recruit a few boatmen, but Horst refused. Of course, it wasn't Horst who drove the boat himself, but he already had the means, naturally the kind of mechanical device that could convert energy into the power of the ship to move forward.
"Brother Shi, you are really a loser. Stepping out of the boat, Molia still complained a little, but looked at Horst's confident face and stopped talking.
"One hundred thousand gold coins is only a fraction of my wealth, you must know that in the summoning mage industry, millions of gold coins are not worth much. Horst joked, he wasn't right at all.
"Okay, you win, I lose. ”
