Chapter 63: A Birthday Present
A blonde girl full of youth, walking alone in a dark corridor.
Looking at the gold collar around her neck and a long white gauze dress that was difficult to estimate, she began to be in a trance again.
How comfortable clothes and shoes...... No wonder girls want to marry aristocrats, even if it's an insignificant mistress.
It was late at night, torches were lit outside the castle, and glowing magic crystals lit up in the corridors, but they still couldn't dispel the gloom and fear.
It's already so late, what else can the master plan to do?
Maybe the birthday is just an excuse......
Ninia's pace slowed down, and she thought a lot for a while.
Although he often made people do things that were difficult for a strong man, and called her a toy in front of his subordinates, it was fair to say that Vincent really didn't abuse her.
It's hard to guess the true motives of his master, but Ninia doesn't think his rule is brutal.
So, this demon is not too bad......
If he had to do something to himself tonight, how could he resist?
Anyway, they are all lustful aristocrats, and the young prince is always a little better than the others, right?
Finally, Ninia couldn't find any more reason to comfort herself, and when she walked to the door, she couldn't help but cry sadly.
"Master, it's me." She shook a bell on the wall outside the door and spoke inside, "I've finished my shower." โ
"Come in on your own." Vincent's voice came from the door, "You know I'm not available to open the door. โ
Ninia pushed open the door alone, walked in with her head down, peeked around, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The lord's room was still like that, not a bedroom, more like a workshop.
It was big enough to fit her house, and it was warm, but it smelled strange.
It's like mixing all the smells of a blacksmith's shop, a tailor's shop, a shoemaker's shop, a carpenter's shack.
The girl really couldn't understand what Vincent was doing in such a place every day.
There is neither mood nor comfort, and no one is allowed to clean up.
"Good evening, dear master," Ninia greeted Vincent humbly, "what can I do for you?" โ
"Heads up, you have a job tonight," Vincent said, gesturing to the two wooden shelves placed in front of the girl, "now put on these, my dressing doll." โ
Ninia raised her head, the girl's youthful breath came to her face, and the wild heroism was mixed with a little pity.
Vincent nodded in satisfaction, and it seemed that his vision was not wrongโshe was suitable.
Ninia's eyes widened when her gaze landed on Vincent's finger, and she opened her lips but didn't know how to speak.
On the shelf on the left, a blue tunic dress with beautiful gold trim is dressed.
The dress was more novel than anything she had ever seen, with high padding at the shoulders and flattering lace at the hem and cuffs.
The only thing that made Ninia a little embarrassed was the open chest design of the skirt, which was difficult to support the ideal height with her current situation.
Compared to this dress, which was enough to amaze her, the things on the shelf next to her made it difficult for her to look away.
It's actually a set of ...... Plate armor?!
In fact, while Ninia was bathing, Vincent began to rub new toys when he got free time.
Whether it is before or after the crossing, the time of rubbing toys makes him relax and sort out all kinds of contradictions.
I have to say that the former owner of Vincent's body is also a ruthless person.
In order to satisfy his hobby of handicrafts, the prince did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to set up various workshops in the fiefdom, hoarded a large number of materials, and raised a large group of craftsmen from all ethnic groups who only served for personal purposes.
At his command, these craftsmen will build and machine all kinds of parts for him whenever and wherever he wants.
From houses to carriages, from jewellery to clothing, from statues to utensils, from tools to furniture, the prince's handicrafts and hobbies were varied.
With a lot of money to open the way, a famous craftsman's personal training, and a rare craftsman's protection, Vincent's craftsmanship level is indeed okay.
It's no wonder that Vincent's hands rub things with his hands and he often feels that the muscles and nerves of his whole body are not working with all their strength, as if he is laughing at the simplification of what he designs.
Unfortunately, the prince's skills are good, but his creativity is limited by race and era, and his vision is not enough to turn more advanced designs into reality.
Looking at the room and room of messy works in the castle, Vincent was silent on the surface, but his heart was actually dripping blood.
This model of sample trial is purely a waste of gold coins!
Those works are made by some craftsmen in the city, and the cost is not to be discounted.
Raising so many craftsmen to play with you in vain is a huge waste in itself.
A pile of rags was also transported with precious teleportation magic, and it would be nice to exchange them for troops and resources.
In the past, the prince was discouraged and disrespected, partly because he did not complain to others, and it was purely self-inflicted.
Look at those things that are simple and stupid, aesthetically flawed, and kept as a treasure, what is the use?
I can't bear to cut my love and sell it to others, I'm afraid it can only be sold for a tattered price.
In this way, there will be no sustainable development.
The protection of the craftsman must be effectively used, but it is a pity that he is only one person, and it is impossible for him to be both diligent in political affairs and discouraged at the same time.
The need to put down the rebellion was urgent, and Vincent needed not only troops and equipment, but also reliable generals.
Among his subordinates, the most loyal and capable of fighting must be the giant scythe, but if this guy is used to quell the rebellion, there will definitely be no grass everywhere he goes.
The newcomer Sadaka is also a good candidate, not only is he strong in force, but he is also familiar with command and combat, he can command skeletons with short-term contracts, and he has a calm personality and will not go on a killing spree.
It's a pity that there are too few subordinates like Sadaka who can fight and can be trusted.
The mercenaries of the garrison were unreliable, and the captain Essen, out of compatriotism, expressed his reluctance to participate in the counterinsurgency.
After looking around, Vincent was surprised to find that not only did he not have a suitable general, but he also had very few living subordinates.
The ones left to breathe are the city idol Ninia, the half-orc Elsa, and the girl boy Prani.
It can't be said that these people are useless, it's not a big problem to form a girl group, but there is no one who can fight.
The only one who has anything to do with the battle is his own dressed doll, Ninia Wald.
Vincent had long discovered that the teenage assassin seemed to be interested in weapons, armor, and armies.
In line with the idea that Yiduo is not pressing, and can also save wages, Vincent definitely fulfills her wishes.
The figure that appeared in his mind at the first sight of her loomed again.
Since it's a birthday, let's have a different one.
If it becomes a hit, you might as well do more in the future.
Vincent quickly convinced himself and began to draw with the Craftsman's Protection.
"Hello, System."
"Ding!"
"I'm going to unlock the 'Design Hand Drawing Skill.'"
"Are you sure you want to unlock the 'Design Hand-Drawn Skill' with 1000 Protection?"
"Sure."
[Bonus Value: 8420/10420]
[Recovery time: 0.5 days]
[Next level: 20000]
ใYou have been rewarded: Reduced Bonus Cost by 10%ใ
[Next level reward: 30% reduction in the cost of protection value for unlocking and upgrading skills]
"I'm going to continue the 'Design Hand-Drawn Skill'," Vincent thought for a moment and ordered the system, "Upgrade the skill to lv2." โ
So, Vincent spent another 1,100 points to upgrade his new skills.
"Continue to unlock the 'Ready-to-Wear and Tailoring Skills', and we will not be short of care."
"Are you sure you want to unlock the 'Ready-to-Wear and Tailoring Skill' with 1000 Protection?"
"Sure."
"Upgrade 'Ready-to-Wear and Tailoring Skills' to Lv3......"
After some manipulation, Vincent looked at the panel and found that he had consumed more than four thousand plus protection at once.
A month ago, it was a completely unimaginable large number, but now I don't blink an eye when I use it.
Anyway, it can be restored in half a day, although it is squandered.
Hurry up and get the whole job done before the puppet arrives.
A few strange things that were not in the territory gradually jumped on the paper.
With the care, sketching and renderings is a breeze for him, who is a former industry expert.
However, without computers and special software, this work became very tedious, and I had to draw a lot of graphics.
It seems that next time I need to talk to the craftsman god and get a magic CAD skill......
So, apart from each other, the mood of the two was completely different.
