Section 57. Spinning machine

"How much cotton thread can these spinning wheels spin per day?"

With his appearance and sincerity, Annan approached the female workers who had not yet started work in the early morning.

The shy young girls did not dare to talk, and the women gathered around Annan and talked.

"Why don't you start work yet!" The factory owner came in at this time, and the female workers returned to their positions, revealing Annan. "Uh...... Your Excellency Annan? ”

He hurriedly restrained his arrogant attitude.

"You know me?"

"Mr. Andrew Luna said you live here temporarily." The factory owner replied to Annan's doubts, "Don't you know yet?" The house is his. ”

No wonder Andrew Luna has put himself here.

"I'm curious about these machines, how do they make them?"

"Goblin Workshop. Those goblins are lazy and ugly, but they are good at building these machines. ”

Annan looked at the spinning wheel in operation: "Do they have a better machine?" ”

"Uh...... Because Mr. Andrew Luna's rent is too high, we can't afford to use a spinning wheel that is too good......"

The efficiency of the spinning wheel is similar to that of Annan's investigation in the past two days.

"Can I take a look here?"

"Absolutely!"

The factory owner also hoped that Annan would intercede for him, and there were no secrets to steal from here anyway. "Do you need me to accompany you on a tour?"

"No thanks."

"You're so polite......"

The boss left in a good mood. Occasionally, he could be heard repeating the "thank you" sound wafting out of his mouth.

Annan first went to the spinning wheels of the young girls, but they became clumsy and could not spin yarn because of their nervousness, so they had to go and observe the women again.

Jenny's spinning machine in her mind gradually outlines the outline.

Now that you have an idea, it's time to make it happen. But Annan can't do it, he needs to find a suitable person.

Come to the Morrowind Tavern next door and knock on the office at the end of the hallway on the second floor. The guy passing by said that the boss was downstairs, so Annan came to the hall again.

Some eyes fell on him, vaguely sweeping over the mage's robes before leaving some of them, and after Andrew Luna beckoned to him, the other disappeared as well.

Annan saw that Michael and the dwarf were there. As I walked down the stairs, a joke about the outdated guests came from the wine table next to me:

"A warrior wants to avenge his dead brother. The elf said, "My bow and arrows will help you." The druids say that this forest will help you. The bard said, "My singing is with you." And your brother, said the necromancer. ”

A low chuckle banished the dullness of the day's tavern, and Annan came to Soruman Copperbeard and them.

"We're going to you, what's the matter?"

Soluman Copperbeard knew that Annan wouldn't come for nothing.

"I'm looking for Michael." Annan looked at the magician who had put down his wine glass when he heard the words, "Can you borrow a magic item that can release defensive spells?" ”

"Borrow?"

"You know, the peculiarities of warlocks......" Annan felt helpless, "I don't know if I can learn defensive spells. ”

It's not enough to summon the Blue Dragon, it can't stay by Annan's side all the time. And there is no difference between a caster of spells who can't defend against spells and a civilian, and they are vulnerable to death.

"I'll bring it to you in a few days." Michael said.

Annan said something else: "Where are the goblins in Breezy City?" I'm looking for them to make something. ”

"How do you want to find them?" Andrew Luna remembers the bad things, "They are greedy and cunning, and they are by no means good partners......"

"I want to try to make a machine."

"Machines? Spinning wheels? Andrew Luna recalls the special construction, "Goblins do love these machines. But don't just find a bunch of goblins. They'll just eat your thoughts and wipe them clean and make you owe them a lot of money. ”

"Then I'd better find a carpenter."

"Don't you have a suitable candidate?" Soruman Copperbeard suddenly said, "That goblin reading at the fork in the road, it looks much smarter. ”

"Goblins in the field can also make spinning wheels?"

"I don't know, it's just a suggestion."

"If you say the goblins are very smart, it will not be difficult to make a spinning wheel." Michael raised his glass, "Goblins have a talent for machines like a warlock, and they can get the results they want by 'thinking'. ”

Annan felt that Michael was belittling the warlock as a mage, but it was also possible that he was thinking too much.

"You're a warlock, and you've been caught in the maelstrom...... Leave it to me, and I'll let the mage apprentice take your place. Michael shook his glass and watched the wine swirl, "Give me the goblin's address." ”

"The four-way forest fork from Hirabayashi Town to Breeze City." Annan thought for a moment and said, "If it's not there, you can find him from the fork in the road and west from the goblin lair in the Lost Forest." ”

"Got it."

Michael quickly arranged for the mage apprentice to set off in the afternoon, and also brought Annan two protective spell scrolls and one detection spell scroll, which were shielding, ironclad and malicious detection.

There are also enough magical materials to sustain the meditation ritual for a week.

Annan was also quick to tell him three pieces of bad news: he couldn't learn any of these spells.

"It's like 'Doom's Favor,'......" Michael described Annan's strange powers, "don't be discouraged, you can also use magic items." ”

Mage robes, rings, wands, and other things worn by mages can be marked with defensive or offensive spells.

Some are like magic scrolls that can only be used once. There are also limits to the number of times you can use them per day. The former cost only one-third of the magic scroll of the same spell, while the latter swelled to five to twenty times in an instant.

For example, a magic ring engraved with a one-time arcane missile costs about 50 gold, but a magic ring that can be used once a day will cost no less than 700 gold.

The good news is that Annan may not be able to afford a magic ring after getting the Jenny loom.

Inviting the goblins, Michael is helping him, and Andrew Luna will have the men deliver the daily food. So Annan didn't go out all day today, stayed in the attic to meditate, and after reaching the limit of daily meditation, he thought about how to sell Jenny's spinning machine.

Reproducing Jenny's spinning machine doesn't mean a lot of gold coins in your pocket. There are no patents in this world, and spinning machines are so simple that as long as Annan sells the finished product, within a month, the same spinning machines will be all over the spinning mills in Breeze City.

So it's best to work with nobles who will make merchants jealous.

And the only nobles that Annan knew and could rely on were the Winchert family.

Nothing to do with the Wine Lady...... At least it doesn't matter - Lady Wine's niece is Lindy, who is Mr. Victor's apprentice, and Annan trusts Victor.

Annan ran down the attic and found Soruman Copperbeard in the tavern.

"I'd like to meet the Wine Lady."
