Chapter 71: Simple Bella
The number of two stoves made was obviously not very satisfactory to Malone, and seeing that Malone's eagerness to say something more, Claire was the first to speak.
"I know that two steel-making furnaces are a bit overkill for you, but there is no way, you have to be considerate, there are too many places where the territory needs money now, and my funds are also very tight.
Rest assured, there will be many opportunities to make magic artifacts in the future, and there will be places where you can play to your strengths. ”
"Okay." Malone was finally appeased by Claire's words and asked for more.
This made Claire breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly wiped the sweat that did not exist on her forehead, and after telling the craftsmen to pay attention to production safety, she slipped away.
He was afraid that if he stayed here any longer, he would have less money in his wallet.
No, it's already two thousand dinars smaller, and it's already flown away.
As the saying goes, the more you are afraid, the more you are afraid, and before she walked back to the manor, Claire met an uninvited guest on the way, and Bella suddenly appeared in front of Claire.
It turned out that Bella came to find Claire on purpose, and when she heard that Claire was looking for a craftsman, she came to look for it along the way, and just happened to meet Claire who was returning.
However, Claire had a bad premonition when she saw Bella, especially when Bella didn't see Lynn behind her.
Sure enough, Bella's first words almost made Claire unsteady.
"Your Excellency, the previous budget is almost spent, and you need to add more funds to ensure that the construction of the magic tower continues."
Wang Defa, why did he come to ask for money again.
No, Claire thought quickly in her mind, the funds allocated to the construction of the magic tower before were not small, Claire only looked at the accounts a few days ago, it stands to reason that there should be another amount of money, how could there be no money?
In the face of Claire's doubts, Bella, who was quiet and dusty, seemed very reasonable.
"I think the honorable Baron must have forgotten some of the trivial work and words he said when he was inspecting the construction of the Magic Tower."
"What's that?"
For a moment, Claire was a little confused, but then remembered what had happened before.
When Bella carved some runes related to the magic tower before, Claire asked while looking at them, and then couldn't help but draw some runes by herself, and put forward many suggestions for improvement.
Claire originally said it casually, after all, he was complaining that this magic tower was too backward, and it was far worse than the magic fortress with similar functions in his previous life, but he didn't expect Bella to listen to it.
Looking at it like this, it is natural that no small changes have been made according to Claire's complaints and suggestions, resulting in cost overruns.
Claire laughed embarrassedly and said quickly.
"Oh, okay, I know, isn't it just money, you just talk to little Ivan, why bother you to come to me in person."
"It seems that His Excellency the Baron has remembered." Bella looked at Claire with a smirk, and then whispered. "Steward Ivan, I've naturally looked for it, he asked me to come to you, I'm looking for you to go and see the magic tower by the way, I still want to hear your advice?"
"My suggestion?" Claire hurriedly waved her hand and refused, regretting her nonsense before she died, it was a magic tower for transition, and it could be used, why did she have to build it so well, and improve it a little more, her shriveled purse would really not be able to hold it.
"No need, no need, I'm talking nonsense, you're much more powerful in magic, just follow your ideas."
"Are you sure you don't want to check it out?" A trace of doubt flashed in Bella's eyes, and she looked at Claire's expression again, as if she understood Claire's thoughts, and said with a hint of a smile.
"It's okay, whether you go to see it or not, I'll improve some runes, and I'll ask you for more budget when the time comes."
Claire looked at the other party's clear eyes, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, yes, is there any heavenly reason, is there a royal law, that is my money, why can she say it confidently.
What's wrong with this world, when did the one who asked for money become an uncle, and the one who gave money became a grandson.
"Then let's go," Claire said with some weakness, following behind Bella.
"By the way, wasn't the previous rune good, why did you suddenly think about it again." Claire asked with concern.
It's impossible for him not to care, after all, the magic materials for inscribed runes are not cheap, and every time Bella's mind changes, he is paying for it.
"And thank you for that." Bella smiled shallowly, and the smile actually made Claire a little moved.
"I have been reading the basic books you gave me for many days, and I have gained a lot during this time, and I have had a lot of inspiration in the last few days, and I want to apply them to the magic tower."
"You see?" Claire was shocked, what are you kidding, a person who has never been exposed to this knowledge not only understands but also gains inspiration, just this talent, in the empire, I am afraid that it will be broken by those ancient archmages.
Claire looked Bella up and down, as if she had seen some rare treasure, and made several laps around each other.
"Isn't it, do you really understand? Did you just say something wrong, or did I hear it wrong? ”
Bella was very uncomfortable with Claire's eyes, and couldn't help but shiver, then gave Claire a blank look and asked softly.
"It's very clear in the book, there's nothing I can't understand. It's you, you've been getting the book for so long, haven't you even understood it yourself? It doesn't matter, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me, although I don't fully understand, but I can also answer some confusion for you. ”
Bella's words, although they didn't sound like too many emotional fluctuations, were colder than the winter wind in Claire's ears.
At this moment, Claire felt a kind of contempt, a kind of contempt from the other party's intelligence.
Claire wanted to refute the other party on the spot, telling Bella that she didn't understand anything, and even that he made up these books himself, but she couldn't help thinking about it. If you say it now, most of you won't believe it when you see Bella like this, and spreading it will have a bad impact on him.
That's it, don't be angry with her. Let her go.
However, Claire is still very curious that Bella can learn this knowledge without a teacher, you know, even if he learned this knowledge in the classroom in his previous life, it was indispensable to be taught by his mentor.
Claire casually asked Bella a few related questions, and found that Bella really understood.
And Bella told Claire that she had also done a lot of related experiments based on that knowledge, and she thought it was very interesting, and she was going to discuss it with Claire next.
In the end, Bella's summary shocked Claire even more.
"I always feel that these knowledge and theories are too shallow, this should be an extremely complex and interrelated system, if I have the opportunity, I would like to meet the great magician senior, to see what kind of genius the other party is, actually created such a theory."
