Chapter 268 [Late Night Visit] (2-in-1)
(2-in-1, 7,000 words!)
The workshop of Wushuang Fang is next to the Academy of Magic, and after receiving the special approval of the Academy, this workshop has poured a lot of effort into the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce, and a large number of apprentices and craftsmen have settled in, and those magic students under Chen Daolin have also been hanging here all day long.
The workshop is still working hard to build the "Sword of the Force", and the most basic fire-type red version has already produced more than 200 swords.
But in the past few days, another secret mission has been received in the workshop.
Professor Darling himself came and took out a few drawings and asked the craftsmen in the workshop to create something from the drawings. There was nothing strange about the drawings, a carpenter-turned-fellow could barely make out them, and when put together, they seemed to look like the axles of the carriage chassis of a horse-drawn carriage.
It's just that Professor Darling asked for it to be made of metal, and the precision requirements were also very high.
In addition, a production room was set aside in the workshop, and Professor Darling took Degusman Lucius and a group of students to get into it, and they didn't come out for three days.
I don't know what these people are doing in it. Professor Darling only selected twenty craftsmen to help, and these twenty craftsmen ranged from carpenters to blacksmiths from all walks of life. And after these people also entered, they were not allowed to enter and leave at will.
The entire workshop was temporarily sealed, and anyone entering or leaving had to be allowed by Chen Daolin. This is true even for the students in the academy.
In this way, everyone understands that most of the time this professor has come up with something new and magical, which is still in the stage of secrecy.
Fifty meters around the workshop was turned into a forbidden area, and no one was allowed to approach it. The rest of the production workshop only occasionally hears some strange sounds coming from there.
In the middle of the night, you can hear a booming movement. There was also a "whine" sound like the roar of a wild beast, which was loud and seemed to be a little sharp and harsh.
Sometimes, during the day, you can see smoke coming out of the roof windows of the workshop.
Even sometimes, the magic students and craftsmen who enter and exit the gate have black and white faces.
No one knows what is going on here, only that a large amount of coal is being brought in every day.
The only leak came from De Guzman.
This guy was once ordered by Professor Darling to go to the academy to pick up a new batch of materials. The guy in charge of logistics in the academy couldn't help but ask a few questions.
De Goumans was reluctant to reveal it at first, but after being asked too much, the excited young man finally couldn't help but show a little bit of a mouthful.
"Hmph, those old stubborns in the academy who have been attacking our Darling teacher in the mechanical department are useless, and they are against the tradition of magic. Wait for the 29th competition. It's sure to convince them!"
The word was quickly heard. Everyone understood: although it was not yet certain what Professor Darling was doing, it was certain that it had something to do with the 29th-day competition.
This one whetted everyone's appetite. Everyone wondered what the hell this magic professor was going to do to defeat the power of traditional magic.
Chen Daolin also temporarily stopped the magic machine class - he knew very well that his class would be difficult to convince the public until such a controversy stopped.
He stayed in the Wushuang Fang. Refuse a single visitor, and concentrate on tinkering with his "secret weapon".
However, on the evening of December 25, a visitor arrived. But it was something he had to see.
......
The gate of the Musou Fang was less than five hundred meters away from the main entrance of the Academy of Magic.
When it was first built, Chen Daolin built the gate in the same way as the factories in the real world that he was most familiar with.
In the huge iron fence gate, the workshops are neatly arranged on both sides like a lattice.
At night, some workshops are still brightly lit.
There is no need to set up a doorman at the entrance of Wushuang Fang. It's close to the Academy of Magic. Where would any thief dare to patronize such a place?
What's more, those magic students who are full of whimsical ideas. There are many strange magic prohibitions and magic traps in the workshop. If outsiders dare to rush in, they will definitely encounter a miserable end that they will never forget.
Even Chen Daolin himself didn't dare to walk around in Wushuang Fang after dark.
At this moment, outside the gate of Wushuang Fang, a carriage was parked. The decoration of the carriage is very low-key, but the discerning person can see that the materials of this carriage are very particular.
In the distance, several guards and coachmen stood far away. Only a slender figure remained beside the carriage.
Fiona wore a long leather robe with a snow-white leather collar and white fluff that made her little face more and more red. Those seductive eyes, in the night, seem to have a bit of a vague taste.
The thick leather robe can't completely hide the beautiful body curves of this gorgeous mature woman, especially the ups and downs of the waist and hips, from the back, it is enough to make a man's blood boil.
When Chen Daolin walked out of the Wushuang Fang, he saw Fiona who was pretty next to the carriage from a distance.
With Chen Daolin's concentration, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Darling, who comes from the real world, is not unseen in the world without seeing beautiful women. At least the countless love in the island country has been baptized by films, and Chen Daolin is not the kind of pig brother who will straighten his eyes when he sees beauty.
But even so, looking at Fiona, who was pretty in the wind, Chen Daolin was still stunned for a while.
(The best.) οΌ
Brother Darling secretly admired in his heart, but his face made a breezy look and walked over slowly.
Fiona saw that Chen Daolin finally appeared, and the woman was also secretly relieved, and her face soon overflowed with the most attractive smile.
She slowly greeted the past, and when she walked, she deliberately let her pace be very slow, and her waist swayed naturally and slowly, which had a unique charm.
However, to Fiona's disappointment, although she noticed Chen Daolin's eyes sweeping between her waist and hips, her eyes quickly moved away, and she was not as intoxicated and admired by the men in the imperial capital as she was used to. "Professor Darling. I'm really sorry to bother you so late. β
A slightly hoarse voice, with a thick nasal voice, sounds particularly lazy and seductive. Fiona stood in front of Chen Daolin, as if she naturally raised her hand and brushed her hair.
Chen Daolin also stopped, squinting his eyes at the woman in front of him, especially after carefully observing the other party's eyes, he pursed his lips and smiled: "I thought who came to see me...... I can't think of you. β
After a pause, Chen Daolin shook his head and said, "I just can't think of Miss Fiona." I was surprised to take out the badge of Director Pete. β
"I heard that Professor Darling closed his door and didn't see anyone, and I was afraid that I might not be able to please you with this little face, so I had to take out the token of Chief Pitt. Fiona smiled lightly: "This is my rudeness...... But. I don't think a character like Professor Darling would be embarrassed by this as a weak woman. β
Chen Daolin smiled.
This woman is getting more and more interesting. knows how to properly show his charm and style, but it is just right and not excessive, and he knows how to use his female identity to retreat into advance, and his wrist is very clever.
"Miss Fiona is gracious. Chen Daolin opened his eyes and said nonsense: "If I had known that you were looking for me." I don't need to take out the token of Mr. Pete, I would have come out to see you a long time ago. β
When Fiona heard this, the smile on her face became sweeter and sweeter, but secretly she gritted her teeth: I had known that I had come to see me for three days in a row. You don't even show your face!
"Okay. Chen Daolin deliberately looked at the starry sky in the sky, sighed slightly, and said, "You should know that I have been very busy recently. Especially in a few days, it will be ...... Well. So I have a lot of time. Miss Fiona also understands people, so let's not go around in circles. You are in such a hurry to see me, what do you have to advise?"
As he spoke, Chen Daolin took a deep breath: "My workshop is still busy, and from now on, I only have about half an hour to rest." β
Fiona's face changed, and she couldn't help but feel a hint of anger in her heart.
He can be regarded as the head of the imperial capital of the Tulip family, and even those wealthy and powerful people will be polite when they see him on weekdays. It's just this Darling Chen...... I took the initiative to come to the door to ask to see a few times, but I avoided it, and it was so easy to see it today, but I only gave myself half an hour?
In fact, Chen Daolin didn't do it on purpose. However, he already had a preconceived idea in his heart, and he only thought that this Fiona was coming to him for the decisive battle of Anthony, which was probably not a good thing. Besides, he and she have secretly confronted each other twice, and everyone's position is clearly opposite.
Since it's the right one, you don't have to be too wronged by yourself, and the politeness on the surface has been done by yourself, so it's good not to be rude.
As for the rest...... You really don't have to give the other side too much.
Fiona hesitated for a moment, but finally made up her mind to get straight to the point.
"Mr. Darling, I'm here today for the decisive battle in a few days. β
Chen Daolin nodded, didn't speak, just looked at Fiona quietly, waiting for what the woman said.
"I don't know, how sure is Mr. Darling about this duel?"
Chen Daolin finally smiled, he looked at Fiona, and said slowly: "What answer does Miss Fiona want from me? Do you want me to be confident in winning, or do you want me to feel uneasy?"
Fiona was stunned for a moment, and then said an answer that surprised Chen Daolin.
"I personally pressed 10,000 gold coins, bet on you to win!"
β...... Yay?"
......
Chen Daolin's face finally showed a look of surprise, he looked Fiona up and down, and then finally couldn't help but whisper: "That...... Let me ask. Miss Fiona, are you trying to play a fake match with me in order to make a fortune, or are you going to turn your back on the Tulip family and earn yourself some severance pay when you leave?"
Fiona looked at Chen Daolin's sneaky expression, heard his words clearly, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, she laughed so much, especially when her chest rose and fell, the round lines shook gently, so that Chen Daolin couldn't help but move his eyes.
"Mr. Darling, you may have misunderstood. Fiona covered her mouth and smiled: "My loyalty to the family has never changed, and naturally I will not make ...... Do the kind of thing you say. β
"Then I'm puzzled. Chen Daolin spread his hands: "That Anthony, it should be a living signboard that you have come up with, is it possible that you are looking forward to me, an outsider, and dismantling the first sign you held out with one hand?"
"What if...... I said yes?" Fiona looked at Chen Daolin intently.
Chen Daolin frowned: "I'm not crazy. Neither do you. So...... You can at least give me a reason. β
Fiona slowly pulled out a note from her sleeve and unfolded it in front of Chen Daolin, allowing him to read the contents of the note.
This piece of paper is clearly specially made, fine kraft paper, with imprints and signatures on it, which is extremely difficult to forge.
"This is the bet slip of one of the largest gambling houses in the eastern part of the imperial capital. Fiona said lightly: "I bet 10,000 gold coins, in black and white, and you won." β
Seeing Chen Daolin's frowning appearance, Fiona continued: "I still want to sue you." These are not my family's public funds, but my personal private money...... Although I am the head of the imperial capital of the Tulip Workshop and help my family manage a huge estate, I am not as rich as others think. This 10,000 gold coins is also a savings for many years for me. If I lose, I'm afraid that I will have to cut down on food and clothing for a long, long time in the future. This sincerity is enough, right?"
β...... Sincerity is not small. Chen Daolin sighed: "But I still don't understand...... Why?"
Fiona said slowly: "Mr. Darling, that Anthony guy, you have also seen it, I don't know what you think of him?"
"Idiot. Chen Daolin replied without thinking.
"Yes, he's an idiot. Fiona sighed softly. With a wry smile: "So I also regret and blame myself, why did I choose such a fool in the first place." Originally, I thought that this kind of person was stupid, maybe it was easier to control. But I didn't expect that once this kind of stupid person got carried away and became self-righteous, it would bring even greater losses and troubles......"
Chen Daolin's eyes lit up: "I understand...... What do you mean. This signboard, disobedient?"
"If only you understood. Fiona deliberately sighed faintly: "I picked up this signboard with one hand, and the family has invested a lot of financial, material and manpower resources, but now the signboard is disobedient." It's going to run. Speaking of which, I have to bear this responsibility. Of course...... I could have done away with him!"
Speaking of which. A hint of fierceness flashed in this woman's eyes - this woman who could manage the Tulip Workshop's huge industry in the imperial capital for many years was by no means as weak as she seemed on the surface, if she didn't have a bit of a strong wrist, in a place like the imperial capital, she would have been swallowed up by someone and there would be no scum left.
β...... But after all, he was selected by me and held out with the other. Fiona continued: "If I depose him myself, I will be even more discredited in the family. As you know, the tulip workshop has a big business, and I am a woman who occupies an important position, and there are always people who are not convinced. β
"That's understandable. Chen Daolin nodded.
"So, since it's not good for me to just kill him...... Otherwise, it would be a slap in the face. But it's good to meet this idiot you want to teach a lesson. β
Chen Daolin finally understood what the other party meant.
Although he still felt that what the woman said was really far-fetched, he couldn't find any basis for suspicion for a while.
What's more...... It doesn't seem to have much of an impact on me, but I'm going to win anyway.
So Chen Daolin thought about it, shook his head and said, "Even so, you don't actually need to come to see me tonight." Whether you listen to this sign of yours or not, I will definitely fight for it anyway. β
Fiona smiled: "Mr. Darling is a smart person, since you and I have the same goal, then, everyone has common interests, there is naturally a lot of room for cooperation." β
"Cooperation?" Chen Daolin smiled and said with a smile: "Are you going to do something in this duel?"
Speaking of this, Chen Daolin's face suddenly changed, his expression sank, and his brows furrowed: "If that's the case, I understand it in my heart, this duel, I hope it is upright, if there is any falsehood......
"Mr. Darling is reassured. Fiona laughed a few times and said slowly: "I can be regarded as being in charge of the Tulip Workshop Imperial Capital Industry for many years, and I still have some eyes. I've already inquired, before you duel, you cooperated with the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce in this Wushuang Workshop, and recruited the first master of the empire to your banner. Although the secrecy in your peerless workshop is very tight, there is no impermeable wall in the world. What's more, this is the imperial capital. β
Chen Daolin's expression moved.
The woman had already continued to laugh, "I can guess the idea that you are going to use this duel to launch that 'Sword of the Force'. Since you want to build momentum, you naturally hope that this competition is as lively as possible, only by being upright can you create momentum, if there is any scandal, I am afraid that it will ruin your big thing. I, Fiona, am not stupid, so I naturally don't dare to do anything that will anger you. β
Chen Daolin frowned at this time.
With the identity and status of this woman. With the power in her hands, the Tulip family's workshop manager in the imperial capital! Openly and secretly, God knows how much power she has!
If she wanted to deal with that Anthony secretly, deal with such a clown who jumped off the beam, such a straw bale celebrity, it would be too easy.
Don't say anything else. It's easy to do something in his diet and just scrap him.
But in this way, my own competition plan will be in vain!
What Chen Daolin needs is an Anthony who is in perfect condition, and what he needs is a strong man who can show excellent form in the competition. Then he was gorgeously defeated by his own Anthony!
"I came tonight, on the one hand, to confess my heart to you, and I, Fiona, have no intention of being your enemy. Fiona smiled slowly: "Second, it is the last time I was in the shop." and some of your misunderstandings, I would like to express my apologies to you personally. The last time I was in the shop, it was me who was not strict, that Charlotte. I have punished him severely...... I can guarantee that this guy has been duly punished and paid enough for his recklessness. β
Chen Daolin nodded. Looking at Fiona: "And a third, right?"
"You're a sensible person. Fiona smiled again, and then slowly pulled out a thin booklet from her sleeve and handed it to Chen Daolin's hand.
"In order to cultivate Anthony, I didn't put a lot of effort into it, and I didn't put a lot of effort into it. Fiona said lightly: "Although this guy is a little stupid, but his talent in martial arts is really good! Before participating in the martial arts competition, I used the strength of my family and invited several powerful martial artists in the family to conduct strict training for him, and according to his actual situation and the advantages and disadvantages of his strength, I created a complete cultivation plan for him, and finally made him the most popular martial arts champion of all time." β
After a pause, the woman's face was indifferent, and she said slowly: "Although Anthony has practiced martial arts since he was a child, he has not received the kind of complete and systematic martial arts training after all. When it comes to actual combat experience, he is really rich, and he has an outstanding talent for martial arts, and often knows how to absorb a lot of useful experience for himself in actual combat experience, so his strength is getting stronger and stronger. However, according to our strict training for him, all the advantages and disadvantages of his martial arts are naturally clearly in our hands.
For example, he is good at actual combat, and often does not follow the routine in actual combat, and the most important thing is that he dares to take risks in his temperament. In addition, although he has always used sword skills in competitions, in fact, he is very strong himself, and is more suitable for heavier weapons, and his best weapon is actually a short-handled axe gun. The strength of his left and right arms is very average, there are almost no obvious weaknesses, and his fighting spirit is also very good. Our family's martial artist commented on him, believing that Anthony's martial arts had reached the peak level of the middle level, and if he took one step further, he could step into the ranks of the seventh-level warriors and enter the realm of high-level martial artists.
At his age, such strength and talent are already quite amazing. It's also a pity that such a good seedling, if he wasn't so stupid, such a signboard, if cultivated well, could be used by the family for at least ten years. β
As she spoke, Fiona handed the booklet in her hand to Chen Daolin, her eyes flashing, staring at Chen Daolin's eyes tightly.
Chen Daolin looked at her twice, then suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand to take it, and put it into his arms.
"Mr. Darling is really not mortal. Fiona smiled and said, "If I change someone else, I'm afraid that I will still behave at this moment and refuse to accept it." β
"Why don't you accept it?" Chen Daolin shook his head: "I didn't let you poison him, second, I didn't let you kidnap his family and threaten him, and third, I didn't let you break his hands and feet before the game." As for this booklet, it is nothing more than some information. Collecting information about the opponent before the war was originally the right thing to do, so why don't I want the convenience you have provided me? What's more, I, a magician, can't use magic, but I have to use martial arts to challenge a mid-level peak martial artist, if I can't get some cheap in the newspaper, wouldn't it be too much of a loss?"
When Fiona heard this, she quickly lowered her head, and her tone was slightly apologetic: "I'm really sorry for this matter, I ...... If it weren't for me...... It won't force you to commit to using magic. β
"Now that it's over, there's no need to mention it. And thank you for letting me do this...... This will cause a bigger sensation. Chen Daolin waved his hand.
"But...... I'm still curious. You are a magical genius in the Imperial Capital, but you ...... If you don't use magic, just use martial arts to deal with Anthony, ...... the hell"
Chen Daolin shook his head: "This is my own business, and I will naturally see it when that day comesβI will never joke with my reputation and life." β
Fiona breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Chen Daolin, and said in a very sincere tone: "Since that's the case, I won't ask more...... Mr. Darling, I apologize to you tonight for all the things I have done in the past, and for all the offends. In the future, if you don't dislike you in the imperial capital, I would like to be friends with a character like you, but I'm worried that I won't be able to climb high......"
Chen Daolin was very calm: "Since it has passed, naturally there is no need to mention it." Miss Fiona, where would I refuse? β
After a pause, he said solemnly: "I feel very grateful to you for visiting late at night tonight and sending me such a piece of information...... Needless to say, let's see people's hearts in the future. β
Speaking of this, Chen Daolin's heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but scratch his head: "I suddenly remembered something, Miss Fiona, I don't know if you can do me a little favor?"
When Fiona heard this, her heart was overjoyed. She came to visit tonight, and put on a low profile, just to be able to get along with Chen Daolin, at this moment, I heard that Chen Daolin had something to ask for herself, so she was naturally in the middle of the favor, and at this moment she could help Chen Daolin do something, so that the other party could owe her some favors, of course, it was the best.
"Mr. Darling, please speak, as long as it is within my ability!"
Chen Daolin laughed: "This matter, it's not too difficult to say, it's just to waste some hands and feet." I just thought of it on the fly......"
As he spoke, Chen Daolin whispered something in Fiona's ear, which made the woman's expression suddenly strange.
"Uh......? Is that your request?"
"Yes, that's it. Chen Daolin nodded: "I originally wanted to ask the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce to come forward to do these things. But after all, the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce is my partner, and Wushuang Fang has their share. The academy also knows. And this competition, I naturally don't deal with some people in the academy. For the sake of fairness and not to be tongue-in-cheek, it is not good for the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce to come forward. You are the chief steward of the imperial capital of the Tulip Workshop, and the Tulip Family has a close relationship with the Academy of Magic, so if you come forward to help me do these things, I can also make those old stubborns in the Academy unable to say anything against them. β
Fiona's eyes narrowed with a smile, her voice was delicate, and she said slowly, "Mr. Darling trusts me so much, this thing is ...... I'll go down, and there will never be a fork!" (To be continued)
