Section 136 Confrontation

"I'm really sorry. Ashrufat replied. The whole foundry was not very large, but according to the dwarven engineer (his name was O'Greeve), if it could be fully operational, with sufficient supply of raw materials, and three shifts of personnel, it would be possible to make five hundred weapons, three hundred armor pairs, a cannon, and a large number of muskets per day.

Of course, the concept of dwarves is not necessarily reliable. Because dwarves, even ordinary dwarves, possess arm strength, endurance, craftsmanship, and judgment beyond that of humans. In other words, if it's all left to the Dwarven Craftsman, this will produce such a result.

"To tell you the truth, I really don't know what Master Miklesco would sell you this kind of. O'Greve muttered a little disgruntled.

"Probably because you need actual combat as a result. Ashrufat replied. "I've heard that the invention of a dwarven engineer is not considered an achievement if it is not verified in actual combat. And this kind of thing, if it is proved to be ineffective in actual combat, will have very serious consequences. Therefore, although it was invented, it was difficult to find an opportunity to put it into experimentation. ”

"You have a point. O'Greif replied with some gloom.

"When will work begin?" asked Ashrufat.

"As long as fuel is provided, you can start at any time. O'Greif replied.

"I have an additional request, can you make that dwarven ...... for me Muskets?" Ashrufat asked. It's no secret that the dwarves are talking about the new muskets. The effective range of this new musket is twice as long as that of a normal musket. This meant that the Musketeer's combat power could be greatly improved, among other things, it was equivalent to the Musketeer having two shots when encountering a cavalry charge, and five rounds of fire when charging against the infantry.

"No, I can't. O'Greif bluntly refused. "This is the invention of the great foundry Aerufat, and this musket-making technique cannot be passed on unless it is approved by the higher echelons of the Society of Engineers. But it seems that now humans are also starting to imitate it. ”

"Our imitation skills are not up to par. As for licensing, I've got high-level permission. Ashrufat replied as he pulled out a letter from his body. "Here is a letter from the Grand Foundry Miklesco. He said that if you read the letter, you know what to do. ”

With that, he handed the object to Oglife. The latter immediately opened the letter, which was indeed written by the Grand Foundry Miklesco, with his personal signature underneath.

"Oh my God. O'Greve let out an exclamation. "He actually ...... ......"

"What's wrong?" asked the other dwarf next to him, O'Greif's deputy.

"Grand Foundry Miklesko has agreed that we will use this 'all-rounder field repair station' to make any kind of weapons and armor, including cannons. O'Greif was still reading the letter a second time. "And more than that, he let us stay here...... He wants us to stay here for a long time. He wanted to establish a branch of the Association of Engineers here. ”

"How is that possible?!This is the land of mankind!Shall we establish a branch here?"

"This is the decision of the top management of the Association of Engineers...... As members of the association, we cannot disobey the orders of the masters. O'Greif replied in a deep voice. "The masters must have thought about this matter!"

"I don't know how you did it!" Ogliv thrust the letter back into Ashrufat's hand.

"Probably because of my name, my name is also Ashrufat. Same name as one of your association's great foundries. ”

O'Greve didn't answer, but let out a few cold snorts in a huff, and finally held back a sentence: "Let's be clear first, if you can't pay one day...... I'll turn around and leave!"

"Absolutely. Can I ask, though...... The great foundry called Ashrufat...... Is he in the association now?"

"No. O'Greve said. He went back to his people. ”

"The great foundry seems to have a great reputation. ”

"Human, you should be honored to have the same name as our Great Foundry. O'Greif replied. "Master Ashrufat is the outstanding talent of our association, he is a true and well-deserved master. Although his beard is not long, even the High King is deeply appreciated for his achievements. His inventions had a profound impact on our association, and he was a role model for each of us, for every member of the Society of Engineers. He was not only good at design and invention, but also a great warrior. He once defeated twenty orc bosses one-on-one, and led 3,000 soldiers to eliminate 500,000 greenskins. I dare say that there is absolutely no hero of this caliber among you humans. ”

Ashruphat smiled and shrugged noncommittally.

"Don't doubt my word ......"

"I have no doubts. Ashrufat replied. "May I have the privilege of knowing where the clan of Master Ashrufat is?"

"He's a member of the Lava Clan," O'Greve replied. "That tribe is far to the north. Well, if it weren't for Master Ashrufat...... Maybe they're all going to be forgotten. ”

"Why doesn't he work in the Society of Engineers?"

"Of course, because he wants to gather his strength to avenge his brother...... I said, why do you care so much about being a human being?"

Is that so...... A haze passed through Ashrufat's heart. That brilliant young hero, the great forger named Ashrufat, must have died. Maybe he died somewhere no one knew on the way back to his tribe, or maybe he died after returning to the lava tribe. However, because of the distance, the dwarves don't know about it.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Ashrufat to possess the memories of the dwarves.

In the next moment, Ashruphat pushed these distracting thoughts out of his mind. In any case, now he has solved a very important matter, removing one of the most difficult hidden dangers for future wars.

"By the way, if we stay, we have to pay an extra salary. O'Greve said suddenly. "And it must be prepaid!"

"No problem......" As soon as Ashrufath said it, he immediately remembered that he had resigned as Chancellor of the Exchequer. It seems that his movements are indeed a little too fast. “...... Give me a moment and let me report back to the Queen. ”

......

Shirley walked into the room.

It was an ordinary-looking room, at least very different from what Shirley had imagined. It's not so much a dormitory as an ordinary apartment room. However, this is indeed the Queen's bedchamber, probably because Shirley is a woman, so I met her here.

There was a table in the middle of the living room, and two women sat on the edge of the table, looking at her. One was a young woman who looked to be in her twenties, dressed as a court maid, and the other was a little girl who looked no more than thirteen years old. This little girl is obviously the queen of Gruny, Luvia 61 Angel 61 Macremiz, and the young woman does not know who Lu Dao is. However, since she is qualified to sit here, it should be someone close to the Queen.

"Your Majesty. Shirley saluted the little queen. Don't look at Shirley, she doesn't have the status of a nobleman, but she knows all kinds of etiquette. In addition, Aunt Mary gave her a special training, so she did this salute very well.

According to the rules, the little queen should give her a return salute, at least a slight bow. But in fact, the little queen seemed to be staring at her, motionless.

"Her boobs are younger than mine!" the little queen said suddenly, for no reason.

Shirley's face turned red, even if she was mentally prepared, she never expected the little queen to say such a thing. For a moment, she was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do.

"That's too much. The strange woman replied. "You shouldn't care about this. ”

"Your name is Shirley, isn't it?" asked the little queen. "This is Rhodia. Her hand pointed at the strange woman. "My new governess. ”

"Hello, Lady Rhodia. Shirley could only say hello to Rhodia.

"No, I'm not Madame. Rhodia replied with a smile. "Well, it should be said that I am not a nobleman, just a commoner like you. I'm here for the same reason you are. ”

Rhodia stood up and looked at Shirley with a smile. "Because of Ashrufat's recommendation. ”

"Alright, let's get down to business. Rhodia came to Shirley. Shirley didn't know if it was a disguise or a real thing, and she looked a little nervous on the surface. "Ashrufat has recommended you to be Chancellor of the Exchequer, albeit as acting Chancellor of the Exchequer...... May I ask, what did you do before?"

"I am the president of the 'Xianghai' Chamber of Commerce. Shirley replied. "Managing the Chamber of Commerce. I'm a businessman, at least that's what I think. ”

"The new tobacco merchants?" Rothea said intently. "Ah, since you're going to be president...... This illustrates...... That Chamber of Commerce is Ashrufat's?"

"He gave out the money. Shirley replied evasively. It must be said that Ashrufat did not deceive her in this regard, whether it was personnel or the internal operation of the Chamber of Commerce, Ashrufat did not interfere at all, and it was all up to Shirley. Therefore, although it is theoretically said that Ashruphat is the owner, in fact, the Xianghai Chamber of Commerce is under the control of Shirley.

"Ah...... No wonder. The first time I saw him, I thought he was a rich man. Rhodia said with a grin. This was proven later. Don't talk about this. Shirley, what do you think of Ashrufat thinking you can take on this position?"
