Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Five
"Chester, you're not at the right angle, tucked in a little bit, and now it's bulging. "Jia Yi stood on a high platform, looking at the blast furnace being built in front of him, and commanding the people below.
"Kaichi, why are we building this here, isn't ironmaking the work of a blacksmith?" Chester grumbled as he made the changes he had said.
"It is good for you to be more hands-on, and you should observe more and not complain. Jia Yi came to the blast furnace under construction, but there was a feeling of standing and talking without backache in his words.
"But what can you learn like this?" a little girl poked her head out from behind the blast furnace and said to Kaichi, and after saying that, she retracted her head, as if she was a little shy, but judging from her tone of voice to Kaichi, it really didn't look like she couldn't open her mouth.
"You guys, it's still Too young, too simple, come and I'll teach you a lesson." ”
Soon, there were five mages standing in front of Jia Yi, but now they were all a little embarrassed, sweat and dust were mixed together. Although the mage can keep the body clean through magic, he can't maintain his image all the time after working for a long time, and he can only tidy it up after it is finished, so the few mages in front of him will look so embarrassed.
I saw that the female mage who had just spoken used magic vibration as she walked, cleaning off all the sweat and oil on her face, and at the same time, her hair was automatically untied and tied back up.
"March, what are you doing with it? It's going to get dirty again anyway. Chester said.
The five mages in front of Jia Yi were all hired by Jia Yi from the Mage Academy, they are actually the same as Jia Yi, they have not yet enrolled, but they have become official mages, and they will enter the same winter as Jia Yi, they can be regarded as classmates of the same level, if they are not divided into classes, they are classmates.
They are not the same age, the youngest is March, the only girl in it, only 16 years old this year, only a year older than Jia, and it has not been long since she broke through to become a formal magician, and the oldest is Jasper, who is over 30 years old, exceeding the age limit of a mage apprentice under the age of 14 or a full-fledged mage under the age of 20, and now can only be an auditor in the academy, and an auditor costs a lot of money.
These five people, Chester, Jed, Jasper, Madow, and March, although they are said to have been hired by Jiayi, are actually brought over by Lian Meng.
After Jia Yi finished making the waterwheel, he realized that it would be difficult to complete the construction of the entire smelter on time by his own estimates, because the waterwheel was the simplest one, and it took more than half a month, so Jia Yi thought about hiring a team of mages to assist him, even if he spent some more money.
However, Jia Yi still underestimated the mage's urine, even if Jia Yi opened the price very high, so high that his heart began to drip blood, thinking about whether he was a little more tired and solved it himself, no one was willing to take this job. As soon as I heard that I was going to be a construction worker, the mages who were originally interested in it were also reluctant. Moreover, now is the time to study at the academy, and there are few people who are willing to take on tasks.
When Jia Yi was about to despair, Jia Yi's paper was published in "The Witcher", and it was also recommended as a sample essay for junior and intermediate mages, which made Jia Yi suddenly have a great reputation in the academy, after all, it is used as a model, so every student must read this paper. Especially later, after rumors came out that the author of the paper was still a teenager and had not officially entered the academy to study, Jiayi's reputation in the academy became even greater, and many students had a tendency to regard Jiayi as an idol.
After knowing this situation, Kaichi decisively changed the method of recruiting mages, and the original bounty was greatly reduced, leaving less than one-twentieth of the meaning. Then there was a flyer, which read, "Do you want to get close to the 'genius prodigy' Jiayi, do you want to know what a genius looks like, how do you learn? Why can you have so many papers published before you enter the school? Participate in the 'blast furnace' mission, take you to get close to idols, and learn the way of thinking of geniuses." ”
Through such means, I finally found the way of thinking that 5 mages were willing to learn from the "genius" Jiayi at close range, and it was the 5 people in front of them who formed a team. At this time, it was the time for the school year, and the mages who could be hired were either preparing to enter the school, or they were poor auditors, and there was no other choice.
In fact, there is no way of thinking, what Jia Yi does is actually just to carry the original things on the earth, he is just a porter of nature. However, we must not say the same to the outside world, we must be good at observation, find the details of life, and have an unsatisfied mentality, for change, not superstitious authority.
When these 5 people came to Jiayi, Jiayi's first class was to say these things to them, and then the next thing was to rely on their own observation, Jiayi was not prepared to take the initiative to teach, because he didn't know how to teach. Fortunately, when the propaganda was promoted, it was said that it was fanciful, but when the specific task was released, it was clearly stated that there would be no teaching, just to give them a chance to work with Jiayi, let them see how Jiayi usually works, how to think, and all of them have to take the initiative to observe and learn by themselves.
Fortunately, Jiayi's genius reputation is quite good, plus Orlando's endorsement - if it weren't for Orlando, there would be no way to go to the academy to release this task, not everyone used the qualifications to go to the academy to release the task, and a team of people was recruited under such harsh conditions. In fact, there can be more, but it's not good to go too far, and although Jiayi has reduced his salary a lot, it is also a lot of money if there are more people.
New mages are always very high-spirited, especially when they are not very old, and they are especially prone to being bewitched by blood, of course, it is also possible that they have the savings to see if Jia Yi is worthy of his name.
All in all, Jiayi cheated five "cheap" laborers.
When Jia Yi saw that everyone was gathered, he said to them: "When I issued the task, I said that I would not take the initiative to teach, because I am also a student, so what qualifications do I have to teach others, if there is any mistake or omission, it will be a mistake for people's children." Therefore, I hope that you will take the initiative to observe, summarize, and write down what you think is good, learn it, and understand it, so that the experience you have gained will be considered profound and you will not forget it. ”
He paused, slowly scanning from left to right, and the rest of the people who looked at him had a little dodgy eyes, except for March, who did not show weakness and looked at Jiayi. Kaichi ignored March's provocation and continued: "However, you are weaker than I thought, I have told you many times, observe, summarize, observe, summarize, but you have been here for 7 or 8 days, what have you summed up? ”
"Of course, it's because mages are easy to use, otherwise how could there be a mage team dedicated to building mage towers. ”
Jia Yi glared at the muttering March, but he was a little weak in his heart, because what she said was not far from ten, and the mage was just for convenience. Because the blast furnace is different from ordinary buildings, it is difficult for ordinary workers to understand the drawings, and it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of construction, and this blast furnace has to withstand the pressure of high temperature and high pressure. And the mage has a strong learning ability, and his mathematical skills are not weak, even if it is the first time to see a perspective like Jia Yi, as well as various technical parameters, he can quickly learn and understand.
He said, "I told you what this blast furnace is for, and have you ever thought about why it was built like this, and there is such a waterwheel there, and has any of you ever seen its structure? What is it for, and is it for the sake of looking good?" And the drawings I gave you, have you carefully understood what the benefits of this are?
"You guys, I've put these things in front of you, and you're still indifferent, although these seem to have nothing to do with magic, but magic spells aren't all, understand these things thoroughly, and your understanding of magic will be more thorough. ”
After Jia Yi finished speaking, he shook his head and sighed, seeing that the rest of the people were a little embarrassed, but he was relieved in his heart - he was finally confused, and this passage has been drafted several times, just for today's situation.
