9. Senior Dylan's new ship
The next time I met Senior Dylan was on a cold Friday afternoon.
It was a very windy day, and the wind chimes on the eaves of the nine-story mage tower of the Astrologer Guild were clanged by the wind, and the gray clouds in the sky made the sunlight a little dim.
An ornate magical caravan drove me to the gates of the astrologers' union, and I stepped out of the magic caravan and looked up at the magical structure that was taller than the Tower of Arrogance, a magnificent Gothic-style structure that looked like a sword reaching straight into the clouds, with straight stripes running through the tower.
I followed the attendant step by step up the stone steps made of bluestone slabs and into the richest of all the magical guilds, the astrologers' guild.
The Astrologer Guild holds the management of the teleportation halls in the major cities of the Grimm Empire, and the expensive teleportation fees in the teleportation halls are unaffordable even for the nobles.
The teleportation hall built in the bustling Fifth Block is filled in and out every day and night.
And that teleportation hall is calculated according to the number of heads, if it is a small group to come out of the teleportation hall, the magic crystal that needs to be spent will definitely make people feel that the price of goods here in the imperial capital seems to be a little unreal.
I remember last autumn at the fishskin hood magic pattern construction exhibition, the wealthy astrologer union offered a sky-high price of 1,800 magic crystals for each fishskin hood, and successfully bid for 30 fishskin hoods, which were the last batch of these fishskin hoods to be made.
Since then, I haven't made another fishskin hood.
The inscriptionists in the imperial capital tried their best to get out of my hands the drawing method of the 'Life Magic Pattern' on the fishskin hood, and I drew thirty fishskin hoods in one go at that magic pattern construction demonstration, so that those inscriptionists mistakenly thought that the 'Life Magic Pattern' on the fishskin hood was as simple as a layer of window paper, and only needed to be gently pierced to peek into the whole picture inside.
In fact, since that magic pattern demonstration, the inscriptionists in the imperial capital have almost bought out of fish skins, but there are very few inscriptionists who can successfully make fish skin hoods, and every inscription master who makes fish skin hoods has spent a huge price, but those who can't make fish skin hoods are even more lost.
The magicians of the Astrologers' Guild proved that they had spent 1,800 magic crystals on a fishskin hood, a seemingly insane move that actually happened to be on the edge of the cost of making a fishskin hood, and all the inscriptionists were silent about it.
Then the turmoil seemed to have calmed down, but my rune board workshop was resisted by the inscriptionists in the imperial capital.
During the period when the Mithril rune board was in short supply and even out of stock, even if these inscription masters in the imperial capital got the base plate of the magic rune plate from Nick, and then successfully produced the 'miniature tornado' rune plate, these rune plates would then flow directly into the market, and there was no possibility of repurchase on the rune board workshop side.
It was in this situation that a large number of workshops specializing in the production of exhaust fans emerged in the imperial capital to compete with Nick's Rune Board Workshop for this magic market, and the exhaust fans produced by the Rune Board Workshop did not occupy any competitive advantage in the magic market due to their old and monotonous style.
During this time, the Rune Plate Workshop only relied on orders for those Adamantite Demon Rune Board substrates to maintain normal operation.
Subsequently, with the help of the Royal Constructed Knights, the South Wind Legion, the North Wind Legion, and the Strange Rock Province Constructed Knights, the Mo family finally successfully sealed the Abyss Hell Connection Passage located in the Wara Valley on the Kenda plane, and then the Mo family announced that the legions stationed in the Kenda plane would obey the call of His Majesty Charles at any time and participate in the plane wars of other planes.
After this battle, the captain of the Ax Legion directly entered the Angela Sect owned by the Babington family, and the Royal Constructed Knights also entered Angelado under the leadership of His Royal Highness Charles, so far, the five major Mithril mines on the Angela Landscape have resumed normal production one after another, and these five Mithril mines occupy more than six layers of Mithril production in the Green Empire, and a large number of Mithril ingots have poured into the Green Empire again.
The Mithril Rune Plate Workshop in San Carlos City was back in operation, and a large number of blank Mithril Rune Plates, which were slightly cheaper than the Adamantite Magic Rune Plates, poured into the Imperial Capital, becoming the last straw that crushed my Rune Board Workshop.
After the influx of Mithril rune plates into the magic market, the inscriptionists in the imperial capital would rather lose a part of their deposit than return the order for the Adamantite Magic Rune Plate.
After receiving no orders for a month, Nick chose to lead his rune board craftsmen en masse to another rune board workshop, which, as far as I know, is likely owned by Ivan and Diego, or both.
Later, the first magic engraving machine was successfully born in the blacksmith shop of the Willow Valley......
It can be said that I was able to survive the boycott of the inscriptionists in the imperial capital and the strong pressure of the magic union, the astrologer union gave me considerable help, of course, there is the favor of senior Dylan, and it may also be that the value of the fishskin hood itself is like that, but I can still feel the kindness of the astrologer union to me.
So Senior Dylan sent someone to find me at the academy and wrote a letter saying that he wanted to see me, and I followed his attendants to the astrologers' guild without saying a word.
Senior Dylan's magic lab was on the fifth floor of the astrologer's union, and the waiter pushed open the gold-carved door of a laboratory, and I saw Senior Dylan working inside, the magic lab was full of magical parchment drawings, and there were several female magician assistants around him helping Senior Dylan tidy up the messy room.
The waiter stood in the doorway and motioned for me to enter, but he stood outside the door, afraid to step into the lab.
Senior Dylan noticed me standing at the door of the magic laboratory, and hurriedly beckoned me in, he was thinner than the last time we met, fortunately, he was still very energetic, but his eyes were bloodshot, he looked a little emaciated, his hair was messy, and he was wearing a pair of tortoiseshell glasses on the bridge of his nose, which looked a little loose.
There was barely a place to stay in the magic lab, so I bent down to pick up a drawing of a magic circle and walked into the magic lab.
Senior Dylan was very happy to see me coming, and led me to the rest area in the corner of the magic lab.
In the corner of this seemingly wide magic laboratory, a small bed was simply laid out, the cashmere quilt on it had not yet been folded, and it was stacked messily, and two magic robes and a few white silk shirts were hung on the floor-to-ceiling clothes on the side, which looked like a temporary resting place for Senior Dylan.
I sat on the sofa next to Dylan and I, a female magical student assistant came over with a tray with teapots and cups, and placed two teacups on the coffee table in front of me and Dylan.
Don't look at Senior Dylan's sloppy appearance, but looking at the spacious magic laboratory room and sexy female magic assistant, it can be said that Senior Dylan's life here is quite luxurious.
"It's a bit messy, don't mind too much!" Senior Dylan stretched out his hand and rubbed his face vigorously to make himself feel more energetic, and said to me with a smile: "I've been so busy this time, and all the maids who cleaned up the housekeeping have been scolded by me, and no one has replaced me for a while, no one has helped me clean up, you know I'm not good at tidying up." ”
I smiled at Senior Dylan and said, "When we worked together in that cabin on the Slave Trader, it wasn't ten times dirtier than here, didn't we just survive!"
"Haha, now that I occasionally think about those days, I really lived a fulfilling life!" Senior Dylan laughed heartily, his voice a little dry and hoarse.
Senior Dylan put his hands in his messy hair, and said to me with emotion: "I remember that at that time, I was repeatedly arguing every day whether those magic patterns were feasible or not, and then you casually drew the magic pattern circles according to my illustrations and annotations by my side, and we directly took the physical arguments and comparisons, hey! ”
I put the magic parchment paper drawing I picked up from the door on the table, and I felt a sigh in my heart when I saw the magic drawing of the familiar magic pattern circle.
Dylan returned from the Vasqi plane and has been working on the research of movable magic teleportation arrays, and it is a paper published by Dylan in this field of magic that has made him the hottest young magician in the Grimm capital.
This magic pattern circle is still a research and improvement of the movable magic teleportation array, and to me, these drawings still come to my mind as if they were memories of yesterday.
"At that time, all the potential was dug out in a desperate situation, and Noah and I tried our best to return to the imperial capital, if we didn't go back, Noah and I would be directly removed from the Royal Academy of Magic, and there was really no way!" I said with a smile to Senior Dylan. "Fortunately, Noah and I met the senior at that time, and we are afraid that we are still wandering on the sea of the Vasqi plane!"
Senior Dylan waved his hand and said, " At that time, I was the same as you, I was also trapped in Vasqi, who would have thought that I would encounter a rebellion within the Mensa family, but speaking of which, this time the Duke of Mensa not only did not lose anything in the rebellion, but was a blessing in disguise, not only did Vasqi's plane war situation gradually become clearer, but also completely suppressed the different voices within the family, and the internal contradictions within the family were temporarily and perfectly resolved, and they also harvested the Queen of Vengeance and a mobile island city built on the back of the mountain dragon turtle, which was really profitable. ”
Then, Senior Dylan said with a wry smile: "Everyone thinks that I have returned from the Vasqi plane, which can be regarded as fame and fortune, but I don't know that the real beneficiary is the controller of the Vasqi plane!"
What Senior Dylan said made me a little hot.
Speaking of which, I have also gained a lot on the Vasqi plane, and my greatest wish is the 'soul horn' that was lost in the hands of the Pirate King, and I finally got it in my hand, which is the main purpose of my trip to the Vasqi plane.
In addition, he obtained some of the treasure of the Pirate King, and the 'Directional Magic Teleportation Scroll' designed by Senior Dylan based on the magic theory of the movable magic teleportation array, although the effective teleportation distance is only two kilometers, it is a necessary life-saving item for expeditions.
Senior Dylan said straight to the point: "I invite you here this time because I want you to help me complete a batch of magic rune boards on the movable magic teleportation array." ”
Of course, he knew that I was studying at the Royal Academy of Magic and had little time on weekdays, but when he started asking me to help, he was obviously in trouble.
I didn't think much of it, I just agreed, and said, "Okay." Senior, when are you going to get these magic rune boards?"
Seeing that I didn't ask anything, Senior Dylan agreed, and said with a sigh of relief: "Of course, the sooner the better!"
Then he said: "There is no way, the guild has helped me find the best inscription masters in the imperial capital as much as possible, these inscription masters are very famous and temperamental, but their skills are very ordinary, my magic rune board drawings have been as detailed as possible, and some unnecessary magic pattern arrays have been simplified, but the effect of the magic rune plates they made is still not ideal." ”
I can imagine this, after all, Senior Dylan's movable magic teleportation array is a kind of combined magic rune board, in terms of combined magic rune board, I have to say that the Yerkes scholar is at the forefront, when he and I were in the war magic academy in El City, we made a combined magic pattern construction shoulder armor for Theresa's rocky golem pet.
In fact, this kind of magic pattern circle made of magic metal plates is still a little particular about the production, especially in the processing of the connection line between the rune board and the rune board, and the slightest carelessness will make a rune plate go to waste.
I was a little distracted, but I heard Senior Dylan say again: "The first few failures, I thought it was because those magic rune boards were made by several inscription masters, after piecing them together, poor compatibility is inevitable, as long as you find a few key points, and then replace the magic rune boards, but it turns out that my idea is very stupid, we have replaced almost all the magic rune boards three times, and we still haven't been able to complete a complete mobile magic array." ”
This was the third time he sighed: "Hey, I decided to let these ten inscription masters directly take charge of the ten sea ships alone, so that I can ensure that the magic rune plates on each sea ship can be made by the same inscription master, so that these magic rune plates are more magically compatible, and at the same time build ten five-masted galleons with movable magic pattern arrays, as long as one of them can succeed, I will be considered a success." ”
He looked a little annoyed and said: "But now it's a mess, those prestigious inscriptionists in the imperial capital are questioning me one after another, even the Vengeance Queen in the Mensa family is guessed by them to be picked up from the ruins of ancient ruins, not created by our own hands, they are questioning me!"
I finally know why Senior Dylan is so irritable.
"So, senior, you've been involved in building a sea ship with a mobile teleportation array lately?" I asked Dylan in surprise.
I had expected such a day, but I did not expect it to come so quickly.
At the beginning, we built a movable magic teleportation array on the golden sea ship, relying on the sea and land two-way magic teleportation array in the military harbor of Ignas City, so that the Mensa family has a very strategic war fortress.
Unexpectedly, not long after Senior Dylan's side returned to the imperial capital, the astrologers' union had already begun to build a second sea ship with a movable magic teleportation array.
It is the will of the above. Senior Dylan pointed up at me.
I suddenly thought of the floating imperial city above my head, so my thoughts became clear, and I whispered to Senior Dylan, "Is it His Majesty Charles?"
Senior Dylan nodded and said to me: "Let's go, I'll take you to Weiyang Lake to see how we build a dock, without the permission of the Angel Boulder royal family, who can repair the shipyard in Weiyang Lake!"
Hearing Senior Dylan say this, I suddenly remembered the lake view I saw in the Prince James study on the third floor of the lakeside manor castle, and the huge dock on the other side of the lake......
