Chapter 177: The Airship Project was launched
Standing in front of the door of the Lord's Mansion, Henry sighed softly. The longer you stay in this realm, the stronger your desire for power becomes. The word legendary mage is like a spell, constantly ringing in my head. He stretched out a hand and shook it vigorously, and then said to himself, "The strength of the legendary mage, I will have it sooner or later." But patience is needed now, and everything will have to wait a few years now, when the heirs of the God of Murder begin to compete for the throne. ”
After taking a few deep breaths to adjust his mind, Henry walked towards the gate of the Lord's Mansion. When the guard saw this, he immediately saluted and immediately pushed the gate open for him. The housekeeper looked at the man who walked in from the door in surprise, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand and walked over and bowed meticulously.
"Welcome home, Count. Madame is working on the accounts in the study upstairs, and your mother has gone to the new theater in the city, where the poet's apprentices from the academy are performing. Miss Dai Lina moved into the Mage Tower some time ago, and she seems to have awakened some special ability, and is learning how to control it from Miss Amy. In addition, the teachers in the academy also made some requests to add some teaching equipment. ”
"These things will be dealt with slowly until tomorrow. Get me something to eat first, the food along the way is just terrible. So saying, Henry took off his cloak and handed it to the butler, and then went to the table and made his own chair.
"Wait a minute, I'll go and get the kitchen to get out of the big meal. And I don't need to inform Madame, she has been waiting for you to come back. So saying, the butler turned and hung the cloak on the hanger.
Henry smiled and shook his head. "Don't tell Sykodi yet, I'm going to surprise her after eating and taking a shower."
The butler owed a debt and rushed into the kitchen, and it didn't take long for the smell of food to come from inside. The maids methodically brought the dishes to the table. Henry ate unhurriedly with a knife and fork in hand. Take a sip of freshly squeezed juice every now and then. The servants of the Lord's Mansion were well aware of his eating habits. So there was neither wine nor too many spices to spice up.
Henry enjoyed a hearty meal, and then went to the bathroom for more than half an hour to take a bath. After washing off the fatigue of the journey, he came to the study alone. Gently pushing the door open, I saw my wife who was immersed in checking the accounts. Henry walked over without saying a word, picked up Scotti and said to her with a smile, "Honey, I'm back." ”
"Oh my God! You're back. I was worried about dying if I knew it, especially in the days when the accident happened, and I didn't close my eyes for several days. Sycody threw her arms around Henry's neck with some excitement. The two soon kissed each other. The young couple, who had been separated for half a year, kept touching each other, their breathing became heavier and heavier, and they began to tear their clothes directly after the last day.
Henry swept the ledger aside from the table and picked his wife up and placed it on it. Poeti suddenly realized what her husband wanted to do, and she tried to stop doing it, but was pressed directly under her by Henry. After a while, they began to delve into the important topic of human reproduction.
The passion of reunion after a long absence is particularly intense. The two of them walked from the desk to the chair, almost every corner of the study, and did not stop breathlessly until more than an hour later. Henry wiped the sweat from his face as he began to tidy up his clothes. Silky lay motionless on the table. The lady's dress on her body had been ripped to shreds.
Henry got dressed, came to his wife, kissed her on the forehead and asked, "Honey, it seems that you are tired." Do you need me to carry you back to the bedroom? ”
Poeti gave him a blank look, then sat up slowly. "It's not all because of you. Look at this new dress, which I bought from a merchant in Ascatra at a great cost, and is said to be Am's most popular style this year. And the way it is now, how do you let me get out of this gate. ”
Suddenly, she saw the ledger scattered on the ground, and there seemed to be many footprints on it. "My accounts! It's over, all the work done today is in vain, and it looks like tomorrow we have to start from scratch. ”
Henry smiled and shook his head, went to the window, tore down the curtains, and draped them over his wife. "Don't worry about the ledger, take a good rest today, and talk about it tomorrow."
"By the way, three months ago, Cagan returned with more than two hundred and fifty dwarves. They all live near the mine now, so you'd better hurry up and arrange it tomorrow. Sycody said as she wrapped herself tightly in the curtains. She didn't want to be seen by the servants as she was, which would be too detrimental to the majesty of her mistress.
"It's great, I have a couple of big projects that are about to start, and I'm worried that there won't be enough skilled craftsmen." After saying that, Henry hugged his wife and kissed him fiercely, and it seemed that the airship plan could be started. It is believed that it will not be long before huge airships are seen rising into the air, and they will become a more high-speed and convenient means of transportation.
After a day of rest at home, Henry couldn't wait to go to the mines to meet Cagan and his people. When the old dwarf saw him, he immediately put down the hammer in his hand and ran quickly on his short legs. "Hey! Little Henry, it's been a long time. I have returned to my hometown with over a hundred adult dwarves, not only excellent craftsmen, but also skilled warriors. Find me a mountain, we can't wait to start digging a hole. ”
Henry smiled at the dwarves wielding hammers, and he pointed to a large mountain not far from the iron mine. "Look how it goes. It's very close to the mines, and I don't think there will be a shortage of ore veins in it, so it should be perfect for you dwarves to live in. ”
"No problem! I'll send someone to start digging the hole tomorrow. When the time comes, if the metal and gemstones are actually produced, we will give you half of it. Cagan stroked his beard and replied, he obviously liked the place as well, and by its size, if the mountain was hollowed out, there could be at least a few thousand dwarves living in it.
"If you like it, it will be your fief in the future. This is a knighthood certificate and a land mandate, and you have to finalize your family crest as soon as possible. As he spoke, Henry pulled out a few pieces of parchment and handed them over. Finally, I plan to recruit a group of craftsmen with the highest skills to participate in the creation of the alloy skeleton. This is the drawing and requires you to take it first, there is only one requirement for the material, that is, it must be light enough. ”
The old dwarf took the certificate and the letter of appointment and stuffed it into the purse around his waist, opened the drawing and looked at it carefully. After a long while, he frowned and said to Henry, "Are you planning to put together a huge steel skeleton, and then wrap it in a special material, and fill it with a special gas to make it fly?" ”
Henry saw Cagan immediately understand his intentions and nodded happily. "That's right, I've already chosen the material for the seal. The gums of many trees in the forest are very viscous, and these things have a very good seal, and they can encapsulate the gas with a little processing. Gases that are lighter than air are already visible, and the biggest problem now is the material of the skeleton, and you dwarves know the metal well, and I believe that you will be able to find a solution. ”
"You'll have to wait a few days, and I'll need to take it back and discuss it with the others. To know that there are too many strange metals in this world, we need a little time to remember. Cagan said as he carefully rolled up the drawings and put them away.
"Then I'll leave the matter to you, I still have to go to the Mage Tower to make some preparations, you must know that there are a lot of things needed to build such a big guy in the Dao." As he spoke, Henry waved his hand at the old dwarf, and then flew directly into the sky using a spell.
In the absence of the master of the Mage Tower, Debra managed the apprentices in a mere manner. There are two quite outstanding apprentices who have entered the final stage of attacking the official mage. It is believed that it will not be long before they can get rid of their apprenticeship status and become a real spellcaster.
As soon as she entered the tower, Cortana's voice rang in her ears. "Welcome back, host. Mage Debra is currently working on a magic prop, and if there's nothing to do, it's best not to bother her. Warlock Amy is teaching Dai Lina how to control her natural spells. Apprentice Lina has conducted a total of four dangerous experiments during this time, and I have forcibly organized her behavior according to your orders. ”
Henry sighed when he heard his sister's self-conscious behavior, and it seemed that his decision was really wise. "If there are other important things to say, I have some important work to complete in a moment."
Taling pondered for a moment and reported everything that had happened in the recent period. The two Treants have taken good care of the Arcane Garden, and the magical plants have been picked many times and are now stored in the warehouse on the first floor. Louis and all the Picoquins worked very hard and have now made more than 50,000 transistors.
When hearing Van . Blake and Jemrini. Rhodes was about to be promoted to a full-fledged mage, and Henry nodded happily. "Inform them that they can go to the warehouse on the first floor at any time and pick six first-level spells for free as a reward. By the way, I also told the other apprentices that as long as they work hard enough, I will not be stingy with rewards. ”
After dealing with these chores, he went straight to the workshop. Get ready to start experimenting with synthetic gums, one of the most important components of an airship. As for the filled gas, it is easy to obtain a large amount of hydrogen by using the principle of electrolysis of water. Although this gas can easily ignite and explode, it is not a big problem in the magical world. When the time comes, attach a few more demonic patterns to the skeleton and airbag to protect against flames, and this problem can be easily solved. (To be continued......)
