"Old Jackson, again, I want ten, to meet the standards for offshore transportation and fishing. I can build as much as I can, and when will I get the boat?"

Duke's words startled old Jackson.

Unexpectedly, this young mage, who seemed to have never seen the world, really wanted to build a ship.

Don't give money to your door in vain.

Old Jackson sighed, "I don't have that much material here, I only have five keels for a new boat. No matter more, I'm going to spend time looking for material. If you only need five new ships of 30 tons, I can guarantee the quality for you within a month. Each one costs 50 gold. ”

The 30-ton ship is actually very small, 15 meters long and more than 3 meters wide when converted to the dimensions that Duke is familiar with. It's only a little bigger than a sampan.

"Okay, that's it. Here is the deposit. With that, Duke immediately took out the 100 gold coins he had given him in the morning.

"This ...... Not so much, if it is your Excellency Master, we will collect a deposit of 10%. ”

"Then you can help me recruit some sailors. ”

Old Jackson showed a hesitant look on his old face full of surroundings, biting his lip, he finally spoke: "There are many young men who have nothing to do on the dock, and it is not impossible for me to help Your Excellency recruit people." They are all good fellows, and although they have good water and character, they are not sailors. I can't promise you to make them a high-risk deal. ”

Duke smiled casually: "It's okay, just fish and transport some goods that can be seen." On the contrary, I hope that the young men I recruit will be clean, and if I find out who dares to hide a little bit of goods......"

【Calm and Relax】

【Flame Blast】

A fireball the size of a water tank instantly formed out of Duke's hand, flew out, and exploded into the sea near the shipyard.

With a loud "boom", a large column of water exploded.

Wendsol next to him was petrified--Dare Duke still had his hand in the morning! Such a big fireball fell on me, wouldn't I turn into charcoal in an instant?

The people on the ship, including old Jackson, were all shaking their legs and trembling.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to intimidate you, but what I'm going to do next is really important, and I don't want bad guys to get into my hands. With that, Duke nodded, and walked away with Windsor.

Instead of going back to the house that Lothar had given him, Duke went straight back to the Wizardry's guest house and asked Old Man Norton to borrow paper and pen.

Spreading out and fixing the white paper, which was about the size of A2 paper, Duke picked up the quill, which needed ink to write, and silently turned on the system assistance.

The system prompt sounds:

Auxiliary information such as "Drawing Geometry" and drawing software Autocad in the host's memory was detected...... The system is being optimized and organized...... Paint Assist is complete!"

Under Wendsol's astonished gaze, Duke took less than ten minutes to draw a section of the elevation of the sailboat and hand it to Wendsol.

"You put this drawing away. That's 500 gold coins. I need you to make a trip to Kul Tiras, and you will kidnap me the whole family of craftsmen who are capable of building a ship of this calibre...... Uh, please go back to Stormwind. If I don't come back by then, you will put him in the house that Lord Lothar gave me. ”

Well, Wendthor can't read the drawings. But he barely recognized that the name of the original owner on the golden ticket recognized by the Seven Kingdoms of the Human Race and redeemable in the main city of the Seven Kingdoms was the respected old mage Norton.

"Shhh

Wendsol asked, "Then what are you going to do during this time, Lord Marcus?"

"Leveling, of course, oh, cultivating magic, and making preliminary preparations for this investment. ”

The mage's world is not something that a big soldier can ask about, and despite his suspicions, Windsol is grateful to Duke for trusting him. After all, in his opinion, 500 gold coins is already a huge amount of money. You know, this amount of money is enough for a small family to live a prosperous life for a lifetime.

Unexpectedly, Duke didn't even ask a word, and directly handed over this huge amount of money to him.

"Well, rest assured, I, Reginald Windsor, will live up to your expectations. ”

Here, Duke hurried back to his 'home' in Stormwind and left Stormwind. Lothar did value him, and his home was in the garden area. By pre-crossing standards, it was already a villa. There are two small gardens of about ten square meters in front of and behind them.

Before the crossing, if it was placed in a first-tier city, it would definitely be millions of expensive real estate. But in Stormwind, compared to the mansions of those nobles, this is really a very ordinary level.

Duke didn't think about it here.

Since it is a house destined to be destroyed by war, there is nothing to worry about.

However, Duke's investment reached the ears of another group of well-intentioned people in a short period of time.

Fam Brando laughed on the spot when he heard the news of Duke's investment in shipbuilding.

"That idiot - to build a ship? Stormwind doesn't have any special products to sell! We collect so many taxes every year, but we can only be slaughtered by the group of profiteers at Kurtilas, or even more damn goblins......"

"Well, I'll just watch Duke lose his pants!"

The Brando family is not stupid. When Lothar veilly asks the Brandos about their feud with Duke, the Brando family sternly warns Fam Brando.

"Until you have a clear picture of the situation, you are forbidden to contact that Duke in any way, directly or indirectly. Otherwise, if you offend Lothar, the entire Brando family will be destroyed. ”

Not being able to make a move on Duke for the time being doesn't mean that you can't 'bless' Duke with the worst curse. In fact, not only Brando, but also in the Spell Academy, there are many mages who look at Duke's approach with contempt.

In their opinion, the noble mage himself went into business or something, which was simply an insult to the mage profession.

Even the most neutral mage will feel that Duke is not doing his job properly, and that he has wasted his talent and time. After all, the ocean of magic is so vast, and the lifespan of a human being is too short for the time required for a magical career.

But Duke didn't care about any of these things.

Hiring a wagon and a team of mercenaries, Duke spent five days traversing the Elwin Forest to the Wild West southwest of Stormwind.

"Wild West! I'm coming!"
