Chapter 1205: Four Stooges
"What are you going to do with him, do you want to help him marry Sister Xingzhu?" Shaodian Luan smiled evilly.
"Your sister Xingzhu didn't help you give birth, do you need to push her into the fire pit?" Ding Kui countered lightly.
"Lu Chao is a person with a lot of background, how did he become a fire pit?"
Speaking of giving birth to a child, Shaodianluan was a little weak-hearted, after all, he hadn't discussed it with Ding Kui beforehand.
"Such a brain-dead rookie is not a fire pit? I can slap him to death with a single slap, but it's still a forbidden law. Ding Kui was very disdainful.
Lu Chao was very wronged, who was not good for him, but he was against Ding Kui, who had comprehended a trace of the law of the wind element, a person who had a higher understanding of the qi element than him, and he was also a knight with a divine weapon, and he was defeated in one round in a panic. Fight again at a different time and place, and he should be able to hold on for a few more rounds.
This time he didn't find Ruan Xingzhu and planted a big heel, he and his subordinates were imprisoned, because of his noble status, he was locked alone in a room similar to a guest room, but he was not abused,
"I want to see Shaodianluan! I ask to meet your eldest princess in the name of Prince Lu!" he kept shouting.
He had never wanted to be someone else's prisoner, he had a murderous aura that sealed several important acupoints, making him unable to use magic, he felt very uncomfortable, and he was used to living a good life, and he desperately longed for freedom.
But no one paid any attention to him, and it was not until evening that someone came and dropped a plate of dry food and water, and replaced the dung bucket by the way, and did not mean to talk to him at all.
The nobles were given special treatment when they were captured, they could meet the basic physiological requirements, and they had a stable rest environment, which was a common practice in the Shenyuan Continent. If you don't want to kill a noble captive, it's better to treat him well, otherwise the nobles of the whole continent will remember your cruelty, and they will not be soft when they encounter you in the future.
"What should you do if you got that trouble and are clamoring to see me?" Shaodianluan threw the question to Ding Kui.
"Yo, don't you pretend? I don't believe that the people from the state city don't know whose territory this is, but the old god is on the ground and calls the master to come out to answer, if it weren't for the face of Master Gui, I will chop him with a knife. This was expected by Ding Kui.
Lu Chao categorically would not talk to him, otherwise he would be asking for hardship.
Master Gui really didn't want the Lu Dynasty to die in the Shaodian Kingdom like this.
"What? Ding Kui caught Lu Chao, hehe, interesting. However, we can't let Lu Chao die in our country, otherwise the Fengshen Courtyard will have an excuse. Someone came, summoned Rong Ci, and arranged for someone to rush to Juyang City as soon as possible, take away the Lu Dynasty, and send it back to the Lu State safely. Gui Jing received a summons from Ruan Xingzhu.
"Hehe, that kid knew that I had rejected this family business, and when he arrived in Zhenjing, he deliberately didn't inform me, and went to Juyang City to find discomfort. Ding Kui did a good job! He didn't make me look away, and indirectly helped me teach that kid a lesson.
Hehe, with Zhu Bi's character, he should be able to deduce it once, although he won't fall into the realm, he can't run away with a small injury, and Ding Kui can have more room to grow with Xiaozhu on his head, a good thing!" he smiled gloomily.
The next evening, an elderly magician with a Chinese character face walked out of the Southern Demon Branch, looked up at the sky, and muttered, "Am I fast enough?" Hey, every time he runs errands, he calls me, and the teacher still treats me as a child. Gotta go another county road, and you won't die in one night, right?"
With the help of Ruan Xingzhu and Qingyang Zi, Qianyou made the first luminous array disk, and looked at the milky white light excitedly, "It's done! This can last at least a year." ”
"Wouldn't the mahogany board be too rough? "Qingyang Zi is not very satisfied with the first test product.
"It's all all the bells and whistles, and it's going to add a lot of costs. Ruan Xingzhu didn't understand the craftsman's thoughts.
"It's not much, it adds up to less than two gold coins, and if you take it out and sell it, you should be able to sell it for this amount. Qingyang Zi stretched out a palm.
"Hardware coins?" asked Qianyou.
Qingyang Zi nodded, Ruan Xingzhu's face was full of disbelief.
"No, no, no!" Ding Kui didn't know where to get out, "At least ten gold coins, this thing is not for civilians, but for rich people to show off." ”
He pointed at Qianyou: "How many can you make a month? This is not a mass-produced thing, as long as I put a few at home, there will definitely be people on the market who want to buy at a high price, and everyone must not be able to buy it in line." ”
"Yes, even if all the shells are made by the disciples, the placement of the magic core and the activation of the array disk must be done by His Excellency Qianyou, and it is considered a tool that only a magician can make, and it will be sought after by wealthy merchants and nobles. "Qingyang Zi knows how to do it and can understand what Ding Kui means.
He is a master of handmade luxury goods, and the simplest thing can be sold for ten or eight gold coins.
"You don't make much money by selling ten gold coins, you can make a thousand gold coins a month, don't you guys like the price?" Ruan Xingzhu is no longer a girl in a poor ravine, and tens of thousands of gold coins are not in his eyes.
The wind gust alone can bring her stable income, and Ding Kui's railway bureau has her shares, with an income of at least a few thousand gold coins a month.
"I don't participate in this transaction, the two of them discuss it, I don't want money, but magic items into ordinary people's homes. Ding Kui knew that he had been misunderstood.
This is something that can't be helped, his ability to make money is more prominent, and doing something new will be associated with making money.
"Is this that important? Don't fool me. Ruan Xingzhu looked at Ding Kui vigilantly.
"The tide of elemental energy is on the rise, low-level magic cores will flood the market, and the magic federation has more and more inventory in its hands, and I can find a way to consume a little bit to help the magic federation make money. ”
Part of the words was the content of the negotiation between Ding Kui and Kuai Lian, but a few people present couldn't hear it.
"Then how much can this consume?" Qianyou didn't understand, he himself consumed a maximum of a few hundred a year.
"If you can do it, others can do it, how many magicians are there in the kingdom? ”
Ruan Xingzhu heard a clue and said, "Does this have anything to do with the general association's declaration of neutrality?"
"Ahem," Ding Kui pretended to cough to hide his embarrassment, "Well, the decision of the Magic Federation is not something I can control. He replied vaguely.
"Cut. Ruan Xingzhu rolled his eyes.
Qianyou and Qingyangzi glanced at each other, revealing knowing eyes.
The three of them all have an inseparable relationship with Ding Kui, and these things are tacitly understood.
"Teacher, it's still a bit wasteful to use the magic core in this way, you have to find another way to gain the approval of the craftsmen across the country. Qingyang Zi hopes that Ding Kui can come up with the achievements of craftsmen across the country.
"I have another idea, which is not very mature for the time being, and I will share it with you this time, and I hope we will discuss it together. ”
As the so-called three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, Ding Kui came to find the stinkers.
Several people were very interested and calmed down to listen to Ding Kui.
"We know that the magic clock has a very complex structure, and the principle is to use magic exhaustion to calculate time, so that the magic guild has the ability to maintain it, and it is impossible to appear in ordinary people's homes.
The royal family has an offering to use a magic clock, but ordinary people, even the Grand Duke, will not have it at home, so they can only use simple timekeeping tools instead, and they have to go to the magic guild for calibration for a period of time. ”
Speaking of which, Ding Kui took out a drawing and some small circles.
"These are gears, and you can use them to create a clock that requires just a constant source of power to push the gears and make the clock on this drawing turn on time. ”
Qingyang Zi asked for the drawings, but no one fought with him, and the remaining two couldn't understand it.
"Oh, it's not complicated, but these gears are not easy to make, they have to be very fine to ensure the accuracy of the clock, and even if there are molds, it takes a lot of work to polish. "It didn't take him long to understand the drawings, and he was a master craftsman.
"Is the magic core used as a power source?" Ruan Xingzhu grasped an important point.
"It's so difficult for the wind to push the gears!" Qianyou shook his head vigorously.
"Of course not with wind power, I have two options, one is vibration, which requires earth-based magic, and the other is rotation, which requires water-based magic. Ding Kui held up two fingers.
"You know more about magic than I do. Qianyou looked at Ding Kui in surprise.
I told him. Ruan Xingzhu spoke out to relieve Ding Kui.
"Oh, no wonder. Qianyou's tone was meaningful.
"The rotation is relatively stable, and it is suitable for driving the gear set. "Qingyang Zi doesn't understand magic, judging from mechanical movement alone.
"Well, you can make a circular water flow device, fill the water and flow inside, and then use the principle of the waterwheel to bring it to the gear set, the disadvantage of this solution is that it is too large, and the advantage is that the energy consumption is low. Ding Kui glanced at Ruan Xingzhu.
"It's acceptable to be bigger!" Qingyang Zi calculated the approximate volume, "It's less than half the size of a wardrobe, and those who can afford to buy a clock have a place to put it." ”
"The magic that moves the heavy water is simple, it should be simpler than my wind turbine. "Ruan Xingzhu doesn't understand water magic, but he can calculate it against qi magic.
"Well, push the gear set to drive the pendulum, and then use the pendulum to drive the other gear set. Ding Kui explained to Qingyangzi, and Qingyangzi nodded frequently.
He probably knew the principle of the pendulum clock, but he didn't have the ability to copy it, so he could only tell Qingyang Zi to let the master copy it.
Qingyang Zi can't imagine the pendulum clock out of thin air, and it is different if someone points to it, and with the actual gear, he can immediately build a complex gear set in his mind, and new ideas are constantly emerging.
"Does the clock work?" asked Qianyou weakly.
The Magic Guild will ring a large bronze bell every morning and evening at seven o'clock in the evening, so that people who hear the bell can calibrate the time, and ordinary people don't need too precise time.
The other three replied at the same time: "Yes!"
Qianyou shrunk his neck and no longer dwelled on this question.
"Hmph, is this helping the new sister-in-law make money?" Ruan Xingzhu couldn't help but think of Li Fei.
"If your own family can do it, hehe, why not let your own family make it? The key is to use the magic core energy efficiently, which system of magic is the most economical to use that system, I didn't set up who to do it in advance. ”
