Amy stared at the sculptor's face - he was about sixty years old, bald, with a pigtail tied behind his neck, a silly smile on his lips, and a few scattered dark yellow teeth.
The sculptor stared intently at Amy's breasts.
"No matter how you look at it, he's just a perverted old man with evil intentions!" Amy shouted, "Tell me honestly, what are your intentions?"
"An attempt? An evil intention? What are you talking about?" The sculptor hurriedly looked away and argued hard, "I just want to create a masterpiece that will be handed down from generation to generation! That's all!"
"You only want to create a masterpiece that will be handed down from generation to generation? You can only deceive His Majesty!" Amy asked angrily, akimbo, "The cost of making a sculpture is not small, and you don't look rich. And you actually The plan to give the statue that you have worked so hard to make to His Majesty for free is a bit fishy no matter how you think about it. Tell me honestly, what are you planning?"
"There are too many buried masterpieces in the world. Without a good collector, no matter how great a masterpiece is, it cannot be seen by the world!" The sculptor raised his hands and shouted, "But even if we find the greatest masterpiece in the world How can the reputation of a collector surpass that of the great triumphant? Even if he finds the most exquisite collection cabinet in the world, how can it compare with the bow statue of the flying Sealander? To the King of Sweden, this is The best way to make my masterpiece famous!”
"Okay, let's just give it to His Majesty. But tell me, what do the masterpieces handed down from ancient times have to do with me?" Amy continued to question reluctantly, "Isn't it better to make sculptures for His Majesty? Why do you have to do it? I'm a model? If you can't explain why, I'll expel you from Gotland immediately!"
Amy's identity is no longer just a maid. At this moment, there was a group of her personal guards surrounding the door of the room. As long as Amy gave the order, they would rush in and throw the sculptor out.
Unexpectedly, the sculptor was not afraid, but showed a look of obsession: "Yes! That's the posture. She is obviously a maid, but she has such power...and this appearance and figure, you are so beautiful! You She is the most beautiful woman in the world. The greatest sculpture in the world must be made of the most beautiful woman in the world!"
"Don't talk nonsense over there! I'm self-aware of my appearance!" Amy angrily interrupted the sculptor's praise, "Looking at your appearance and accent, you are completely Alemannic. When have I seen him before? You? Why did you find me? Tell me, are you a commercial spy sent by those Free City? "
"Commercial espionage? What are you talking about?" The sculptor was stunned. "I met you in Hamburg. That was two or three years ago..."
"Nonsense, I never went to Hamburg two or three years ago..."
Amy froze mid-sentence. She remembered that she had actually been to Hamburg two or three years ago.
——To attack the city.
"Who would have thought? The sturdy city wall of Hamburg was actually breached in less than a day! I was forcibly recruited to serve as a crossbowman on the city wall. When I saw you riding that white wolf and charging all the way under the city wall When I came up, I was completely impressed by you! Although the crossbow arrow was already pulled up, it could not be fired at you! At that time, I understood that my sculpture skills were born for you! God gave me this skill, It’s just to freeze your posture and be admired by future generations!”
The sculptor looked at Amy and recounted his feelings obsessively:
"Since then, I have been saving money just to pay for the materials for the sculpture. After almost three years, I finally prepared everything, so I walked from the Alemany Federation to find the sculpture. is you!"
Looking at the old man's fiery eyes, Amy finally realized what had happened - the sequelae of Aphrodite's protection.
She had told Ella before that Aphrodite's protection had a chance of making the caster fall in love with the caster, or the caster falling in love with the caster. Although the chance is very small, she has been performing spells on a group of people recently. Among the thousands of people who have been cast, it is quite normal for one or two special cases like this to occur.
Amy felt a little guilty.
"I'll give you the money for the sculpture. It will come from my own salary. Just let you sculpture a statue, right... I'm sure it's wearing clothes, right?"
On the other side, Ella is also very busy. In order to be able to go to sea in time, various preparations are being carried out in a hurry. Although Ella doesn't have to carry anything herself, various reports still keep her from having a moment of free time:
"King of Sweden! After loading the giant crossbows, the deck is too crowded! Can these trebuchets be unloaded from the ship?"
"No! We have to face a dragon. The more firepower, the better! Let the soldiers walk carefully and don't hit them!"
"King of Sweden! The big ship is equipped with catapults and giant crossbows. What should we prepare on the small ship?"
"We don't need a boat this time. It's too dangerous to sail on the ocean! Just use the Flying Zealander, plus two cargo ships! By the way, several small boats can be stuffed into the bottom of the cabin of the Flying Zealander - stuff them in Just two or three ships, not too many, as there are still goods for trading in them!"
"King of Sweden, I'm here to help carry the boat..."
"Keep learning your sextant! You are the navigator this time!" Ella angrily scolded the student from the academy who ran to the deck. "If you tell me you don't know how to use it when you get to the sea, I will finish it." Your credits!”
"King of Sweden! Rat! We found a rat in the cabin!"
"What?" Ella jumped up, "Quickly prepare the sulfa... No, move the cargo and equipment off the ship first, and give the Flying Zealander a general cleaning!"
Rats can damage equipment and eat vital food, shortening the duration of a voyage. Under the current circumstances, the Black Death might even be spread. For the safety of navigation, Ella had to direct the soldiers to empty the cabin, catch rats, and sprinkle sulfur and quicklime on every corner of the ship for disinfection.
An old sailor working at the port came over and said, "King of Sweden, I think the Flying Zealander has been soaked in sea water for too long. For safety reasons, should I soak in fresh water for a few days before going to sea?"
"Don't make trouble! Do you want me to drive the boat into the Volga River? If you are too strong, come and help carry these equipment back to the boat!"
After being busy for more than half a month, when everything on the ship was ready, the sculpture with Amy as the model was also completed. Amy on the sculpture is wearing a robe with the characteristics of the Seven Hills Empire, holding a book in her left hand and holding a torch in her right hand.
"Originally, I was going to hold a broom with my right hand." Amy complained, "but the old man said that this action was like dusting the ceiling, and asked me to change it to a sword. But I felt that the sword was not suitable for me, so I changed it to a sword. A torch. A torch can also light up the ship at night.”
Ella was very happy:
"Very good! I'll find someone to put it on the bow right away! Then we just need to wait for Lubeck's goods to be delivered, and then we can go to sea!"
