Sylvide nodded.
"Build a boat, but why?" Fang Plover asked.
Sylvide said: "Mr. Ed, do you still remember that I said that our ideals might be surprisingly destined?"
Fang Yu recalled for a moment before he remembered that such a thing had happened, but he still nodded in confusion. The maid stepped forward to hold the box, and Sylvester let go of her hand, gently touching the gilded carvings on the suitcase with her fingertips.
"Because this ship is my father's last wish, I have been trying to find someone who can build it, but there are many great alchemists in Corrin-Ithurion, and there are very few people who are willing to help me. Among them, the right person It’s even closer to nothing. The Craftsman Challenge in Traveler’s Rest was my last stop in Kaolin-Ithurion. I originally planned to meet Talize, the master of alchemy who hosted the competition, because what happened later That kind of thing didn't work out, I actually decided to go to Oshu after returning to Elpaxin, but I didn't expect that I would meet you by such a coincidence."
"I?"
"While fighting Nicol Bolas, the Dragon Witch, I unexpectedly discovered that you possess an ancient dragon soul. This was really an unexpected surprise for me - you know, at that time I thought you were Mr. Eddard." He was a dragon knight who was hiding his identity. And then I heard that you needed a boat, and at that moment I understood that you might be the person I was looking for."
Fang Yu then completed the details bit by bit in his mind, and asked in surprise: "Do you think I am a dragon knight?"
Sylvester smiled mischievously. "That's what I thought at the time, but now I think about it. Mr. Ed should have obtained the dragon soul accidentally, but he is not a true dragon knight."
Although she guessed that there were some mistakes in the direction, for example, what he got at that time was not a dragon soul, but a zero-type crystal that was a hundred times more precious; but the details were consistent - he was indeed not a dragon knight, and he had not activated it. Talent, and secondly, there is no dragon knight structure. Before level 40, these are basically things that have no shadow.
"You said that this ship is your father's last wish?" Fang Piao seemed to realize something: "So it is a design drawing, a design drawing of a new ship?"
Sylvide lowered her long eyelashes, looked at the suitcase at hand, and did not deny it.
Only then did Fang Yu understand why she always carried this suitcase with her at all times and wouldn't even let her personal maid touch it. He originally thought it was because of the fairy constructs inside, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
Recalling that when she handed Meimei to him, it seemed that she had indeed been carrying this box with her. Now that she remembered it, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
And it shouldn’t be too simple for an alchemist to call it the ship of his last wish, right?
Fang Yu couldn't help but look at the two lines of ancient mottos on the suitcase, 'Time passes like water, and wisdom grows with each passing day -'. If Sylvide is really from this ancient family, as the inheritance of Rose Workshop The person - her father is definitely not an unknown person.
He couldn't help but be curious about the design drawing and asked, "Can I see that design drawing?"
After asking, Fang Yu felt that his question was a bit too abrupt.
In the midst of embarrassment, Sylvide took the initiative and said, "It's not impossible, but I need a promise from Mr. Ed."
"promise?"
"You know, the design of this ship is one of my father's most important wishes, so I will never leak it to anyone until I find someone who can build it, but if Mr. Ed can promise me--"
"Wait a minute, Miss Sylvide." To Sylvide's surprise, Lord Fang shook his head and interrupted her. "No need, I was too abrupt."
Sylvide was stunned for a moment and looked at him in surprise.
Fang Yuanhan continued with some seriousness: "Promise seems simple, but it means responsibility, Miss Sylvide. Shipbuilding is a huge project, ranging from the laying of the keel to the installation of every rivet. It requires the cooperation of countless craftsmen. Every category in this systematic project, down to how to put glue on ships and small jobs such as copper cladding, has countless processes, thousands of crafts and related knowledge, and I am just one person who has not yet mastered it. As a fifth-level alchemist, if I ask myself, I cannot do this."
"Besides, I have already made a promise to another person. Everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis. If I promise Miss Silverd again, I am afraid it will delay your affairs."
He silently thought of his promise, Miss Scarpet and everyone at Dawn Star, and his eyes couldn't help but soften.
There is some silence in the forest.
The gentle breeze caresses, the sun shines slightly, and the girl and the boy stand opposite each other.
A glimmer of light flashed through Sylvester's eyes. She originally thought that this big boy would be easy to deceive, but she didn't expect that he had such a side.
She shook her head. "It doesn't matter, because I am also familiar with the affairs of the craftsmen, and I naturally know that this is not something that can be accomplished overnight. I have made long-term preparations. Even if Mr. Ed is unable to do it now, I can wait-"
The girl raised her head and looked at him with bright eyes, as if to convey the meaning that she would not give up easily. "
Fang Plover couldn't help but express his words.
But he knew very well how difficult it was to build a floating ship. No matter how much he expanded before, he never thought that he could build a ship by himself.
In El Paxin, a shipyard ranges in size from a few hundred to tens of thousands of people, but even to build the smallest seventh-class miscellaneous ship, at least dozens of people need to work together - and this kind of ship has its own weight. At only one to two hundred tons, it can only be regarded as a small boat, and it is not even capable of ocean navigation.
This does not include the investment in space, materials and funds.
In addition to the governments of various countries, even many top wealthy clubs and large guilds do not have complete shipbuilding capabilities. Most of them will choose to buy a ship or place the order with a shipyard in the country where they are located.
What's more, after being deceived a lot, he has become far more cautious than before.
Fang Yu's thoughts were still very clear, and he subconsciously said: "Why must it be me? I have just graduated as a trainee alchemist, and it is not certain whether I can grow to that height."
Sylvide thought for a moment before replying: "Because Mr. Ed is an elf user and also possesses such a dragon soul. A voice in my heart told me clearly that it would be difficult for me to find another person like this. The right person, so I trusted my instincts.”
"Fairy envoy? That kind of dragon soul? Does this have anything to do with your father's last wish?" Fang Pliant asked.
The girl nodded. "Have you ever heard of the Fairy Dragon Knight, Mr. Ed?"
"I heard that-" Fang Plover subconsciously wanted to speak, but then he realized that he was not talking to Miss Tata. He suddenly realized something, as if he had a feeling of being hit by five million cash, but he still subconsciously concealed his first intention. "Wait a minute, I don't quite understand?"
But Sylvester looked at his expression and held back her laughter. This person pretended to be calm, but it was clear that everything was written on his face, which made her feel a little cute.
She didn't answer, she just put her hand on the suitcase and pressed the mechanism in the gilt carving. The suitcase popped open and opened in half, revealing the brass thorns and roses inside, as well as the doll girl among the flowers.
But what was different from last time was that a piece of parchment was spread out and nailed to the other side of the suitcase. As soon as Fang Plover saw the parchment, he couldn't take his eyes away.
What was drawn on the parchment was not a design drawing of an aerospace ship. Drawn in a grid drawn with a ruler and compass were three views of a magical device with a somewhat strange appearance. It also uses dense text and data to indicate the specifications and tolerances of each set of gears, crystals, large and small pipes, pistons and bearings.
At the top of the three-dimensional view, there is a line of thick and simple Ithulian dwarf writing, which writes the name of this magic weapon:
'Built-in Guy crystal array set dedicated, buoyancy and dragon core parallel generator, Cattleya Orchid fairy type - the twenty-seventh plan. "
As soon as Fang Yu saw the configuration of this magic weapon, he had some kind of guess in his heart.
Cattleya Orchid Fairy Type - Plan 27, parallel generator of buoyancy and dragon core. And what is Dragon Core? That is the crystal core and base of the Dragon Knight. It is very different from the flexible core base that only needs to provide a socket, a holder, a ceiling and a set of heat dissipation devices.
Because the crystal core of the Dragon Knight involves the exchange of a huge amount of etheric magic power that is unimaginable in the scope of general alchemy, it is necessary to handle such a magic flow to prevent the crystals and plug-ins in the core area from being instantly vaporized into ashes, or overheated and exploded. It takes a set of genius designs that work.
This kind of design has always been a top secret in all countries.
Fang Piao has not seen the real dragon core with his own eyes, but he has never eaten pork and at least has seen pigs running away. After all, he is also a formal alchemist with a professional background. By understanding some of the side configurations and designs, he could at least roughly judge the authenticity of the design drawings.
And this is not an ordinary dragon knight core.
Because it is called a 'built-in Guy crystal array group dedicated, buoyancy and dragon core parallel generator'.
And what is a built-in Guy Crystal Array? They are the unified source of lift for all types of aerostats of any size in Etalria.
Any type of floating ship in Etalria is powered by a special magic device - the buoyancy generator. The latter is actually an alternative magic furnace with a built-in Guy crystal core. People install these magic furnaces that provide lift during operation side by side to form the basic unit of the Guy crystal array group.
In other words, this is actually a proprietary device for aerospace ships——
In Aitaria, the configurations of dragon knights are all kinds of strange and varied, some are large and some are small; but you can only see such a device if there is a kind of dragon knight configuration.
That is the floating ship type Dragon Knight.
This is a very specialized dragon knight. Because it is too large and bulky, it cannot be ranked in the first or second echelon among the dragon knight configurations, and even the third echelon is very reluctant. However, if you compare it with an aerial ship, it is far stronger than an ordinary aerial ship, because it is still a dragon knight after all.
It is precisely for this reason that this type of dragon knight has become one of the three major categories of dragon knights, accounting for a large proportion of dragon knights in various countries.
For example, among the three flagships of the Oshu Empire, the oldest one has been passed down for more than two hundred years and has experienced seven generations of dragon knights. Kaolin-Ithulian also has similar battleships, and even several large guilds have more than one such 'Dragon Knight'.
There is no other reason, it’s easy to use.
The floating ship type Dragon Knight's ability to fight alone is only at the bottom among the Dragon Knights, but when used in group operations, it can often play the role of the mainstay.
And the design of the Dragon Core in front of me is even more special among the special.
Even Fang Plover couldn't help but raise his head and look at Sylvide who was not far away.
The aristocratic girl seemed to have been waiting for his gaze, and replied calmly: "You guessed it right, Mr. Ed. This design is exactly the design of an aeroplane-style, fairy-type dragon knight-"
She raised her eyelashes slightly and looked at him jokingly. "As for the Fairy Dragon Knight, although it is not a secret, it is at least a set of abandoned cases that are not known to everyone. I have heard of such a type of Dragon Knight in the vast pile of old papers in Etalia, and Mr. Ed has also heard of it. Someone who knows it specifically.”
Only then did Fang Yu realize that his thoughts had been seen through by the other party, and he couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.
Sylvester looked at him with a slightly narrowed look. "And this design drawing should be the only remaining design of the Fairy Dragon Knight in the world. What about Mr. Ed, do you want to join?"
Want to join?
Fang Yu really didn't know how to answer for a while.
Of course, he first wanted to confirm the authenticity of this sentence, and asked in his heart: "Miss Tata, is what she said true?"
For a moment, Tata's calm voice came from Fang Plover's heart.
"In Kaolin-Ishulian, apart from the Silver Tower, only the Rose Workshop has such strength in the fairy configuration. If the plan does not change after I leave the Silver Tower, her The design may really be the only design of the Fairy Dragon Knight configuration.”
"But it's a bit strange. As far as I know, the Rose Workshop is far behind us in the progress of the Fairy Dragon Knight. They are better at designing the Fairy configuration rather than the Dragon Soul. Generally speaking, the Dragon Knight configuration The design and construction of the Dragon Knight system should be the last stage."
"Also, this specifically refers to the situation in Kaolin-Ithurian, but there are unique fairy heritages in Osu, Giant Tree Hill and Lotao. There may not be plans for fairy dragon knights in those places. But this It does not fall into the category that I know and can only provide Mr. Knight with a possible judgment."
But this possibility is a bit too slim, Fang Yu couldn't help but think.
"Okay," he nodded: "But whether it's a dragon knight configuration or an aeroplane, I really don't have a clue, and I can't guarantee when your ideal will be realized-"
Sylvide smiled slightly and stretched out her hand to him generously. "As I said, I don't mind, Mr. Ed, it's a pleasure to work with you."
The slender palms are as white as porcelain, and the fingertips are slender, showing a subtle red color in the sunlight. Fang Plover hesitated to hold it, and felt a cold and delicate touch in his hand, like melting snow and the floating fragrance of a girl.
It was a little quiet in the forest.
For a moment, Fang Yu didn't know what to say next. Instead, Sylvide smoothed her hair and asked casually: "So, will Mr. Ed go to Grande next?"
Fang Yu was slightly startled. "How did you know?"
Sylvester smiled. "Of course I asked Miss Attila."
"Ah--" Fang Plover then realized that he had asked a stupid question and nodded. "I have that plan, but there are some other things to do in the middle... By the way, why did Miss Sylvide suddenly ask about this?"
"Because since we started to cooperate, we naturally have to have a long-term plan, right?" Sylvide tilted her head and looked at him playfully. "As Mr. Ed said, shipbuilding is a long job, and in addition to self-improvement, we also need to do some preparation work——"
"Preparation?"
"For example, funds, manpower, and shipbuilding plans. I have other plans regarding funds. As for the other two points, I actually have some plans."
"Intend?"
"I mean, it is naturally impossible to start making a real aerospace ship from the beginning, but we can start from repairing and completing the semi-finished products. In fact, the Rose Workshop has an unfinished 'Cattleya Orchid Fairy Type' 'The Dragon Core, it would be much easier if we could get it."
"Wait, you got it?" Fang Yu was stunned: "Isn't that what your father left for you?"
"Of course not," Sylvide replied: "You know the relationship between nobles and families, right? I am not the only heir."
Fang Yu suddenly felt like he was on a pirate ship. "Miss Sylvide, where is the 'half-finished product'?"
"You don't have to worry about it, Mr. Ed." Silverweed tilted his head playfully and winked at him: "Don't worry, I will arrange everything."
"But--"
"No buts," the girl smiled slightly: "Mr. Ed, let's get back to the topic, okay?"
It's strange to be relieved.
It had only been a few minutes, but Fang Yu began to wonder whether he had made another wrong decision. He couldn't help but asked with a little fear: "The main topic?"
"As for the manpower issue, isn't Mr. Ed going to create an adventure group?" Sylvide asked rhetorically. "So your adventure group and the crew on the ship, Mr. Ed, do you have a goal in mind?"
"Ah, well..." Fang Yu couldn't help but be dumbfounded. What a waste of thought he had. He was only at level five, did he need to think about such long-term things?
But think about it, before Sylvide raised this question, he seemed to have never thought about it carefully.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu couldn't help but blush. Thinking of Haikou, which he had boasted about before, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. However, making plans was not his strong point.
If you think about it carefully, Miss Scarpet has been in charge of this aspect since he came to this world.
As for before that...
A certain girl with a wicked smile appeared in his mind.
Sylvide looked at his overwhelmed expression with interest and said, "Actually, I think Mr. Ed's companions are very good. Have you not considered forming a long-term adventure group with them?"
"ah?"
"What I mean is that if we plan to build a small boat to try it out first, its dead weight may be less than a hundred tons. We only need more than ten people for such a small boat. An adventure team can completely Capable."
Under the sunshine after noon, Sylvester talked freely, as if she had already planned this.
"The captain is of course Mr. Ed, and I can also serve as the ship's officer. Isn't Mr. Luo Yu a carpenter? As a naturalist, Miss Kita can just serve as a navigator, and Miss Attila can serve as a cook and supply officer. , Miss Sky Blue Fantasy’s role as a poet and communications officer is just right——”
"Then in terms of combatants, Mr. Siesta and Mr. Reid have just qualified as the front row, and Mr. Parker can be used as a long-range supplement. Although they are a little thin, the other members of our team are not without combat effectiveness."
"In the end, we only need to recruit one more qualified healer, plus a chief mage on the ship to manage Guy's crystal and a qualified sailmaker."
"Wait a minute." Fang Yu quickly interrupted her - this was obviously just a discussion about shipbuilding, but why suddenly, this noble girl started to help her build an adventure group.
"What's wrong?" Sylvide looked at him pretending to be curious.
"Why is Miss Sylvide also in the adventure group?"
"Isn't it supposed to be like this?" Sylvide couldn't help but feel a little funny. She suppressed her laughter before replying: "Didn't I tell Mr. Ed that this ship is my father's last wish? After it is built, of course I will You have to stay on it, maintain it on a daily basis, and look after it—"
is that so?
Fang Yu blinked, feeling that something was wrong. Although this was still a matter of not knowing her horoscope, it seemed to her that it was already a done deal.
And he also remembered another question: "Miss Sylvide, why did you include Jita, Luo Yu and Tianlan? They are trainees -"
"What's there?" The girl smiled softly: "We can dig them over. Doesn't Mr. Ed even have this little confidence?"
Fang Yu was shocked. Poaching trainees from the big guild was a bit too lawless, wasn't it? Doesn’t this treat the Super Competitive League as nothing? You must know that there is an agreement between the trainees and the guild.
What's more, where did he get the ability to go to Tianlan and the others to get the place for the selectors?
"That's not possible." He replied quickly. "Miss Sylvide, you may not know much about it, but Jita and the others have agreements with their respective guilds."
Sylvester looked at his panic expression and couldn't help but feel very interesting: "It's just a joke, but it shouldn't be a problem to let them fill these positions for the time being, right?"
"A joke?" Fang Yu thought for a moment and looked at her suspiciously. "If they have no objection, of course there is no problem, but wait a minute - why do I always feel that Miss Sylvide, you have already calculated this?"
"Because it is better to plan sooner rather than later," Sylvide replied softly: "Someone has to make the plan, right? And I am your ship officer now, Captain, this is my job What about the job——
"????"
…
