In the next few days, Fang Plover was testing the maneuverability of the 'Wasp-I'. The first time, the Parral people were still shouting loudly: "You mean this thing is called a 'Wasp', but it is obviously Silver——" Then this person was locked in the utility room with a dark face by Fang Plover, who found an excuse.
However, although he has no talent in choosing the name, the design itself is very good. The flying speed of 'Wasp-I' is more than 50% faster than that of ordinary clockwork goblins, and its dexterity is comparable. The only disadvantage is that the difficulty of control is doubled. The computing power requirements shown on the panel are the same.
But perhaps because of his role as a designer, Fang Plover accepted it without any hindrance, and soon he was able to control it like an arm with his fingers. In the next few days, everyone could see the silver shuttle shuttle in various rooms on the platform, as if Like streams of silver light.
'Wasp-I' is still a derivative model of the Clockwork Fairy, but it is indeed something that did not exist in the past. It is actually a type of alien Clockwork Fairy, a new type of alien body, but there is nothing surprising about it. . Alchemists are craftsmen and authors. As Fang Plover understands, new flexible structures, variants, and even categories are born all the time in this world, but most of them will soon disappear in the long river of history. .
Unless he really produces a classic model that is accepted by the public and leaves a name in history, he can be regarded as entering the world of masters for the first time - just as he did in the Tansnier Craftsmen Guild. Seeing those collections, the people who left them in history had more than one work.
Fang Piao never dreamed of reaching the sky in one step, but he still had to find a time to register his drawings with the Tansnier Craftsmen Association.
He went out alone. After leaving the animal pen, he took a rail carriage and headed to the gate of the Craftsmen's Association. After passing through that gate, he entered the first floor of the Tansnier Craftsmen's Association in a flash of white light. In the empty hall.
The first floor of the hall is covered with a thick patterned carpet, which extends behind an arched counter, which is the external office of the Craftsmen Association. Behind the counter, there is a dark-skinned girl with a pair of braids, holding her hands. He is holding a thick book, with a pair of mismatched glasses on his nose, comparing it with a notebook, and is reading carefully.
When Fang Plover came closer, he heard the footsteps and raised his head. His green eyes showed a hint of surprise when he saw him. She recognized Fang Plover - in fact, after the 'glorious deeds' not long ago, and through word of mouth, there were very few people here who didn't know this 'character' who made their president's lady cry.
She couldn't help but chuckle, closed the book in her hand, and asked with a sound like a silver bell:
"Mr. Ed is here again, is he still looking for President Elna?"
Fang Yu stood still in front of the counter, shook his head, and replied: "I'll do something, Camilla."
Camilla is the name of this little girl.
Camilla was a little surprised: "Hey, what's wrong with Mr. Ed?"
"I designed some small things and want to enter the design drawings."
Hearing this, Camilla was not surprised. Alchemists always like to design strange little things, although most of them are useless. The guild also has no threshold for entry. After the combined communication crystal is checked for plagiarism by the differential engine of the Grand Association, as long as there is no duplicate design, it can be included in the database.
There are probably thousands of drawings recorded every day by craftsmen's associations in various places. To put it bluntly - most of them are waste paper, and basically no one will care about it after they are entered - but there is no guarantee that there will not be a time when history shines. There is no such precedent in history.
"Did Mr. Ed bring the design?"
Fang Yu nodded. He was no longer a novice in this area.
Taking out the drawings, the little girl checked it herself. Of course she couldn't decide anything, so she only praised her in detail: "Mr. Ed's drawings are really good. Apart from Ms. Elna, I have never seen such meticulous and compliant design drawings. They are just like the standards mentioned in the book." Exactly the same.”
As Camilla spoke, she opened the drawer, took out a few potions, and murmured: "Purple flower, basilisk horn powder, No. 12 magic solution... No. 12, No. 12... It's so disgusting, these people are using it again." The label is lost..." She raised her head and gave Fang Plover an apologetic look:
"Mr. Ed, please wait a moment, I need to find something."
Fang Yu was very embarrassed to praise before, but now he just smiled and nodded.
The little girl rummaged through the boxes for a while before finally finding a spare magic solution: "Okay!" Camilla clapped her hands and made a sound of completion, and then mixed these things together in a glass vessel.
There was a gurgling sound in the alchemy cauldron, and the final mixed solution revealed a transparent and charming purple color——
She picked up the solution and carefully poured it on Fang Plover's stack of drawings. At the same time, she explained to Fang Plover: "Mr. Ed, this is the magic smell guide. It can 'distinguish' the magic ink, and then we can use it." By scanning the crystal, the information of the drawing can be converted into magic information and recorded in the crystal."
Fang Yu nodded, watching this scene with some curiosity.
In fact, he had heard about the process of inputting drawings before, but this was the first time he saw the actual operation, so he did not find it boring, but rather enjoyed watching it.
After Camila carefully soaked the drawings with the solution bit by bit, she opened the cover of the machine covered with copper pipes. Underneath was a dark marble slab with a Tansnier Craftsman Association logo etched on it. emblem and decorated with gold edges.
She turned around, raised the two corners of the drawings with both hands, and immediately picked up one of the drawings from the stack of design drawings - strangely speaking, the wet drawings were not glued together, but were very sticky. Separate smoothly.
Camilla saw this scene and explained: "Mr. Ed, the aster flower powder in the olfactory guide has the effect of smoothing the surface."
Fang Plover nodded.
At first, craftsmen used manual copying to enter drawings, but manual copying was inefficient and error-prone. Later, they gradually switched to mechanical copying. It was not until the beginning of this century that the method of entering magic scent agents and magic information came into being and quickly became popular. replaced traditional technology.
However, no alchemical technology is perfect from the beginning. The ingredients in the olfactory guide must have been summarized by predecessors and added little by little, so that they can be used so conveniently today.
In fact, this is true for any technology——
Camilla laid the wet blueprint on the obsidian, and then inserted a red calcite into the machine. The crystals on both sides immediately lit up, and a laser-like golden line shot out from it, slowly moving left and right on the blueprint. Extend forward. Fang Plover took a look and silently estimated the speed in his mind. He also knew that the process of entering these drawings was very long, and it might not be completed in an hour or two.
Camilla also stuck out her tongue: "This old antique is so troublesome. I heard that the latest machine is more than two or three times more efficient than this."
"It's a pity that President Erna has applied for funding several times, but none has been approved." The little girl muttered, "I heard that other craftsmen's guilds are self-financed, but why is our guild so poor?"
Fang Yu couldn't help but shook his head when he thought of Ms. Erna's appearance.
Behind the weird machine that Camilla called the 'decomposer', in the direction of the counter, there was a round metal platform, about the size of a human face, with a surface as smooth as a mirror, and an orange crystal suspended on it. .
"Mr. Ed," Camilla pointed to the crystal and said, "This is the information crystal. It also has the function of a communication crystal. It is connected to the main crystal of the Istania Craftsmen Association - Kaolin - There are seven main crystals in Ithulian, and they are connected to each other through the etheric road and the one in Grande."
However, the little girl frowned, patted the crystal with her hand and said, "It's strange. There has been a certain delay in communication recently. Is this thing also aging?"
Fang Plover was speechless for a while about the craftsmen's association that had been in disrepair for a long time.
But the words were unintentional, but the listener was intentional. When he heard what the other party said, he couldn't help but ask: "Are communications often delayed recently?"
"Well," Camilla nodded, while holding her glasses with her hand: "This thing started to malfunction a month or two ago, but it has become more and more frequent recently. It is probably going to break. If If the information crystal is broken, you can only apply for one from the Istania Craftsmen Association, and there are no spare parts for this thing."
Fang Yu felt relieved when he heard that this situation existed two months ago.
After some operations, it really took more than two hours to get all the preparations done.
The verification results from the Grand Federation were quickly sent back to the Istania Craftsmen Association, and turned into a notice with only a few lines of text. The note creaked from an old automatic machine. Spit out from the typewriter.
Camilla pulled off the note with a 'swipe' sound, took a look at it, and said to him with joy: "Mr. Ed, congratulations on the drawings you entered entering the catalog of the Kaolin-Ithurian Alchemy Association. , since this is your first design, you can get double points as usual——"
"Your drawing was jointly rated as C+ by three masters. The quality evaluation is excellent, the practicality is average, the structure is complex, the cost indicator is high, and the control difficulty is - difficult."
She read the note and said, "The level of the design drawing is level 11, with a basic score of 110 points. Multiplied by the above evaluation parameters, it is 175 points."
Camilla raised her head and looked at him with admiration with her emerald eyes: "Multiply by two, it's three hundred and fifty points... This is Mr. Ed's first work. This score is quite high."
After leaving Kapka, Fang Plover worked as a 'wild alchemist' for a while, and it can be said that he was not familiar with the standards of the Craftsmen Association. Even though he learned a lot of basic knowledge from Ander later on, it was impossible for him to explain everything to him in just one week.
He couldn't help but ask: "Camilla, is this score very high? Generally speaking, what is the score?"
Camilla thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Generally speaking, most people's first work is considered to have passed if it scores 50 or 60 points, and 175 points is quite an exaggeration. It seems that the person in charge of the review Master craftsman, are you very optimistic about Mr. Ed's work?"
Fang Yu's heart moved and he asked: "Camilla, can you help me check if there are any blueprints for the 'Battle Fairy'?"
Camilla nodded, walked over and slapped the information crystal again, which made Fang Yu sweat profusely, fearing that the little girl would completely destroy the crystal with a slap.
But it seems that this repair method is also common to other worlds.
Soon, the other party came to the conclusion: "Yes, Mr. Ed -" and then she exclaimed: "Oh my God, the score is so high, more than 17,000 points..."
Fang Yu was not surprised after hearing this. As a revival of an ancient school, Battle Fairy can be said to have the significance of establishing a sect. The reviewers from the Craftsmen's Association are all masters of various schools. Of course, it is impossible not to know the goods, and it is not surprising to give a high score of more than 10,000 points.
He thought for a moment and then asked: "Camila, where are you checking the crystal-step design? This is not a design drawing, it is a technical entry. Please check the list."
Design drawings and technical input are always two ways for craftsmen. For example, the 'Wasp-I' he designed is a design drawing, and the 'Structural Siren' he invented reproduces the technique of Numerin's 'Creation Technique'. It is a new alchemical technology.
Of course, the 'Creation Technique' is based on his absorption of dark elements, and may also be related to a series of secrets between Fang Nini and the Golden Dragon. Before he understands this, he is This technology will not be leaked easily.
Similarly, there is Zero Crystal technology.
Camilla followed her words, and then exclaimed again: "Ah, I found it...Crystal step design, ancient technology, catalog T-104, uploader, Ed..."
She turned around in surprise, unable to close her open mouth: "Mr. Ed, this is the ancient technology you uploaded...Mr. Ed, you also know ancient technology...points...points...wait, ten thousand Two thousand two hundred points...!!"
Fang Plover took a deep breath.
Although I had expected it, I still couldn't help but feel a sense of sudden surprise when I heard this score.
The ancient technologies that Arquette and Merifon had urged him to register with the Elpaxin Artisans Association were also on this list - and although the two old dwarves were indeed a bit more sinister, in terms of alchemy, human beings were The quality is very good. The person who uploaded this technology indeed had his name written on it.
As the prerequisite technology for the battle elf design, it is not surprising that this skill has scored more than 10,000 points for the master craftsmen.
However, there are traces of a modification on this score. It should be that the earliest master craftsmen did not give such a high score - but with the emergence of the battle elf design drawings, the responsible reviewer remembered this and went back to modify it. Rating results.
For the first time, Fang Yu felt that the legacy left to him by Master Haien-Fam was indeed an extremely huge wealth - not to mention everything that the non-attribute crystal brought to him, just the marginal knowledge in it could also be used in Twelve thousand points were redeemed in the Artisans Association.
This in itself is a real value——
Generally speaking, the points of the Craftsmen's Guild are similar to those of the Adventurer's Guild - they can be used to exchange for some precious materials, knowledge and other resources. The selectors roughly gave this point a relatively intuitive valuation, which is roughly multiplied by one hundred and fifteen, which is equivalent to Riser of the same value.
In other words, the 'crystal-step design' alone is worth nearly 1.5 million Lisels.
Although it seems, it is only equivalent to the value of a magic weapon belonging to a top member of the Grand Guild.
But when I think about it, it is almost equivalent to more than twice the entire wealth of the Seven Seas Brigade since its establishment to today - except of course the Seven Seas Traveler.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "I can use the money... isn't it, points?"
Although points cannot be directly converted into money, they can also be given to others through an internal market provided by the Craftsmen Association. Although there is a discount of about 10%, and the Craftsmen Association will charge another 10% stamp duty, 80% of the 1.5 million Lisel is still 1.2 million, and he has no plan to Swap them all out, it's just the right time for emergencies.
But Camilla glanced at it, her eyebrows sank and she said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ed, it can't be done."
"how?"
"It says above that your guardian and instructor have certain requirements for using the points given by this technology."
Fang Yu was shocked: "Teacher Ande?"
"No," the little girl shook her head like a rattle: "It says Arquette - Sparkle and Merifon - Frostbrow."
"These two damn old bastards!"
Fang Yu was so angry that he almost cursed. The slightest favorable impression he had just established towards the two old dwarves suddenly disappeared without a trace. He said angrily: "What do they want again?"
"First, we require you to reach level 23," Camilla was startled by him and whispered: "Then we require you to participate in the Continental League... If not, at least wait until the end of the Continental League..."
"The Mainland League lasted a year and a half after it started!"
Fang Yu was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Level 23 was okay - he knew that the two old dwarves were very optimistic about him and were worried that he would squander all the money and delay his future in alchemy. And he originally had Level 22, so it wouldn't take long for him to reach the next level.
But the mainland league is not something that can be ended in a short while. First of all, after the qualifiers are over, the preparation period alone lasts for eleven months, followed by seven months of tour time, and the final month in the capital of Oshu.
The whole time, no more, no less, was exactly one and a half years.
After waiting for a year and a half, the day lilies are cold.
He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do, because the technology was uploaded with help from others, and he was indeed an apprentice at that time, and this aspect was also under the rules of the Craftsmen Association.
There was no other way. Fang Yu could only settle for the next best thing. He did not think about this huge sum of money for the time being and just asked:
"Okay then, I want to make the drawings I entered public. Is there any handling fee?"
After the impact of twelve thousand points, Camilla looked at him differently.
The little girl shook her head respectfully and replied: "Not only is there no need, the guild will also reward you."
Fang Plover nodded.
The so-called making the drawings public means that everyone can access them - of course, this is not free.
The craftsman world focuses on sharing knowledge rather than monopolizing it. This may be a form of commemoration of the knowledge passed down to humans by the elves of Numelin - but it is also unintentional - the knowledge that circulates freely today has also created the development of alchemy. Prosperity and development, over time, after people realize the benefits, corresponding rules are established one by one.
After the arrival of Earthlings, the mechanism of patent law was introduced to make this system more rigorous.
An excellent design often brings various benefits to the craftsman. One is the patent fee of the design, which can be enjoyed until the author dies or leaves this world.
Don't underestimate this profit, it is equivalent to 35% of the cost of the design drawing. This means that every time someone else makes a finished product, they need to pay 35% of the cost, exclusively to the drawing provider. This fee will last until the blueprint provider leaves this world, and then it will be converted to a buyout system——
In this contract, there is a double guarantee between Anji Na and Ms. Roman, which ordinary people would not dare to violate easily.
However, there is a special place here. Since the Chosen Artisans often leave this world very early - as a living professional, they are generally no more than forty-five years old. Therefore, the Artisan Association especially likes to collect the Chosen Alchemist's works. Drawings may even lower some standards.
So under the guidance of Camilla, Fang Pulong filled out the form, and then the latter applied to the information crystal. After a series of procedures, Fang Pultru finally got the first pot of gold for his design.
Three Istanian gold coins.
Approximately equivalent to thirteen hundred lisels.
This is an advance payment of patent fees by the guild. Although most of the costs will not be recovered in the end, the guild will not pursue them, which is almost equivalent to an incentive mechanism for designers.
Camilla said from the side: "I heard that some people now make slight improvements on ordinary design drawings just to make a small amount of money. Such drawings have no meaning at all, and are just to avoid duplication checks. Now In order to deal with such people, the Craftsmen Association has further enhanced its inspection efforts...Huh, there are these clever guys everywhere."
She glanced at Fang Yu and quickly added: "I'm not talking about Mr. Ed. Mr. Ed is much better than those people."
Fang Plover couldn't laugh or cry.
But he had to admit that there were indeed people like this everywhere.
While the two were chatting, a group of people suddenly entered the guild hall from the outside. Fang Yu looked back and realized that they were a group of mystics wearing purple robes.
He was startled for a moment before he remembered these people - they seemed to have met these people on the day they went to the Sand Lodge - he couldn't help but look back, thinking that he didn't know the little girl Parker saw that day. , is it among them?
But he glanced over and suddenly remembered that the other party rushed out that day, and he didn't know if it was related to the wandering alchemist? After all, mystics and necromancers have very high status in Istania, no less than the royal family. Her Royal Highness may not be able to get any information from these people.
While he was thinking, the little girl behind him said again:
"It's those mystics again."
"What?" Fang Plover turned around and asked, "Have they appeared recently?"
Camilla looked over there and nodded slightly.
…
