Four more days passed after Fang Plover's Imperial Workshop party.
After that, the Ayin Block Artisans Association sent a notice to commend him for his contribution to the development of alchemy. This notice circulated in a small area within the association for a while, and many alchemists in Ayin Block knew that there was He is such a great person.
Yayo and his companions, who didn't know what was going on, even sent a letter to congratulate them - they were currently inspecting the area around Ayin Bullock and would not be able to return in a short time. Fang Yu disagreed, but he couldn't express his views on the Oshu people to the two of them, so he could only reply with a wry smile.
The Imperial Workshop sent him an iron medal, in addition to a bonus of 20,000 Risels. Fang Pliong threw the medal casually into the drawer, but accepted the 20,000 Risels bonus with a smile.
After that, he used the money to treat everyone in the Seven Seas Brigade to a feast, and everyone was full of praise for the imperial cuisine.
Ms. Estina also sent gifts to Gu Jin's Magic Attic, which were probably a batch of alchemical raw materials, which were valuable. They also had the Knight-type Annihilator and Throat-type Monster that Fang Plover bought last time, and each Two more units were added as gifts.
The value of this batch of gifts was nearly half a million Lisels, which flattered Fang Plover. He had a bad opinion of the Imperial Workshop, but he had no dissatisfaction with Mr. Dottori and Estina. After receiving the gifts, the relationship between the two parties took a further step.
Estina said that if there is such a cooperative relationship in the future, the Penthouse will give priority to informing him, and Fang Yu happily agreed.
Fang Yu asked again about what happened after the tower magic furnace. He was very curious about what the empire thought of the non-attribute magic furnace. The Oshu people didn't care about the technical route of non-attribute crystal, so why did they value that magic furnace so much?
Estina thought for a moment and told him: "The Empire actually has a very important research, and the technical route of the tower magic furnace is closely related to it. The master craftsmen of the Empire's workshop hope to find themselves from it. I want the answer, but everyone knows very little about that magic furnace."
As for the rest, she couldn't say more.
"Fortunately, Mr. Ed happened to be here. The ideas you proposed helped us a lot and made the research a big step forward after that," Estina added. "The commendation from the Craftsmen Association was promoted by several big craftsmen. It was posted under, but it’s a pity that you are from Kaolin, otherwise they might let you join the Imperial Workshop.”
However, Fang Plover had no interest in joining the Imperial Workshop.
Only then did he understand why the empire's alchemists had that attitude.
But what exactly is the research related to attributeless magic furnace technology? He was curious, besides the Fairy Dragon Soul, what else definitely required the Zero Crystal.
It's a pity that the technology that the Imperial people are working on secretly will definitely not be told to an outsider.
He put away his curiosity and just regarded the Imperial Workshop group as an unexpected episode. However, this little episode did bring him a lot. In addition to the friendship from Gu Jin's magic attic, more importantly, he learned that the non-attribute magic furnace still exists in this world, and that technology The route has been taken by predecessors.
Although it was only glimpsed in the Imperial Workshop, the existence of the finished product of the non-attribute magic furnace means that its technical data also existed. Maybe there will be other discoveries in the Nozpitz mining area.
Fang Plover wrote down the name of this place in his diary.
Regardless of whether it was good or bad, nothing unexpected happened in the next period of time. Fang Plover maintained a two-point life on the Seven Seas Traveler with gears and magic books. He studied the crystal left by the great wizard Ash and occasionally needed experiments. He would return to the ship and stay for a day or two on weekdays. He locked himself in his room and read the books and materials borrowed from the 'Mobius' Mobile Fortress.
Sylvide would occasionally accompany him. Baggins, Luo Hao, Luo Yu and others who came to protect him could also be seen on the ship. He was not alone. The ship officer was considerate, and Fang Yu had unknowingly gotten used to having her around.
A cup of steaming tea.
Or a book handed to me.
Sometimes he would feel uncomfortable when she was gone. Alyssa smiled and said that Sylvester had spoiled the captain. Fang Yu was a little embarrassed, but he didn't know how to refute.
Sylvester just smiled. The afternoon sun soaked through the glass pane and fell on the side of her face. Her slender neck was white. Through the sunlight, she could see the capillaries under her skin, showing a faint blush.
She rested her chin on her hand and stared at the captain with sparkling blue eyes.
"Silverde, you don't have to be so meticulous," Fang Pliong put down the book in his hand, feeling a little frightened in his heart, "You are the ship's officer, my deputy. What I mean is that there are some things that you don't need to handle personally. Like serving tea. , I can handle small things like finding books by myself. You always make me feel like..."
"What do you think?"
"I am the Chosen One," Fang Plover said sheepishly, "You know, you don't have to take care of me so carefully."
"I'm not your ship officer now, I'm your girlfriend," Sylvide said with a smile. "Shasta has taken care of me since I was a child. I don't have the habit of taking care of others. But I like someone, and I do it willingly. Doing all this for him, what? Does anyone stipulate that ship officers cannot like their own captain? "
Fang Yu was startled.
The two made an oath to each other in the sea of silver sand, but after that, they experienced many things. He was the captain, she was the ship officer, and their relationship never took a step forward.
The completion of the Seven Seas Traveler was part of his fulfillment of his vow, and after that they traveled on the clouds and seas.
This was the first time that Sylvester answered so frankly.
"how?"
There was a hint of unexplained joy in Fang Yu's heart.
He only shook his head, "It is true that no one has stipulated this, my Miss Ship Officer."
Sylvester smiled narrowly: "It's my dear Miss Ship Officer."
"Okay, dear Miss Ship Officer."
Sylvide looked at the book in his hand, "Are you still studying that crystal?"
"Yes," Fang Pliong closed the page of the book. He had plenty of time to study, but at this moment he wanted to talk to Sylvester, "The crystal left by Mr. Ash is unknown to whom he worked. Although it is still It’s primitive, but very sophisticated.”
"If I want to study the Star Array, the inspiration I can get from it may not be as good as directly studying the Dragon Hunters, or the key chapter that Shana gave me. But this crystal gave me another idea. I think I have a better understanding of the δae type. The magic furnace already has some ideas..."
Sylvester realized that the other party had been thinking about this issue recently. Fang Yu told them about the non-attribute magic furnace. It was precisely because of that chance that he could become the chosen one and the owner of the Fairy Dragon Soul.
Their fate is determined, but it varies from person to person, as if an invisible thread connects the two people from both ends of the world.
Then bring him to her.
Fang Plover said that the γae type magic furnace is approximately suitable for levels between 20 and 30. As a magic furnace suitable for the range from level 30 to level 40, this is the final threshold for the Chosen in the first world. It is also destined to be the last type of magic furnace designed by the former in the first world, the δ crystal. Design is particularly critical.
She thought carefully about how she wanted to help Lin En's family.
"About the Lynn family, I did remember one thing recently." Sylvide thought for a moment and said.
"oh?"
"But if you ask me about this, it's better to ask Siesta," Sylvide recalled. "I just suddenly remembered that my father actually visited the empire after that."
"——At least twice in my memory. The last time he went to the empire was fifteen years ago, and he brought someone back from here during that trip to the empire."
Fang Yu asked unexpectedly: "Is it Siesta?"
Sylvide nodded.
"Shesta is from the Empire?"
But Fang Yu never felt that the maid lady and the imperial people had anything to do with each other, and they were not similar at all.
"I didn't say that," Sylvester replied, "but Siesta does have some secrets of her own, and I respect her choice, so I never mentioned them."
"But the old servant of the Lynn family said that he had not seen Sir Mawei after that. You were also present at that time, so he should have no need to lie about this matter."
"Indeed, I think so too. The servant of the Linn family said that he never saw my father after that. This is indeed true."
Sylvide thought for a moment and then said:
"...But fifteen years ago, it was shortly after Sir Ash passed away. I think with my father's character, he would not turn a blind eye to the Hart Principality."
"Some things happened during this period, and others may not know it. But if Shesta was with my father all the time at that time, she might have some memory of what happened at that time."
Fang Yu was stunned for a while.
He didn't expect that there was such a reason.
Sir Ma Wei returned to the empire in the past twenty years, but it is indeed unclear whether he went to the Shilu Principality again.
Judging from the time, Sir Ash just passed away fifteen years ago, his old friend passed away, and the Lynn family was in chaos. Someone may have seen this great adventurer after that.
But how many people really know?
It is entirely possible that the old servant of the Linn family has not understood it.
But he thought for a while and suddenly smiled bitterly: "But with Siesta's character, if she was willing to take the initiative to tell us, she should have said it early. She didn't say it, maybe she had forgotten it long ago, or she didn't want to tell us."
Fang Plover knew very well.
Even if he is the captain, if the maid does not want to speak, this status will have no meaning to the latter.
She has always been so cold towards outsiders, except for her own young lady.
Sylvide also nodded.
"It is true that Shesta and I are called masters and servants, but in fact I will not force her to do anything against her will."
"It's just that if the captain wants to know what happened fifteen years ago, I'm afraid he can only communicate with Siesta. Isn't it? After all, she is much more reliable than outsiders no matter what."
really.
No matter how indifferent the maid is, she is still a member of the Nanami Troupe and is always more trustworthy than outsiders.
Fang Plover nodded.
But after that, he quickly realized that he had thought of the problem too simply.
The maid lady was much more difficult to deal with than expected. When faced with his questions, the other party just looked at him coldly and either didn't answer or pretended not to see him and walked away from him.
After the Seven Seas Traveler was built, the relationship between him and Siesta had softened somewhat because of Sylvester. But because of these issues, the relationship between the two became very tense again, and the other party didn't seem to like these inquiries about the empire at all.
Finally, at Sylvide's suggestion, Fang Plover gave the maid a bag of flower seeds, and the relationship between the two was eased again.
Siesta took the bag of flower seeds and said to him: "I know that the lady asked you to give it to me, so I accepted it. The lady agrees with you, and I also think you are quite reliable, but please don't ask again. I asked those questions because I don’t have a good impression of this place—"
"As for why, you will understand later."
After saying this, the maid turned and left.
Fang Plover was left alone, slightly surprised. In his mind, this was the first time that the maid expressed her emotions so clearly. She did not seem to like the inquiries.
He conveyed Siesta's words back to Sylvide, and the ship's officer was slightly surprised when she heard it. "Sorry, I didn't expect this result," she apologized. "Shasta looks cold on weekdays, but she is actually a very good talker. She must be quite reluctant to mention those things. It seems I did unnecessary things..."
"I think so too." Fang Yu also shook his head, "Actually, I should have thought that Sir Ma Wei would take her out of the empire, which means that Miss Siesta has nothing worth cherishing here. A person is willing to leave his hometown. , how can you have any good expectations for the original memory?"
That’s what it says——
But Fang Yu was still a little concerned about what happened to the maid, and Sylvide seemed to be the same way.
It's just that both of them are smart people and wisely solved this problem.
Although the maid would almost certainly answer if Sylvester asked, but bringing it up in such a situation would only open up the scars in the latter's heart again.
That makes no sense and is unnecessary.
And it seems that the matter has nothing to do with Ash Lynn. After all, if it is related, the maid lady will not hide it.
Shesta has always been calm and rational, and has clear priorities. Sometimes she doesn't care whether she will be injured, she only judges whether something is necessary. She didn't answer Fang Yu's question, although she didn't like it, but it was also because there was no need.
After the small conflict with the maid, life returned to calm.
In the days that followed, Fang Plover not only did not relax, but became even busier. On the one hand, he had to prepare supplies for the Oak Knights, and he also had to find specific ships to send batches of the finished equipment.
On the other hand, he still had to find time to debug the batch of main battle structures sent from Gu Jin's Magic Attic and modify the parameters. The choke monster is okay. Debugging a split structure like the Knight Annihilator is a purely physical job.
The Combat Craftsman is not just a construct that you can use right away. Although it can be controlled by connecting the main core crystal and the resonance crystal, it takes a familiar process to command it like an arm. This process can only come with a lot of training.
Transforming daily training into experience, and then transforming experience into relevant skills and knowledge, this is exactly how the system born from the Starlight Device works.
It's just that Fang Yu still remembers An Luoser's teachings to him, and occasionally shuts down the system and tries to do it himself. He has the foundation laid in Kapka and Dawn Star, so it is much easier than others to try in this area.
However, with the help of the system, it is indeed much easier than manipulating the construct by yourself.
After that, he modified the structure of the 'Disaster Star' and made a small upgrade. There was no major improvement. The main thing was to improve the properties of the 'Disaster Star' and 'Silver Bee'. After the transformation, the growth rate of the two types of combat clockwork fairies is roughly around 10%.
This transformation can also be regarded as training for the subsequent competition. Among the alchemy raw materials pre-ordered from Gu Jin's magic attic, more than half are used for this, and the upgrade cost is about 100,000 Lisels.
Fang Yu further expanded the formation of the 'Calamity Star'. His original ratio of Silver Bees to Calamity Stars among all his clockwork goblins was roughly three to one to six. But now the proportion of Silver Bees is gradually declining, and it is expected that they will all gradually be replaced by Disaster Stars in the future.
He didn't have time to debug and become familiar with the Imperial Morning Star and Seraph. After all, debugging the legendary configuration took much longer than ordinary configurations. What's more, he still had a few related skills that he hadn't fully learned yet, so he couldn't use them for the time being. Not to mention the full power of this legendary build.
After learning the knowledge of the heavens and the dragon scale sequence, all the combat and knowledge experience gained since the Northern War had been spent, and he was still short of even one of the three major skills needed for Delan's magic recovery.
However, he has already copied down that skill and can only learn it after gaining experience.
However, the two high-level skills of Heavenly Knowledge and Dragon Scale Sequence are of course not only used as pre-skills for Delan's magic recovery. They also have many special functions. Since Fang Piao has learned these two skills, he will naturally use them as well. They are included as part of future planning.
But right now, his mind is focused on the craftsman competition that is about to start, so he only suppresses two skills and will think about how to make them work when needed.
Yes.
Once you get busy, time seems to fly by.
Unknowingly, it was already March in Aiyinbrok. Although it was still some time before the start of the craftsman competition, Fang Plover had already received news from the 'Mobius' mobile fortress that the Kaolin-Ithulian craftsmen The association's delegation is coming back.
The first to arrive were the people from the El Paxin Craftsmen Association.
Fang Yu got the news in advance and took everyone from the Seven Seas Brigade to the Imperial Airport to pick them up. The delegation of the Elpaxin Craftsmen Association is an old acquaintance of his, and it includes a group of dwarf masters that he is very familiar with. However, this time Aquette stayed in Elpaxin and did not come over. The white-bearded old dwarf whom the Erpaxin Artisans Association had met - Merifen.
In Fang Plover's impression, Master Melifan is considered the more reliable one among the dwarf masters, at least much better than the hot-tempered Arquette. Compared to the stubbornness of ordinary dwarves, Master Melifan is more like a wise man.
Of course, this is only relative to dwarves.
The other party was obviously very happy to see Fang Plover. He strode up and gave the young man a solid hug - in the dwarf way. Fang Yu didn't expect that a master craftsman would be so powerful, and he almost saw stars in his eyes.
"Ahem...Master Merifan, please be gentle." He couldn't help shouting.
Merifen laughed, "You humans are so weak, you are not as good as Alvin Quinn's tree drills. You need to get some training, Ed."
"I am the Chosen One," Fang Plover rolled his eyes and sneered at this, "The physical attributes are all determined by the system. Besides, Master Merifen, you say so much about Alvin Quinn's Elf Alliance, Princess Brianne, she do you know?"
Merifen was startled and quickly stroked her long white beard and said, "You must never tell Her Royal Highness this."
"Why are you so afraid of Princess Brianne?" Fang Plover has wanted to ask this question for a long time. In his impression, Princess Brianne is actually quite an easy person to talk to. "Although the dwarves and elves are allies, she She’s not your Eldron princess, isn’t she?”
"She was the hero of the Battle of Byrne," Melifan said to him thoughtfully, "That's not fear, that's respect."
"Ed," a voice came from behind Merifan, "What, are you secretly asking about me again?"
The sound just didn't scare Fang Plover out of his wits.
He looked in that direction, and sure enough he saw the princess on the trestle, looking over here with a smile. Brianne's long elf ears twitched, and he said hello to the ship officer behind him: "Sylvid."
Sylvide also smiled slightly. In Fang Plover's opinion, the two of them were very similar, one big and one little fox lady.
But next to Princess Brianne, he saw someone unexpected.
"Liu Li?"
The young man was looking at the port with a stinky face, as if the entire empire owed him millions of lisels.
Hearing Fang Plover's voice, he looked over and reluctantly responded:
"exist."
