"Since Her Royal Highness has not decided yet, it means there is only one option..."
...This sounds like the princess might help him with equipment modifications when she comes.
Dean sighed and decided not to embarrass himself.
"The other candidate is the heroic mage Mira, right?"
He asked a little uncertainly: "I am entrusting myself to the magicians, can they accept it?"
After all, the two sides are still competitors. If they really agree, it would be equivalent to staking their claim on the enemy, right?
Ryan said honestly: "I think the witch may need to worry about this, but you shouldn't have to worry about it for the time being."
After all, the strength of these two forces was too obvious to be separated from the next two. He recognized his friend's potential, but he really didn't think that based on the current situation, there was a need for the other party to be too afraid of Dean.
Seeing his extraordinarily sincere expression, Dean choked instantly, his throat rolled up and down, and for a moment he didn't know what to say back.
After the two were silent for a long time, Ryan cleared his throat and changed his reason nonchalantly, "The magicians caused a lot of damage in Area 13. Adjutant Timothy was very insistent on compensation. It is said that they paid compensation for this." A lot of money, most of which was borne by the magician named Mira."
"Even if she was relatively wealthy before, after spending such a large amount of money, her wallet will be depleted by more than half. If you entrust her at this time, even if you are a competitor, there is a high probability that she will not be rejected."
Everything was as normal as if the previous conversation never happened.
Dean said with a fake smile, "It makes sense, I will refer to it."
The words of approval coupled with his expression revealed a clear sense of disharmony.
Ryan couldn't help but pick up the tea cup and cover up his embarrassment with the gesture of drinking tea.
After joking for a while, Dean took the initiative to bring the topic back to the topic, "I hope that the entrusted magic prop maker can sign a confidentiality contract. Can the wizard... agree?"
After all, the blood analysis equipment was obtained from Morrison, and it was inconvenient to disclose its origin to outsiders, so just in case, it was best to sign a confidentiality contract so that he could feel more at ease.
Otherwise, it would be terrible if Mira completed the commission and turned around and reported his matter to the Knights.
Ryan didn't ask him why he had such a need. He just analyzed: "You follow the normal entrustment process and signing a confidentiality contract is not an excessive request."
"Since Mira is as famous as she is now, it means that her level and reputation have been recognized by the public. As long as she signs a confidentiality contract, there should be no problem."
After hearing this, Dean's expression softened slightly, but then, the man in front of him changed the topic and overturned the conclusion just now.
"But you are now competitors after all..."
"Mila may not be worried about the enemy, but she may choose to refuse because she is worried that you are setting a trap."
Ryan said objectively.
And this is what worries Dean.
In the current preparation time before the official start of the Origin Guild selection, the relationship between the four forces is in a relatively tense state.
Each of them may stumble upon each other for this spot.
The binding confidentiality contract that Dean wants to sign is likely to be within the other party's alert range.
Although he knew that he didn't have that kind of intention, there was no good way to make the other party take the risk.
If you think about it this way, it is quite possible that Mira will refuse.
Seeing the thoughtful look on his face, he seemed to be in some kind of dilemma. Ryan couldn't help but come up with a bad idea, "If Mira doesn't understand, you can also choose to wait for Her Royal Highness Princess Sigrid." When we come to District 13, ask her to help with the renovation.”
When he mentioned Her Royal Highness the Princess, a look of pride suddenly appeared on his face.
"Your Highness can definitely be called a master-level figure in the production of magic props. Even Raleye City recognizes this. Every year when the knowledge exchange meeting is held, she will be invited to give courses. That Mi I dare not say how good the magician is, but Her Highness must be better than her."
Dean glanced at him, doubting the truth of this statement.
Because when Ryan said this, his face was filled with an emotion that could be called blind confidence.
It's like those mercenaries in the tavern who start bragging after a glass of wine.
It's really hard to trust.
Moreover, even if Princess Sigrid's level is really as high as he described, there is still a serious problem before Dean...
"Even if the princess really comes to District 13, she won't be able to help an ordinary breeder like me modify the equipment, right?"
Hearing this question, Ryan made a move, a little stunned by the question.
This question is different from the previous one. The confidential information involved cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
Whether it is the conflict between Paul II and Paul III or the political stance of Her Royal Highness the Princess, these are things that cannot be discussed in detail with Dean.
So Ryan could only say vaguely: "Maybe His Highness is very interested in selective breeding."
"What a weak explanation."
Dean commented, "This reason is much more perfunctory than the previous two."
The so-called "two reasons before" were naturally used by Ryan to explain why Mira would not refuse to "invest in the enemy".
Listening to his old talk again, Ryan raised the tea cup again and poured himself tea in a disguised manner.
"Huh? Has Her Majesty the Princess ever modified equipment for ordinary people, or ordinary civilians?"
Although he didn't know the secret behind it, after thinking about it for a while, Dean quickly realized something was wrong.
If there was no possibility at all, Ryan shouldn't have mentioned it to himself so many times.
And since he has been teasing himself, it means that this plan is not completely uncertain.
"Had."
Sure enough, Ryan gave an affirmative answer.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has always insisted that an excellent magic prop maker is honed by being constantly made things difficult for her. Therefore, she has concealed her identity and accepted many commissions that sounded outrageous to others, including Many civilians, because..."
Dean held his chin up and continued: "Because only people who don't understand anything often make the most difficult requests."
The same is true for concealing one's identity. It can prevent these people from retreating and putting forward some simple ideas because of their identity as princesses.
With such determination and awareness, it’s no wonder that Princess Sigrid has become the leading magic prop maker.
While thinking this, Dean's heart moved.
If Princess Sigrid has this kind of character that rises to difficulties, then the equipment modification she wants may not be successful.
Seeing that Dean seemed a little shaken, Ryan curled his lips and finally couldn't help but reveal his fox tail.
"So, do you now also think that it is a good thing for Her Royal Highness the Princess to come to District 13 as a representative of the royal family?"
Um?
After hearing the knight's words, Dean put down his tea cup. The two doubts that had been lingering in his mind were instantly answered, and he felt like he suddenly understood.
"This is the purpose of tempting me all the time, right?"
"Ahem, cough, actually it doesn't count."
Ryan waved his hand and denied.
"The main reason is that the leader wanted to put more pressure on himself, so he said this before I left, giving me a chance to talk to you."
"I didn't want to mention it at first, but the topic of equipment modification was so suitable that I couldn't hold it back for a moment, so..."
As he spoke, two blushes appeared on his face.
Dean felt a chill at the sight.
He found that Captain Lensak was really a ruthless person. He was able to force such an upright Ryan to behave in such a frivolous manner, which was considered a different kind of mastery.
He shook his head in amusement and interrupted: "What do you need me to do?"
"...If you can provide some information on magic pets, or books on breeding, the leader said it should be able to attract the princess to a certain extent..."
It's not an excessive request.
Dean nodded readily and said, "Okay, but when the time comes, the Knights will have to tell me a few more things about equipment modification."
"Of course...of course."
The conversation got deeper and deeper, and Ryan became visibly guilty.
He was a little worried. When Dean really went to Her Majesty the Princess to make this request, he wouldn't be settled by Captain Qiu Hou, right?
Ryan imagined the scene and couldn't help but suggest to Dean: "Why don't you ask Mira first? Maybe she would agree directly without Her Highness the Princess taking action?"
"After all, you have to try something before you know the result."
You have to try everything before you know the result. Dean naturally knows this truth, but he didn’t directly propose to go to Mira. Naturally, he also has his own concerns, “If she doesn’t want to, I will rashly propose to sign a confidentiality contract. Doesn’t it mean that I have a guilty conscience and gave away a clue in vain?”
Ryan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's a dead end for smart people. Then just find an ordinary device to fool it. The confidentiality contract can be explained as a personal habit you developed in order not to leak business secrets. Even the magician If you don’t believe it, there is no reason to seek verification.”
"Don't forget, I live next to you. If you lend them some courage, no one will dare to enter the breeding house to test it."
...makes sense.
Dean raised his head in surprise and looked at the knight in front of him with a rather novel look, "I know."
This is really a feasible approach.
I just didn’t expect someone with thick eyebrows and big eyes like you to have such crooked thoughts.
The old saying is true, you can’t tell a person by his appearance.
Ryan didn't know that his image in Dean's heart had changed subversively in just a few sentences, and he was still giving his proposal dutifully.
The two of them talked to each other and quickly finalized the equipment modification.
After talking about the equipment modification, Ryan went straight to the topic. This time he didn't dare to let Dean ask questions anymore. He told Dean about the files in order and continued talking until the evening. The task was completed and I was ready to say goodbye and leave.
When going downstairs, Ryan noticed the large hole in the wall that had been simply repaired, and asked curiously.
"Why is this hole still here? Do you plan to repair it together when it is renovated?"
Dean looked in the direction of his gaze and saw the large hole in the wall that had been barely patched up.
"I plan to breed a new magic pet to carry out decoration and construction work, so I won't spend any more money to hire a construction team."
He explained casually.
The selection and breeding of the building block workers all use the breeding animals that are already in the breeding house. The selection and breeding is basically equivalent to no cost, but it is much more cost-effective than hiring someone to do it.
He had to think so hard that he would spend money to find someone to decorate it.
"Is there such a kind of magic pet?"
Ryan looked shocked.
Since he has been in contact with Dean for so long, he has some understanding of magic pets, but he has never heard of such a special magic pet.
For a time, it had a certain impact on his knowledge of magic pets.
Dean said truthfully: "There wasn't one before, but because I thought it would be better, I bred one."
Ryan suddenly understood what it felt like for Dean to be choked and speechless just now.
He was silent for a moment, walked all the way to the living room, and then slowly said: "After you are selected and bred, you can ask Kana to inform me to come over and have a look. If it can really replace manpower..."
"Then the opportunity for the breeding house to cooperate with the Knights may come sooner than we think."
Ryan pointed out something.
Dean understood the meaning of his words immediately, but it took him a while to react before he suddenly realized that Ryan was right.
He had been falling into a misunderstanding before. He felt that building block workers were a type of construction work with no combat effectiveness. After being bred, they could only be used at specific times. For the breeding house, they could only serve as a labor force. Just a function.
What he didn't realize at all was that the Knights were adjusting their residential area and also needed to make renovations. With so many people in District 13, there would always be people who needed to be renovated due to the impact of the beast tide. In this case, a small building block worker like The magic pet was originally bred for self-use, but it might be much more useful than he thought before.
The breeding house can even develop new businesses through this.
And considering that the Blood Storm Breeding House has collapsed, and the Knights are currently in a state of vacancy of partners, they have a certain need for the selective breeding of Warcraft.
This is a good time for the Demon Pet to take advantage of the situation.
After understanding this, Dean's enthusiasm for breeding brick workers suddenly increased a lot.
He suddenly realized that the Brick Builder was a much more useful magic pet than he had thought before.
Its significance to the breeding house is far more than just an ordinary labor force.
