Jerez had already accepted his fate under the opponent's force and gold coins. He personally killed the traitor, and then sent a sum of money to everyone to let them stay in the camp. However, when these people experienced Cretan magic, they all stayed in the room peacefully, daring not to have any opinions. A powerful mage is too much deterrent for them.
Early the next morning, Jerez was awakened by the movement outside. When he took people out, he found that a lot of tents had been set up outside, and even a hundred people arrived here at night unconsciously. Surrounded their houses in the middle. These people are transporting various materials to the side of the shipyard, as if preparing to build something. And on the periphery of the shipyard area, they have already set up a hill, built a sentry tower and a fence, and wrapped the entire shipyard in it.
The young man named Crete is standing on a small and directing it all.
After seeing Jerez coming over, Crete said: "In order not to disturb you, I shielded the sound around your house with magic. But now it's time to get up and work."
Jerez might have been a little bit dissatisfied with Crete yesterday, but now the mysterious characters who appeared in the middle of the night surprised him. He couldn't figure it out at all. Who would have such a means around him? I'm afraid even the master of Shuangfan City has no such skill. He asked, "I don't know what adults need us to do?"
Crete recruited a foreman who wore a strange semi-circular hat and strange clothes that Jerez had never seen before. "This is the construction manager Lucid on site. A shed is built outside the dock, but the built shed cannot affect the shipbuilding work and the entry and exit of materials, so you need to help revise the original plan. "
Jerez doesn't understand things like construction managers. But still understand what the other party is going to do.
"Sir, are you going to build a ship in the shed?"
"Well. What we do here will definitely attract the attention of people around us. By then there will be various prying eyes, but some things don't want to be known by irrelevant people, so naturally they must be covered." Crete said.
"Then I get it." Jerez nodded.
Crete said to Lucid: "I got the latest news, the ship will come the next day, I have read the drawings, the last shed to be built is not small, will your time be a bit tight?"
Lucid was a sturdy man in his thirties. He smiled sternly: "Relax. This is not comparable to the houses we build in other places. Don't use the speed of ordinary craftsmen to measure us, we are not asking them Building a house brick by brick like that. "
Jerez couldn't understand what Lucid was talking about, but he followed him to see the design drawings. Jerez shipbuilding also had drawings, but the drawings drawn by Lucid for a shed were both delicate and peculiar. The shed was clearly shown from a different angle. Under his explanation, Jerez quickly understood the meaning of the drawings, and then proposed several improvements according to the needs of shipbuilding. Lucid recruited a few assistants, quickly changed the drawings, and was ready to start work.
Jerez saw that a group of workers who had been resting on the side began to line up towards the dock under the greeting of Lucid. These workers, like Lucid, wore strange hats, uniform and neat clothes, and shoes.
These people have been dressed decently, which is the first feeling Jerez sees them. Naturally, he used workers to build this dock, but the workers he hired at that time were no better than slaves. Most of them worked shirtless and barefoot when they were working. Use some simple tools to work.
Jerez followed and saw that there were already many long strips of metal on the construction site. He guessed that they were preparing to build the beam of the shed. He couldn't help but ask, "Here, is this iron?"
Lucid said indifferently: "Almost, it's actually steel. The shed we're going to make is too big to use wood to make it inconvenient. With these standard frames, it's light and strong, and it can be several times faster.
auzw.com "Steel? Oh my God, this is too extravagant. Shouldn't these things be used to build weapons and armor?"
Lucid looked at him with a smile, seeming to see more fuss: "For us, these steels are nothing."
Jerez said: "I just wanted my brothers under my hand to help, but they were afraid that it would be a bad thing to serve."
"Here you are." Lucid patted Jerez. "Watch it with peace of mind. I've seen how my workers built the house. You will know how lucky you are."
"Lucky?" Jerez didn't understand what he meant.
Lucid said: "Because Crete chose you, you will have the opportunity to be like them in the future. You still don't know how good this is."
Between them, the workers have already started their work. Jerez froze at a glance. He saw an unimaginable scene that he had never seen in this life, and even a little absurd.
He saw a worker reaching for a finger, and a heavy steel column erected itself.
He saw a worker holding his hands, and a beam floated like the sky.
He also saw a worker explode with sparks in his fingers, and even if he was given an axe, it would be difficult to split the steel bar into two sections.
Almost all workers are working with various supernatural forces.
He guessed that it should be magic, but he dared not confirm it. The magic that can cut steel bars is not something that ordinary magic apprentices can do, but even low-level mages are very noble people. How could such a person cover his dock here?
He looked back at Lucid as usual, and asked incredulously, "Is this all magic?"
"Yeah. The magic used to build a house." Lucid shouted loudly. "Andy, move slower, you daredevil! Do not lift two beams at the same time!"
"Me, I don't understand, why does the mage do such a thing?"
"Mage? No, they are not mages, just skilled workers who have mastered certain specific magic. This is something that everyone in our place has the opportunity to learn. As long as you are not lazy and hardworking, follow those. The teaching materials left by the masters can learn these things step by step. Of course, no one can grasp this opportunity. There are always lazy people and stupid people who ca n’t learn anything. But they are not qualified to participate in such actions today "Lucid said," The guy who can't seize the opportunity is actually the most stupid, you say it? "
Jerez was speechless. He felt he had a lot of words stuck in his throat, and he didn't know where to start.
