Chapter 186 Taking Office
"No", Fekart refused reflexively like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
Advanced alchemy was an important means for him to acquire wealth. His alchemy notebooks recorded a lot of his insights and several improved high-performance quenching arrays.
Power and Golden Spirit Coins are the two things he values most. He can earn Golden Spirit Coins again if he loses them, but leaking his money-making skills would be more painful than killing him.
Flanders turned his head and shook his head gently at Crown.
Cavendish leaned over and whispered, "The warlocks' spell notes and skill notes are all related to survival. No one wants to disclose them."
Would he still choose death over surrender? Although Clown was a little unconvinced, he still took a step back: "Add the new gunpowder formula and a complete set of alchemy books."
Fecate thought about it, and agreed with a gloomy face: "Deal. However, these things are at my residence, you need to follow me to get them."
Flanders smiled gently and said, "No problem, let's go together, let's go now."
"Wait a minute, wake up the people in the next room first."
Crown pointed to Del's room. Once they left, the door would be open. How could it be possible without a sober person in the room?
You may not encounter thieves, but it will make you feel uneasy psychologically.
"Can you untie me first?"
Cavendish said coldly: "Being tied up will not affect your ability to release the switch. We will release you only after we get compensation."
Fekater cursed inwardly, jumped to the door, and released the switch technique:
"The other person has simply fallen into a deep sleep, reducing his awareness of the outside world. He will wake up if you shake him vigorously for a while."
Crown walked in, woke up the sleeping Del, and informed him of the current situation.
Then, the four of them drove away in a carriage together.
There were no markings on the carriage, and they encountered patrolling guards several times, but Crown showed them the bishop's badge and sent them away.
After galloping all the way, the carriage stopped at a spacious house.
Fekater twisted his numb body and whispered, "Can you let me go now?"
"I don't believe that there are no spell traps in the mansion of a high-level warlock. Tell your servants to take out the things, and we will let you go."
Flanders looked at the wizard with interest and continued calmly, "There is no room for negotiation on this point."
After a few seconds of silence, Fekart nodded resignedly: "Okay."
I don’t know what method the wizard used, but after a while, a brass mechanical bird the size of a pigeon flew out of the mansion.
The mechanical bird flew into the carriage, and Fecat ordered, "Tell Martha to come out and see me."
"Flutter", the mechanical bird turned and flew away.
Soon, a hot sorceress walked out of the mansion and came to the carriage.
Fecat poked his head out and said a few words quickly and quietly in Hermetic, then asked, "Do you understand?"
The lady nodded in surprise: "I see, but we need to deliver a batch of goods recently. If we embezzle it."
"Do as I say!" said the third-level wizard impatiently.
"Yes, sir." The sorceress ran into the house quickly, and after a while she ran to the carriage with a package:
"My lord, your things."
Crown took the package, opened it and checked inside.
The neatly arranged, golden spirit coins emitting charming brilliance, a silver metal block the size of a thumb knuckle, two golden metal blocks the size of a baby's fist, an alchemical formula and three thick alchemy books.
Cavendish picked up the metal block, looked at it carefully for a while, and said:
"Yes, the quality of the adamantium and mithril is very good. You are indeed the most proficient high-level warlock in alchemy in the Brotherhood."
Feika smiled meaningfully: "This is more like a kind of irony."
He paused and said coldly: "If the learner has enough understanding, these three books are enough to promote one to a high-level alchemist."
Clown quickly browsed through the book, untied the wizard's ropes, and said with a smile: "Wizard Fecarter, we have known each other for a long time. We can communicate more in the future if we have the chance."
You bastard, I have given up so much benefit just by knowing you. Just wait, one day I will make you pay back with interest.
The wizard snorted coldly, touched his wound, and got off the carriage.
Clown took out a hundred gold spirit coins, divided them into two parts, and handed them to the two bishops:
"Thank you both for your help. This is just a small token of my respect."
If they hadn't come, Crown wouldn't have been able to extract so much profit on his own.
Cavendish and the other man accepted the thank-you gift without hesitation and with pleasure.
Flanders smiled and said, “Let’s go, let’s go directly back to the Holy Fire Cathedral.
The carriage given by Wizard Fecart is quite good. It can be used as your bishop's carriage in the future.
Keep the horses in the church first. You need to find a decent mansion as soon as possible. This gold spirit coin can come in handy."
Crown smiled and said, "Yes, Wizard Fecart is a really kind person."
He was not worried at all about the hatred he would create with the other party. As time went by, he would only become stronger, and the other party's speed of becoming stronger would never be as fast as his.
This is the confidence that a hacker should have.
. . . .
In the morning, in the forging workshop, everyone gathered near the big furnace in the middle.
Pazzini stood in the middle of the team and gave a speech. He was originally in charge of the workshop.
"From now on, all matters of the workshop will be handed over to Bishop Crown Monet."
Clown, the Bishop?! Blue's fat face showed a trace of excitement. The other party actually became the direct person in charge of the workshop. Fortunately, he got along well with the other party.
Joseph also had a look of joy on his face. He was not clear about the conditions for the bishop's promotion, but he knew that after the status of the senior blacksmith he originally followed was raised, his own status should also rise. At the very least, he could become a trusted lackey.
Some are happy while others are sad. Andrea's face was not so good.
Although Pazzini was the highest person in charge of the workshop in the past, he was the actual person in charge.
Now a new boss has been parachuted in, and he is not close to the new boss.
After talking for a while, Pazzini turned around and asked, "Bishop Crown, can you say a few words to everyone?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Crown shook his head: "No need, just give me the production order."
To put it bluntly, he, as a bishop, is just a workshop director.
Other bishops have a luxurious office, but he can only settle down in the forging workshop for now.
However, this was also his own request, because he needed a large amount of metal essence.
"Bishop Crown's enthusiasm for work is a role model for us," Palani handed over a list. "In three months, we will send out troops to clear the wild areas. Please ensure that the work is completed with quality and quantity."
He sneered in his heart. Even if it could not be completed, it would be a good thing. Their faction would have more reasons to prevent the other party from getting in touch with the core interest departments.
"I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."
Palani left slowly. Despite the good ventilation, the air here was still not as fresh as outside.
"Goodbye, I won't see you off," Crown responded calmly, checking the production work order himself.
In terms of extraordinary equipment, the workload of senior blacksmiths remains the same as before.
However, a large amount of low-level equipment needs to be forged to arm the Crusaders, which is actually a lot of work.
The current strength of the Crusaders is 10,000 people. Taking into account some of the original reserves, they still need to forge 12,000 one-handed swords and 6,000 iron-clad round shields.
Three thousand pieces of light armor, and a large number of crossbows and crossbow arrows.
There are now more than 500 blacksmiths and apprentices in the forging workshop. It will definitely not be completed in three months at the previous pace.
Crown smiled slightly. That was in the past. Now, these people needed to feel the shock of large-scale industrial production.
In the original forging process, the selection of ore and firing were done by apprentices.
In the remaining links, the processes of casting, forging, folding, heat treatment and fine processing are completed independently by each blacksmith.
Although he had never worked in a factory before the time travel, Crown understood the huge efficiency improvements brought about by assembly line production.
He couldn't automate the process, but he could save a lot of time by dividing the work among the blacksmiths.
A blacksmith only needs to be responsible for a certain process. As time goes by, the experience accumulated by the blacksmith in this process will become extremely rich, and his efficiency will naturally improve a lot.
"Everyone, disperse, Andrea, Blue, let's discuss our work for the next few months."
Crown brought two senior blacksmiths together and expressed his ideas.
Andrea shook his head and said softly, "Excuse me, Your Excellency. According to your method, it will no longer be possible to train high-level blacksmiths in the workshop."
This method confines people to one position. Blacksmiths cannot grow into senior blacksmiths unless they experience all the processes themselves.
He also wants to train a few senior blacksmiths and give them a decent retirement.
"That's something for later."
Klauen flicked the work order in his hand and handed it over.
"Let's finish the urgent work first. If we want to train high-level blacksmiths, we just need to keep changing the positions of those talented people."
He also shared some of his own ideas, such as how to store materials on the "production line" to reduce the movement of workers, how to form a closed loop, etc.
Afterwards, he became a hands-off boss, leaving it to Blue and the other two to worry about: "You two should study it carefully and come up with a practical plan.
We will continue to use the original profit distribution method and work hard. The higher the efficiency, the easier it will be for us. Otherwise, everyone will stay here to work overtime at night."
As long as he could purify the Golden Spirit Coins, he didn't care about the tiny profits here at all.
After Del arrives, he will hand over the trivial management to his confidants.
Crown stood up, pointed to a far corner and said, "Enclose that place with iron sheets. I'll use it as an office."
After saying that, he left alone and went to a corner to practice the Rhino Breathing Technique.
Strong strength is the foundation of his life, and he has always been very clear about this.
