Chapter 267: His Majesty Saint Bartholomew (200 monthly tickets plus more)
On this side, Luo Yi was choosing and spending money happily.
Over there, the Imperial Ambassador, Lord Robin Water, left quickly and came back even faster.
However, when he came back, he was no longer alone, and there was an old man with a white beard beside him.
The old man was thin but tall, with a thick beard that reached his chest. He was bald and had a hooked nose.
When he looked at people, he had a very scrutinizing gaze, his eyes were like searchlights, as if he wanted to scan the person thoroughly inside and out.
However, his gaze was also extremely aggressive, as if everyone he saw was a good person.
When he arrived, he ignored the imperial ambassador and waved his hand to ask all the mechanical apprentices to go aside.
He first touched the rifling that was turned, and then circled around the entire machine.
Old fingers stroked every lapis lazuli, every magic pattern, every gear, and every inch of metal.
Sometimes he nodded in agreement; sometimes he frowned and shook his head in silence; sometimes his eyes lit up, sometimes he was confused...
It seemed as if he was piecing together the various systems and components of the entire machine in his mind.
Until one moment, he suddenly looked at the group of machinist apprentices next to him and asked, "Who among you has the best skills?"
It was a very plain remark, but it nearly scared the apprentices to death. After hearing what he said, no one dared to step forward.
It was not until the white-bearded old man glanced at him impatiently that a mechanic apprentice came out tremblingly.
Under the sharp gaze of the white-bearded old man, he carefully operated the lathe.
Although there were some minor flaws and his forehead and face were covered in sweat, he finally managed to lathe the rifling of a steel pipe.
The old man watched with great interest. After figuring out how to operate it, he waved his hand and swept the person aside.
Then he started to do it himself.
Although he is an old man, his hands are very steady and strong.
Although the speed was very slow and methodical at the beginning, by the time I learned the second one, I had become more and more proficient and my speed was getting faster and faster.
Not until he had turned out the tenth steel pipe in a row did he finally straighten his back, carefully stroked the steel pipe in his hand, and the smile on his face grew wider and wider.
The Imperial Ambassador, Lord Robin Water, hurried forward and asked, "What do you think?"
“The concept is very advanced and the idea is unique, it is unique in the wizarding world.
Surprisingly, they've completely abandoned magic and used mechanical power to shape things. As long as the operator possesses magical power, they can carve any shape."
“Of course, there are many problems, such as the magic pattern system is too complicated, the mechanical stability needs to be improved, the accuracy is too poor, etc.
All of these need to be improved one by one.”
Lord Robin Water had a strange ear, so he only grasped the key point: "In other words, can it really replace most second- and third-level mechanical mages and turn out rifled gun and cannon barrels?"
The Whitebeard Mage finally nodded and said, "Yes! And, it can do even more..."
As he said this, he strode forward and arrived directly in front of Loy in front of Lord Robin Water's surprised gaze.
As soon as Luo Yi looked up, his eyes met the white-bearded old man's. Of course, he also saw the eye-catching pentagram formation on the other's robe, with four rings lit up.
That is the symbol of a fourth-level Scourge Mage, and also a rare mechanical mage.
Their eyes met, and just when Luo Yi was still a little confused, he spoke: "Are you Luo Yi Raymond, who studied at the Imperial Magic Academy?"
"Yeah! What's wrong?"
"Have you ever thought about furthering your studies, perhaps by becoming my disciple?"
"ha?"
This time, confusion turned into bewilderment. Luo Yi's eyes widened and he asked in disbelief, "You want to take me as your apprentice?
No, who are you? Do we know each other? "
A head appeared between the two men. It was none other than the Imperial Ambassador, Lord Robin Water.
He winked at Luo Yi repeatedly, but kept saying, "Count Luo Yi, let me introduce him to you.
The person in front of you is a special member of the Imperial Magicians Association, one of the founders of the Imperial Mechanical Association, recipient of the Imperial Iron Cross, honorary court mage, and non-staff member of the Royal Society.
The fourth-level peak natural disaster mechanical mage, His Majesty Saint Bartholomew."
"It's a long title?"
Luo Yi spoke lightly, but his expression had turned serious and he couldn't help but be serious.
Anyone who can be called "Your Majesty" is either a king or a fifth-level legendary professional.
This person's strength is obviously not enough, which means that he has made extremely amazing contributions or has an amazing identity.
If you think about it again, being able to put the word "holy" before your name is even more extraordinary.
Lord Robin Water added, "In fact, this cooperation with the Empire was also facilitated by Your Majesty.
I am responsible for communication and coordination, but the one who actually directs and arranges the work of the imperial personnel is His Majesty Bartholomew."
The old man with white beard raised his head high and said, "Now that you know my identity, are you willing to take me as your master?"
Luo Yi hesitated for only a second before refusing, "Your Majesty Bartholomew, I am honored to receive your attention, but I have already gone a long way in my career as a warrior.
If we change to the extraordinary path now, I am afraid it will be counterproductive and difficult to go far.
Besides, my magical talent is limited, and I have some self-awareness of it."
Having said that, Roy added: "However, if you want to find the creator of this magical machine, you should look for Lilia Lightninger.
I believe she would be happy to become your apprentice."
The old wizard with white beard shook his head and said, "I know that little girl. The magic pattern control system of this magic machine must have been designed by her, right?
She has some intelligence and a solid foundation of knowledge, but she's not qualified to be my apprentice, Bartholomew!"
Luo Yi's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "May I ask why Your Majesty wants to accept me as his disciple?"
The white-bearded old man stroked his beard and said, "The most amazing thing about this magical machine is the idea, the concept, and the design.
Being able to make magic machines achieve something that ordinary people, no, to be more precise, ordinary mage apprentices can only achieve at the second or third level, is truly remarkable."
He looked at Luo Yi and said, "Don't tell me this isn't your idea, your design?"
"really!"
Luo Yi did not deny it, but then said, "Actually, although this lathe is very useful, it can only process shafts, discs, sleeves, and other workpieces with rotating surfaces, and it cannot meet all needs.
So, in addition to lathes, there are milling machines, planers, boring machines, grinders and drilling machines.”
"These all have design drawings. If you want to see them, you can ask Lilia. She has them all."
The white-bearded old man's expression froze, his eyes narrowed suddenly, and he said, "Are you plotting against me?
I tell you, it’s impossible for me to accept a disciple so easily! "
"I know, I know, but it would be nice if you could give me some advice.
If we can help design the magic pattern route and simplify the control system, we will win!"
"You're right!"
Bartholomew nodded, turned around and left, a staff appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he raised his hand and pointed.
He cast a teleportation spell and he disappeared into it.
They say there is no rush, but they move really fast!
The Imperial Ambassador, Lord Robin Water, could not help but say: "My Lord Earl, you really don't know what you are rejecting?
This person has already agreed to take you in as his disciple, so why don't you just kneel down and worship him?"
"Speaking of which, I hinted so clearly just now, how come you didn't see it?"
Didn’t you see it?
Of course not, it's just purely inappropriate!
However, Luo Yi still wanted to establish this relationship, not only because of this person's identity, but also because he was a mechanical mage.
Lilia's abilities have actually been greatly enhanced. Although her talent for cultivation is a little lacking, she truly loves magical machinery.
But she is just one person after all, just a second-level mechanical mage. Before, she had Douglas Hill to help her with advice, but now, she can only fight alone.
It’s not that Luo Yi hasn’t thought about recruiting, but it’s okay to hire the lowest-level mechanical apprentice. He can’t afford a real magic mechanic.
So, he didn't even invite Douglas, let alone others.
The person in front of me was someone I just happened to meet. It would be best if he could provide some help to Lilia.
These were all little thoughts, and Roy naturally couldn't explain them to the imperial ambassador, so he directly picked up the catalog books and began to calculate the required gold tiers with Lord Robin Water.
To exchange what you need from the imperial treasury, merit is just a stepping stone. If you can't open that door, you can't buy these good things even if you have money.
However, once the door was knocked, Gentile was a must.
Of course, the price offered by the empire is very fair, and if you find a capable person, you can get certain discounts.
Lord Robin Water took the lead and gave Roy a 20% discount, so the total cost was 63,000 gold tyres.
It can be said that these treasures are not something that ordinary warriors can afford. Even the treasure of the Bloody Mary that Luo Yi got was not enough!
Of course, things are different now.
Roy said that discounts were natural, but that was a reward for the hard work of the Imperial Ambassador, Lord Robin Water.
Lord Robin Water couldn't refuse, so he accepted it!
And made it clear that there will definitely be a next time...
Next time, if Luo Yi wants something, you’re welcome.
Both parties reached an agreement in a happy atmosphere and were very satisfied!
Three more updates are here!
