Celestial Mage

Chapter 369 Another great sage! (13)

early morning.

Lord's House Study.

After Sir Hamilton entered the room, he sat down on the leather chair and looked at Rosen suspiciously: "Didn't you become the Deputy Minister of Magic of Raging Waves City?"

Rosen was startled, and nodded: "Yes."

Hamilton stared, and his face showed a trace of sternness, like a bull preparing to charge.

"It's been so long, why don't you go to Rage City to take up a job?"

Rosen spread his hands: "My territory is busy."

Hamilton had been prepared for a long time.

"I've learned about the matter of your territory. I was really busy a while ago. Isn't it all settled now? You have copied so many powerful homes on the island, so you don't lack money, right?"

Rosen scratched his head: "Master, have you been paying attention to me?"

Hamilton nodded: "Of course I pay attention to you. I have been waiting for you to come to Rage City to work together, so that we can study the Great Floating Void City together!"

As a result, he waited and waited, several months passed, but he didn't see Rosen come to take office, not even a letter, as if he had forgotten his bragging.

He finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he came to the door to inquire about the crime.

Rosen was surprised, he didn't expect the master to be so concerned.

Although it's unreasonable, he definitely won't go to Raging Waves City, at least not right now.

His territory is not on the right track yet.

So, he spread his hands helplessly.

"Master, it's not like you don't know the situation in Rage City. The financial crisis is so severe, the people's anger is so high, and the Duke is in a state of desperation. How can you even think about building a big floating city?!"

Hamilton suddenly had nothing to say, and his momentum disappeared.

After a moment of silence, he scratched his gray hair, which was not much at all.

"Even so, the funding for the Magic Department has never been cut off."

Rosen nodded in agreement: "It's not broken, it's cut. From the previous 300 million crowns a year, it has been cut to the current 30 crowns."

"Let's be honest, with this little money, let alone a big floating city, you can't even build a floating ship."

Hamilton became more and more embarrassed, with an unconcealable irritability on his face.

"Although 30 crowns is not much, it is enough to do a lot of things. As long as the Duke gets over this wave, the situation will get better."

Rosen shook his head: "30 is indeed enough to do a lot of things, but if you want to do a big floating city, it's nothing like a drop of water in a bucket."

"Also, with the current situation in Raging Waves City, I'm afraid I don't have the heart to do research when I go there. Instead of wasting time there, it's better to stay here on Moby Whale Island. At least it's a quiet place, isn't it?"

Hamilton was speechless to refute. After a long silence, he couldn't help but slapped his thigh with a resentful expression on his face.

"It's all caused by those despicable lords~ Those people are so rampant. First assassinate the princess, then the duchess, and if this continues, I'm afraid they will all assassinate the Duke!"

"If you want me to say, I should be like you, sending all those rebel lords to the guillotine one by one!"

Hearing this, Rosen felt that the minister of magic arts was really a man of pure science and technology who devoted himself to research.

Compared with those politicians who are monkey spirits and monkey spirits, his mind is as simple as Qing Shui.

It is impossible for such a person to focus on research while staying in the chaotic Raging Waves City.

Because of his huge prestige and stubborn temper, he is very likely to be used by ambitious people and become a knife in the opponent's hand.

If you are not careful, you will be ruined in the political struggle.

That would be such a pity.

So, Rosen thought of recruiting.

"Master, what do you think of my island?"

Hamilton was stunned for a moment, not understanding Rosen's meaning for a while, so he complimented politely.

"The scenery is beautiful, the climate is comfortable, and the islanders are quite enthusiastic. Although it is not as prosperous as Raging Waves City, it is not bad."

Although it is polite, it is also true.

Rosen smiled: "Master, there is one more thing you haven't noticed."

"what?"

"Stay away from disputes."

Rosen smiled and said, "My island is 80 meters away from the land, and there are dense reefs all around, so big ships can't get in."

"No matter what happens in the East Territory, even if there is a turbulent wave and it spreads to my island, it's just a small wave."

This is true.

Hamilton nodded: "This is probably the biggest advantage of remoteness."

Rosen shook his head again: "Master, is my island really remote?"

"Huh?" Hamilton didn't understand.

Luo Sen said: "Although I can't build a large floating city for the time being, I have built a lot of small floating vehicles. Mainlanders want to come to me, mainly by boat across the sea, so it is inconvenient."

"But when I went to the mainland, I relied on a suspension vehicle. Even if I traveled all over the eastern border, it would only take a few hours."

Hamilton frowned, lost in thought.

After a long time, he said: "You revealed the core of the god iron at the university meeting, and the gravitational spell has matured. At present, the entire Golden Land is researching the levitation vehicle, and it will be researched soon."

"At that time, your island will not be safe."

Rosen nodded in agreement.

"I admit that suspension vehicles will soon spread all over the golden land, but I can confidently say that the suspension vehicles I produce must be the best and fastest in the whole continent, with the largest loading capacity."

"In addition, the flying magic weapon produced in my archipelago is also the most powerful. Of course, others can invade my island with a hover vehicle, but my flying magic weapon is not a decoration."

"If you really want to fight in the air, I'm afraid I will beat you down as many times as you come."

Hamilton thought about it carefully and found a loophole.

"The coastline of the archipelago is so long, you can invade at any point, you may not be able to stop it?"

Rosen pointed to a square magic weapon by the window.

"The Mana Wave Detector, my newly developed instrument, can detect 30 Lam mana fluctuations, with extremely high sensitivity."

"I will arrange this thing several times along the coastline, and send people to guard it day and night, and work closely with the flying army."

"Once someone invades, the direction of the invasion can be found in advance, and flying fighters can be dispatched to intercept it immediately."

This is the island defense strategy he is deploying.

In this defense system, his aircraft has a huge technical gap with others, which is equivalent to a fifth-generation aircraft beating a first-generation aircraft, and it is easier than a father beating a son.

Hamilton was taken aback, and immediately got up to study the mana wave detector.

He is a peak archmage and a master craftsman, and he understood the principle after a little inspection, and praised him repeatedly.

"Good thing~ Really good thing~ With this thing and your flying magic weapon, the islands are indeed not afraid of invasion."

Rosen said with a smile: "Master, to be honest, with the current situation in Raging Waves City, you are simply wasting time there. You won't be able to get anything out, and you may cause a whole lot of trouble instead."

Having said so much, Hamilton still didn't understand Rosen's intentions, and pointed at Rosen with a wry smile.

"Okay~ I've come to find you to perform duties in Raging Waves City. You're so kind, you actually persuaded me to stay on the island."

Rosen spread his hands: "Master, am I wrong?"

Hamilton shook his head and sighed lightly: "You are right, but it is impossible for me to stay on the island."

"The duke carefully cultivated me and treated me with great kindness. No matter what the situation, I would never betray him, especially at this time."

When he said this, he had a firm face, and there was no room for negotiation.

And the will of the peak archmage is stronger than steel, especially Hamilton is still a stubborn person.For matters of principle, it is futile to persuade others.

But Rosen has a way of circumventing the principle.

He smiled slightly: "Master, I plan to set up a large floating city research bureau. In the future, all resources, all magical achievements, and all talents of my island will be inclined to this research department."

"But this research bureau still needs a real master to sit in charge, and I think you are very suitable, master."

Sure enough, there was a hint of emotion on Hamilton's face, but it disappeared quickly.

"Don't persuade me, I won't come if I said I won't come!"

"If you don't become the Deputy Minister of Magic, I can't help it. Don't try to persuade me anymore. I'm leaving!"

He waved his hand and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Rosen shouted quickly.

"Don't persuade me, I will never agree."

Rosen felt anxious, and quickly stepped forward and grabbed Hamilton's arm.

"Master, I still haven't finished my sentence. When I finish, if you still have this idea, I promise not to say one more sentence."

Hamilton naturally didn't mind listening to one more sentence: "Then tell me."

Rosen said softly: "Master, you are not betraying the Duke by staying on this island, or you can say that you are just serving the Duke in a different way."

"You fart!"

Hamilton was a little unhappy, and gave Rosen an annoyed look.

"According to what you mean, you consider yourself a duke?"

Rosen was not angry at all, he laughed, and said with the voice of his heart: "Master, I am naturally not the Duke, but I am the Duke's son-in-law."

Hamilton was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Rosen ordered the attendant at the door with his heart's voice: "Go and call Madam over, and tell her that I have something important to discuss with her."

"Yes, lord."

The servant went to find someone.

Rosen smiled and said, "Master, I want you to meet someone."

While speaking, a powerful barrier of silence was released in advance.

"Who is it?" Hamilton was very curious.

"You'll soon find out."

After a while, there were footsteps outside the door.

Before Heya Jiali arrived, the voice came first: "Brother, what do you want me for?"

Hearing this voice, Hamilton's expression changed.

"Your Highness?!"

He is very familiar with Heya Jiali's voice, because he used to be Heya Jiali's spell instructor. Even after he left the teacher, Heya Jiali often asked him for advice.

After hearing the news of Heya Jiali's assassination, he was still sad for a while.

The door was pushed open, and Heya Jiali came in. When she saw Hamilton, she was startled, and her face turned red.

"Brother and lord, why didn't you say you have guests earlier."

Hamilton was also taken aback. He stared at Heya Jiali, and naturally saw the magic phantom clearly at once.

"Your Highness, are you still alive?!"

Without waiting for an answer after asking, Hamilton immediately turned to look at Rosen.

"Count, what's going on here?"

Rosen briefly explained the whole story, and then put his arms around Heya Jiali's slender waist: "In short, Jiali is my wife, and I am the Duke's son-in-law."

"The Duke is not very clear about this, but the Duchess is fully aware of it, and she acquiesced in my development on the island, accumulating strength, so as to support Rage City at critical moments."

Hamilton's eyes widened: "This, this, this."

I haven't spoken for a long time.

To be honest, the person who cultivated him back then was actually the duchess, not the duke, so he was really grateful to the duchess.

Now that the Duchess had acquiesced in the matter, he had nothing to say.

Rosen briefly explained the matter to Heya Jiali.

He Yajiali immediately persuaded her.

"Master, you can stay here. This island has the most advanced magic knowledge in the whole golden land, and we will really do our best to build a big floating city."

"I can boldly assert that if there is a floating city in the Golden Land, it must have been launched from the Flying Fish Islands!"

In this way, Hamilton's knot is completely gone.

He was already very moved by Rosen's persuasion, but now that he saw the princess again, he immediately said, "Then I'll go back and find the Duke to resign."

Rosen said: "Master, I will give you a bottle of medicine. After drinking it, you will become very weak on the outside, as if you have a serious illness."

"At that time, you can say that you are unwell and unable to study, so as not to hurt the Duke's heart."

This potion is naturally Vivian's masterpiece.

Hamilton nodded again and again: "The Earl is still considerate, so let's do this."

Once the decision was made, Hamilton went straight to the point: "Count, how much resources do you plan to invest in the research of the Great Floating Void City?"

"all!"

"Everything I do is for the Great Floating Void City, talents, resources, the existing assets of tens of millions of crowns, and all the money I will make in the future."

Hamilton was satisfied: "Hahaha~ This is much more decisive than the Duke!"

He immediately had great confidence in the success of the Great Floating Void City.

"Where's the potion? Give me the potion quickly! I'm going to resign right away!"

"Then I will also immediately form the Research Bureau of the Great Floating Void City. You will be the first director when you come. At that time, the talents on the island and the talents who will defect to you in the future. You can choose."

Hamilton laughed.

"Then I'll move my whole family here. By the way, I still have a large number of reliable crafting apprentices. There must be more than 200. Will the Earl accept it?"

Rosen smiled: "Since he is an apprentice of the master, he must be an outstanding talent with excellent character and ability. I want as many as I want!"

Hamilton was overjoyed by the praise, and burst out laughing.

"Haha, the earl is really happy."

The two bid farewell to He Yajiali and went to Vivian to get medicine.

On the way, Rosen couldn't help asking: "Master, you don't want to make steam magic tools anymore?"

As soon as he said this, Hamilton let out a long sigh.

"I originally wanted to do it, but I heard people say that you teamed up with Master Sophia and Master Serrandis to create the Othello technique, pushing logic spells to the master level."

"At that time, I felt that the steam magic weapon had no future, hey~~~"

Rosen laughed: "But the efficiency of the gravitational spell has not been solved yet, and the efficiency of the master's spell has also dropped to one-third."

Hamilton spread his hands.

"Although the efficiency is low, but there are endless mana cores, it's okay to waste some mana. Besides, if it's not solved now, it doesn't mean it won't be solved in the future."

This is true, but not entirely true.

"Actually, the endless mana core also has shortcomings. The biggest disadvantage is that the upper limit of power is still too low. It is enough to push a flying magic weapon, but it is far from enough to lift a floating city."

The power of attracting sunlight is still too weak, and the spell is also flawed, which is five or six orders of magnitude short of the total power required by the Great Floating Void City.

But on this point, Rosen is quite optimistic.

"But as long as enough resources are invested, it should be resolved."

Hamilton nodded in agreement: "That's right. The development potential of your path is much, much greater than that of my steam magic weapon."

Speaking of this, he suddenly gasped: "You married a wife in the northern border, can the duke promise you to marry the princess?"

This princess is the only daughter of the Duke!
Rosen shrugged: "Probably the Duke recognizes my ability. In short, the matter is over."

Hamilton still finds it incredible, but he doesn't care much about these mundane things.

"Okay, you're amazing!"

Soon, the two got the 'Vivian's Serious Illness Potion'.

Hamilton couldn't wait and went back to Raging City to resign.

Before leaving, his mind, which was so hot with Rosen, had calmed down a lot. After careful consideration, he made a reliable promise.

"Count, although I really want to come here tomorrow, but my position involves a lot, and the situation has been chaotic recently, I guess it will take half a month to come here."

Rosen nodded: "I will make all the preparations. In addition, the matter of the princess must be kept secret."

"I understand. I promise not to let a third person know."

Hamilton turned and left.

After he left, Rosen also quickly wrote the construction book for the Research Bureau of the Floating Void City. After finishing writing, he called Master Hal and asked for the construction book to pass over.

"Let the construction mage process and add some ground to build, and it will be completed within half a month. The salary will be doubled."

As soon as Hal heard it, he immediately reassured: "No problem."

As long as you have enough money, you can do whatever you want.

Then, Rosen continued to prepare the sea murloc trade list.

After that, it took another half a day to prepare samples for trading, and waited until the next afternoon to board the plane and rush to the islands and reefs of the day.

　Book friend's new book, if you are interested, you can take a look.
