Chapter 267 Chapter 265: Saint Bartholomew (200 monthly tickets plus more)

Here, 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, but there was an old man with a white beard beside him.

The old man was skinny 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, and 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, asking all the mechanical apprentices to go aside.

He first touched the rifling produced by the turning, and then walked around the entire machine in circles.

The old fingers stroked every lapis lazuli, every magic pattern, every gear, and every inch of metal.

Sometimes he nodded in approval; sometimes he frowned and shook his head without saying anything; sometimes his eyes lit up, and sometimes he was confused...

It seemed that 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 mechanic apprentices next to him and asked, "Who among you has the best skills?"

It was a very plain remark, but it almost scared the group of apprentices to death. After hearing what he said, no one dared to speak out.

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 operated the lathe carefully.

Although there were some minor flaws and his forehead and face were covered in sweat, he eventually managed to lathe the rifling of a steel pipe.

The old man watched with great interest. After he figured out how to operate it, he waved his hand and swept the person aside.

Then he started to do it himself.

Even though 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 got to 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 over and asked, "What do you think?"

“The concept is very advanced and the idea is unique, it is unique in the magic world.

Surprisingly, they directly put aside magic and used mechanical power to shape it. As long as the operator has magic power, he can carve various shapes."

“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.

These all need to be improved one by one.”

Lord Robin Water had strange ears. He only grasped the key points: "In other words, can it really replace most of the second- and third-level mechanical mages and turn out rifled barrels and cannon barrels?"

The Whitebeard Mage finally nodded and said, "Yes! And, it can do 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 raised his head, 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 lighting 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: "You are Luo Yi Raymond, and you studied at the Imperial School of Magic?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Have you ever thought about furthering your studies, like, becoming my disciple?"

"what?"

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, a recipient of the Imperial Iron Cross, an honorary court wizard, and a 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 become serious and he couldn't help but be serious.

The one who can be called "Your Majesty" is either a king or a fifth-level legendary professional.

This person's strength is obviously lacking, which means that he has made extremely amazing contributions or has an amazing identity.

If you think about it, the one who can put the word "Saint" in front of his 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 walked a long way as a warrior.

If we change to an extraordinary path now, I'm afraid we will get half the result with twice the effort and it will be 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 magic machine, you should look for Lilia Lightninger.

I am sure 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 energy machine must have been designed by her, right?

She has some spirituality and a solid foundation of knowledge, but she is not qualified to be my apprentice, Bartholomew!"

Luo Yi's eyes narrowed, and he said, "May I ask, why did Your Majesty accept me as your disciple?"

The white-bearded old man stroked his beard and said, "The most amazing thing about this magic machine is the idea, the concept, and the design.

It is amazing that the magic machine can achieve something that ordinary people, no, to be more precise, ordinary mage apprentices can do at the second or third level. "

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 he added: "Actually, although this lathe is very useful, it can only process shafts, discs, sleeves, and other workpieces with rotating surfaces, and 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 suddenly narrowed, 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 are right in saying that!"

Bartholomew nodded, turned around and walked away. A magic wand appeared out of thin air in his hand and he raised his hand and pointed.

He cast a teleportation spell and he disappeared directly into it.

They say there is no rush, but they are 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, why didn't you 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 didn’t think about recruiting, but the lowest-level mechanical apprentice would be fine, but a true magic mechanic was not something he could afford.

So, he didn't even invite Douglas, let alone others.

The person in front of me just happened to be there by myself. 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, after knocking on the door, 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 when Luo Yi got the treasure from the Bloody Mary, it was not enough!
Of course, things are different now.

Roy said that discounts were natural, but they were hard work fees for the Imperial Ambassador, Lord Robin Water.

Lord Robin Water couldn't refuse, so he accepted it!
And he 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!
