Chapter 511 The Ministry of Magic

Everything

Just after the conversation between Norman and Lisa came to an end, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Following Norman's voice, the door opened, and a man in a khaki uniform walked in.

"Master Zhao."

After the man came in, he was the first to say hello to Norman. He used an ancient language, and his pronunciation was not bad.

This is exactly the face-faced man who once debated with Norman when Norman published "On Protracted War". The only difference is that now his exposed skin is also covered with patterns. .

"Wait a minute, Jianguo."

Norman stood up from the sofa and gave him instructions casually.

Well, this man's current name is Jianguo, Zhou Jianguo, and his original name was Worthington.

In the process of promoting the popularization of ancient Chinese, Norman has taken many measures, one of which is the popularization of ancient Chinese names.

Everyone in Xingxiu Sea, in addition to his common language name, also needs to take an ancient language name. In the various official activities of the people's government, the ancient language name is used as an accurate standard, and Zhou Jianguo is this Wo An archaic name for Mr. Hinton.

"Yes."

Zhou Jianguo's eyes swept over Lisa, a stranger, without staying for a long time, and then he answered yes, moved his footsteps, and was about to wait aside, but a sudden voice stopped his footsteps.

"Duke Jared!"

Lisa had already stood up from the sofa and was about to leave, but at this moment her whole body froze on the spot, looking at Zhou Jianguo in shock.

And that "Duke Jared" came from her mouth.

Duke Jared...

Norman's eyes narrowed.

He knew early on that Zhou Jianguo's identity was unusual, but he never asked about it, because he and the Knights Templar agreed that Zhou Jianguo's identity had been locked by them. It doesn't matter, so when Lisa shouted out, he finally knew what the background of his Minister of Commerce was.

Zhou Jianguo froze, but didn't stiffen. He quickly turned his head, looked at Lisa, and said with a smile, "Miss, I think you misidentified me. My name is Worthington Miller. I used to be A businessman, not what you call Duke Jared."

Lisa just looked at him, subconsciously shaking her head.

No, how could she be wrong?The other party was clearly the Grand Duke of Penkol who died for his country, Mr. Jared Pittshuaia!
The heroic deeds of Jared have been regarded by the Kingdom as the most important material for patriotic education. They have been spread and popularized everywhere, hoping to use the example of this hero to inspire people's patriotic enthusiasm and racial enthusiasm. Naturally, there are many portraits in these promotional materials , so Lisa could recognize Jared at a glance.

But isn't he dead?How could it appear here?And why is he unwilling to admit that he is Jared? ...

"Ugh!"

Norman sighed, attracting the attention of several people in the room.

He looked at Zhou Jianguo solemnly, "Miss Lisa is not an outsider, she is our close partner. Since Miss Lisa has recognized her, we don't have to hide it."

Then, he looked at Lisa again, with a sincere and serious expression, "Yes, he is Duke Jared, but you also know that he died for his country and would rather die than surrender, which really angered the Dragon Clan. Although I You saved him, but you couldn't let him walk in this world with his true identity. You can only let him change his identity again. I also hope that Miss Lisa, you will never use the name Jared to call him in the future. No, that's only going to get him into trouble, you might as well call him Worthington, that's his new name."

Only then did Lisa suddenly realize that everything was clear, and the eyes she looked at Norman shone even brighter, as if there were stars in them.

The human hero Duke Jared, whom everyone thought was dead, did not die, but was saved by Lord Saint. This is really exciting news, and it further proves Lord Saint's benevolence and greatness.And human heroes like Duke Jared are willing to work for Lord Saint, which shows that what Lord Saint is doing is indeed a great cause of human revival.

There was no longer any doubt in Lisa's mind.

"Yes, Mr. Worthington, hello."

Zhou Jianguo replied, "Hello." Then he fell silent, his eyes wandered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After this episode, Norman finally sent Lisa away, and then he turned around and came back, sat down behind the table, looked at Zhou Jianguo for a while, and suddenly said: "There is a shortage of materials for the construction of Xingxiu Sea. What is needed are some strategic materials, and I came here this time to discuss this matter."

"Although we have established some commercial channels, the range of materials we exchange is limited. It may be a bit difficult to purchase certain strategic materials, but Miss Lisa's appearance is a surprise. Her family is a big family of mankind. Aristocratic family, relying on her relationship, it will be easier for us to get those materials, so it is very necessary to establish a good relationship with Miss Lisa, so I followed her wishes and said what I just said, In order to establish a close relationship with her, I hope Jianguo understands."

The content of this paragraph is relatively complicated. In order to take care of Zhou Jianguo, Norman's words are half common and half archaic, so that he can understand.

After listening, Zhou Jianguo nodded, "Understood."

"Okay, since you have come first, let's start first, chatting and waiting for them..."

The two began to discuss the delivery of supplies in this way, and did not say a word about the topic of "Jared".

Norman was not interested in knowing how this supposedly dead human hero survived and how he got into Dempsey's team. Already know the truth about my identity...

In the past few months, Zhou Jianguo has already seen how wise this Lord Zhao is.His wisdom is as unfathomable as the sea, Zhou Jianguo certainly does not believe that he will fail to see his true identity.

But everyone tacitly let it go.

After the two chatted here for a while, the people who were summoned by Norman also arrived one by one. Everyone discussed in detail about the details in this room. Negotiate with all details.

After the meeting adjourned, Norman went to the restaurant on the first floor to have dinner, then left the House of Lords, took a walk along the pond, and walked to a new place after a while.

Here is also a house built along the pond, facing the House of Lords across the pond.

This is the Ministry of Magic.

Compared with the House of Lords, the Ministry of Magic is like a toad lying on its stomach. It occupies a larger area, but is much shorter in height, with only three floors.

Norman walked in, went straight to the left side of the first floor, and came to a door.

Even the Lord Norman's office has no guards, but there are two people standing in front of this door.

The bodies of these two people are all painted with patterns, and there are thin black knives hanging around their waists, without scabbards, so they can be easily hacked and killed at any time.The two of them just stood in front of this door, one on the other, motionless, like two sculptures. When they saw Norman coming forward with Atrimisia behind him, they raised their hands. I gave a military salute.

"Master Zhao!"

Norman nodded to them, and stood still in front of the door.

This door is different from ordinary doors. From the material point of view, it seems that gold is not gold, wood is not wood, and the door is carved with complicated patterns from head to toe.

Norman stretched out his right hand and pressed it towards the center of the door.

At the position where his palm fell, the pattern was cleverly avoided, leaving a palm-sized plane.

Norman just pressed his palm on it, and three seconds later, the patterns carved on the door suddenly emitted a faint blue light, and countless bands of light swam on the door.

Norman withdrew his hand, grabbed the doorknob and pushed it in. The door opened, and he walked in.Atrimisia followed behind him and closed the door behind him.

After entering, you can see that the room is very large, but it doesn't look empty, because there are things everywhere in the room, and the biggest thing is an object in the center of the room.

The thing is roughly in the shape of a wooden barrel, the whole body is made of metal, and the top is almost reaching the ceiling.

The whole body of this large metal wooden barrel is extremely flat, and there are countless metal pipes connected in all directions, spreading out in all directions.Looking along these metal pipes, it can be seen that some of the other ends of these metal pipes are connected to some weird objects in the room, and some extend directly towards the wall and disappear into the wall.

In addition to the metal vat in the center, there are many small objects scattered in the room, with different shapes and shapes, all kinds of strange things, and I don't know what they are for.The only living creature in the room other than Norman and Atrimisia was sitting on a cushion-shaped metal tray, and one side of the tray was connected with a metal tube and a metal vat.

And the living creature on the metal tray was Xiu.

He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged. He was meditating at first, but he seemed to sense Norman's arrival. When Atrimisia closed the door, his eyelids twitched, and he quickly returned from the meditative state. In the real world, I opened my eyes.

"You're finally here!"

Xiu couldn't wait to jump off the metal tray, and quickly walked towards Norman. On the way, he briskly passed several obstacles without touching the slightest bit, and his movements were graceful as if he was dancing.And if you look carefully, you can see some tattoo patterns on his wrists that are exposed from the robe from time to time, which is probably why he moves like a knight as a mage.

"The magic power is not enough!"

Xiu came to stand in front of Norman, with a bitter expression on his face, and began to cry: "Even if we from the Ministry of Magic work hard to meditate and practice here, the magic power extracted is not enough for daily use! You Let’s hurry up and build more pipelines to go out. Build every household and assign quotas to them. Whether they are mages or not, everyone must meditate every day! I have thought about the name, it’s called magic power tax! I count it all After that, there are so many people in Xingxiu Sea, as long as everyone pays the magic power tax on time, our magic power inventory will never be exhausted again!..."

Xiu's knowledge of ancient Chinese is obviously better than those people I, Norman, have come into contact with today.

Most of the people in Xingxiu Sea spoke common language mixed with ancient Chinese, but after Xiu finished such a long passage, he could basically reach half of ancient Chinese and common language, and his pronunciation was obviously much better than what he had a few months ago.

In just a few months, the three-star black-robed mage's level of ancient language has improved by leaps and bounds.

And Norman quietly listened to Xiu's old-fashioned crying, and secretly sighed.

He asked Xiu to be the Minister of Magic, on the one hand, because Xiu was the only mage at the time, and on the other hand, because Xiu was an orthodox mage, and he didn't have the temperament of a rascal, so he probably wouldn't bother him in the future, but he ignored it. Repair the storytelling skills shown at the beginning.

A guy with the talent of a storyteller may not be able to become a scoundrel, but he is very likely to become a chatterbox.

Just fix it.

"Didn't I tell you that there are not enough materials! Today I brought Zhou Jianguo and the others to discuss this matter in detail. There is another surprise. I believe that in a month at most, what we need The construction materials will be delivered one after another. I came here this time just to ask you to pick out a few mages to cooperate with the Ministry of Commerce. After all, these materials are no more than ordinary daily necessities. It may be a bit troublesome to bring them with you. A few mage insurance points."

"One month?"

Xiu murmured to himself, although he still felt a bit slow, but it was better than nothing, and finally he reluctantly accepted, and then he responded to Norman's request.

"Mages...Wang Zhiyuan, Zhang Muchuan, Shi Yuan, all of them are level 3 mages, and they have been with the army before, so they have experience."

Norman nodded, "Okay, two more."

Xiu seemed to be very distressed, reluctant to report again.

Norman had no choice but to continue to persuade: "If you don't pick two people out, the safety of the caravan will decrease, and the supplies may not be delivered. If the supplies are not delivered, the pipeline system that connects the whole city will be destroyed." If you can’t build it, then your magic power inventory will continue to dry up, so you have to take a long-term view.”

Xiu thought about it for this reason, he was reluctant to let the child not be caught by the wolf, finally gritted his teeth, and reported two more names, but felt a great pain in his heart: suddenly taking away such a few people, the next month will be even more difficult .

"Then hurry up and inform them. Time is precious. The first batch of caravans will leave tomorrow afternoon."

Norman ignored him, turned around after speaking, and looked at the metal vat in the middle of the room.

The name of that thing is Magic Hub, which is the version of Magic Pool 3.0.
