Master Tongtian

Chapter 369 Another great sage! (13)

early morning.

The study room of the Lord's Mansion.

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 in Raging Waves City?"

Rosen was startled and nodded: "Yes."

Hamilton's eyes widened and his face showed a hint of severity, like a bull preparing to charge.

"It's been so long, why don't you go to work in Raging Wave City?"

Rosen spread his hands and said, "I'm busy in my territory."

Hamilton was prepared.

"I've learned about the affairs of your territory. You were really busy some time ago. Haven't they been settled now? You've robbed the homes of so many wealthy people on the island, so you're not short of 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 work in Raging Wave City so that we can study the Great Floating City together!"

As a result, he waited and waited, and several months passed, but Rosen did not come to take office, and there was not even a letter. It was as if he had forgotten all his bragging.

He finally couldn't help it, so he came to ask questions.

Rosen was surprised. He didn't expect that the master would care about him so much.

Although it is wrong, I will definitely not go to Raging Wave City, at least not 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 Raging Wave City. The financial crisis is so serious, the public's anger is so high, and the Duke is even more worried. How can he still think about building a floating city?!"

Hamilton was suddenly speechless and his momentum was gone.

After a moment of silence, he vigorously scratched his few gray hair.

"Although I say that, the funding for the Magic Department has not been cut off."

Rosen nodded in agreement: "It's not broken, it's just cut. From the previous 3 million crowns a year, it has been cut to the current 300,000 crowns."

"To be honest, with this amount of money, let alone a large floating city, we can't even build a floating ship."

Hamilton became more and more embarrassed, with a trace of unconcealable irritation on his face.

"Although 300,000 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: "300,000 yuan is indeed enough to do a lot of things, but if you want to build a floating city, it is nothing more than a drop of water in a bucket."

"Besides, with the current situation in Raging Wave City, I'm afraid I won't have the time to do research when I go there. Instead of wasting time there, it's better to stay here on White Whale Island. At least it's a quiet place, right?"

Hamilton retorted speechlessly. After a long silence, he couldn't help but slap his thigh with a hateful expression on his face.

"It's all the fault of those despicable lords~ Those people are so rampant, they first assassinated the princess, then the duchess, and if they continue like this, they will all assassinate the duke!"

"If you ask me, I should be like you and send all those rebel lords to the guillotine one by one!"

Hearing this, Rosen felt that the Minister of Magic was really a pure science and engineering man who devoted himself to research.

Compared with those politicians who are as good as monkeys, his thoughts are as simple as Qing Shui's.

It would be impossible for such a person to concentrate on research in the chaotic city of Raging Waves.

Because of his huge reputation and stubborn temper, he is very likely to be exploited by careerists and become a knife in the hands of the opponent.

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

That would be such a pity.

So, Rosen started to think about recruiting.

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

Hamilton was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Rosen meant, so he praised him politely.

"The scenery is beautiful, the climate is comfortable, and the islanders are quite enthusiastic. Although it is not as prosperous as Raging Wave City, it is still pretty good."

Although he was being polite, he was telling the truth.

Rosen smiled: "Master, there is something else you haven't noticed."

"What?"

"Stay away from strife."

Rosen smiled and said: "My island is 80 meters away from the land, and it is surrounded by dense reefs, making it impossible for large ships to enter."

"No matter what happens to the Eastern Territory, even if it sets off a stormy sea, it will only be a few small waves if it reaches my island."

This is true.

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

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

"Huh?" Hamilton didn't understand.

Rosen said: "Although I can't build a large floating city for the time being, I have built a lot of small floating cars. If mainlanders want to come to me, they mainly rely on boats to cross the sea, so it's inconvenient."

"But when I go to the mainland, I rely on a hover car. Even if I travel all over the Eastern Territory, it only takes a few hours."

Hamilton's eyebrows moved and he fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he said: "You disclosed the divine iron core at the university meeting, and the gravity spell has matured. Currently, the entire Golden Land is researching the hover vehicle, and it will be developed soon."

"By then, your island will no longer be safe."

Rosen nodded in agreement.

"I admit that suspension vehicles will soon be everywhere in the Golden Land, but I can confidently say that the suspension vehicles I produce must be the best and fastest in the continent, and have the largest loading capacity."

"In addition, the flying magic weapons produced in our archipelago are also the most powerful. Of course others can invade my island with hover cars, but my flying magic weapons are not just decorations."

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

Hamilton thought about it carefully and found a loophole.

"The coastline of the archipelago is so long. It can be invaded at any point. You may not be able to stop it, right?"

Rosen pointed to a square magic weapon by the window.

"The mana wave detector, my newly developed magic weapon, can detect mana fluctuations of 30 meters 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 discovered in advance, and flying warriors can be dispatched to intercept it immediately."

This is the archipelago defense strategy he is deploying.

In this defense system, his aircraft has a huge technological gap compared to others. It is equivalent to a fifth-generation aircraft beating a first-generation aircraft, which is easier than a father beating his son.

Hamilton was startled and immediately stood up to study the mana wave detector.

He is a peak mage and a master of weapon refining. He understood the principle after just a little inspection and praised it repeatedly.

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

Rosen smiled and said: "Master, to be honest, with the current situation in Raging Waves City, you are simply wasting your time there and won't get anything done. Instead, you may get into trouble."

At this point, Hamilton still didn't understand Rosen's intention, so he pointed at Rosen and smiled bitterly.

"Okay~ I came to see you to perform my duties in Raging Waves City. You actually persuaded me to stay on the island."

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

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

"The Duke cultivated me carefully and showed great kindness to me. No matter what the circumstances, I will never betray him, especially not at this time."

When he said this, he looked determined and left no room for negotiation.

The will of the pinnacle archmage is stronger than steel, especially because Hamilton is a stubborn person. Regarding matters of principle, no matter how hard others try to persuade you, it will be in vain.

But Rosen had a way of circumventing the principle.

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

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

There was indeed a trace of emotion on Hamilton's face, but it quickly disappeared.

"Stop trying to persuade me. I won't come if I tell you I won't come!"

"If you don't become the Deputy Minister of Magic, there's nothing I can do about 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.

"Stop trying to persuade me, I will never agree."

Rosen was anxious and quickly stepped forward and took Hamilton's arm.

"Master, I still have something to say. When I finish, if you still have this idea, I promise not to say another word."

Naturally, Hamilton didn't mind hearing more: "Then what do you say?"

Rosen said softly: "Master, by staying on this island, you are not betraying the Duke. In other words, you are just serving the Duke in a different way."

"You fart!"

Hamilton was a little unhappy and glared at Rosen angrily.

"What do you mean, do you think of yourself as a duke?"

Rosen was not angry at all, he chuckled and said in the voice of his heart: "Master, of course I am not a duke, but I am the duke's son-in-law."

Hamilton was stunned: "What do you mean?"

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

"Yes, Lord."

The attendant went to find someone.

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

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

"Who is it?" Hamilton was very curious.

"You'll find out soon enough."

After a while, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Before Heyajiali arrived, her voice came first: "Brother, what do you want from me?"

As soon as he heard this voice, Hamilton's expression changed.

"Your Highness?!"

He was very familiar with Heya Jiali's voice, because he had been Heya Jiali's spell instructor. Even after she became a teacher, Heya Jiali often came to him to ask questions.

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

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

"Brother, Lord, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had a guest?"

Hamilton was also shocked. He stared at Heya Jiali, and naturally saw the magic illusion clearly.

"Your Highness, are you still alive?!"

After asking, without waiting for an answer, Hamilton immediately turned to look at Rosen.

"Earl, what's going on?"

Rosen briefly told the whole story, 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 doesn't know much about this, but the Duchess knows it completely, and has tacitly allowed me to develop on the island and accumulate strength to support Raging Waves City at critical moments."

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

No words were spoken for a long time.

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

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

Rosen briefly explained the matter to Heya Jiali.

Heya Jiali immediately followed suit.

"Master, please stay. This island has the most advanced magic knowledge in the Golden Land, and we will really do our best to build a large floating city."

"I can boldly assert that if a large floating city really appears in the Golden Land, it must have taken off from the Feiyu Islands!"

After saying this, Hamilton's knot in his heart was completely gone.

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

Rosen said: "Master, I will give you a bottle of medicine. After you drink it, you will look very weak, as if you have a serious illness."

"When the time comes, just say that you are unwell and unable to study, so as not to break the Duke's heart."

This potion is naturally Vivian's masterpiece.

Hamilton nodded repeatedly: "The Earl is still thoughtful, so let's do it."

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

"all!"

"Everything I do is for the Great Floating City, including talents, resources, the current 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 suddenly had great confidence in the success of the Great Floating City.

"Where's the potion? Give me the potion quickly! I'll resign right away!"

"Then I will immediately set up the Great Floating City Research Bureau, and you will be the first director when you arrive. At that time, you will be able to choose the talents on the island, as well as the talents who will defect to us in the future."

Hamilton laughed.

"Then I will move my whole family here. By the way, I also have a large number of reliable weapon-making apprentices, more than two hundred of them. Will the Earl accept them too?"

Rosen smiled: "Since you are the master's apprentice, you must be an outstanding person with outstanding character and talent. I will take as much as you want!"

Hamilton was so happy that he burst into laughter.

"Haha, Earl is really happy."

The two of them said goodbye to Heya Jiali and asked Vivian to get medicine.

On the way, Rosen couldn't help but ask: "Master, don't you want to make steam magic weapons?"

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

"I originally wanted to do it, but I heard someone said that you teamed up with Master Sophia and Master Thrandis to come up with Othello's technique, pushing logic magic to the master level."

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

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

Hamilton spread his hands.

"Although the efficiency is low, there is an endless mana core, so it doesn't matter if you waste some mana. Furthermore, if it is not solved now, it does not mean that it will not be solved in the future."

This is true, but not entirely true.

"Actually, the endless mana core also has shortcomings. The biggest shortcoming is that the upper limit of power is still too low. Pushing a flying magic weapon is enough, but lifting a floating city is far from enough."

The power to attract sunlight is still too weak, and the spell is also defective. It is five or six orders of magnitude short of the total amount of power required by the large floating city.

But on this point, Rosen is still quite optimistic.

"But as long as enough resources are invested, it should be able to be solved."

Hamilton nodded in agreement: "Yes. The development potential of your path is much greater than that of my steam magic weapon."

Speaking of this, he suddenly exclaimed: "You married a wife in the north. Can the Duke agree to marry you a princess?"

This princess is the Duke's only daughter!

Rosen shrugged: "Maybe the Duke recognized my ability. In short, the matter is done."

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

"Okay, you are awesome!"

Soon, the two got the ‘Vivian’s serious illness potion’.

Hamilton couldn't wait to return to Raging City and resign.

Before leaving, his brain, which had been coaxed by Rosen, had calmed down a lot. After careful consideration, he made a reliable promise.

"Earl, although I really want to come here tomorrow, my position involves a lot of work, and the situation has been chaotic recently. I estimate that it will take more than half a month to come over."

Rosen nodded: "I will make all preparations. In addition, the princess's affairs must be kept secret."

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

Hamilton turned and walked away.

After he left, Rosen also quickly wrote the construction book for the Great Floating City Research Bureau. After he finished writing, he called Master Hal and asked for the construction book to be handed over.

"Ask the construction mage to add some processing and construction. It will be completed within half a month. The salary will be doubled."

When Hal heard this, he immediately confirmed: "No problem."

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

Then, Rosen continued to prepare the Merchants trade list.

After that, I spent another half day preparing the trading samples, and in the afternoon of the next day, I got on the plane and rushed to the islands that day.

If you are interested in the new book for book friends, you can take a look.
