Start with an Archangel

A man wearing a smock to cover his appearance walked in. His attire was exactly the same as when Da Liang came yesterday. It is estimated that the prestige of Flea Street makes every outsider choose to be low-key when coming in.

After this person came in, he just glanced at Da Liang, then raised his hood and slowly looked at each model in the store without making any sound.

A guy with a noble and arrogant air.

There is no salary for the job, so Da Liang lazily steps forward to greet the customers who come in. Since the visitor was just looking at the model, Da Liang didn't move his buttocks and continued to sit there and read his book.

For a moment, a shadow covered the page.

""Fundamentals of Sloop Design"? Annotations by Guis. I didn't expect that Guis would not accept apprentices in his heyday, but instead taught apprentices after he had a brain problem? Is Guis here? I am a disciple of his old friend, Come see him for something.”

At some point, the customer with chestnut hair and an aristocratic face walked up to the counter and could tell what book Daliang was reading with just a glance.

He sounded arrogant, saying that he was a disciple of Gis's friend, but his words did not show the respect that a junior should have.

Daliang replied calmly: "He is not here. He will probably come back after noon. Who are you? If there is anything, I can tell him for you."

"If you give him this invitation, he will know who sent me here." The other party placed an invitation in front of Da Liang and said: "This is a very professional academic seminar, only master-level ship design Only divisions are eligible to participate. Giese cannot design a battleship now, but with his achievements long ago, he is still qualified to go and have a listen."

There is sarcasm hidden in the words, and there is a barb in every sentence.

They are definitely jealous of each other. The other party should be the disciple of a master ship designer.

Master-level ship designers are not a commonplace. In the entire Shangjiang City, excluding Master Giese, there is only one master-level ship designer, and that is Count Strong, the chief designer of the Pudong Fleet Shipyard.

According to the news I heard from Joyce yesterday, Count Strong should be from the same school as Master Guise, and both are disciples of Master Harold.

When Master Harold retired, Guise was at the height of his power, and Earl Strong, a fellow disciple of the first division, was suppressed and disappeared.

Later, Guise had a problem with his head, and Earl Strong was appointed as the chief designer of the Pudong Fleet Shipyard.

Now that Joyce is building battleships for the rebuilt Pudong fleet, Earl Strong's status has become more and more prominent, and Joyce has to politely call him "Master" when he sees him.

After guessing the identity of the person in front of him, Daliang put the invitation away and said: "I will pass it on to Master Gis. Does the guest have any other needs? The ship model made by Master Gis is really good. Yesterday I got it There was a very wealthy nobleman who bought a two-meter-tall model of the Conqueror, and he thought it was cheap for 5,000 gold."

The name of the Conqueror obviously stimulated this disciple of Count Strong. This battleship is also a top-notch battleship among the third-tier battleships. It is still an insurmountable peak for Count Strong.

Now Count Strong has taken on the task of designing a battleship for the Pudong Fleet. If he cannot design a battleship stronger than the Conqueror, then all the battleships he designs will be in the shadow of the Conqueror and become a foil.

Just like Earl Strong was in the shadow of Guise.

As a disciple of Count Strong, of course he was very disgusted with the Conqueror.

"In my eyes, everything here is rubbish. Only the nobles in the countryside who have never seen the world will buy a model to show off their appearance. Boy, you are as dull as Keith, even the scoundrels on the street It can be seen that I am a noble noble with status, and you... After I came in, you only had eyes for that book, and you could not see the disparity between my status and your status at all, so I advise you to leave here and follow Gis , you will only become stupider as you learn, without any future.”

Is this the legendary shot even while lying down? What does the conflict between you and Geese have to do with me? He is just doing his best to sell warship models, but you are talking about noble status with me.

"Noble? Which family are you from?"

"Pa" the other party slapped a noble badge on the counter in front of Da Liang.

Daliang took a look and saw that he was a baron, and then...

With a "pop" sound, Daliang slapped his viscount badge on the counter.

"You are right, there is a huge identity gap between us."

Daliang glanced at the opponent provocatively, and felt as happy as when the opponent made a bomb while playing cards, and his own bomb was just one level bigger than his.

Looking at the two badges on the table, the other party's expression immediately turned ugly.

Take a closer look and you will see that it is a viscount badge, not a fake.

The baron never expected that there would be a viscount working for him as a clerk in Guise. Judging from the style of the badge, he was a member of the direct aristocracy of the King of the East China Sea.

This scene is a bit embarrassing.

"Hello... Dear Viscount, hello. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Remember to close the door and don't make any noise that affects my reading."

"Yes, Lord Viscount."

The baron slowly withdrew, opened the door gently and walked out, then closed the door gently...

After seeing the person walking away, Daliang took out the invitation to see what was inside, but there was sealing wax and a seal on it. If he opened it, Jiese would definitely notice it.

However, the baron said that this was an invitation letter that only master ship designers could receive, and he was only an apprentice and could not even design junior ships, so this meeting had nothing to do with him.

And Geese may not go. After all, he has the title of master ship designer, but does not have the corresponding strength.

With Earl Strong and his disciples by his side, even if he went, he would be ridiculed.

After a customer who was not a customer came, Giese's ship model shop continued to become deserted until Giese walked in from outside at noon.

"Has anyone been here?" The undead are finally very sensitive to the breath of living creatures.

"Yes, mentor." Daliang took out the invitation, "A disciple who claims to be your friend sent this thing, saying that there is a ship design exchange meeting to invite you to participate."

"My friend, the ship designer, is Count Strong." Guise thought of who it was. He took the invitation, opened it, read it once, and put it away. Then he said to Daliang: "Let your archangel come in and look after the store. You come with me, and I will teach you how to draw a single-masted merchant ship."

Tutor, you are really too secretive. What do you think when Archangel buys a ship model?

However, Da Liang still obediently let Julian come in and stand behind the counter, and followed Geese into the backyard.

The backyard of Giese's ship model hut is a large ship model carving workshop. The ground is covered with wood chips and sawdust, and there are some semi-finished ship models lying around.
