The actions of this construction team shocked Herrera and frightened his men.
They originally thought that these workers were dressed neatly and secretly laughed at them for not working, but now after seeing them start working, none of them dared to say a word. They were originally just watching the fun, but now they have all quieted down, even with some fear in their hearts. Everyone can imagine that a force with such terrifying strength and using mages as craftsmen is absolutely terrifying.
The workers worked very quickly and had set up the frame by noon. By evening, the shape of the shed had taken shape.
Heres was not idle, and led his men to do some odd jobs. After spending some time with these magic workers, he found that they did not have the arrogance of a wizard, on the contrary, many of them were kind. The worries and tensions in his and his men's hearts were gradually eliminated, and by the afternoon, they were able to cooperate well.
After all, Herrez was a well-informed person. In the process of communicating with these people, he gradually found that these people did not look like mages from the Mage Tower at all. They were more like craftsmen who had learned magic for some reason. He recalled what Lucid had said to him in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Lucid was an experienced construction manager. By the evening of the second day, all the construction had been completed. Two tall buildings covered the two larger shipbuilding locations of the original dock. The outer wall was also further reinforced, and it was a bit like a small fortress.
At noon on the third day, two large three-masted sailing ships came from the sea level. Herrez recognized at a glance that these two ships belonged to the nearby White Wave City. They were the two largest warships in the White Wave City fleet. These two ships were sister ships, one named Holy Sword and the other named Holy Shield, which belonged directly to the Lord of White Wave City. These two ships were not only the largest and strongest ships in White Wave City, but also the most powerful warships in the entire southern city-state. Herrez believed that the Lord of White Wave City would never sell them. However, he could also determine that those who rented his shipyard did not belong to White Wave City. It was very strange that these two ships appeared here.
As the ship slowly approached, Herez saw a man who looked like a wizard standing on the bow of the Holy Sword.
Crete, who was waiting on the shore to greet him, immediately saluted when he saw this person, and the other party just nodded. Heres knew that the person who could make a high-level wizard so respectful must be very extraordinary.
Crete asked Jerez to open the gates in the dock and fill it with water, and then let the two ships enter the dock.
Jerez arranged the berths, pumped out the seawater in the dock, and let the two warships appear in the dock. He couldn't help but feel a little excited. As the owner of a shipyard, one of his ideals was to be able to build beauties like the Holy Sword and the Holy Shield. They were slender, with beautiful curves, made of very sophisticated materials, and the most cutting-edge design.
A shipyard that can build a ship like this is a first-class shipyard on the mainland.
Just as Herrez was admiring the ship with envy, the wizard at the bow floated down and landed next to him and Crete.
Crete said quickly: "Chairman Xiao."
The person who came was Xiao Chen. He looked up at the roof of the dock, patted Crete on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Crete. It's not easy for you to secretly find such a place in Shuangfan City. But we have to hurry up. It's not easy to hide such a thing from the eyes of various forces. What we have to do is to be one step ahead and go to sea before they figure out the situation, so as to get rid of their interference."
Crete said, "I found this Mr. Herrez. He has a pretty good team of craftsmen. With our people, we should be able to finish the job quickly."
"Sir! We will do our best to complete what you want to do." Hertz did not dare to be negligent and bowed his head in salute in front of Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen simply returned the greeting and said, "Mr. Herrez, I think Crete has made some promises to you. Please believe me, as long as you work hard, those will be fulfilled."
"Of course, sir! I just don't know what you need to do. These two ships can be described as perfect. With the level of my craftsmen, there is probably not much they can do."
Xiao Chen said: "Perfect? No, no, no, it's still far from it.
I have asked experts to design the overall transformation of the two ships. You don't need to take over many of the specific tasks directly. You just need to give some reference opinions based on your shipbuilding and sailing experience. After all, you are the ones who have fought hard in the waves. "
"So what exactly are you going to do?"
"First, we need to reinforce the hull. From the keel to the hull, we need to use magic runes to strengthen it. The exterior needs to be covered with magic alloys, and the mast needs to be reinforced with high-strength materials. In addition, we need to install enough shield generators and some special little things on it. You may not understand these, but as long as the people who assist us put them in the most appropriate positions, it will be fine."
Herrez was stunned. "Sir, please forgive me for being blunt. In terms of sturdiness, these two ships must be among the top ten ships in the southern city-state. They were built according to the standards of warships, and they are still very new..."
"But what if they were to sail into the raging sea?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Crazy... Raging Sea?" Herrez swore that the madman who wanted to sail into the Raging Sea had not appeared for hundreds of years.
"Yes, do you still think these measures are excessive?"
"I think you are right." Hertz suppressed his surprise and answered in a deep voice.
Xiao Chen continued, "Some unnecessary facilities on the ship need to be removed, and the counterweight needs to be recalculated. In addition, the ship's paint job needs to be redone. From now on, these two ships will be called Hou Yi and Xing Tian."
Of course, Herrez didn't know the story of Houyi shooting down nine suns and Xingtian dancing with the Ganqi, but Crete had learned it. He could see the determination of Xiao Chen and the others from these two names.
However, Herrera hesitated and said, "Sir, one thing..."
"Just say what you want to say."
"Yes, these two ships are very famous throughout the Xingyue Peninsula and the Pearl Islands. Their appearance is very distinctive. If they change their paint just to cover up their origins, I'm afraid it won't have a good effect."
"It's all right. The owner of the boat sold it to me voluntarily."
"The Lord of Bailang City is actually willing to sell it?" Herez asked in surprise.
"Yes, you don't know yet. The Light Assassin died in White Wave City. This is the price for the two ships." (To be continued)
