In the next few days, Fang was testing the maneuverability of the 'Wasp-i'. For the first time, the Parral people were still shouting loudly: "You mean this thing is called a 'Wasp', but it is obviously
"Silver." Then this person was locked in the utility room with a dark face, looking for an excuse.
However, although he has no talent in choosing the name, the design itself is very good. The flying speed of 'Wasp-i' is more than 50% faster than that of ordinary clockwork goblins, and its dexterity is comparable. The only drawback is that the difficulty of control is doubled.
The computing power requirements shown on the panel are the same.
But perhaps because of his role as a designer, Fang accepted it without any hindrance, and soon he was able to control it like an arm. In the following days, everyone could see the silver shuttle shuttle in various rooms on the platform, like a
Like a silver stream of light.
'Wasp-i' is still a derivative model of the Clockwork Fairy, but it is indeed something that did not exist in the past. It is actually a type of alien Clockwork Fairy, a new type of alien body, but there is nothing surprising about it.
.Alchemists are craftsmen and authors. As Fang understands, there are new flexible structures, variants and even categories being born in this world all the time, but most of them will soon disappear in the long river of history.
.
Unless he really produces a classic model that is accepted by the public and leaves a name in history, it can be regarded as his first entry into the world of masters. As he saw in the Tansnier Craftsmen Guild
Those collections, and the people who left them in history, have more than just one work.
Fang never dreamed of reaching the sky in one step, but he still had to find time to register his drawings with the Tansnier Craftsmen Association.
He went out alone. After getting out of the animal pen, he took a rail carriage and went to the gate of the Craftsmen's Association. He passed through the gate and entered the floating hall on the first floor of the Tansnier Craftsmen's Association amid a flash of white light.
middle.
The first floor of the hall is covered with a thick patterned carpet, extending behind an arched counter, which is the external office of the Craftsmen Association. Behind the counter, there is a dark-skinned girl with a pair of pigtails, holding her hands.
He is holding a thick big book, with a pair of mismatched glasses on the bridge of his nose, and is reading carefully while comparing it with a notebook.
When Fang came closer, the other party raised his head when he heard footsteps. His emerald eyes showed a hint of surprise when he saw him. She recognized that Fang Lai had actually passed by Kou Kou after that 'glorious deed' not long ago.
According to legend, there are very few people here who don't know this 'character' who made their president's lady cry.
She couldn't help but laugh, closed the book in her hand, and asked with a voice like a silver bell:
"Mr. Ed is here again, is he still looking for President Elna?"
Fang stood still in front of the counter, shook his head, and replied: "I'll do something, Camilla."
Camilla is exactly the name of this little girl.
Camilla was a little surprised: "Hey, what's wrong with Mr. Ed?"
"I designed some small things and want to enter the design drawings."
Hearing this, Camilla was not surprised. Alchemists always like to design some weird little things, although most of them are useless. The guild has no threshold for entry. The communication crystal is connected to the Grand Master.
After the difference engine is checked for duplication, it can be included in the database as long as there is no duplicate design.
There are probably thousands of drawings recorded every day by craftsmen's associations in various places. To put it bluntly, most of them are waste paper. After being entered, almost no one will care about it. But there is no guarantee that there will not be a time when it shines. It is not unheard of in history.
Such a precedent.
"Did Mr. Ed bring the design?"
Fang nodded, he was no newbie in this area.
Taking out the drawings, the little girl checked them over by herself. Of course she couldn't decide anything, so she only praised her carefully: "Mr. Ed's drawings are really good. Apart from Ms. Erna, I have never seen such meticulous and compliant work."
The design drawings are exactly the same as the standards mentioned in the book."
As Camilla spoke, she opened the drawer, took out a few potions, and murmured: "Purple flowers, basilisk horn powder, No. 12 magic solution... No. 12, No. 12... It's disgusting, these people are using it again."
The label is lost..." She raised her head and gave Fang an apologetic look:
"Mr. Ed, please wait a moment, I'm looking for something."
Fang was very embarrassed to praise him before, but now he just smiled and nodded.
The little girl rummaged through the cabinets for a while before finally finding a spare magic solution: "Okay!" Camilla clapped her hands and made a sound of completion, and then mixed these things together in a glass vessel.
There was a gurgling sound in the alchemy cauldron, and the final mixed solution revealed a transparent and charming purple color.
She picked up the solution and carefully poured it on Fang's stack of drawings. At the same time, the other party explained: "Mr. Ed, this is the magic smell guide. It can 'distinguish' the magic ink, and then we can use the crystal to scan it."
, you can convert the information of the drawing into magic information and record it in the crystal."
Fang nodded, watching this scene with some curiosity.
In fact, he had heard about the process of entering drawings before, but this was the first time he saw the actual operation, so he did not feel bored, but rather enjoyed watching it.
After Camila carefully soaked the drawings with the solution bit by bit, she opened the cover of the machine covered with copper pipes. Underneath was a dark marble slab with a Tansnier Craftsman Association logo etched on it.
emblem and traced with gold edge.
She turned around, raised the two corners of the drawings with both hands, and immediately picked up one of the drawings from the stack of design drawings. Strangely speaking, the wet drawings not only did not stick together, but actually stuck together very smoothly.
Separate.
Camilla saw this scene and explained: "Mr. Ed, the aster flower powder in the olfactory guide has the effect of smoothing the surface."
Fang nodded.
At first, craftsmen used manual copying to enter drawings, but manual copying was inefficient and error-prone. Later, they gradually switched to mechanical copying. It was not until the beginning of this century that the method of entering magic scent agents and magic information came into being and quickly became popular.
Replaced traditional technology.
However, no alchemical technology is perfect from the beginning. The ingredients in the olfactory guide must have been summarized by predecessors and added little by little, so that they can be used so conveniently today.
In fact, this is true for any technology
Camilla laid the wet blueprint on the obsidian, and then inserted a red calcite into the machine. The crystals on both sides immediately lit up, and a laser-like golden line shot out from it, slowly moving left and right on the blueprint.
Extending forward, Fang glanced at it and silently estimated the speed in his mind. He also knew that the process of inputting these drawings was very long, and I'm afraid it wouldn't take more than an hour or two to complete.
Camilla also stuck out her tongue: "This old antique is so troublesome. I heard that the latest machine is more than two or three times more efficient than this."
"It's a pity that President Erna has applied for funding several times, but none has been approved." The little girl muttered: "I heard that other craftsmen's guilds are self-financed, but why is our guild so poor?"
Thinking of Ms. Erna's appearance, Fang couldn't help but shook his head.
Behind the weird machine that Camilla called the 'decomposer', in the direction of the counter, there was a round metal platform, about the size of a human face, with a surface as smooth as a mirror, and an orange crystal suspended on it.
.
"Mr. Ed," Camilla pointed to the crystal and said, "This is the information crystal. It also has the function of a communication crystal. It is connected to the main crystal of the Istania Craftsmen Association.
There are a total of seven main crystals in Lian, and they are connected to each other through the etheric road and the one in Grande."
However, the little girl frowned, patted the crystal with her hand and said, "It's strange, there has always been a certain delay in communication recently. Is this thing also aging?"
Fang was speechless for a while about the craftsmen's association that was "in disrepair".
However, the words were unintentional, but the listener was intentional. When he heard what the other party said, he couldn't help but ask: "Are communications often delayed recently?"
"Well," Camilla nodded, while holding her glasses with her hand: "This thing started to malfunction a month or two ago, but it has become more and more frequent recently. It is probably going to break. If
If the information crystal is broken, you can only apply for one from the Istania Craftsmen Association, and there are no spare parts for this thing."
Fang was relieved when he heard that this situation existed two months ago.
After some operations, it really took more than two hours to get all the preparations done.
The verification results from the Grand Federation were quickly sent back to the Istania Craftsmen Association, and turned into a notice with only a few lines of text. The note creaked from an old automatic machine.
Spit out from the typewriter.
Camilla pulled off the note with a 'swipe' sound, took a look at it, and said to him with joy: "Mr. Ed, congratulations on the drawings you entered being entered into the catalog of the Corinthulian Alchemy Association.
Since this is your first design, you will receive double points as a rule."
"Your drawing was jointly rated + by three masters, with excellent quality, average practicality, high structural complexity, high cost indicators, and difficult control."
She read the note and said according to the script: "The level of the design drawing is level 11, with a basic score of 110 points. Multiplied by the above evaluation parameters, it is 175 points."
Camilla raised her head and looked at him with admiration with her emerald green eyes: "Multiply by two, it is three hundred and fifty points... This is Mr. Ed's first work. This score is quite high."
After leaving Kapka, Fang worked as a 'Wild Alchemist' for a while, and was not familiar with the standards of the Artisans Association. Although he learned some basic knowledge from Ander, within just one week, he
It is impossible for the other party to explain everything to him.
He couldn't help but ask: "Camilla, is this score very high? Generally speaking, what is the score?"
Camilla thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Generally speaking, if most people's first work scores 50 or 60 points, it is considered a passing grade, and 175 points is quite an exaggeration. It seems that the person in charge of the review
Master craftsman, are you very optimistic about Mr. Ed's work?"
Fang's heart moved and he asked: "Camilla, can you help me check if there are any blueprints for the 'Battle Fairy'?"
Camilla nodded, walked over and slapped the information crystal again. Fang was sweating profusely, fearing that the little girl would completely destroy the crystal with a slap.
But it seems that this repair method is also common in other worlds.
Soon, the other party came to the conclusion: "Yes, Mr. Ed." Then she exclaimed: "Oh my God, the score is so high, more than 17,000 points..."
Fang was not surprised after hearing this. As a revival of an ancient school, Battle Fairy can be said to have the significance of establishing a sect. All the reviewers from the Craftsmen's Association are masters of various schools. Of course, it is impossible.
If you don't know the goods, it's not surprising to give a high score of more than 10,000 points.
He thought for a moment and then asked: "Camilla, where are you checking the crystal-step design? This is not a design drawing, it is a technical entry. Please check the list."
Design drawings and technical input are always two ways for craftsmen. For example, the 'Wasp-i' he designed is a design drawing, and the 'Structural Siren' he invented reproduces the skill of Numelin's 'Creation Technique'.
It is a new alchemical technology.
Of course, the 'Creation Technique' is based on his absorption of dark elements, and may also be related to a series of secrets between Fang Nini and Dragon Gold. Before he understands this, he will not
This technology will be easily leaked.
Similar to this, there is also Zero Crystal technology.
Camilla did as she was told, and then exclaimed again: "Ah, I found it...Crystal step design, ancient technology, catalog t-104, uploader, Ed..."
She turned around in surprise, unable to close her open mouth: "Mr. Ed, this is the ancient technology you uploaded...Mr. Ed, you also know the ancient technology...points...points...wait, ten thousand
Two thousand two hundred points...!!"
Fang took a gentle breath.
Although I had expected it, I still couldn't help but feel a sense of sudden surprise when I heard this score.
The ancient technologies that Arquette and Merifon urged him to register with the Elpaxin Artisans Association are also on this list. Although the two old dwarves are indeed a bit sinister, they are very good in alchemy.
Excellent. The person who uploaded this technology really wrote his name.
As the prerequisite technology for the battle elf design, it is not surprising that this skill has scored more than 10,000 points for the master craftsmen.
However, there are traces of modification on this score. It should be that the earliest master craftsmen did not give such a high score. However, with the emergence of the battle elf design drawings, the responsible reviewer remembered this and went back to modify the score.
result.
For the first time, Fang felt that the legacy left to him by Master Hain-Fam was indeed an extremely huge wealth. Not to mention everything that the non-attribute crystal brought to him, just these marginal knowledge can also be obtained in the Craftsmen's Association.
Among them, 12,000 points were redeemed.
This in itself is a real value
Generally speaking, the points of the Craftsmen's Guild and the points of the Adventurer's Guild can be used to exchange for some precious materials, knowledge and other resources. The selectors gave this point a relatively intuitive valuation, which is roughly multiplied by one hundred
Fifteen, equivalent to Rissel of the same value.
In other words, the "crystal-step design" alone is worth nearly 1.5 million Lisels.
Although it seems, it is only equivalent to the value of a magic weapon owned by a top member of the Grand Guild.
But when I thought about it, it was almost equal to more than twice the entire wealth of the Seven Seas Troupe since its establishment until today. Of course, except for the Seven Seas Traveler.
He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked: "I can use this money... isn't it, points?"
Although points cannot be directly converted into money, they can also be handed over to others through an internal market provided by the Craftsmen Association. Although there is a discount of about 10%, the Craftsmen Association will also charge another 10% stamp duty, but it is 100%.
Eighty percent of the 500,000 Risels was 1.2 million, and he didn't plan to replace it all. It was just in time to save money.
But Camilla glanced at it, her eyebrows sank and she said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ed, it can't be done."
"how?"
"It says above that your guardian and instructor have certain requirements for using the points given by this technology."
Fang was shocked: "Teacher Ande?"
"No," the little girl shook her head like a rattle: "It says Arquette - Sparkle and Merifon - Frostbrow."
"These two damn old bastards!"
Fang was so angry that he almost cursed. The slightest favorable impression he had just established towards the two old dwarves suddenly disappeared without a trace. He said angrily: "What do they want again?"
"First, we require you to reach level 23," Camilla was startled by him and whispered: "Then we require you to participate in the Continental League... If not, at least wait until the end of the Continental League..."
"The Mainland League lasted a year and a half after it started!"
He was so angry that he vomited blood. Fortunately, he knew that the two old dwarves were very optimistic about him and worried that he would squander all the money and delay his future in alchemy. He also had level 23.
, it won’t take long to get to the next level.
But the Continental League is not something that can end in a while. First of all, after the qualifiers are over, the preparation period alone is as long as eleven months, and then there are seven months of tour time, and the last month is in Oshu.
The finals are held in the capital.
The whole time, no more, no less, was exactly one and a half years.
After a year and a half, the day lilies are all cold.
He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do, because the technology was uploaded with help from others, and he was indeed an apprentice at that time, and this aspect was also under the rules of the Craftsmen's Association.
There was no other way, so Fang had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. He ignored the huge sum of money for the time being and just asked:
"Okay then, I want to make the drawings I entered public. Is there any handling fee?"
After the impact of twelve thousand points, Camilla looked at him differently.
The little girl shook her head respectfully and replied: "Not only is there no need, the guild will also reward you."
Fang nodded.
The so-called making the drawings public means that everyone can access them. Of course, this is not free.
The craftsman world focuses on sharing knowledge rather than monopolizing it. This may be a form of commemoration of the knowledge passed down to humans by the elves of Numelin, but it was also unintentional. The knowledge that circulates freely today has also contributed to the prosperity and development of alchemy.
Over time, after people realized the benefits, corresponding rules were established one by one.
After the arrival of Earthlings, the mechanism of patent law was introduced to make this system more rigorous.
An excellent design often brings various benefits to the craftsman. One is the patent fee of the design, which can be enjoyed until the author dies or leaves this world.
Don’t underestimate this profit. It is equivalent to 35% of the cost of the design drawing. That is to say, every time someone else makes a finished product, they need to pay 35% of the cost, specifically to the drawing provider. This fee lasts until
Until the blueprint provider leaves this world, then it will be converted to a buyout system
In this contract, there is a double guarantee between Anji Na and Ms. Roman, which most people would not dare to violate easily.
However, something special arises here. Since the Chosen Craftsmen often leave this world very early as life professionals, usually no more than forty-five years old, the Craftsmen Association especially likes to include the drawings of the Chosen Alchemists.
It may even lower some standards.
So under the guidance of Camilla, Fang filled out the form, and then the latter applied to Information Crystal. After a series of procedures, Fang finally got the first pot of gold for his design.
Three Istanian gold coins.
Approximately equivalent to thirteen hundred lisels.
This is an advance payment of patent fees by the guild. Although most of the costs will not be recovered in the end, the guild will not pursue them, which is almost equivalent to an incentive mechanism for designers.
Camilla said from the side: "I heard that some people now make slight improvements on ordinary design drawings specifically to make a small amount of money. This kind of drawing has no meaning at all, and is just to avoid duplication checks. Now.
In order to deal with such people, the Craftsmen Association has further enhanced its inspection efforts... Huh, there are these clever guys everywhere."
She glanced at Fang and quickly added: "I'm not talking about Mr. Ed, Mr. Ed is much better than those people."
Fang couldn't laugh or cry.
But he had to admit that there were indeed people like this everywhere.
While the two were chatting, a group of people suddenly entered the guild hall from outside. When Fang looked back, he realized that they were a group of mystics wearing purple robes.
He was startled for a moment before he remembered that these people seemed to have met these people the day they went to the Sand Lodge. He couldn't help but look back, wondering if the little girl Parker saw that day was among them.
.
But he glanced over and suddenly remembered that the other party rushed out that day, and he didn't know if it was related to the wandering alchemist? After all, mystics and necromancers have a very high status in Istania, no less than the royal family.
Her Highness the Princess may not be able to get any information from these people.
While he was thinking, the little girl behind him said again:
"It's those mystics again."
"What?" Fang turned around and asked, "Have they appeared recently?"
