69, Distiller and Shoes of the Kingdom of God
"Dear Lord, it's an honor to meet you!"
Carpenter Paul and shoemaker Jamie hurriedly saluted Sean, and more than twenty children from the slums also knelt down.
The butler Henry had already told the craftsmen and children that Sean was the Holy Son of the Church, so they were very excited and looked at Sean with unusual nervousness.
"No gifts for everyone!" Sean waved his hand, then looked at the carpenter and shoemaker in front of him: "Both of you, have you read the confidentiality agreement?"
Carpenter Paul and shoemaker Jamie looked at each other and hesitated to speak.
Sean saw the expressions of the two people and immediately said: "Say what you have to say and don't hide it.
Are you not satisfied with the salary marked on the contract? If you are not satisfied, if you don’t tell me now, you will have no chance in the future.”
The carpenter Paul took a step forward and said honestly: "Lord, we are actually very satisfied with the salary, but neither of us can read, so we have not read the contract.
But Henry the Butler has a very good character and we all trust him, so we came after he told us about the salary."
"So that's it." Sean glanced at the butler Henry unexpectedly and continued:
"Since you can't read, I'll just tell you.
I won't treat you badly by working here. Not only will the salary be generous, but I won't interfere with your normal life. You can go home after get off work every day, no different from normal townspeople.
But I want to make one thing clear in advance. The content of your work here cannot be disclosed to the outside world. To others, you can only call it ordinary work. Do you understand?"
"Understood, we will definitely not tell anyone." The two men replied hurriedly.
"Okay then, I will arrange work for you now."
Sean gave the two craftsmen the sketches of the distillation condensation device and high heels he had just drawn.
...
The two craftsmen originally thought that Sean would give them very complicated drawings or patterns, so both of them had expressions of fear.
But after seeing the sketch that Sean gave them, their brows gradually relaxed.
The carpenter Paul spoke first: "Lord, I actually made a set of similar tools seven or eight years ago."
"What? Have you done it?" Sean was surprised.
"That's right." Paul, the carpenter, nodded.
"About six or seven years ago, the Chenxing River overflowed that year, and the river water entered the wells used by residents to draw water. There was no clean, drinkable water in the entire territory.
So the Viscount went to Yohn City for help. When he came back, he ordered me to make a set of similar tools to obtain clean fresh water through distillation for use in the castle.
But unlike this set of tools, the original steam barrel was not connected to a conduit."
Henry, the butler standing aside, also sighed: "I was also deeply impressed by this incident. At that time, many residents drank the turbid river water, and many people fell ill.
But this is a natural disaster and there is nothing we can do."
"So that's it." Sean breathed a sigh of relief, "How many days will it take you to make this set of tools?"
Carpenter Paul thought for a while and said with certainty: "If there are enough materials... I can do it tomorrow afternoon!"
"Okay then, I'll leave it to you to make the water purification tools.
If you can do it tomorrow afternoon, I will give you a reward of two gold coins!" Sean patted the carpenter Paul on the shoulder and encouraged him.
"Thank you, Lord! You are so generous!"
Hearing Sean's words, carpenter Paul was extremely pleasantly surprised.
In the past, he only earned 1-1.5 gold coins a week in Hetan Town.
Making distillation tools is very simple and takes a short time. Unexpectedly, the lord actually gave him a reward of two gold coins. This is really a good thing that he had never dreamed of before!
Looking at the excited carpenter in front of him who wanted to dance for joy, Sean poured cold water on him and said: "Don't be too happy too early, these two gold coins are mainly for your hush money.
If you leak the contents of the work here, I will drive you out of the territory, or even make you disappear directly, do you understand?"
Hearing Sean's words, Paul suddenly broke into a cold sweat and replied: "Lord, I will definitely not tell anything about what happened here."
"Very good, I'll take a look at your results tomorrow afternoon." After giving instructions to the carpenter, Sean looked at the shoemaker Jamie:
"You are the best shoemaker in Hetan Town, so your level must be very high, right? Can you make the shoes and boots in the sketch?"
"The style of shoes in the sketch is very unique. I can't guarantee that it will be exactly the same. I can only try my best.
But I have a question that I would like to ask the lord."
"you say."
Shoemaker Jamie took Sean's sketch of high heels and said to Sean in confusion:
"Making shoes with such a high heel will waste a lot of material, and such a high heel will be very harsh on the feet and will also compress the forefoot. I don't think this is a very good design."
Sean had long thought that the shoemaker would have such questions, so he said seriously:
"The thing is like this, a few days ago I entered the kingdom of the God of Light while I was sleeping, and I saw that the gods of the kingdom were wearing these styles of shoes..."
Sean repeated what he said to Henry.
Hearing Sean's words, shoemaker Jamie was stunned: "This is actually a sketch of the shoes worn by the gods!"
After a short period of time, Jamie recovered from his dazed state and looked at the sketch with hot eyes, as if the sketch drawn by Sean was made of gold, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Paul, the carpenter standing nearby, looked horrified when he heard Sean's words. He couldn't help but secretly glance at the sketch in Jamie's hand from the corner of his eye, trying to see what the shoes worn by the god looked like.
"Why didn't I think of these smooth lines and philosophical high heels?" Shoemaker Jamie held the sketch in his hand carefully, as if it was a priceless treasure.
"Okay Jamie, I have a lot of Warcraft skins here. How soon can you make these kind of shoes from the Kingdom of God?"
"If it's Warcraft skin, it will take at least three weeks." Shoemaker Jamie immediately replied.
"Three weeks? This is too long." Sean was very dissatisfied.
If nothing else happens, I will be leaving for Jon City in a week. Three weeks is too long.
"There is nothing we can do, Lord." Shoemaker Jamie explained: "Ordinary rawhide needs to be tanned into leather before it can be used, and it usually takes seven to ten days.
Warcraft hides are even tougher and can’t even be tanned in fifteen days.”
"I am an amateur." Sean admitted his mistake frankly: "Henry, did we buy already tanned leather this time?"
Sean turned to look at Henry.
"There are some, but these leathers are intended to be used to make clothes for you and your guards." Henry, the butler, said.
"Then use it all to make shoes, and you can buy the leather later.
Jamie, how long does it take to make a pair of shoes from tanned leather?"
"Two days, two days is enough." Jamie said confidently.
"Okay then, you do your best. Henry, provide enough manpower and materials for the two of them to make the real thing as soon as possible." Sean ordered.
