Chapter 410 Ferdinand's Selfishness(1/2)
The mage tower that Sean built in the Northern Fortress is not even a small project, let alone a big project, compared to the huge infrastructure project of the Yongye Army.
But it is unique enough and linked to the energy of magic.
This alone is worth Ferdinand's action. If Sean doesn't greet him, even if he is the supreme ruler of the Eternal Night Army, he will have to endure the baptism of his saliva next time he sees him.
A person's skills may become more and more sophisticated over time, but a person's temperament and temperament are difficult to change.
Ferdinand has master-level skills, but his temper is still inconsistent.
Anyone who knows him well knows that his cold-faced and hot-hearted attitude, vicious words, and violent attitude are just a way to hide his fragile heart.
But in the eyes of people who don't know him well, he is an out-and-out tyrant, especially in engineering and construction. He is as stubborn as a rock, and his small body contains huge energy like a volcano.
This kind of stubbornness has both advantages and disadvantages.
The good thing is that the projects he oversees are rarely hampered by external factors. He doesn't care whether you are financially tight or not, or whether the materials are produced in factories in the territory.
Since you have formulated the project plan, when the time comes, you have to allocate the funds to me on time.
If the materials are not up to standard and affect the quality of the project, just rework and remake it honestly. The projects he presides over will never be scrapped.
Otherwise, let alone Marshall, even Sean would dare to point at his nose and curse.
The person involved did not dare to refute and was unable to refute except smiling.
After all, just by adhering to professional ethics, Ferdinand stood on the high ground of being responsible for the military leader.
This is also the supreme magic weapon that he has been running rampant in the Yongye Army for so many years. As long as he sticks to this point, unless Sean is extremely stupid, he will never touch him.
When Ferdinand actually went for Sean, it was very rare, and most of the time he went for Marshall.
Whether it is financial allocation or territorial factories, they are all within the scope of his responsibility as the logistics manager.
Now when Marshall meets Ferdinand, he is like a mouse meeting a cat, he has to take a detour.
However, this also prompted Marshall to develop the habit of making financial plans every time, striving for excellence, and minimizing unexpected events, thus allocating funds for military infrastructure.
In other words, the various infrastructure projects led by the Yongye Army were able to progress at such a rapid pace that they did not stagnate even during the war.
Ferdinand deserves a lot of credit.
This kind of thing requires people who are willing to fight, so that it will not be delayed due to various unexpected factors.
If this infrastructure project or construction plan is stopped at any time due to financial difficulties, what will eventually result is a bunch of unfinished projects. If you want to pick them up again, it will be difficult and will increase repeated financial consumption.
The disadvantage is, of course, that Ferdinand's popularity is relatively low, and so far there are not many senior leaders of the Yongye Army who have close friendship with him.
It was not without reason that Ferdinand had super high construction skills, but was in poverty in the Byron League.
While Sean was glad that he had picked up such a talented person, Ferdinand was also glad that he met the leader of the Evernight Army due to some strange combination of circumstances.
Otherwise, there would be no chance for him to shine brightly, and he would have been dragged back to death long ago.
Being depressed for a lifetime will be his final outcome.
Ferdinand is very aware of this, so his feelings for Sean are very complicated.
Amidst the gratitude and awe, there is still a bit of resentment that has not been completely eliminated. After all, all his former family members were killed in the turmoil led by Man Yu's army.
Although it was the nobles and nobles of the Man Yu Army who took direct action, the Yong Ye Army Leader was an indirect factor that could not be ignored.
However, with the re-establishment of a family and the birth of new children, this point is slowly disappearing.
There may be political elements in the new marriage, but the children are indeed their own. There are only a few bad parents who vent their resentment on their children because of political marriages, at least Ferdinand is not that kind of person.
Just like most men, having a family and having children means that they have a new spiritual harbor and life goals, and their mentality will naturally change slowly.
"Mr. Ferdinand, we have been waiting for you for a long time. I hope our plan will not cause you any trouble." Sean went to the satellite city to greet Ferdinand in person.
Sean was very fond of this short-lived middle-aged man with a bad temper.
Having a bad temper also means being straightforward and not having so many twists and turns in your heart. Such people are easy to get along with as long as they have a good temperament.
What's more, Ferdinand's tyrant temper does not show up all the time, and usually only appears when he is in charge of projects or teaching.
In daily life, Mr. Nice Guy dare not say anything, and most of the time he is relatively gentle.
"Your lord is so polite. It is my greatest honor to be able to serve your lord." A smile appeared on Ferdinand's stiff face, "Besides, it's not like your lord doesn't know my temper. If I have this unique temper,
If the building doesn't greet me, I'll get impatient."
"Haha, Mr. Ferdinand is still as candid as ever." Sean laughed and said, "I asked someone to prepare a banquet for Mr. Ferdinand."
"No need to go to such trouble, business matters." Ferdinand waved his hands repeatedly.
"People are like rice and steel. No matter how urgent things are, we always have to eat. Eating will not delay us from talking about things." Sean pointed to the stack of manuscript papers held in the hands of the entourage. "I know that Mr. is impatient, so I don't care about the information."
I brought it here, we have already produced a preliminary drawing, sir, please review it and correct it."
"I can't take it seriously. It can only be said that we are learning from each other. In terms of mage towers, my experience is almost zero. I'm afraid I still need help from the lord." When talking about architecture, Ferdinand's eyes sparkled with excitement.
, his words were polite, but he acted very quickly. He quickly took the information from the guard and started to read it.
Just the words "Mage Tower" were enough for Ferdinand to show 100% of his energy and energy.
The name Mage Tower is well-known in the Ashan continent.
However, they became famous not during the Byronic League, but during the Ancient Andis Empire.
According to historical records, during the heyday of the Ancient Andis Empire, it was not the territorial capital that controlled the territories of various places, but the towering mage towers that reached into the clouds.
Those mage towers are rumored to be magical.
Legend has it that those mage towers possess magical powers. Each one is loaded with mechanisms and has the ability to destroy heaven and earth. One tower can easily wipe out an elite army.
Legend has it that the warlocks of the Ancient Andis Empire are nearly invincible in their own mage tower. Their magic energy seems to be endless, and they possess terrifying power that can destroy the world. No one dares to challenge a person in their own mage tower.
The winning warlock, even a higher-level warlock than the opponent, cannot succeed.
Legend has it that the mage towers of the Ancient Andis Empire once covered every corner of the world. In front of them, even the Odin orcs had to surrender and became war tools of the warlocks. The Kentana barbarians were also expelled.
Arriving on the cold ice field, you will never be able to return to your hometown.
There are even legends that even the Kentana Icefield was not formed by natural causes, but by the warlocks of the Ancient Andis Empire. They built countless mage towers here and turned it into a huge natural cage.
Used to imprison Kentana barbarians.
According to legend, Brissan, the imperial capital of the Ancient Andis Empire, was composed of countless mage towers and was known as a fortress that would never fall.
Including the fierce battle with the Byron Alliance, which was still an uprising coalition at that time, Brisan was never captured, but was destroyed by self-destruction.
Even historians who are good at distorting history cannot deny this.
And this has been confirmed by the leader of the Yongye Army. The ancient capital of the Andis Empire has completely disappeared, leaving only an incomparable standard inverted cone-shaped lake in the ruins, which looks like an explosion crater.
This series of unverifiable legends has created the supreme prestige of the Mage Tower and has also become a symbol of the sorcerers.
Unfortunately, due to the war, most of the mage towers from the Ancient Andis Empire were destroyed. Even if there are some remaining ones, they are not as magical as the legends say.
I don’t know if it’s because of the passage of time? Or because there are no knowledgeable warlocks to operate them?
In the Conclave of Witches and the Warlock Alliance, those witches and bachelors would still build their own mage towers if given the chance.
However, this kind of mage tower has more symbolic meaning than practical function. No matter how magnificent they are built, it cannot change the fact that they are just a simple residence.
Ferdinand, who was obsessed with architecture, would certainly not let go of the study of buildings like the Mage's Tower. During his apprenticeship, he had visited and studied various historic buildings, and even lived in an abandoned Mage's Tower for half a year.
Unfortunately, he was not able to uncover the biggest secret of the Mage Tower. At best, he studied their layout and structure, and just like most people, he regarded them as deified legends.
But this idea has been shattered since the leader of the Yongye Army analyzed the basic runes in the energy reaction chamber.
He had discovered similar runes on those mage towers.
Not only the mage tower, but also elven ruins and ancient Andis Empire ruins and buildings have been discovered in many places.
Ferdinand was only regarded as a unique pattern of that era, used for decoration.
Judging from the appearance alone, whether it is the basic runes taken apart or the magic circuits put together, there is a kind of beauty that cannot be described in words. If you really want to use words to describe it, it is very consistent with the creation of nature.
of beauty.
When the real pattern is no longer a simple decoration, or what you see is just a simple appearance, the meaning seems to be somewhat different.
Especially when the leader of the Yongye Army pulled out the energy transmission pipe from the energy reaction room and built the incubation room, it had an earth-shaking impact on Ferdinand's understanding of the Mage Tower.
Ferdinand discovered that whether he was inspecting the mage tower or the elf ruins, he had overlooked one issue, and that was energy.
Put aside the feasibility of it.
If the energy reaction chamber of the Northern Fortress was installed arbitrarily on a mage tower, would the previous legend be just a mere legend?
This discovery made Ferdinand feel like he had been injected with blood.
In recent years, when I was busy with various infrastructure projects, I often read various architectural materials from the ancient Andis Empire and the Elf Empire era. After going back and forth, I became the most important person with Lan Xili, the number one archaeologist of the Yongye Army.
pay.
If you want to do archaeology, you need to be proficient in the ancient Andean Empire language. Especially when conducting academic research, reading something translated by others and reading the original work are two completely different things.
Non-professionals are very likely to directly get some professional words wrong or confused, and the overall research results will be wrong.
In addition to learning the ancient Andean Empire language from scratch, Ferdinand would also follow Lan Xili's archaeological team to conduct archaeological ruins when he had time.
What Ferdinand learned was also very helpful for ruin archeology. He could use his rich construction experience to deduce the original general outline of the entire town based on the remaining clues. He could even deduce the original height of the tower, sewers and main buildings based on the foundation.
