Chapter 758 Premarital Negotiations (4000 Words! Ask for a Monthly Ticket!!)
Count Cruz thought that Joshua's first two projects already had elements of a joke in them.
He roughly estimated the resources needed to build the carousel and the Ferris wheel. The carousel is relatively easy, and half a month is enough to build one.
As for the Ferris wheel...
If Earl Cruz paid for this kind of 'spectacle' himself, and it was only used to see the scenery in the distance, he would definitely twitch with distress!
This thing is simply a monster that devours gold coins. Earl Cruz would not dare to raise one of this kind of monster, but looking at Joshua's appearance...he plans to raise about seven or eight more.
Now a more terrifying money-swallowing monster appeared on the stage, which Joshua named Roller Coaster.
"Mr. Joshua, is this really a magical machine for entertainment, not...torture or murder?"
The young craftsman expressed the thoughts of everyone present. The demonstration of the roller coaster seemed to them to be too scary.
After exiting the station, it climbed slowly towards the high place, and fell down instantly when it climbed to the top, followed by several consecutive reversed curves and inverted tracks.
Whoever gets on this rail car will probably not be able to come back alive.
"I named this magical machine a roller coaster. The way it runs looks a bit thrilling, but maintaining this thrilling way of running while ensuring the safety of the personnel and the bearing capacity of the track...is what you need to consider."
Qiao Xiu posed a difficult problem to all the master craftsmen present, this time they did not raise any questions but started to discuss.
The discussion went on for a few minutes until one of the oldest-looking artisans raised his hand.
"Mr. Qiao Xiu, if you are serious, we will accept this commission."
"Then I'll leave it to Master Tissy."
Qiao Xiu could tell that the old craftsman's expression was not accepting the employer's commission or something, but an expression of excitement when he met an interesting challenge.
"Let's talk about the next magical machine..." When Joshua said this, he walked to Ciri's side and asked in a low voice, "Is there any problem with magic power consumption?"
"Create three illusions and the mana will be exhausted, and the man in purple will double my homework." A new purple inscription appeared on Ciri's fingertips again, "The next pie... no, the amusement facility to be built What is it?"
"Well... let me see."
Joshua told the group of craftsmen one by one the amusement facilities he was thinking of and his own ideas.
Ever since the roller coaster, they have become interested in these novel ideas of Joshua, even though most of them are useless in their eyes.
The bidding for the construction of the amusement park lasted until late at night.
"Everyone has estimated the price of the construction, just send the bill to the Hearthstone Tavern, and I will send someone to send you the deposit."
Joshua glanced at the already dark sky outside.
Queen Yekana was present to observe the entire bidding meeting. Although she remained silent by the side, it seemed that she was still brushing posts on the caster forum... But as long as Queen Yekana was a witness, Joshua didn't have to. Worried that your deposit will be cheated.
"It's time for you to prove to the world that the country of steel's magical machine construction technology... is the best in the world."
"No proof is needed, Mr. Joshua, you just need to wait, and you mentioned Arthur Crow."
Queen Yekana closed the magic web interface in front of her, and focused on Qiao Xiu again.
"The legendary city in the sky, the gathering place of high elves..."
"I will take you to visit when the time is right, Ms. Yekana."
Joshua vaguely guessed what the queen was planning.
Faluoxi has a world tree, so that their entire country does not need the crystallization of the world tree to connect to the magic net.
This temptation is too great. Queen Yekana herself is also a wise spellcaster, and she also knows that the World Tree cannot be cultivated by seeds.
"I'll wait." Queen Yekana showed a smile that made Joshua elusive.
………………
"I always thought that woman was dangerous."
Ciri sat on the co-pilot seat of the magic car, holding a bottle of blue potion.
She created eight exquisite large-scale illusions in a row, and the magic power in her body was a little bit unsustainable.
"I heard that the queen of the country of steel used to be a disciple of the man in yellow, and she was still the chief...now she is also a powerful spellcaster."
Qiao Xiu held the steering wheel and looked at the flashing red primordial on the road ahead, and had no choice but to step on the brakes before the intersection.
"No... That woman always gave me the feeling that she would say 'I want it all'." Ciri said as she unscrewed the bottle of the blue potion.
"Collectors are like this, by the way, Ciri... want to find some time to choose a wedding ring?"
Qiao Xiu just saw a jewelry store on the corner of the street.
"Cough cough."
Shirley just took a sip of the magic potion when Joshua said this.
"I knew I shouldn't drink water when you said 'right'."
Ciri took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, then tactfully re-corked the bottle of magic potion in his hand.
"It is indeed a bit sudden, and this should be chosen by myself."
Qiao Xiu soon noticed that the topic had become slightly awkward.
"In fact, I do not know."
Ciri touched the ring on her index finger with her hand. This ring was the spiritual magic that Joshua gave her to shield the purple-clothed man.
"Then this topic will be temporarily suspended, and we will soon go to the Hearthstone Tavern, so..."
"How long have we known each other, Joshua."
Ciri suddenly put on her hood, hugged her legs and curled up in the passenger seat, only quietly watching Joshua through the interior mirror.
"It's been almost two years and seven months, what's the matter?"
Joshua didn't understand why Ciri would enter... fully armed mode at this time.
"When I first met you, you wanted to blow my head off." Ciri said while holding the red gemstone around her neck.
"Trust me, that's just to scare you."
Joshua felt suspicion in Shirley's eyes.
"But thinking about it, I didn't understand anything two years ago." Ciri said suddenly.
"Shirley?" Joshua found that Shirley's state was a bit strange.
"Josh! Can you hear what I'm thinking now?"
Ciri pulled the hood on his head lower with his hands, as if intending to confess something.
"anytime."
At first, Joshua thought that Shirley would never feel depressed, but everyone has their own concerns. Joshua seemed to touch something in Shirley when he mentioned marriage.
"I actually felt inferior when I was with you." The more Ciri said, the hood on her head was lowered down, so low that Joshua couldn't even see her expression clearly, "Especially after you met that Farosh When Huajia Luoli was in love, she was so beautiful that I wanted to date her, and she was also the daughter of a duke."
Hearing these words, Joshua paused while holding the steering wheel, because Joshua was really afraid of what Shirley would say, 'Sorry, I actually like Jialuoli. '
"And Tailin, her singing and the world tree of their family really helped you a lot." Ciri whispered, "The king of the Frost Kingdom, Sheil, is also, if she If you disclose your identity as a girl, the Demon Realm and the Frost Kingdom have ceased fighting, and you will definitely consider marrying... If you and Xie Er..."
"Shirley!"
Joshua interrupted Shirley's words at this moment. Joshua could listen quietly to Shirley's narration before, but this sentence made Joshua feel a little angry.
Ciri's body curled up in the passenger seat shook slightly, but she still chose to continue talking.
"Josh, there are too many girls you know who are better than me, and they all have a crush on you, but...but..." Ciri took off her hood when she said this, and stared at her with silver-gray eyes Looking at Qiao Xiu, he said, "I will try my best to become better than them. The instructor said that you will definitely need to use illusions a lot in the future. I am almost able to complete the fifth level of illusion magic construction."
"It has nothing to do with the illusion." Joshua stopped the magic car and said to her.
Ciri's silver-gray eyes glowed in the darkness, like a kitten afraid of being abandoned.
"No, with the phantom..."
Without waiting for Shirley to finish his sentence, Joshua turned off the ignition of the magic guided vehicle, and then directly approached Shirley who was curled up in the co-pilot seat.
Shirley's lips still smelled of the magic potion from before. She stared at Joshua with wide eyes, then closed her eyes and silently accepted Joshua's rough request.
The overlapping of lips lasted for a long time, and Ciri's breathing was a little short when they separated again.
"It has nothing to do with it, do you understand?"
Joshua put his hand on the top of the co-pilot's seat, looking down at Ciri who was curled up in the corner.
From this angle, Joshua could see Ciri's collarbone...
"I...I see." Ciri's cheeks were already filled with blush, and at the same time, she used the back of her hand to block her lips, not daring to look at Joshua. "Hurry up and drive, in case Nolan enforces the law again." It will be troublesome if the team is detained.”
Joshua was slightly relieved to see Ciri recovering his spirit.
"fine."
But Joshua didn't intend to end it like this, and directly grabbed Shirley's hand covering his lips.
"Now the car is parked in an alley where no one will come."
"Alley?"
Ciri looked up and realized that she was not on Nolan's street!
"Wait...wait a minute!"
Ciri's resistance was directly overwhelmed by Joshua without any effect.
……………………
Joshua and Ciri returned to the Hearthstone Tavern after spending some sweet time.
When Joshua came to his study, he saw Tailin, a frost elf who was watering the cat.
"Josh, and Shirley are you back?"
Tai Lin had been waiting in the study for a long time, she put down the kettle in her hand, and the white cat also disappeared on Joshua's desk.
"I participated in two international conferences in a row today... so it's a little late."
Joshua and Ciri walked into the study together, and Tailin felt very uncomfortable when he examined his eyes.
"And Tailin, what do you want?" Joshua asked immediately.
Tai Lin withdrew her gaze and sat opposite Joshua's desk again, her expression was very serious.
"Mr. Joshua, your "Sherlock Holmes" has not been updated for a long time."
The moment Tai Lin used the honorific, Qiao Xiu knew that the frost elf must have come to remind him to change.
Although Tailin's voice sounded soft and weak, for some reason, Qiao Xiu immediately sat up straight.
"To be precise, it should have been suspended for fifteen days." Shirley also joined the camp of reminders at this time. "There are almost a thousand reminders on the library."
"That book, as you all know, I've been very busy recently... so I don't have much time to write." Joshua said.
"I know that Mr. Joshua, you are busy with the competition of the Holy Spirit recently, but you promised to write a chapter in a certain period of time." Tai Lin used a pleading tone when she said this.
"Well... I will write tomorrow when I have time."
Qiao Xiu tilted his head with a guilty conscience and said.
"Mr. Qiao Xiu, can you really keep the promise?"
Tailin can trust Joshua in everything, but Tailin has never been able to trust him with the update of "Sherlock Holmes".
"By the way, Tylin, and Ciri... Actually, I have a new idea that I've been wanting to share with you."
Qiao Xiu tried to change the topic, but a work was not updated, and then he used the excuse of opening a new work, not to mention diverting the readers' attention, the readers might directly hunt down the author with a knife.
Sure enough, Qiao Xiu's proposal had an excellent mocking effect.
"I still hope that, Mr. Qiao Xiu, you can take the time to write a chapter. There are many fans like me waiting in the library."
Tailin's soft personality will not be too tough when she is urged to change.
"I'll write it tomorrow!" Joshua gave another panacea answer and said, "Do you want to see my new ideas?"
Tailin was in hesitation. If it was a game like the Holy Spirit, it would be fine, at least she wouldn't have to wait hard for an update. But what if Joshua wrote another interesting novel, and ended up updating a chapter every two or three months? She absolutely can't take it.
In the end, the curiosity about the new work overcame the pain of waiting for the update, Tailin nodded slightly.
Joshua looked at Ciri again, and Joshua did not make any further affectionate behaviors to Ciri in the car before.
But if he hadn't met Tailin when he returned to the tavern, Joshua probably would have carried Ciri directly to the bed.
"I'm still alive," said Ciri.
"Well, a disease that can make people extremely frustrated and angry has recently appeared in the Frost Plain. As for the reason..."
"Gray fog..."
When Tailin uttered this word, the weak frost elf seemed much stronger. After all, she was a woman who shouldered the responsibility of continuing a group.
"I need a special drug that can cure this disease, so I plan to create an animation."
Joshua found Shirley's oil painting tools on his desk, and directly outlined the image of a cat and a mouse with brush strokes.
