Chapter 34 Wild West! I Am Coming

"Old Jackson, that's the same sentence. I want ten of them to meet the standards of offshore transportation and fishing. As big as I can make, when can I get the boat?"

Duke's words startled old Jackson.

Unexpectedly, this young sorcerer who seemed to have never seen the world really wanted to build a ship.

The money delivered to your door should not be in vain.

Old Jackson sighed: "I don't have so much material here, I only have five keels for new ships. If there are more, I will spend time looking for materials. If you only want five new ships of 30 tons, I will give you a monthly fee." I can guarantee the quality and drive it out for you. Each piece costs 50 gold coins."

The 30-ton ship is actually very small. Converted to the size that Duke is familiar with, it is only 15 meters long and more than 3 meters wide. Just a little bigger than a sampan.

"Okay, that's it. Here is the deposit." After that, Duke immediately took out the 100 gold coins that Lothar gave him in the morning.

"It... doesn't need to be so much. If it's your mage, a 10% deposit will be enough for us."

"Then help me recruit some sailors for the rest."

Old Jackson showed hesitation on his old face full of surroundings, bit his lip, and finally said: "There are a lot of young men with nothing to do on the pier. I can help you recruit people. They are all good people." They're not sailors, lads, for all their water and character. I can't let you do high-stakes business with them."

Duke smiled smartly: "It's okay, just go fishing and transport some decent goods. Instead, I hope that the young man I recruit will have clean hands and feet. If I find out who dares to hide some goods..."

【Calmness】

【Pyroblast】

A fireball the size of a water tank instantly formed from Duke's hands, flew out, and exploded into the sea beside the shipyard.

With a loud bang, a large jet of water exploded.

Windsor next to him was completely petrified-Duke still kept his hands in the morning! If such a big fireball hit me, wouldn't I instantly turn into coke?

All the shipbuilders, including old Jackson, were shaking with their legs dangling.

"Sorry, I didn't intend to scare you, but what I'm going to do next is really important. I don't want bad guys to get into my subordinates." After that, Duke nodded and took Windsor walk away.

Duke didn't go back to the house that Lothar had given him, but went directly to the guest house of the Magic Academy and asked old man Norton to borrow paper and pens.

Spreading out and fixing the white paper about the size of A2 paper on the table, Duke picked up the quill pen that requires soaked ink to write, and silently turned on the system assistance.

The system prompt sounds:

"Drip! Detected auxiliary information such as "Descriptive Geometry" and the drawing software Autocad in the host's memory... The system is being optimized and sorted... The drawing auxiliary function is completed!"

Under Wen De Sole's astonished eyes, Duke drew a section drawing of the facade of the sailboat in less than ten minutes and handed it to Wen De Sole.

"You take care of this blueprint. This is 500 gold coins for travel expenses. I need you to go to Kul Tiras and abduct me the whole family of craftsmen who are capable of building such a large ship... Uh, please go back to Stormwind City .If I haven't come back by then, you will place him in the house that Lord Lothar gave me."

As for the blueprint, Windsor can't understand it. But he barely recognized that the original owner's name on the gold ticket that was recognized by the seven human kingdoms and could be exchanged in the main city of the seven kingdoms was the respected old mage Norton.

"Hiss—" Windsor gasped, it turned out that whether there was him or not, Duke was going to make a big deal!

Windsor asked a lot: "What are you going to do during this time, Mr. Marcus?"

"Of course it's leveling, oh, it's practicing magic, and at the same time doing the preparatory work for this investment."

The world of mages is not something that a big soldier can interfere with. Although he is suspicious, Windsor is grateful for Duke's trust in him. After all, in his opinion, 500 gold coins is already a huge sum of money. You know, this amount of money is enough for a small family to live a prosperous life for a lifetime.

Unexpectedly, Duke handed over the huge sum of money to him without even asking any more questions.

"Well, please rest assured, I, Reginald Windsor, will definitely not disappoint your expectations."

Here, Duke hurriedly returned to his 'home' in Stormwind City, and then left Stormwind City. Lothar did think highly of him, and his home was in the Garden District. According to the standard before crossing, it was already a villa. At any rate, there are two small gardens of about ten square meters in front and one in back.

Before crossing, if it was placed in a first-tier big city, it would definitely be an expensive property worth millions. But in Stormwind City, compared with the mansions of those nobles, this is really an ordinary standard.

Duke didn't worry about thinking here.

Since it is a house destined to be destroyed by war, there is nothing to worry about.

However, Duke's investment reached the ears of another group of interested people in a short period of time.

When Fam Brando heard the news of Duke's investment in shipbuilding, he burst out laughing on the spot.

"That idiot - actually went to build ships? Stormwind City doesn't have any special products to sell! We collect so much tax every year, but we can only be slaughtered by those Kul Tiras merchants, or even more damned goblins... ..."

"Well, I just watched Duke lose his pants!"

The Brando family is not stupid. When Lothar cryptically questioned the Brando family about their feud with Duke, the Brando family sternly warned Fam Brando.

"Before you have a clear view of the situation, it is forbidden to contact that Duke in any form, whether it is direct or indirect. Otherwise, if you offend Lothar, the entire Brando family will be destroyed."

Being unable to take a shot against Duke for the time being does not mean that he cannot 'bless' Duke with the worst curse. In fact, not only Brando, but even in the Magic Academy, many mages looked at Duke with contempt.

From their point of view, it would be a disgrace to the profession of a mage if a noble mage goes into business in person.

No matter how neutral a mage is, he will feel that Duke is not doing his job properly, wasting his talent and time. After all, the ocean of magic is so vast, and the lifespan of human beings is too short for the time required by magic.

But Duke paid little attention to these things.

Hiring a carriage and a team of mercenaries, Duke spent five days traveling through Elwynn Forest to Westfall, southwest of Stormwind City.

"Westfall! Here I come!"
