THE WORLD DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM

the chapter 64

John finishes this meeting with the two of them as they also begin to make preparations. Now that he decided to visit the workshop that had just been completed by Tornwall, John looked at the large building occupied by the workshop, which was,

‘What a great piece of art, it seems like Ryfon certainly enjoys his time exploring architecture, it's great that he plans the city based on their needs. ‘

He entered the workshop after observing the workshop for some time,

As soon as he enters the workshop, a dwarf recognizes John and immediately heads to invite him while he orders his new colleague to call the workshop manager, Tornwall.

The name of this Dwarf is Redbeer, he was also kidnapped and sold by mercenaries, and, His family was more involved in the Beer business in the Dwarf kingdom but they never stopped working on their main job as a blacksmith.

Recently, after witnessing and experiencing the normal life that had been promised, he began to believe in the promises that John had made before. He also has a good opinion of John because he understands that John means well and he is also under constraints when it comes to dealing with slavery as a single man.

The previously purchased slaves worked more vigorously when they experienced the lives of normal men. They are well fed, though, well-dressed and given protection while they are also given a higher than usual basic salary compared to workers in other cities because of this they can have a good life and can spend good money they produce, this also reaffirms the point that John means well to them and only men really need. And there was no need for John to explain to them about his intentions if he was just making a pleasantries. Redbeer thought that if he was in John's place then he wouldn't have cared about slaves if it had been before when he wasn't a slave. His guilty conscience embarrassed him for having that thought.

The new slaves were at first somewhat scared but after watching the treatment they also started to believe the promises the Morgan Family gave them when they got here.

Tornwall arrives with Ryfon, as soon as they see John, they immediately rush over and invite him into Tornwall's workplace.

“Ryfon, Forge made quite well this time. You do a good job, it seems you enjoy your work here.”

To John's praise, Ryfon was quite happy when he answered him with a cheerful feeling, “Haha, of course I'm happy.” enjoy more here in the northern border city than I do in the imperial city,

the food here is great at ‘Harapan’, I can always explore the wild here and there is a lot of inspiration in this city. So I guess a lot of factors helped me discover more about the world, life, and myself. “

Looking at the Tornwall he remembered meeting Redbeer, John asked in a teasing tone, “Tornwall, you didn't hire that guy as your assistant because of his beer rights?”

Tornwall did not look John in the eye as he said in a frowning but firm tone, “No.., I have nothing to hide.”

Ryfon showed a teasing smile as he looked at Tornwall and laid her naked, “don ‘ If you lie, I know you have a box of beers in your yard, I'm sure you've got a box of beers in your yard, weren't you already bragging in front of me when I couldn't find a good source of wine and beer in Hope and all the towns on the northern border. ”

Tornwall panicked and roared furiously at Ryfon,” You …! How dare you spill all the beans in front of Lord John. “

“No. Nope, no. I mean, I didn't mean anything. It was just a gift from a colleague.” He was more panicked when he subconsciously told the truth and tried to explain himself.

Tornwall said when she was revealed about her previous deeds, “Do you not complain about not being able to use the Cement that was recently used to build the road.”

Ryfon hmphed and said with a triumphant smile to Tornwall as he enjoyed Tornwall's miserable woes.state, “Hmph … Blame yourself for being stingy when you didn't share that box with me and hence the beans spilled.”

Ryfon did not care about Tornwall expressing his frustration at not being able to use cement and bricks for construction because he also understood that road maintenance was one of the important jobs at the moment because they had signed deal with Baron Mendez.

During these few days, Ryfon understood that Tornwall loved her beer more than anything else and as she experimented to make new things. He waited for this opportunity to return to Tornwall to boast and not share a beer with her.

Watching this show between them, John smiled and understood that the two of them had become very close friends in these few days now as they cursed at each other without hesitation.

John stopped their quarrel by coughing and said to the two of them.

“OK, okay it's not a big deal Tornwall, I was just kidding. Let's start serious problems first.”

John continued and asked in a serious tone, “Tornwall, is there a problem with the workshop when you process the metal?”

“On the contrary, It is easier to handle this workshop with the additional equipment provided, And the most important thing about this workshop is the strength and control shown when we are working on it. So comparatively it will be easier to work with these workshops for our people, unlike traditional workshops where more hands-on experience is required. “

‘As expected’, John thought when he heard Tornwall,

After making sure that the workshop was working well, John came to the main topic, “I heard that you have started to make Ballista prototypes, how is the progress? If there is a problem, you can always ask me because they are designed by me so that I can always modify them according to our needs. Anyway first let's go to the room where the prototype was placed then answer my question. ”

Tornwall, John and Ryfon a room heavily guarded by guards provided by John and Vlad, some of the guards have Horns on their heads which suggests they are demons from the Longsea house.

One of the guards thought after he recognized John and showed a hint of killing intent, “So this is the person that Master is currently teaching, I wish I was lucky” and he sighed when he saw her.

John looked at the place from where the killing intent came and did not interfere anymore as he smiled at him and headed inside.

After recognizing John and his men, they allowed them to enter the room, “hmm. Meanwhile, it looks like the prototype finished 2/3, did you face any difficulties when you made it? ”

Tornwall thought when John asked this question, ‘I guess there were some difficulties when we didn't have a new workshop, but, I wonder where he got all these crazy ideas to make such an amazing machine. ‘

Tornwall reported about the difficulties he faced at the beginning, “We faced some difficulties at the beginning but it was resolved after we used a new workshop to produce the necessary parts, which was not the case, I think now we can easily make the remaining part now we have the forge. ”

John smiled and thought of Tornwall's answer, ‘I think forging it became very useful after he adapted to it. ‘

He then asked in a serious tone, “How many days do you need to complete the prototype?”

Tornwall thought a little and gave the answer, “It won't take long, I think we can finish it in the next 3-5 days. We can demonstrate its capabilities as soon as we prototype and prepare for testing. “

John heard his guarantee and said to him in a serious tone, “Oke, I am convinced now that you have adapted to the new machines. Report directly after you have finished making the prototype, you do not need to report to anyone else about this project. It would be better if fewer people knew about the completion time of this project. You understand what I'm saying, right? ” John smiled and said to him.

Tornwall is someone who is experienced and understands that John wants to keep this project hidden so they don't reveal their firepower early in their game. After seeing the blueprint he understood the firepower of Ballista and hence gave that comment earlier when he saw the theory behind it.

With an understanding gaze he replied John, “God, you don't have to worry about it, I'll make sure to keep the completion of this project in secret.”

After hearing Tornwall's reply, John smiled and said to him, “When you finish this project, I'll give you a surprise blueprint that will change your thinking about war and how we'll handle strong forces in the future. ”

” I only have one king request, as you know, not many traders come here to trade for high-quality beer and wine in this city and the ones we get here are already of low quality, he said, so I hope you can solve this problem for us all dwarves, “

John thought and gave him an answer, “OK I will check it, However, it will take time. Maybe if you can show better results then maybe I myself will make a good wine that never felt in this world.” John said that with a mysterious smile.

Listening to this Tornwall immediately jerked and went back to work because he knew that the various cuisines introduced in this city were created by John. Hearing this assurance, he hoped to drink wine made personally by John. This little news further motivated him as he was busy with his work.

John then turned to Ryfon and told him about the things he had observed today, “Ryfon, recently you did a good job, he said, After watching this workshop I was quite satisfied with your work. You have to go to the Administration building and help Mayor Sam in building it from now on. And since the cement and brick factory has already started and increased its production, you can use that resource to build large structures. In your spare time, you can search for me because I have some kind of architecture I want to build. However, since I am not free to handle everything myself, I want you to run some projects from start to finish. “

On the mention of new types of design and architecture to build large structures, the, Ryfon is quite excited and he can't wait to finish his work on the Administration building but he also understands the importance of the building as it will represent North-Frontier in the future . This structure will be recorded in history. However, he is still excited as he will be able to use that new resource in building architecture from now on. e Cement and bricks that will increase the solidity and grandeur of the structure.
