On the Seven Towers

A month later, Grote Island has changed dramatically. Various buildings began to spring up on the island like mushrooms after a spring rain. Near the port, they even built a new dockyard, where Jerez and his old brothers resumed their old business.

On this day, Xiao Chen and Luo Ling came to the dock again. Under his watch, the dilapidated Xingtian sailed into the dock with great difficulty. One of its masts was broken, half of the sails were missing, and a lot of the iron coverings on the ship were damaged.

Jerez looked at the ship with distress. This warship, which he had personally participated in the transformation, now looked like a beaten poor man, hobbling on the hospital bed.

Xiao Chen saw his regretful expression and said, "This is still my problem. If I hadn't insisted on stopping the space stabilizer and testing the strength of the ship itself, the Xingtian would not have been so miserable."

Jerez shook his head and said: "No, Chairman Xiao, you are right. We never know what will happen on the sea. And no one knows how those two artifacts work. If they are really used somewhere, At one point they stopped working and all we could rely on were the two ships themselves.

We had achieved great results that day with the magic shield on the ship, sailing in a truly violent sea for nearly an hour. If the shield generator had not failed later, the ship should still be intact. "

Luo Ling frowned and looked at the broken mast, and said with some worry: "From the time when the shield disappears to when the space stabilizer is turned on, there is only about ten minutes in between, and there is also the shield protection of us magicians. The fact that the ship has become like this shows that the current design is still insufficient.”

Jerez said: "This is mainly because our ship is too big. The shield you have deployed cannot cover the entire ship."

Xiao Chen said: "No, our strength is still not enough. When everyone in the Tower of Source fled to the Western Continent, there was more than one saint. That's why they were able to safely send the ship to the other side. Our strength is not as good as Naturally, they have to find another way to change this ship!"

Jerez was confused: "The current modifications are based on the original two ships and have gone to the extreme. These two ships are wooden ships after all. If you want to make the ships stronger, I am afraid they must be made of new materials." It’s a new ship. I’ve read a lot of information about your shipbuilding, but we lack the tools and no one has the experience to build that kind of steel ship. I’m afraid it won’t be possible in a short time.”

"Yes. Maybe I am too cautious. We should choose to trust He Xiaoxi's space stabilizer." Xiao Chen said.

Luo Ling said: "Haste makes waste. Maybe instead of heading west, we should choose to go north first and find the traces of the Forging Tower first. Maybe we can get better ways to strengthen the ship."

Xiao Chen nodded and said: "The things in the Tower of Source may be more important than the Tower of Forging, but you are right. This may really be a solution. I should let Farrell and Sinclair come and talk about it."

————————————————————

Three days later, Xiao Chen met Farrell and Sinclair in the conference room on Grote Island.

Following them here were the alchemist Morey, five dwarf craftsmen, and an entire battalion of dwarf infantry.

"Xiao Chen, are you going to go to the Dwarf Kingdom to look for the Forging Tower first?" Farrell asked loudly, "You called me to this island because you are ready to fulfill your previous promise to go to the Dwarf Kingdom together?"

"Yes. When I had the meeting last two months, I promised you that I would give you the opportunity to return to the dwarf kingdom. Let you use the forging technology developed here and give those who drove you away a chance. Lesson." Xiao Chen looked at Farrell and said.

"Yes, yes! I have never forgotten this! Those short-sighted guys drove me out of my hometown and made my wife die early. I will not let them go easily. I I want those old guys to know that the path I have chosen is the right one. After all these years of experience in China Tower, I believe that even my sons are better than those old guys. Much stronger."

Xiao Chen said: "You will get your wish, but you have to remember that our most important goal is to find the Forging Tower, but humans have almost no way to penetrate into the dwarf kingdom, and our understanding of it is only a little bit. Hearsay, so I still need your help in this matter, I think you still have some friends there? "

"Friends? There should be some." Farrell's voice lowered, "But so many years have passed. I don't know what they have become now. However, as long as I go back there, I will always find a way. "

Xiao Chen looked at Sinclair again and said: "Dwarves are now a very important force in our Tower of China. Except for the Farrell family, the other dwarves are all from your village. I also agreed last time You, many of you should want to go back and take a look.”

Sinclair's thick eyebrows knitted together. He thought for a moment and said, "Chairman Xiao, to be honest, our fathers were all poor people betrayed by the dwarf nobles. Those who have seen the Dwarf Kingdom have passed away. I and the dwarves younger than me don't have any feelings about the Dwarf Kingdom except disgust and hatred. You have to know that our hometown was originally in that valley, and now it is on the territory of the Tower of China. But I believe that if you give them this opportunity, there will still be many curious people who want to take a look. But everything will be based on your orders. I believe that you asked us to come here because some places need our dwarf identity. No matter what the matter is, , we will do it for you. "

Xiao Chen looked at Sinclair with relief and said: "I don't know what will happen there, and I don't have a clear plan. But I always have a hunch that taking you there will be the right choice.

The Xingtian is still under repair. We will take the Houyi to the north the day after tomorrow. I will replace most of the human marines with a dwarf battalion. My planned destination is Crowell, the southern port of the Dwarf Kingdom. Uncle Farrell, what do you think of this location? "

"This port is the main trading port for dwarves and humans, but our ship will probably cause a sensation when it goes there. "

"Sensation? That's not necessarily a bad thing. "Xiao Chen said with a smile.
