Reject me, hateful woman

"I, I miss you..."

Lin En hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth and said:

"I want your six-pack of thick metal pipes,"

Metal tubes, or six, do you have those?

As soon as a question mark appeared on Holly's head, she heard Lynn continue:

"I miss your machine-controlled trigger and magic-charged magazine. I also miss your liquid-cooled cooling device and your stylish figure."

"I wonder if it's time for you to return the Maxim drawings I left in the classroom?"

Holly:.......

Did you think it was because of this kind of thing?

Chapter 106: You want to invite me? 4.8k

"About those drawings, Lynn Norton, I have something to ask you."

When the topic shifted to strange objects, Holly regained some of her senses and her expression became slightly more formal.

"Ask your own questions, Master Holly. Also, you are someone I have always admired. Just call me Lynn."

Hearing these words, Holly couldn't help but feel a little carried away, but when she thought of those strange objects, she pushed back all her thoughts and asked instead:

"Did you also design the prototypes of your sister, Princess Nolavier's strange objects?"

"Novi?"

Lin En thought for a moment, then nodded shyly,

"It was just a temporary idea between a brother and sister when they were young, and it would actually come true one day. To be honest, I didn't expect it, but whoever can make things like those childhood dreams must be a pretty outstanding wonder. Master, ah, Master Holly, I mean, a little inferior to you."

Sure enough.

Holly couldn't help but said in her heart.

After hearing Lin En's explanation, she couldn't help but smile:

"There is no need to be so formal between you and me, Linn, and what if I say that the maker of those strange objects is me?"

Holly's tone couldn't help but be a little complacent, and Lynn in the crystal ball showed a shocked expression as expected:

"What are you talking about, Master Holly? You mean that the person who perfected those drawings into strange objects for my sister is actually you... No, it should be said that this is really the case. You have the ability to perfect it." Those messy designs and materializations can only be done by Purple Golden Flower’s best magicians.”

Although she was extremely happy in her heart, Holly still maintained a calm attitude, because she told Linn that those things were just foreshadowing, and her real purpose was behind it.

After a slight pause, Holly said slowly:

"So, Xiao Linn, after learning about those things, are you interested in having your new work reproduced?"

"recurrent?"

Linn blinked in confusion.

"Haha, yes, reproduction. I am very interested in your new work, that little thing called Maxim, but with your technical skills, it should not be enough to completely perfect and reproduce it. You We need a good magician."

Holly felt that she was simply a genius. Lynn had imagination, but lacked technical skills and the ability to perfect drawings. Then he had to have a magician with these two things to help him, and the best in the whole Zijinhua The magician was right in front of him!

If he was willing to ask for help, I would reluctantly help him.

However, it is not free, it requires some small price~

"Yes, my technical skills are currently not enough to even improve those drawings, let alone reproduce them physically."

Lin's tone was a little low, and he continued as Holly wished:

"So, I really need a good magician to help me."

"Yes, so who is she?"

Holly felt like the answer was about to come out.

"Of course it's Elena-san!"

"Then I'll just do it...Elena?!"

Holly was confused.

"Yes,"

Lin En nodded seriously,

"Elena is undoubtedly one of the best magicians around me. Moreover, she has extremely outstanding potential. It is a good proof that she can be recognized by you personally."

"Also, Elena's level as a magician has been improving by leaps and bounds recently. Of course, this is thanks to Master Holly's teachings. Although it is still a little difficult for the time being, I think it won't be long before Elena can try to start. ....."

"enough!"

Listening to Lin's talk and continuous praise of Elena, Holly finally couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the other party. After seeing the confusion and confusion in Lin's eyes, Holly realized that she was a little too impulsive. .

She coughed lightly again and said:

"Xiao Linn, what I mean is that there seems to be a note in your drawings. Maxim's single power can at most suppress the level of low-level arcanists. Only when used in conjunction can the real power be exerted, right? .”

"Is such that."

Lin En nodded and said with regret:

"It's a pity that Elena-san can't do it on a large scale for the time being..."

"Cough cough!"

Holly interrupted Lynn again.

"Master Holly, is your throat uncomfortable?"

Lynn wondered.

Holly really couldn't bear it now, and she didn't know what expression to use to express her mood at the moment.

It must be admitted that Holly accepted Elena partly for Lynn's sake at first, but after getting along with her for a period of time, she still really liked her and seriously cultivated her as her heir.

However, the disciple he trained actually snatched a man from him at this time... No, what the hell is business!

Although Xiao Linn is very smart in some aspects, in other ways, he is simply slower than himself and cannot let the topic deviate further and further from expectations.

Holly decided to hit the ball straight!

"Xiao Linn, are you interested in cooperating with me to reproduce your drawings?"

Lin En, who was originally confused, was finally completely shocked when he heard this.

"Is it really okay with you, Master Holly?"

But he immediately showed an apologetic expression:

"I'm sorry, Master Holly. After thinking about it carefully, I'd better forget it."

"Why??"

Holly really couldn't bear it. She couldn't accept that she had recommended herself so straightforwardly and yet she was still rejected.

"The cost of hiring a master like you is too high, and I can't afford the material costs for making a large number of rare weapons."

Linn couldn't help but lower his head, like a child who had done something wrong.

And after hearing that it was for this reason, Holly couldn't help but laugh:

"Don't worry, Xiao Linn, these are just minor problems. I said this is not employment, but cooperation. I am also very interested in your drawings. If you don't mind, just give me the drawings. , as a reward... As for the materials, I will take care of it."

"Really? Thank you so much, Master Holly!"

Holly nodded helpfully:

"It's nothing. I'll contact you when the first batch of physical objects is produced."

With that said, the communication between the two was cut off, and Holly couldn't help showing a headache expression after the impulse.

Damn, I’m so excited!

In fact, the fact that there is no production fee is actually good. Being able to get Linn's novel drawings to make and improve them is also a good learning experience for an elf like Holly who is obsessed with making strange objects. Chance.

Moreover, Maxim’s production was not too difficult, and Holly was even confident that she would complete it without making any mistakes.

But the material gave her some trouble.

As one of the best magicians in the empire, she is certainly not short of money. The hiring fee for making a random item is enough for Holly to obtain wealth that ordinary people cannot spend in a lifetime. The trouble is the materials.

The materials needed to make one or two units can be easily taken out from Holly's inventory.

You must know that what she promised Lin En to build was not a Maxim, but a machine gun array, at least dozens of them.

With such a large amount of materials, normally you can ask the people in the Magical Treasures Association to help you collect them, but now the Magical Treasurers Association is in such a state that it is very difficult to keep it from being paralyzed. It is even more unrealistic to ask the other party to help you collect materials for you.

Suddenly, Holly frowned slightly, her headache-like expression disappeared, and she returned to a calm look.

"Haha, Master Holly, you are here, it is really easy for me to find you."

A middle-aged man with a big belly, wearing a black dress and holding a wine glass, walked into the courtyard. After seeing Holly, he nodded in greeting.

The moment she saw the other person, Holly began to frown.

After meeting Lynn several times, Holly even thought that her dislike of the opposite sex had eased. However, after attending the dinner party of the so-called five major families, she realized more and more that Lynn was the only one who was special. That’s all.

For other men, especially for these treacherous nobles who hide their knives in their smiles, Holly would only feel disgusted.

But thinking about the identity of the other party, Holly still responded calmly:

"What's the matter, Mr. Vaughn? In other words, the reason why you came to this banquet with me is for this moment."

It was the man who was the patriarch of the Vaughan family, one of the five major families, who smiled and nodded:

"As expected of Master Holly, it is as happy as the rumors say. Let me tell you the truth. I only represent the Vaughn family and hope that Master Holly can design a strange object for the family."

Do you want to design your own unique items?

This is nothing new.

"Then, please ask the head of the Vaughn family to describe the requirements."

Holly, who was still thinking about Lynn, said casually.

The head of the Vaughn family did not expect that Holly, who was rumored to be difficult to speak, would agree so readily. His eyes suddenly lit up and he began to describe:

"Then thank you Master Holly in advance. The strange object I want to design this time is a weapon type. It is best to be more powerful and have a longer attack range. If the ring number is low or ordinary people can use it, then it will be more powerful. alright."

After hearing his words, Holly almost scoffed.

Pretty standard and cliche layman speech.

The previous request is nothing, but the last one is simply outrageous.

The greater the power of a strange object, the higher the requirements for its users. Isn't this common sense?

Ordinary people can just carry a musket in their waist.

Just when Holly was about to reject the head of the Vaughn family, her eyes suddenly lit up and she remembered something:

"Master Vaughn, your request seems a bit difficult, but I seem to have a work in hand that meets your requirements."

The head of the Vaughan family, who was already prepared to be rejected, suddenly lit up, and an expression of surprise appeared on his greasy face:

"Really? As expected of Master Holly, I dare not hide it from you. In fact, before inviting you, I also asked some other magicians to design, but they were rejected as a matter of course. Sure enough, it was just These mediocre people who are inferior to you are just looking for excuses."

"yes,"

Holly responded perfunctorily and asked:

"Then Mr. Vaughn, would you like to take a look at the design drawings first?"

"Do you actually have blueprints already?"

The head of the Vaughn family was extremely pleasantly surprised.

Holly nodded and handed Maxim's drawing to the other party.

She was not worried at all that the Vaughan family would plagiarize the design.

In fact, Linn's drawings are more like concept drawings than design drawings. Linn, who was just an ordinary person in his previous life, certainly could not design a prototype that perfectly matched the machine gun in his memory. Therefore, he only made a rough drawing. The frame and some necessary designs of the Maxim machine gun.

As for most of the details, Lin basically left them blank or filled them in by randomly drawing some parts, and drew them with the mentality of "I am thinking about what I am doing".

Even Holly herself needed a lot of improvements and redoing before production, not to mention the head of the Vaughan family who obviously knew nothing about the design of strange objects.
