Haibo waved his hand and said, "Don't ask me how I am, tell me about you."
Obviously, the old man had heard that Andre's treasure hunting group had an accident, and he wanted to know their comfort.
"I heard that Andre's ship had an accident, and I thought I wouldn't see you, a violent girl.
Where is your father? How is Andre, the violent boy?"
Listening to Haibo's words, Sofia was a little embarrassed.
Arka learned from this that Sofia might have been really violent when he was a child, which left a deep impression on the old man.
I didn't expect Andre to be a violent boy when he was young?
Sofia replied: "The treasure hunting group was destroyed, but my father is still safe, only one arm is broken."
"Broken arm... Oh, Dahai... But it's good that he is still alive, so that he can live here peacefully."
"His contribution should make him a regional bishop."
Hai Bo said with some sighs and some helplessness.
Then he suddenly thought of something, patted his head, looked at the two people and said embarrassedly: "I seem to have gone off topic, this is what happens when you get older, who is this young man?"
Hearing Hai Bo's words, Alka immediately stepped forward and stretched out his hand to shake his hand.
"Hello, my name is Alka, and I used to be a member of Andre's treasure hunting team."
"Oh, Alka, then this ship is..."
Hearing this, Alka smiled and said, "This is my ship. I would like to ask your shipyard to help me repair it."
Hai Bo Bo looked at the dilapidated ship, walked over with a cane, stretched out his rough hand, and touched the rotten and dilapidated hull on it.
"This ship has been through a lot. The whole body has been corroded by the dark elements."
Looking at the ship, Hai Bo Bo turned around and waved his hand, asking those ordinary craftsmen to retreat.
Then he took the craftsmen behind him, who seemed to be his apprentices, onto the ship, and asked the two to come up as well.
"It's safer here. You should know the situation of your ship. It's a ghost ship."
Arka nodded. As a descendant of a shipbuilding family, he could see it at a glance.
"She should be a little short of it. Can you... well, I mean can you help her complete the last step?"
Hai Bo's wording was a little cautious, but the meaning was expressed.
Arka nodded. He knew that Hai Bo was talking about whether he had treasures and whether he could help the ship take the last step and officially become a ghost ship.
After all, he was a master of the shipyard. Knowing this information should be helpful for repairing the ship.
"Yes, that's good. Then there are more options."
Hai Bo was obviously relieved.
Then the old man took the apprentices behind him and began to look around the whole ship, measuring here and there with various magic tools.
Aerka and the other man stood on the deck and watched them busy.
While measuring, Hai Bo also taught the apprentices behind him.
The tone and intonation of the curse did not sound like an old man at all.
The apprentices were scolded so much that they could only nod.
They were busy until late at night before they finished.
Haibo put away the measuring tools and returned to the deck with the help of the apprentice behind him.
Looking at Alka, he said: "For this ship, I have two plans. You can choose which one."
"The first plan is also the most basic plan. We will replace the entire ship in an all-round way, retain the most core keel, and repair it according to the highest level of spell ship.
The advantage is that it is convenient and fast, and the materials used are relatively cheap."
"How cheap is relatively cheap?" Alka couldn't help asking curiously.
"2000 to 2500 gold sails, which is already very cheap. Because it is an order from the Archbishop, no labor costs are charged, only the most basic material costs."
An apprentice behind him also said: "If labor costs are charged, the price will have to double again."
"..."
Hearing this, Alka and Sofia were silent.
According to Alka, an ordinary and relatively low-level spell ship probably needs several hundred gold sails.
For example, Andre's ship is worth about 600~800 gold sails.
But after all, it is the property of the church, and it should have been manufactured from this shipyard, so the price should not be the normal market price.
And that is just a medium-sized spell ship.
I didn't expect the price of spell ships to be so different.
But looking at Hai Blog and the expressions of the apprentices behind him, it seems to be really cheap.
2000 gold sails, what an astronomical figure? And it would be doubled if the labor cost is included.
That is to say, if you buy it outside, you may need 4000 gold sails or more.
Maybe the supply cannot meet the demand, after all, not every shipyard can manufacture this level of ship.
In the world of the ocean, ships are strategic resources.
From this point of view, the top-level spell ship is definitely something that you can't buy even if you have money.
Arka couldn't help but turn his head and look at Sofia.
What he wanted to know was how much the treasures they brought out of the Dark Realm could be sold for.
Sofia looked at his eyes, understood what he meant, and stood on tiptoe to whisper in his ear: "It is roughly estimated that it can be sold for about 4,500 gold sails."
Hearing this, Alka's eyes widened.
So they brought out so many treasures?
He had been frantically looking for treasures, but he had no specific understanding of the amount of treasures.
So he was already so rich.
Turning around, he asked without hesitation: "What about the second plan?"
Now that he is rich and wealthy, he wants the best.
"The second option is that we use special means to strengthen and melt the usable parts of the entire ship and the part where Enlightenment's soul is located into a stronger keel.
This requires a special ritual and the help of the church's priests.
Then with the help of materials, we will rebuild a ship according to the specifications of the top-level spell ship.
After all, the forging technology of this ship and The spell patterns are all from 600 years ago, and are already behind the times. The advantage of this is that it is more malleable, and can be customized to suit your needs.
The disadvantage is that it is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and requires more money. It will take more than half a year to complete, and it will cost about 4,000 gold sails, purely for material costs. "
Not only is it bigger and better, but the price has also doubled.
The main thing is that the wealth does not belong to me alone, but to me, Lucilia, Sofia, and Pororo.
It's just that I account for the majority.
Turn around and look at Sofia.
Sofia, who knew what he meant, said directly: "I'm fine."
"Me too!" Lucilia said, shaking her hand.
The talking doll attracted the attention of several people, but they just cast curious eyes.
As for Porro, he must be fine.
But he can be asked later. The three people present now have a total wealth of 4,000 gold sails.
Thinking that they still have one year to go, and they have to complete the task given by the archbishop.
But the most important thing is to ask the music ship itself.
He patted the main mast.
"Good girl, which option do you want to choose?"
Two elegant tones came.
Obviously, she likes the second option and wants that refreshing feeling.
Since the ship has chosen the second option, what is there to hesitate about?
"Okay! Let's go with the second option!"
Arka gritted his teeth and said forcefully, fearing that he would regret it.
Haibo smiled and nodded.
"No problem, then you can leave the ship here. You need to give the functions and layout of the ship you want in the next few days.
Then we will draw up a design plan and start manufacturing. As for the payment, we will deliver it after the forging is completed."
"Now you can go back. Come back when you have thought of your own customization requirements. Then we will sign the contract."
Arka nodded.
Then he thought of something, and a stack of information appeared in his hand and handed it to Haibo in front of him.
"This is what we got when we sailed in the Dark Realm before. Sofia said it was related to your family."
Hai Blog took the data and checked it after hearing this.
A smile appeared on his face.
"Although the technology is outdated, it has a very important commemorative significance for our family. Thank you."
"I will do my best for your ship and I will definitely satisfy you."
Arka nodded.
Then the three of them said goodbye and left, following the road behind the shipyard and returning to the villa.
On the way, Alka couldn't help asking, "Can Sofia really sell so much? It will be embarrassing if the money is not enough."
"Don't worry, you have to believe in my vision and means. 4,500 will not be more or less."
Hearing Sofia's confident words, Alka nodded with relief.
Chatting all the way back to the villa.
From a distance, the yard of the villa seemed very lively, and Bobby's heroic laughter could be heard.
Several people opened the gate of the yard and walked in.
"You guys are back, what took you so long? I can't wait for you, so the barbecue party will start."
Jason looked at the three people and said, holding a long string of skewers in his hand.
"It's abominable that they started without waiting for us." Alka said with a smile, and then hurried over.
The Lucilia doll on his shoulder returned to its original state and fell off. Alka caught it and hung it around his waist.
Moments like this are the most annoying moments for Lucilia, and she will go into the magic mirror to rest.
Alka didn't have any good solution.
She could only shake her head helplessly.
Looking at Porro who was chewing a large piece of barbecue, he said: "Porro, the treasures we got before may be spent on the manufacture of ships. Are you willing?"
Hearing this, Porro waved his hand casually: "It doesn't matter, you can decide."
He concentrated on chewing the barbecue in front of him, and said to the old Bobby next to him: "Although you have a strange temper, your barbecue skills are really good."
"You damn fish man, you have good vision."
Speaking, Bobby raised the wooden wine glass in his hand and clinked it with the wine barrel in Porro's hand.
"Cheers to the food!"
"Hahahaha."
The temporary barbecue dinner dispelled the fatigue and grief in my heart.
Laughter, singing and wine soothed the tired soul.
......
It was not until noon that Alka rubbed his head and got up.
Fortunately, his physical condition was good, otherwise he drank so much last night, and it was already very good that he could get up today.
After washing up, he came to the living room.
The doll on his waist went away early in the morning.
After a while, Jason and the others woke up and chatted in the living room.
Porro came back from outside. As a fishman, the sea is more suitable for him.
He was not used to resting in the room of the villa.
However, Julia didn't seem to have such a problem. As long as she had Alka's humidifier, she didn't care much.
Compared to fishmen like Porro, mermaids seem to be more human.
At this time, Sofia also came down from the second floor, holding the doll Lucilia in his hand.
Looking at everyone, everyone was there.
Alka clapped his hands and said, "Do you have any personal needs for future ships? You can say it now. I'm going to sign the contract in a while."
Hearing this, everyone sat over with interest.
Listening to Alka briefly telling them about his simple experience in the shipyard yesterday.
By the way, let them answer their respective requests.
First, Porro said casually: "There must be a room that can touch the sea water, and a room for exercise. It would be better if there is a sea tank."
After hearing Porro's request, Alka wrote it down directly. As for whether such a problem can be completed, he didn't care.
They just need to give suggestions.
Hearing that some of Porro's requests were a little absurd, everyone became bold.
"I want a library. It would be best if plants can be planted in the library. It would be even better if trees can be planted."
Lucilia climbed onto Alka's shoulders and sat on it and said.
Are you here to plant trees?
However, Alka still wrote it down on paper. Who cares? Just ask as much as you want.
"Then I want a drawing room, um... and a big bathroom, and preferably a sturdy treasure house... That's it."
Hearing Sofia's request, Alka nodded. This request was much more reasonable.
Jason thought hard for a long time before he said his request: "I want a shooting range where I can practice shooting, a safe ammunition storage and gun manufacturing room."
"Then I want a karaoke room that won't disturb others, and a personal room, half of which should be able to be freely filled with seawater."
Alka recorded everyone's requests on paper one by one without any deletion or modification.
Then he added his own requirements at the end.
Extra empty rooms, double-layer artillery armor, fully automatic control of loading and firing.
It must have the function of automatically identifying attacks and turning on shields when encountering attacks, and it must be able to dive and be strong enough.
… Well, a large refrigerated storage.
Then a large captain's room should be made like a conference room.
Another mechanical manufacturing room should be constructed according to the standards of an engraver and a foundry engineer.
Finally, some strange functions were added.
Looking at the list in his hand, he nodded with satisfaction.
Sofia watched curiously from the side the whole time.
After seeing Alka finally finish writing, she couldn't help but look up and look at him with a strange look.
She felt that even if the good-tempered Master Haibo was so good, he might beat him up.
"Can these requirements really be realized?" Sofia finally couldn't help asking.
"We only need to make requirements, and it's their business to worry about which ones can be realized and which ones can't be realized, and which ones should be realized as much as possible."
A party A of Alka, righteous and aloof.
Then he took the customized request to the shipyard.
With the guidance of the service staff, he came to the office of Haibo.
At this time, Haibo was writing and drawing something on a huge drawing paper, and Alka did not disturb him, waiting quietly beside him.
Looking at the composition on the drawing paper.
It should be about the improvement plan of the music ship, which can still be seen from some clues.
Alka was not in a hurry and watched quietly beside him.
Until a long time later, Haibo seemed to have completed a small stage of work, nodded with satisfaction, and raised his head to look at Alka.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Aerka shook his head: "It's okay, I'm learning too."
Hai Bo nodded with a smile, a very polite child.
Then Aerka walked up and handed him the opinion sheet in his hand.
Hai Bo took it with a smile, and when he looked at the opinions on it, the smile on his face changed from brilliant to smiling, then solidified, and finally stiffened.
Aerka stood by, with a polite smile on his face.
Hai Bo raised his head with a stiff expression and looked at Aerka in front of him.
He decided to take back his previous evaluation, this child was not polite at all.
"Grandpa Hai Bo, can you meet the requirements above?" Aerka directly changed to a close address.
"Do you think it can be achieved?" Haibo asked.
Arka nodded: "After all, it is the best shipyard in the world. I have full confidence."
"Haha."
Hebo shook his head helplessly, pulled Arka, and began to make choices based on his opinions, and gave Arka a plan for reference to see if they could reach an agreement.
Although the request was outrageous, as Arka said, this is one of the world's top shipyards after all.
According to some of the opinions given by Haibo, Arka sometimes nodded, sometimes shook his head, and sometimes argued with him.
They talked from noon to dusk, and finally to night.
Haibo slapped the table breathlessly.
"That's enough, let's do it, it's decided, don't give me any more suggestions."
Looking at the old man in front of him panting and looking like he was about to suffocate at any time, Alka quickly shut up.
He ran over and stroked the old man's back to help him relax.
"Sign this damn contract now, and come back in half a year!"
Alka signed the contract with a smile, and was then driven out by the old man.
"Oh, why are you so angry? It's really amazing that this is the shipyard of the church."
After half a day of discussion, almost all the requirements above were met, and Alka took the opportunity to raise a few more opinions.
It's perfect.
