Kentji-class
Master Kentji said with a hint of resentment, "Gwenia, I'm your teacher!"
A teacher for a day is a father for life!
So it's not impossible for you to call me Dad... Master Kentji thought to himself.
and,
You invented this phrase, Gwenia! Aren't you going to put it into practice?
The Master Kentji looked at Lin Xiaowei with anticipation.
However, Lin Xiaowei did not want to pay attention to her teacher.
She asked, "You've got some free time again?"
Kentji: "..."
What do you mean by "having free time"?! And yet again!
As a legendary mage, I'm incredibly busy every day, okay? I'm just taking a moment out of my busy schedule to visit you!
Gwenia, you have truly broken my heart!
Master Kentji immediately straightened his face and said sternly, "How could that be? I came here to check on your work progress. By the way, what's the situation now?"
As they spoke, Master Kentji gazed at the distant shipyard. With countless legendary-level spells solidified around him, Master Kentji naturally had a clear view of the shipyard's situation, but he couldn't understand it... Could such tall, large, and heavy Ironclad Ship really float on water? If they could... it looked like magic! Lin Xiaowei replied, "They should all be able to be launched and set sail today. You've come at just the right time."
Master Kentji is very pleased with himself! Of course! Lately, he's been doing a divination every day to see if it's suitable for him to come over!
Otherwise, it wouldn't be right for a Legendary Mage to be running around here all the time! Hearing that they could set sail today, Master Kentji pondered for a while and said, "You said you wanted to build a batch of Ironclad Ship in a cheaper way, but that's not the case right now. The cost of shipyards and shipbuilding here is almost a quarter of the cost of a small Magic Airship!"
Even the smallest Magic Airship is enough to rule a considerable area of the sea! Take the Storm Sea, for example...
Five or six Magic Airship are all it takes to achieve complete dominance!
Therefore, Master Kentji didn't quite understand why Gwenia would spend so much money to build these Ironclad Ship.
Lin Xiaowei explained, "Teacher, we need to take a long-term view. Leaving aside the research and development phase and the later operating costs of the Magic Airship, even considering the mage community, while our strength is considerable, our numbers are still far too few compared to the surrounding Multiverse Planes. Even if using Magic Airship temporarily quells the chaos in the Seven Seas, so what? Does that mean the pirates will disappear?"
Of course not!
Pirates will always exist, but the Magic Association cannot continue to invest its resources in the ocean.
and,
The prevalence of pirates was also related to their living standards.
If everyone lives a prosperous life, who would want to live a life of danger at sea?
The widespread adoption of industrialization and basic education can effectively improve the lives of ordinary races. Even in the early stages, shipyards can create a large number of jobs. Isn't that a good thing? This is the second reason why Lin Xiaowei did these things.
The third reason is a strategic consideration.
After carefully crafting her words, Lin Xiaowei said, "The prospects for this path are very promising; I don't even know where its ultimate potential lies. Perhaps, this will be a great asset to us!"
"Oh?" Master Kentji raised an eyebrow, seemingly lost in thought.
What Lin Xiaowei didn't say was that he already knew what would happen after this path had developed to a certain stage.
Following Hot Weapons, the next direction for development is nuclear energy weapons.
This is the so-called "Praise the Sun"! Tsk! Lin Xiaowei is actually quite looking forward to the scene of "nuclear annihilation"! Then, she'll throw a Tsar Bomba at the Upper Realm God Kingdom! And another one at the Abyssal Purgatory! That scene would probably be quite spectacular! And there wouldn't be any need to worry about nuclear contamination... What would that be like? The Demons Weep.
An angel has fallen!
The entire Main World will witness the trembling of gods and demons during the "Praise the Sun"! Just imagining that scene is actually quite exciting! Master Kentji, seeing Lin Xiaowei lost in thought, couldn't help but call out, "Gwenia, what are you thinking about?"
Lin Xiaowei: "No, it's nothing."
The Master Kentji is heartbroken...
Why is my little apprentice so calculating? Even towards her teacher, she's so wary... What kind of trouble haven't I, Master Kentji, seen in all my years? Humph! Seeing Master Kentji's aggrieved expression, Lin Xiaowei couldn't help but laugh, pointing to the largest ship in the dock, "Teacher, do you see that flagship? I named it after you; that flagship is called the Kentji-class.' And I will use your name as a benchmark for future flagships!"
Kentji- class flagship!
Lin Xiaowei smiled and looked at the Master Kentji: "What do you think?"
"Oh?" The Master Kentji immediately beamed. "Great! I agree!"
After all, it's my own disciple's filial piety, hahaha!
Although he is Legendary Mage, his name will certainly be etched in the historical texts of the Mage Guild.
But the Magic Association has such a long history, and many Legendary Mage have emerged from it!
However, very few of them are truly remembered by the world to this day.
For example, there's the legendary mage Santara who pioneered the current magic system, and the legendary mage Saint Thurian who saved many mages from the ruined magic empire and inherited its legacy.
Although Master Kentji was exceptionally talented, he was born in an era when the Magic Association was already renowned. Even though he became Legendary Mage, he never accomplished anything earth-shattering!
This is also because there are too many eccentric geniuses in the Magic Association...
Even if you achieve something, that's normal.
It would be abnormal if they didn't achieve good results!
Therefore, only groundbreaking innovations can earn the respect of most monks.
For example, Gwenia...
It's quite shameful to admit! His reputation as a legendary master doesn't even compare to that of his own disciple!
This is true both in the secular world and within the Magic Association!
In the past, when people introduced Gwenia, they would say, "This is Gwenia, the beloved disciple of the Mystic Sage Master Kentji." Now? People say, "This is Master Kentji, the teacher of Gwenia, the creator of the Magic Network!" It's really hurtful!
but,
Those old fogies in the association were already incredibly envious of him! Now he has another thing that makes those old fogies envious!
The name of the first armored flagship will be recorded in the Magic Association's historical annals! Master Kentji was naturally overjoyed! He excitedly took out a projection crystal and said, "I'm going to record this and show it off when I get back!"
The way she acted was just like a daughter who bought something nice for her Dad and was showing it off to the neighbors! She was so happy! Lin Xiaowei also smiled and said, "Okay."
so...
Those who are envious will throw money at the company to buy the naming rights!
With their own teacher promoting it like that, the advertising effect is amazing!
It's not just about what the teacher would think if they found out... um!
The teacher won't find out!
Lin Xiaowei pursed her lips, just like Li Da Yao, and made up her mind—she would never let the teacher know in this lifetime!
