Ilya lowered her head to look at the blueprint in her hands and fell into thought for a moment.
Ron had slowly worked out this blueprint in his spare time over the past while.
The design on it was fairly neat, and all sorts of details were presented convincingly.
Though it could not compare to a professional blueprint, it was enough for people to understand what it depicted.
