After getting the contents of the next assessment from Master Segna, Xilu Tia was not in a hurry to start taking action.
"Is there any fun place in Cheris, Mishir District?" After getting up early, she sat in front of the dressing mirror and asked.
Cheris dressed as a maid answered while tying the girl's hair.
"I don't know, you can ask Baya." The Baya she said is one of the members of the Inspection Department. After work, she likes to go shopping and try local food.
"After reading the information for a month, I really don't want to continue working so soon." Sylutia looked at herself in the mirror. After combing her black hair, Cheris tied her up with a blue tie as usual.
"It's good to take a vacation and rest." It's rare for Cheris to agree, since this person has always been a workaholic.
"Oh, Cheris has changed his gender." Sylutia put his hands under his body, shook his legs lightly, and waited for Cheris to tie up his hair.
"Because Miss has been very hardworking and serious recently, and I am not that harsh." Cheris also shook his head. He didn't know when his reputation became like this. It seems that other team members will be more restrained when they see her, and rarely relax.
"Then Cheris, come shopping with me today." Sylutia saw that her hair was done and stood up.
"Okay, miss." Cheris responded in a standard maid manner.
Afterwards, the two walked out of the mansion.
It is now the end of summer and the weather is not so hot, but Cheris still prepared an umbrella for Sylutia and walked beside her.
The two of them walked on the street, Sylutia curiously glanced at the shops on the street, looking at each one.
Like many prosperous cities, there are clothing stores, jewelry stores, bookstores, etc. with exquisite windows. As a prosperous area in the east of the Alliance, Mihir has high-end shops that are rare in small places. The exquisite clothing and accessories sold in them can reach up to the fourth level, and a set is often worth thousands of gold coins.
Many nobles from remote countries will come here to buy their favorite things, and those skilled artists, fashion designers, gem carvers, etc. will also gather in such a prosperous area.
"Are there many prosperous places like Mishir District in Cheris, the Alliance?" She was a little curious.
"There shouldn't be many. Even if the Alliance's vast area is taken into account, Mishir District can still be ranked within the 30th place.
L
Cheris answered.
"In the top 30, how high does Thetis District rank?" Although Sylutia has lived there for a long time, he spends most of his time in the Academy and rarely goes out for shopping.
"Thetis District is definitely within the top three." Cheris replied.
"You should have seen the Chamber of Commerce headquarters there selling Fifth Order creations and materials, and such shops are almost impossible to see elsewhere."
"Fifth Order's treasure can already be regarded as a national patrimony for some small countries."
"That's right----" Sylutia thought for a while. It seemed that she really had a set of luxurious clothes with quality above Fifth Order. They were specially designed and made for her by Dorothy and a group of the Woodland masters before she left the Woodland.
I didn't realize it at the time, but looking back now, I feel like it was the best clothes prepared for my daughter before she got married, even though she was not getting married but studying abroad.
"Let's go in and have a look." After recovering his thoughts, Sylutia stopped in front of a clothing store.
When I walked into the store, I felt a blast of cool air-conditioning. It turned out that this store had specially prepared cooling facilities.
Seeing the guests coming in, a girl wearing a green and white uniform walked over quickly.
"Welcome." She guided the two of them into the store, and then asked Sylutia what kind of clothes they needed.
"I'm just curious, so I came in to take a look." Sylutia replied. His pair of black eyes like smoke and jade, paired with soft and moving eyebrows made the clerk temporarily absentminded.
Even though the other party made it clear that she might not buy clothes, the clerk could not show any signs of slackness or dissatisfaction. It seemed that everything this girl said was right. Just seeing those eyes made people willing to do so.
"It's okay, you can see any set you want." The clerk then took the initiative to introduce Sylutia.
"This red woven sleeveless dress is made of coral silk imported from Harp Flower Union. It is sewn with gold woven silk inside. When there is light, it will reflect a golden halo. It matches the original crimson skirt (#ee7959) and is particularly beautiful."
The store clerk introduced a set of dress with "Level 3, Excellent" quality. This set can be said to be the highest quality dress in the store.
Then Sylutia looked at other products. There were not only clothes, but also matching hats, sun hats, veils, silk gloves, scarves, ribbons, stockings, shoes, shawls, as well as decorative folding fans, pendants, small mirrors,
Headbands, etc.
Compared with what I saw in Sylutia, the overall quality and design beauty are one or two levels better than what I saw in Quebes.
It seems that there are differences between regions.
She was not very interested in these things. After all, she had seen more luxurious and beautiful things when she was a child, so she was a little indifferent.
However, after being away for so long, even though the other party is not her real family, Alanfude·Griffin is her uncle in name only, so it seems that she should send something back as a gift. Anyway, she is not short of money now.
Thinking of this, Sylutia changed his mentality and started to select several people from the Griffin Family.
Mrs. Haye is thin and older, and is not suitable for wearing too light clothes. Sylutia thought about it and chose a long dress made of deep sea blue gauze, and then bought a set of jewelry, a folding fan, and matching high heels.
"Pack these, I want to give them to an elder." Sylutia told the clerk.
"Yes, Miss." The other party saw that Sylutia suddenly changed his temper and wanted to buy something. He was excited and immediately took action.
After that, Sylutia looked around again, thought about it, and bought the red woven sleeveless dress recommended by the previous clerk, and then also selected matching hair accessories, necklaces, bracelets, and shoes for it.
I will give this set to Eliel, my nominal cousin.
Sylutia While waiting for packing, the store door opened and a new customer arrived. Similar to her, the customer also brought a maid, wearing a complicated and embroidered rococo-style deep pink fluffy dress.
After walking in, the other party couldn't wait to speak.
"Where's the clerk? If you have any new styles recently, please show them to me." She shook the folding fan in her hand, her expression slightly irritable. It was obvious that she came here to buy things, probably to vent her accumulated emotions.
Hearing her call, another clerk in the store hurriedly came out of the back room to receive her.
"Okay, Miss Brie, please come this way, I will introduce you immediately." Then the other party walked past Sylutia.
Perhaps out of some kind of curiosity, after passing each other, the young lady in a complicated rococo dress looked back to see who this black-haired girl was.
"Unfamiliar face----" the other party muttered, then didn't pay much attention and continued walking forward.
A few minutes later, the clerk who had previously received Sylutia packed the clothes and jewelry and brought them to Sylutia again.
"Miss, please see if you are satisfied." She opened the lid of the box and let Sylutia watch.
"Okay, that's it. How much is the total?" Sylutia nodded slightly.
"A total of 1,262 gold coins, including two sets of third-level dresses, six matching accessories, and two pairs of exquisite shoes."
"I understand." Sylutia raised his hand, and Cheris behind him took out the gems and gold coins he was carrying and went to the front desk to pay.
In the distance, Brie, who was choosing clothes, heard this and was a little surprised, then came back.
"Did you buy so much?" She looked at the things Sylutia selected and suddenly smiled.
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say it." Then he waved his fan and continued to choose new clothes.
After paying the bill, Cheris picked up the packed bag and walked out of the store.
After that, Sylutia went to another store that sold men's clothing and accessories, and picked out one set for each of Uncle Alanfude and Ecol. The four sets cost a total of about 2,500 gold coins.
Taking these back to the residence, Sylutia found a team member and asked him to help mail these things back to Quebes next to Meteor Lake.
"I understand, Master Hedra." The other party said he understood.
After doing this, Sylutia continued shopping with Cheris in the afternoon, but this time he did not go to the commercial street, but went to the riverside of Mishir District. There are many scenic spots there, and you can also take a boat in Hanoi for sightseeing.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Sylutia was sitting in a small white wooden boat, twirling the parasol on his shoulders with his fingers, admiring the scenery along the river, and occasionally heard tourists and passers-by talking on the shore.
The gentle river breeze blows away, taking away some of the heat and making people feel a little comfortable.
The environment here is really nice, no wonder there are so many tourists, and occasionally you can see people from Harp Flower Union.
Sylutia Close your eyes and feel the gentle and quiet of the summer wind, and time passes slowly.
Three days later, Sylutia, who had a good rest and played for a while, finally got motivated and started to take on the second assessment assigned by Master Segna.
"Speaking of Steam Locomotive making, which workshop did Master Segna tell us about?" Sylutia thought of business.
"You chose the Flying Bird and the feather-shaped Mocking Sparrow among the five models." The person responsible for assisting you is Mishir District Sheria Workshop." Cheris replied.
"Take me there."
--
"Yes." Cheris then informed the members in the mansion, and soon a team of about twenty people set off to Sheria Workshop, No. Inkpot Street 65, Mishir District Industrial Zone."
Half an hour later, Xilu Tia got out of the car and stood in front of the workshop gate.
After a brief announcement, a workshop supervisor soon came out to greet him, and then led Xilu Tia and his party into it.
This workshop covers a large area, including two large workshops and five small and medium-sized test sites. The sound of mechanical operation can be heard not far away.
Not long after Xilu Tia was welcomed to the special reception room to sit down, the person in charge of the workshop came over with several technical consultants and Mage.
"Welcome, Lord Hedra." The other party first saluted respectfully and politely, and then raised his head.
"Hello, I am Master Segna's new assistant. This time I received the guidance of Master. I hope to cooperate with you to develop and create a new model of Steam Locomotive." Sylutia explained the purpose of his visit.
"Sir, we have received notification of what you have said. Now please listen to our introduction to the current situation." After speaking, the person in charge asked the consultant on the side to take out the information book and began to explain to Xilu Tia.
Their workshop has a resident Fifth Order mechanical field expert, 14 fourth-level senior technicians, and more than 100 formal Alchemy technicians, scholars, Mage, etc.
"At Mishir District, our strength can probably be ranked among the top ten." The person in charge of Sheria Workshop proudly introduced.
"So you were responsible for producing Steam Locomotive of the Mockingbird" series before?" Sylutia asked.
"Yes, we have been producing this product for a long time. Currently, no one can compete with us on Mishir District." In fact, the output of this product is not high, and it is true that no one is competing with them.
Then comes the visit to the workshop production process. Different personnel are responsible for different links, including body frame casting, parts production, rune carving, embedding and assembly, debugging and running-in, accessories installation, decoration, post-testing, etc. After the entire process, an average of about 80 Mockingbird" series Steam Locomotive can be produced per month.
The finished Mockingbird" Steam Locomotive has the overall appearance of a swooping Flying Bird, with an indigo wing-protected body on the side, and a front like the head of the Flying Bird. It has beautiful streamlines and a rear-mounted engine. It can glide briefly during acceleration, overcome obstacles, cross rivers, etc. Its speed ranks among the top Steam Locomotives of the same grade.
Unfortunately, there are not many racing enthusiasts in the world. For most people buying Steam Locomotive, speed is not the first consideration. Safety and stability are the most important.
After the visit, Sylutia felt generally confident.
It seems that the difficulty of the second assessment this time has increased a lot. Without the cooperation and assistance of this workshop, she would have to do all her own thinking and establishment of workshop research, and it would probably take a year to prepare.
After understanding the general process, we started to refine and improve it bit by bit.
In the next week, Sylutia stayed at Sheria Workshop, silently recording and calculating the situation of all links in his heart, and then gradually understood where Mockingbird" series Steam Locomotive was.
Two weeks later, Sylutia had gone through the process in his mind and then officially started taking action. At this time, the personnel who had been lurking at Sheria Workshop also began to observe and record the girl's movements, repeatedly looking for some kind of trickery.
However, when they first prepared Memory Gem to record something, they were caught by the Inspection Department members who followed Sylutia.
Since it was difficult for people to defend themselves because of the stolen goods, these people quickly exposed the person who commanded them under the interrogation of the Inspection Department.
Only then did Xilu Tia realize that the other deputies might be the biggest resistance and test to this operation.
