Chapter 612: I'll be a good man
A ship without sails appeared in the dock of the queens factory.
As the ship was painted with wood texture, it looked like an ordinary wooden ship. Madeleine and number 2 didn't tell any of their subordinates the detailed information of the ship, but told them that there was a ship that encountered a storm last night and was dragged back to the ship factory. It was now waiting for maintenance.
In this way, no traitor would spread the information.
Madeleine didn't even transfer it to the navy, because no one knew if there were any spies arranged by Jonah.
Shell just let the huge steel ship float quietly in the dock in Lost City.
That evening, it was time for Robb to talk about the fees with the queen.
Robb sat lazily on his stone stool and looked at the crystal ball. "Miss queen, you have received the steel warship. It's time to calculate the cost with me, right?"
The queen had long known that the damned man was a man who wanted money desperately. It was impossible for him to build the warship for free, so she had already been mentally prepared. She said calmly, "well, how much does it cost?"
"I won't tell you the whole number immediately. Let's do the same calculations," Robb said with a smile. "First of all, calculate the material cost. More than fifty tons of steel, a ton is one thousand kilograms, and a kilo is about the price of an iron ingot. You know the price of an iron ingot. You can calculate it by yourself first."
The queen was rendered speechless
Judging from the cost of the materials, the queen sensed that something was wrong.
Robb said, "next is the cost of making the short cannons, the magic items, the steam engine, the fees of the dwarf craftsmen, the chimney, the wheel, the gear, and... These things have been used countless times and I have roughly calculated it for you..."
The queen pounded the table and said, "you're asking too much. It's clearly black money."
"Is it?" Robb said, "or you can do the math out by yourself."
The queen turned to the secretary next to her and winked at him. After a while, the secretary finished calculating and handed the queen the list with his trembling hands.
"No!" Robb suddenly put on a serious face, which was rare to see. "If you are a bad person, you may be able to get many slaves who will work for you for free, but you will also lose someone's help at the same time."
"Whose?"
"Mine!"
The queen was rendered speechless
The eerie silence lasted for a few seconds. Robb had thought that the queen would thump the table and say, "you have never helped me before. You will take my money."
But in fact, the queen didn't say anything. She thought quietly for a while. After about thirty seconds, she suddenly showed her face and smiled. This smile was extremely beautiful, making her face more beautiful.
She smiled and said, "then I'd better be a good person."
"Wow!"
"If you say one more word, I'll change my mind and be a bad guy."
Robb smiled and said, "it's not that you can change it as you like. Once your three values are formed, it's difficult to change them."
The two of them were separated by the crystal ball. They looked at each other quietly and had nothing to say for a while. After a long time, the queen said, "I'm tired. I'm going to bed."
"Well, go ahead," Robb didn't say anything strange, but comforted her in a soft voice, "there is much support for justice, but there is little support for injustice. This momentary difficulty doesn't mean anything. As long as you walk on the right path, you will definitely take the final victory."
"I hope so!"
