Chapter 35 Tom
.........

"Boom boom boom"

"clang clang"

On the shipbuilding site, there was a lot of traffic, the voices of people, the rumble of motors, and the sound of labor chant, forming a rough and enthusiastic symphony. This labor symphony resounded through the earth and spread everywhere.

The most important thing to miss when you come to the capital of seven waters is the shipyard. After all, the capital of seven waters is famous for its shipbuilding.

Bernard came to the shipyard to look around, wanting to find Tom the Murloc and meet this legendary figure.

At this time, a middle-aged man in blue work clothes, a white towel over his shoulders, a hammer in his hand, and a cigarette dangling from his mouth walked over.

The big man asked Bernard and his party loudly: "Hey, are you here to repair or build ships!?"

Because the capital of the seven waters builds ships for pirates very frequently, and has also been infected with some pirate habits, there is a ruffian in his voice.

Bernard didn't care about the casual and disrespectful tone of the big man's speech. After all, he was hiding his identity now, and the big man didn't know that Bernard was from Tianlong.

"I need the best boatman in the capital of seven waters to help me customize a boat." Bernard said politely.

The current Tom is not as famous as he will be in the future, and the identity of the murloc is a bit sensitive, so Bernard didn't directly ask for Tom the murloc.

Instead, he changed his mind and wanted to find the best boatman in the capital of seven waters.

The big man stared at Bernard up and down carefully.

Although he is young, his imposing manner is still inviolable. There is a calmness and indifference between his brows that does not belong to this age. It also makes him a bit more mature by wearing a suit and a black bow tie.

Behind him were three maids and a guard-like man.

This kind of person is not a noble young master, but at least he is a son of a rich family.

Feeling that Bernard and his party were not here to make trouble, the big man replied: "Wait a minute, I'll call for you."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and yelled at a boat in the field, "Tom! There's a big deal here!"

Bernard followed the big man's line of sight, and saw fat yellow-skinned murlocs with horns jumping out of the ship nimbly.

It was Tom the Murloc when he was young.

Although the current Tom is not as famous as later generations, but with his excellent shipbuilding technology, he should have a good reputation in the capital of seven waters.

Bernard asked Hawke to call out the best boatman in the capital of seven waters, just to bet on whether this person was Tom, but Bernard was really bet on it.

"Hawk, where is the famous big business you mentioned?!" Tom the fishman asked loudly to the big man.

Big Han Hawk pointed to Bernard and his party, and Tom the Murloc also saw the extraordinary Bernard.

Bernard didn't feel surprised that the boatman was a murloc, and took the words: "Is this the best boatman in the capital of seven waters? I have a special boat here. I wonder if you can build it."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and Bai, who followed behind him, also handed a black leather case to Bernard.

"Here are the design drawings of the ship." Bernard patted the box.

Tom was aroused by Bernard's words, and pondered: "Come to my studio and talk about it!"

After talking, Tom took Bernard and his party to a small house next to the shipyard.

Tom walked in first, followed by Bernard. When Bernard stepped in, he turned his head and said, "You guys wait outside now."

Bernard didn't let Xiao Lan and the others follow in, and Big Han Hawk was also stopped outside the room.

As a boatman, Hawke was also a little curious about the blueprint that Bernard said, so he followed suit.

After being stopped, the big man Hawk didn't intend to force his way in, so he turned around and left.

Anyway, if the deal is finally reached, he will also participate in the shipbuilding, so there is no rush.

Bernard closed the door, leaving only Tom and Bernard in the room.

After the two sat down, Bernard opened the box and took out the design drawings and handed them to Tom.

"This is design spit!"

Tom took the blueprints and flipped through them carefully. While flipping through them, he kept making noises: "Wonderful, what a resounding design!"

"Well, here... here... the design is resoundingly ingenious."

This design drawing is exactly the design drawing of Sky Island Ark. Bernard copied a copy and brought it out from Sky Island, and the original version is still in the residence of God on Sky Island.

About 10 minutes later, Tom put down the design drawing in his hand, and said regretfully to Bernard: "I'm afraid I can't build this ship."

Bernard asked: "Is there something wrong? Master Tom."

Tom replied: "There are three points. First, this ship needs a lot of gold to build. We don't have any."

"Second, we don't have the decibels described in it."

"Second, the power of the ship cannot be solved."

"Then can you modify this design drawing? As long as I can retain its flying ability, that's enough."

Bernard did not intend to completely copy the design drawings to build the ark, more because Bernard wanted a flying vehicle to travel to the sky island more easily.

It is too inconvenient to go to the empty island now. It is troublesome and dangerous to rely on the rising current all the time. If you build an ark, you can solve this problem.

This ship Bernard intends to use it for transition, and it will be useless after Bernard builds the ideal sky fortress.

So as long as this ship can fly, it is the most important thing for Bernard now.

Tom thought carefully for a while when he heard Bernard's request, and Bernard waited quietly without disturbing.

After another 10 minutes, Tom said, "If I only keep the ability to fly, I should be able to do it."

"However, it will take a long time. In this way, you give me half a year, and after half a year, you will come to me to get the boat."

Bernard was overjoyed after hearing this: "Then please master, please use the best materials, don't be stingy, I will pay no matter how much it is."

"This is [-] million Baileys, let's take it as a deposit!" Bernard said while taking out another black suitcase, which was handed over to Bernard just now.

Tom opened the box and took a look. Stacks of white bills were neatly placed in the box.

After looking at Tom for a while, he accepted it without paying too much attention.

The reason for agreeing to Bernard to build this ship was more because of Lie Xinxi, seeing the design of such a strange ship, as a boatman, it is inevitable to itch.

Now Tom has not built the "Oro Jackson" for Roger, and it is also an honor for Tom to build a ship like the Ark.

Other than that is Bernard's attitude. As a murloc, Tom is very sensitive to other people's attitude on this land.

From the very beginning, Bernard didn't show any discrimination against murlocs, and Tom's first impression of Bernard was not bad.

After the main purpose was determined, Bernard discussed some specific details with Tom.

After a full hour, Bernard came out with Tom smiling.

The two walked to the entrance of the shipyard together, talking and laughing along the way, like friends for many years.

"Then come here. I will pick up the boat in half a year. If there is any accident, please contact me." Bernard took out a phone bug and handed it to Tom, and then left.

Afterwards, Bernard went straight back to the ship and did not visit other places in the capital of seven waters. He immediately set sail and continued to Gaya Island.
