Chapter 251
"I'm going to submit the task . " Dudian looked at him and said: "What about you?"
Bernard was stunned: "Submit the task? The tasks were released today . You! . . . Did it take you half a day to complete it?"
Dudian replied . : "The task asked to improve the 'snake crossbow' . I have an improved version . I just don't know if it will meet the requirements of the task . "
"Improved 'snake crossbow'?" Bernard saw two crossbows on his shoulder . He was stunned . : "Is it the first time you have received such a difficult task?" Bernard saw the puzzled express on Dudian's face so he continued . : "It is one of the most troublesome tasks out there . The task itself is not high level but the creator's student Tiffany is a problem . If there is no good or little change then she would even deduct points . !"
Dudian's brows wrinkled but he didn't reply .
"Is this your improvement? The shape seems to be very different to the 'snake crossbow' . " Bernard looked at him and smiled . : "This is a fundamental change . It would be very hard to pass . You should go and recreate it . "
Dudian shook his head . : "No! I improved this to serve public rather than the person who would be examining my product . " He went towards the Temple as he finished talking .
"I'll accompany you," Bernard said and followed behind dudian .
There were more than dozen figures in the mission hall of the Temple . Some were selecting tasks while the others hanging tasks or modifying them . One of the counters were used to sell materials to architects . They could be bought with points . If the task failed then not only they would deduct points but the materials purchased for completing the task would be lost too .
It was made this way to maintain the level of usage in the Temple difficult . This way gaining a firm foothold in the Temple would be only through hard progress . After a significant contibution was made then architects could move up a level, get a medal or became a master .
"I am here to submit the task . " Dudian came to stop in front of a counter . There were no people queueing in this counter . However the people who stood by the other counters to receive the tasks were lined up . All of them looked at Dudian .
A chunky middle-aged man frozen the moment he heard Dudian's words . He looked up and asked . : "You want to submit the task?"
Dudian nodded in confirmation .
The chunky man blinked his eyes . During his work-time in here he had only seen three times when the task was submitted on the first day of release . He sat up . : "Give me task notice and results . "
Dudian handed over the notice card and two crossbows .
Middle-aged man looked at crossbows and then at notice card . : "Alright . The task was to improve the 'snake crossbow' . The audit time is one to three days . You should go back, I'll give you a notice when the result is out . "
Dudian nodded slightly .
Bernard looked at Dudian as he submitted the crossbow . : "I wish you could pass the task . "
Dudian didn't reply .
Dudian came over to commercial district after leaving the Temple . He went through some shops to get metal materials . He was ready to create his second item - the lightning rod .
Time flew by .
In the blink of an eye two days passed .
On this day Dudian was fiddling with lightning rod in his room which was meant for wood element . There wasn't a furnace for melting which caused him to manufacture the lightning rod very slowly . He had to go back to his castle for smelting . However the tools in his research room were excellent . He had used them to mold it .
Knock! Knock!
Sound from the door echoed out .
Dudian stopped the work in his hand and approached to open the door . He looked out and saw a youth wearing apprentice knight of light's uniform . There was an envelope in his hand . Dudian asked: "Is it the reply for the task?"
The youth was a bit nervous as he saw Dudian . : "Yes, yes . "
Dudian took the envlope . : "Thanks . " He shut the door and opened the envelope . He took out the letter and read the content . There were lots of polite words but the meaning was straightforward . : "Unqualified!"
Dudian's eyebrows lifted as anger surged in his heart . He knew from Bernard that such a thing may occur but he still hoped for a rational answer . He hoped that they would understand the value of his military crossbow . Although it was not a surprising development but there was a great progress . Apparently other side couldn't appreciate the value of this military crossbow . Otherwise there wouldn't be such a result!
Dudian's eyes turned gloomy as he opened the door and quickly went down the stairs . He walked towards the mission hall of the Temple .
The apprentice knight heard the footsteps and looked back . He saw Dudian coming quickly and there was anger on his face . He was stunned as his legs trembled . However soon he found that Dudian wasn't looking for him . The apprentice knight's heard was relieved .
Dudian's eyes swept away the mission hall . He went towards the counter and found the chunky middle-aged man . The man was reading a book . He stated with an angry tone . : "I want a review! I don't agree with the audit of the examiner . "
Chunky middle-aged man was stunned but immediately recognized Dudian . He frowned . : "Audit is done by a senior architect . You should go and check your own problems . "
Coldness flashed by Dudian's eyes as killing intent radiated off him . : "There is a provision that if I'm not satisfied with the review result that I can debate in the Temple! I have the right to see the examiner!"
The middle-aged man saw Dudian's 'cold as knife' eyes . His face slightly changed . : "I will give you the notice, you should go back . "
Dudian looked at him coldly but did not say anything . He turned and left .
The chunky middle-aged man found that there was a bit of cold sweat in his spine after Dudian had left . He hesitated for a bit but took a stack of stationery form the drawer and began to quickly write .
Ninth castle . Temple of Elements .
A woman was sitting on the third floor by the desk . She was sorting out the information about her research . The conditions of a senior architect was much different to an intermediate architect's . Senior architect would get a separate building in the castle . The environment would be quiet . There would be noone else to do experiments on different rooms so they wouldn't be disturbed by anyone .
A pigeon flew through the window and stood in front of the woman . She took out the letter and read it . The original calm face slightly changed . : "Not convinced?"
