1068 He Is A F*cking Human Search Engine

“He really is a cook!”

All the engineering staff’s expressions began to get a little weird. Even though the steam engine locomotive was designed by Mag, they still felt a little queasy having a cook instructing them in their profession.

Mag knew very well what they were thinking, but he wasn’t very concerned. He was just too lazy to waste too much time there. If he rushed back now, he could still go to the information agency to check on the information on Lantisde.

It seemed that Scheer wasn’t at the base, so he could only come up with the solutions himself.

“Alright. Thank you for making this trip.” Bourell took the sketches and arranged with his people to send Mag back. His gaze was totally attracted by the sketches in his hands.

Although they were just sketches, the lines and labelling were still stringent.

Bourell was looking at them seriously, and his eyes began to light up slowly.

Did he really make any constructive suggestions? All the engineers thought as they looked at Bourell’s expression.

Those problems had been bothering them for many days, and they still couldn’t find any substantive solution, yet Mag found the solution simply by just looking around?

“Genius! Mr. Mag is really a genius!” Bourell praised as his hands trembled with the sketches.

An engineer couldn’t help but ask, “Chief, did he really come up with a solution to solve the problem of derailing at the bend?”

Bourell spread the sketches out on a table and waved everyone over. “Not just about the derailment at the bend. There is also the tilting of the cabin, improvement on acceleration... Mr. Mag’s suggestions were all on point. All of you, come and take a look.”

All the engineers came forward and studied the sketches on the table carefully.

“Reduce the energy of the magic spell formation appropriately. Reduce the levitation height of the cabin. Convert the aft wheels of the cabin into side roller wheels that are parallel to the ground. Separating the locomotive from the cabin will solve the tilting of the cabin after it is levitated...

“The side roller wheels will ensure that the train will not derail, and reduce the resistance to the greatest extent. Moreover, the most important point is that this improvement does not need to change the train tracks at all!

The method of separate connection could also be used for connecting the subsequent carriages. This type of connecting method gave them more freedom, and the soft connection could solve the problem of the train unable to cross the bend for being too long.

“This... is probably what people call ‘genius’.”

The engineers got rid of all their previous doubts. There were only amazement and dejection in their eyes.

Smiling, Bourell said to all of them, “Since we have the solutions now, let’s try to come up with feasible design plans by today.”

...

“I will get off here. I want to take a walk.” Mag alighted from the carriage when it reached the Aden Square.

Lantisde. I wonder if Gina pronounced it correctly. Transliteration of location names has a high probability to be wrong. Mag went into an alley to change his clothes and wore a mask. Then, he proceeded to an information center.

10-odd minutes later, Mag came out of the information center with nothing. He continued on to a second information center.

Mag had gone to almost all the information centers at Aden Square, but he still couldn’t find any information about Lantisde.

Either that place doesn’t exist on the Norland Continent, or it isn’t called that in the continent’s common tongue. Mag changed back his clothes and sighed.

He passed by the Kayson Bookshop on his way back. Mag went in to pick a couple of books as usual. He saw the old bookshop owner lying in a lounge chair when he was making payment. He was alway reading a book in this position whenever he visited; only the book in his hands differed.

“Boss, have you read all the books in this bookstore?” Mag asked curiously.

Hearing Mag, the owner Kayson put down the book in his hands and sat up gradually. He looked at Mag and nodded. “I have already read this book 23 times.”

“In this case, have you read about a place called ‘Lantisde’ in any of the books before?” Mag asked casually.

“Lantisde?” Kayson thought for a while before walking over to the bookshelf.

Does it exist? The eyes of Mag, who was just asking casually, lit up. He watched Kayson remove book after book from the shelves with proficiency before returning to the counter.

“This place ‘Lantisde’ was mentioned in this book once, mentioned in this book thrice, mentioned in this book five times...” Kayson introduced them one by one.

He is a f*cking human search engine... Mag stared at Kayson in astonishment.

After listening to the old owner, Mag pointed to that stack of books. “I will take all of them. How much do they cost?”

The owner did his calculations, and said, “15 books. The total is 620 copper coins.”

“Keep the change, please. Thank you.” Mag passed seven silver coins over before leaving with two bundles of books. He didn’t expect to find the information he needed in the bookshop when he couldn’t find any in the information center.

Back in the restaurant, Firis was cooking Yangzhou fried rice in the kitchen. The colorful ingredients were flying around in the wok, resembling a rainbow.

Anna and Ugly Duckling were sitting in front of the table, flanking Gina who was drawing.

Everyone was engrossed, and didn’t notice that Mag had returned.

Mag didn’t make a sound, either. He stepped forward curiously to take a look.

Gina was still drawing the underwater world, but compared to the slightly oppressive style in the afternoon, the stuff that she was drawing now was more relaxed and interesting.

She used magic to produce different colors. She colored as she drew, and created colors as vibrant as a watercolor painting.

Semi-transparent fishes had a light on their heads. The jellyfishes in a group had their formation broken up by the big fishes. Merfolk was riding on the backs of the fishes, holding tridents in their hands. A strange underwater world was depicted vividly under her pencils.

“Meow~”

Ugly Duckling stared at the schools of fishes and swallowed its saliva.

Gina got a shock and dropped her pencil.

Mag bent over to pick it up.

“Mr. Mag.” Gina stood up immediately.

“You drew very well.” Mag smiled at Gina.

This girl was indeed a genius at drawing. She had just learnt how to hold a pencil, but could actually draw pictures that made people’s eyes light up.

Gina could see that Mag was praising her. She replied perfectly with the common tongue, “Thank you.”

“Who taught you the common tongue?” Mag asked curiously. He was almost done in by her that day.

“Big Sister Gina is very studious. She will ask us to teach her some common words, and she learns them very quickly,” Anna said.

“So that was what happened. Our Anna is a little teacher.” Mag patted Anna’s head with a smile. “Alright, continue with your drawing. I will be reading some books upstairs.”

Mag brought the two bundles upstairs. He put the bundle that he bought on his own aside, and took out a book from the bundle that the owner recommended to him. He sat down and read seriously.

Mag spent the whole afternoon reading through that whole stack of books once.

“The Lost Land?” Mag closed the last book with a thoughtful look.
