Chapitre 597: Tom's Workers

Flam takes Xin to a dilapidated house, Xin thought that maybe Tom is sick that's why he is resting at home but it's not.

From the life aura inside, Xin can feel 2 adults and one young life aura, they are all healthy based on Xin's finding.

It's pretty impossible for them to get sick, then a single thought comes inside of Xin's head, maybe Tom's Worker is in this place.

Flam looks at Xin and explains," Don't think about it, actually our company is not as rich as you think, we don't have our own building and facility."

"We only have this dilapidated building as our headquarters."

"Why? If I'm not wrong, you guys are expert Shipwright, why can you guys don't even have money to afford a decent base?" Xin asked.

"Well, Tom-san said that this house is enough, so we accept the reality, all the money we got from our job is used to buy expensive materials," Flam said.

"That's why I only used scrap materials a little while ago because I don't have money to buy," He said.

"Well, for me it's fine to use scraps if you really don't have enough money to buy what you want," Xin said.

"But don't worry, in the future, I will get money and build my own dream ship," Flam said while thinking about what kind of ship he will build in the future.

When the two of them come inside Xin sees the one who he is looking for, a fat Fishman sitting on the table while looking at a piece of paper.

Tom was a long-horned cowfish fish-man who was known as the most skilled shipwright in the world and the head of his own company, Tom's Workers.

Tom was a large cowfish Fish-Man, with short horns and a yellow body. He had markings under his eyes, black spots on his neck near his gills, sharp teeth from his lower lip pointing upward, and a white beard.

White, curly hair also sprouted behind his neck from under his brown bandanna, and his large chest was covered by an unbuttoned light-blue shirt with a blue pattern on it.

He had a relatively small lower body in comparison to his large upper body, and he wore brown pants and simple boots. He also had a tattoo of a flowery design on both of his shoulders that is similar to the Jolly Roger of the Sun Pirates.

There is also a not so beautiful woman standing behind him, she sees Tom's assistance, even though she looks young Xin can still recognize her because of a certain funny incident.

Kokoro, an icefish mermaid, the "lovely" secretary of Tom and a matronly figure to his two apprentices, Iceberg and Franky.

Right now she is still not fat, she is pretty slim and tall wearing a white shirt and dark blue slacks, and that smile that never leaves on her face.

"Tom-san, you have a quest," Flam said.

Tom and Kokoro turn around and see a delicate child following Flam, even Iceberg looks confused about why a child like him is trying to find Tom.

"Hello I'm Xin Fei," Xin politely said.

"Hello child, I'm Tom, welcome to Tom's Workshop, how can we help you?" Tom said.

"I came here just to personally hire you as my exclusive Shipwright," Xin straightly said what he wants, he doesn't have the time he needs to go to the Tea Party after this.

"Exclusive Shipwright? Child, are you joking ?" Tom asked.

Flam did not expect what Xin said, he only thought that he would ask Tom to be his master or teach him how to build a ship.

"I'm not joking Tom-san, I'm really here to hire you," Xin then passed a piece of paper from knowing where Tom.

Tom doesn't know what's written on it, but Kokoro still takes it, she slightly looks at the content and dazes seeing what's written on it.

"Tom? Is that true that the World Government is going to take you?" Kokoro seriously said.

"How did you know?" Tom suddenly dazed, that problem is the thing that he is trying to hide from them, he is confused about how Kokoro knows it.

"So it's true? And you only have a couple of days left before the take you from us?" Kokoro sadly said, she knows what this means, the World Government already couth eyes on him.

For sure, they will take him by all means if necessary, after all, his skill is enough to make everyone in the world acknowledge him.

"Then look for yourself." Kokoro passes the paper to Tom.

Tom takes it and looks inside of it, the thing that particularly attracts his attention is the benefits of joining Xin.

...…...

1. Pardon to any kind of crime you commit except to a heinous crime like rape, killing, and so on.

2. Full protection of the guild if ever you are endangered.

3. A facility for your own, complete with equipment, materials, and resources that you need on a building ship.

4. Special privilege accessing the Guild's Library.

-Blacksmith Guide

-Inscriptions Guide

-Magic Book Guide

5. You can get any precious materials you need, for example, Sea Stone or Adam Wood Treasure Tree

6. You can take any people you want to take as your assistance if ever you need it.

7. Lastly is, you can see the blueprint of the Flying Ship.

...…...

"Flying Ship? Are you sure?" Tom's attention is currently on the last benefits, he knows that you can possibly make a flying ship but you need the right technique to make one.

"Do you want to look?" Xin said.

"Are you sure you want me to look at it? You still don't know if I'm going to join or not," Tom said.

"I'm not worried if you copy it, after all , you will never make a flying ship because I have the technique on making it," Xin then took out the blueprint of the flying ship that he made.

Tom takes the blueprint and looks into it, seeing how detailed it is and the engraving circle that Xin uses to make Tom's head start to hurt.

He now understands what Xin means, even though he doesn't understand almost 75% of it. After all, the whole ship is made from Magic materials that this world doesn't have.
