Siri didn't expect Murphy to suddenly shift the topic to himself.

For a moment, Murphy didn't quite grasp what he meant and asked in surprise.

Do I need a car?

He wasn't quite sure what kind of car Murphy was referring to.

"How did you manage to load all that stuff?" Murphy pressed.

Although Siri didn't know why Murphy asked this, he still answered honestly.

"Please trouble Chief Goblu's tribe to help us move to the main road. We have our own horses and livestock to transport the animals, and we can eventually cross the Kulun River by boat."

"Are the horse-like beasts fast?"

Before encountering the horse-like creatures brought by Lynn and his companions, Murphy didn't have much of an impression of these creatures.

"Its speed is much faster than that of ordinary people, and it can easily travel three or four hundred kilometers a day, but it can't be called fast."

The main advantages are their strong endurance, large size, ability to carry heavy loads, and stable footing, making them suitable for long-distance treks.

After Siri finished explaining, what came to mind was something like a handcart or wheelbarrow, which needed a power source to pull it.

They would simply engrave some runes or similar symbols on it to reduce weight, ensure stability, and so on.

But then he suddenly remembered the machine at the Gobru camp, and realized that Murphy was not the same as ordinary craftsmen.

Suddenly I asked myself if I needed a car...

So, is this kind of car also automatic?

An automatic car?

Siri does have a memory of such a thing; it seems he's seen it among both elves and dwarves.

However, what the elves call a vehicle is more like a creature that looks like a vehicle and can be used to carry people.

The dwarfs' side should better match his impression of Murphy.

He thought for a moment, then asked another question.

"So, Mr. Murphy, what do you mean by that car?"

However, Murphy ignored it for the time being.

Siri just mentioned climbing mountains and crossing rivers.

Murphy thought for a moment and decided that, given its current design, crossing the river would be out of the question.

Climbing mountains can indeed be quite troublesome.

Cargo trucks aren't like wheelchairs; they can't just float or fly around at will.

Not all truck drivers are at the lord-level like Will.

Its vehicle runs alright on flat ground.

Murphy couldn't build a road in every place, so he had to research a new vehicle.

However, what it needs to do now is upgrade the furnace and then make planting vehicles for Goblin.

One thing at a time, if you suddenly ask it to research a new vehicle, it won't be able to figure it out for the time being.

Moreover, given sufficient power, wheels are one of the most suitable structures for flat terrain that I can think of so far.

Therefore, on flat ground only, wheeled vehicles are irreplaceable.

The paths to the Stone Golem Cave and the Goblin Swamp are relatively flat, so it doesn't matter.

We'll have to see how things are going on Sri's side.

Murphy asked.

Is the road from the main road to the pier level?

"The terrain is fairly flat. The middle section is about 200 kilometers long. With loading and other miscellaneous items, it will probably take exactly one day."

"That's fine then."

Murphy nodded.

"I'll get you a car. If the road is smooth, it should take less than two hours to get there."

When Siri heard Murphy cut the time down to only two hours, he wondered if he had misheard.

I checked it again.

"Within two hours?"

Murphy nodded.

"Yes, two hours."

Having received Murphy's confirmation, Sri frowned and asked:

"Our resources aren't abundant, and if your car can really deliver in two hours, we might not be able to afford the price..."

Murphy shook his head

"You can send people to help me deliver goods. You can use the car normally, and you can give it back to me when you can afford to pay me."

"Isn't this a bit too much...?"

Siri hesitated for a moment. Murphy's offer was almost like giving them a car for free.

This statement, "We'll pay you when you can afford it," doesn't even specify a timeframe.

Isn't it entirely up to them when to pay the fees?

Is this considered a perk of partnering with Murphy?

They didn't even make a totem pole.

Has Murphy already started working?

Is it really necessary to be that dedicated?

"Thank you for your help!"

Lynn, who was standing nearby, had initially just been listening to the conversation with amusement and didn't care at all.

Hearing Murphy suddenly say that it would take two hours to get to the pier, he immediately lost his composure.

If it takes two hours to get from the main road to the pier, then it should take about the same amount of time to get to their villages.

No, there are such good things?

"Wait, wait, wait, wait!"

Taking advantage of the pause in their conversation, he immediately asked Murphy.

"Mr. Murphy, could you sell us another one of those cars? We should be able to afford to trade it in with you!"

"One car? You want one too?"

Murphy paused for a moment, then began to ponder.

Lynn thought that Murphy's production speed was not fast enough, and was also afraid that she would steal Sri's goods, so she quickly explained.

"Well, it's not necessarily the case that we need it today. If it's inconvenient for you, we can wait a month or two."

However, Murphy simply confirmed it again.

"One?"

Lynn was a little confused when she heard this, and nodded subconsciously.

Seeing Lynn nod, Murphy didn't discuss the price and simply turned and went into the workshop.

"Huh?"

Sylph rubbed her chin, watching Murphy's departing figure, then kicked Lynn's shin and casually made a guess.

"You mean Mr. Murphy was actually asking you how many cars you wanted? And after you replied with one, he went and built them?"

Upon hearing this, Lynn's expression stiffened, and he instinctively wanted to refute it by incorporating the opinions of ordinary craftsmen.

"A car that can move on its own shouldn't be able to move this fast..."

He hadn't finished speaking when his words caught in his throat.

After a few moments of thought, I recalled the forging speed of Murphy that I had just witnessed.

Surprisingly, Sylph's words made some sense!

So he rushed forward a few steps and shouted into the workshop.

"How long does it take Mr. Murphy to build one?"

Murphy paused in the workshop for a moment, then replied.

Two hours.

Lynn raised an eyebrow. How could it be two hours?

So, after building the Siri car, we'll build our own. Will it take 4 hours?

He quickly calculated the time, and then asked Murphy the Great.

"Would it be alright for Mr. Murphy to make three cars?"

"Can."

"How long will it take?" Lynn breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Murphy's agreement, but still asked.

However, Murphy gave the exact same answer as last time.

Two hours.

Lynn was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Sylph and Siri behind him. They, like Lynn, had confused expressions.

This one takes two hours, so why do all three still take two hours?

"Why don't you just wait two hours? It's such a hassle."

Sylph cursed impatiently, then grinned and reached out to throw Lynn away.

"If you don't believe in Master Murphy, then get lost and give me the credit."

Lynn's expression immediately changed, and the confusion on his face instantly turned into a desire for achievement.

"Look at you, old woman! I've always had complete faith in Mr. Murphy's cooking!"

"Tsk, humans!" Sylph snorted coldly, turned her head away, and ignored her.
