Arcane Universe

Feng Chou took a large-scale passenger and cargo dual-purpose magic ship, went down the river, passed five cities no smaller than Antalia, and finally arrived on the fourth day The destination of this trip, Audrick City.

The city of Aldric is located at the confluence of the first river in the Principality of Vita, the Aldric River and the second river, the Sol River. This is a large city with a population of more than 200,000.

The Odrick River and the Sol River both flow from east to west, and the two rivers flowed in parallel for dozens of kilometers before they met.

The city of Audrick is located within a narrow angle before the two rivers converge. The two big rivers are the natural moat of Odrick City. In the upstream direction of the city, a canal that was dug out to connect the two rivers fills the last gap in the moat.

Because of the location, the shape of Audrick City is not a regular shape, but like a small boat, with a sharp bow on the west and a flat stern on the east.

On the north and south sides of Aldric City, there is a large wharf on the Aldric City and the Saul River.

Feng Chou got on and off the boat at the Audrick River Wharf in the south of the city and rented a carriage and went straight to the central square of Audrick City.

The central square of Aldrick City is located west of the city’s east-west axis. This is because Aldrick City has undergone several expansions.

Because of the limitation of the two rivers, the city can only expand eastward, and eventually the original urban center will become more and more westward.

This change can be seen from the several canals in the eastern part of the city that cross the city and connect the two rivers of Odric and Sol. These canals were actually used by the city of Odrick. The eastern moat.

Audrick’s central square is a circular square with a diameter of several hundred meters. In the center of the square is a huge statue of a dragon riding a dragon. The statues all around are distributed with very neatly manicured gardens and numbers. A magic fountain.

Around this square are the most important buildings in Audrick City.

among which is included Audrick City Hall, City Council Hall, Arcane God, Knowledge God, Nobility and Knight God, Commercial Goddess, Temple of Other Gods, and Academy of Audrick Mage .

Feng Chou stopped the carriage on the southwest side of the square, on a street beside the Master School.

He stayed in an upscale hotel on this street.

Two days later, Feng Chou, looking disappointed, came to a small square outside the back door of the Master’s School, where several airships parked.

The appearance of these airships is very similar to the airships that Feng Chou has seen on TV or the Internet. The only difference is that there is a gap between the balloons above these airships and the pods hanging below them. The ratio is about 2:1, and the balloons of the airship on Earth are much larger than the pod, and the ratio is even more than 20:1.

The smaller the ratio of the balloon to the pod, the more stable the airship will naturally be, and the less the influence of the weather will be.

It’s not that the Earth people are unwilling to reduce the ratio of balloons to pods, but because the balloons are too small and the pods are too large, the balloons cannot provide enough lift and the airship cannot be lifted.

I don’t know how people resolve this contradiction in this magical world.

Feng Chou walked to the side of the airship, and Universe Pagoda quickly scanned the entire structure of the airship.

Looking at the scan results of the Universe Pagoda, Feng Chou couldn’t help but slap his tongue. This airship is simply a large-scale magic equipment.

The shuttle-shaped balloons above the airship are all made of pieces of demonic beast leather after being strengthened and connected by alchemy to form a whole. The whole balloon is inscribed with “strengthening” and “tenacious”. “High temperature resistance” and other alchemy arrays, two magic constant arts provide energy for these magic circuits.

A hard skeleton is attached to the outer surface of the balloon. The skeleton is made of a lightweight alloy. The quality is less than the one third of steel, but it has extremely high strength. This skeleton also has Spell reinforcement such as “sturdiness”.

The skeleton and the lower part are connected with the pod of the airship as a whole, so that the whole airship forms a rigid frame, which can keep the original shape even if it falls on the ground.

The airship’s pod looks like a big ship. The entire cabin is made of magic wood, with alchemy arrays such as “reinforcement” and “fire prevention” inside. It uses magical constancy to provide energy and the strength of the magic wood itself. With the enhancement of magic, its strength is even far higher than that of steel essence plates of the same quality.

For such an airship constructed entirely by alchemy, Feng Chou couldn’t estimate his price at all. No wonder the airship ticket price is so high.

Feng Chou is also unimaginable. Such a complex alchemy product is said to be a goblin invention.

In fact, what Feng Chou didn’t know was that although the original airship was really the invention of the goblin, now this product that has undergone countless alchemy transformations has already had the same as the original goblin airship. different as heaven and earth.

These airships belong to the Academy of Master Odric. It is said that each airship needs a master of level eight or higher to serve as the captain, and seven or eight low-level masters and more master apprentices to serve as crew members.

Under the enthusiastic guidance of the courteous flight attendants, Feng Chou boarded the airship.

Different from the female flight attendants on Earth planes, the service staff on the airships are all young and handsome young men.

This airship is more than fifty meters in length and ten meters in width. The space on the ship is divided into 4-Layer. The upper three floors belong to passengers, and the lowest floor is the dormitory of flight attendants and the warehouse of the airship.

There are three floors for passengers, two of which are under the deck, and one is in the fore and stern towers above the deck.

The operation room of the airship is located at the front of the bow, where the captain and pilot are concentrated.

Guests are forbidden to go up to the decks on the top of the fore and stern towers. There is an artillery deck on which there are more than a dozen bronze artillery pieces. The barrels and mounts of these artillery pieces are engraved with spell Circuits, obviously, they are also alchemical products.

This kind of magic artillery requires a low-level mage or mage apprentice, and several artillery to serve.

Feng Chou’s guest room is on the 1st floor below the deck, near the bow. This is an upper class cabin with an area of ​​seven or eight square meters. In addition to a bed, there are desks and seats. Simple furnishings such as clothes hangers and wash racks are far more comfortable than airplanes in terms of area. Of course, the price is much higher than airplanes, which is a full 800 kronor. In terms of purchasing power, 800 kronor is almost equivalent to The 80,000 Renminbi on Earth is not something ordinary people consume at all.

This is also the characteristic of this World’s alchemical civilization. Some aspects are more advanced than the industrial civilization on Earth, but its popularity is far less.

The Second Layer below the deck is an ordinary cabin, and the ordinary cabin is much more crowded and narrow. A cabin similar to Feng Chou needs to squeeze four people. Of course, the fare is only 1 of the upper class cabin. /4.

The guest rooms in the fore and stern towers on the deck belong to the first-class cabin, which is twice as expensive as the upper-class cabin.

There are not many first-class cabins on the airship, only a dozen, and the rest of the space is for guests to consume and entertain.

There is a luxurious restaurant at the back of the stern tower, and the front half of the stern tower is an entertainment hall that provides pubs, gambling, performances and other services.
