Starry Sky of the Magic Tower

Because it was too late to arrive in Waikato Town, a group of people found a hotel with a warehouse and stables. After setting up the two carriages, they went to the most famous town in the town. A tavern in, while dining, he also dealt with some airship owners by the way.

The name of the tavern is called’airship’. It was modified with a pod under the airbag airship. Jiu Hall Master is a retired boat owner. Together with his wife, he built an airship that he has built. However, after a long period of use, the airship that has been unbearable to continue to fly has been transformed into the main part of a tavern. business. As the business gets better, buildings are constantly added and scaled up.

Don’t look at the work flying in the sky that seems dreamy, but it’s actually very dangerous. There are really very few people who can live to retire. After a long flight, Hall Master chose to retire with the airship he built, which is something that many younger generations admire.

In addition, he is willing to impart experience, and he is also an excellent mechanic. When the airship parked here needs manual maintenance on the ground, he will occasionally ask him for help.

Over time, the number of airship-related personnel going to and from this tavern has increased. The tavern eventually even became an occasion for intermediary related businesses in Waikato town, and its business model was similar to that of the adventurer guild. They even formed an airship guild by themselves, but it was just a form of mutual aid association. There were not too many restrictions and the scale was not large.

And the airship tavern tonight is full of people. The boat owners and sailors who were unable to set sail here ate, drank, chatted their teeth, and passed the time without flying work.

After simply filling his stomach, Lin and Uzov looked for a waiter who was a part-time receptionist at the bar, and inquired about the employment of airships, as well as the relevant procedures and procedures for the designated destination. cost.

As for the fact that Uzov was not completely taken care of, it was because the two parties belonged to two groups after all. Obtaining information from Uzov is already a bit too much; if someone even negotiates the employment contract, it will be over the line. Someone doesn’t want to do something like this without a bottom line, not a friend of any degree, can be supported like a slave without any worries.

For the receptionist of the tavern, the question of cost is the easiest answer: please discuss directly with the boat owner. Because the cost of each airship is inconsistent, and the internal costs of manufacturing and layout are also different, there is no set price for how much it should be charged. In the final analysis, the commercialization of airships has not flourished enough to form a consensus standard.

But the tavern can act as a witness and sign a contract after the two parties have negotiated the price and destination to avoid possible disputes in the future.

The destination is Holy City Estali of the Fest Division of the Magician Association. This location can be directly flown without any problems, and it can also be said that this is one of the popular destinations.

Because of its expensive flight cost and the danger of being in the sky, airships are the ones who most often use airships for a long time have long-range attack methods and excellent life-saving capabilities. magician. As for the magician who came to the central area of ​​the maze, Holy City Estali is almost the place to go, maybe even the only place to go. Naturally, Holy City has become a popular waypoint.

As for the first question, is anyone willing to visit Holy City Estali? Yes, and many.

Then is anyone willing to set off’immediately’ and go to Holy City Estali? of course not! Just like the news that Uzov heard before, the reason is that because of the weather, this season is not a suitable season for airships to cross the Jura mountain range.

Even if you personally ask those boat owners who have a good reputation and have flown hundreds of times, no one is willing to venture across the mountain range in this season.

After several inquiries to no avail, Lin and Uzov returned to their table and drank helplessly. For the better, I don’t rush anyway. Moreover, the boat owners who just inquired about also promised that as long as the spring is warm and the wind on the mountain slows down, they can set off to Estali anytime.

This time of waiting stays in Waikato Town, just to settle down and sort out the various gains on this journey.

As soon as I made my calculations, I saw a pair of goblin father and daughter in full costumes approaching the entire group with a strange smile.

It seems that the other party is the civilized species among the goblins. But to be honest, when someone was growing up in the Southwest Peninsula, they had the most contact with their uncivilized close relatives. Suddenly saw the two civilized goblins, their appearances were similar to their close relatives, and they were a little uncomfortable psychologically and physically, and they almost smashed the two of them with a sword.

As if perceiving a flash of malice in the magician’s eyes, the goblin father and daughter took a big step back, hurriedly raised their hands, and said in fascinating common language: “I have no malice, no Malicious, my lord magician. I am different from those uncivilized savage goblins.” The talking goblins, or the civilized goblins, all know how annoying their uncivilized siblings are.

Knowing that he had made the mistake of judging people by appearance, Lin simply got up, gave a salute, and said, “Sorry, it’s my fault to misunderstand the two of you. Please forgive me. I don’t know if you two came here, yes. What’s the matter?”

After wiping the non-existent sweat on his forehead, the panic expression of the father goblin changed back to the original marketer. He said: “Your Excellency Magician wants to go to Estalí. I am also the owner of the airship. If you have the will, we will have no problem setting off tomorrow.”

Someone also has a lot of doubts. Some veterans who control airships are unwilling to cross the mountain range at this time, but these two goblins are willing. This is… a fraud group? I’m also in love with this set? Or is it that these two goblins want to trick the magician into a dark alley, and then run a bunch of people out to pick up skin or something, isn’t it too unconscionable?

No matter how many civilized goblins, they are still goblins. Or does it mean that there will be other strong races to help? Or maybe… the airships of the father and daughter goblins can really cope with the strong wind of the Jura mountain range at this time? The last point is that someone’s intuition is unlikely, but if you make the mistake of judging people by appearance, do you miss an opportunity?

While someone’s thoughts and thoughts were turned around, the goblin father was self-propelled and boasted, saying: “My airship uses the latest technology of the goblin and has excellent performance. , You can overcome the strong winds on the mountains at this season. Of course, it’s not very cheap to take such an airship. But for your Magician, this small amount of money shouldn’t be a problem.”

Lin decided to give the two civilized goblins a chance and said, “If it’s appropriate, money won’t be a problem. But before signing the contract, I want to confirm. The condition of the airship, make a decision.” May the Force be with you, this goblin friend. Although in terms of official settings, the sword saint is not of the same family as you, but is similar in appearance.

But such a request makes the goblin father and daughter embarrassed. They twisted and said, “Your Excellency, can’t you just sign the contract directly. Let’s do this, I will sign a contract with you at the original price of 9.50%. Do you know the meaning of 9.50%, speaking of which is also The mathematics invented by your magician. Ah, that’s really a good study. Originally, the cost of transporting you to Estali is LXX Kiel (70 gold), and 9.50% means that you only need to collect it. Your LXVIII Kiel (68 gold) is fine, is this a bargain! So let’s sign the contract directly.”

The Old Ancestor of your family’s fascinating mathematics is here, and 95% of 70 is not 68 , It is 66.5. If I am really your math teacher, I will open the door and jump out after getting on the airship to the limit!

But if someone is slanderous in his heart, he still has to do what he should do. So Lin insisted: “No, let’s confirm the situation of the airship first, and then make a decision.”

When the goblin father heard it, he stalked and said: “Let’s go, jump off the building. Big sale, just count your 90% price, one person LXV Kiel (65 gold), you can’t find anyone else at such a bargain price. How about, let’s sign the contract now.” I took out a piece of parchment that had been altered and stuffed it in front of a certain magician.

For this kind of overlord’s hard bowing attitude, Lin directly reached out and grabbed the goblin’s wrinkled, cyan-green rough old face, with a blackened expression, fiercely said fiercely “We are magicians who dare to deal with demons and demons. Why do you have the illusion that we will easily sign any contract before confirming everything. It’s too late today, the sky is dark, and nothing can be seen. . Tomorrow early in the morning, we confirmed the airship’s condition, when the time comes everything else, is it okay? This Mr. Goblin who doesn’t know his name yet.”

“Yes, yes. Sorry, please Forgive me.”

In the early morning of the next day, in front of a strange-looking airship on the grassland. It was an air-bag type airship, but the ratio of airbags to pods was much smaller than that of a general airship. And the shape is not a symmetrical and coordinated shape, just like a broken balloon doll tied up in a mess with thick cables, big on one side and small on the other.

Because of the irregular shape of the airbag, it is suspended in an unbalanced posture. In order to fix the pod horizontally, the cables at different positions have different lengths. Nevertheless, the pod can only be maintained in a slightly inclined hanging state, rather than being completely horizontal.

And in order to display the proud propulsion mechanism, the goblin father and daughter opened the mechanism. Even if it is not running at full speed, the mechanism that emits a harsh rumbling sound is constantly emitting black smoke at the mouth of the pipe. In this way, several sets of propeller blades are driven, including the first two, one on the left and one on the left, four sets of smaller blades, and two sets of backward, larger blades.

The design seems to be very advanced, but it does not pay attention to symmetry and balance at all, making the entire airship look top-heavy and uncoordinated.

The goblin who calls himself Totokani Avstein triumphantly said: “Your Excellency Magician, this is the assembly of the most advanced technology of our clan, consuming a lot of rare materials and manpower, and doing my best. The high-quality airship that he built, the Hindenburg.”

The man in front of him looked at everything in front of him with dead fish eyes, and he turned his head and left without hesitation, even a little bit of courtesy, regardless of his companions. There is no plan to say.
