Chapter Thirty-Four: There Is No Danger
It didn't take long to board the magic airship, and after all, there weren't many people waiting in line to board the plane.
The only thing that's slightly worrying is that everyone is penniless, and there's no credentials or anything like that.
And it is obvious that in a civilized society where magic is so highly developed that it has developed to this extent, these things are also indispensable. So before boarding the airship, everyone thought that they might have to rely on magic to solve the problem.
After all, tricks such as suggestion and domination, although they are always not on the table, are always convenient and useful when solving some small troubles like these cumbersome.
However, as a native resident, Miss Skaha was obviously well prepared, not only prepared for the common currency, but also prepared the corresponding false identity for everyone.
It seemed that these problems were not a problem at all, and Fujimaru Rika and the others immediately put their minds at ease.
- Of course, it's just a matter of seeming, but not at the practical level.
"It's strange why there are so many passengers on the Isle of Skye today...... Where are you from and what are you doing here? ”
The soldier in charge of the inspection was obviously a little puzzled, and carefully looked at the large group of people in front of him with suspicious eyes, and the attitude of the inspection was also very careful.
After all, he had followed the airship back and forth on this route many times in the past, and it was rare to encounter such a large group of passengers at this station on the Isle of Skye, or it should be said that there were basically no passengers.
Because the Isle of Skye is a barren island with no special resources, the kingdom's exploitation of it is limited to the port and the town.
So the question becomes, why did this group of people come to the island from other places and stop here? If the destination isn't the Isle of Skye, then why hop off the bus and wait here to leave in a magic airship?
And judging from the test results of the documents, this group of people is not a resident of the Isle of Skye, but from the British mainland, which is very strange...... Of course, it would be strange if the documents showed that they were native to the Isle of Skye.
Such a large group of people suddenly gathered in hula today, and wanted to leave the island together, which also seemed problematic no matter how you look at it.
Although over the years, under the crazy development of magic technology, all kinds of novel products have emerged one after another. From steam technology to magic reactors, from air rails to sea trains...... In just a few years, the world has changed more dramatically than the previous eras combined.
Various means of transportation such as magic airships, sea trains, steam ferries, etc., have appeared, replacing the status of horses and carriages in the past, although they have not been completely eliminated, after all, it is still relatively easy to use to transport materials and personnel in a small area.
And thanks to the policies of the kingdom, these things are also deliberately popularized in the civilian field, coupled with the crisscrossing of land, sea and air transportation routes, covering almost the whole of Europe, it can be said that any citizen can go anywhere in a short time.
It is said that this trend is not only in Europe, but also in the whole world, so many people are very optimistic that within this century, the whole world will be connected, and human footsteps will be able to cover the entire planet.
However, the vast majority of people only know this thing, but their own ideas have not been able to keep up with the rapid development of the bamboo, and they have experienced war, famine and all kinds of disasters, and they have a deep rejection and fear of traveling away from their homeland.
Even if it comes directly from the official scheduling arrangement, there are many people who are not happy, and if it is not necessary, they are simply not willing to leave the place of residence, at least the general public.
So, this group of people feels really problematic...... The soldier narrowed his eyes at the group in front of him.
They don't look like ordinary people, but they don't look like businessmen who are running around for profit, and they are all empty-handed, let alone what kind of goods they have, and they don't even carry their luggage.
This is one of the suspicious points, and it is also the main factor that made the soldiers suspicious in the first place, and after careful observation, they found more problems.
For example, this group of people has a very special temperament, many of them seem to be experienced "warriors", although they are calm and quiet at the moment, but the feeling of being well-trained will not disappear.
Considering that the damned rebels seem to be active again lately, it is said that one of the kingdom's shipping routes has suffered a great loss, and even provoked the wrath of the king, who sent down the punishment from the king with a holy spear......
The soldier suddenly became more vigilant, and the more he looked at this group of people, the more suspicious he felt, and he was already inclined to suspect that they were those rebels, perhaps this time they had come to seize this airship.
And under the soldier's sharp gaze and sharp questions, the people on the Chaldean side were naturally fragmented and full of mistakes.
Although Fujimaru Rika and the others had heard a lot of related things from Skaha in advance, they were not really born and raised in this peculiar point after all.
It's like an endorsement, it's hard to really use that intelligence information, and when faced with some inquiries, their subconscious hesitation, pause, and hesitation have become more and more obvious signs of suspicion.
As a result, the atmosphere began to gradually become solemn.
Even the Chaldean staff who are monitoring in real time in the 21st century, including Dr. Roman, are all subconsciously sweating.
The other guards also seemed to notice that something was wrong, some reached for the hilt of the sword at their waist and walked quickly, while others picked up what seemed to be a magic dress designed for communication, as if to inform the others.
"You're being too vigilant, it's not a good thing......"
Probably didn't expect to encounter such a vigilant scrutiny, Skaha finally couldn't help but sigh, she stepped forward directly, gently raised a slender palm, and waved it directly in front of her.
The soldier, who had a keen eye and was particularly vigilant, suddenly had a blank look in his eyes, as if he had lost the focus of his gaze, but only a second later, he recovered.
Then, as if he had lost interest in the group of people in front of him, he lowered his head and simply flipped through the documents that he had seen many times in his hand, and then compared them casually with these people in front of him, and then returned the documents with little interest, and let them board the airship.
It seemed that he had forgotten what had just happened all of a sudden, and even the doubts and vigilance that had arisen in his heart before, these emotions were forcibly eliminated by some mysterious force, as if the handwriting on the paper had been erased by an eraser, and he was out of vigilance.
And the same is true for everyone else around them, and an imminent storm has disappeared.
Even they thought that the speed of this large group of people boarding the airship was too slow, and they were waving their hands again and again, urging these people to move faster-
"Hurry up!"
"Why has it been so long? Any questions? ”
"Don't get stuck on the gangway, hurry up, hurry up...... Don't look around, it's you! We're about to go......"
Rika Fujimaru let out a long breath and hurriedly took the lead through the gangway and boarded the huge airship, followed by the others.
Looking around on the deck, the girl found that the airship was only similar in appearance to modern flying machines, but in fact it was still different, such as the pod under the hull, which was not very small, but very large.
From end to end, it is already more than a hundred meters long, as if a large ship is hanging in mid-air. She didn't think it was from a distance before, but now that she boarded this behemoth, she realized how amazing this thing was when she looked closely.
It is hard to imagine that in such an era, there is a country that has the ability to produce, build and maintain such a thing, and it has begun to be mass-produced, although the scale is not large, but it is obviously steadily increasing the quantity.
"Whew, it's so dangerous...... "Matthew also patted his chest reassuringly while looking around, "I almost had a problem." ”
Mordred pouted disappreciatively beside her: "I don't know what to be afraid of, it's a big deal to just grab this flying machine...... And in the end, it is better to use magic to solve the problem, so it is better to do it at the beginning. ”
She felt that this was simply a redundant thing.
"I don't deny that using magic tricks such as suggestion and domination can indeed directly solve the problem, or even more convenient."
Skaha answered calmly, explaining to the crowd the need to do so, saying that it was the real wisdom to do so.
"But greedy for temporary convenience, may be to plant the seeds of hidden dangers later, the degree of magic popularization and application in this world is far beyond your imagination, basically any ordinary people have more or less magic."
In modern times, people with magic qualifications are rare seedlings that are worth a lot of trouble to discover and cultivate, but in this era, everyone has them, and it is just a matter of the upper limit, just like eating and drinking.
On the contrary, people who have no magic at all are particularly rare examples.
Living in such an era, obviously adapting to such an environment, but still a magic insulator, such an unreasonable thing, isn't it worth paying attention to?
"As you all know, as long as people have magic circuits, they often have the ability to resist magic that can be used to interfere with magic such as hypnosis and spells. Although these people are not as exaggerated as gradually forming their own magic circuits in the day after tomorrow, they have gradually adapted to the changes in this environment, and their physique has changed. ”
The Queen of the Shadow Nation gestured to the soldiers behind her.
"Able to adapt to the magical environment of the complete gods, they are always breathing and bathed in incomparably rich magical power, even if there is no magic circuit, the overall physique is already similar to a filter, more or less can draw magic from the outside world, so it naturally has characteristics similar to magic circuits......"
"Huh? Doesn't that mean ......" Fujimaru Rika was slightly stunned.
"That's right, if you just change to Lixiang and you to perform magic tricks such as suggestion and hypnosis, it may not ......have any effect," the queen said calmly, "Interference magic may not be able to overcome their own magic resistance." ”
