Chapter 61: The Sound Sheet
After the prayer service, Wren followed Pollock back to the third team's convening room.
"Every time we go on a mission in the future, unless it's an emergency, we'll meet in this convening room. Pollock took Wren around the room on the second floor and said, "Under normal circumstances, there will only be a mission every half a month. ”
"The five teams of the demon slayer team take turns to keep vigil, at least three people at a time, and our team now has six people, so there will only be a vigil once in ten days. ”
"You can use the facilities in this building, and the cost of exercising is provided free of charge by the Public Security Bureau. ”
"Besides, you go to old Martin as soon as possible and ask him to train you and learn to ride a griffin, which is not difficult, it is easier than riding a horse. ”
Wren nodded in understanding and asked, "What about the rest of the team?"
"At this point, they should be busy with their own business. Pollock thought for a moment and said, "If you're free tomorrow night, we'll set a time to throw you a welcome party." ”
"Tomorrow night, trouble Captain. "Wren knows how to build relationships with his team-mates.
"You're welcome, it's as it should be. ”
After seeing the battle just now, Pollock's attitude towards Wren became even kinder, he remembered one thing, turned around and took out a palm-sized thing from the secret cabinet in the room and handed it to Wren, and said, "This is your microphone, don't lose it." ”
"Microphone?"
Wren was a little confused.
The thing in my hand looks like a pocket watch, but it is larger, all silver, and when you open the lid, you can see a dial with the hour hand turning, accurately displaying the time.
"It's a pocket watch, but it's more than that. ”
Wren looked through it, it was obviously an alchemical item, there was a slight sound inside, it was the sound of mechanical turning, and the inside of the lid was engraved with runes, and there were traces of soul power flowing.
On the side of the dial, there are three metal pushbuttons.
The whole thing looks like a beautiful work of art and is obviously worth a lot of money.
"The Microphone is a joint effort between the Mechanical Guild and the Alchemy Guild, and uses the Soundstone as a magical material that allows us to communicate over long distances. Pollock explains, "It's easy to use. ”
He picked up the microphone and gave it a demonstration.
Wren immediately understood that this was a simple walkie-talkie, but it was achieved through magic.
Use the three buttons on the side to control the microphone.
Press and hold the upper button to speak, and you can transmit the sound, press and hold the middle to hear the voice of others, and the bottom button is used to adjust the time, and it has nothing to do with the sound.
If an audio message is received, the microphone will vibrate lightly a few times, and the button in the middle will light up to prompt listening.
The functions are simple, but there are also quite a few limitations.
The microphone can only accept sounds from a fixed target, and when one of them speaks, the other microphones can hear it, as if they were entering a conversation channel. Control of this channel is tied to one of the microphones and can only be used by one person.
The members of the demon slayer team are in quick contact with each other through the microphone.
Wren didn't understand the principle at all, but it didn't affect his use of the microphone, and asked curiously: "Captain, what is the effective distance of this microphone?"
"About three hundred miles, no matter how far it goes, it's useless. ”
Pollock said: "This is the lowest level of microphones, and it is said that the most powerful microphones can talk across continents, but I have only heard of it, and I don't know if it is true or not. ”
Wren secretly exclaimed, isn't this a satellite phone!
He was completely unaware of the existence of the microphone meter before, and now it seems that although the sound transmission technology in this world is not as convenient and widespread as telecommunications in the previous life, the transmission of information is not slow, at least it will not lag due to spatial distance.
Pollock saw that he was very interested in the microphone and smiled: "This microphone is not cheap, not only for team members, but also for the status symbol of the demon slaying team, you must carry it with you at all times so as not to lose it." ”
"Okay. ”
Wren stuffed the microphone into his pocket and suddenly asked, "Captain, what is the origin of Dris?"
He asked before the competition just now.
At that time, I was interrupted by Pollock and forgot about it, and I didn't have time to ask about it for a while.
Pollock had nothing to hide, and said: "Driss is from a noble background, from the 'Leansell' family, and his father, Viscount Perry, is the deputy director of the Treasury and Taxation Bureau of Lonzand, and is also a wealthy man, the family owns many properties, mainly operating the Demon Soul Farm. ”
"Demon Soul Farm ......"
Wren suddenly realized, no wonder Driss is only a fourth-level magic swordsman, but he has several elements, which is obviously much stronger than other fourth-level professions.
Pollock continued: "Viscount Perry is just an ordinary person, but he is very skillful, and he is even more powerful in business, and he has contributed a lot of wealth to His Excellency the Duke, and he has won the trust of the Duke, so he was canonized, and he is also a viscount. ”
"Why are you still involved with the Duke?" Wren had a headache.
This Duke of Silver Star is also too wealthy, right, he sells his official position openly and honestly, and gives both official positions and titles, and the integration of officials and businessmen, so he is not afraid that these people will hollow out Longshande's governance system?
But if you think about it carefully, Duke Silver Star is a Holy Soul Wizard, and his power belongs to himself, and he masters the ultimate violence, and he is not afraid of these flies and dogs.
Perhaps, the duke hopes to raise a group of such people, and then harvest them as leeks.
"Are there any other transcendents in the Leansel family?" Wren asked, the power of this family sounded quite small, and he had to take precautions in advance.
Pollock thought for a moment, "As far as I know, no. ”
"It is easier for nobles to raise their offspring to be extraordinary than commoners, but it is still difficult. Viscount Perry had only three children, and Driss was the eldest and the only one to become transcendent. But whether Viscount Perry had an illegitimate child or not, I don't know. ”
Wren nodded slightly.
In this regard, he had heard Viola say that even the Duke's family, with a total of several hundred people, did not become extraordinary, not even a tenth.
Viscount Perry, as an ordinary person, an emerging nobleman, used money to smash his eldest son Driss into a fourth-level magic swordsman, and his luck was already quite good.
However, there are no transcendents in the Leansel family, which does not mean that Viscount Perry cannot invite other transcendents.
Money can make ghosts grind, and even the Duke of Silver Star is crazy about making money by any means, not to mention other transcendent people.
Pollock guessed Wren's mind and comforted: "You don't have to worry too much, you have already joined the demon slaying team, and those nobles dare not touch you casually." ”
"Besides, you still know Master Roger, as long as you reveal a little bit of information to Viscount Perry, with his cautious personality, he will definitely not dare to do anything to you. ”
"But when Driss comes back, you'll have a fight. ”
Wren laughed nonchalantly.
Driss was hammered by himself, and he had to recuperate for at least three or four months, and when he came back, his strength would definitely be much stronger than now, and he wouldn't have to worry about him looking for trouble.
If there's a next time, be sure to find a chance to take out this pesky guy.
Wren said goodbye to Pollock, exited the sheriff's office, and returned to his apartment.
I changed my clothes and went to Violet House to practice as usual.
Because of the delay, Wren arrived more than an hour later than usual, Viola asked with concern, he only said that he had joined the demon slayer team, and did not mention the matter of Driss.
The next night, Wren went to a booked hotel to meet his teammates.
When I entered the private room, I found that my teammates had arrived.
In addition to the captain Pollock, the holy swordsman Frida, and the berserker Hargrove, there are also three strangers who have met for the first time.
Wren swept through the soul eye and identified the occupations of the three men.
The couple snuggling together at the door looked like they were all under thirty years old, the man was a third-level wizard, and he was a rare wizard of all souls, and the woman was a pyromancer, with a professional level of only two, with a beautiful appearance, a petite figure, faintly flickering fire runes under his skin, and his eyes were red, like two flames.
The two of them were joking with an ordinary-looking young man with black hair, who was a second-level shadow warrior.
The six people in the room, all of them were beginner transcendents except for Pollock.
And everyone's profession is different.
Fourth-level Ranger, third-level Holy Swordsman, second-level Berserker, third-level Soul Wizard, second-level Warlock, second-level Shadow Warrior, first-level Battle Wizard.
"This should be an intentional arrangement by the demon slaying team. Wren thought to himself that the cooperation between different transcendent professions, complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses, can often produce unexpected results.
"Wren, you're here. ”
Pollock said with a smile, and the others stopped talking when they saw Wren and got up to welcome him.
They had all heard about yesterday's events, and their eyes could not hide their surprise and curiosity, and it was as if they were listening to a legend to be able to defeat Driss's first-level transcendent who was able to defeat Driss.
Especially the holy swordsman Frida, she also remembered Wren's identity.
A few weeks ago, Wren was an ordinary person, but now he is her teammate, and he is so strong, such a huge contrast between the front and back is really unbelievable.
With a smile on his face, Wren nodded slightly to Frida.
He saluted everyone very formally and said politely: "Everyone, I'm Rennes, please give me more advice in the future." ”
The teammates responded one after another, and seeing that Rennes was very easy to get along with, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
"Sit down, everybody. ”
Pollock was the happiest, and when everyone was seated, he said, "Wren, let me introduce you." This is Frida, you've seen it twice. He pointed to a strong man who was more than two meters tall, "This is Hargrove, you also met the night before, he is a berserker, so he has a short temper, Rennes, you should be more considerate." ”
Hargrove had obviously been deliberately told before, and he was in a bad mood, so he reluctantly nodded at Wren and continued to drink.
Wren didn't bother with him.
Berserkers because of their class characteristics, the "berserk" element will affect their mood, so most berserkers are grumpy dudes.
At the Basil Inn, there are often berserkers who take extra glances, causing fights.
Pollock went on to introduce that the Wizard of All Souls was named Milton, the Sorceress was named Albena, and the Shadow Warrior was Eli.
With the exception of Milton, the other two were a little reserved in the face of Rennes.
Wren was a little curious about Milton.
This third-level pan-soul wizard is very strong, not very old, and his talent is obviously higher than the others, maybe only the holy swordsman Frida can compare it slightly. Such a wizard genius usually learns from his teacher in the wizard tower and has a bright future, how could he join the demon slaying team?
