Chapter 696: Overtaking
The news of the "cobalt gold mine for sale at an ultra-low price" quickly spread to the entire Blakes Avenue within ten minutes, and quickly spread in the city of Durrell at an unimaginable speed. After the initial onlookers, the 500 pieces of cobalt gold ore immediately entered the "burst sale" mode, and more than 300 pieces were sold in the blink of an eye, and the buyers also changed from the original vendors, magic prop store managers and clerks to students, lecturers and even vice deans of various colleges...
After twenty minutes of this kind of panic buying, it finally attracted the attention of the "law enforcers" in Durell City, in fact, when it originally involved "commercial" issues, the "law enforcers" would not directly intervene. They are the "executors", often only responsible for action and have no other rights, and any dispute between Rasiman and the "commercial arbitrator" in white robes of the "Commercial Authority" is resolved. But obviously..."the news of the "sale of cobalt gold ore at a low price" was like a bomb for Ballenna College, and the academy's senior management, who had been notified by Rotica a long time ago, immediately felt like a great enemy after learning the news.
And the measures they took were also very decisive: with the huge influence of Congressman Rotica in Parliament, the Barrenna high-level collectively put pressure on the "enforcers", crossed the steps of the "Commercial Administration" ruling, and directly asked the "enforcers" to quickly calm down the situation, so when the red-robed "enforcers" appeared on the "Blakes Boulevard", the crowd of people who were still watching and snapping up the goods immediately realized that something was wrong. Regardless of whether you buy it or not, almost everyone is scattered as birds and beasts at the moment...
Whether it was the vice president of the academy who was not low, or the small traders and vendors who came late, no one dared to stay at all, and they all left Erwin's stall as if they were passing by.
Looking at the row of red-robed mages approaching from the corner of the street, Merinsela stretched out her hands and made a movement to stretch her limbs
"Roddy, this guy, guessed really accurately."
*****
"Squeak"
The sound of tires rubbing against the ground suddenly sounded, and the rear-wheel drive "Fire Crossbow Arrow" quickly idled as Roddy pushed the "throttle" to the end. In the next second, the body of the "catapult start" galloped forward like an arrow!
The surrounding scenery quickly regressed, and Luo Di held the handlebars leisurely, although the stone pavement of the street was not smooth, the body that reached a speed of 70 kilometers per hour was smooth and comfortable, and almost no vibration was felt...
This is where the "Levitation Circle Suspension" comes in.
Fifteen seconds after activation, the Firebolt traveled across the square and into the streets. However, when Roddy saw the other construction puppets in front of him that were steaming and hurrying forward, he had to step on the brakes and slow down, because the width of the track was too narrow at this time, and the other construction puppets in the whole race had not yet opened the gap, and at a glance, there were almost seven or eight of them crowded together, and the driver on the puppet was concentrating on debugging various magic circles, and he didn't notice the inconspicuous figure behind him...
Roddy is not in a hurry, and the 93-kilometer track is estimated to take an hour and a half. So he followed behind humming a song, looking left and right, completely looking at the leisurely appearance of a convertible drive.
What he didn't know was that on the floating tower at this time, a group of mages were all pointing at Roddy.
Because the speed at which Roddy crossed the square just now was so amazing, it took the other construction puppets to cross the entire square in a minute at the fastest, but Roddy's fire bolt slashed like a lightning bolt in fifteen seconds, so that many mages thought that the magic circle of the "fire bolt" was out of control...
"If it goes on like this, it will definitely blow up!"
"Bomb it or not, how far can he run? What magic crystal can withstand in this situation? ”
Even Jeremy, the most authoritative puppeteer and speaker of the council, was scared out of sweat by Roddy, but when Roddy braked easily and followed behind the other puppets at a steady speed, he let out a "huh", "... There was no energy disturbance? ”
Doris, who was not far away, didn't realize what Roddy's hand represented just now, and looked at the horizon in the distance boredly with the drink in her hand, and when she found Miranda and Evelidu next to her frowning and staring down, she couldn't help but be a little curious: "What's wrong?" Crashed build golems? ”
Every year in the rally, the construction golems that crash into walls, shatter or explode in place for various reasons are also one of the "pleasures to watch", so Doiris has this question. However, Evely's face was solemn, her eyes were fixed downward, and she asked without looking back, "Dores, that guy didn't tell you where his constructed puppet came from?" ”
"I didn't mention it, what's wrong? Can his makeshift patchwork really run? ”
Doroth glanced down, but she almost threw the drink in her hand off the floating tower, because at this moment, she happened to see Roddy passing by like a swimming dragon, directly surpassing the twelve vehicle puppets!
After a six-kilometre narrow track, the Third Group's puppets finally made their way to Tim College Square, north of Durrell. And Luo Di did not hesitate to take the throttle, and easily overtook the twelve puppets in front of him at a distance of 500 meters, broke away from the third group in one fell swoop, and directly bit the tail of the second group!
And in the process of his overtaking, one of the vehicle puppets of Brenka Academy tried to turn to block his advance, but how could a "big man" eight meters long and three meters wide be as nimble as Roddy's "Fire Ballista"? In addition, this is in the process of accelerating at full strength, so the huge puppet that relies on multi-legged forward suddenly turned, because one side of the outrigger could not bear the huge inertia, and instantly broke three or four, which directly led to the "rollover" accident...
"Boom"
The parts of the puppet that flipped to the ground fell in all directions, and a Movent Academy puppet behind it was unable to dodge and rear-ended on the spot, almost knocking the Blunka Academy puppet into two pieces. The mage driving above immediately activated the protection circle, which avoided the tragedy of "car destruction and death". However, it is clear that the two puppets will inevitably retire.
And what about Roddy? When the driver of the Brenka Academy got up and tried to find the other party, he found that the shadow of the "Fire Crossbow Arrow" had disappeared from the track at the end of the square...
"Overtaking" is the most testing of the driver's skills in the City Rally, because they have to calculate the current remaining energy of the vehicle puppet, to grasp whether the radiator can withstand the overload of high temperatures after sudden acceleration, and to find the most suitable section of the road for overtaking.
