Chapter 62: "Flying Machines"
The streets of Rentat are bustling with people.
"Look, what's that?" Suddenly, an exclamation erupted in the crowd, causing the surrounding citizens to follow his line of sight.
"What's that?"
"The alchemy car will fly?"
They were also stunned and blurted out, only to see that at a height of about three floors, there was a thing flying all over silver gray, which was seven or eight points similar to the alchemy car driving on the road, with the same front, compartment, door, wheels, and lights, but it looked much lighter and thinner, making people suspect that it was not a normal metal, of course, the biggest difference was that this strange "alchemy car" was actually able to fly! Isn't this the ability that only magicians and celestial knights above the three rings have?
With the exclamations, more and more citizens looked into the air, and for a while, there were thousands of more "statues" of Rentat looking up at their heads.
This is also in Rentat, in another place, ordinary people would have fled in panic while shouting monsters, and maybe it would even cause a stampede.
Viscount Ribeiro on the "flying car" looked at the scene below with a cigar in his mouth, and felt that the exclamation was a compliment to his best.
"What's so surprising about this? Viscount Ribeiro sneered contemptuously, "Isn't it the constant flotation technique plus the power plant of the alchemy car?"
He was the son of a certain earl, who had been energized by potions and had no hope of flying on his own, and he found it too ugly to fly with ordinary alchemical items, as if he were naked for others to see. The aristocracy should have the flight "etiquette" of the aristocracy, which must be calm and unhurried, and must be elegant and noble.
Such an idea has been buried in his heart, but he can't find a proper way to realize it, until the invention of the "alchemy car", he understands what he really wants, the real nobles should drive a "car" with such an appearance, flying in the air, so that the inferior citizens look up but can't see the faces of the nobles inside, of course. If it's not the first attempt. He must definitely be equipped with a "coachman", how can the nobles drive themselves!
So, he found several magicians who were interested in money and materials, using the "alchemy car" as a model. The metal material was re-selected. So that the weight is greatly reduced. Similarly, the safety crashworthiness is also greatly reduced, and then. On this basis, the levitation technique was constant, so that the "alchemy car" could float according to the manipulation - the constant "flying technique" was something that could only be done by the high level, and the mid-level magician could at most make the alchemy item activate the flying technique several times a day, which was difficult to meet the needs of Viscount Ribeiro.
Finally, they modified the power plant of the "Alchemy Car" itself, so that it could spray gas, allowing the operator to change direction freely, so that they did not use "flying skills" to make the Alchemy Car "fly" and also drive on the ground.
Of course, this kind of "flying car" also has its own flaws, one is that the levitation technique is not a real flying technique, and it is very slow when taking off and landing up and down, and the other is that the energy consumption is very exaggerated, such as the "levitation" is said to be constant, but it also requires energy supplements such as magic gems, which ordinary people cannot afford.
Viscount Ribeiro was quite satisfied with this, that is, to make the mud-legged and hillbillies unable to use the "flying car", so as to show the elegance and nobility of the nobility!
Looking at the alchemy car that was "driving slowly" and was afraid of collision below, and looking at the faces with consternation, Viscount Ribeiro reached out with his left hand, flicked the cigar ash, and then spit out the smoke ring, arrogantly and satisfied:
"A bunch of hillbillies. ”
While showing his "nobility", he excitedly stepped on the "energy gate", trying to pass through the air passage sandwiched by several taller buildings, so that the group of hillbillies could only look at themselves and the dashing back of the flying car!
As soon as he passed through the "passage", his gaze suddenly froze, because there was also a car that was exactly the same as his "baby" flying on the opposite side, and there was also a panicked man with a panicked expression sitting in it, with the same speed and the same flight altitude!
"Damn, those magicians secretly sold my ideas to someone else!"
At this moment, this thought was the first thing that came to his mind, and then he "skillfully" pulled up the joystick and tried to continue climbing to avoid a possible collision.
However, the biggest problem with "Levitation" is that it takes off and lands slowly, and he is not a magician who ignores this problem at the first time.
Two equally stunned and frightened faces looked at each other, and then the two flying cars slammed into each other.
“...... You shouldn't fly so low so ...... for others to see it" Viscount Ribeiro's pupils contracted violently, and he didn't have a strong will to stimulate his bloodline normally, and he couldn't remember his "knightly strength" at a critical moment.
Rumble!
A huge fireball erupted in midair, and the wreckage of the alchemy car rained down.
"This ......" All the citizens who looked up were completely stunned this time, what is the situation?
Bang, a violently burning mass landed in front of Ali, who was carrying a black suitcase, so frightened that he took a few steps back, almost stepping on the sewer entrance on the side of the road.
"What a scary explosion......"
"Almost hit me......"
"Rentat is a dangerous ......"
Thoughts burst out in Ali's mind, with a dream for the first time he deeply realized the "danger" of Rentat, at this moment, he suddenly realized that if he wants to achieve something, he will definitely not be without setbacks, smooth sailing, if not careful, maybe a small accident will let him die.
The impetuosity in his heart was quickly curbed by this strange encounter.
"Quick, call the police!" the citizens came to their senses.
They have become accustomed to the presence of the Holm Police Department.
............
Inside the atomic universe.
"What are you laughing at?" Natasha flew back from outside with her long sword, just in time to finish her afternoon sword practice when she witnessed Lucian's strange smile.
Lucien didn't answer directly, but said lightly, "There are indeed people watching my every move." ”
"What happened to the statue of Yuri?" Natasha reacted sharply, and instantly remembered the incident, Lucien asked Katrina to place the statue in the kingdom of Dumut itself contains a dual purpose, one of which is temptation!
Lucien snorted: "If 'he' doesn't do it, I'll have to find a way for Haidt to find out, and now, he's jumping out on his own." ”
"Can you be sure who it is?" asked Natasha, with a solemn expression.
Lucien shook his head: "I predicted the direction of events, so I can't confirm who it is, I can only know that there is indeed such a guy in the Dao, after all, any means of adding unnecessary magic arrays to the statue is easy to see, and that will put Katrina in danger." ”
Lucien didn't let a student who hadn't even reached the upper level get involved in such dangerous thoughts.
"You don't seem too worried. Seeing Lucian's relaxed expression, Natasha also relaxed, and slowly put away the sword of truth.
"I'm on guard, there's no need to worry, what's there to worry about a guy who needs to stare at me and pay attention to my every move to impact the god-like level?" The two couples got along, Lucien joked as he spoke, "Look at me, I am all researching and exploring on my own, and I never stare at others, this is the demeanor of a strong man." ”
"Tsk, if you are strong, you will become an epic knight and practice swordsmanship with me!" Natasha raised her left eyebrow.
Lucien said "without fear": "No problem, but not with the Sword of Truth and the Shield of Truth." ”
After the two of them had been joking for a while, they were discussing the matter of the mysterious guy and the craftsman god Haidt, when the butler Leo walked in: "Madam, the lady of the Palace of Nexer calls you. ”
He always addressed Madame rather than Her Majesty the Queen.
"Call me, what can be important......" Natasha walked to the study suspiciously, there was no urgent business in the Kingdom of Holm that had to be dealt with by the queen that day.
After a while, Natasha walked out and said to Lucian with a strange expression, "The 'car accident' you often say happened, but it was ...... in the air"
"In the air?" Lucien, who crossed from the earth, knew the dangers of car accidents very well, and after the invention of the alchemy car, he specially told the speed limit and other matters in the city, plus the existing alchemy car is scarce, so the car accident has not yet appeared, but who knows that the first car accident in the road actually happened in the air!
Natasha told the story as it was: "The dead Viscount Ribeiro has a lot of ideas. ”
The bear child just knows how to play, and then plays to death himself...... Lucien silently sneered, the nobles and magicians in this world are so strong in their "hands-on ability", and even the "flying car" that they have not yet thought of has been tinkered with by them.
Natasha clapped her hands: "I have to go to the House of Nobles to preside over the meeting, and the two nobles who died let the conservative old guys propose to ban similar flying cars, according to their logic, the carriages should have been thrown into the ocean a long time ago." ”
She was still curious and interested in the idea of flying cars, and who called her husband an arcane who was good at inventing all kinds of strange objects?
"Well, for this kind of thing that may develop in the future, it is better to prohibit it than to standardize it, and simply issue the "Aircraft Management Regulations" and the "Road Safety Regulations", and it is better for the National Police Agency to divide a special team to be responsible for the implementation of these two regulations. Lucien casually suggested.
"Haluha, is that also a ban on mages flying in the city, like Alinge?hh, the Wizards' Flight Control Act?" Natasha joked, and returned to Nexer Palace through the teleportation array in the hall.
Lucien smiled and shook his head, got up and headed for the "Thunder Hell", ready to discuss the arcane with his teacher and Mr. Brooke.
As soon as he entered the Thunder Hell, he heard a violent explosion, and saw a strong light flash in Fernando's magic tower, and the energy storm swept everything, as if the end had come, and then all this was contained by the magic tower.
"Damn, it's exploding again!" Fernando appeared in front of Lucien with his hair disheveled.
Lucien said helplessly: "Teacher, be careful, if you change to another arcanist, you will die a hundred times earlier." (To be continued......)
