Chapter 41: Yulia

The Winged Humans, a strange race, are recognized as one of the strangest races in Pavatiga, and the most unorthodox race.

Four hundred years is not too long, and it stands to reason that every individual should have a sense of urgency that life is too short, and although they are not as busy as humans, they should not waste time like elves and dragons.

However, they like to waste time more than elves, and almost every individual likes to devote their limited life to infinite enjoyment.

In the eyes of these strange and casual creatures, carrying out the same mechanical work is simply the most terrifying torture, like the daily routine maintenance of the floating city, which is already the limit of patience for them, a full three hours, carrying out boring labor, day after day, this is really terrible, but there is no way, for the sake of everyone's home, they can only endure it.

Novelty and a fresh environment are the ones that attract their interest, and a flexible life is more suitable for them than mechanical work, uncovering secrets, exploring the unknown, even if it costs sweat, blood and even death.

The work of being able to face new things every day is what they want, adventure by shadow, exploring the secret realm, this is the job that everyone yearns for the most, traveling around the world, doing business everywhere, this kind of work is also very good, it is really not good, even if you open a small shop in a city, you can be personally responsible for the reception, and face different faces every day, at least you can satisfy their freshness.

That's why the Wings take the risk of running these shops in the towns below, where they have the opportunity to observe the travelers, see them, and listen to them, sharing new stories about their travels, satisfying their natural curiosity and thirst for novelty.

The mercenaries who often pass by know that even if they run a shop, these casual wingmen have little patience, and in a few days, the operators of the shops will change a batch, and the old operators don't know when they will run away to play elsewhere, and a certain store will be closed, and it will not be long before a new operator will happily occupy this empty house and reopen it.

Many sociologists secretly analyze that the Winged Terran has never been able to dominate the world, so that it began to decline in the chaotic era, which is affected by their casual character, if they can get rid of the trouble of character, with the talent and wisdom of the Winged Terran, coupled with their physical characteristics, the racial achievements will be much higher than now.

However, the Winged Humans themselves scoffed at similar analyses, we are happy, uninhibited, carefree, and enjoy life to the fullest, if we lose these, can we still be considered free Winged People? Racial achievements? Don't you feel tired? So serious things, if you like to care, you can care about it, we just need to live happily.

Even if there is another world war, it is a big deal that we will retreat to the uninhabited wilderness like at the end of the Chaos Era, no matter how powerful you are, all the races combined, the control rate of the Pavatiga land is not more than half, do you think we will be worried?

Most races cannot understand, but they cannot refute, and the cultural differences between the races are so great that it is impossible to agree.

However, scholars are at least right about one thing, with the talent of the Winged Terrans, if they continue to develop in a certain field, they can often achieve a lot of things.

Yulia is one of them.

A well-known master of magic, the initiator and leader of the Third Magic Colossus Improvement Project, and the researcher of the Aerial Work Terrain Probe (which ultimately failed), she has countless personal auras in the field of magic, and has gained countless reputations.

The family power behind her is even stronger, the Jill Celes family, as one of the branches of the ancient Jill family of the Winged Humans, has been inherited for more than a thousand years. The Seles family has lived in the city for generations, secretly controlling the surrounding commercial activities, thus amassing a great deal of wealth and playing a pivotal role in the city.

And Yulia, the current patriarch of the Gilcelles family, one hundred and twenty years ago, as soon as she took office, she used the wealth accumulated by the family for generations to start building the latest research result of magic, the floating boat.

The construction of the float was not as easy as it seemed, especially one hundred and twenty years ago, when this achievement was still only on paper and never appeared in the finished product, and it was the Gilcelles family who were the first to turn the theory into reality.

Because people have money.

If you want to build a floatboat, you need to spend countless precious resources, need a lot of manpower and material support, and need to endure countless failed attempts. However, despite the constant opposition within the family, Yulia persevered, and 90 years ago, she came up with the world's first finished float boat. There was an uproar in the academic world of magic, and it was hard to imagine that a scholar-type woman would have such a strong ability to execute.

Because people have money.

Since then, the airship has become a symbol of the Bright City, not even the other Winged Terran Floating City, let alone other races, when it comes to the airship, people will instinctively think of the Bright City, think of the Gilcelles family. Of course, because the float boat was only a paper theory at that time, the design idea itself was flawed, and the practicality was not high, which could not bring monetary returns. But for the Gilselles family, the prestige gains are enough to make up for the funding gap, and even some family elders admit that even if they spend twice as much, it is worth it, which shows that the family really doesn't care about this huge financial loss.

Because people are very rich.

"How much resentment do you have against that? Even Yulia's city government couldn't stand Shuer's complaints, and protested with tears and laughter, "When you introduce your precious sister, can't you praise me well? In less than two minutes, you have already said this sentence three times." ”

"Five hundred gold coins and go away. Xiuer gritted his teeth, he was the only one who cheated people, but two years ago, he actually agreed to invite her to dinner because he got carried away for a while, and she cheated five hundred gold coins, and the most hateful thing is that this guy still looks like he is understated, as if he really only ate a light meal.

Well, it seems that to her, maybe it was really just a very ordinary light meal, at least by the standard of feasting. The problem was different for Shuer, he didn't have any personal savings at that time, and the temple's funds had already bottomed out, and five hundred gold coins could really be regarded as a nerve-wracking injury, so he had to let everyone nibble on dry bread for ten days before he could barely turn the funds around.

"Uh-huh, dry bread go away. Lord Lisa also nodded frequently, this hatred of Lord Lisa can be remembered for a lifetime.

"Hehehehe, okay, okay, it's just a little joke at the beginning, and you can't blame me, who knows that you have the temple of the true god as a backing, but you even care about this little money. Speaking of which, you are really poor...... Oops, the little guy glared at me again, okay, count me wrong, as an apology, I'll also treat you to a light meal today, okay?"

Don't joke, in the world of ordinary people, for five hundred gold coins, maybe there will be a tableware of father and son fighting each other, even in the eyes of the nobles, five hundred gold coins is a few months' income. Like Dark's Dark Mercenary Group, this mission is a task of ten people who have worked hard for ten days, that is, the income of a few hundred gold coins, counting expenses and labor, it is very good to have a profit of two hundred gold coins, and a small amount of five hundred gold coins?

That's not the point, though, it's all about ......

"It's also a light meal for five hundred gold coins?" Shuer instantly threw his hatred aside, "Is it okay to discount?"

"Where's your face?"

"After spending five hundred gold coins, I had no food to eat, so I sold it. ”

"Stay away, I can't breathe from the smell of poverty. ”

In the midst of the uproar and laughter, a group of people, led by Yulia, entered the ground office of the Floating City.

According to the regulations, if you want to enter the floating city, you need to go through a strict review, and you are not allowed to enter without a good reason. However, it was Shuer's plan to enter the city, and he had a good reason.

As an ambassador of the Darkmoon Temple, he was officially invited by the Water Temple through the official release of the Lion City to participate in the Water Curtain Festival ceremony as a guest of honor. This status is enough for the Temple of Water or the Emerald Empire to bear the cost of the mission to complete the last three days of the journey in the safest way by floating boat, and by taking the floating boat, it is necessary to enter the Bright City.

Very good reason, but unfortunately not at all.

At this time, it can be seen that the status of the Gilseles family in the bright capital, with a group of people into the office, Yulia just nodded to the wingmen staff, and didn't even say a word, as a result, the wingmen acted as if they didn't see anything, and let everyone pass between them and go directly into the backyard of the office. Not only people, but even the two carriages and the nine Wind Splitting Beasts entered the backyard through the side door, all the way unimpeded.

The backyard of the office is very spacious, and on one side is the storage place for vehicles and goods, after all, it is a very incompatible thing to take the carriage to the floating city, no matter how you think about it, if you don't want to be kicked off the floating city by the winged people, it is better to give up this idea. Therefore, most people choose to leave their baggage in the office, anyway, there is no need to worry about security, just pay a little storage fee.

Abandon the carriage, relaxed, especially the two children, got rid of the shackles of the carriage, and really wanted to run as wildly as they wanted, but unfortunately, as soon as the demon-like villain priest glared, the two little ones wilted, and hid behind Tarina trembling aggrievedly. As for Linda and McCree, the little nobles from the small city, where have they seen such a strange scene, and they have not yet recovered from the shock of the floating city, and they probably don't even know what they are doing.

In the middle of the backyard is a huge circular platform, large enough for dozens of people to stand on it. Yulia led everyone onto the platform and nodded to the four operators around her, and then a light curtain rose from the edge of the platform, blocking the view of the passengers and blocking the cold wind from the outside world.

There was a shaking under their feet, and the pull of gravity clearly told everyone that the platform had risen and was flying towards the floating city.
