"Hmm. Lina pushed her eyes on the bridge of her nose and let out a low cry of unknown meaning.

Push open the door, there is a short corridor connecting the cloakroom and the dressing room on the side, the end of the corridor is covered by a screen, bypassing the screen, is a large living room of fifty square meters, the style of the living room decoration is seven hundred years ago Gamma Empire style, there is a long circle of soft chairs in the middle, the length is enough for a person to lie comfortably on it to rest, in the middle of the soft chair is a few put together coffee tables, on which are placed a variety of fruit snacks and entertainment game utensils, the walls on both sides of the living room are hung with famous paintings and artworks of the past dynasties, although the items are complicated but not messy, it seems that it took a lot of effort。 The living room is separated by a low wall on one side, and on the other side is the dining room and a small bar with a selection of wines and juices from around the world. Several doors surround the living room, each leading to six bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, where guests can enjoy bathing in their own room. There are also two secret doors near the entrance to the living room, which lead to the servant's room and the storage room, which can be inhabited by the servants who follow the guests. The room isn't really too big, but just thinking about it being on an airboat makes it feel so rare.

What's even more rare is that the living room and several bedrooms have a crystal window half a meter long and wide, through which you can clearly see the outside view. You can imagine what it would be like to look down from the air when the float takes off and the whole ship flies to an altitude of 500 meters.

"These windows can be opened. Maggie followed behind the five people and whispered shyly, "Do you want to try a few guests?"

"Huh?" Several people showed stunned expressions, staring directly at Maggie, scaring her back half a step backwards: "It's not a joke, fly up a few hundred meters in the air and open the window? ”

"You misunderstood. The corners of Maggie's mouth curled slightly, and she looked like she had succeeded in a little conspiracy, and lowered her head and said: "Each window has a total of seven floors, and each layer of windows is cleverly calculated by the designer to leave gaps in the gaps, so that the wind outside can penetrate inward layer by layer. When the innermost window is closed, it is isolated from the outside world, but once the window is opened, the rather weak wind that has been cut down blows in through the window, which is very comfortable in summer, well...... In the winter, it's a little too cold and generally opens. ”

"Jingle Bell~~~" A string of pleasant bells rang, Maggie's face was straight, and she bowed to the five members of the adventure group and said: "The float boat is about to take off, please sit firmly on the chair and don't move around at will for the time being, so as not to fall down in case of shaking." It is estimated that it will take 10 minutes to take off, and after 10 minutes, it will reach the estimated maximum altitude of 500 meters, and after 10 minutes, when the bell rings again, you will be able to move freely. ”

"Interesting experience. Catherine put her backpack aside, took the lead in sitting down on the bench, and waved to Maggie: "I guess you have to go to the servant's room to wait alone according to the rules when you take off, but forget it, you can also come and sit, ten minutes, just enough to talk more about this floating boat." ”

"Thank you very much. Theoretically speaking, a waiter like Maggie is not a servant, but an ordinary waiter, closer to the identity of a tavern or inn waiter, and there are not too many rules, so when she heard Catherine's invitation, she naturally sat down: "I don't know if there is anything else you want to know?"

"What about the safety of this floating boat?" Catherine asked, "If something flies into the sky, once it breaks down and falls, it won't escape." ”

"It's safe here. Maggie said with certainty: "Before each take-off, a hundred skilled technicians will be divided into two batches to carefully inspect the 127,000 magic circles of the whole ship, and any potential safety hazards will be reported in time, and a special mage will be asked to adjust and maintain the magic circle, and there will be no negligence." ”

"Well, don't worry about that. Vivian lay down directly on the chair, tried to relax her body and said, "They are very serious about debugging the circle, I was invited to participate in the maintenance of another floating boat a year and a half ago, hey, big sister, I remember telling you." ”

"Huh, huh? Catherine's eyes wandered for an opportunity to change the subject, when she suddenly felt a jolt under her feet, and with a slight shaking around her, the floating ship had already left the ground.

"Hmm, the levitation circle is working well. Vivian closed her eyes and felt it for a while, then nodded: "Sister, you can rest assured, these magic circles activated now are in normal operation, and the energy reserves are also sufficient, and there will be no danger of falling." ”

"What if it happens?" said Catherine, who was naturally a little uneasy when she was on a floatboat for the first time.

"Whatever the reason, as soon as the floatboat falls, the bottom standby emergency measures are activated. Vivien explained, "Attacking 3,000 slowing and slow-falling circles will reduce the floatship's fall speed to a bearable level, and it won't cause a shipwreck." In the 150 years since the use of the float boat, there have been three crashes, but only 33 people have died in the total of the three times, and five of them died because they were too nervous to jump out of the ship's side during the fall, the other two died due to a sudden illness due to mental stimulation, and six died directly from the accident, but the cause of death was crushed to death by a broken facility rather than falling to death. There are only twenty people left, who died because of the fast falling speed you imagined, these twenty people all died in the same incident, and the floating boat was attacked in the air and disintegrated, but even so, the dead were all ordinary people, and there were no professionals, so don't worry, big sister. ”

"Wow, you're amazing. Maggie looked at Vivien adoringly and said, "You know better than I do." ”

"Because you don't need to know that, you just need to know the general situation. Vivien said, "We are different, we need to know the principle and some key problems so that we can easily debug the circle. ”

"It does sound safer. Catherine nodded, "But you just said that you were attacked once, and the target of the float is so big, will it be easy to attack?"

"The floatship has eleven thousand circles responsible for creating shields when needed. Vivien said, "You can block all attacks below the Golden Tier, and you can also block attacks from the Legendary Tier a few times." Figuratively speaking, the most powerful crystal cannon now, this floating boat can resist up to three times. However, it doesn't matter if there is a Legendary-level person who has an abnormal brain to attack the floatship, each airship will be equipped with a Legendary-level ranged professional to take care of safety, so there is no need to be nervous at all. ”

"Okay. Although Catherine was still a little nervous in her heart, she was no longer exposed, and asked relaxedly: "Maggie, I'm curious, although the ticket price of your floating boat service is very expensive, can it really make money?"

"Basically, you can't make any money. Maggie replied: "At the best of times, it can't be even, most of the time it's a serious loss." ”

"Then you have been maintaining this kind of business?" Catherine asked puzzledly, "According to my understanding, this ship sails once, and the cost is enough to consume millions, right, if it will lose hundreds of thousands of gold coins every time, why keep sticking to it?"

"I don't understand that. Maggie smiled shyly, lowered her head and said, "It's all decided by the big people in the association, I'm just a waiter, it's impossible to know." ”

"They weren't originally in it for the money. Lina, who was sitting next to her and was flipping through a book, suddenly raised her head from the book, pushed her glasses, and added, "Well, I don't understand either, but someone just told me." ”

"You're so convenient, you can have someone answer any question. Catherine asked, "If they weren't for the money, then ...... Hmm, I see, it's boring. ”

"Is it really to erect a sign to show economic strength?" Freya was born and grew up in the City Lord's Mansion, and she has a relatively sensitive sense of certain issues, and she quickly reacted: "You can also win over potential allies, and the benefits off the books are far greater than those on the books." ”

"I guess that's the reason. Catherine nodded, "No wonder they will hold the float boat and die and not let go." But that's a good thing, if they don't run the service, I'm afraid no one will be able to continue doing it, after all, the cost is too high. But why not make the float boat smaller, if it becomes smaller, the cost will naturally be reduced. ”

"No way. Vivian denied: "I've read the data, for hundreds of years, countless scholars have studied floats and done hundreds of thousands of experiments, but only the floatboats of this scale can fly normally, no matter how small the space is, it is not enough to depict so many magic circles, and adding ** array density will cause interference, which is an unsolvable problem." No matter how large it is, the weight will increase, and it may also cause the hull to disintegrate itself, so it will not work to shrink or enlarge. ”

"That's a pity. Catherine shook her head and sighed, "It seems that most people are destined to not be able to experience the feeling of flying in the air." ”

"Who knows. Vivien said, "Maybe in a few hundred or thousands of years, with the development of magical technology, something will change." ”

Catherine was just about to speak, when suddenly the hull of the ship shook again, and the upward trend soon stopped, followed by a pleasant bell echoing through the hull.

"Alright, the take-off process is over, and now the floatboat is in a stable state. Maggie jumped up from her chair and said happily, "Now everyone is free to move, and if there is anything that needs to be done, feel free to do it, Maggie and I will be there for you at any time." ”

"You know Marquis Snape's room. Catherine hesitated for a moment and said, "You go and ask, we are going to visit the Marquis, I don't know if the Marquis has time." ”

"Okay, leave it to me. Maggie nodded vigorously and pushed the door open and walked away.

"As a courtesy, always visit once. Catherine said, "Pannis, it's better for you to accompany me this time, it won't be long." ”

"I'm not going, that guy always looks at me weirdly...... Okay okay, I'll go, I'll go. Pannis quickly surrendered under Catherine's gaze, stood up with a bitter face, and said, "Then prepare to go." ”

Soon, Maggie returned, but said with a confused expression, "Lord Marquis, he ...... left a message saying that he couldn't come because of something temporary, and then told a few people, saying that everyone should enjoy the trip, and he would not disturb the interest of young people. ”

"Wow, I've been tricked. Catherine immediately understood Snape's intentions, gritted her teeth and was angry and funny, but there was nothing she could do. (To be continued.) )
