Chapter 133 Bluestone Town 2
Goblins are the most curious and deadly race in the world, and while they have underdeveloped limbs and a talent for magic, no one can afford to underestimate their talent for explosives. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The alchemist Brant Wycliffe, who became famous for his research on the improvised crystal bomb, once said two words to describe the goblins-
I was able to make it because of a conversation with a little goblin who was still playing with mud, oh, he was supposed to be playing K3 dynamite back then.
If you want to get some explosives and don't want to spend any money, go and steal something from a normal goblin family, as long as you don't get killed.
But few people know that goblins are also mechanically terrifying, because of their weak physical qualities - they are the same as humans and winged people - goblins invented their own vehicles long ago, but until today, hundreds of years later, humans have not imitated them.
The design of the airship involved several goblin masters.
......
Bluestone Town is not far away, and the place where Andy's Iron Thorn Mercenary Group encountered the attack of the demonized black bear is only a hill away from the town, otherwise it would not have arranged for Alan to run out for help.
Over this mountain, the bluestone town appeared in the eyes of Carl and the three.
Bluestone Town is an ordinary town built on the shores of Lake Valéli, and because most of the building materials are taken from the bluestone of the mountain, the name was chosen so casually.
On the outskirts of the town are farmland that has been cultivated, where farmers are cultivating and where mercenary groups with patrol missions patrol the roads to deal with possible monsters. Although the big beast tide seven years ago did not affect here, but every year in late autumn, there is always a month or two, in order to store food for the winter, the monsters will often pour out to attack humans, fortunately, the level of the monsters near the bluestone town is not high, and the silver level is rare.
After arriving in the town, the Iron Thorn Mercenary Regiment separated from Alexia, and only Alan asked the regiment commander for a leave, and he had to lead the way for Levi.
Alexia put the weapon into the space ring, out of the state of readiness, and there is a delay in accessing items from space equipment, so when entering the danger zone, even if there is space equipment, it is necessary to take out the weapon and equip it in advance.
"Levi, what did you ask to come here for, can you say it now?" Alexia asked as she walked.
"Ahaha, guess. Levi smirked.
"Leopold Scubek, unlike most of the imaginative goblin masters, he is good at precision mechanics, because he led the design of the airship's transmission system and is known as the closest master to the master, the most dazzling jewel on the mechanical throne, born in 835, now in seclusion. Alexia dictated the information from nowhere, "I don't know what you're looking for him. ”
"Let's talk about it when we get there. Levi touched his nose and said.
Allen, who was leading the way in front, listened to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but secretly wonder, is that old goblin really so famous.
Walking into the bluestone town, the townspeople looked at the three newcomers, most of them cast a curious look, this town is remote, and it is not located on the traffic artery like the stone town. During the year, only during the autumn harvest festival does many merchants come from other places, and dozens of townspeople know each other almost well.
Walking through the market in the center of the town, along the path by Lake Valéli, Alan led the three of them to a three-meter-high wooden hut, which, unlike other square houses in the town made of bluestone, was made of thick planks with thick logs cut in the middle fixed on either side, and from a distance, it looked like a row of thick tree trunks clinging together.
"That's it. Alan pointed to the cabin.
"Well done. Levi flicked a gold coin that had bounced all the way into Alan's hand, "Buy a snack to eat, little ghost." ”
Alan grabbed the gold coin and left with a smile on his face.
Alexia glanced at Levy, "It's as if you're much older than that little mercenary." ”
Levi spread his hands, walked to the door of the cabin and knocked.
Waited for several minutes, no response.
"It seems that no one sighs. Alexia also showed a rare expression of schadenfreude, "You've made a trip for nothing." ”
Levi carefully perceived that in this kind of situation with a sealed environment, his perception ability would be greatly weakened, and he could only use sound and vibration, and a large number of information sources such as wind and smell were gone.
He could barely feel that there was no one in the room.
"He's here. Karl, who had been immersed in calculations, suddenly raised his head and said, "In the basement, what I see in my spiritual vision should be him." Experimental research requires a quiet environment, so I guess the basement entrance is soundproofed, and he probably didn't hear your knock. ”
Suddenly, Levi touched his chin and looked at the wooden door, wondering if he should break in. But I'm here to ask for help, so it's not good......
"I advise you not to think about breaking the door. Carl continued, "There are actually several layers of defensive circles on this wooden door and wooden wall, probably with the help of a friend of Master Leopold. ”
Lévy's face ached suddenly.
"You'd better leave him a letter and come back tomorrow. Alexia glanced at the already reddened sky, "You should pray that the Master doesn't stay in the basement for too long. ”
"You're right. ”
Lévy took out a piece of stationery, wrote down a few lines, folded it and nailed it to the wooden door—nailed it to a meter high.
......
Booked three rooms at the hostel.
Alexia and Lévi were ready to go out for a walk and take a look at their surroundings - in this respect, Lévi and Alexia had the same habits.
"Aren't you going out?" asked Levi, seeing Carl sitting in a chair in a daze.
"Nope. Carl slapped his face and pulled out a book and placed it on his lap.
"He's always been like that. Alexia shook her head, "No, it's getting worse lately. ”
Levi scratched his head, "Is it okay?"
"Don't worry. Karl took out a piece of bread and took a bite and lowered his head, "Just like you warriors can't calm down when you're about to break through, we mages just don't want to move when they're about to break through, which is a good thing." ”
The breakthrough that Carl said is not a level increase, but a more essential, for example, when Alexia felt that her swordsmanship was about to break through, she looked for Warcraft everywhere to try her sword.
What is the most important thing for a mage? There are many opinions on this question, and there are different truths, but the most common one is-
Unbridled imagination.
Proven calculations.
The knowledge that embraces all things.
These are the three foundations on which a mage seeks the truth.
Knowledge is accumulated over time, imagination is the sublimation of existing cognition, and calculation needs to be constantly tempered. During this time, Carl devoted more than 80% of his computing power to some case analysis, not to accomplish anything, but purely to improve.
Outwardly speaking, it is very unresponsive or very sensitive - if you happen to be calculating something in this regard.
"The Limits of the Simmons Sequence...... Fourth-dimensional space ascension......" Carl muttered something that Alexia and Lévy didn't understand at all.
The two glanced at each other, and Levi laughed dryly: "You captain is really hard. ”
Alexia kicked him, "I think you're making me harder!"
......
Alexia and Levi were both top-notch in their exploration skills, and after only half an hour of wandering around the town, they had a thorough understanding of the terrain, and when they had completed their mission, they found the town's tavern and sat down.
There is no special mercenary guild station in the town, and the office is in the calendula bar, which also makes the bar a little more lively, and the mercenaries take the task directly to find a table in the bar or sit down at the bar to discuss the preparation of the task, or have a drink on the spot after handing in the task.
Lévy sat down on a small round stool in front of the bar and gestured to the maid, "Bring me a glass of sparkling wine." ”
The maid hurriedly mixed a glass of wine with light green foam floating on the surface and put it in front of Levi, Levi took a sip and whistled: "Oh Miss, your bartending skills are really good, give it, don't look for it." ”
Three silver coins were placed on the table, a glass of sparkling wine was just over a silver coin, and Lévy gave a one-time tip of 100 percent.
"What about the generous sir. The maid smiled and put the money away.
"Aoba juice. Alexia jumped and sat down on the round bench.
"Here, little sister. The lady-in-waiting placed a turquoise drink in front of Alexia.
Levi raised his glass to Alexia, "Aren't you able to drink, Captain." ”
Alexia took a sip of the juice, put it down, and glanced at Levi, "But I don't like it." ”
"Alas. Lévy sighed lonely, "Philip is gone, and I don't even have anyone to drink with me." ”
"Don't make a fuss. Alexia frowned, "That old gentleman doesn't look like a regular drinker. ”
"Well, you can see it. Levi turned to Miss Maid, "Niu, give me a smile." ”
"Any tips?"
"Nope. Lévy drank the wine from his glass, "But I can buy another one." ”
"Hee-hee, Mr. Funny. ”
After teasing the little maid a little, Lévi and Alexia began to chat.
“...... Actually, there's nothing special about me looking for Master Leopold. Levi shook the glass in his hand and said, "I'm just looking for my 'sword'?"
"Your sword?" Alexia said with some confusion in her tone.
Levi is a master blacksmith, and if he needs a good weapon, he can easily craft it himself.
Along the way, Alexia had never seen Levi use a sword.
"I've reached a certain limit in forging one, unless I break through again. Levy held out his hand, and the red glow of the setting sun fell mottled onto his palm through the bar's blinds.
Clenched, as if trying to hold the invisible sunlight, Levi smiled self-deprecatingly: "My sword is not worthy of my skill." ”
