Chapter 256: The Basque Chamber of Commerce

The wooden elevator is quite simple in workmanship for the forest. However, the protective fence is not safe at all, but it unexpectedly allows the scenery outside to be seen. The vast scenery from the heights always makes people feel open-minded.

In summer, the mountains are lush and full of life. From time to time, birds fly by, oops! It was taken down......

This proves once again that the skies of the Lost Land are dangerous. In addition to a variety of exotic birds, there are also many winged creatures that likewise use the sky as a hunting ground.

But after all, it's not like I haven't seen similar scenery. As for the interaction between birds and other creatures, if he had a pair of binoculars in his hand, Lin might have watched it with relish. But now he turned his attention back to the structure of the elevator, observing the magical side of the world, the mechanical mastery.

The elevator is mainly inclined to two iron tracks, and the main function is not to let the elevator deviate from the moving position. The lifting mechanism is pulled by two iron chains on the track, which moves very smoothly and does not have the feeling of jamming, which makes Lin curious about what the power source of the elevator is. It's certainly not animal power, because animals won't be so smooth on traction.

As for the structure of the elevator itself, it is just a wooden cage, which is not worth mentioning.

To Lin's surprise, there was no trace of the use of magic anywhere he could see. This made Lin to the power technology of dwarves and goblins, which had been mentioned in the books. Although the technical content of the two races is different, they are both structures that do not require magic and can still function.

Although it can do more than magic, it is cheaper, and this is also because the structure and use are relatively simple. And from this lift, Lin saw the trajectory of scientific development. But magic is too strong in the Lost Lands, so science seems to be on its way. In Lin's opinion, without the accumulation in the early stage, it is difficult to have the strength to compete with magic in the later stage.

The door of the elevator is double-sided. At the lowest level, enter from the outward-facing side; When you arrive at your destination, you will leave from the mountain side. However, from Lin observing the operation of several elevators around him, he found a strange thing for him, that is, none of the elevators would stop halfway.

All elevators go straight up to a certain floor, and then go straight down to the bottom before stopping. In other words, even if you want to go to the adjacent floor, you have to run back to the first floor and sit again. For this extremely inconvenient reason, it is estimated that the staircase inside the fortress that is large enough for the army to march will also be quite lively. As for whether the teleportation array was busy or not, Lin didn't know.

The speed of going up to the twenty floors is not slow, and of course it cannot be compared with the elevators used in the skyscrapers of the earth. Soon, the two of them reached the designated floor. The fence opened on the side of the mountain will be placed by a special person to put a partition of the passage connecting the elevator to the fortress to prevent people from falling down through the gap.

As the elevator only carried two people, the waiter who answered on the target floor was confused at first. But after seeing Fen tied two golden spike threads, some people showed expressions of sudden realization, but others frowned, and there were more confusions. A great magician is definitely not an unknown person in the local area, but there is no such beauty among the great magicians in the Basque Country.

Regardless of the mental activities of the others, Fen went straight to one of the waiters and asked, "Where is the Chamber of Commerce?" ”

"Your Excellency, please come with me." The waiter simply handed over the work to his companion, and then personally led the way to the chamber of commerce. He wanted to be courteous, and he didn't know whether to hold the large container for Fen that she had been holding in her hand. It was deservedly rejected. But he still persevered in talking, as if he wanted to express himself, but Lin felt that it was more like finding out.

Forget it, anyway, the other party's focus is on Fin, and a certain man is happy to be a transparent person. He looked around at the mountain fortress carved out by the dwarves.

In the Doomsday Mountains, although I had dealt with the local dwarves, I only saw their buildings on the ground, but did not see their results under the ground. And the previous adventure experience only confirmed one thing from the side, that is, there is no historical accumulation in the Southwest Peninsula, and there are no ruins, dungeons and other areas.

In this mountain fortress, Lin is the first time to really see the cultural expression belonging to the dwarves, that is, the appearance and shape of the building.

As most people think, dwarves should live in small places. Actually, maybe the army stationed in the mountain fortress in the past was not all dwarves, but also other tall races. So when the dwarves dug this fortress, they took into account the actions of the tall ones.

But to be honest, whether it's a walkway or a habitable house, it's definitely not for human habitation. That level of height, it is estimated that even if the giant clan comes to live, it is more than enough.

If it weren't for the fact that the giants really joined the rebels in the first place, it was the dwarves' psychology of compensation, making them build everything tall. In short, such characteristics as tall and majestic can be seen everywhere in the fortress. Walking in it, you won't feel the slightest sense of oppression.

If you want to say the more peculiar place, there are many houses with roofs that are directly on the ceiling of the floor. It's like using a house as a pillar to support an entire floor of space.

The road is quite square, perhaps because it was used as a military camp in the past, and the overall layout is orderly and clear. It was precisely because of this that Lin sensed that the person leading the way led him in a small circle, instead of following the shortest route to the Chamber of Commerce.

What is the intention? Lin remained silent. He believed that the lich should have noticed it. But she probably didn't care more than she did.

As expected, there were already people waiting at the door of the Chamber of Commerce to welcome Fin's arrival. And it still seems to be a person with quite a status, not some small shrimp specially received.

"Your Excellency." The one in charge couldn't see what he was, only that he might be a half-elf, and that he was rich, and that he was dazzled by all kinds of magical accessories all over his body.

The reason why it is said that it is 'possible' is really between humans and elves, and someone is also blind and can't tell the difference. And the person in front of him said that he was a pure-bred elf, and he felt a little worse. That's why Lin didn't dare to conclude.

The man politely stepped forward, kissed the hand of the noble, and said, "We are the Babich, and I am the steward of the Chamber of Commerce, and it is a great honor to receive distinguished guests." Come in. Any need, I am sure we can meet you. Please come in and talk about it. ”

Lighting inside the fortress was a big problem. On the road outside the Chamber of Commerce, it is not bright, but the flame brings a warm light. Again, this is not a product of magic, it may be a certain skill of the dwarves to create this thing that is similar to the street lamps of the earth, and it is all over the streets.

But the interior of the Chamber of Commerce is very bright. As if showing off financial resources, in addition to wall lamps with similar shapes to street lamps, there are also night pearls and other things, inlaid on the wall, as a guide to the passage of the room, but also as an auxiliary light source. And under this light, there are all kinds of rare treasures, arranged in every place and every corner.

Everyone was welcomed into the reception room in the chamber of commerce, and naturally there was a beautiful maid serving tea. Fen was happy to put the container he had been holding on the table and savor the fine elf flower tea that he had not been able to enjoy during the journey. Although it is a big difference from coffee, it tastes good. In the absence of a choice, Fen does not reject this delicate taste.

The person opposite didn't seem to be in a hurry, just with a shallow smile, waiting for others to be unbearable, and opened his mouth hoping to get to the point. It can be said that from the moment you enter the door, a war of business negotiations begins.

After taking a few sips of tea, he pursed his lips and put the cup down. Fen didn't know if he was good at this kind of heart-to-heart confrontation, or if he didn't care about doing this kind of thing at all. She took the lead in saying: "This time, I hope to buy the ...... of Cerres steel like you."

"Please wait a minute." Babich interrupted Fin. It doesn't matter if their actions are contrary to convention. Not caring whether his behavior was as gentlemanly as his own imitation of aristocratic etiquette, he said, "Before I talk about that deal, I want to talk about another deal." ”

Lin and Fen were a little confused about this sudden move. But Babich ignored everyone's thoughts, and said respectfully with that smiling face: "Your Excellency the magician. We have a good deal and would like to discuss it with you. I'd like to be able to buy it,β€”" Babic pointed to the particular container, "and the price will definitely satisfy you. ”

During the journey, how could a man who had made up his mind to rise up allow such a request to be inactive. However, the other party only revealed the meaning of the purchase, and it was not enough to turn his face, so Lin could only choose the words carefully. Lukewarmly replied, "Mr. Babich, we came here with money, but to buy something, not to sell it." ”

"Oh, look at you with something like thisβ€”" Babich paused as he pointed to the vessel that overflowed with a colorful mist, "β€”didn't you come to the Chamber of Commerce to ask for it?" Is this my misunderstanding? It's a shame. I have a guest who is very interested in something like this. ”

As he spoke, a group of five big and three thick warriors walked outside the door, and even the magicians who entered the door were all biceps thicker than someone's thighs. They silently occupied the four corners, and more people stood behind Babich, forming invisible pressure.

Now that the sub-picture is exhausted, there is no point in arguing anything. It's just such a battle, if the one next to him doesn't do it, Lin doesn't think he has any chance. With a well-crafted outfit, you may be able to take a few burial companions with you before you die, but it is difficult to find a way to survive. I don't have the strength to crush it yet.

When he saw a group of people entering the door, Lin stood up excitedly, but he didn't know what to say. I don't want to anger others, but I don't want to admit it again.

Before Lin could react, Fen slowly took out a dry tobacco pipe made of gold and twisted the tobacco. With a flick of the fingers, a handful of flames appeared on the fingertips. He lit his cigarette and took a big puff. Want to talk about "Starry Sky of the Magic Tower" with more like-minded people,
