Chapter 555: Kindness from the Holy City
The magician who boarded the boat, using the etiquette between magicians, pressed his right hand to his heart, signaled sincerity, and greeted: "It's Your Excellency Wizard Tikar Finn Ni, and Your Excellency Magician Gabrash Tripwood. Balta, from Rumbayev, greetings to both. β
It's so polite when you meet, and to be honest, it's very uncomfortable for someone. Lin Qi Ai replied: "Ah, well, yes, hello, hello. "Fen has always been cold when he meets strangers, and he doesn't want to deal with people.
The scene cooled down for a while. Totokani, a goblin who was also a docking permit, stood aside, holding the guiding needle of the holy city of Estali and also a docked permit. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, the person on the other side was not a stuffy gourd, but a homely conversation. He looked around and said, "This is the Sid." Not only is the exterior very different from other airships, but the interior is also quite different. I guess there's a lot of new technology used here. Are you interested in making it public? β
For such a question, someone has long been prepared. Lin politely replied: "The Sid is still an experimental work, and most of the things on it are still improvised, so the durability and practicality still need more flight time verification." So we won't disclose the technology yet. Otherwise, if someone else has an accident in the air, and there is no good way to save themselves, then I will be sorry for these people. β
Although it sounds like a prevarication, it is actually Lin's real thoughts. From the time of the shipwreck in the Jura Mountains, the airship was modified and went straight to the road, and to be honest, there were no accidents along the way, and I felt very lucky.
But Sid still has some way to go if its technology is to be commercialized. The break-in of all components, the overall durability, and the degree of aging of parts after long-term use, how often they need to be maintained, and where are the areas that are easy to be damaged. These problems need to be clarified, rather than being solved in a hurry when problems occur in the air.
There are also costs such as the reduction of individual components. Before, I used all the good materials that I had worked so hard to bring out. I don't know how many parts of the device on the Sid were made from such good materials. It is necessary to find the most suitable and cost-effective alternatives before it can be considered a mature commercial technology.
Balta was not annoyed by the rejection of the person in front of him, but said respectfully: "In that case, I look forward to the day when Your Excellency thinks that this technology is suitable for disclosure." β
Hearing this, Lin also probably figured out that the other party didn't really care about the technology on the Sid, that is, he just casually found a topic to talk about. But why did you pick up this airship as a topic? That is, in his circle of friends, there is someone who cares a lot about this aspect? Lin asked curiously, "Is the matter of the Sid very noticeable?" I'm sorry, but if I'm wrong, I'll assume I'm feeling too good about myself. β
"No, Your Excellency is too modest. The movement of the Sid can be said to be the topic that everyone is most concerned about in the past few days. Ordinary airships have to reach the Holy City from the border of the Empire, and if they are anchored in the city every day to rest, the whole journey takes about two months. Even if someone is in a hurry, they only stop when they have to replenish their supplies, and they fly at night, it will only reduce the time of XX (20) days, and it will still take more than a month to arrive. Your Excellency's Sid has arrived from the border in less than 4 days, and at this rate, there is no way not to pay attention. β
Someone certainly knew that the Sid was fast, even faster than most of the airships. But the attention is so high, but it is unexpected. But that's not a bad thing.
When you come to an academic mecca like Estari, you are most afraid that no one will know you. After becoming famous, although there will be people who don't like you, there should be people who are willing to support you. So seriously, it's a mixed bag.
But it's much better than being obscure and running into walls everywhere. Even if you say that you are the creator of the forum and the co-creator of the P language, you still have to find a way to prove it in order to win the trust of others. That's one of the downsides of wandering.
Since the results of the Sid can be used as a knocking brick, Lin also adjusted the follow-up arrangements. But before he could think about it, Balta asked again: "I wonder what your Excellency came to Estali for?" β
"Oh." His thoughts were interrupted, and Lin subconsciously responded, but there was no follow-up.
But Balta was busy and said, "Don't get me wrong, Your Excellency. I'm just wondering what your Excellency is for, and maybe I can introduce some big people who can help. And a few teachers who are very attentive to me also hope to meet you. β
"Oh, I hope to find a funder for the construction of the Magic Tower, is there a way for you?"
Someone's request made Balta stagnant, and the old man was speechless for a long time, which also made the scene a little embarrassing. Lin smiled, tried to dissolve the cold atmosphere, and said, "Haha, I know this kind of thing is very special, so I just want to see if there is a chance." For kind invitations, as long as I have time, I will not decline. But as you can see, Your Excellency, I have only just arrived in Estali. β
"Of course, of course." When Balta got down the stairs, he asked, "Do you have any acquaintances in the Holy City?" Need a guide? - " As he spoke, he pulled a tomboy-like apprentice from behind him, "If you don't mind, let me, the apprentice, lead the way." Maybe she doesn't dare to say that she is familiar with the whole city, but she can find reputable people to assist in matters big and small in Area VI. β
"Oh, that's a great help, thank you so much. I'm just wondering where my Estali life is going to begin. Can you bother this ,...... - ""Your wife, my name is your. "βAll right, your, take my apprentice and hire the carriage. I had a bunch of luggage to deliver and a place to live temporarily. β
"Yes, sir, yes. I don't know who wants to come with me? Ur seemed anxious to get things done, and spoke a little hurriedly.
The girl actively wants to show her attitude, and Lin will not be disgusted. He asked his two apprentices to follow, and by the way, he recognized the way. Ezio, who is not very good at talking, except for Augustus, is the most clingy to Harumi, so he pesters her to go with her. 53 Chinese Net
Regarding the unsafe environment for the newcomer, Lin was still a little skeptical at first, whether to let three young girls who had just become adults, plus a child who was not even able to run easily, go out by himself.
However, seeing that the lich has a big heart and began to order some additional tasks, I think these two girls were trained by the lich a while ago, so they should have made some progress. And there is also a your who can be regarded as a land snake, and he should not be so unlucky that he will run into unsolvable trouble when he goes out.
As for Augustus, because it was not very convenient to walk, and the dragon was lazy, he had no intention of having to keep up. With a wave of his hand, he let Ezio play by himself.
With a move, the box cuts to the beginning. Lin handed the chattering sword into the hands of the nearest girl, and said, "Take it." Even if you can't defend yourself, you can still use it as a warning bell to scare people. β
But Halumi looked disgusted, twisted the box with his fingers, and said, "I swear not to use the things that are sharpened, don't you know?" β
Without waiting for the girl's teacher to reply, the disgusted weapon said dissatisfiedly: "Where did I strike?" Where did I strike? Look at the blade of my sword, even if you call a strong man to cut the raw meat, it will not cut the meat for half a day, at most it will only wear out the skin. Look, is there a more peace-loving sword in this world than mine? β
"Evil." The dissatisfied girl made a strange expression.
Teachers are a little helpless, I really don't know where they learned their stubbornness. I can only say: "If you don't want to take it, just take it for Kaya." Anyway, he's going to contact me faster than you do. β
Harumi hurriedly cut the box to Kaya, and the black-haired and brown-skinned girl grabbed the blade directly, trying to carry it on her shoulder, and tried to tie it around her waist and hold it in her hand, anyway, it was all kinds of uncomfortable. The box cut was no longer polite, and said some trash talk to the two girls. But Harumi replied more, and Kaya remained silent.
After seeing off the three children, one child and four children, Lin turned to Balta and said, "Thank you for your help. However, you still have to charge for the airship docking fee here, about us......"
"No, Your Excellency."
Well, which trick is this? Lin looked confused.
Balta smiled and said, "I'll take care of that fee for you." Now, please settle down. β
"So those teachers of yours......"
"When everything is ready, we will send you an official invitation."
"That's good. Then we'll see you again. Lin touched his heart with his hand and bowed. At the same time, he said, "But it's great to meet sensible people." I thought that as soon as I arrived, there would be the kind of troublesome people who treated people they didn't know as fat sheep and blackmailed them when they met. β
Balta returned with the same courtesy, smiling and saying, "Whoever can ride in an airship is either rich or noble, or a magician himself. Ordinary ruffians and hooligans would not provoke such a person if they had a little heart. And those who are like those who are short-sighted probably won't live long. The people of Estali are still very magician. β
The implication is that after everyone finds out the details of their opponents, they can be bullied. It won't be like those who have fewer brains before, and they can't figure out who the opponent is, so they want to be tough. When you kick the iron plate, then the whole family will die. For the evil smile in Balta's eyes, Lin had to respond with a few dry laughs.
After a few more pleasantries, Balta left with a group of men.
At this time, Fen stepped forward and asked, "Do you believe that they have no malicious intent?" β
"The so-called malice and goodwill are only a matter of degree. In short, we have the benefits they crave. There is nothing wrong with using this to open up the situation for Estali. Or do you want to stand on the street shouting and selling your skills? β
"Well, forget it."
The crowd did not wait long, and the two maidens, led by your, hired back two carriages and coachmen. The group carried all the luggage on the Sid onto the wagon.
