Chapter 667: Invitation

Although there are no cars in Midi, the holy city of Estali is a large city, and there is a constant stream of horse-drawn carriages carrying people and goods passing on the main roads. Therefore, pedestrians walking on the road will consciously pull to the side. If you are injured, the other party will not be a hit-and-run, but don't think about the burden of the next life, mental compensation and the like. There is no way to make money by touching porcelain in a daze.

Even so, Lin failed to increase his horsepower. Because just by pressing the throttle, the speed is a little faster than the ordinary speed of the carriage; If the throttle is fully open, not only others will be afraid, but even yourself will be afraid. It's not that I don't have confidence in the technology that I haven't driven for more than ten years, or that I'm worried that the car will fall apart, it's purely because I don't have confidence in the people on the road.

This strange machine is on the road, and it will cause everyone to point fingers, which is what someone expected. But quite a few people jumped in front of the car and tried to stop it, which was unexpected. I didn't understand what these people's intentions were, and I didn't plan to explain it to them anyway, so Lin chose to flash things directly.

If it is far away, the steering wheel hits and dodges the incoming person; If the distance is too close, just use a flash technique to throw the person from the middle of the road to the side of the road. As for whether they will be polluted by xenomorph energy, I don't care, because if they don't, they can only drive towards each other.

Someone doesn't want to drive the first car in the history of the Obsessed Land and then have the first car accident in the history of the Obsessed Land.

When the feeling came back, Lin tried to increase the speed a little. The agreed dinner venue was in District IV of the Holy City, some distance away from Area VI where I lived.

Of course, it can be done instantly, but it can take about half an hour to an hour to take a carriage, which is why someone didn't think about using it in the first place. As for how long it will take to drive, it's uncertain.

In addition to looking at his driving skills and road conditions, Lin also did some simple tests on the road. In addition to some basic braking and steering simulations, Lin also measured the car's navigation system.

Using the Arcane Eye to record town blocks, and then in turn to show them in scale-down is a trick to play hard. Based on this, designing a navigation system is a matter of course.

However, until now, there are no so-called traffic laws in the land. Therefore, in addition to the shortest distance, the only way to navigate is to set the road width to be sufficient to accommodate vehicles in parallel. If the alley is too narrow, you won't drill it.

In fact, these are not the first of their kind. As early as the overhaul of the airship Sid, related technology was used. It's just that it's an airship flying in the air, and the waterway in the air is not as complicated as the street on the ground, so the navigation system for this car needs to be adjusted.

The airship Skid has an autopilot mode with a navigation system, and the silverbearded dwarves certainly plan to do this in their cars. Although the plan proposed by the dwarves is feasible in Lin's opinion, the system that has been developed is not yet mature, so someone does not plan to hand over his life to this, so he does not open the self-driving mode of the silver beard version.

In the process of groping and testing, Lin unknowingly arrived at his destination.

A strange-looking metal monster was parked just outside the mansion, how could the guards at the door not be nervous. Especially on the day when there are guests arriving today, they are all people who have been instructed by their host to be treated carefully. Regardless of whether those few can solve the trouble by themselves, the host's family can't help the guests who enter the door to relieve their worries, and the people below can't be relieved by being scolded for 'dereliction of duty'.

However, just as one of the guards was about to poke the metal monster with the spear in his hand, he noticed that there was a person sitting inside the middle of the monster. The man poked out his head and a hand. said, "I'm here for the feast." This is an invitation letter, please confirm. At the same time, he handed out the gold-painted invitation letter in his hand.

It doesn't look like a monster. The two guards breathed a sigh of relief, regained their dignified and majestic demeanor, and after inspecting the invitation, said respectfully: "Your invitation's letter has been confirmed." I don't know ...... you."

Listening to the guards' hesitant voices, how could Lin not know what they were worried about. He said, "Please tell me where the carriage is parked." The car won't move if no one is driving in it. ”

Although I can't quite understand what this metal monster is, since this guest said that it won't move if no one controls it, it can be somewhat reassuring. In this city full of magicians, there are so many strange things that there is no standard to limit everyone, let alone a gatekeeper yourself.

Under the guidance, Lin drove the car to a pile of carriages and parked properly, and then headed towards the main house. The mansion was still in the absence of the owner's family, and the deacon who remained behind temporarily took the position of steward, standing at the door to greet the guests.

The people who participated in the banquet today were quite lively, and there were clearly two groups of people. A group of magicians, both old and young, was led by Dharma Sagil Babak Abunahan. The similarity lies in the fact that they are all dressed quite luxuriously.

The luxury here is not just about the flamboyant dress, but about the magic attached to it, which is as powerful as a man who sprays an entire jar of cologne or a woman who has a whole bottle of perfume in one breath. You don't have to get closer, you can smell the strong presence from afar.

This look that looked ready to dry up at any moment made the corners of the mouth of a certain guy who came to the banquet twitch. Thankfully, it's just a piece of equipment to wear, not a weapon to be held in your hand. If they were still holding magic wands, or other magical weapons, then today's feast would definitely be a Hongmen feast. You don't have to eat anything, you can just run or start fighting, maybe it will save you a little more trouble.

In other words, this is scared of being poked by the box cut.

The other group has a completely different temperament. No matter what, a magician will bring a temperament that has seen blood and fire and grew up in battle, and no one's hands will be clean. I haven't seen blood, and I can't cross that threshold. Magicians are obsessed, not jugglers, or only do research behind closed doors, and don't ask about the world.

But those strangers are more like well-mannered aristocrats. There are men and women, and they are all quite dignified and decently dressed. Most importantly, the men wore black tuxedos, while the women wore Victorian-style gowns. Full of lace, muslin, ribbons, ruffles, bows, as well as multi-layered cake cutting, pleats, shirring and other elements, gorgeous and subtle.

In addition to these two groups of people talking and laughing, there was also a group of armed guards standing around the wall. They were armed with short-sleeved straps and carried a flintlock pistol over their shoulders. Stand upright, like a flagpole javelin.

In fact, there have been such things as guns for a long time, and the most famous ones are dwarven muskets and goblin muskets. The former is only made by a small number of dwarves, and is considered a secret of the dwarves; The latter is so unreliable that no one dares to use it. Coupled with the fact that magic is in power, the development of hot weapons is not as enthusiastic in the land as it is on the earth.

Because guns are not taken seriously, there may not be many people who know these flintlock guns. Just looking at the magicians present, they talked and laughed freely, and they didn't look threatened at all. Someone guessed that they probably didn't know what the hell was on the shoulders of the guards around the wall.

But to be honest, even if you know, with that front-loading flintlock pistol, you really can't scare the magician. A single shot, the number of people in front of him is not large, not to mention that there are more mages here than guns.

Suppose you have to deal with yourself...... If there was a row of tyrants with Vulcan cannons standing by the wall, someone would be fine without saying a word. But a group of flintlock muskeers, who seem to be in good spirits, but are still some distance away from the real elite spirits, may be able to stay and see what the other side thinks.

He had not been standing at the door for long before he was greeted by the main inviter, the Lady Babak Abunahan. First of all, he introduced the magicians around him, they were all relatives and friends of Babak, or they were the disciples and grandchildren of these people.

After Lin and everyone saluted one by one, the Fa Sheng said politely, "Your Excellency Tripwood, I finally see you again." The mathematical knowledge in the journal is getting more and more advanced, and if you don't calm down and think carefully, you will still not be able to figure it out. And those classic problems you left behind at the end are really unsolvable? ”

Lin replied with a smile: "Your Excellency, as long as it is an existing topic, how can there be no explanation. There must be a reasonable answer, I just don't know. ”

"Why, Your Excellency's understanding of mathematics is something that many people have to look up to. I took your journal and went to ask a lot of bad old men with white beards that no one looked down upon. If you can't answer it, then who can? ”

"The vast universe is infinitely mysterious, and I am not omniscient and omnipotent, and His Excellency the Dharma Sage thinks too highly of me. But just because there is no answer today does not mean that there will not be tomorrow. We continue to improve our knowledge and nurture the next generation of talents, so that they can stand on our shoulders and move to higher places. In this matter of education, I am far inferior to Your Excellency. Lin pointed to the group of masters gathered around Babak and said enviously.

"Well said." Fa Sheng, who responded politely, suddenly hooked up with someone's shoulder familiarly, and said in a low voice: "I secretly ask you, did you really fight with that one?" ”

"Which one? Who? ”

Faced with such doubts, Babak Abunahan did not answer directly, but cautiously compared his fingers to ten and then four. Lin guessed that the other party might be referring to the fourteenth prince, Azad Kazarnia. Said helplessly: "Yes, it's really a fight." I almost perished at the hands of that noble man. It was really a fluke to be able to survive. ”

"Uh-huh, you'll have to tell me later, how did you do it." Release the hand that hooks your shoulder, and return to the normal distance of conversation. Fasage Babak Abunahan brought Lin to a middle-aged gentleman and said, "Let me introduce you to another guest today, Mr. Nguyen Van Viet from the Gia Long Chamber of Commerce. ”

Although the years have left their mark on his face, it is a radiance full of wisdom. With a well-tailored tuxedo and a shiny and elegant hairstyle, he is really a gentleman who is impeccable as well as men. He stretched out his right hand, which represented goodwill, and greeted, "Lord Tripwood, long time coming. ”

At the same time, there were young men and women standing behind him, nodding or raising their glasses.
