Chapter 1026: A Small Change in the Times II
Lin said: "What is there to deceive in my name?" If that goblin really wants to make a name for himself, wouldn't it be good to use his own name? ”
"The problem is the repair and construction of that ship, and that goblin can't handle it." Juan spread his hands with a helpless expression. "You know how many undercurrents are at work in order to get the secrets of that airship. There are some of them who intend to use drastic tactics. It's not that the goblin doesn't want to monopolize all these secrets in order to raise his worth, but it seems that he can't bear it. I thought you were being pushed out as a shield, but it seems that the goblin is telling the truth, and you're the one who really knows it all. ”
Of course, Lin knew that the airship Sid that he had modified was definitely a product of the era beyond the Lost Land. But that's just a folk version of an airship, and it's a far cry from the one with an official background. Just comparing the armament of the Gaussbergen, it is not a problem to blow up ten Sid.
At the beginning, someone helped to transform, and even contributed all the magic materials he carried with him, in order to escape from the desperate situation in the snowy mountain. According to the situation at the time, wasting resources on weapons is simply wasting the chance of being rescued. You have to be brainless to want to be a weapon in that situation.
Since armament was not necessary, someone simply did not equip the Sid with any weapons. So Lin was puzzled by Juan Javier's admiration and asked, "Is that ship really that eye-catching?" There is no means of attack, only fast. You can't see anyone hit it. ”
"You're such a good guy at analyzing mouth guns, tell me that the airship is only fast and nothing else. Is this the truth, or is it shameless boasting? You don't even notice what the goblin is doing. ”
Lin asked curiously, "What did he do?" ”
"Time is money!" Juan Javier sings in a vocal tone that someone knows so much that they can't be more familiar. He continued: "I heard that this sentence came out of your mouth. And the goblin not only preached this sentence everywhere, but also carried it forward. ”
"Well, I'm getting more and more curious."
"What the goblin is doing, in fact, is what ordinary folk airships are doing, transporting goods and carrying guests. But have you ever thought that his speed is not ordinary? For the same distance, most airships take three days, but the Sid takes less than half a day. If someone is in a hurry to get their goods delivered, or wants to get to their destination as quickly as possible, the goblin will cost three to five times the price. Although the price is quite exaggerated, not to mention that no one robs him of this unique business, and those who want to rob him can't catch up with him. ”
"Want to rob him? So exciting! Lin was surprised.
"It's definitely more exciting than you think. In the past, caravans carrying expensive goods had to increase their guard strength to ensure that the goods could reach their destinations. And these guardian forces, in addition to eliminating the magical beasts and natural disasters that may be encountered during the journey, the most important thing is to prevent other bandits with ulterior motives. Even so, the likelihood of loss is quite high. A long journey in Maze is no less than an adventure in a dungeon. But the speed of the Sid can take out many of the unstable factors. ”
"The unsettling factor? Bandit Warcraft or something, no matter what airship you face. It shouldn't have anything to do with whether or not the Sid was there. ”
"It's not wrong that bandits can't grab ships flying in the sky, but for airships, the biggest enemy is other flying monsters. However, there are no flying monsters that can catch up with the Sid at full speed. What a surprising thing for other airships that could only defend themselves by force. And that's not even counting the Sid's greatest weapon. ”
"The biggest weapon?" Someone's idea of the word is that Totokani's goblin has a whole body, or even a set of goblin artillery on the airship! If you fail to hurt others, hurt yourself first, and see if you are afraid.
"Judging by your expression, you probably think of goblin artillery or something."
Lin Gan laughed a few times.
Juan Javier shook his head and said, "Not that kind of weapon. As far as I know, it's called an engine. ”
"Engines? What's wrong with this thing? Lin was surprised, so he asked suspiciously.
"The airship's range of movement is limited by the magic tower that is willing to provide a mooring, because the only source of power and energy for a traditional airship is the semi-permanent energy pool. It is said that the engine burns a kind of black water to obtain propulsion power, reducing the consumption of the airship's energy pool. In other words, with the same power, the Sid has a wider range of activities than other airships, and even reaches places that traditional airships can't reach. How amazing do you think such an advantage is? ”
"Isn't it amazing?"
"It's scary, it's just amazing. If you think about it, the Sid can reach places that other airships can't, which means that the Sid will have more guests than other airships. So even if the cost of a ride on the Sid is much more expensive than other airships, only a few people can afford it; But such a 'few' was enough to keep the goblin busy. Now on the forum, you have to make an appointment to entrust the Sid, and it is still scheduled for half a year. In this way, he can receive more money than others on one trip, and it takes less time than others to fly, so that Sid can earn more than three or five times more money than others. ”
After listening to Juan's words, Lin glanced up and down at the great magician with a surprised gaze. But it was not the content of the conversation that was shocked, but the man who spoke. "It's not easy, except for magic and women, you haven't seen you pay so much attention to business before. Is this transsexual? ”
"Hey, thanks to you and Sid for the lead, this environment is blessed. Do you know why I was appointed captain of the Gausbocom? In particular, I also served as the head of the Royal Academy of Magic, and at the same time worked part-time in the Kingdom and the Wizards Association, which was impossible to happen before. ”
"And why?" Someone did his duty to praise and asked.
"I know a lot of people. The cost of maintaining an airship is quite high; With the opening of forums and shopping malls, people's demand for goods from afar has increased greatly. You know how many magicians are not willing to wait for a magic material for half a year like in the past, and they may not be able to wait for it. Something was previously available or not, depending on whether the capacity of the entrusted chamber of commerce was sufficient. Now through the convenience of forums and malls, you know where you want to go, all you need is to ship it. They are not short of money, and they are willing to pay a little more and get things quickly. Under this inducement, many airships came out to run business, and of course, they also transported items of considerable value and rare. Therefore, a captain who is wide-ranging and good at making friends is more important than anything else. At least to find a suitable magic tower to moor, it's not the kind of person who can't say a word of fart can do it. ”
