ACT129: Dwarven Realm

Four days later, the Blue Grace docked at Ramses, the famous "Free Capital" of Nakapansu. Although there was a major accident such as paralysis on the first voyage, they also found the "Lost Race" bugmen, so not only did they not lose the color of this voyage, but also added a legendary color, which was talked about.

In addition to the large number of people who spontaneously gathered at the port, the official welcome group was led by the current king of the United Kingdom and the main members of the National Council, including many green-skinned goblins standing inside.

As the first free trade zone in the United Kingdom, Ramses is not the first free port in the world, but it is undoubtedly the most successful one under the management of shrewd goblins. The city's per capita income has ranked first in the world for 700 consecutive years, and it is known as "the place with the most local tyrants in the world", which is like an otherworldly version of Dubai.

When he arrives here, Weiss can be regarded as a "return to China", and his current status is Ramses's "honorary citizen", and the vulgar local tyrant gold ID card allows him to enjoy the same basic rights and benefits as ordinary local citizens here. And this thing seems to be able to be used as a "membership card", and all state-run consumption places can get a 20% discount if they have this.

When the Blue Elegance docks, the cantilevers on both sides are lowered at the same time, with a lively welcome ceremony on one side and a regular passage for passengers who need to leave immediately if they have urgent matters on the other. Weiss and the others, who didn't want to join in the fun, refused the captain's invitation and disembarked directly from the back of the life support cabin, but they encountered a little trouble when they left the port.

Shimakaze's entry permit wasn't a problem, she had already joined Weiss's team and could be counted among the "entourage" like Lena, plus the proof provided by the ship, so there was no obstacle. The main problem was that the customs officers asked to open the box for inspection, and Weiss didn't know how to open it.

There was no keyhole, no combination lock, and the smooth surface of the survival pod was only a tight slit that even a hair couldn't fit into, and the crowd didn't want to violently dismantle it, so they couldn't do anything after studying it for a week. But the customs didn't care about this, and if they didn't open the box for inspection, they could only do seizure processing, so the two sides argued for a long time.

"I'm sorry, but if you don't have special permission, this box will have to be opened and inspected. ”

"But I've told you many times, this box is a cultural relic that has just been discovered, and we haven't found a way to open it yet, don't you embarrass us?"

"Sir, this is a rule of our country, and we cannot be accommodating. ”

Just as Lytis was about to reveal his identity and see if the sign of Elric's house was working here, a goblin who looked very obscene came over and brought equipment that could help them out of the siege.

"Guys, are you struggling with how to check the contents of the box without opening it?"

"Who are you?"

"In Nizhny Freud Chaoma, he was an inventor. ”

As soon as the other party finished reporting his name and showed a badge, there was an exclamation at the scene.

Just as there is no one in the Republic of Langson who does not know the name of the "great inventor" Freud Ultrama. Even elves are impressed by the other party's attainments in the field of magic, and they have invented many strange things. If Edward is taking the mass production route, then he is undoubtedly the representative of fine products.

The old goblin first walked around the life support pod with a smile, then took out a pair of glasses like the bottom of a beer bottle from his pocket and put them on his face, stared at them for a while, and then took off the glasses and said to the customs officer.

"No problem, it's an ancient corpse with a stopped heartbeat, but the internal structure of this box is quite interesting. ”

Because he had the title of special adviser to the State Committee, his guarantee had the same effect as the special permit, and the customs immediately released them to Weiss, and everyone immediately thanked Freud, while the other party smiled and waved his hand, saying that he was also entrusted by someone to meet them.

"That little girl with black hair and red eyes over there, you're Litis, aren't you? I'm an old friend of your grandfather, and he sent me a telegram asking me to cover you here. ”

"You know my grandfather?"

"It's not just your grandfather's playboy, I also know your grandmother Wen Li. Your grandfather's telegram was sent to your grandmother, and she passed it on to me without even reading it, and I almost frightened the opening 'dear'. ”

Recalling the feeling of a thousand grass and mud horses galloping through his heart when he opened the telegram, Freud almost chose to break off relations with Edward because he misunderstood that his friend had "come out" to him.

"Come with me, I'll take you to Wen Li's villa, your tsundere grandma is probably in a hurry at this time!"

Leading the group out of the harbor, Floyd rented a tourist bus outside the door of the waiting room. When Weiss got into the car, he found that the driver was a cat in clothes, and the other party even had a cigarette roll in his mouth, giving people the style of an old driver.

"This?"

"That's the Meows, not ordinary cats, they belong to the primitive intelligent race, the common vassals of dwarves and goblins. Although they can't speak yet, they are very smart, so they are present in many service industries here in Nakapanzhou. ”

"Hey, they're all going to drive, can this still be called 'primitive'?"

"I don't think you need to think about driving that hard. ”

Sitting in a sightseeing car driven by a cat, everyone entered the city of Ramses, and the bustling city buildings lived up to its reputation as the "capital of local tyrants", and the streets were full of guys who couldn't help but want to make friends with just looking at their clothes. The shops on both sides of the street are one after another, and the windows are full of all kinds of dazzling goods, stimulating people's consumption**.

"To be honest, I don't really like the city. ”

Floyd, who was sitting in front of Weiss, suddenly said this.

"Because it's too luxurious?"

"No, not because of that, it's the lack of innovation in the true sense of the word. Most of the facilities and business models are modeled after humans, and while we do better, the original idea is not ours at the root. ”

"I don't think you really need to dwell on this, because if you really pursue it like this, you don't know who those 'ideas' are!" (To be continued.) )
