Chapter Seventy-One: Secrets, It's All Secrets! (Ask for follow-up)
Two days later, a convoy of sturdy camels slowly walked along the official roads of the harbor city.
At the front of the convoy, in the lavishly decorated carriage, an old wizard was staring out the window, surveying the layout of the city's buildings.
"Mr. Tik, do you think this continent could really be spherical?" Beside him, a gorgeously dressed wizard was staring at a gold coin and a copper coin tossed in his hand, and asked curiously.
"Rohr, I'm afraid no one can really affirm or refute this conjecture until it has been thoroughly verified......" Tik took a long time to look away from the rows of houses of the same length and width, and then continued.
"It is rumored that there is a legendary wizard in the council who is proficient in elementalism, after knowing this conjecture, is ready to use flying magic to fly high in the sky to confirm whether the continent is round or flat......"
"The result?" Rohr asked curiously.
"Until the time we left, the lord hadn't returned!" Tik said, shaking his head.
It's been a few days, hasn't it?
Could it be...... Rohr shuddered, but then dismissed the idea, although he had not really seen the power of the legendary wizard, he also understood that it was absolutely unimaginably powerful.
It seems that the safety of these big people is not their turn to worry about a small character.
"Anyway, once this news is released, all the wizards of the Prophecy School are afraid that they will quarrel." Tik said with emotion.
The wizards of the prophetic school always tried to interpret the revelation of fate from the trajectory of galaxies, and the star charts that circulated in the wizarding lands were the work of them, and Lynn's planetology undoubtedly completely refuted this theory.
Naturally, Tik is happy to see this happen.
In his view, the school of prophecy is completely wasting the council's funds, only coming up with something that sounds like a cloud, and then explaining it word by word based on facts after the event has happened, making it unclear whether this is a successful prophecy or a fabricated lie.
Rohr didn't care much about the thoughts of the wizards of the prophetic school, but pondered in his mind another theory that the wizard named Lynn had mentioned, the law of free fall.
The acceleration of an object falling is independent of its weight and mass, and when two objects with different masses fall from the same height, they will hit the ground at the same time.
Tried to make this theory verified by some great wizards, but it was still a little too abnormal to be true.
Could it be that if you lift a pebble and a whole mountain to the sky, they will also fall to the ground at the same time?
Rohr tried to toss the gold and copper coins in his hand, and there was no doubt that the larger gold coins fell first.
As he pondered, the convoy slowly stopped.
"What's going on?" Luo Er asked with a little dissatisfaction, this should not have reached the Iyeta Academy of Magic.
"Wizard, it's the road ahead that is blocked." The servant who harnessed the camel beast hurriedly explained.
Rohr rolled the curtains, and immediately saw countless townspeople gathered around the square, as if discussing something.
"What's going on?" Tik asked, too, having heard the same noise from the outside world.
Tik looked ahead, in the middle of the square, taking advantage of the height difference brought by the carriage, and the huge, strange alchemy machine was soon presented to the two of them.
It's two stories tall, and it's divided into two parts.
Above was an upside-down oval-shaped sphere, estimated to be more than twenty meters long, and below was something similar to a ship, but it looked much smaller, less than a third the size of an oval sphere, and was bound by sturdy slings in the middle.
"Is this the alchemy machine that Master Helram has recently developed? It's huge! Rohr said with emotion, this is simply bigger than those golems in the wizarding city.
"No, I don't think I'm afraid it has anything to do with Lord Hellam......" Tik retorted after listening to the noise around him for a moment.
The townsfolk here talk about Lynn the most, Lydia, and a thing called an airship.
Airship...... Is that the name of this alchemy machine?
"So, is it related to the wizard from the Sekas Empire? It's funny...... Let's walk over and have a look! Rohr stepped out of the carriage and said with interest.
……
On the other side, in the middle of the city square, Lydia and her airship were already surrounded by onlookers, from children of seven or eight years old to able-bodied farmers, who wanted to touch the behemoth, which was taller than a house.
More than a dozen halflings, like guards, surrounded the perimeter of the airship, with proud expressions on their faces, this is a treasure that they have spent most of their months working hard to make!
A playful boy secretly climbed up the sculpture, struggled to straighten up, raised his hand high, poked at the bottom of the airship airbag, felt the soft touch, and found that he couldn't pierce the seemingly weak airbag at all, so he retracted his hand, but his eyes were always staring at the big airship in front of him.
"Aha! It's so soft~" The rest of the naughty children also climbed up curiously, and also touched the airship with their rough hands, and shouted excitedly.
Darren was immediately startled and hurriedly jumped up, trying to drive the other party away, but he was too short to reach even if he jumped, so he could only scold with an embarrassed face.
"Go, go, go...... Don't break it for me, I can't afford to sell you! ”
Although the airbags made of camel leather are very strong and difficult to cut with knives, they have put all their energy and savings into this flight experiment, and they will not tolerate the slightest mistake.
"Uncle Darren, how did you pull such a big thing over? It's called an airship, can it really fly? The boy at the head was not afraid of Darren, who was not as tall as himself, and asked with a smile.
The onlookers were also extremely curious, judging from the appearance, this thing called an airship would weigh tens of thousands of pounds, but Lydia and the others were able to move this thing from the workshop on the west side all the way to the square.
"You don't understand this, this thing just looks big but it's not heavy at all...... No, you can't say that, it shouldn't be heavy to push, I heard the wizard say that it's because the lift cancels out most of the gravity, plus the pulley at the bottom, so it's not tiring to move at all......"
Darren said triumphantly, his beard was cocked, but before he finished speaking, he was stepped on by Lydia heavily, and then he reacted, and suddenly changed his expression, staring at everyone present like a thief, and said with a serious expression.
"Confidential, it's all confidential!"
