Murphy left.

But Xiao Weiming had a bitter face, just now because she participated in the "fraud" against Lord Murphy, which caused her favorability of the Murphy descendant to decline with Lord Murphy.

This made Xiao Weiming very uncomfortable, so after Murphy left, she pounced on Meng Haha and scratched her itchy flesh wildly, forcing Meng Haha to make a "military order" that she must come up with the finished product as soon as possible, so as to save her precarious image in the eyes of Lord Murphy.

"Ah, don't be afraid, this thing is easy to do."

Meng Haha comforted the pouting little reeds and said to her:

"I have ready-made drawings there, and when I go back and pick out the most suitable radio for the Translancian version, maybe the walkie-talkie will be a good fit, if it is going to be used in the military field.

We do need to have our own secure communication network, and at the moment the Computing Orb is the most basic psionic communication popularization on this continent, but this thing, as I said earlier, is completely in the hands of the halfling.

For people who don't understand engineering, it's a black box that can't be parsed.

I guess that the reason why the halfling wants to distribute the calculation orb is most likely to have dark thoughts about mastering the intelligence network on the mainland in the future.

The more widespread this thing becomes, the more exaggerated the halfling's ability to access information.

Actually, I suspect that Spyk Flywheel has nothing to do with the halfling, but he must have had the support of the Steam Lord Council behind his sale of the Orb to other forces.

Tsk, this continent looks chaotic, but when you dig deeper, it's not difficult to find that it's indeed an undercurrent. ”

"I don't care anyway!"

Xiao Weiming didn't think about it so much, she folded her arms and levitated, and shouted:

"I'm a die-hard fan of Lord Murphy, and whoever opposes Lord Murphy will blow his dog's head with a gun! Alas, it's really miserable that poor Terranova didn't get a spot this time, but she definitely said that she will be there next time she enters the game.

Keep busy here, I'll have to convince my parents. ”

The little man pushed open the door, waved his hand at Meng Ha and said:

"Maybe my parents will come to accompany me in the next version, don't you have friends to pull in to play?"

"I'll have you all it takes."

Meng Ha waved his hand and said:

"I don't need that many friends to get it, and besides, we have enough people coming in."

"What?"

"It's nothing, let's go play, remember to have a dinner in Dongshanju tonight, look at me I cheated the funds, I'll pay for the dinner tonight!"

"yes."

——

Murphy didn't actually go far.

He hid in the shadows of the city's business district and looked at the location of the Pride of the Silver Moon, and Moeha's true identity couldn't be hidden from him, but with so many people lurking in the city, there was no need to keep an eye on this physicist who was occasionally a little off the line.

But there was a sentence that reminded Murphy just now.

She said that all the secrets of the Arithmetic Orb were in the hands of the Halfling, which in itself was a very terrible situation, and Murphy had been using the system without even noticing this link, and that the Arithmetic Orb in his hand had been cracked by the Flywheel, but the Flywheel was not the only guy in the Halfling who had studied the Arithmetic Orb.

This set of things is 100% safe in Transnesia, but once you enter the port of Chardo, it is estimated that there will be problems soon, and being monitored is the most optimistic situation.

Don't forget, the Tower of the Ring has also participated in the upgrade and research and development of the Orb of Operation, and with the current situation that a lot of relevant information in Transncia is circulating in the Orb of Operation, once Murphy and the Tower of the Ring are confronted, information leakage alone will be a big problem.

You have to prepare early!

Moeha's radio communication is just one of the links.

From the point of view of secrecy, Murphy felt that he should perhaps dig deeper into the creator's technology, and it was absolutely impossible to not have a communication system at the level of black technology that could realize the transformation of the world, and the quantum communication on his Far Traveler armor had proved that there was definitely something similar in the Creator's bequest.

Maybe I should go to the Land of Origin after the Black Plague and give the player system and Transncia a comprehensive technological upgrade.

But the road has to be taken step by step, the meal has to be eaten step by step, at least at this point in time, I still have to rely on the upgraded version of the operation orb that the old flywheel is about to come out to maintain the player system.

What's more, this thing is indeed easy to use, it is developed by "locals", which is obviously more suitable for the life constitution of this era, and after it has a better one, it may also trigger a "productivity revolution" if this thing is devolved to the people.

There is also the "Midnight Sun" legion that he wanted to create before.

The heirs he currently recognizes among the players are Xiao Wei Ming and Pants Off Demon Ah Feng, and he has to find a way to find some more "firm" guys to fill this organization.

Although I don't know what I want to do with this organization in the future, I think it's a good moral character to be prepared.

Then it's time to look for more among players.

Happy Bar may be a good target, this guy has the ability and ambition, and more importantly, he is now as "hearty" as the Gray Man and Niu Niu.

"Huh"

Murphy's wings spread out, allowing him to soar towards the halfling airship hovering high above the edge of the city, intending to "investigate" the large vehicle that was listed as an "engineering marvel" alongside the halfling's steam train.

The shape of this airship is very similar to that of the Hindenburg airship, both of which use a cigar-shaped super-large balloon as a floating power, and a steel structure hull is fixed underneath, with a length of about 200 meters, which is an out-and-out "aerial monster".

Probably to alleviate the pressure on the people on the ground, the halflings also painted their company logo on both sides of the balloon with a very wonderful technique, a few gears plus a few flowers and a big smiley face, as well as the artistic font name of the "Perfect Shipping" company to express the "peaceful nature" of this thing.

Murphy had spoken to the old flywheel, and the gloomy master engineer told Murphy that the halfling, which was invented more than two hundred years ago, was not in danger of catching fire and exploding in the air, and that it was said that the halflings had adopted a safer special gas to prop up the balloon and provided an almost unscientific super-buoyancy force.

Although the old flywheel didn't say it explicitly, Murphy could probably guess that there must also be burning gold in the gas composition of this thing, which is a "universal substance" that turns decay into magic.

The super buoyancy makes this airship much more capable of carrying capacity than the poor Hindenburg airship, which can only carry less than 100 passengers.

After nearly two centuries of continuous improvement and enhancement by halflings, its maximum carrying capacity can even reach hundreds of tons, of course, this huge volume can only carry such a small amount of goods sounds very inefficient, but considering that this thing is essentially a super large hot air balloon, so don't be so demanding on it.

"Yo guys, your airship is awesome!"

Murphy flapped his wings closer to the behemoth suspended in the wind, and he could see the airship swaying in the air as the cold wind of Translancia blew.

It seems that this thing, like the airship in another world, has a changeable climate as its natural predator, and a storm can easily bury it.

In the face of his greeting, the halfling mechanic, who was sitting on the half-open stern platform at the stern of the airship and fishing with a telescope, was startled, and the guy in the crew uniform was very nervous to hide the pipe in his hand, and then asked loudly:

"Vampires! Don't approach our ship so casually, the Good Luck is being overhauled. ”

"Really? I didn't see everyone on the ship busy, I even saw a cunning little guy hiding in the stern enjoying tobacco. I guess for airships, the strict prohibition of fireworks is just a basic clause, right? ”

Murphy folded his wings and landed steadily on the platform.

In the face of his ridicule, the halfling who was caught did not panic at all, probably because these guys who have been "running boats" outside all the year round are a little more social, and the halfling in front of him, who is only as tall as Murphy's waist, made a rude gesture.

The halfling, whose skin was a little grayish-blue, said in a loud voice:

"Our airships won't be ignited by a fire, the great sages solved this problem more than a hundred years ago, and you won't light it with a torch and throw it on a balloon, you idiot vampire!

This ship is on special duty, I can't allow you to board our ship so casually and report your identity, thank you!

Otherwise, I'll call someone.

A number of vampires have tried to sneak up these days, but we've all refused. ”

"My name is Murphy, the owner of this land, and I am your employer."

Murphy spread his hands and replied very gently and gentlemanly:

"The Hoffman family paid three months' rent, I think you should know who you're going to serve next, and as an employer, do I have to check on board?"

"Of course not, you're a big shot."

The crew pouted, opened the door to the airship, and made a pretentious "please" gesture, saying:

"Please go to the captain's quarters and talk to our captain, who will be sure to prepare a good dinner for you, and maybe even light a candle."

"I'm here for the first time, shouldn't you lead the way?"

Murphy Says:

"And I'm curious, why do you keep taking off after unloading and don't want to fall? Do you know that my people have been discussing how arrogant you halflings are for the past few days, and are not even willing to set foot on the land of Translasia.

Maybe you should give me an explanation. ”

"Ugh"

Murphy's question embarrassed the halfling in front of him.

As he led the way in front, he took off his sailor's hat and brushed the few strands of hair that had left, and his face, which was more delicate than human, revealed a hint of embarrassment, and the strange eyes of the man rolled around, and under Murphy's gaze, the halfling said embarrassedly after several seconds:

"That. The captain didn't let us get off the ship, but we all wanted to go around the vampire city, and when we were unloading the cargo before, someone went to a small stall and bought some local snacks, which tasted really good.

But it can't be helped.

On this ship, Captain Paula's words were orders, she would not allow us to go down, and we would have to stay here. ”

"Why?"

Murphy followed the crew all the way through the very clean cabins and decks inside the airship, and saw a lot of idle crew members sitting in the dining room playing cards.

The airship was almost entirely halfling, with only a few human crews, and Murphy had seen a lot of strange devices that had been maintained, presumably because dealing with machinery made it difficult for other races to adapt to the working environment here.

In the face of his questioning, the halfling crew member lowered his voice helplessly and said:

"Don't tell the captain that I said it, I heard it was because Captain Paula was kidnapped by unfriendly vampires when she was transporting the wounded in Transsya in her last ship, the Shock Hammer, during the last Black Plague.

The badass vampires force Captain Paula to attack the Gnolls with her ship, resulting in the tragic fall of the Shock Hammer and the death of Captain Paula.

After that, she didn't have much affection for the Translancians.

If she hadn't had a long-term contract with Hoffmann, she wouldn't have come to Transnesia with her second ship.

She's biased against you, you know? Friendly vampire, Captain Paula is a very stubborn person, and she says it's to protect us from the savage Transans.

But actually, when the goods were unloaded that day, the red-haired Archon lady I met was really outstanding, and her officials were very friendly, and they had arranged for us to stay in the best hotel in the area, and gave us free meals.

I've heard that there are also great casinos in the area.

Alas.

There's no way around it. ”

"Phew, I see, then let me talk to Captain Paula, who has been hurt by the Translansians, so leave a shadow, and I promise, you can go to the Crimson Keep and Booty Cove tonight.

Remember to have enough money on hand.

You can play for a long time, this is the friendship of landlords that we people in Translancia should fulfill. ”

Murphy smiled, made a thankful gesture to the crew, and opened the door to the captain's room.

What catches your eye is a lavish wooden cabinet filled with skeiosmorabilia from around the world, with a mechanical rudder hanging from the top, representing the captain's vast sailing experience.

Because of the size of the airship, the captain's cabin is also very large, and there is even a cubicle for resting, an office area for reception, and even a small wine cabinet.

Murphy looked at the nostalgic style of the steam-mechanical refrigerator on the wine cabinet, wasn't that the same "mechanical 800" model he used when he and Tracey were dependent on each other before?

"Hey! Vampire, who allowed you to step into my office? I hate vampires! ”

A sharp voice sounded from the other end of the captain's room, and Murphy turned around to see a halfling female captain wearing a majestic black captain's suit, wearing a sailing cap but with long blue hair, and less than 1.4 meters tall, brandishing a revolver, and shouting to him viciously:

"Name it! You bastard didn't even have an appointment! ”

Upon seeing the halfling, Murphy knew why Captain Paula was hostile to the Transnsian, and the blue-haired halfling had a scar on the side of her supposedly delicate face, which severely ruined her appearance.

And her right arm is a silver-gray manipulator, and a black, large-caliber muzzle pops out of it at this time, aiming at Murphy.

If I'm not mistaken, these two things are probably the last time she got a "souvenir" in Transnesia.

"My name is Murphy, the local governor."

Murphy made a gesture of surrender, and he said to the halfling in front of him:

"I've come to talk to you about business, to be exact, I have a commission to give you and your ship, and I'll pay double. No, triple the pay, one of which is a 'mental loss' paid to you on behalf of Translasia to show how much the land hurt you years ago.

But trust me, the bastard vampire who hurt you back then is gone.

Even Salokdal is history. ”

"Don't try to buy me with money! Cunning vampires. ”

Captain Paula gritted her teeth and scolded:

"No amount of money can buy back my Hammer, which my father left me! That's my dream girl, bastard, it's the best airship in the world, and I've lost it. Lost forever!

My contract with Hoffmann requires me to stay here for three months, and of course I will do what you tell me to do, but that doesn't mean I like Transia.

That's just because I have good work ethic.

Now please leave the ship!

Leave my office at least. ”

Seeing that the halfling man was so resolute, Murphy could only sigh that the Translancians had done all the bad things, and then planned to turn away, but at this moment, the door to the captain's room was pushed open, and the drunken first mate Carlisle came in and shouted:

"Hey, Paula, why haven't you come yet? We're going to finish the third round. Hey! Handsome Murphy? What are you doing here, you landlubber? ”

"I want to ask you."

Murphy looked at First Officer Claire in surprise, and he said:

"What are you doing with a pirate running away from someone's airship?"

"Well, Paula is the seller of the Blooddread Fleet in the port of Chardo, I have known her a hundred and fifty years ago, and before that, her father was my best halfling friend, and their family's first pot of gold was obtained by helping our Blooddread Fleet repair ships and build cannons.

After little Paula lost her airship due to an unpleasant accident, the captain and I funded her comeback.

Ah, it occurred to me that Paula's airship seemed to have crashed in Transnesia, and no wonder she didn't have a good opinion of the people in this place.

Tsk, look at the depression on Shuai Murphy's face, he must have been scolded by the grumpy Paula just now, right?

Don't care.

Paula has such a stinky temper, she's actually quite nice, this little man is the most business-savvy and daring halfling I've ever seen.

It's all here, let's have a drink, right?

Paula!

Give me a face, recognize Shuai Murphy as a friend, and others are actually quite good. ”
