Chapter 172: Lighting Up and Promotion
Barbury drove the carriage of Jiayi's "New Love" to Baker Street, and today is the lighting ceremony on the street.
Jiayi's carriage was transformed by him with great effort, the bottom is suspended by an electromagnetic array, the carriage and the chassis below are separated when starting, and the wheels are also used to suspend the shock, and the whole shockproof performance is unexpectedly good, as long as it is not too big a pothole, you can't feel the bumps at all.
Of course, this set costs a lot, but if it weren't for the transformation of Jia Yi, he wouldn't have taken this carriage out, and his own ass is important. It's just that his carriage is still far worse than Magni's, and the interior of the carriage is several rooms and one living room, and Jiayi's has only one carriage, although this carriage is already considered wide.
The street lights have been built and will be lit this evening.
Fresenden decided to suspend Jiayi's opinion and hold a lighting ceremony, which was not only publicity, but also could enhance the centripetal force of the residents of Moshacher, although the centripetal force of the residents of Moshacher had already overflowed.
Do you have to live, you always have a sense of ritual, take her to the grave on the Qingming Festival, and then go to the Martyrs' Memorial Park for a walk, and eat a piece of moon cake together in the Mid-Autumn Festival.
There is a sense of ceremony.
Before they entered Baker Street, they were stopped, and they were stopped by Moshacher's Knights of Defense, which was said to be a Knights, but in fact it was almost a combination of militia and police, and the Master Mage was not interested in maintaining law and order, so there were three Knights under the command of the City Hall, which were specially used to maintain law and order.
"What's going on?" asked Winnie, who had always inquired about it.
Winnie said, "Boss, the road is closed in front, and the carriage is not allowed to enter, so you must go in." ”
"Didn't Jia Yi say that he had a good relationship with Fresenden inside? Why didn't you let him in? Did you tell them?"
Erica Baggins said and looked at Kaichi, as if he thought he was bragging.
Winnie is no longer as reserved as when she first arrived, but she still doesn't want to call Jiayi by her first name directly, but Erica doesn't have so many concerns, halflings are naturally beautiful, and they don't have a strong concept of dignity and inferiority.
In her mind, what she sold was her craft, but it didn't mean that she was inferior.
Winnie glanced at Jia Yi quietly and whispered, "I told the guards, but the guards didn't recognize it, and the road inside was blocked, and the carriage couldn't get in." ”
"Can't get in?" Selena also leaned over and asked with some curiosity.
Winnie explained: "It is said that at the beginning there was no road closure, many people came by horse-drawn carriages, and now the whole Baker Street is blocked by horse-drawn carriages, and it is impossible to enter or exit, and then the person in charge asked the town hall for help, and the city hall transferred the knights, and blocked the road, and all the carriages were only allowed to go out, not enter. ”
Winnie hadn't been around for a long time, but she was very clear.
Jia got out of the carriage and said, "Okay, it's not far here, let's go over it." Barbry, you find a place nearby to park the car and wait for us, and for this money you can find a tavern to sit in for a while, and remember not to drink. ”
As he spoke, Kaichi took out a few silver coins from the ring and handed them to Barbry.
"Okay, Boss. Barbury took the money and said respectfully.
It's always weird for someone of this age to call the boss.
Erica, Eunice, and Selena walked down from the car, several of them were girls, and the only male driver was sent away by Jiayi.
Jia Yi led them inside, and complained in his mouth: "Tell me what is the use of this carriage, but you can't even get in inside, if you ride a bicycle, you will definitely go in." ”
"So you want us to ride our bikes in our dresses?" Winnie gave Jia a blank look, thinking that it was her boss who held back, "Erica can't ride a bike." ”
Jia Yi looked at Erica Baggins, who was a little more than a meter, and there was indeed a lack of a stroller, and the rest of the women were wearing luxurious dresses, even Winnie was not wearing a robe, only Erica was wearing a slightly cute little dress, which looked like someone's child.
Jiayi and they did come a little late, he didn't expect that there were so many people idle and bored to join in the fun, now it's not completely dark It's a little better, wait until it's completely dark to see how they go back, although there are a lot of street lamps in Moshacher, but they are all oil lamps, the brightness is not very good, and the oil lamps in many places are broken.
It's a little difficult to come inside, but fortunately, someone knows Jiayi and lets them go, otherwise they may not be able to get in, this time the organization of the event is a little too rough, and it can't be compared with the previous life.
He used to go to the Lantern Festival on the Qinhuai River, with a flow of 2 or 300,000 people, although he could only walk forward and not backward, people were close to people, but they were orderly, and nothing happened, it looked like there were only tens of thousands of people here, and they were already in chaos, if it wasn't for Jiayi's magic to open the way, they would almost not be able to walk.
Coming to Fessenden's side with a little difficulty, Fessenden first complained: "Why are you only here now, the lighting ceremony is about to begin." ”
"Now?" said Kayi, looking at the sky, "didn't you say it started after dark? ”
"It's because there are too many people, so I have to start quickly, and then evacuate people, and now there are many people rushing here, and I didn't expect so many people to come over after broadcasting on the radio, if I don't evacuate people quickly, I'm afraid that something will happen. I'll take you in to see Lord Wilmot. ”
Jia Yi introduced a few people around Fesenden, and Fessenden saluted Eunice mother and daughter slightly, these two can be regarded as partners. Then he dragged Jia Yi inside and went to see Wilmot.
Kaichi had met Wilmot, waited a little longer, and waited for a few more mages, one of whom he knew was Baldwin, the internal affairs officer of the Supreme Council.
One of them came over and said to Fessenden: "It's been checked, everything is in order, it's time to start." ”
Fresenden asked Wilmot for instructions, and at Wilmot's motion, Fresenden released a loud voice that spread throughout the street: "Alright, our lighting ceremony begins now." You can see that on the poles on both sides is our new street lamp, the latest invention of the electric lamp, the brightness is dozens of times that of the original street lamp, and we will have two phases in the future..."
He Rory also said a bunch of words with a little incoherentness, and Jia Yi felt that he couldn't repeat it if he asked him to repeat it, and he didn't prepare a manuscript if he was not eloquent.
Fortunately, he didn't say much, it was indeed much simpler than the leader's simple words, and after speaking, Fresenden made a gesture, and the street lights on the whole street were immediately turned on, and the whole street immediately seemed to be daylight.
It was already dusk, and although it was not yet completely dark, the light was already dim, and now it was as if the sun had not yet set, and the whole street seemed to have a different look.
Everyone looked at the street lamp curiously, even if their eyes were dazzled by the light, they were reluctant to move away.
"This is the electric light, it's really bright, brighter than a magic lamp. ”
In fact, this is just a psychological effect, because there are too many street lights, so they appear brighter, and the vast majority of people below actually don't have the opportunity to use magic lights.
"The mage just now said that we can use such a bright one at home in the future, so it won't be a casual talk, right?"
"This lamp shouldn't be cheap, can we afford it?"
Some are full of hope, some are worried, and some are spoiling the scenery.
"A bun of dirt buns, the magic lamp is much easier to use than this, what's the big deal. ”
No one refuted his words, but everyone stayed away from him, and even such a crowded place was empty around him. Only the person who spoke was unconscious, perhaps staring up at the street lamp for too long. The eyes have been spent, and they can't see clearly.
Wilmot came to the front of the stage, looked at the crowd and the street lamps below, and said, "Yes, yes, you all did a good job, and then I will install street lights in the whole of Moshacher, as Fresenden said, and let the electric lights go into every house." I've heard Fesenden mention your idea for a power station, and it's a good idea, and it's much more affordable to use wind and tidal power than energy pools, and I'll let Magnay design the generator himself. ”
Wilmot said and patted Jiayi's shoulder with satisfaction, this time, he did it during his duty to far overwhelm the rest of the people, and he felt in a good mood when he thought about it.
"It's all Fresenden's work, and I'm just talking about it. ”
Jia Yi modestly said that this matter is indeed Fresenden's greatest credit and contribution.
He was about to look for Fresenden when he suddenly felt a strong wave of magic coming from behind him, and Kaichi looked back warily, and slid behind Wilmot.
But I saw a lot of other people who emitted magic fluctuations, it was Fresenden, who broke through to become a white-robed mage at this time.
