Chapter 366: Buy a ticket
"Where are I going to buy a ticket?"
Jia Yi stood on the street of Beishui City, looking dazed.
He was going to take an airship to Memphelbo, but this was indeed his first time flying by airship, and he had come by land, so he really didn't know where to buy a ticket.
He just knew that the airship was standing in Beishui City, but where was it in Beishui City? Jia Yi looked around, but he didn't see anything that looked like the next airship could stop.
Originally, he was going to be with Eunice and them, but because the matter of the elf rice on the side of the academy had to be explained clearly, and by the way, there were still things that needed to be guided, so it was delayed.
If you don't make a clear arrangement, Jia Yi and the professors of the academy are not at ease, but Eunice and the others are in a hurry to go back to see the situation, so they go back first, resulting in Jia Yi coming over alone to take the airship.
As for his little friends, Jia Yi doesn't have to go to class, but March doesn't have that kind of treatment.
Now, he almost felt like he was going to college for the first time, and he was the same person at that time, carrying a backpack and a suitcase in his hand, with a little curiosity and a little pride.
Now he did carry a bag, but except for a little bread and a few clean clothes, the rest of the things were in his bracelet, and this bag was actually an ornament.
There was no way, he decided not to embarrass himself, find someone to ask, he was still quite confident that he could find a place, but he didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly.
Looking for a shop, Jia Yi walked in and went to the guy in front of the counter and asked, only to know that the airship is not in the city, to be precise, there is no airship in the city, because this is a big challenge for the city's defense.
In order to consider the sense of security of the rulers in the city, airship stations are generally not located in the city.
Beishui City doesn't have to worry too much about the so-called sense of security, it doesn't even have a city wall, but the place inside the city is too small, and the airship station is too big, so it is set in a valley not far from the city.
The land in the city is expensive, just like an airport, you can go as far as you want, and the airport also needs to consider noise, and airships don't even need to think about this.
"Just follow the main road. Standing "outside the city gate", Jia Yi muttered to himself.
The so-called city gate, in fact, does not have such a gate, that is, it goes out of the city along the main road, and there are no buildings on both sides.
Jia Yi looked at the road under his feet, this road is quite exquisite, all of them are made of large stones, and the surface is very wide, at least as wide as eight lanes.
There are already a lot of ruts on the road, which are recessed in the ground, like railroad tracks, but in general there are still four ruts back and forth, but there are many forks on it, which are much shallower.
Kaichi looked at the road and couldn't see the end at all, thought about it, took off his backpack, and pretended to take something from the backpack, but in fact, he took out his skateboard from his bracelet.
Riding on the skateboard, he slid forward (flew?), about 4 or 5 kilometers away, turned a bay, and in a small valley, Kaichi saw his destination.
The valley is not very large, the slopes on either side are not very high, the whole valley is only the size of nine or ten football fields, and in the middle of the valley is a huge clearing. The ground is very flat, and on the open space, stones of different colors are used to build a six-pointed star pattern in the middle.
Jia Yi took a look, there were three airships parked inside, less than Jia Yi imagined, but not so few, although there were airships, but there were no people, maybe he came late.
He saw a building on the right side of the valley, made of three floors of stone, and he turned the direction of the skateboard and "flew" over.
Inside, he got off the skateboard and stepped forward to find the front desk: "Can I buy the airship ticket here?"
At the front desk was a young man who looked quite delicate, he saw the mage badge on Jia Yi's chest, and hurriedly saluted Jia Yi and said, "Mage, yes, you can buy tickets here." ”
He spoke in a somewhat hesitant tone, as if it was strange that Jia Yi would come here to buy a ticket, but Jia Yi's skill level was not high, so he didn't even see it.
"Oh, then get me a ticket to Memphelbo. ”
"Okay, okay. As he spoke, he hurriedly ran out, and was about to run away, but stopped again, "One gold coin in the ordinary class, 10 gold coins in the special class, which one do you want?"
Jia Yi looked at this guy who was a little busy, and couldn't help but be a little funny, is this person a newcomer? The business doesn't look very familiar.
"What's the difference between stateroom and ordinary class?"
This state-class cabin is not cheap, a 10-fold gap, and 10 gold coins, not to mention well-off, even medium-sized people can't spend so much money in a year, so it's not to use the monopoly position to charge indiscriminately.
The guy had calmed down at this time, stabilized his mood, and began to introduce: "The ordinary cabin has only one seat, and you can only rest on the seat throughout the whole process, but the special class can have a small room and rest alone, although the room is not big, but it is much better than the ordinary cabin." ”
Jiayi originally wanted to use the ordinary cabin, and he didn't want to waste it so much, but as soon as he heard the guy's introduction, he immediately dispelled this idea, so don't save money and take the special class.
Although he had never been to the Monfilbo airship, he knew that the whole journey would take about 3 days, and for such a long time, it would be too much to stay in a small seat, so Jia Yi thought about it and gave up.
"Get me a first-class ticket. Kaichi said.
After listening to Jiayi's words, the guy immediately walked quickly to another counter and fetched a ticket for Jiayi.
He handed the ticket to Jia Yi, and then whispered, "10, 10 gold coins." ”
Looking at this, it looks like selling tickets for the first time, and I'm still a little shy.
Jia Yi shook his head, took the ticket with his right hand, and then reached into his pocket with his left hand, but took out 10 gold coins from the storage bracelet and handed them to this little brother.
Seeing this little brother hurriedly take the gold coin and then hurriedly send it to another counter, Jia Yi only understood a little at this time, he should have gone to the wrong counter, this little brother's counter is not selling tickets on this side, but on the other side.
I didn't react just now, but the service attitude of the staff here is really good.
Jia Yi was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something, quickly stopped, and turned around, just as the little brother was back again.
He asked, "With so many airships out there, which one arrived in Memphelbo, and when did it take off?"
"Three days later, the airship had just been gone for two days, and it would arrive one day later, and it would take off three days later. The little brother replied quickly.
"Three days? And what about the airships out there?"
Seeing Jia Yi's surprised look, the guy explained: "Those airships are going to other places, there are only two flights of airships to Memphelbo, alternate sailing, one flight every five days, one shift at the end of the month, used to overhaul the airship, and now the most recent flight is three days later, thanks to your early arrival, otherwise you wouldn't be able to buy a special class airship ticket." ”
Only then did Jia Yi know that it was no wonder that Eunice was in a hurry to leave first, it turned out that he was in order to catch up with the airship of the previous class, otherwise, he would have to wait for several more days.
In fact, it is no wonder that the cost of the airship is expensive, and there are not many passengers, which affect the frequency and price of the airship, and in turn, the ticket price of the airship also affects the number of passengers, and the revenue cannot keep up.
If the cost of the airship cannot be greatly reduced and the flight speed can be increased, it can be seen that the price of the airship cannot be reduced, in fact, it is lowered, and there are not many people who need to use the airship.
Jia Yi thought about it for a while, this thing didn't have much to do with him, he was about to go out, and then he thought of something, and reminded the little brother:
"Your ticket sales place is a little too far away, and you have to hire a car to buy a ticket, which is too cumbersome. ”
There are no buses or taxis, so it's too inconvenient to come and go.
The little brother was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, and whispered: "There are also places to sell tickets in the city, but although we also sell tickets here, there are very few, especially those like the mage, who came so long in advance." ”
Most of the time, the airship station is a temporary ticket for people who came in a hurry and didn't have time to buy tickets, but most of them don't come inside to buy tickets, and they buy tickets directly at the airship door.
I can't complain that the little brother here is not familiar with the business.
Jia Yi was stunned, and was about to blame the person who pointed the way, but then he remembered that when he asked, he asked where the airship was standing, not where the ticket office was.
