The next day was the day of the departure of the airship for the regular traffic in the town of Nanata.

This airship is a genuine airship, relying not on the anti-gravity magic array, but on hot buoyancy, the power is a simple wind magic array, the flight altitude is probably less than a kilometer, the speed is also quite slow, and the advantage is cheap.

The gondola under the airship is not big, there is a row of seats inside, there is no compartment, but there is a toilet, you can bring your own food, and the flight time is two days.

Looking out of the porthole of the airship, you can clearly see the winding road below, in fact, you can also reach Junli City by land, but it will take five or six days, which is naturally far worse than a comfortable airship.

In fact, Simon is also taking an airship for the first time, he is suppressing the excitement in his heart, for fear of losing face in front of Lin Shu and the two beautiful ladies, there are not many people on the airship, the seats are not full, Lin Wei and Oliel's beauty has indeed attracted the attention of many people, but after hearing the conversation between Simon and Lin Shu, and vaguely knowing that Lin Shu and others are relic hunters, these merchants or hunters with a little money are very consciously dispelled the little dirty thoughts in their hearts.

"Simon, you're on an airship for the first time, right?"

"Yes, let the gentleman smile?"

"Hehe, you care too much, people come like this, many of the first time everyone is actually the same, I was so excited and curious when I first took the airship, looking at the ground below, I was also amazed. ”

Lin Shu said with some emotion in his tone, of course, that time he took the airship in Green Star, with his younger siblings and a certain lady of his own, she was not his wife at that time. Think of that scene. Lin Shu couldn't help but smile slightly. Lin Wei glanced at it jealously and pouted silently.

"Sir, is it the first time you've taken one of these airships?"

"Oh no, it's a lot bigger than this, and it flies faster and higher. ”

"It must be a Type II or Type 1 airship, only in big cities, our remote place. Only such small airships. ”

Lin Shu pursed his lips and smiled without answering.

"You're going to apply for an intermediate magic school this time?"

"Yes, sir, do you think I can get in?"

"Is this important?"

"Of course!" Simon looked at Lin Shu with some surprise, could it be that this relic hunter didn't come out of school, but a family magic?

"For those of us ordinary kids, the only way to learn magic skills is to enter an intermediate magic school, and then an advanced magic school, and there seems to be no other way. ”

Lin Shu shook his head with a smile, as if he didn't agree with Simon's conclusion, but he didn't continue to say anything about this matter, but asked about the situation of the intermediate magic school.

"There is an intermediate magic school in Junli City?"

"Of course. Junli City is the superior management unit of this settlement, so it is natural that there will be an intermediate magic school. ”

Simon was a little weird. This is common sense, why would Lin Shu not know the way? Perhaps, he misunderstood the status of Junli City, didn't he make it clear yesterday?

Lin Shu took out an atlas from his backpack, flipped through a few pages, and spread the atlas on the small table between the seats: "You see, the location of Junli City is very close to Haoyan City, and there is an intermediate magic school in Haoyan City, so I thought that there was no intermediate magic school in Junli City. ”

Simon was stunned, but he really didn't know that the distance between Junli City and Haoyan City was so close, and it seemed that the two cities were just separated by a mountain.

"That's because you can't fly directly over the Xiaoshan Mountains from Junli City to Haoyan City, and you have to take a long detour, and the flight time takes two days, so Junli City will be set up at the southern foot of Xiaoshan. ”

A guy dressed as a businessman next to him couldn't help but interject to explain, Lin Shu nodded at him with a smile and said, "I see, I thought that the height of the Xiaoshan Mountain Range was not large, and it should be able to fly over!"

"The Xiaoshan Mountain Range is indeed not high, but the climate change is too great, and there are a lot of flying monsters living, so the route is not very safe, and the last one has to fly around from the outside. ”

Lin Shu and Simon nodded together, it turns out that there is still this reason! It seems that the combat ability of this airship is indeed not worth relying on.

"So, the exploration degree of the Xiaoshan Mountain Range is very low?"

Lin Shu's question was actually just a disguise of identity, but the merchant was very enthusiastic: "That's true, but I've never heard of any relics found in the Xiaoshan Mountain Range, oh, I'm sorry, I heard the conversation between you and this little brother just now." ”

"It's okay, the Relic Hunter isn't a secret identity, but the Xiaoshan Mountains are still worth exploring, isn't it?"

"That's true, the Xiaoshan Mountains are rich in output and species, and they are indeed worth exploring, but there are not many strong people in Junli City and Haoyan City, and the cost of hiring a mercenary group is too great, and no one can guarantee whether they can find something valuable, so"

Lin Shu smiled: "I can understand, if the purpose is to make a profit, the Xiaoshan Mountain Range is so big, it does mean to find a needle in a haystack, but we can also fulfill it, thank you for your news." ”

"You're welcome, my name is Senbo, I have opened a small shop in Junli City, and I have the opportunity to invite you to come and patronize, just south of Dongshan Road, called Senbo Magic Materials Store. ”

"It's good, I will definitely visit if I have the chance. ”

Lin Shu's politeness made Boss Senbo very proud, and Lin Shu took the opportunity to ask: "Boss Senbo, I wonder if there is a suitable place in Junli City where I can find information?"

"Oh, you're talking about the library, it is said that you should also have the right to inquire about the government's materials, as for the public information, there should be a newspaper in Junli City, and the library should be able to find the old newspapers of the past years. ”

"I see, I'll be adding the library to my itinerary, thank you very much for the introduction. ”

"Hehe, you're welcome, you're welcome. ”

Lin Shu's easy-going attitude won the favor of his companions, and soon, a lot of news about all aspects of Junli City came out of everyone's mouths, and from everyone's mouths, Lin Shu had a fairly complete understanding of the planet. Wait until the airship arrives at Junli City. Lin Shu is already a qualified person from this planet.

Simon reluctantly said goodbye to Lin Shu and his wife. Lin Shu smiled and encouraged: "Simon, stick to your own path, because that is undoubtedly the right one, don't be influenced by others, even if no one understands, I believe that in the end history will remember you." ”

Simon looked at Lin Shu with some excitement and nodded vigorously: "I remember." ”

"Simon, I'll give you a word of advice. Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, what you can't learn from books, you can learn with your own eyes and feet, school is not the only place you can learn, you understand the basics of magic, the so-called advanced magic, but stronger, faster and more skillful, and your path is newer and more skillful, what you can't learn from books can go to learn from others, learn from Warcraft, and learn from nature. ”

Simon was stunned for a moment, and then felt that his whole body and mind were clear. If that day Lin Shu made him recognize his own path, today Lin Shu showed him a vast world. Simon no longer had a trace of hesitation and cowardice, he knew that the world world that Lin Shu showed him was so vast, where was there time for him to hesitate and hesitate, he just wanted to rush into this world immediately and find the endless unknown answer.

I don't know how long it took for Simon to wake up from his own world, but Lin Shu and his wife have long disappeared without a trace, and the surrounding passers-by are curiously looking at Simon who is standing on the street in a daze, Simon's eyes are firmly bowing to the street, in his heart, Lin Shu is undoubtedly his most respected teacher!

Two days later, the capital of the new garden star.

The government structure of Xinyuanxing is a typical form of elected government, but the highest authority is strangely called the General Command, which is not elected by the people, but is elected by first-level government officials and the Legislative Council, and in principle the term of office is lifelong, unless impeached by more than 20 percent of those who are qualified to refuse.

This is a system of democratic centralism, the system itself does not matter whether it is good or bad, the key is efficiency and effectiveness, and whether its own supervision and promotion mechanism is sound, the culture of Xinyuanxing has a long heritage, so it has done a good job in this regard, which can maintain Xinyuanxing for 10,000 years without any division and infighting.

However, the supreme authority of Xinyuanxing also bears unshirkable responsibility for the regression of civilization, the key is that they did not forcefully prevent the emergence of monopoly groups, the emergence of monopoly groups has controlled Xinyuanxing's technological development capabilities in an all-round way, for vested interests, evolution is not the only goal, grabbing more benefits is the ultimate goal.

Or it should be said that the General Command has been occupied by monopoly capital, and the largest monopoly capital in Gaine was originally the people in power of the General Command.

Of course, there are many reasons for the regression of civilization, such as the loss of fleeing all the way, whether it is in terms of talents or materials, there are too many things lost and discarded, and secondly, the people with more ability take on more responsibilities, and as a result, the elites are sacrificed to protect the civilians, which is also an important factor in the regression of the new garden star civilization.

In fact, Xinyuanxing is to some extent very similar to the situation of the Delusional Star, except that they did not split, but formed several large monopoly groups, and with the destruction of the spaceship and the loss of a large number of skills, they began a slow road of revival, but the process was too slow.

10,000 years later, they are still stuck in the era of mechanical airships, which is really a bit sorry for their ancestors.

This may also have something to do with the lack of a sense of crisis in the new garden star, for 10,000 years, the enemies that the new garden star has to face are the monsters and natural disasters on the new garden star, and on this very stable planet, there are almost no particularly serious natural disasters, but there are more monsters.

In this peaceful environment, the people who escaped death finally relaxed, and then, it was difficult to mention the sense of crisis, and lived a happy and peaceful life, and everyone seemed to have forgotten the catastrophe of the past, intentionally or unintentionally.

However, today there was something that scared all the people in power in the New Garden Star, and the illusory peace and happiness of the New Garden Star seemed to be finally coming to an end, because of the emergence of an alien civilization!

For the Xinyuan people who can only fly slowly in the sky, the civilization that can cross the starry sky is definitely an opponent that is so powerful that it makes them tremble, and the appearance of these opponents finally reminds them of the memory that has been very long, the once incomparably brilliant galactic civilization, and the honor of the once incomparably powerful First Republic, finally made their descendants feel ashamed and regretful!
