Vol 9 Chapter 9: Rig
Fernando waved his hand and said uneasily, "There is one, but it is of little value. A floating city that can fall from the sky by itself can only be a failed work, and it will only lead us to the wrong path!"
He politely mocked the legendary magician who built the floating city, thinking that his great success only rested on his mouth.
"Floating city" is an inconsistent research direction after the development of the three magic empires. They tried to live like gods at high altitudes and overlook ordinary people. However, a short-term floating in a city can be achieved, long-term, stable The state has always been difficult to achieve, and it has become a difficult problem for all parties to overcome.
In this process, many legendary magicians claimed to have completed the construction of the floating city, but so far, there is no floating city flying in the sky, and some of them just got into the dawning war and became involved in the dawn war. The striking target was destroyed by the church and the noble coalition, and some had various problems. After barely floating for months, years, or ten years, they collapsed or crashed on their own.
Because of the strength shown by Douglas, Roland smiled with enthusiasm: "We just found its wreckage. Well, it's called 'Aringe', quite the famous 'Sky City', but we lack the core The magic formation structure cannot be repaired at all, but can only be used as a secret base. "
Douglas didn't care about it, and smiled and said: "Failed works also have their effect. They can remind us of what mistakes we should avoid. I have always been interested in the effects of spells such as floating and flying, and I want to understand the laws and reasons behind them. So I hope the union can let me study 'Allinge'. "
"No problem, we will ask the vice-chairman to them. With your magical level and credit, there will definitely be no problem!" Roland almost patted his chest to guarantee.
He clearly knew that at present there is only one master in the United Trade Union who will "stop by time", and another one means the essence of combat effectiveness, and people like Fernando are very proud of Douglas ’ability in mathematics and physics. I admire him, so he also feels that Grass can grow into a strong man who needs to look up and rely on.
Douglas nodded: "That's bothering you, which way shall we go now?"
"To go to the headquarters, you have to go to Lentat first." Roland smiled meaningfully.
Douglas said a little suddenly: "Lentat? The city where Holm Parish headquarters is located?"
"Yes, the capital of Holm Kingdom." Roland nodded with a smile.
Uh ...
The sun is raging, and a carriage drove into Lentat before the gate was closed.
I walked across several streets full of fishy smells, and the carriage stopped in front of an ordinary-looking hotel.
"Grilled Fish Inn ..." Douglas stepped out of the carriage and smiled and read the weird name.
Fernando's voice is a bit sharp and authentic: "He is best at grilling fish, and I suggest you get one, otherwise he will be very angry and think you don't know how to eat."
He jumped straight down, splashing water on the ground.
After the heavy rain, the entire Lentat was filled with water, but unlike small cities, the roads here are made of stones, not so full of mud, and it looks clean.
Seeing this scene, Douglas said with a bit of emotion: "Lentat is an important city operated by the Empire on the side of the Storm Strait. It has been well built in all aspects, but it was still occupied by the church ..."
He was born in Antivre, and felt like a man of the Sylvanas magic empire.
"Someday we will be back!" Fernando suppressed his voice, confidently.
兰 Roland, who temporarily acted as a coachman, turned her head and said loudly, "Don't be a statue here, come in and talk."
After all the communication, he found that Douglas was easy to get along with, and there was no common arrogance of other mages. There was nothing wrong with it except for a few more problems. Therefore, it was relatively less restrained.
The hotel is very small and very old. There are not a few tables in the lobby, and there are three or four guests sparsely seated.
There was a gray-haired man standing behind the bar, rubbing his head and wiping the glass.
"I can't see my fingers clearly, don't light a candle! 吝啬 is the most disgusting of all your shortcomings!" Fernando blamed as soon as he entered the door.
At dusk, the windows in the hotel lobby were very narrow again, and darkness seemed to have fallen ahead of time.
Boss Boss raised his head to reveal a square face, his left eye was dead green, muddy, and lifeless, making people feel terrified.
节省 "Saving is a life attitude, you will never understand, the little guy full of hot glue." The other eye of the boss is a beautiful turquoise, deep and gloomy, and does not seem to see the bottom.
Fernando is not angry, turning to Douglas, "Lao Green, the owner of this shop, an outdated knight, the left eye is the product of blood fusion failure."
In this hotel, he did not care about the taboos that cannot be mentioned, such as magic and blood fusion, and the three or four guests who drank hard liquor and grilled fish did not have any abnormal reaction at all, and enjoyed life by themselves, as if Fernando's words just now are Douglas hallucinations.
After finishing speaking, Fernando pointed to Douglas: "You can call him Douglas, a guest from across the continent, hoping to join us and has passed my test. This is the details I gave to Vice President Rig."
He flew a dark yellow parchment to Old Green.
Lao Green's hands are still wiping the wine glass, but the parchment is flying slower and slower, like an animal in a swamp, and it is difficult to move.
Hold the parchment paper with the freshly cleaned wine glass, and Old Green said without expression: "Young man, can you grill a fish with honey? This is the best food in the entire Lentart, the entire Holm region, and the entire strait territory. , You won't regret tasting it! "
似乎 He seems to be anxious to sell his honey-baked fish.
Douglas was reminded by Fernando's hidden complaints and satire, and smiled, "I'm looking forward to it."
"There are not many young people who know how to appreciate now, and some guys can't calm down to enjoy gourmet food." Old Green ironed, walking from the hidden door behind the bar to the kitchen.
"This is an experimental knight secretly cultivated by Fernando's teacher. He has not had a close relationship with the Huffenberg family. After his teacher died, he was unwilling to surrender to the church. He opened this hotel in Lentat and served as a secret transfer for the union. Stop. "After Roland parked the carriage, he hurried in and gave Douglas a supplementary introduction." Old Green will transfer the task report to Vice President Rig, and they will discuss it before they can enter the headquarters, rest assured. You definitely have no problem, you can wait for the good news tomorrow. "
谢谢 "Thank you." Douglas nodded with a smile. "Actually, I am not too anxious. Although the principle of flying and floating is the main direction of my research, I still have a lot of things to ponder."
南 Fernando's bright red eyes glared at Douglas: "What other research do you have?"
On this way, the discussion between Fernando and Douglas was mainly focused on the mathematical aspects. Although he has been arrogant and belittled in the face, he has paid more and more attention to Douglas' ability in his heart. Therefore, it is inevitable when he heard that he mentioned other fields I hope to hear more thought-provoking ideas.
"Some trivial things." Douglas had no idea of keeping a secret. He opened a chair and sat down, exchanging various magical problems with Fernando, a talented young high-level magician.
This discussion was more than half a day. Even though the dark clouds covered the moon and no fingers were visible, Fernando was unwilling to leave, and the honey-baked fish was eaten only a little, causing Old Green to beard and stare—if He has words with beard and intact eyes.
It wasn't until midnight that Fernando returned to the room with his brain full of doubts, and Douglas went into the room prepared for himself, watching the few stars in the sky passing through the clouds and feeling a long-lost peace.
I should be able to calm down and study for a while, right?
He thought so.
Uh ...
As soon as the sky was clear, Douglas heard Roland's familiar footsteps from far to near, and finally knocked on his door.
"Douglas, President Rig came in person, he is a senior mage." Roland was excited about the importance Douglas received.
Douglas also passed a hint of joy, after all, being treated so seriously, everyone would be a little happy: "Roland, please take me to see President Rig."
Roland led Douglas into the back room on the ground floor of the hotel and saw an old man wearing a black soft hat. He had dark hair and blue eyes, a thin face, clear wrinkles, and a slightly curved nose, like an old man. Falcon, but those eyes are restrained and deep, as if there are countless secrets hidden.
"Welcome to you, Douglas." Vice Chairman Rig wore a high-necked coat popularized by Lentat, like a true old noble.
Douglas saluted with a smile: "It's a pleasure to meet you, President Rig."
Roland looked at the room: "Not yet Fernando? I went to him No, I mainly came to see Douglas." Rig slowly shook his head. "Douglas, you and Fernando raided The verdict, the killing of the "Hunter" proved that you have no problem, but this action also brought us great trouble. Under the leadership of the "Heart of Time", clergymen, night watchmen and nobles strangled. It's more than thirty of us. "
"This operation is mainly to show our value to the nobles! Those magicians should have been exposed long ago but the church intentionally did not act!" Roland defended loudly.
Brigge glanced at him coldly, letting his words stop abruptly: "This is not something you need to consider."
He turned his head and continued to look at Douglas. "So, the union has not only agreed to your joining, but also has to give you some punishment. It will send you to study the 'Alinge' floating city wreck for three years. After that, you will become the vice president of the union directly! "
Is it suppressed and gave a good hope? Douglas thought to himself with a smile, which was not important to him. What was important was the opportunity to study the wreckage of the "Allinge" floating city.
"I have no opinion." Douglas nodded slightly, Roland wanted to refute but did not dare to speak, a face flushed slightly.
Brigge finally smiled: "I hope you can study the real floating city."
Farewell to Vice President Rig, Douglas and Roland returned to the upper floor, and suddenly saw Fernando hurriedly angrily. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and give rewards to the mobile network (), your support is my biggest motivation.)
