Magic Tower Starry Sky

Chapter 504: airship

Because it was too late to arrive in Waikato Town, a group of people found a hotel with warehouses and stables. After placing the two carriages, they went to the most famous pub in the town. Deal with some airship owners.

The name of the tavern is 'airship', and it was refitted with the pods under the airbag airship. The owner of the tavern is a retired ship owner. Together with his wife, he built the airship that he built himself. However, after a long period of use, it is no longer suitable to continue flying. He transformed it into the main part of a tavern and started a business on the ground. . As the business gets better and better, the building is also continuously built and expanded in scale.

Don't look at the job of flying in the sky that seems dreamy, but it is actually very dangerous. There are really very few people who can live to retire. After a long flight, the tavern owner chose to retire with the airship he built, which is something that many younger generations admire.

In addition, he is willing to impart experience, and he is also an excellent mechanic. When the airships parked here need manpower to help with maintenance on the ground, they will occasionally ask him for help.

Over time, more people related to airships came and went to this tavern. The tavern eventually even became a place for intermediary related businesses in Waikato Town, and its business model was similar to the tavern of the Adventurer's Guild. They even formed an airship guild by themselves, but it was only in the form of a mutual aid association, without too many restrictive rules, and the scale was not large.

And tonight's airship tavern is full of people. The boat owners and sailors who are unable to sail here eat, drink, and chat their teeth, and pass the time when there is no flight work.

After simply filling his stomach, Lin and Uzov went to find a part-time receptionist waiter by the bar to inquire about the hiring of airships, as well as the relevant procedures and fees for the designated destination.

As for not completely handing it over to Uzov, it was because the two parties belonged to two groups after all. Obtaining information from Uzov is already a little too much; if even negotiating the employment contract is done by others, it will cross the line. A certain person doesn't want to do such a bottomless thing, no friend of any level can be used like a slave without any worries.

For the receptionist in the tavern, the question of cost is the easiest to answer: please discuss it directly with the owner of the boat. Because the cost of sailing for each airship is inconsistent, and the cost of manufacturing and arranging the interior is also different, so there is no public price for how much the airship should be charged. After all, the commercialization of airships has not yet flourished enough to form a consensus-based norm.

But the tavern can act as a witness, and after the two parties have negotiated the price and destination, they can sign a contract to avoid possible future disputes.

The destination is the holy city of Estali, the Fest Branch of the Magicians Association. There is no problem with direct flights to this location, and it can also be said that this is one of the popular destinations.

Because of the high cost of flying airships and the dangers in the sky, the people who have used airships most often for a long time are magicians with long-range attack methods and excellent life-saving capabilities. As for the magicians who came to the central area of ​​the Lost Land, the holy city of Estali is almost a must-go place, and may even be the only place to go. Naturally, the holy city has become a popular waypoint.

As for the first question, is there anyone willing to visit the holy city of Estali? Yes, and many.

So is there anyone willing to set off 'immediately' and go to the holy city of Estali? of course not! Just like the news that Uzov had heard before, the reason was that because of the weather, this season was not suitable for the airship to cross the Jura Mountains.

Even if I personally ask those boat owners who have a good reputation and have flown hundreds of times, no one is willing to take the risk of crossing the mountains at this time of year.

After asking several times to no avail, Lin and Uzov returned to their table, drinking helplessly. Think about the good, anyway, I don't rush. What's more, the boat owners who just asked about it also promised that as long as the spring is warm and the wind on the mountain slows down, they can set off for Estaria at any time.

During this waiting time, I stayed in Waikato Town, just to settle down and sort out the various harvests on this journey.

As soon as he made his calculations, he saw a pair of goblin father and daughter in full costumes approaching a group of people with a strange smile.

It seems that the other party is the civilized species among the goblins. But let's be honest, someone's growing up in the Southwest peninsula had the most to do with their savage kin. Suddenly seeing two civilized goblins, their appearance is almost the same as their close relatives, and they are a little uncomfortable psychologically and physically. one eight

As if aware of the flash of malice in the magician's eyes, the goblin father and daughter took a big step back, quickly raised their hands and said in a common language of confusion: "I am not malicious, I am not malicious, Mr. Magician .I'm not like the uncivilized savage goblins." Talking goblins, or civilized goblins, know how annoying their uncivilized kin are.

Knowing that he had made the mistake of judging people by their appearance, Lin stood up quickly, bowed, and said, "Sorry, it was my fault for misunderstanding you two, please forgive me. I don't know if you two are here, what's the matter?"

Wiping away the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, Father Goblin's panicked expression changed back to his original philistine. He said: "Your Excellency the Magician, you want to go to Estali. I am also the owner of the airship. If you are willing, we will set off tomorrow without any problem."

As soon as this was said, some people were quite puzzled. Some experienced pilots of airships are unwilling to cross the mountains at this time of year, but these two goblins are willing. This is... a scam group? Do you like this too? Or is it too reckless for these two goblins to trick the magician into a dark alley, and then run a bunch of people out to pick up the skin?

No matter how many civilized goblins there are, they are still goblins. Or will there be other strong fighting races to help? Or... the airship of the goblin father and daughter can really cope with the strong winds in the Jura Mountains at this time of year? The last point is that someone's intuition is unlikely, but if he makes the mistake of judging people by their appearance, will they miss an opportunity?

Just as someone was thinking about it, the goblin father boasted, saying: "My airship uses the latest goblin technology and has excellent performance. It can overcome the obstacles on the mountain in this season." Strong winds. Of course, the cost of taking such an airship is not very cheap. But as far as the mage is concerned, this small amount of money should not be a problem."

Based on his affection for the goblin sword master who he worshiped since he was a child, Lin decided to give the two civilized goblins a chance, and said, "If it's right, money won't be a problem. But before signing the contract, I hope Confirm the status of the airship before making a decision." May the Force be with you, my goblin friend. Although as far as the official setting is concerned, that Juggernaut is not of the same family as you, but only looks similar.

But such a request made the goblin father and daughter feel embarrassed. They coyly said: "Your Excellency, can't you sign the contract directly? How about this, I will sign the contract with you at the original price of 9.50%. Do you know what 9.50% means? Speaking of which, it is also you Mathematics invented by the magician. Ah, that is really a good knowledge. Originally, the cost of sending you to Estalia alone was LXX Gil (70 gold), and 9.50% means that you only need to charge Your LXVIII Kiel (68 gold) is fine, isn’t it a good deal! So let’s sign the contract directly.”

The ancestors of your family are here, and 95% of 70 is not 68, but 66.5. If I were really your math teacher, I would definitely open the door and jump out after the airship reaches its limit!

However, if a person is slanderous in his heart, he still has to do what should be done. So Lin insisted: "No, let's confirm the situation of the airship first, and then make a decision."

When the goblin father heard it, he even stalked and said: "Well, let's jump off the building for a big sale, you can count 90% of the price, and LXV Kiel (65 gold) for one person, you can't find other cheap prices like this." It's human. How about it, let's sign the contract now." Then, he took out a piece of parchment that had been scribbled and altered, and stuffed it in front of a certain magician.

Facing this overlord's aggressive attitude, Lin directly reached out and clasped the goblin's wrinkled, rough old face with turquoise skin. With a blackened expression, he said viciously: "We dare to fight with the devil." Magician who deals with the devil. Why do you have the illusion that we will easily sign any contract until we confirm all the circumstances. It is late today, it is dark, and there is nothing to see. We confirmed the flight early tomorrow morning The condition of the boat, let’s talk about it at that time, is it okay? This Mr. Goblin whose name I don’t know yet.”

"Yes, yes. I'm sorry, please forgive me."

Early the next morning, in front of a strangely shaped airship on the grassland. That is an airbag-type airship, but the ratio of airbags to pods is much smaller than that of ordinary airships in front of you. And the shape is not a symmetrical and coordinated shape, just like a badly made balloon doll~www.wuxiaspot.com~ **** in a mess by thick cables, one side is big and the other side is small.

Because of the irregular shape of the airbag, it is suspended in an unbalanced posture. In order to fix the gondola horizontally, the cables at different positions also have different lengths. Even so, the pod can only remain suspended at a slight angle rather than being perfectly level.

In order to show off the proud propulsion mechanism, the goblin father and daughter turned on the mechanism. Even though it wasn't running at full speed, the organ that was making a piercing roar kept emitting black smoke from the mouth of the pipe. In this way, several groups of propeller blades are driven, including the first two left and right ones, four groups of smaller blades, and two groups of backward, larger blades.

The seemingly advanced design does not pay attention to symmetry and balance at all, making the entire airship look top-heavy and uncoordinated.

The goblin who called himself Totocani Afstein said triumphantly: "Your Excellency, the magician, this is a high-quality flying machine built by gathering the most advanced technology of our race, consuming a lot of rare materials and manpower. Airship, the Hindenburg."

The man who looked at everything in front of him with dead eyes, ignored the companions around him, turned his head and left without hesitation, not even intending to say any polite words.
