When the issue of commuting was discussed, someone recalled the memories of childhood anime and the mechanical cat that could take out various convenient props from his pocket. At that time, I discussed with my friends that if I could have one of Tinker Bell’s props, what would it be?
Any door! This is the option most people choose. Being able to save time from 'moving' is a dream for many people.
But since he was in a world on the magic side, Lin had certainly considered using that very magical product - the teleportation array. Just after understanding the cost of the teleportation array in detail, someone was defeated spectacularly. That is the energy pool for building a magic tower, with the same level of price and difficulty.
And when it comes to the use of materials, the teleportation array can't be completed just by stacking some crappy stuff. In the collection of some rare materials, even Najib, the Chamber of Commerce steward with great eyes and hands, admitted that some things are hard to come by. Like the Void Star Core, this is something that can only enter the secondary plane to try its luck. In comparison, there are more alternatives for the construction of energy pools.
Since the idea of building a high-speed rail or MRT for point-to-point commuting is not feasible, Lin can only consider traditional methods. The common solution for lost people is to get a horse, or more importantly, a carriage. A little more advanced is to get a magical beast that is stronger than horses to pull the cart.
Lin turned his attention to the two big dogs lying on the lawn boredly outside the window. Using them to pull a cart may have enough momentum, but it will destroy them. There was a reason for the ancient earth to separate war horses and rhinoceros horses.
Although there is a place in the house in this community that can be used as a stable, it is currently used as a warehouse. The cost of raising horses is not a big problem for Lin now. The question is how to raise it? Who will raise it? Hire another groom? Do you really make yourself look like a nobleman, with a horde of servants at home?
Lin didn't want to live like that. Deep down, he wished that there were as few irrelevant people around him as possible, so how could he add more people who seemed to share the chores of life for him, but who actually had the opportunity to spy on his private life. Is there a sunny and cheerful house? Maybe. But staring at the only illuminated screen in the dark and watching the animated characters shine is the highest level of enjoyment.
So, how about building yourself a sports car?
The development of Midi is very strange. Wheeled vehicles appeared very early, including various carriages, carts, and handcarts, but they were all powered by animals or manpower. Power equipment has also been available for a long time, that is, various golems made by magicians. The equipment that combines the two has only been heard of the orbital train developed by the goblins, which is similar to the earth train.
In the end, it could not be promoted because of the huge consumption and no economic benefits. There are only connections between important cities in certain empires, and the distances cannot be too far.
In other words, Midi has not yet developed power equipment vehicles for personal use. In other words, someone is doing research in a certain corner of the Lost World, but Lin doesn't know about it.
The magicians in the Lost Land are still limited to the appearance of biological creatures existing in nature, or the human form when it comes to the design of golems, and their thinking logic has not really spread out.
Secondly, people here are very stubborn about using magic materials exclusively for the production of magic instruments. This is the most convenient for practitioners, because all shape problems can be solved using plastic surgery. But the price is that it is expensive and remains high.
Of course, mixed use cannot be achieved by putting together parts of magical and non-magical materials. There are still many problems to be solved. This means that even if Lin wants to build a sports car to solve the commuting problem in the college, I am afraid that this plan will have to be postponed indefinitely. At least I have to wait until everything in the college is on track and I have more free time.
Before that, I'm afraid I have to rely on two legs to solve all problems.
After finishing the meaningless conversation with Fen and finishing dinner and evening classes, Lin stared blankly at the stars. A new job and a new home both give people a different feeling. He said goodbye to this intoxicating starry sky early. He had to rush to the academy early tomorrow morning before dawn, so that he could have time for the group of children's morning classes, the beginning of hell training.
The next day, it was dawn and there were goose feather-like snowflakes. It's just that the snow hasn't accumulated yet, but it's already chilly. Lin and two apprentices, wearing short jackets, stood in the small square in the atrium. John Goodman is in high spirits in an overcoat. After seeing the person, he walked out of the house and met the three masters and apprentices.
Seeing the large clock hanging on the outer wall of the third floor on the central protrusion jumping to six o'clock on the hour, Lin nodded towards Halumi who was standing on the left.
The girl picked up a small trumpet, took a deep breath, put it to her lips, and sang a melodious and loud Earth version of the morning wake-up call. Fortunately, the location of the college is not within the Five City. The penetrating power of the small speaker combined with the reveille is amazing. Unless you are deaf, no one can ignore this noise that disturbs your dreams.
And this is also the amazing talent that Lin discovered while observing Halumi's growth. Has a good sense of sound and the ability to play various instruments.
The first sign was during the wild adventure before settling in the Tower of the Great Sage. The girl just used a leaf to play a tune that someone was very familiar with. Of course, Lin once hummed that music inadvertently, letting the girl hear it and remember it. When Halumi felt bored one night when she couldn't sleep, she picked a leaf, tried a few notes, and played the tune.
Although the culture of Lost Land is poor, it is not completely absent. Horns, harps, and drums, basically three major types of musical instruments, wind, string, and percussion instruments have already appeared. But those who know these things, apart from being interested in self-study, are just wandering bards.
Even though the name of this profession has the word "poet" in it, it seems very romantic. In fact, the social status of a bard is on the same level as a clown who specializes in pretending to be silly and making people laugh. It is not a noble profession. There is no room for the development of girls' talents. Of course, in some places, women who can play musical instruments are more popular than those who can't do anything else, but that is not a good way out for a magic apprentice.
But for a time traveler from Earth, such a talent is a priceless treasure. Among other things, it is not an easy task to play a tune using a keyless trumpet modified from a Roman trombone. But the girl did it, and better than anyone could have imagined.
Just by vibrating the lips, the copper trumpet can play various tones, which girls can't put down. It's just that because the sound is too loud, it's not suitable for playing everywhere, so Halumi has never shown such talent in front of others until today.
The melody of the Reveille is originally high-pitched, and the beautiful melody is astonishingly penetrating. John Goodman, who is standing by, enjoys such melodious music. But this is not good music for someone who is sleeping. The group of half-grown children had nothing to say. Mrs. Du Li, who was sleeping soundly, and the great magician and his disciples, who were in a new environment and stayed up late last night, were all quarreled.
Juan Javier, who was still unclear, had hazy eyes and a splitting headache. He just wanted to throw a forbidden spell outside. Annemarie, who knew this would happen, lay aside and covered her head with a feather pillow. Mrs. Du Li added a coat for herself and wanted to go outside to see what was going on.
However, the wake-up call stopped after two rounds. Lin took the big tin-rolled trumpet from Kaya's hand and shouted: "Damn brats, get up. Today is the official opening day of the gratifying school. It's not yet... Move your fat butts, brush your teeth, wash your face, wear all the clothes that are easy to move around, don't catch a cold. Once you get sick, no one can help you except yourself. Gather in the square within ten minutes. Everyone, I repeat, everyone. Anyone who is not there in ten minutes will be in trouble. There are still nine minutes left after I finish speaking."
On the east side of the house, from the children's room, there was a faint noise of panic. As Lin chimed in every minute, twenty-six children, big and small, gathered in the atrium on this cold morning. Everyone had red faces and puffed out white smoke. Lin first scolded a few boys who didn't wear enough clothes and would definitely catch a cold if they stayed in the snow for a long time, and then said:
"I'll give you two more minutes to put on your clothes. Winter clothes have been given to you a long time ago. You're saving it because you want to receive God's favor as soon as possible. Two minutes, do you understand? If you don't understand, just look at the hair on your head. Big clock, when its fourth number jumps from one to three, and you show up before you are fully dressed, you will know what it means to be unlucky. Hurry up!"
The stumbling child rushed back, then back again. But it was overkill, even the coat was worn out. Warm work is definitely warm work, but the subsequent activities will be punishing. Lin sneered and didn't say anything. He scolded the children to stand in horizontal rows according to their dormitories, and then arranged them according to height. After cursing for a while, the team was finally organized.
"I know some of you will be dissatisfied and don't know why you are treated like this. I only tell you that this is a choice. -" At the same time, Kaya distributed the red, white and red cloth armbands to everyone. , also comes with a safety pin. While everyone was puzzled, she demonstrated how to put the armband on her left upper arm. Some people did as they were told, while others looked confused. "——The armbands issued to you represent that you are students of the 726th batch of Chengguo Eton College. In a few days, it will be 727th. The new members will have different armbands from your area. Separate it.”
Children have no idea what the things on their hands or arms mean. They just looked at someone with a confused expression and sent something. It was necessary to wake them up early in the morning and send it in such a cold weather.
