In fact, the only people who probably didn't know much about what happened in the early morning were the two official magicians who slept soundly. Harumi and Kaya woke up early in the morning and got ready for the morning's work, as did the dwarves and Uzov. Although they did not come forward, they also witnessed the whole process.
The person who is most concerned about the development of the situation is, of course, Uzov Gantia, who aims at 'nearby surveillance'. He was quite surprised and troubled that the little noble suddenly brought a convoy of hundreds of people here. The purpose of telling the magician relevant information is to minimize the damage, not to make the matter bigger.
Even though a convoy came in front of him, he didn't think that the convoy posed any threat to the two magicians. It would only increase casualties.
Just when Uzov was thinking of a way to solve this trouble, the magician came forward in person, and solved it in a way he had never thought of. In the magician's own words: the general shoots the horse first, and the thief captures the king first. It sounds simple, but when you think about it seriously, the truth is very profound.
At least for anyone who wants to challenge this magician, numerical superiority is meaningless, and the depth of the military formation is also meaningless. As long as you appear in front of him, you must have the consciousness to fight hard. In this way, some life-loving commanders and even nobles would not be able to appear in front of the magician.
Suppose these people don't even dare to come forward and only dare to give orders to their subordinates to deal with the magician. It is really doubtful what power the army can exert when no one is commanding it. At that point, the number of people was really just decoration.
Fortunately, this magician has a lazy personality and low desire. Although they didn't get along for a long time, from the observation, the other party just wanted to find a place to stay. Such a person will not be harmed if you don't provoke him.
On the contrary, if he is offended, with his steady character, he will nip all dangers before they get serious. In other words, even the chance to beg for mercy was a luxury at that time.
Uzov's understanding is very simple. He is not a young boy anymore, and it is even less likely that he has to exclude the opponent just because he is threatening. If this understanding is correct, then all Homo sapiens in the entire land should be killed.
Furthermore, there is no such thing as over-defense. Because of bad luck and lack of discernment, if you offend someone you can't afford to offend, it's your fault in the first place. Who can you blame?
Of course, as a member of the Ikaruga Alliance, he has also been exhausted and even in crisis because of the mistakes made by some short-sighted companions. There is no need to think about helping friends, but if you meet more people, you will still encounter some villains who just want to take advantage of the alliance's characteristics. This bored him as he got older, and he gradually faded out of the frontline adventurer ranks.
In comparison, it was much more comfortable to be around this group of people. Although the members of the team did not accept him, they did not stop him from walking together. We ate and drank together during the trip, and there was no obvious barrier. This kind of relationship without any scheming makes Uzov, who has the purpose of 'monitoring this group of people', often feel ashamed.
Put aside unnecessary thoughts. In short, today we will set off for the town near Colombo Port, where most airships are parked. Before that, Uzov still had a lot to prepare and some people to contact.
That small town is at most suitable for airships to park, but that doesn't mean there are airships waiting to pick up passengers all the time. If you don't ask clearly first, a certain magician will feel like he's being let go. Maybe Tripwood's family wouldn't do anything, but the former Demon King couldn't say for sure. For the sake of world peace and tranquility, you should make more preparations.
Because of the convenience of the forum and the fact that someone was once a guest on the seat of Waldwo, the world tree, one of the high seats of the Ikaruga Alliance, an intelligence network for sharing through the forum has been established within the alliance very early.
However, the use of intelligence is the use of intelligence. As long as there is a local contact person for the alliance, Uzov still likes to visit. On the one hand, the text descriptions on the forums are always incomplete. You can get more information by talking to them in person. On the other hand, by being familiar with each other, you can build deeper relationships and connections than being members of the same alliance. This was also established.
At least, during the conversation with the local alliance members using ale as a stepping stone, I learned some information that was not available on the forum. In fact, those are common sense to the locals, but as long as you are not familiar with the local situation, you may not understand them.
The thing is, if you go to that town at the end of winter and almost into spring, you can see a lot of airships parked. But no boat owner will accept the commission to cross the Jura Mountains because of the climate in the mountains.
At this time of year, the climate in the mountains is changeable, very cold, and the wind is quite strong. Some airships with insufficient altitude limits will be very difficult to control and may even cause accidents that no one wants to happen. Even if the height limit is sufficient, there are many restrictions on use, including the physical fitness of the occupants, the upper limit of the load, and the price is also very expensive.
However, as long as there is no airship and the trip is in vain, the rest depends on the skill of negotiation. Uzov was quite sure of this. 400
When the group of people successfully arrived at Waikato, the town where the airship was heading, it was already dusk and it was almost time for dinner. In response to the relevant information, Uzov also explained it to everyone during the move. So before arriving, everyone was mentally prepared that there might be no way to find an airship willing to set sail immediately.
But this is less of an issue in Waikato. Because airships are airworthy due to seasonal factors, many passengers using airships are accustomed to waiting here. Therefore, the most developed industry in this town is various large and small hotels. They range from expensive private courtyards to cheap Datong shops.
Some shrewd businessmen will control their itinerary so that they can arrive in Waikato at the right season without wasting too much waiting time.
But at the moment, everyone's thoughts are attracted by the airships of different shapes parked on the grassland outside the town, including a certain time traveler who claims to be a believer in science.
Before today, although Lin had read about airships from some books, he had actually seen only one, the Gao Sibotong of the Leon District Branch of the Southwest Peninsula Magicians Association.
But the scene in front of me could not be described as an airship exhibition. There are ships like the Cosbottom, which use magic propellers as their main floating power, but there are single-mast, double-mast, and even three-mast ships. There are also huge airbags used as a means of levitation. I don’t know if there is any magic involved in it besides the principles of hot air balloons.
The hulls of propeller-type airships are no different from ordinary ships. When all power is turned off during parking, the bottom of this type of airship has a shelf similar to a dry dock for the airship to park.
There are also some boats with boxy hulls that can be parked directly on the ground. However, this type of airship is much smaller, probably because of the load-bearing capacity of the floor, so it cannot be made into a hull with a large bottom area.
As for airbag-type airships, the pods underneath are either semi-open or closed, and some are large or small. Their characteristic is that they are all fixed to the ground using a mooring method. Some use rope ladders to get up and down the pods, and some larger ones have side ladders.
This may be the gas or magic filled in the air bag. Compared with the need to replenish a small amount every day for maintenance, it will save money to deflate the air bag completely and then re-inflate it when it is used. Therefore, airbag-type airships maintain a semi-floating state.
Compared with the means of floating and the shape of the hull, there are only a few permutations and combinations. For one of the most important mechanisms of the airship, the means of propulsion are really diverse. After all, if there is no propulsion method, the airship will become a hot air balloon that floats straight up and down in the wind.
It has a lateral propeller, a cannon type, and a magical mechanism that can generate propulsion power. It's more like someone who can't see the principle, and it's a very magical-style mechanism.
It can be said that every airship that can be seen here is unique, and no two are the same or even similar in appearance. However, if you understand the Midi airship industry, it is not difficult to understand this picture.
Except for the airship corps of the Hydel Empire, no one can manufacture airships in large quantities. Other than that, the airships are all customized according to the requirements of the owners. Even the owner himself is the manufacturer and the mechanical maintainer during the journey. In this case, the shape and design of the airship are very much the owner's 'personality'.
To be honest, even if he is not a military control man, no man will remain indifferent when seeing strange ships, cars and other large-scale creations. It's like a boy seeing a big pile of toys. He wants to touch everything and play with everything.
Lin was not the only one who had this reaction. The two older boys among the silver-bearded dwarves also had their eyes shining and looked curiously at all the airships parked on the grassland. As for the other women, although they were also curious, they were not eager to take everything they saw home and collect them like the other big boys.
Uzov Gantia seemed much calmer. After all, this is the second time I have seen this scene. I still remember that the first time, his performance was no better than that of several people now.
Uzov led the two carriages unswervingly into the small town of Waikato and found a hotel related to the Bundo League. As the town is an important air hub, the Banjiu Alliance will of course have a liaison office here and run some other businesses to earn the necessary funds for maintenance.
In fact, in most cases, no one requests the establishment of these liaison offices, or there is support behind them. Most of them are the same as when Uzov was in Storm Bay, because his hometown is here and he is familiar with the local customs. It is somewhat convenient to work in this industry, and it can also provide services related to alliance members who come here. It is a part of mutual help and reciprocity.
