The magician who boarded the boat used the etiquette among magicians, pressed his right hand on his heart to show his sincerity, and greeted: "It is His Excellency the Great Magician Tikal Finn Ni, and His Excellency the Magician Guybrash Tripwood You two are in front of me. Balta from Rumbayev greets you."
To be so polite when we first met, to be honest, it makes someone very uncomfortable. Lin Qiqi replied: "Ah, um, yes, hello, hello." Fen was always aloof when meeting strangers and had no intention of talking to them.
The scene turned cold for a while. The goblin Totokani stood aside, holding the compass of the holy city of Estari and also the permission to dock. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, the person opposite me was not a dull person, but rather talked in a normal manner. He looked around and said: "This is the Sid. Not only is the appearance very different from other airships, but the interior is also quite different. I guess a lot of new technologies have been used on it. Your Excellency, Is your interest public?”
Someone has already prepared for such a problem. Lin replied politely: "The Sid is still an experimental work, and most of the things on it are still temporarily manufactured, so its durability and practicality need more flight time verification. So it won't be done yet." Make this technology public. Otherwise, if other people have accidents in the air and there is no good way to save themselves, then I will feel sorry for these people."
Although it sounds like a rebuttal, it is actually Lin's true thoughts. After the disaster in the Jura Mountains, the airship was refitted and went straight on the road. To be honest, there were no accidents along the way, and I felt very lucky.
But there is still some way to go before the Sid's technology can be commercialized. The running-in of all components, the overall durability, the degree of aging of parts after long-term use, how often maintenance is required, and where are the areas that are easily damaged. These issues need to be clarified, instead of just hastily solving them when problems occur in the air.
There are also things like cost reduction of various components and so on. I used all the good materials that I had worked so hard to bring out before. I don’t know how many parts of the equipment on the Sid are not made of such good materials. It is necessary to find the most suitable and cost-effective substitute before it can be considered a mature commercial technology.
Balta did not feel angry at the rejection of the person in front of him, but said respectfully: "In this case, I look forward to the day when you think this technology is suitable for disclosure."
Listening to the meaning of these words, Lin probably figured out that the other party didn't really care about the technology on the Sid, that is, he just randomly picked a topic to talk about. But why was this airship chosen as the topic? In other words, in his circle of friends, is there anyone who cares about this matter? Lin asked curiously: "Is the incident on the Sid very noticeable? Sorry, if I made a mistake, just think that I feel too good about myself."
"No, you are too modest. The movement of the Sid can be said to be the topic that everyone is most concerned about in the past few days. Generally, airships have to reach the Holy City from the border of the empire. If they park at the If you rest in the city, the entire journey will take about two months. Even if someone is on the road and only stops when supplies are necessary, and they fly at night, it will only reduce the time by about XX (20) days, and it will still take more than a month. Only then can we arrive. Your Excellency's ship, the Sid, arrived at the Holy City from the border in less than IV (4) days. At this speed, no one can avoid paying attention."
Of course someone knew that the Theed was very fast, even faster than most airships in Lost Land. But such a high level of attention was unexpected. But this is not a bad thing.
When you come to an academic holy place like Estari, you are most afraid that no one will know you. Once you become famous, although there will be people who dislike you, there should be people who are willing to support you. So seriously, it's a mixed bag.
But it is much better than being unknown and hitting walls everywhere. Even if you use the old trick and say that you are the creator of the forum and the co-creator of the P language, you still have to find a way to prove it in order to win people's trust. This can be considered a disadvantage of wandering around.
Now that the score of the Sid can be a stepping stone, Lin has also adjusted his follow-up arrangements. But before he could think about it, Balta asked again: "I wonder what the main reason for your coming to Estali is?"
"Oh." His thoughts were interrupted, and Lin subconsciously responded, but had no further words.
But Balta hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, sir. I just want to know your purpose, and maybe I can introduce some important people who can help. And several teachers who care about me also hope to meet you."
"Oh, I hope I can find a sponsor to build the magic tower. Is there anything you can do?"
Someone's request made Balta pause and was speechless for a long time, which also made the situation a bit embarrassing. Lin smiled, tried to resolve the cold atmosphere, and said: "Haha, I know this kind of thing is very special, so I just wanted to come and see if there is an opportunity. I will not refuse a kind invitation as long as I have time. Yes. But Your Excellency, you have also seen that I have just arrived in Estali."
"Of course, of course." Balta walked down the stairs and asked: "Do you have any acquaintances in the Holy City? Do you need a guide?─" As he said this, he pulled a tomboy-like apprentice from behind. Before, "──If you don't mind, let me, the apprentice, help you lead the way. She may not dare to say that she is familiar with the whole city, but she can find reputable people to assist with all matters big and small in District VI. .”
"Oh, this is of great help, thank you so much. I was just worried about where to start my life in Estali. Could you please trouble this person...──" "Urzhai, sir, My name is Urzai." "──Okay, Urzai, take my apprentice to hire a carriage. I have a lot of luggage to transport, and I also need to find a place to live temporarily."
"Okay, sir, okay. I wonder who wants to follow me?" Uryu seemed anxious to get things done, and spoke a little hastily.
The girl actively wants to show her attitude, and Lin won't be offended. He asked his two apprentices to follow him and get to know the way. Apart from Augustus, Ezio, who was not very good at talking, was the most attached to Harumi, so he pestered her to go with him. 53 Chinese website
Lin had some doubts about the safety of the environment he had just arrived in. He had some doubts about whether he should let three young girls, plus a child who couldn't even run quickly, go out on their own.
However, seeing that the lich was very enthusiastic and started to give some additional tasks, I thought that these two girls were trained well by the lich a while ago, so they should have made some progress. Moreover, there is also a local snake named Wu Erzhen who leads the way, so he should not be unlucky enough to run into unsolvable troubles when he leaves home.
As for Augustus, because walking was not very convenient and the dragon nature was lazy, he had no intention of following him. He waved his hand and let Ezio play by himself.
With a casual move, the box cutter is in hand. Lin handed the long sword that liked to chatter endlessly to the hand of the nearest girl and said, "Take it with you. Even if it cannot defend yourself, it can still be used as an alarm bell to scare others."
However, Harumi had a look of disgust on his face. He twisted Hakakiri with his index finger and said, "I swear I won't use anything with a sharp edge. Don't you know?"
Before the girl's teacher could reply, the rejected weapon said dissatisfiedly: "Where did I strike? Where did I strike? Look at my sword blade. Even if you ask a strong man to saw raw meat, it will take him a long time." It can't cut flesh, it can only scratch skin. Look, is there a more peace-loving long sword in the world than me?"
"Evil." The dissatisfied girl made a strange expression.
Teachers are a little helpless. I really don’t know where they learned their stubbornness. All I can say is: "If you don't want to take it, just give it to Kaya. Anyway, if something happens, he will contact me faster than you."
Harumi hurriedly handed Hakakiri to Kaya's hand, while the black-haired and brown-skinned girl directly grabbed the blade of the sword, tried to put it on her shoulder, and then tried to tie it around her waist and hold it in her hand. Anyway, it was All kinds of discomfort. Haggiri was no longer polite and started talking trash to the two girls. But Halumi responded more, and Kaya remained silent.
After seeing off the three children and the four children, Lin turned to Balta and said: "Thank you for your assistance. However, you still have to charge the fees related to the airship docking here. About us..."
"No need, Your Excellency."
Well, what kind of trick is this? Lin looked confused.
Balta smiled and said: "I will help you handle the expenses. Now please settle down."
"Then those teachers of yours..."
"When everything is ready, we will send you a formal invitation letter."
"Okay. Then we'll meet again then." Lin put his hand on his heart and bowed. At the same time, he said: "But this is really great, you can meet sensible people. I thought that as soon as I arrived, there would be the kind of troublesome people who treat people they don't know as fat sheep and blackmail them when they meet."
Balta responded with the same courtesy and said with a smile: "People who can ride an airship are either rich or noble, or they are magicians themselves. Generally, if ruffians are more thoughtful, they will not provoke such people. But people like Those kind of short-sighted people probably won't live long. The people of Estali are still very much like magicians."
The implication is that everyone will find out the details of their opponent before going up to them to bully them. It won't be like those naive people in the past who don't know who their opponent is and just want to go head-on. Whenever the iron plate is kicked, the whole family will be killed. In response to the evil smile in Balta's eyes, Lin could only laugh a few times.
After the two sides exchanged a few more pleasantries, Balta left with a group of people.
Only then did Fen step forward and ask, "Do you believe they have no ill intentions?"
"The so-called malice and goodwill are just a matter of degree. In short, we have the benefits they are eager to get. There is nothing wrong with using this to open up the situation in Estali. Or do you want to stand on the streets and shout , selling one’s own skills?”
"Well, forget it then."
Everyone didn't wait long, and the two girls, led by Uryu, hired back two carriages and the driver. The group of people moved all the luggage on the Sid into the carriage in a hurry.
