In the process of moving things off the airship, Lin did not let the two goblins help. On the one hand, it was because they were weak and useless, and on the other hand, it was because they had something to entrust to Totokani.
He led the gnome to the driver's seat, reached out and took down the Hawaiian hula doll, and said, "Totokani, try starting the Sid again."
Although he didn't understand what he meant, the goblin did it anyway. He just turned the ignition switch several times, but there was no response from the Sid. It wasn't until someone put the hula doll back into place that the goblin successfully launched the Sid. Magical power is transmitted to every mechanism and device through the magic array carved on the bulkhead.
Lin then pulled out the hula doll. At this time, the Sid seemed to be disconnected from the energy assembly, and all magical power quickly faded and became dim.
The goblin was surprised by this scene and asked: "What is going on?"
"Just think of it as something more sophisticated than the key device you are used to using." After saying that, Lin handed the hula doll to the goblin's hand and said: "According to the previous agreement, Xi I'll leave the German number to you, owner. Although I didn't send anyone to supervise it, you won't deliberately default on paying me for the modification of the airship."
According to the agreement, the Sid was handed over to the goblins, but the ownership still belonged to Lin. From every goblin's flight, Lin's income is split 50-50 between the goblin father and his daughter. However, including the purchase of supplies and oil, simple repairs, etc., all costs are 50% of the goblin's.
In the future, Totokani will need to come to Lin regularly and hand over the amount earned during this period. When Lin needs to use the airship, someone has the first priority to use the Sid. These contents were recorded in black and white documents, and both parties signed and agreed. This was the previous agreement.
But will the goblin be so obedient and fully fulfill the agreement? One person is very sure that the other person will never do that. This is the nature of goblins, cunning and a little clever. Lin also did not observe any personality in Totokani that was different from other goblins.
For Lin, instead of trying to find a way to supervise whether the goblin has handed over the proceeds, it is better to consider another more important issue. This guy directly sold the Sid at a low price, or did something that someone did not want to see. Change. So Lin felt that he needed to tell the goblins some back-up plans.
After laughing a few times, he said: "Totokani, I think I must warn you about a few things that you must not do."
The goblin who has a little understanding of this magician's character knows that nothing good will happen when the other person smiles so strangely. But since he said it, he had to ask for clarification, so he had to say: "Sir, please tell me, and I will definitely do it."
"First of all, when staying in this airship, there are some taboo names that cannot be spoken. For example, the name of your previous airship, or some other names you thought of. Don't be unconvinced, and don't think It’s nothing. You’ll know after I test it. Hindenburg.”
As soon as the key words were spoken, a burst of red light suddenly flashed inside the Sid. At the same time, a water mirror screen automatically appeared in front of the main driver's seat, and a warning message was displayed on it: Warning, a taboo word has appeared, and the passenger is asked not to mention it again. Remaining chance of tolerance: II(2) times. When the remaining chance of tolerance reaches zero, the airship will initiate a self-destruction procedure.
Totokani looked at the warning written in Common Language on the screen and asked dumbly: "This...is this?"
Lin cracked a smile and suddenly said quickly: "Hindenburg, Hindenburg, Hindenburg."
I saw that the tolerance opportunities on the screen quickly decreased to zero. After it was mentioned for the last time, the red warning light inside the Sid flashed and never turned off again. The warning message on the screen is also replaced by a countdown countdown.
At the same time, the unknown magical power began to spread toward the surrounding equipment along the magic array pattern in the bulkhead. The amount of power output was so great that it began to overflow from the array patterns, indicating that the magic array was on the verge of losing control.
"This is... this is..." Totokani is also a creature of the Lost Earth after all. He understands what this kind of power overflow means, and is not even unfamiliar with it. The prelude to the big explosion that I accidentally caused will most likely look like this. And the scale this time was even greater than anything he had ever encountered before.
The goblin was about to run away, but Lin grabbed him by the collar and held him back. At the same time, he operated the keyboard with his left hand and entered a long series of instructions. Lin eliminated the danger of self-destruction and reset the number of tolerance opportunities. And said: "You know what will happen if you change the airship to some name that I don't like."
"This...can it be lifted?" Totokani looked at the Sid returning to normal, his original worry turned into bright eyes, and asked: "Can you tell me how to lift it?"
"Hey, here's the fun part. It's impossible for me to tell you how to deactivate self-destruction. So as long as you or anyone violates the taboos I set on the Sid, then click!" Someone did it An exaggerated expression, with hands made like flowers.
Knowing that this was another way to restrain himself, the goblin's face dropped and he asked bitterly: "Then can you please tell me how powerful this is?"
"It's not very big. When you see the countdown start, you should rush away from the Sid. If you are lucky and can find a hard enough cover, you should have a chance to survive."
The goblin trembled and said in shock: "...This...isn't this big?"
"In my opinion, the explosion is so powerful that if you only start running when you see the countdown, it will be too late. Although goblins are very good at making explosive things, when it comes to the ancestors of explosions, we are still magicians. . In terms of power, controllability, and nonsense, you haven’t done your job yet.”
Totokani's already wrinkled green face became even more ugly now. But there are still some things that need to be asked clearly. "Then, Your Excellency, what other taboos are there on the Sid? You can tell me these."
"Basically, whenever someone wants to dismantle any equipment on the Sid, just run away. I don't want others to dismantle my hard work at will, of course, including you. If a serious failure occurs, there is no way to dismantle it. If the Sid flies to find me, please contact me or my two apprentices."
"Okay." Totokani responded disappointedly.
Although he didn't ask in detail, he could probably guess why the goblin was disappointed. However, someone had no intention of overturning the previous decision. He only patted Totokani on the shoulder and stepped off the airship that had already emptied his luggage. After that, there are still many things to be busy with.
By the time everyone settled down, it was already midnight.
Because the next arrangements have not yet been determined, Lin did not casually decide which house to buy for long-term living. Besides, this is not something that can be solved in one day. Therefore, everyone chose to stay in a clean and comfortable hotel for the time being.
Due to the large number of people, Wu Erzhen, who was responsible for leading the way, also spent a lot of effort to find a hotel that could accommodate them, and finally found a hotel that satisfied everyone. The main reason lies in the black dragon Augustus.
Don't look at the fact that he used humanization magic to transform himself into a human form, but Long's power still exists no matter how suppressed it is. If you stay by his side, you might not feel anything for a while. But after a long time, there will be various uncomfortable symptoms. Unless you stay longer, you will gradually become immune.
In Abadan before, I could stay in a hotel without incident. To be honest, it felt a bit like bullying the hotel owner because he was too inexperienced to realize such a problem.
But where are you now? The Holy Land of Magicians, one of the several centers of knowledge and scholarship in the Lost World, Augustus' identity cannot be concealed at all. Besides, someone's information has been widely circulated these days. Even if others don't pay attention, at least they know that there is a magician, a lich and a black dragon in this team.
Therefore, most hotels with insufficient magic protection could only politely refuse the stay of Lin and his party.
It wasn't until a luxury hotel opened by a retired magician who was no longer on the front lines of the battle, her husband, and her apprentice that they finally accepted the group. During this process, Wu Erzhen also asked her teacher to use relationships to get the senior magician to agree to accept everyone.
As for the black dragon, it is really not a problem for this hotel run by a magician. Because their customer base is originally targeted at VIPs from various alien planes. It was as if someone had just entered the door and saw a mind flayer with an octopus head walking past at the bottom of the corridor...
It is precisely because the customer base is a bit special that the senior magician will choose the tenants who stay here very carefully. They will not accept it at all if they are not acquaintances, have confirmed that the other party is keeping their peace, or have an acquaintance as a guarantee. But as long as they can get in, the other party's attitude is still very kind. There is no innate sense of self-esteem like that of the Master or the residents of the Holy City.
However, being friendly, the hotels in Midland are still far from the hotels on Earth, in terms of service. The point is, no one helps move things. In fact, this is also to avoid possible disputes caused by breaking things, especially magician's items. People who don't know its characteristics can touch it casually, and the explosions are minor. Various weird curses are sometimes not easy to remove even by the magician himself.
When I stayed in hotels in the past, I mostly stayed in small courtyards rented out to caravans, which mainly had warehouses and stables. Moreover, it used to be our own horse-drawn carriage, so the entire vehicle can be parked directly in the warehouse, saving time on moving it up and down. But this time the carriage was rented, so it was impossible to keep it without returning it. So it took everyone a lot of time to move things and organize things.
This was still a ride on an airship, and most of the fortune was invested in the self-rescue project of repairing the airship. A lot of rare magic materials were missing, which made today's labor a lot less.
Thanks to the lich for his perseverance ~ Someone grinds his teeth.
"What, what are you looking at?" The Lich's beautiful eyes were as bright as lightning, as if they were about to stare right through people.
Someone retreats.
