Chapter 1026 Small Changes in the Times 2

Lin was surprised and said: "What's the point of using my name to deceive? If that goblin really wants to make a name for himself, wouldn't it be better to use his own name?"

"The problem is the repair and manufacturing of the ship. The goblin can't handle it." Juan spread his hands with a helpless expression. "You know, there are so many undercurrents operating in private in order to obtain the secrets of that airship. There are many people who plan to use drastic measures. It's not that the goblin doesn't want to monopolize all these secrets in order to improve himself. But it seems like you can’t handle it. I originally thought you were being pushed out as a shield, but it seems that the goblin was telling the truth, and you are the one who really controls all of this."

Of course, Lin knew that the airship Sid he had transformed was definitely a product that transcended the era of Midi. But that is just a civilian version of the airship, and it is far different from the version with official background. Just comparing the armament of the Gauss Bertone, it would not be a problem to blow up ten Sids.

Someone helped transform it and even contributed all the magic materials he carried with him in order to escape the desperate situation in the snowy mountains. Depending on the situation at the time, wasting resources on weapons would simply be a waste of the opportunity to be rescued. You have to be really stupid to want to make a weapon in that situation.

Since arming was not necessary, someone simply did not add any weapons to the Sid. So Lin was puzzled by Juan Javier's praise and asked: "Is that ship really so attractive? It doesn't have any means of attack, it's just fast. You can't see everyone ramming it, right?" .”

"You, a guy who is so good at analyzing words, told me that the airship is only fast and nothing else. Is this the truth, or is it shameless boasting? You don't even know what that goblin did. You're not even paying attention to things."

Lin asked curiously: "What did he do?"

"Time is money!" Juan Javier said in a singing voice a phrase that was so familiar to someone. He continued: "I heard that this sentence came from your mouth. And that goblin not only preached this sentence everywhere, but also carried it forward."

"Well, I'm getting curious."

"What that goblin does is actually what ordinary civilian airships do, transporting goods and carrying guests. But have you ever thought about it, his speed is not that fast. For the same distance, most flying The airship takes three days to travel, but the Sid only takes less than half a day. If someone is in a hurry to deliver the goods, or hopes to get to the destination as soon as possible, the goblin will charge three to five times the price. Although The price is quite exaggerated, but no one can rob him of this unique business, and even those who want to rob it can’t catch up with him.”

"Want to rob him? So exciting!" Lin said in surprise.

"It's definitely more exciting than you think. In the past, caravans carrying expensive goods could only use increased escort forces to ensure that the goods could reach their destination. And these escort forces, in addition to eliminating possible dangers during the journey, In addition to encountering monsters and natural disasters, the most important thing is to guard against other bandits with ulterior motives. Even so, the possibility of damage during the journey is still quite high. A long-distance trip in the Lost Lands is no less than an adventure in a dungeon. But the speed of the Sid can eliminate many unstable factors."

"The uneasy factor? Bandit monsters and the like, no matter what kind of airship they are facing. This should have nothing to do with whether it is the Sid or not."

"It's true that robbers can't steal ships flying in the sky, but for airships, the biggest enemies are other flying monsters. However, no flying monsters can catch up with the Sid at full speed. This is very important to other flying monsters. What a surprise for an airship that can only rely on force to protect itself. And that’s not to mention the Sid’s biggest weapon.”

"The biggest weapon?" Someone's idea of ​​​​this word is that the goblin of Totokani has been repaired, and even a set of goblin cannons have been mounted on the airship! Before you can hurt others, hurt yourself first to see if you are afraid.

"Looking at your expression, you are probably thinking of things like goblin artillery."

Lin Gan laughed a few times.

Juan Javier shook his head and said: "It's not that kind of weapon. As far as I know, it's called an engine."

"Engine? What's wrong with this thing?" Lin was surprised and asked in confusion.

"The movement range of the airship will be limited by the magic tower that is willing to provide parking. This is because the only source of power and energy for the traditional airship is the semi-permanent energy pool. It is said that the engine relies on burning a Black Water obtains propulsion power and reduces the consumption of the airship's energy pool. In other words, with the same power reserve, the Sid has a wider range of activities than other airships, and can even reach some places that traditional airships cannot reach. . How amazing is such an advantage in your opinion?"

"Amazing?"

"It can be considered scary, but nothing is just amazing. Think about it, the Sid can go to places that other airships cannot reach, which means that the Sid will have more guests than other airships. Therefore, even if the cost of a ride on the Sid is much more expensive than other airships, only a few people can afford it; but just such a "few" is enough to keep the goblin busy. Now on the forum, if you want to entrust the Sid, you have to make a reservation, and it is scheduled for half a year. In this way, he can receive more remuneration for one trip than others, and it takes more time to fly than others. Less, then the money that the Sid can earn compared to others is not just three to five times."

After hearing what Juan said, Lin glanced at the great magician up and down with surprised eyes. But he was not shocked by the content of the conversation, but by the man who spoke. "It's not simple. Apart from magic and women, I've never seen you care so much about business. Is this a gender change?"

"Hey, thanks to you and the Cid taking the lead, this environment has been blessed. Do you know why I was appointed as the captain of the Gosbottom? Especially since I also serve as the dean of the Royal Academy of Magic, and at the same time in the Kingdom Working part-time in the Magicians Association was something that was never possible before."

"Then why?" Someone asked, fulfilling his duty of complimenting.

"I know a lot of people. The cost of maintaining an airship is quite high; and with the opening of forums and shopping malls, people's demand for distant goods has greatly increased. Do you know how many magicians are unwilling to do what they did in the past? , waiting for a magic material for half a year, and you may not necessarily get it. In the past, whether something was available or not depended on whether the entrusted chamber of commerce was capable enough. Now through the convenience of the forum and the mall, you know where the thing you want is, and you only need It's just delivered. They are not short of money, so they are willing to pay a little more and get the things quickly. Under this incentive, many airships come out to do business. Of course, the items transported are also very valuable and rare. Items. Therefore, a captain who is well-rounded and good at making friends is more important than anything else. At least he has to find a suitable magic tower to berth, and he is not the kind of person who can't say a word for a long time. of."
