Chapter 1,313 Doubts From the Grand Duke
A certain magician far away in the holy city of Estali Cat Winter first learned about it from the gray cats, then from Kaya's report on the forum, and finally, he raised a bloody flag to the Risa family and shouted for revenge. Duke Kawei also came to join in the fun.
However, the old Duke's face looked very bad, as black as if it was covered with feces. Especially those sad eyes, almost as if they were trying to materialize their resentment and strangle someone by the neck.
If it weren't for the special status of the old Duke, someone would have used the flash technique to leave long ago. Why bother being looked at like this by a man, especially an old man. However, since arriving in Estali, I have received a lot of help from the elderly. Thinking of this kindness, even though his eyes were intimidating, Lin still endured it and sat obediently opposite the old man, not daring to move.
After a long time, Duke Kawei let out a long breath, his expression full of helplessness. Say: "Did you know?"
"What do you know?" Lin asked pretending to be stupid.
"The news that all the Rizal family members are dead." This should have made the enemy very happy, but Ricardo Carvey was not happy. I don’t know if it’s because the rabbit died and the fox was sad, or because he couldn’t take revenge with his own hands?
"Well, I heard about it." Although Lin knew the news, for a while, he didn't know that this matter was actually related to him. The so-called gossip is not just all kinds of weird rumors spread wildly, and out of ten sentences, it is estimated that nine are false and one is true.
So someone didn't think about himself for a moment. Just because the dispute between the Kawi and Risa families is the most important news in recent times besides the opening of the bank. Therefore, as soon as there is a turning point, news will naturally fly everywhere.
But Lin didn't pay attention. How could Duke Kawei, his sworn enemy, not pay attention. Even if he hadn't investigated the complete truth about what happened that day, he had still investigated everything. The old Duke asked: "Let me ask you a question, is it possible that the car I was driving had a big explosion? The kind of explosion that can blow the whole city into the sky."
Although Lin didn't know what was going on, he said matter-of-factly: "Theoretically, it is possible. After all, there is a large amount of power stored, and as long as it is guided, no effect can be achieved. Isn't that what magic is all about. Why do you ask this?" Let's talk about it. The child jumped from Risa's house to a big explosion, and someone was a little confused.
"Do you know how the Risa family ended up doing this? I heard that none of the biological children of that old ghost Anji escaped." When the name of that old enemy was mentioned, Mr. Kawei was itching with hatred. But the fact made him feel a little happy.
Lin recalled the messy news and said: "I heard that there was a loud noise, and then the people in White Fox City discovered that although White Fox Castle had not been razed to the ground, it still had the fifth floor with only one floor left. The situation. I don’t know what they were doing to get away with it, and they killed themselves. Judging from the appearance of the adults, this thing should not be done by you. "
"It is said that someone saw the airship Sid landing at White Fox Castle before the explosion." The old Duke gritted his teeth and glared at the person in front of him.
Lin was shocked when he heard this. He didn't even ask whether it was true or false. He directly opened the water mirror screen and brought out the data of the Sid. Pay special attention to whether the return record is interrupted, when it was interrupted, and where the last recorded location of the airship was.
If either Kaya or Halumi had been around, Lin would definitely not have come on his own. Unfortunately, several of his apprentices, including Leonardo, were sent away on missions. There are people around him who were transferred from the group of children to serve him, namely the three Bobosha brothers. However, these three children can only help with some small things in daily life, and they are not at the level of work secretaries.
After retrieving the message from the Sid, it was confirmed that what the old Duke said was correct. He immediately used the flash technique and appeared above the ruins of White Fox Castle.
It's late winter and spring is approaching. However, the cold wind never spared anyone, especially a certain fool floating in the air. After sneezing, Lin remembered to apply auxiliary magic to himself. A magician who can survive in a vacuum environment will certainly not be troubled by this wind.
Taking a closer look, the ground turned out to be a ruined castle. The original appearance can no longer be seen clearly, only ruins and ruins remain. However, there are a large number of people moving rocks and rescuing people. And many people have been pulled out from outside the ruins. Those who are alive are being rescued, and those who are dead are covered with a layer of cloth.
After checking the situation and collecting environmental information, Lin flashed back to Estali's home. He didn't even have time to greet the old Duke who was sitting beside him. He stared at the several water mirror screens that were pulled out with a solemn expression and started doing simulation calculations.
After several calculations, Lin let out a long breath and said: "Based on the original appearance of White Fox Fort in the records and the current appearance, it is indeed possible that it was caused by the explosion of the Sid." Lin showed several pictures at the same time. The pictures and charts are respectively the current and past appearance of White Fox Castle and the explosion simulation of the Sid.
What Lin did not say was that he did not rule out the possibility that it was caused by other people or other things, and then the Sid was forced offline and moved elsewhere, and could no longer transmit data back. After all, no wreckage of the Sid was found at the scene, which is not enough to prove whether an airship exploded in White Fox Castle.
But for this to happen, you must first be able to understand the explosive power of the Sid and then make a disguise. Then there is the ability to crack the program backdoor in the Sid, so that you can change the situation without telling someone. If he could really encounter such an enemy, then Lin would admit it.
It was only confirmed that it was probably affected by the explosion of the Sid. Lin immediately thought, I wonder what happened to Totokani and his daughter. Did they escape the scope of the explosion?
He usually doesn't pay much attention to the movements of the goblin father and daughter. After all, it was Totokani who took the initiative to distance himself, and Lin had no intention of forcing the alienated goblin to turn back. But when encountering this kind of thing, I still think about it. Anyway, we share the same sorrow.
However, the old Duke was concerned about something else. He said: "This means that the rumor that you can control the explosion of the Sid is true. What about the cars made by the Automobile Center?"
It seems that the old man is worried that he will be blown up to the sky. Faced with this kind of worry, Lin Ke didn't dare to joke about it. He explained sternly: "My lord, power becomes both magic and deity. Its power is immeasurable. But there is always a way to guide and use it, and it is not entirely created out of nothing. The most important key is 'use'. How?" Who is using it? It’s like you carry a sword with you. It can kill people and hurt yourself. But you don’t wear it because the sword can hurt yourself?”
Although Duke Kawei didn't carry a sword as someone said, he could still understand this reasoning. His expression became much gentler as a result.
Seeing that the old man had been stabilized, Lin further said: "Sir, I have always been aboveboard and upright in doing things. Whatever I do, I will clearly hand it over to others. Unless it is taken by myself without my consent. , then you will be responsible for the consequences, and no one should have anything to say. Regarding the explosion of the Sid, I have already made it clear to the Goblin Totokani and his daughter. The reason why I did not say anything about the car is because I have never done such a thing. .”
The old man's suspicious eyes showed that he still didn't understand a lot. Lin simply told the story of the original construction of the Sid, and then said:
"In order to prevent the technology from leaking out, or even being dismantled and sold without authorization, I set up a ban on the Sid. Once the ban is triggered, the airship will overload the secondary energy pool and detonate all the capabilities in it. But all taboos , the methods of evasion, and the method of deactivating the self-destruction procedure after it started, I clearly told the Totokani father and daughter. It can be said that in addition to the method of deactivating the self-destruction device, there are other things that should be paid attention to, and I can tell them all. I’ve told you. My intention is to hope that he doesn’t violate my limits, and I don’t really want to blow him up. In this way..."
Someone didn't mention it, but he didn't expect that when he mentioned the measures he had set up, the goblins had a habit of fearing death. They hadn't done it in these years, so why did they do it this time? Then the only possibility is that when the Sid was triggered to self-destruct, the goblin father and daughter were either not present or dead. Thinking of this, Lin sighed again.
However, this explanation could not relieve the old Duke's doubts. Besides, when it comes to life-related matters, you can never be too careful. So Mr. Kawei still asked uneasily: "According to you, are you sure the car is safe?"
"Sir, let me put it this way. The reason why the White Fox Castle was blown up into such a tragic state is because the Sid's secondary energy pool was filled with more than 90% of the power. Only when it was nearly fully loaded could it be like that. The power of the explosion. But I don’t understand your worries. After all, as long as there is such a possibility, it is normal to worry. But sir, have you ever thought about the possibility of hurting yourself? Why do you worry about cars but not Worried about swords and other weapons?”
When asked this question, Duke Kawei was stunned for a moment and said in a daze, "Yes, why?"
Lin explained seriously: "There is no complicated reason, it's just because you are more familiar with swords but not cars. Of course, it doesn't matter how to use the sword, and how to cast it. Even if you have never made any sword by yourself, I think you understand the process, and even have the opportunity to watch. So you understand the process of how to transform an ordinary piece of iron into a weapon. But this is not the case with cars. Perhaps your current driving skills are They are quite excellent, but they still have little understanding of how to build a car. Even the technicians at the auto center may still only know how to do it in some areas, but they don’t know why they do it.——"
Having said this, someone spread out his hands with a helpless expression.
"——So, why don't I report to the car center often now, and even help solve design problems? Sir, you also know my identity. If I am always the one to solve machine problems, others will still be useless. I don’t understand, I just do it. Then don’t talk about what will happen to the automobile industry after I die. Just talking about this issue of safety and trust will never improve. Every aspect of a car has been thoroughly studied by everyone. . So at that time, no one would have any doubts about whether there is a mechanism on a car that threatens the safety of the passengers."
The old Duke seemed convinced and remained silent. And Lin's mood was as legitimate and defensible as his explanation. It was definitely not because he wanted to be lazy and just take dividends without doing anything!
If you can talk about it, who wants to be the one who enjoys the blessings?
