Volume 20 Chapter 154 So Fast!
The two mages who had just discussed the solution quickly ran over to us and told us their decision. The final decision was of course to issue us two sets of badges, one set was real, with our true strength marked on it, and the other set was fake. Yes, it only briefly mentions a profession that will not be troubled by the Temple of Light. Of course, the level of this profession is also quite high. At least others will not dare to cause trouble for us anymore. 【】
After deciding how to level up our badges, the two mages started making badges for us. Originally, the badges here were all ready-made, but the professions of a few of us were too special, so we needed to make them now, but fortunately we The special equipment was very fast, and it almost took just a few minutes to complete. Moreover, it was not that no one was given one set, but each person was given two identical sets. It is said that they were used as backups to prevent loss.
The president's guards saw us getting it and left. After all, their job was to prevent us from being members of the Dark Alliance, and since we weren't, there was no problem.
After the guards left, we started to act according to the plan. First, we expressed our wish to see the king to the two mages. The two mages thought this was a good thing, but this was neither the royal capital nor senior personnel, so there was nothing we could do. No guarantee, but according to them, it shouldn't be difficult to meet the king with our strength. There is also a necromancer among our companions, so the king should really want to see us.
Since the other party said that, of course we asked how to get to the royal capital. As a result, the other party said that this was a big deal, so the older mage accompanied us specially. Due to his identity, it was easier to go there directly. We have found the senior person in charge, so contacting them will be faster. As for the investigation of the local protoss, after our simple analysis, we still feel that it is faster to go to the royal capital to investigate the headquarters.
According to what the old mage meant, he originally planned to use the carriage of their laboratory to send us there, but I was suspicious that it would actually take three days to arrive at the royal capital, so I simply refused. Just kidding, our mission time is only one or two days in total. Three days to go to the capital, unless our heads are caught in the door.
As for transportation, we just need to give us directions. I said to the old mage. The other party didn't force it after thinking about it, but in fact, the actual situation is completely different from what they thought.
When the old mage heard that we had transportation, his first reaction was that we came on horseback, and he might have thought that our horses might be of a high-end breed, so they were faster than carriages. This was his understanding, but although we We did ride horses when we entered the city, but we actually had no intention of riding to the royal capital.
We got rid of the reason why we rode horses before because we didn’t know what the mission was and we were afraid of missing the clues if we were too fast. Now that we know where we are going and the goal is clear, why do we still have to toss on the ground? Therefore, when the old mage packed up the things he needed and went outside to receive them, he immediately started to look around.
"Excuse me, what are you looking for?" Seeing the old mage looking around, we didn't realize for a moment that he was looking for the horse that didn't exist.
When the old master heard our question, he asked us: "Didn't you say there is a horse? Where is the horse?"
"horse?"
"That's right." The old mage looked at us with confusion and said: "Without horses, do we have to walk to the capital? Or should we use the carriage from our laboratory? Don't worry, our carriage is really fast. Three days We'll be there, almost twice as fast as a public carriage."
"Can this be twice as fast?" The Son of the Night sighed from the side: "Then how slow does your public carriage have to be?"
"Actually, the public carriage is very fast. It's always much faster than walking by myself." What the old mage said was true. Because this is a low-demon world, things like teleportation arrays are much rarer here than in the main world. In the main game map, there are not many cities like Essinger that have built teleportation halls like international airports, but no matter it is a big or small city, there will always be at least a teleportation array, and most upper-level cities will have good ones. Dozens of teleportation arrays work simultaneously. However, the teleportation arrays here are basically national-level equipment, and there are only a few teleportation arrays in a country. It is normal for a weak country to not even have one.
Precisely because the teleportation array here basically cannot be used as a means of transportation, and there are very few monsters here, the fastest means of transportation here is almost a horse, and the speed of a carriage is only slightly slower than riding alone. a little. Taking this situation as a reference, the old mage was right in saying that the public carriage was not slow. However, although the old mage doesn't think it is slow, we can't stand the speed.
"I know your public carriage is quite fast, but we still get used to our own mounts." I said and waved directly, and Feiniao immediately appeared beside us. However, because the flying bird has no legs, it is very troublesome to land. Under normal circumstances, I don't let him land.
The newly released bird immediately flew upwards, then performed a backflip in the air and dived down from behind us. Seeing the flying bird rushing over, I grabbed the old mage and jumped up. The bird accelerated and flew past my feet, accurately caught me, and then accelerated towards Feikongfei. Seeing me flying away, Hongyue and the others released their own guardian spears and jumped up, then accelerated to catch up with us who had deliberately slowed down.
After all, the flying bird is the leader of the spear, and the race column in his attributes is written with blood thorns instead of the spear. It can be said that the flying bird should be the advanced creature of the spear. This level advantage determines that the speed of the flying bird is far beyond what the spear can catch up with. If we don't deliberately slow down, the spear will not be able to keep up.
Although the flying speed of Hong Yue and their guardian spears was taken care of, that was because the flying birds were too fast, not that the spears really flew very slowly. You must know that after consuming magic power to activate the supersonic assault skill, the spear can also fly at supersonic speeds. Although it is only flying at normal speed now, it is still flying at a speed of seven to eight hundred kilometers per hour. This speed is indeed much slower than the bird's cruising speed of one thousand kilometers per hour, but for the old mage lying on the bird with me, this speed is quite scary.
"Ah..." Along with a burst of shrill screams, the old mage disappeared into the sky, making the little mage who saw us off sighed in his heart. Fortunately, he was not responsible for sending us to the royal capital, otherwise he would be the one screaming now. .
"Hey, hey, hey, stop screaming!" Under my instruction, the bird raised the air board on its back and formed a
A long oval-shaped depression. A person lying in it is basically covered by the bird except for the back. In this way, even if the bird accelerates, the person lying on its back will not fall easily and can still get up. To integrate the role of aerodynamics. However, I generally don’t use this function. Unless the bird wants to fly at supersonic speed, there is basically no need for me to hide in the pit. However, the old magician is obviously not very good at fighting high-altitude air currents, so I asked Asuka to put up the protective board and further reduce the speed to less than 600 kilometers per hour, although this speed is compared to that of a galloping horse on the ground. It was still frighteningly fast, but under the protection of the rectifier, the old Master himself was actually no longer exposed to too much wind.
The old Master, who had been screaming, realized that the surrounding air seemed to have weakened a lot after hearing my shout, so he stopped shouting and carefully raised his head, but his head just As soon as he left the range of Asuka's fairing and gas mask, he immediately felt a huge force coming towards him. The overwhelming force pulled all his hair back, making the old man feel that his hair was about to be pulled out. Lost.
Seeing this situation, I remembered that the old man didn't have a helmet, so I quickly went over and gave him a large knight's helmet and put it on his head.
Compared with the human head, the aerodynamic shape of the helmet is obviously much better, and the most important thing is that this thing can protect the hair. Thanks to that our speed has slowed down now. Otherwise, if the speed of 700 to 800 kilometers per hour is maintained, the old man probably won't even have a hair left if he raises his head. However, even at a speed of less than 600 kilometers, the old man's scalp was still painful. If his hair was not of good quality, it would not be possible for it to be pulled out by the wind.
"How's it going? Are you feeling better now?" I asked aloud after putting the helmet on the old man.
The old man nodded tremblingly and said: "I was really scared to death just now. I thought my head was going to fly away. But speaking of what kind of monster is your mount? Not only can it fly, but it is also so fast. I i It feels like even the divine eagle cannot be that fast."
"I don't know what the divine eagle is. This is my magic pet bird, and the current speed is not his best. I just let him fly so slowly because I was worried that you wouldn't be able to bear it."
The old man originally thought that this speed was quite scary, but he didn't expect that this was actually the result of us deliberately slowing down to take care of him. In excitement, the old man asked directly: "How fast can your mount fly?"
I shook my head and said, "Asuka's special ability is speed. He belongs to the branch of alchemical creatures and can increase his flying speed by consuming magic power. So far, I have never tried what his ultimate speed is. But For him, this speed is just like an ordinary person walking, it is really slow, his normal flying speed should be twice as fast as this."
"The normal speed is twice as fast? Isn't the ultimate speed many times faster?"
"Of course. At least it's five or six times faster than the current speed. It's still very easy."
"Oh my god! According to you, won't we be able to reach the royal capital soon?"
What the old mage said is actually absolutely correct. According to him, it would take three days to get to the royal capital by riding the carriage from their laboratory. The running speed of a horse is approximately 70 kilometers per hour, but that is the speed measured when the horse is unloaded. Whether it is riding a person on its back or pulling a car behind it, you cannot expect the horse to run at this speed. Of course, it is not ruled out that some horses with special physiques can hope to run faster than this, but normally Most horses can't do it.
Even if we relax the restrictions on the carriages in the laboratory, assuming that the carriages can run at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour for ten hours, they will only move 300 kilometers in that day. You must know that the power of the carriage is the horse, and the horse is a living thing, not a machine. You can run a car with two or three drivers in shifts so that everyone can rest without stopping, but horses cannot. Horses also need to eat and sleep, and no matter how good their endurance is, they will still get tired. A horse that runs ten hours a day is already a very good horse. Most horses simply cannot run at a constant speed for ten hours, otherwise they must The horse was exhausted to death. However, after we relax the standard and assume that he can run for ten hours, that is only 300 kilometers a day. Three days is only 900 kilometers.
Is nine hundred kilometers far? It is indeed quite far for terrestrial creatures. Many creatures may never leave the three-kilometer radius near their birthplace in their entire lives. At 900 kilometers, even carnivores rarely have such a wide range of activities. However, nine hundred kilometers is the ground distance. The road from here to the royal capital cannot be straight, so the old mage said that three days is the road time, which means the total length of this road is 900 kilometers. Of course, it may be shorter. After all, three days is a very general term. According to data, arriving there in the morning on the third day is called three days, and arriving there at midnight on the third day is also called three days. But even if it arrives at night on the third day, the distance is within 900 kilometers. And we can fly in a straight line from the sky. I believe this distance will not exceed 700 kilometers, or even only 500 or 600 kilometers.
Now our speed is falling again and again, but no matter how low it is, it will still reach a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour. In other words, even if we stop accelerating, at the current speed, it will only take more than an hour at most. The king's capital. This kind of speed is simply a miracle in the eyes of the old mage.
Because the speed was so fast, the old mage barely had time to explain to us clearly what we should pay attention to after arriving at the royal capital. Of course, a large part of the reason was that the old mage did not know that we were so fast at the beginning. He could go to the royal capital, so he wasted too much time studying the poison of flying birds.
After we informed the old mage that he had arrived in the sky over the royal capital, the old mage was shocked, not because the speed was too fast, but because
"Holy shit!" Just after we told the old mage about the location, we suddenly saw a blue beam of light rising into the sky from below, and its target was directed at the bird that the old mage and I were riding. Fortunately, flying birds are not ordinary creatures. They are known as the king of the air, and their aerial combat capabilities are unmatched by any flying creature. He easily dodged the beam of light with an emergency turn, but less than three seconds later a second beam of light flew up, and this time the target was Red Moon's mount.
"Fly out quickly, that's the magic defense system of the Royal Capital. Let's leave the Royal Capital and land first, and then go over from the ground!" the old mage reminded loudly.
After being reminded by the old mage, we finally realized our mistake. After all, this is their royal capital. Even if there is no airspace here, it would be strange if a UFO like you suddenly flew over their royal capital and they didn't attack you.
