Chapter 41 Yulia
The Winged Humans, a strange race, is recognized as one of the strangest races in Pavatiga, and is also recognized as the least engaged in business.
A four hundred years of life is not too long. Logically speaking, every individual should have a sense of urgency that life is short. Although it is not as busy as humans, it should not waste time like elves and dragons.
However, they like to waste time than elves. Almost every individual likes to devote their limited life to infinite enjoyment.
In the eyes of these strange and casual creatures, performing unchanged mechanical work is simply the most terrifying torture. For them, the routine maintenance of floating cities is already the limit of patience. For three hours, they are boring and boring, day after day, which is really terrible, but there is no way, they can only endure it for everyone's home.
Only novel things and fresh environments can attract their interest. Compared with mechanical work, flexible and changeable life is more suitable for them. Uncover secrets and explore the unknown. Even if they give sweat, blood or even die, they will enjoy it.
The job they want to face fresh things every day is what they want. Adventure by shadow and explore the secret realm is the job that everyone yearns for the most. Traveling around the world and doing business everywhere. This kind of job is also very good. If it really doesn't work, it's okay to open a small shop in a city and be responsible for the reception. Facing different faces every day can at least satisfy their freshness.
It is precisely because of this that the wings would rather take risks than run these shops in the towns under the city, and have the opportunity to observe travelers coming and going, or watch, or listen, and share new stories on their journey, satisfying the wings' natural curiosity and desire for freshness.
Mercenaries who often pass by know that even if they run a store, these casual and reckless wingers don’t have much patience. In a few days, the store operators will change a group. The old operators have gone to other places to play since when, and a certain store is closed. In a short time, new operators will happily occupy the empty house and reopen.
Many sociologists secretly analyzed that the Winged Humans have never been able to dominate the world, and that they began to decline in the chaotic era, because they were implicated by their casual personality. If they could get rid of the troubles of their personality, with the talent and wisdom of the Winged Humans, coupled with their physiological characteristics, their racial success would be far higher than they are now.
However, the Winged Humans themselves scoffed at similar analyses. We are very happy, unrestrained, carefree, and enjoy the joy of life. If we lose these, can we still be considered free Winged Humans? Racial achievements? Don’t you feel tired? For serious matters, whoever you like to care about is just go, we just need to live a happy life.
Even if we have another World War, we will retreat into the deserted wilderness like the end of the Chaos Chronicle. No matter how powerful you are, the control rate of all races on the land of Pavatiga is not more than half. Do you think we will worry?
Most races cannot understand, but they cannot refute that the cultural differences between races are too great to reach an agreement.
However, scholars are at least right. With the talent of the Winged Humans, if they continue to develop in a certain field, they can often achieve considerable achievements.
Yulia is one of these examples.
A well-known master of magic, the proposer and leader of the third magic colossus improvement plan, and the researcher of altitude work terrain detector (eventually failed). She has countless halos in the field of magic and has gained countless reputations.
The family power behind her is even more powerful. The Jill Celes family, one of the branches of the ancient Jill family of the Winged Humans, has been passed down for more than a thousand years. The Sales family has lived in the Capital of Brilliant for generations, secretly controlling surrounding commercial activities, thus accumulating a large amount of wealth and plays an important role in Brilliant.
Yulia is the contemporary patriarch of the Gilceles family. One hundred and twenty years ago, she went against the opposition as soon as she took office, and used the wealth accumulated by the family for generations to start building the latest research result of magical science - aerobatics.
The construction of aerobatics was not as easy as imagined, especially one hundred and twenty years ago, when the result was only on paper and never finished products appeared. It was the Gilceles family who turned theory into reality.
Because they have money.
To build a floating boat, it requires countless precious resources, a lot of manpower and material support, and countless failed attempts. However, although there are constant oppositions within the family, Yulia still persisted and took out the world's first floating boat finished product ninety years ago. The academic community of magic science was in an uproar. It is hard to imagine that a scholar-type woman had such strong execution ability.
Because they have money.
From then on, the floating boats became a symbol of the brilliant capital, and there were not even other winged humans floating cities, let alone other races. When it comes to airboats, people will instinctively think of the brilliant capital and the Gilceles family. Of course, since the floating boats were only paper theory at that time, the design ideas themselves were flawed and not very practical, and could not bring financial returns. But for the Gilceles family, the gains in reputation were enough to make up for the funding gap. Some elders of the family admitted that even spending twice the amount of money was worth it, which shows that the family did not care about this huge financial loss.
Because they are very rich.
"You have such great resentment towards this sentence." Even Yulia's scheming could not stand Shur's grievances and protested with amusement. "When you introduce your baby sister, can't you praise me well? In less than two minutes, you have said this sentence three times."
"Get away with five hundred gold coins." Xiu'er gritted his teeth. He had never cheated others. Two years ago, he was so proud that he agreed to treat her to a meal. In the end, she cheated her out of five hundred gold coins. The most hateful thing is that this guy looked at him as if he had only had a simple meal.
Well, it seems that for her, maybe it was just a very ordinary meal, at least in terms of the standard of banqueting. The problem is that it is different for Shuer. At that time, he had no private savings and the funds of the temple had already bottomed out. Five hundred gold coins could be considered a damn injury, which made him have to let everyone chew dry bread for ten days before barely turning the funds on.
"Yeah, go away with dry bread." Lord Lisa also nodded frequently. Lord Lisa can remember this for the rest of her life.
"Hahaha, OK, OK, it's just a little joke backing at the beginning. I can't blame me. Who knew you had the temple of the true god as your backing, but you even cared about this little money. Speaking of which, you are really poor... Oh, the little guy glared at me again, okay, I'm wrong, as an apology, can I treat you to a simple meal today? "
Small money? Don’t joke. In the world of ordinary people, for five hundred gold coins, a tableware that father and son will rebel against each other may be staged. Even in the eyes of the nobles, five hundred gold coins will be a few months of profit. For example, Dark’s Dark Mercenary Group, ten people worked hard for ten days in this mission, which is only a few hundred gold coins. Including expenses and labor, it would be great to have a profit of two hundred gold coins. A small amount of five hundred gold coins? Only a thousand-year-old family like Gilceles has the confidence to speak like this.
However, this is not the point, the point is...
"It's also a simple meal for five hundred gold coins?" Shuer instantly threw the hatred aside, "Can you discount it?"
"Where is your face?"
"I sold it after spending five hundred gold coins."
"Hide away, the smell of poverty makes me breathless."
While the noisy jokes were being joking, a group of people, led by Yulia, entered the ground office of the Floating City.
According to regulations, if you want to enter the floating city, you need to undergo strict review. There is no sufficient reason and you are not allowed to enter. However, entering the city was originally Shuer's plan, so he also has sufficient reasons.
As a mission of the Dark Moon Temple, the mission was officially invited by the Temple of Water through the official release of the Lion City to participate in the Water Curtain Festival ceremony as a VIP. This identity is enough for the Temple of Water or the Emerald Empire to bear the cost, so that the mission will take the airplane and complete the last three days in the safest way. If you take the airplane, you must enter the Brilliant Capital.
Very sufficient reason, but unfortunately I can't use it at all.
At this time, we can see that the Gilceles family was in the brilliant capital. He led a group of people into the office. Yulia just nodded to the Winged Man staff and didn't even say anything. As a result, the Winged Man people seemed to have seen nothing, allowing everyone to pass through them and directly into the backyard of the office. Not only people, but also two carriages and nine Wind Beasts entered the backyard through the side door, unobstructed.
The backyard of the office is very spacious, with vehicles and goods storage on one side. After all, it is very inconsistent to take a cart to the floating city. If you don’t want to be kicked off the floating city by the winged man, it’s better to give up this idea. Therefore, most people choose to store the baggage in the office. Anyway, there is no need to worry about safety, it’s just a little storage fee.
Abandoning the carriage was relaxed, especially the two children, who had escaped the shackles of the carriage and wanted to run wildly. Unfortunately, the evil-like bad priest glared at him, and the two little guys became depressed and hid behind Talinna in grievance. As for Linda and McCree, the little nobles who came out of the small city had never seen such a strange scene. They have not yet recovered from the shock of the floating city. They probably don't even know what they were doing.
In the middle of the backyard is a huge circular platform, which is enough for dozens of people to stand on it. Yulia took everyone onto the platform and nodded to the four operators around. Then a light curtain rose from the edge of the platform, obscuring the passenger's vision and blocking the cold wind from the outside.
