Chapter 456 The establishment of Internet cafes(1/2)
"Is the portal to Nolan closed today?"
The eldest son of the Count, Etke, stood at the teleportation node in the center of Osenburg, and saw the magic light emitted by the teleportation node slowly dissipate.
"Yes, Lord Etke."
A spellcaster responsible for managing the teleportation node walked up to Aitek and said respectfully.
"Every time Nolan's teleportation array is opened, it will take three months to half a year to charge. The next time it is opened may be in the Moon of Falling Leaf."
“Isn’t that six months later?!”
The young eldest son had an anxious expression on his face, walking back and forth at the teleportation node like his father.
"What's wrong with Lord Aitek recently?"
The five spellcasters who manage the teleportation nodes are also retainers of the Earl of Cruz, and they also have a clear understanding of the eldest son's character.
But during this period, the eldest son of the Earl, who should have been obsessed with the Knights' Gladiator, frequently traveled between Nolan and Ossenburg through the portal.
"Have you fall in love with Nolan again?" a spellcaster asked in a low voice.
The low-pitched discussions of these spellcasters were heard clearly by Etke. He glanced at the five old magicians who were managing the nodes.
"Who do you know how to use Magic Net in Orsonburg?" Aitek asked the question he was struggling with a glimmer of hope.
"Use Magic Net?"
The discussion disappeared instantly, and the five spellcasters looked at each other, and a heartache appeared on their old faces.
"So Lord Aitke is troubled by the same thing as us?"
"You don't know either?"
Aitek looked at the embarrassing expressions of the five spellcasters, and his heart skipped a beat as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
The Earl of Osenburg sent the most powerful and wisest casters in the entire Osenburg to manage the teleportation nodes. These five casters can be said to represent Osenburg's highest attainment in magic.
This also includes the most skillful magical mechanical craftsman.
"The Magic Net is a magic form that we have never been exposed to before. We only have fifteen days to use the Magic Net, and we have not been able to solve the problem of "losing the network connection" so far." The caster said regretfully.
"Mr. Aitek! About this...I...I have a solution."
At this time, a young apprentice walked out of the bookshelf behind.
"Jesse! Lying is not a good habit!" A spellcaster scolded the apprentice who had emerged.
"Yes... it's true! Mentors, I live in the twenty-three block, and since the day before yesterday, I opened a...net..."
The apprentice tried his best to recall it and then said the name of the facility.
"Internet cafe?" This was the first time Aitek heard this strange 'word'.
"You can also call it the Magic Net Tavern, which is the place where Magic Net services can be provided," the young apprentice explained.
"It turned out to be a tavern? No matter what, where is the twenty-two block? Get on my magic car and give me the way."
Etke didn't care whether the apprentice was telling the truth or lies.
After the portal to Nolan was closed, he completely lost connection with the Magic Net. He could neither log in to the caster forum nor run to the game partition to find new games.
This bad feeling made Etec feel a sense of loneliness that was "isolated from the world" for the first time in so many years.
It takes at least three months to drive from Osenburg to Nolan, and the accidents such as attacks from monsters or sieges by robbers have not been included.
"Okay, Lord Etke." The apprentice obediently followed Etke.
…………
In the twenty-two block of Orsonburg, Aitek walked out of the magic car and looked up at the building in front of him.
"Are you sure it's here?"
The earl's eldest son sounded a little angry in his voice.
"Yes...yes, you can connect to the magic net in this Silver Pattern Floral Chamber of Commerce." The apprentice didn't know where Etke's anger came from, and he answered the count's eldest son's question with some timidity.
Everything that happened half a month ago seemed to be vivid in front of Aitek's eyes. His father ordered him not to provoke Dorothy, a girl from the Silver Pattern Floral Chamber of Commerce.
Etke had no intention of seeing Dorothy, because everything he encountered at Nolan undoubtedly completely shamed his face, and seeing Dorothy would only be ridiculed by her.
But just as the count's son was about to leave in anger, he immediately stopped after seeing the scenery inside the chamber of commerce through the transparent glass windows of the chamber of commerce.
It's the magic net!
Aitek will not admit his mistake.
The architectural style of the headquarters of the Yinwenhua Chamber of Commerce is completely different from that of half a month ago. The interior decoration alone has transformed from an ancient commercial guild to a new tavern.
The most important thing is that Aitek saw someone using the Magic Net in the tavern!
At this moment, Aitek had to bite the bullet and walk into the chamber of commerce.
"welcome!"
A maid came forward to welcome Aitek's arrival.
He ignored the maid, but opened the magic net as soon as possible and looked at the "signal display" in the lower right corner of the magic net interface.
The signal display in the lower right corner is still gray, which is the so-called "no network connection".
Are you really a scam?
"That gentleman, if you are here to use Magic Net, you need to go to the front desk to open the Magic Net connection first." The maid did not seem to recognize Aitek's identity. She began to guide the guests who came to this chamber of commerce for the first time as usual.
Do you still need to open the Magic Network connection?
Aitke followed the position where the maid pointed, and soon saw Dorothy's figure behind the front desk.
At this moment, Dorothy also looked up and saw the count's eldest son. He knew that if he retreated at this time, he would be looked down upon by this girl!
Aitek quickly walked to the front desk, and he found that there were two translucent magic web interfaces on the front desk, which looked different from the magic web he used.
One of the magic networks is occupied by dense tables, which record a lot of strange data.
"Sir, do you want to use the Magic Net?"
Of course Dorothy recognized Aitek, but she didn't care about what had happened before, and treated Aitek as an ordinary customer like a maid.
"Yes, I heard that I can connect to Nolan's 'network' here?"
Aitek glanced around him. The entire chamber of commerce had been transformed into a place like a conference court, with people sitting at dense long tables separated by partitions engraved with patterns.
Occasionally, you can see one or two young men sitting at the same long table shouting and shouting something.
Aitek was sure that the people sitting at those tables were definitely using Magic Net or the kind that could connect to the Internet, but his network signal was still gray.
"Of course, you only need to pay a certain amount of money to enable the use of the Magic Network."
"You still have to pay? You don't need it in Nolan!" Aitek said with a cold face.
"This is not Nolan, Mr. Etke."
Although Dorothy had a smile on her face, her voice gradually became slightly tougher.
"It only takes five dilure to enjoy the Magic Net usage time that is much more comfortable than in Nolan. If you think it's not worth it, you can leave."
“…”
The Earl's eldest son took out five Dilures and put them on the table. The "Dilor" is equivalent to Nolan's silver coins, which is not expensive for him, who was born in the Earl family.
"Thank you, let me see."
Dorothy's fingertips waved on the transparent magic web interface. After she clicked on a light green node, Aitek really saw the gray signal in the lower right corner turn green again! Still full!
"You can choose any location to sit down, where there are better equipment to experience Magic Net," Dorothy said.
Seeing the signal from the magic net change from gray to green again, Aitek's inner depression and anger were quickly swept away by a joyful emotion, and he didn't know where this joy came from.
After he found a remote corner in the tavern and sat down, the Earl's son saw two strange magical machinery placed on the table.
One of them looks like a virtual keyboard on Magic Net, but the keyboard placed on the desktop looks like it is made of some kind of colloidal material, and there is also a 'mouse'-like thing made of protocronite stone on the side.
Locked?
The Earl's eldest son wanted to move away the two seemingly annoying things on the table, but he found that with his own strength, he could only move within a very small range.
A special inscription magic seems to be engraved on the desktop.
Just as Etke's hand touched the two objects, a message popped up on his magic web interface.
‘If there is a new device access, is it enabled?’
New... equipment?
Aitek subconsciously clicked to confirm, and the keyboard made of unknown materials in front of him and the protocronite stones that looked like "rats" suddenly emitted a dim light.
When Etke tentatively reached out his hand and touched the protocronite stone, a pointer appeared on the table.
Is this a replacement for the touch of the hand? Aitek soon discovered that the function of the protocronite stone was to replace the touch of the hand, and even the virtual keyboard on the Magic Net became a product in reality!
This feeling of touching sounding on it! This mechanical texture quickly immersed the son of the Earl in this virtual world.
