Act 233 The first experience of the empire(1/2)

The big purchase was originally planned to start the next day at Aiyin Bullock, but in fact, since everyone had been working hard on the boat and car on the Akira for more than a month since they were self-taught Lin Yishulian, no one could get up the energy the next day - including Fang Yu-shu himself.

Finally, the plan was postponed to the third day. Everyone on Qihai Traveler took a whole day off the next day. Most of them spent the day in bed and slept beautifully all day. A few energetic guys, such as Tianlan, Paparal and the box, wandered around the hotel, touching the situation in this area thoroughly.

The old city where the Gear and Magic Book is located was actually a craftsman area, but after the craftsman area was moved to the adjacent central area, it became empty and became an old city area. Most of the people living here were workers from the fortress of the Moubis to the industrial area between them, working in steel factories or other alchemy factories.

The people who live here are considered to be the lower civilians of Aiyin Bullock. The empire system is strict, and citizens are divided into several levels to give corresponding status to the empire. Whether it is craftsmen, adventurers, alchemists, magicians, or clergy, or soldiers.

Only when the empire goes up can the title of nobles be granted, usually jazz or knight, then the twelfth-level title of the empire, and until the great duke. However, since the era of the Northern Empire of Ohni XI, few people have been promoted to the third-level count. Most of them are promoted within the nobles, and the title inheritance and re-election, and very few civilians have reached the sky in one step.

Fang Yu first reported safety to his uncle Tang Sheng and his aunt, saying that he had arrived in the empire successfully. Now the two have returned to the earth, but he is no longer a smuggler and can communicate between the two worlds through official channels.

Ms. Zhang Rou asked him to remember the reply to Tang Xin's letter. Although Tang Xin and Ai Xiaoxiao have returned to school, Fang Ling knew very well that her cousin would be told by her. If she asked her uncle and aunt to tell her on her behalf, she would probably be scolded, so she hurriedly responded.

Then he replied to the letter from his supervisor, and the other party only asked about the situation of the paper and when he planned to return to Earth.

Finally, there was Miss Scape, but there was still no news over there, which made him very worried.

Fang Rong wanted to ask Su Changfeng to ask for the news again, but after dialing, there was a busy voice over there and no one answered. In the end, some military personnel came to tell him that the other party had gone to Aitalia.

It is said that the incident in the northern border has been very serious.

It can be foreseen that Xingmen Port will be busy dealing with the matter of the Super Athletic Alliance for a long time in the future. Fang Rong actually didn't know many people at Xingmen Port, and there was also an Ambassador Liao, but it was difficult to use his own private matters to bother others, so he had to give up.

In addition to Fang Zhu, Miss May also seems to be busy with her own affairs.

Unlike others, this Knight Miss is a very strict person. The next day he made a full schedule and first visited the Temple of Oli, then communicated with the Knights of Ayinblock, and after completing the official duties of the Knights, he went to the Adventurer Guild to investigate the information he needed.

She left the house early in the morning and was busy until around 3pm before returning to the hotel. Fang Zhu told her not to forget the group activities tomorrow, and the Miss Knight also agreed with a stern promise. "I know," she replied, "Mr. Ed."

"This is not a requirement," Fang Yu scratched his head, not knowing how to say it. The way the knight lady spoke was sometimes confusing, "It's just that now you are here, and everyone thinks you are a member of the ship."

May looked a little happy when he heard this. He looked at him and nodded seriously, and responded again: "Well, May knows."

It is said that her identity on the ship is a bit special. Mei is not a member of the Seven Seas Brigade. She just came to Oshu at the request of the Knights to investigate the damage to the treasure of Sanshak, and will act with them for the time being.

But she stayed on the boat for several months, fought side by side with everyone in Kailano, and had feelings for everyone. In addition, she did not ask for a leave, and everyone subconsciously regarded the Miss Knight as a member of the boat.

Even the Paparals, who were a little afraid of her at first, now occasionally say hello to May - of course, he was always so carefree.

This made Fang Yu a little confused. He called Parker out more than once, and told him to be careful. Don't wander around in front of Miss Mayi if you have nothing to do, after all, Sangshak's affairs have not been settled.

However, after hearing his words, the Paparals showed a very strange look. They looked at him wanting to speak but stopped, as if they wanted to say something but didn't know how to speak. Fang Yu saw the other party's strange look, and couldn't help asking:

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing," the Paparal shook his head like a rattle, but thought about it and asked carefully, "Will I be driven off the boat if I didn't tell the truth?"

"Of course not," Fang Rong felt that there was something wrong with this guy's mind, "If this happens, you have been driven off the ship a hundred times. Of course, if you harm everyone's interests for your own selfishness, I will not show mercy no matter what."

Parker breathed a sigh of relief. "Of course not. I am the famous nightingale of Sanshak. How could I do such shameful things?"

"Shut up, don't mention Sanshak, remember!"

After this little episode, everyone on the Qihai Traveler's account gathered on time on the morning of the third day.

Luo Yu, Jita, Tianlan, plus Alisa, Box, Parker, Luo Hao, Bakins, Shesta, Big Cat Man, Aitela and Miss Mayi, and finally Fang Zhu and the ship's officer standing beside him, plus Miss Tata who sat on his shoulders and couldn't see anyone else. In addition to Ai Xiaoxiao, Tang Xin, who had temporarily left, and Miss Mayi were not considered members of the Seven Seas Brigade.

Here are all fifteen main members of the Qihai Brigade.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! For an adventure group with its own sailboat and starting to travel over the sea, this number is not large, but it also has a starting framework. In addition to the forest of the second group, Pasha, Ms. Kuisu and others, the Qihai Brigade also has a formal team.

This is a rare group activity since its establishment. Miss Nightingale was intrigued and suggested that everyone take a photo here as a souvenir. Others also thought this idea was great, so everyone gathered together to leave a picture at the door of "Gears and Magic Book".

The photo was taken by Fang Yu's Clockwork Fairy. It was uploaded to the private community of Qihai Budou, and then found a way to copy it through this world. Except for Tianlan, who put a funny posture on it, everyone else seemed very serious.

Then the group rushed towards the city.

Aiyin Brock is a very strange place.

This is the capital of steel, and it is also a magic city with many alchemist houses and a thick smoke from the steel mill. The magic technology, material wealth, talents and ideas of the entire continent and all Aitalia are gathered here.

For ordinary people, this place is like a huge, complex maze, steel derivation frames that run across the city sky, magic pipelines, towering magic furnace cores, factories, chimneys and mobile fortress ‘Mobius’ monsters, like a distance.

But there is also a strong atmosphere of life. Newsstands can be seen everywhere in the corners of the lane, the transmission crystal nodes set by alchemists on the metal base, and the huge magic light system, and the railroad magic car made melodious sounds.

It's old here-

Aiyin Block's airport was built two centuries ago. The steel towers supported by countless derivation structures in the city were rusted everywhere. The Alchemist Association spent a lot of manpower and funds every year to maintain it.

But this is also the airport with the largest throughput on the continent. The Imperial Air Control Bureau has set up fourteen waterways up and down the inner city, and the complex shipping system is divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. From any direction of the city, you can see such a wonder:

The crisscrossing ships in the sky are flowing continuously, slowly moving forward, gathering towards the giant tower in the center, or leaving from there.

But trendy—

Commercial elements can be seen everywhere, with banners and huge metal billboards on the airships in the sky, mostly some popular magic products on them. There are both for nobles, adventurers, civilians, and even for the reading of imperial provisions and the temple to encourage people to be good.

Fang Ling even saw stills from the troupe's performance, a huge banner painting the knights saving the fallen kingdom and the princess.

An old story.

Different.

The streets were filled with groups of alchemists, magicians, adventurers in coats, and large numbers of candidates mixed with the natives. These people seemed to have long been used to the life of Ayin Brock, and were waiting for the magic cart in the railroad cart while they were discussing the news that happened now-

Those topics include some novel alchemy product, a newly promoted guild, gossip news about big names, or a war in the empire.

Yes, the empire is always in war, either externally or internally. Over time, it is not surprising that people are.

"Mr. Ed, what is that?" May asked with a stern look at the steel gantry that ran across the sky. Miss Knight is a very interesting person. Sometimes she looks old-fashioned, but innocent. She doesn't hide anything in her heart and will say it directly.

She doesn't pretend to understand things she doesn't understand, but will ask questions. But she often goes to the bottom of the matter and often offends people because of it. Fortunately, everyone has long been used to the way she speaks, and understands that Miss Knight is sincere in her heart, and is not really directed at anyone.

"That's Ayin Brock's rail transit system," Fang Yu thought for a while and added, "It's not a rail magic car, but a part of the city's defense system. The alchemists get inspiration from the mobile fortress "Mobius" and derive this system from its defense mechanism, and then extend it to the entire city.

In normal times, this system can be used to dispatch goods and bulk materials, and in wartime it is converted into a conveying platform for giant magic weapons. Some giant combat structures, war fortresses on ‘Mobius’ and magic turrets can all be used to realize position arrangements.”

The magic pipelines crisscrossing over the city are the energy supply network of this system.

Everyone imagined that scene and felt a little shocked.

However, although the empire is in a state of war anytime and anywhere, no one really wants to see the war happen before his eyes, especially this is the hinterland of the empire.

Fang Ling himself is also full of novelty about this Oshu people's empire. There are so many differences here from Kaolin-Ishurien. The Kaolin Kingdom is like a country where life is leisurely. Although there are big cities like Elpaxin, it is simple and natural, and has a kind of fairy tale and fantasy beauty.

The empire is like a fiercely competitive big city, with crisscrossing steel beams, magical pipelines densely covered with networks, thick smoke covering the sky and the violently changing thoughts, all pushing this ancient and new country to the forefront of this era.

While everyone was talking, they entered a more prosperous commercial area.

Before leaving, Mr. Pusher actually found a guide for them. It was Leila, who everyone had met two days ago. Today is the middle of the month (Oshuren takes one day off every twelve days), and she happened to be able to come out to do a odd job when she was free.

Pushe introduced her to this job, and Leila was actually a little resistant at the beginning. After all, the identity of a high-level alchemist made her instinctively feel a little scared.

But the former was very tempted and told her that Fang Zhu and his group were easy to get along with, and that the price was negotiated between the two sides, which was a reward that Leila could not refuse. In addition, she was also a little curious about Fang Zhu and his group, so she finally reluctantly responded.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! She arrived earlier than everyone today and stood alone in the hall. Fang Zhu noticed that the girl was wearing a magician robe that was newer than that day, and took care of herself neatly and meticulously, but still seemed cramped. She pushed her glasses with her hands from time to time.

But thinking about the worn-out traces on the glasses frame, Laila subconsciously covered the place with her hands, and she seemed a little helpless for a moment.

Fortunately, Miss Nightingale was good at dealing with people. She asked the other party a few questions about Aiyin Bullock's customs before eased the atmosphere.

Pushe also told Fang Zhu.

Tell them not to give in because they are pitiful to each other. The price agreed upon between the two sides is basically within a reasonable range of one day guide.

Fang Yu was not the boy who knew nothing before. He could roughly guess why, so he nodded and agreed.

After getting along for a while, Laila finally relaxed a lot, but she still seemed stiff and followed everyone. When Alissa, or Silmide, or others asked something, she described and supplemented it to the best of her ability.

Occasionally, the girl would take the initiative to mention something to them, if she remembered it, or thought that the other party's pilogue and his group helped. It can be seen that the girl was hoping to be worthy of her salary in the best of her ability.

Her views on this city were as familiar to those college students living at the bottom, but she didn't know much in-depth. But she was far beyond ordinary people.

Leila told them that Ayin Brock's life was actually quite closed. People living in the old city may not have been to the central or temple districts adjacent to the two districts in their entire lives, let alone the aristocratic district.

They work and live where they live, day after day, and the farthest place they go, probably the Artisan District. A few people may have been to the alchemy area where the "Mobius" mobile fortress is located.

For example, Uncle Mattry in the hotel, he goes to the coal-producing area more than 100 miles away every year to discuss and purchase matters about hotel use in the next year. He is already a very knowledgeable person in this area.

Of course, they are not as good as the owner of the "Gears and Magic Book". After all, Mr. Pushey has traveled to the Kūkai and visited many places, and is a very famous figure in the old city.

Laila's description surprised everyone else. In everyone's impression, the empire was advanced, strong and enlightened, and the country of the Mystic people was like the brightest chapters depicted in the legendary story.

Even though the Oshu Empire had an old gap with Kaurin-Ishurien, the war thirty years ago did not have a personal experience for this generation of candidates, and most people were even willing to look at the Oshu Empire separately from the Oshu Empire.

While talking, after everyone entered the prosperous central area, the changing environment around made the girl obviously become more restrained.

She looked around a little uneasy, then looked away and lowered her head.

She is a student of the Magic Academy and is more free than others. But she is also a poor student and she would never come to such a place on weekdays. This beautiful and glamorous world is like being incompatible with the old magician robe on her.

Leila even felt many strange eyes falling on her. People commented on her, wondering why such a poor college student came here?

"I knew I shouldn't have agreed to Mr. Pusher. I should have insisted on it, but I have become irrational for the sake of money." Leila thought to herself, feeling a little regretful, and for the sake of the extra reward, she was obsessed with it.

She fumbled into the glasses frame in a panic, trying to cover up her panic, but she didn't even notice that she just touched the tip of her nose with her hands.

Silweid seemed to have noticed something keenly and quietly looked back at the little girl. She couldn't help but remember how similar she was to the other party when she was most isolated and helpless. She smiled slightly and said:

"Miss Leila?"

"ah?"

“Is there any place that is uncomfortable?”
