Chapter 939: Scheming Nobles
"This ...... What's this building?"
Seeing that many people were joining in the fun, Garriott also followed, stood on tiptoe and looked inside, then asked a puzzled onlooker next to him.
The onlooker rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment, "It seems to be called...... Charging stations?"
"What......" Garriot opened his mouth and blinked, "What do you mean by a 'charging station'?"
The onlookers rolled their eyes, "You ask me, who do I ask?" Now we only know that this place will be called a 'charging station' after it is built, and we don't know anything else!"
Garriot turned his puzzled gaze back to the construction site not far away, which had been enclosed by a steel fence, and they could only stand near the gate and look inside, except for the sound of construction.
However, they didn't look long because they felt that it was dangerous, and it wasn't long before the site management came and drove them away and closed the gates.
Garriot dispersed with the crowd, but as he walked back to the hotel, he kept thinking about what the 'charging station' meant.
As a businessman, and a merchant of a business alliance, he once visited the factory area of Wende City and understood that many production machines now need to use the new energy source of 'electricity', but no matter what kind of machinery, if it needs to use electricity, a direct connection to the line is sufficient.
He travels a lot between Winde City and other cities, occasionally overhears mages talking to them who go to buy magazines while registering at the Fortune Chapel, and luckily he's heard some mages talking about things like 'energy storage' circles.
At that time, he didn't know what it was, the knowledge related to magic was too far away from him, he hadn't been exposed to much magic-related things since he was a child, and it was only after the 'magic innovation' on the mainland that he came into contact with some things by chance.
Later, I heard others say that the 'energy storage' circle is something engraved on the magic item, used to store energy, just like whatever you use needs energy, plus this thing, maybe the magic props that can only be used two or three times a day can be used five or six times a day.
Gariot was also a little ignorant, he didn't understand these things very well, but according to the wild mage who explained these things to him, the 'energy storage' circle was to store energy, no matter what form of energy it was, such as 'magic', 'electricity', or even 'heat'.
So, if the 'energy storage' circle can store energy, can it use the existing technology to create some magic items that even ordinary people can use?
He clearly remembered that this was what he had asked the wild mage in the first place, and the wild mage, after thinking for a moment, replied like this:
"This idea of yours is very novel, and to be honest, perhaps you should also know that the head maid of the Duchy of Sorrow has been working hard to do these things, and if nothing else, she should invent some magic items that even ordinary people can use in the future...... Just like the 'magic machine' you mentioned to me, as long as there is a reasonable design, even ordinary people can use the power of magic to manipulate huge machines with the push of a button, and produce them day and night. Machines don't know how to get tired, and although the workers get tired, they are now able to use the 'small amount of fatigue' to produce a lot of money compared to the past, and this is the beginning of a change - in my opinion, your idea is not a fantasy, but a future that is really possible!"
Yes, not 'whimsical', this future has already arrived, and sooner than he imagined.
After returning to the inn, Garriot ordered a bowl of rice and two dishes, and looking at the combination of meat and vegetables in front of him, he suddenly remembered the past, and thought of countries other than the Principality of Sadness.
The place where he was now was the most ordinary inn, and there were not hundreds of similar inns in Wende City, but at least a dozen.
However, he just ordered an ordinary set meal, but there was a meat and a vegetarian meal, as well as a bowl of rice......
This made him react immediately, as if the life of the people of this city and this principality had been improving since the appearance of the chief maid, and she was different from almost all nobles, and had a benevolent heart that could consider the common people, even the once glorious sages and nobles could hardly match.
Unlike the Principality of Sorrowful Wind, which is full of 'infrastructure', it is probably only owned by the Ogordon Empire on another continent, and the rest of the countries are a little dull and seem to be unable to develop.
Even the 'charging station' that is being built now, if he guessed correctly, the construction of this charging station must be related to the 'energy storage' circle, and perhaps some new magic energy machinery that has not been announced.
Otherwise, the 'charging station' would not have been built in the new city.
Thinking of this, Gariott clenched the spoon in his hand, maybe this was an opportunity for him?
For a businessman, information that no one else knows is a commodity in itself, maybe he should try some, even if he doesn't get the opportunity in the end, but he can also use this information in exchange for the favor of a big businessman.
Go after eating!

"There is really no shortage of smart people in this world......"
Cervantes looked up and saw Latinia come straight up and sit down beside him, and carry Joanna from his arms.
Glancing at her, the black dragon opened his mouth and asked, "Did something happen?" ”
Latinia's face sank, and she couldn't help but kick the black dragon, "Who is laughing disgustingly?
As soon as the corners of Cervantes' mouth opened, he saw Joanna's big innocent eyes, and the mouth that had just opened closed again, and he sighed, "What happened?"
Seeing his appearance of daring to be angry and unspeakable, Latinia was happy, hugging her daughter and rubbing it again and again, "Good daughter, good daughter, it's still hello, you know how to ...... to your mother"
Looking at her depressedly for a long time, Cervantes pursed his lips and looked up at the maid sitting behind his desk to handle affairs.
Probably noticing his gaze, the maid happened to put down her pen and stretched.
After stretching, the maid propped up her chin with one hand and sighed helplessly: "Say, Latinia, what do you want to do?"
"Or Sera, you know me!" Latinia turned to smile brightly as she heard the maid speak.
Putting the ignorant Joanna back into the arms of the black dragon, ignoring Joanna's little face that gradually became angry, Latinia said to herself: "The situation is like this, just now a believer came to ask some questions, related to the 'charging station' that is being built, so I went to take a look, but I didn't expect that the believer actually wanted to take over this 'business'." It wasn't a lot of ideas, but it was a little too far ahead, so I let the priesthood reject him and explain something......"
"So what?" the maid pursed the corners of her mouth slightly, watching Joanna's tail hanging behind her flick wildly, and even Cervantes couldn't calm down.
"So I'm wondering if I should promote the 'Magic Locomotive' among the aristocracy?" said Latinia with a grin.
This does not contradict the plan they have in mind to deal with the aristocratic class, and they can even take this opportunity to make another sum of money from the nobility, and after that, it will also make the struggle of the commoner class against the aristocratic class more favorable.
They wanted to stir up the discontent of the plebeian class against the aristocracy, but the majority of merchants were not necessarily on the side of the plebeian class, and if they took this opportunity to give the merchants hope, perhaps they would be more inclined to the plebeian class.
Even though it's just a small arrangement, it's better than nothing......
"That's a good idea!" the maid laughed, "maybe we can get those nobles to 'order', that is, wait until the goods are produced before shipping, but who knows what the production cycle of a magic locomotive is?"
