Chapter 90: Heading North (2)

After listening to Franner's explanation, Ryan and Alendor nodded together, the person who can come up with this idea is really a genius.Franna seems to have guessed Ryan and Allendo's thoughts, he smiled, with a complicated expression on his face, and after a pause for a few seconds, his face turned into a look of indifference that saw through everything. Franner looked at the blue sea and said leisurely, "The person who came up with this idea is indeed a genius." ”

Ryan and Allendo looked at each other, they saw the answer in each other's eyes, and the two said in unison, "Chilawiv!"

"That's right, it's this legendary genius, his cargo ships transported goods three times faster than others back then, and it was this whole system that he relied on, but now he allows other chambers of commerce to use these things, and of course a certain amount of gold coins is essential. ”

Lille, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke: "Actually, when we go to Thor Fortress this time, the most important thing is to maintain and repair this kind of facility. ”

Lille's words obviously surprised the three of Ryan, and Ryan couldn't help but ask Lille, "Is it necessary to build such a high steel support in Thor's Fortress? That's a huge project." ”

Without waiting for Lille to speak, York rushed to explain: "No, it doesn't need to be that huge. On the battlefield, a giant stone throwing cart can throw a 10,000-kilogram boulder several kilometers away, which is a devastating blow to the enemy's engineering equipment or the phalanx preparing to attack the city, but it is very difficult to carry the rock, and if it is purely manpower, it can only be fired once in about 30 minutes. Now we have brought three sets of such equipment, of course, on a smaller scale, probably to lift up to 5,000 kilograms of rocks, anyway, it is difficult to get too big rocks in the northern steppe. ”

Ryan and the other three were silent, it was obvious that they thought of a boulder with a radius of dozens of meters falling from the sky, even if the enemy in the attacked area found out, I am afraid that they would not be able to escape, and they would definitely be smashed into meat sauce. And if it is used to siege the city, the effect will be better, choose the largest piece, and smash it directly on the city wall, the slightly worse city wall will not be able to bear it at all, and it will definitely be destroyed directly.

"Ah, doesn't that mean that an army with such a terrible weapon can conquer any city?

"Of course there is!" replied Lille and York in unison, saying this, and the two looked at each other, and suddenly found that they had quarreled all their lives, and that the two of them actually had the same idea and did the same thing today. Lille gave in and motioned for York to explain, and the latter suddenly felt some warmth in his heart, he cleared his throat, and at the same time suppressed some moist eyes, and explained to Flanner: "This machine is indeed very lethal, but it is too bulky, and more importantly, although it can fire a distance of several kilometers, it is not beyond the range of the magician's attack. ”

Franner asked, "How many kilometers, can a magician's magic be launched that far?"

York smiled and replied, "Of course normal magic is not good, but there are some magicians who can unleash more powerful magic, which we usually call - forbidden spells!"

Lille interjected: "This has happened more than a dozen times in recorded history, mainly in the Hundred Years of Catastrophe, when magicians lost their restraints and went further and further on the path of power, but it is undeniable that there are magicians who have gained greater power. Forbidden spells are originally forbidden spells, and each forbidden spell can affect a distance of about ten kilometers, in other words, even if you find that the opponent's magician is casting a spell, if the strength difference is too far, it is basically impossible to run out of the range of the forbidden spell. ”

York continued on Lille's topic: "A forbidden spell can easily destroy a city, and this kind of thing has not happened in a hundred years. Some cities are so well defended that tens of thousands of kilograms of boulders can't smash open their gates, but a single fire forbidden spell can burn half a city. ”

Lille said: "Later, the Magic Guild made it clear that if a magician used a forbidden spell, he would become the public enemy of all other magicians, and the number of magicians who could use forbidden spells gradually decreased in the opponent's attacks and assassinations. As a result, by now, the forbidden spell basically just has a name, and there is no spell at all, let alone who has such a huge amount of energy to release it. ”

After listening to Lille and York's story about the history of forbidden spells, and looking at the machinery and porters in motion, half a day passed before I knew it. Everyone returned to their lodgings and enjoyed a hearty dinner.

In the afternoon, Lille and York almost used the means of pulling to bring Ryan to the magic guild of Seabreeze City. Because Lille and York really can't get used to Ryan's outfit, as a magician, even if it's just an apprentice, he should wear a mage's robes, but Ryan doesn't seem to care about his status as a mage, and often wears an ordinary linen adventurer's outfit. This kind of clothing is only worn by the most ordinary adventurers, and even the stronger mercenaries wear better clothes to reflect their identity.

Ryan didn't want to come, he didn't care too much about these in his heart, but in Lille's words: "Even if this identity is not a true embodiment of your strength, but as a magician's status symbol, you still have to have robes and badges, you can't always wear that linen adventurer's costume, right?

The Magic Guild in Seabreeze City is not very large, but it is only a three-story magic tower with a dome. According to Lille, most of the magicians here are stationed in the docklands to repair the steel brackets in the docklands, as some of them use magic circles. There are also some magicians stationed directly in the temporary palace of the Fernando royal family in Seabreeze City, they have the title of royal magician, and they do not accept the dispatch of the magic guild at all, so there is no need to make it too big here, there are a few laboratories, lounges, and a library. The first floor of the three-story magic tower is the reception hall, the second floor is the lounge, the third floor is the laboratory, and the dome building is the library.

Lil and York were obviously familiar with this place, and York said that the parts of the equipment in the docklands that belonged to magical items were actually the products of the magic hand, and if there was a big problem with those things, they didn't come to repair them, so they were naturally familiar with the magicians here.

Jokla walked Ryan into the Tower of Magic, greeted the only magician who was left behind, and then received two sets of magic robes for Ryan's magic apprentices. And Lille couldn't help but say, almost with a strong help Ryan change into a set of magic apprentice robes, and then urged Ryan to wear his fire and arcane magic apprentice badges.

The magicians who stayed behind in the Magic Guild obviously didn't expect that the two high-ranking magicians, Lille and York, would personally dress a magic apprentice, and that magic apprentice was actually dual-lineed, which is really rare. He really didn't figure it out, he was just a magic apprentice, why would the two masters of Lille and York be so polite to a magic apprentice.

Lille and York had apparently not been here for a while, and they had a few conversations with the magician who had been left behind, but it turned out that they didn't know who had brought the topic to the making of magic items, and the three magicians ran to the magic laboratory on the third floor with great interest. Ryan waited boredly for a while, but seeing their energetic appearance, it was estimated that it would be impossible to stop in a short time, and there was nothing to do anyway, so it was better to wait for them to be here. Although they probably didn't listen either, Ryan still said a few words and left the place.

Walking through the streets of Seabreeze City, Ryan suddenly felt that he was very leisurely, he rarely had time to go shopping, the most recent time was probably the time when he accompanied Faraz in the imperial capital. Thinking about it, I haven't seen Faraz for a long time, and I still think about her in my heart, and I don't know how they are doing in the imperial capital.

"Give me some spirits!" A familiar man's voice sounded behind him, "Hurry up, hurry up." Your speed is so slow that you have only run twice around the wall. Boys, if you don't finish ten laps today, sleep me hungry. ”

Ryan turned his head and saw a large group of young people lined up in two neat rows, running in his direction, and the person who led the team was very familiar to him, it was none other than the warrior Oz who was adventuring with Lace's team. Oz yelled at the group of young **s, turned his head and saw Ryan.

The comrades-in-arms of the former Lace Squad met again in Seabreeze City today.

"Ryan!"

"Oz!"

The two walked together in a few steps and gave each other a warm hug.

"Huh. Oz grinned, "Ryan, it's so nice to see you." Are you all here? Or are you alone?"

"It's just me and Elendo, Fani and they are still in the imperial capital. But with Alendo, there's a new friend of mine. ”

"Great, Alendor is here. Oz looked around, but couldn't find Allendo's shadow, so he asked Ryan, "Where are they?"

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet them. Oh yes. Ryan paused, then pointed behind Oz and said, "Are you convenient now?"
