Chapter 7.18 Wonders, Stratagems, Technology(1/2)

 Things like airships are the most spectacular miracles in the eyes of agricultural civilization people who have just entered the industrial age.

Its nearly 100 meters long, metallic shell looks like a huge statue totem flying in the air. Oh, yes, Mr. Wei likes to paint shark heads on the front of the airship.

In this world, airships are easy to make. Thermal runes and wind magic runes can quickly change the temperature of the gas in the airbag, thereby controlling the expansion and contraction of the volume in the airship. Hydrogen airbags account for 7%

10 proportions, but it is divided into multiple internal air bags that are separated from each other. The outer cabin is a mixture of water vapor and nitrogen. This is the technology of airships in the goblin period, and is of course larger than the goblin technology.

As for the outer shell, it is also famous for its rough skin and thick flesh, and is covered with a layer of steel mesh and special isinglass. In the Middle Ages, those aerial units such as gargoyles would have to lose an average of seven or eight teeth if they wanted to bite a ship.

to cause damage.

Carrette sat on the airship, holding the large disc rudder with one hand and looking at various air pressure instruments.

On the ground, it was the knights who were driving for Lord Wei Keng, but in the air it was the other way around. In the passenger cabin behind Carret, the group of young knights couldn't bear the loneliness and started to make a fuss.

Carret could only turn on the communicator and remind them: "It's okay to quarrel. Please remove all the guns and bullets from your body to prevent them from misfiring."

After a scolding, the boys were finally silenced.

This group of young knights who grew up in the Ruite Territory are wearing very light titanium and aluminum armor. They are similar to the configuration of the infantry in the asteroid landing battle in the Aerial Twist Plane. They wear helmets, but there is no face shield, only a glass cover.

Block. They have swords on them, but more often than not, they have a twenty-shot rapid-fire pistol on their waist.

Oh, my enemy, knights ride horses in other places, but as for them, the headquarters has prepared twenty-five steam motorcycles for them. Medieval version of the will-o'-the-wisp boy.

Letting these boys act as his bodyguards, Carrette often didn't want to go out, or in other words, he tried to avoid these boys when he went out.

The airship quickly arrived over Xiange Town.

After arriving at the airport in the northwest corner,

The cooling magic was activated, and the wrinkles of the airship began to evenly dent inward. The plump airship descended quickly and smoothly like a star fruit.

When the shadow of the airship passed across the buildings in the city, Karit also released his exclusive music at the right time: "Jin Jia La~ Give it to him~"

With a clang, the door of the cabin where the airship's ejected landing gear was in contact with the ground also opened, and Carrette slid down the slide. Flying Wings and the like, due to the current need to adjust the body's perception, there are not so many opportunistic tricks for the time being.

~

He rushed back to Xiange Town to meet the special envoy sent by the royal capital.

In the town of Xiange, in the house where Wei Keng stayed, Luo Shan was sitting by the bed, looking at the airship braking at an angle at the airport in the distance.

The north is a happy place. There are always many novel items popping up. Of course, these novel items are accessible to ordinary people. Unlike the new things emerging in the commercial cities of the south, there can only be reached by spending enough money.

The more gold coins you have, the more wonderful things you can see.

~

Four minutes later, Carrette shook off the group of riders looking for motorcycles and flashed directly to the place that was originally a manor and is now a guest house for the nobles.

Of course, as soon as they arrived at the scene, they met the knights from the royal capital. The knights were a little wary, and after confirming that it was Karet in front of them, they immediately saluted.

Wei Keng soon met the cousin. Well, it should be his cousin. She was two years older than him.

When she came to the table and faced this upright princess of the royal family, Carrette was worthy of her words.

Without looking at her much, Wei Keng took out a record book and asked in a business-like manner, what did Wangdu want this time. Potions, rune weapons, or machinery, all of which can be given, provided that Wangdu wanted something.

can fulfill corresponding commitments.

Wei Keng took out the list and handed it to the cousin. There were multiple-choice questions on it.

~

These procedures have already been given to the princess when they met. Now it is just a matter of determining which aspects of the specific plan the king can implement.

~

Roxanne covered half of her face with a fan and looked at Carrette. Is the smile on her face sarcastic? Or is it other expressions on her cheeks that are hard to judge.

He asked slowly: "Brother Carret, aren't you interested in the throne?"

Carrette blinked and looked at her intelligently: "This is not a bargaining chip that you can use to make a deal." The meaning is simple: I never said that I would give up my inheritance rights, but I don't want to talk to you about this kind of thing now.

Roshan said in a seductive tone: "The kingdom can grant you a new territory."

Carret looked at His Highness and immediately checked the system. The system marked that the princess had many "friends who were also from great nobles." This was a very important circle of ladies in the royal capital.

Luo Shan: "Xixue collar lost its male heir when fighting the tide ten years ago."

~

The system took out a map to introduce: Xixue Territory, a commercial port north of the royal capital, belongs to the coastal zone. But it is different from ordinary coastal areas. This territory is located on a protruding peninsula, and there is a radius outside the peninsula.

One hundred and forty kilometers of circular island circle.

This kind of terrain is obvious and has the characteristics of a crater! The raised ring on the outer sea isolates the entire territory into two parts: an inner shallow sea and an outer deep sea.

Ten years ago, during the Battle of the Tides, a large number of sea tribes invaded here along the ocean currents and fought a three-year war with the Kingdom of Egg. The maritime power of the Kingdom of Egg fought this group of tribes eight times.

A large battle involving five thousand people. Unfortunately, of course, the eldest son of the great nobleman of the local Xixue Kingdom died in the battle, and then the second son seemed to be cursed by the siren and threw himself into the sea.

Now there is only one daughter left. She inherited the title this year and needs to recruit someone to complete the inheritance.

~

"Stop!" Carrette shouted to stop Roxanne's introduction.

In Master Wei's eyes, the red thread on her white silk gloves that covered her forearms was a very complicated thing.

Carrette said seriously: "Cousin, it is your business to arrange a good lord for the Snow Territory, and it has nothing to do with me. I have no time for behind-the-scenes politics, and I am not good at it.

My people, their growing material and spiritual needs, and my own arcane lessons have taken enough of my energy. I'm sorry."

Carrette paused and decided to quickly end this time-wasting meeting.

He took out a pen and wrote on the signature sheet, increasing the original potion share to 11,000 pieces.

Karet: "We are still blood relatives, so we can't let you go all the way in vain. This is the bottom line that I can supply to the royal capital this year while the original conditions remain unchanged."

It means: "This is the price of your face. It's interesting enough, but of course that's all."

~

Rosanne paused, took the order and said, "Thank you, my cousin, but..."

The girl walked up to Wei Keng and released a soundproof barrier: "Legal, you are just my uncle's illegitimate son. This is what many people in the royal capital insist on."

On the system side, humanities expert Yan Beixiang translated simultaneously for Wei Keng: "She is reminding you that in the order of succession in the royal capital, you can be moved backward by the aristocratic council of the royal capital. After all, the king may also have several illegitimate children.

[Qin Xiaohan discovered that Wei Keng is a first-class person when it comes to grand strategy, but when it comes to conspiracies, sometimes he can’t understand what others are saying. And Bai Linglu is a riddle man, so he directly arranged for his subordinates to help him.

Keng translated the yin and yang dialect of some nobles.】

Carrette stared at the soundproof barrier set up by Roxanne, and of course saw the flashing gem on the finger of her white glove. It was a recorder. This recorder was prepared to unilaterally record the words of Carrette's side.

Behavior that falls under 'cutting the dog'.

Carrette stepped forward, raised his hand, and pressed the soundproof barrier, breaking it with a "click". Of course, he also knocked the eldest cousin against the wall.

The female knight on the side couldn't help but step forward, her hand already on the hilt of the rapier at her waist. As long as Wei Keng got closer, she would draw out the sharp blade.

Carret: "Actually, His Highness made a mistake about one thing. The inheritance right is not a necessary asset for me. But now in the territory, the groups with interests related to me regard it as very important!

I can't throw it away easily.

If His Majesty can come up with enough exchange items to exchange for this asset, and also silence the various interest groups in my territory, and make them acquiesce, Carret can give up his inheritance rights. Then this will be a very good thing for me.

transaction."

~

Wei Keng had already encountered the matter of wearing a yellow robe in the Shenzhou plane.

If they were to make the decision on the side of King Aige, Wei Keng thought it would be better for them to take out their chips as early as possible and not wait to unify their interests here.

Otherwise, once the Junker Group formed by the northern industrial economy forms an alliance, the king will not care about Karit being born from a maid, being an illegitimate child, or having impure blood!

When the interested parties in the Northern Territory are determined to fight for an orthodoxy for Karet, if the royal capital continues to deny it, it means that there are treacherous words to deceive the public.

The aristocratic elites of the North are bound to Carret's military and economy, and have drifted away in the face of the noise of Aige's bloated and old bureaucracy.

The European War in the main world proved that the imbalance of productivity between various regions after the industrial revolution and the rise of industrial forces made blood marriage and feudal hierarchical order unable to prevent the conflict between the old and new forces. Not to mention the capital of Egg and Caret

The blood connection between them is not strong to begin with.

~

Karite took three steps back, away from the princess,

Then the original space jump disappeared.

Leticia stepped forward and stood beside the princess. Regarding Caret's performance just now, the great knight did not comment much, but quietly waited for the princess's order.

~

From the perspective of a bystander: In all senses, Karit was not rude to the princess just now, but some of his actions were too exaggerated. And the two people's identities are equal. It is a small joke, and there is no need for the subject to say anything.
