Chapter 391 Prague, the City of Golems, Golem Celebration
“To go to Paris Gia, it would be faster to take the alchemy airship.”
Hilud looked at the hanging on the wall of the study The sheepskin map is marked with crosses, symbolizing the war-torn areas. At a glance, the empire is full of wars and is not peaceful.
"I suggest that you take a diversion from the Giant Rock Channel to the Gnomish Industrial Zone in Prague City. You can reach your destination in at most two days." The red-haired Valkyrie carried a big sword on her back, folded her arms, and said in deep thought, " In this way, we can also avoid "Open the war-torn area."
"Alchemy airship?" Gray leaned forward on the single sofa, holding his chin in his hands, looking interested, "I have never sat on one before. It seems like it will be very difficult." Interesting! ”
"When I was serving in the Imperial Varangian Guard, I once flew on an alchemy airship to perform a mission."
Hilud seemed to recall very bad memories, and sighed: "Honestly, the alchemy airship is not that good. None of them are interesting. It is very bumpy due to the airflow, the smell of alchemy fuel is pungent, and the mechanical propeller makes a strong noise. The only advantage is that it is very fast... Multi-person travel, alchemy airship It can significantly improve the efficiency."
Perun frowned slightly, and was very repelled by the alchemy airship. He muttered:
"The airship is an integrated product of machinery, alchemy, and magic. It is cold and cold. Ugly, pungent, and devoid of beauty."
"That's for you elves. To the dwarves and dwarves, the shape of the airship is full of alchemical aesthetics," Yeats said.
"What is alchemical aesthetics?" Gray asked.
"Probably refers to the yellow-yellow-green potions, the pungent surging gas and the strange-shaped mechanical devices." Hillud analyzed.
Airships only travel in a few areas within the empire.
In the Golden Lion Kingdom, Yeats had never seen this kind of transportation vehicle at all.
The reason why the airship route can connect the Kingdom of Roland is that, firstly, Roland borders the empire, and secondly, because the Sun King Louis has a strong curiosity for all new things, and single-handedly promoted the construction of the route, and under King Roland An Air Transport Committee was established in the country specifically for air transport and air control.
Even if a master of the Sixth Ring rashly uses flying skills in the city of Paris, he will immediately be targeted by the magic cannon, and then he will be jointly enforced by many powerful people in the Air Transport Committee.
The Air Transport Committee took orders directly from Louis, and the strong ones among them were only loyal to the king. It was more like the prototype of the "air force" than an "air transport", and Louis firmly controlled the general power.
Compared with Queen Theresa, who is still looking at the face of the parliament, Roland's Sun King Louis is much tougher when it comes to centralizing power. At the moment, Louis is a single-minded presence in Roland and holds great power. The young hero.
Thinking of this trip to Paris, Yeats became curious about this famous "crossdresser" in the game.
As the current Grand Duke of the Northern Province of the Golden Lion Kingdom, according to etiquette, Yeats had sent a letter of visit to Louis before visiting Paris, and also received a reply from Louis, indicating that Yeats had arrived in Paris. On the occasion of Giya, the royal family will personally receive you.
With the current war-torn situation in the empire's provinces, taking an alchemy airship is indeed a better choice to avoid unnecessary complications.
“Then follow Herod’s suggestion.” Yeats said, “How long will it take to reach Prague?”
“Take a boat across the strait, then take a carriage, and it will take two days to arrive. "Hilud knows the empire's territory and routes very well.
Yeats estimated the route in his mind. In other words, it would take a total of four days to reach Paris-Gia, three days earlier than the week he expected, and there would be no need to use fighting spirit to fly along the way. You can meditate while driving and digest the gains from your trip to the strait.
The "Pure Water Crystal" of the Maelstrom Monster has been melted by Yeats with moon flames, and refined together with the elemental cores of Wind Song Grass, Siren's Tears, and Water Spirits into [Maelstrom Magic Potion]. Finished taking.
Due to the addition of food during the refining process, the Fountain of Minerva and other ingredients were added to the original potion formula, which greatly reduced the time required to digest the potion. Three days was enough for Yeats to officially Master three new spells: "Walk on Water", "Vortex" and "Ship Control".
The magic of "walking on water" has a long history and is a veritable miracle. Chapter 14 of the Gospel of Matthew tells the story of Jesus walking on water when a ship encountered a storm at sea.
Whirlpool is a water element spell with a high-end ring. The effect is simple and crude. It creates a vortex on the sea. The prerequisite for casting the spell is that the surrounding water elements need to be sufficient to draw the water elements in the creative field to form a vortex.
Because it is not a pure arcane spell and does not need to apply for magic network permissions, Yeats is very handy in using it.
Ship Control is a necessary spell for the navigator profession. With this spell, the captain can control the warship without sailors. If the warship has special abilities, it is not impossible to sail the warship into the sky. thing.
Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge, the Midnight, which can only be unlocked by completing the "Three Horrible Legends" pre-missions, and the legendary Death's ship, the "Nail Ship," all possess the magical power of "flying into the sky".
Yeats has now obtained two-thirds of the treasure map of the Midnight. He is just waiting for the opportunity to go to the ice sea again and get the Midnight. With the "ship control skills", he can directly You can sail across the seven seas.
The specific effectiveness of the physical enhancement after consuming "Sea Shocking Emperor Scale Snake" has to be verified in person at the competitive competition.
Yeats thought to himself that with the blessing of Avalon and the blessing of food supplements in the past two years, he could overthrow the emperor-level monster with physical strength alone. As for the emperor-level monster, it would take a bunch of treasures and blessings. One can also defeat many.
As for the epic monsters above the emperor level... I have not encountered them yet.
Artemis, the goddess of hunting, mentioned that the "Hydra" she wants me to hunt is an epic monster... Yeats secretly thought... I have to find an opportunity, shake up a teammate, and use it to operate. The seven-ring ingredients are enough for the overall level of the team. Improved a lot!
That morning.
Everyone left the Strait of Giant Rock, took a carriage, and rushed to the city of Prague, which has an airship route.
One day later.
“The city of Prague, the territory of the Elector, the famous city of the Mechanical Golem.”
Hilud leaned against the car window, looking out the window, with a trace of reminiscence.
“Astrologers, monks, clockmakers, printmakers, puppet makers...craftsmen from all walks of life gathered in Prague. The skilled dwarfs also found a place in Prague and gradually established a "Dwarf Industrial Zone."
"Dear Duke, we are almost at Prague," the coachman said respectfully. Jing's voice came, "According to the rules, I can only send you to the demon statue. You will need to walk on the way into the city."
Gray leaned out of the car window. , the single horse swayed in the wind, stretched out his hand to point to the far end, and said in surprise:
"Yeats, look, what a big demon statue!"
Golems and mechanical dolls are two major features of Prague.
Yeats remembered that the golem was a kind of clay figure that had appeared in Jewish legends since the Middle Ages and was breathed into life by a spell. In the Atrium Continent, the golem was not only made of clay, but also made of metal and steel. Even a golem made of forbidden magic stone.
Looking in the direction of Gray's finger, Yeats was slightly startled. He saw a demon statue taller than the city gate, kneeling on one knee and standing outside the city wall, glowing with blood. Silver-plated luster, a huge magic crystal on the chest emits ruby-like light.
Perun's eyes were shocked: "The Forbidden Stone Golem!"
As Perun said, the golem standing in front of him is entirely made of the Forbidden Stone.
When any mage faces this giant statue, his previous connection with the magic network will be restricted, and his spellcasting ability will be greatly reduced. If there is no other means of self-protection, a mage fighting this forbidden magic stone golem will be no different than fish on the chopping board!
"Forbidden Demon Stones are expensive and are often used as building materials in forbidden areas, but it is enough to place a Forbidden Demon Stone in the core of the magic circle." Perun took a deep breath and said in shock, "Such a huge forbidden magic stone was made into The golem that has been moving around for a while - it is indeed Prague, the city of golems!”
The closer the carriage gets to the Forbidden Stone Colossus, the more you can feel the hugeness of the golem, towering into the sky, as if it is holding up the blue sky! , giving people a huge visual impact.
The giant statue even turned its eyes and glanced at the carriage Yeats and others were riding in. It seemed that after confirming that it was safe, it withdrew its gaze and continued to look into the distance.
Gray said in shock: "I don't know what energy such a huge demon relies on to move."
Hilud said: "It should be the magic crystal on its chest... This is the first time I have seen such a large size of magic crystal!" "Huh? The mother-ore gemstone of magic crystal mine? It is extremely rare in this era. Mamen's eyes lit up, "Would you like to think of a way to take it off? It would also be a good choice to decorate the door frame of my palace."
Yeats is speechless. Although this golem is only at the level of the sixth ring, and it can be destroyed by force with combat skills, it is no problem, but this thing is regarded as the local elector "Archduke Rudolf" "The Protector's Colossus has a status equal to that of the Sun Fighting Lion of the Golden Lion Kingdom. Crushing the Protector's Colossus is equivalent to declaring war on this elector.
“So, what is the Mother Mine Magic Crystal?” Yeats asked.
“In the old era, there were natural magic crystal mines, so the level of technology and development in the old era was no worse than today’s era.” Mamen said, “Now that all the magic crystal mines have been mined, this kind of High-quality energy is exhausted, and the speed of human development is also greatly limited... Hum, I still have a lot of magic crystal mines in my treasure house. I will take you there another day!"
The God of Greed's tone was somewhat showy.
The treasure house of Mammon!
Yeats's eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands and said cheerfully:
"You are my familiar. What's yours is mine, so what's the difference between you and me!"< br>
The black cat glanced sideways at Yeats and shook his tail proudly without saying anything. He thought that if he could also be recognized by the main body, it would not be impossible for the main body to give him part of the treasure. thing.
Looking at Mammon's arrogant expression, Yeats also knew that he would not be able to pursue the treasure of Mammon for a while, but that might not be the case in the future...
I want all the treasures of the God of Greed. !
"It's strange... isn't it said that this is a colossus made of the Forbidden Demon Stone? Why don't I feel that my spellcasting is affected at all?" Gray scratched his head.
“I didn’t feel the [Forbidden Demon Barrier] either.” Yeats speculated, “Today must be a special day, so the Forbidden Demon Stone Colossus did not open the enchantment.”
< br>6◇9◇书◇Bar
The carriage stopped in front of the city gate, and everyone got off and walked.
When it was Yeats's turn to enter the city to register, the knight commander at the city gate caught a glimpse of the family crest on Yeats's chest. His face suddenly became solemn and he said respectfully:
"The Duke has arrived, and he has been greeted at a distance. , don’t blame me!”
The guards saw that the usually arrogant knight commander suddenly suddenly However, he changed his temper and couldn't help but be surprised until the scholar in charge of registration whispered in everyone's ears through the communication technique:
"The honeysuckle family emblem is only qualified to be used by the Duke of the Golden Lion Kingdom on the mainland. ...Yeats and Burundi, a figure that even Archduke Rudolf could not afford to offend!"
The guards suddenly realized and looked at the knight commander who volunteered to be the guide, admiration welling up in their hearts.
Otherwise he is a knight captain!
Yeats inquired about the knight commander in plate armor and learned that a celebration was being held in Prague today. The reason why the forbidden magic barrier was not opened was to hold a golem celebration in the central square. Ignite the festive atmosphere.
"What is the Golem Celebration?" Yeats asked.
The Knight Commander smiled and said: "You must also know that Archduke Rudolf is very interested in alchemy and golem science. He has gathered strange people from all over the continent in Prague, including golems. Craftsmen, beast tamers, puppet masters, etc.”
"In this golem celebration, the dueling parties are not required to appear in person. The duel must be done by servants." The knight commander smiled, "Archduke Rudolf will also attend in person. He doesn't like to watch the fight between knights, he likes to watch the demons. What about the battle with the golem?”
Some people like to watch gladiatorial fights, while others like to watch beast fights, and Archduke Rudolf obviously belongs to the latter.
Yeats nodded and said: "Just take us to the Gnome Industrial Zone. We will take the airship to Paris Gaia."
The knight chief said: "As you command!"
Gredo asked: "What is the prize for the champion of the celebration?"
"It is a prototype of an alchemy airship." said the Knight Commander. "It is the proud work of the dwarf master Mr. Wrench. It is now on display at the Prague Expo and will be awarded to the champion after the celebration."
"Airship prototype!" Yeats said in surprise, "The one that can be used directly?"
"This...I It’s not clear, but it should be very precious, so two famous masters in Prague, Ford, the golem master, and Belsus Stoneheart, the master golem craftsman, all participated in the celebration.”
At this time, Yeats felt something scratching his trouser legs. When he looked down, Mammon was raising her upper body, with a greedy luster in her amber cat eyes.
“I’m very interested in alchemy technology, and there are very few relevant records in hell—I’ll help you get this alchemy airship prototype, and you can lend it to me for a while, how about it?”< br>
"How do you get it?"
"Of course you have to participate in the competition and get it openly." Mammon shook her tail, "I abide by the contract very much!"
Mammon Have a greedy desire for everything new.
The prototype of the alchemy airship is a novel treasure that has never been found in Mammon's treasure house. It is understandable that Mammon is interested in it.
Yeats thought that this prototype could be brought back to the territory, and to some extent it could also promote the development of the territory's technology tree.
"You just said that beast tamers can also participate in the Golem Celebration. Does that mean that demon pets can also fight?" Yeats asked.
Although Mammon’s identity is that of a familiar, the identity of a demon is very sensitive on the road. It would be much more convenient to explain it directly with a familiar.
“Of course!” The Knight Commander heard the implication of Yeats’s words. “Are you also going to attend this celebration? Do you need me to help you report to Archduke Rudolf? You are the chosen one who is famous in the mainland. I believe he will be very happy to participate in it!”
Ye Zhi nodded and said: “Thank you”
The knight smiled and said: “This is my honor!”
Prague, Grand Duke's Castle.
Duke Rudolf squinted his eyes and pieced together the figurine-sized puppet parts on his desk, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Bang bang!
Archduke Rudolf was very dissatisfied with someone interrupting his fight with the Golem and said:
“What’s the matter!”
"Inform the Duke, Duke Honeysuckle visited Prague and said that he would also participate in this puppet celebration."
Arch Duke Rudolf stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, and his tone was astonished:< br>
"What are you talking about? The Moon God's Chosen has come to my place? Why don't you hurry up and get him into the castle!"
"Yes!"
"Wait a minute! I'll do it myself …”
Archduke Rudolf's eyes fell on the half-assembled doll again. Cold sweat rolled down his forehead and his Adam's apple rolled. He made up his mind and said with difficulty:
"I will greet you personally!"
