Chapter 85 Human Nature
"Airship?!" Gothe's eyes widened.
Even if we know that in a world with extraordinary power, the point method of the technology tree will inevitably be greatly different from that of the earth.
But when he first heard about the existence of the airship, he was still shocked.
In a world that doesn’t even have cars or trains, “airship technology” is the first one to be named?
It’s really yours!
“Yes, airships have always been the most popular means of travel for Gaohuan mages on the mainland.”
“The waterway requires various turns and detours, and the speed is not fast enough. Needless to say the land route It’s more complicated, and the land route in uninhabited areas is extremely dangerous.”
“In comparison, airships are the fastest, safest and most comfortable way to travel.”
Gao Deqiang. Suppressing the turmoil in my heart, "Then why have I been in Bremen for a month and I have never seen an airship."
Pierre sighed and said helplessly: "Because our country is just a small principality."
"So, Sean's airships are not only lagging behind, but also very small in number. They are all controlled by the official and the big companies." In the hands of merchants and nobles, it has not been involved in the civilian field."
"The price of an airship is extremely high, and it is not just a matter of buying it. It also requires a lot of maintenance costs, repair costs, and equipment every year. The corresponding staff costs are extremely high. ”
“If airships are to be popularized in the civilian field, they must have sufficient passenger flow to ensure that they do not lose money or even make a profit.”
“ This is simply impossible in a small principality like ours.”
"Because Xi'an is poor and the people in Xi'an are also poor, most people cannot afford to take the airship." Pierre said, spreading his hands.
“So, in the city of Bremen, there are no airships at all.”
After saying this, Gothe understood.
Just like on Earth, only a few cities have "airports".
Even if the pie falls from the sky, it is not an easy thing to get it into your mouth. Gaode couldn't help but sigh.
We haven't yet figured out whether the "recommendation letter" is reliable, but the next question has already been made clear in advance:
The road to St. Sean City is too long and tortuous.
From Hogan City to Bremen City, he can also follow the caravan.
It was difficult to find a caravan that could take him for a ride in the city of Saint-Sien in Bremen.
Only taking an airship is the most convenient way. But where did the airship come from?
"Let's go, I'll treat you to lunch today!" Pierre didn't think so much as Gothe. He stood up and greeted happily: "Boy, if you have nothing to do in the future, you can come to me more often, even if you want to chat, it's okay."
The little old man has no relatives or friends. Since he ran away to Bremen, he has even lost his grocery store business. He has nothing to do every day and is very lonely.
Gaode's visit made him open up his chat box.
"If you don't mind me eating and drinking, I will definitely come more often," Gao De also said with a smile: "I just come back later, but there will be no good wine."
< br>Pierre is also the first acquaintance he has met since coming to this world, and he has some special emotions in him.
"I live at No. 437 Carmond, and I work as a restoration craftsman to make a small living." Gothe also briefly introduced his situation to Pierre.
It turns out that Pierre is indeed wealthy, and he invited him to an extremely high-end restaurant for lunch.
The food is even more luxurious:
custard for 4 silver, grain-raised chicken for 12 silver, ham pâté for 4 silver and 6 copper, 8 silver Asparagus, and 3 silver and 6 copper liqueur.
A total of 1 gold and 12 silver.
This was placed in a small restaurant diagonally across from Mrs. Misou's house. It was enough for Gaode to have lunch for a month and there was still some leftover.
Having had enough wine and food, Goude bid farewell to Pierre for the time being.
But his trip today did not end here.
Afternoon time.
No. 267 Carmond.
A month later, Gao De knocked on the door of Mrs. Misu's house again.
"Mr. Google, what's the matter?" Mrs. Misu opened the door, a little surprised.
"Madam, there is a little trouble." Gothe showed an anxious expression. "Ah?!" Mrs. Misu was very concerned and greeted quickly: "What's the trouble? Come in and talk about it."
Gaode walked into the room neatly and took a seat in the reception area. .
Mrs. Misu didn't have the intention to make tea anymore. She sat down opposite Gao De and asked with concern: "Did you encounter any trouble?"
"I think your business has been very good during this time. Could it be?" Is there anything wrong with the house?"
Gaode shook his head, took out a letter that he had prepared long ago, and handed it to Mrs. Misu, "Madam, please read it first."< br>
At the same time, as his mind turned, mana flashed from the spell model.
The door that had not been closed by Mrs. Misou had been closed the next moment, blocking out possible prying eyes.
[Switch technique].
Seeing Gothe's serious face, Mrs. Misu quickly took the letter and unfolded it to read it carefully.
As soon as she took a look, she couldn't help but subconsciously exclaimed, looking up at Gothe in astonishment.
Gaode didn't say anything and motioned to Mrs. Misu to continue looking down.
Seeing this, Mrs. Misu lowered her head silently and carefully checked the letter in her hand.
Gothe remained silent on the side, observing Mrs. Misu's expression calmly, trying to detect some changes in the other party's mentality.
The letter he gave was the letter that Master Seda planned to send to Mrs. Misu, but failed to send it.
Judging from the content of the letter, it is simply an expression of longing and a report on one's recent situation, without revealing much information.
Although he didn't see anything disadvantageous to him from the letter, Gao De was still worried about it and was not sure how much specific information Mrs. Misu knew.
It's useless to just waste your time like this. You can only bite the bullet and come to the door proactively, and then "show off the tricks".
After all, except for the apprentices in the medicine garden who knew the truth, in the eyes of outsiders, ninety-nine out of a hundred people would not think that Master Seda would be killed by an inconspicuous little apprentice of his.
This is a natural talisman of high virtue.
Fortunately, the worst case scenario expected by Gaode did not appear.
When Mrs. Misu read the contents of the letter in detail, the expression on her face had become unpredictable, as if she had expected something and was a little sad.
She raised her head and looked at Gothe: "Why is my husband's letter here with you?"
Gothe said "honestly": "Madam, in fact, I lied to you. I am not from Carmond City, but a stranger from Hogan City."
"My true identity is actually Master Seda's apprentice. "
"You are my husband's apprentice?" Mrs. Misu frowned.
Gothe nodded, thought for a while, and decided to test what Mrs. Misu knew about again, and then selectively told the situation about Master Seda in Hogan City.
“The Master Master owned a medicine garden in Hogan City and needed apprentices to take care of it. He was kind-hearted and saw that there were many beggars in the city who had neither father nor mother. One day they died on the streets, so he took a few with him. The beggars returned to the medicine garden, including me.”
"After taking us back to the medicine garden, he accepted us as apprentices, provided us with food and clothing, and taught us how to read, learn spells, and prepare potions." Gothe said slowly and naturally what Master Seda had done. Come.
There is no flaw in this statement, because it is the truth. Gothe just omitted the key point that "the ultimate purpose of accepting them as apprentices is to use them to test medicine."
Mrs. Misu listened attentively.
At least Gothe couldn't see any flaws in her expression.
So, it can be tentatively concluded that Master Seda has indeed never revealed the details of the medicine garden to Mrs. Misu.
That's how it should be.
Before being forced to leave Hogan City, Master Seda was not a "black mage" who didn't care about human life.
When he later embarks on this path for his own benefit, his previous conscience may not necessarily make him feel guilty, but it will most likely make him hide it from those closest to him in order to maintain his image and Persona.
This is human nature.
Human nature is like this.
