Chapter 92: People from the Royal Capital
According to Gothe's expectation, it will take some time from the time when the message is conveyed, to when the message is received from above, the decision is made, and then the manpower is dispatched. In addition to the time spent on the road, it will take some time. Saw support from the royal capital.
This is not the case.
Evening time.
Less than two hours have passed since Gothe received the specific news from Pierre.
A buzzing sound from far to near with a fixed frequency sounded over the city of Bremen.
The sound was so loud that Gothe, like most Bremen residents, subconsciously stuck their heads out to investigate the situation.
Either open the door or the window and look up.
A terrifying behemoth was emerging from the clouds and appearing in the sky above the city of Bremen.
All the Bremen people who looked up to find the source of the sound, including Gothe, opened their mouths and stared blankly at what appeared in the sky.
That's an airship.
An airship that most people in Bremen have never seen is hovering abruptly at an altitude of more than 200 meters.
The flat and streamlined airship can minimize wind resistance.
The long and narrow hull of the boat is more than three hundred meters long, shining with silver, and covered with dense magic lines.
These lines are complex and mysterious, they are the soul of the airship, giving it extraordinary power.
Viewed from below, it looks like a silver fish with strange lines swimming in the sea of clouds.
Two ailerons extend out from both sides of the boat, like elegant bird wings, providing extra lift and maneuverability to the airship.
The tail of the airship and the two ailerons are equipped with huge propellers.
The logo of the Principality of Sean is also painted on the tail of the airship.
The constant and deep humming sound comes from this propeller.
They are constantly turning, setting off bursts of air currents, causing the surrounding clouds to billow like waves in the sea.
Obviously, this is an airship from St. Sean City.
As for the purpose, it is obvious and needs no further explanation.
In short, this is the first time many Bremen people have seen a large alchemical creation like an "airship" in their lives.
It can be regarded as having benefited from the "new earth line".
The arrival of the airship made the entire city of Bremen excited.
The residents of Bremen shouted to each other to come out and witness the big scene.
And this airship was floating so quietly in the city square of Bremen, motionless.
A few minutes later, a large number of heavily armed Bremen city guards rushed to the city square.
The city guard officer with a serious face ordered the soldiers to evacuate the crowd near the city square, and sent manpower to block off a small area connected to the city square and set up a barrier.
Then, several temporary and fixed anchor points were set up in the Civic Square.
After all this was done, a signal was sent to the airship above.
After receiving the signal, the personnel on the airship immediately threw several huge ropes out of the airship.
After receiving the huge tethering rope dropped by the airship, the personnel on the ground began to get busy.
They will connect these tethering ropes to temporary anchor points on the ground.
After all this was done, the airship began to release the gas in the compartment airbag and slowly landed at a steady speed.
As the height of the airship decreases, its shadow becomes larger and larger, bringing a large shadow that almost covers the entire city square.
Fortunately, the crowd retreated to a safe distance under the guidance of the city guards.
The airship finally touched the ground smoothly, and the dull humming sound from the propeller gradually subsided.
With a roar, the hatch on the side of the airship slowly opened. Then, a mage wearing a dark robe and holding a staff slowly walked out.
His robe is embroidered with complex and delicate runes, which contain powerful magical power.
The top of the staff made of unknown material in the hand is inlaid with a bright ruby.
A miniature magic vortex spins in the center of the gem, which can bring great benefits to the mage's spellcasting.
There is no doubt that this is a powerful high-level mage.
In the square, the deputy mayor of Bremen City was already waiting. At this time, he took a few steps forward and said respectfully: "Master Frey."
Mage Frey waved his hand, "Prepare supplies overnight and announce Summoning order, everything must be prepared tonight, and I will set off for Hogan's Leyline tomorrow. "
'Hogan's Leyline' is the name given to this new birthplace by the Principality of Sien.
In the evening, when the time on the pocket watch showed just a quarter past seven o'clock, there was a knock on Gothe's door.
When he opened the door, he found that the official staff of Bremen City in uniform were standing at the door.
Amid Gaode's confusion, the official staff expressed their intention:
The officials are preparing to carry out the first wave of large-scale hunting and cleaning of the leyline creatures emerging from Hogan's leyline tomorrow. Manpower was in short supply, so a summons was issued to summon the mages in the city to actively participate.
In today's defensive battle, Gothe, as one of the participating mage apprentices, was the first person to be called upon.
"You only need to follow the large army of city guards to hunt the earth-line creatures outside the area affected by the earth-line, and Master Saint Sean will be responsible for the interior?" Gothe confirmed.
"Of course, otherwise what great things can we expect you mage apprentices to do?" The staff took it as a matter of course. Although they spoke rudely, they did not mean to be sarcastic.
After hearing these words, Gothe also hesitated.
This time the summons is not like the one this morning, which is just to stand on the city wall, but to really go deep into the wild mountains and forests to fight.
Even if a large number of troops are dispatched under official organization and can look after each other, the risk factor is still not small.
Originally, according to Gaode's idea, he must at least ensure that his mana can cast more than ten tricks before he considers going out for adventure.
But this opportunity is really rare.
If it is organized by the government, there will inevitably be officials sent to lead the team. With so many pairs of eyes watching, at least you don't have to worry too much about being framed by your peers.
And there are people who can take care of each other, and they are all mages. Gothe can definitely use this opportunity to accumulate experience in fighting earth-line creatures in the wild, and take this opportunity to accumulate his origins.
"It's not just a call. The official pays to hire all unofficial mages." The staff emphasized that Gaode seemed to be still hesitant.
"A second-class mage apprentice whose mana is not enough to cast ten tricks, 5 gold coins a day."
"A mana enough to cast more than ten tricks, 10 gold coins a day."
"Third-class mage apprentice, 15 gold coins per day, all remuneration will be settled on the same day." The staff reported the remuneration.
“However, there are no additional rewards, and the leyline creatures hunted belong to the official.”
This is also reasonable. After all, the official provides money and effort, and also needs to ensure logistics, so naturally it will have the spoils.
What's more, without official efforts, there is no way to transport the earth-line creatures hunted in the wild back to the city for sale.
"Okay, I will participate." After some consideration, Gothe decided to participate in this call.
There is no doubt that in the future, he will definitely hunt down the earth-line creatures to obtain the origin, and he cannot continue to "go on" like this.
And in a world where extraordinary power is yours, battles and dangers are inevitable.
He must accumulate relevant experience to adapt to this world.
Besides, origin is rare, so he has no reason to miss this excellent opportunity!
There will be many people at that time, and how to "steal people" will test his timing and vision.
And in Gothe's view, few of the mages called upon by this summons order would choose not to participate.
"Gather at Black Horn Square at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't be late." The staff member nodded, gave Gaode a copy of the summons order in his hand, and explained.
