Otherworldly Mysterious Gate

The next day was the day when the regular traffic airship in Nanata Town set off.

This airship is a real airship. It does not rely on the anti-gravity magic circle, but the buoyancy of thermal air. It is powered by a simple wind magic circle. Its flying height is less than a kilometer, and its speed is quite slow. The advantage is that it is cheap.

The gondola under the airship is not big, there are a row of seats inside, there is no compartment, but there is a toilet, and you can bring your own food. The flight time is two days.

Looking out from the porthole of the airship, you can clearly see the winding road below. In fact, you can also reach Junli City by land, but it will take five or six days. Compared with a comfortable airship, it is naturally inferior. far away.

In fact, it was also the first time for Simon to take an airship. He was suppressing his excitement for fear of losing face in front of Lin Shu and the two beautiful ladies. There were not many people on the airship, and the seats were not full. The beauty of Er'er has indeed attracted the attention of many people, but after hearing the conversation between Simon and Lin Shu, and vaguely knowing that Lin Shu and others are relic hunters, these businessmen or hunters with a little money are very consciously dismissed. The dirty thoughts in my heart.

"Simon, is this your first time riding an airship?"

"Yes, did you make your husband laugh?"

"Hehe, you care too much. People come here like this. Many people are the same for the first time. I was so excited and curious when I first took the airship. Looking at the earth below, it was the same. Amazed."

Lin Shu said with some emotion in his tone, of course, the airship ride was still in Green Star, with his younger siblings and one of his wives, who was not his wife at that time.Think of the scene at that time.Lin Shu could not help but smile slightly.Lin Fu glanced at it jealously, then pouted silently.

"Sir, is it your first time to take this kind of airship?"

"Oh no, it's much bigger than this one, and it flies faster and higher."

"It must be a Type [-] or Type [-] airship. Only big cities have it. Our remote place. There are only such small airships."

Lin Shu pursed his lips and smiled without answering.

"Are you going to apply for the intermediate magic school this time?"

"Yes, sir, do you think I can pass the exam?"

"Is this important?"

"Of course!" Simon looked at Lin Shu in surprise. Could it be that this relic hunter didn't come out of school, but the magic passed down in his family?

"For ordinary children like us, the only way to learn magic skills is to enter the intermediate magic school, and then enter the advanced magic academy. Other than that... there seems to be no other way."

Lin Shu shook his head with a smile, as if he didn't quite agree with Simon's conclusion, but he didn't continue to say anything about this matter, but asked about the situation of the intermediate magic school.

"There is an intermediate magic school in Junli City?"

"Of course. Junli City is the higher-level management unit of this residential area, so there will naturally be an intermediate magic school."

Simon is a little strange.This is common sense, why doesn't Lin Shu know?Perhaps, he misunderstood the status of Junli City, didn't he make it clear yesterday?

Lin Shu took out an atlas from his backpack, flipped through a few pages, and spread the atlas on the small table between the seats: "Look, the location of Junli City is very close to Haoyan City, and Haoyan City There is an intermediate magic school here, so I thought there was no intermediate magic school in Junli City."

Simon was stunned, but he really didn't know that Junli City and Haoyan City were so close. It seemed that the two cities were only separated by a mountain.

"That's because it is impossible to directly fly over the Xiaoshan Mountains from Junli City to Haoyan City. It takes a long detour and the flight time takes two days. That's why Junli City was set up at the southern foot of Xiaoshan Mountain."

A guy dressed as a businessman next to him couldn't help but interject to explain, Lin Shu smiled and nodded at him and said: "So that's it, I thought the Xiaoshan Mountains are not very high, so they should be able to fly over!"

"The Xiaoshan mountain range is indeed not high, but the climate changes too much, and there are many flying monsters living, so the route is not very safe, so we had to fly around from the outside."

Lin Shu and Simon nodded together, so there was another reason!It seems that the combat capability of this airship is indeed not worth relying on.

"So, the exploration rate of Xiaoshan Mountains is very low?"

Lin Shu's question was just to cover up his identity, but the businessman was very enthusiastic: "It is true, but I have never heard of any relics found in the Xiaoshan Mountains. Oh, I'm sorry, I just heard that you and this little brother dialogue."

"It doesn't matter, the relic hunter is not a secret identity. Even so, the Xiaoshan Mountains are still worth exploring, aren't they?"

"That's true. The Xiaoshan Mountains are rich in yields and there are many species. It is indeed worth exploring. However, there are not many strong people in Junli City and Haoyan City, and the cost of hiring a mercenary group is too high. Moreover, no one can Guaranteed to find something of value, so..."

Lin Shu smiled: "Understandable, if the purpose is to make profits, the Xiaoshan Mountains are so big, it is indeed a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack, but we have the right to fulfill it, thank you for the news."

"You're welcome, my name is Senbo, and I opened a small shop in Junli City. If I have a chance, I invite you to visit it. It's at the south end of Dongshan Road. It's called Senbo Magic Material Store."

"Okay, I will definitely visit when I have the chance."

Lin Shu's politeness made Boss Senbo very proud, and Lin Shu took the opportunity to ask, "Boss Senbo, is there any suitable place in Junli City where I can find information?"

"Oh, you're talking about the library, and you should have the authority to inquire about the government's materials. As for the public materials, there should be in the library. There is a newspaper in Junli City, and old newspapers over the years should be available in the library. "

"I see. I will add the library to my itinerary. Thank you very much for your introduction."

"Hehe...you're welcome, you're welcome."

Lin Shu's easy-going won the goodwill of his fellow travelers, and soon, a lot of news about Junli City came out from everyone's mouths. From everyone's mouths, Lin Shu had a fairly complete understanding of this planet. understanding.Wait until the airship reaches Junli City.Lin Shu is already a qualified person from this planet.

Simon reluctantly bid farewell to Lin Shu and his wife.Lin Shu encouraged with a smile: "Simon, stick to your own path, because it is undoubtedly correct, don't be influenced by others, even if no one understands, I believe history will remember you in the end."

Simon looked at Lin Shu excitedly, and nodded vigorously: "I remember."

"Simon, I have one last word for you. Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. What you can't learn in books, you can learn with your own eyes and feet. School is not the only place where you can learn. You understand the basics of magic. , The so-called advanced magic is just stronger, faster and more ingenious, but your path is newer and more ingenious, what you can’t learn in books can be learned from others, from Warcraft, and from nature.”

Simon was taken aback, and then felt his whole body and mind became clear.If it is said that Lin Shu made him recognize his own path that day, today Lin Shu showed him a vast world.Simon no longer hesitated or was timid. He knew that the world that Lin Shu showed him was so vast, and there was no time for him to hesitate. He just wanted to rush into this world immediately, looking for the endless world. Unknown answer.

I don't know how long it took for Simon to wake up from his own world, but Lin Shu and his wife had long since disappeared without a trace, and the passers-by around were watching curiously standing on the street Simon, Simon bowed deeply towards the street with firm eyes. In his heart, Lin Shu is undoubtedly his most respected teacher!

......

Two days later, Xinyuanxing Capital.

The government structure of Xinyuanxing is a typical form of elected government, but the highest authority is strangely called the General Command. This comprehensive command is not elected by the people, but is elected through the first-level government officials and the Legislative Assembly. In principle, the term of office is life-long, unless impeached by more than 20.00% of those eligible to reject.

This is a democratic centralization system. The system itself does not matter whether it is good or bad. The key is efficiency and effectiveness, as well as whether its own supervision and promotion mechanism is sound. Xinyuanxing has a long cultural heritage, so it has done a good job in this regard. Only in this way can Xinyuanxing be maintained for tens of thousands of years without any division and internal strife.

However, the highest authority of Xinyuanxing also bears inescapable responsibility for the retrogression of civilization. The key is that they did not forcefully prevent the emergence of monopoly groups. The emergence of monopoly groups has fully controlled the technological development capabilities of Xinyuanxing. For those with vested interests, evolution is not the only goal, but to obtain more benefits is the ultimate goal.

Or it should be said that the General Command has been occupied by monopoly capital, and the largest monopoly capital of Gein was originally the people in power of the General Command.

Of course, there are many reasons for the retrogression of civilization. For example, the loss of fleeing all the way, whether in terms of talents or materials, there are too many lost and discarded things; The sacrifice of protecting civilians is also an important factor in the retrogression of Xinyuan star civilization.

In fact, Xinyuanxing is similar to the situation of Fanxingxing to a certain extent, except that they did not split, but formed several large monopoly groups. When the spaceship was damaged and a large amount of technology was lost, they began to A slow road to recovery, but this process is too slow.

After 1 years, they are still stuck in the era of mechanical airships, which is really a bit sorry for their ancestors.

This may also have something to do with the lack of sense of crisis on the Xinyuan planet. For 1 years, the enemies that the Xinyuan planet has to face are monsters and natural disasters on the Xinyuan planet. On this very stable planet, there are almost no particularly serious natural disasters. , that is, there are more monsters.

In this peaceful environment, the people who escaped from the dead finally relaxed, and then it was difficult to bring up the sense of crisis, and they lived a happy and peaceful life. forgotten.

However, something happened today that made all those in power on Xinyuanxing feel very scared. The illusory peace and happiness of Xinyuanxing seems to be coming to an end. The reason is that foreign civilizations have appeared!

For the Xinyuan Stars who can only fly slowly in the sky, the civilization that can cross the starry sky is definitely an opponent so powerful that it makes them tremble. The appearance of these opponents finally reminded them that it was a very long time ago Memories, the once incomparably brilliant galaxy civilization, and the honor of the once powerful First Republic finally made their descendants feel ashamed and regretful!
