Chapter 450 New Airship
The Church of Knowledge produces spellcasters.
This is a fact known to everyone in Ceylon now.
There are so many mages.
If it were a few years ago, a mage holding a light ball of [Illumination] would walk into a busy tavern at night, even if he was just an ordinary 1st-level mage, he would receive envious looks from everyone.
Because this is a spellcaster!
It is different now.
The person who walks into the tavern with a light ball of [Illumination] may simply come to help repair the fireplace or cabinet. The function of the light ball is simply to provide enough light so that you don’t have to see things clearly during the repair.
Another example.
A few years ago, if someone used [Arcane Missiles] on the street, the news would spread quickly in the neighborhood, and everyone would know that a powerful mage has come!
Now.
The news will spread faster.
It will not be long before the city order maintenance personnel wearing red shoulder straps and armbands will come to this person.
Tell the other party politely:
"Hello, releasing offensive magic on the street without permission violates Article 7 of the Civilized Public Security Management Regulations of Ceylon. We need to criticize and educate you according to the regulations, and impose a fine of 5 life points. Please cooperate."
"If you commit the same offense again, there will be more severe punishments. Please be informed."
In short.
Not only the users of divine arts, but also the once noble profession of mages are gradually becoming popular and civilian.
Magic has been integrated into all aspects of life.
It has become feasible to use magic to provide stable and sufficient power for the Jinchao Pofeng airship.
There are enough mages anyway!
Some smart believers are already thinking about it, otherwise-just give up the machine structure of [Element Core] and directly build an airship driven by pure magic and divine arts?
The principle of the airship is that the more powerful the brick, the more it can fly.
As long as it can fly and propel, it can be used as an aerial vehicle!
However, because time is limited this time, compared with designing and building an airship from scratch, it is obviously a more time-saving method to modify the original Jinchao Pofeng.
In order to go to the Stone Fort, all forces are still focused on the Jinchao Pofeng.
...
Strictly speaking, the modified Jinchao Pofeng is no longer a goblin airship.
In other words, it can no longer be considered a small-scale goblin airship.
The entire hull is replaced with a lightweight alloy shell. Although it is much lighter than normal copper, iron and other metals, it is definitely heavier than a wooden shell.
The original [Element Core] can't push this big guy whose weight has skyrocketed several times under the premise of the same volume.
According to the idea of goblin engineering.
Either reduce the weight and reduce the volume to a micro airship that can only accommodate 3 or 4 passengers;
Or use the [Element Core] that provides power source permission for medium and even large airships.
The believers of the Church of Knowledge chose the third idea.
Human-powered magic and divine arts make up for the power gap of the airship!
"Anyway, this is the current situation."
Pate patiently told Ronald about the changes in the Golden Tide Windbreaker.
Ronald opened his mouth stupidly.
After thinking for a long time, he finally asked in shock:
"You mean... if there are no mages who charge the magic circle and the gods who perform divine rituals, this airship can't fly?"
Pate corrected with a smile:
"Hey! You can't say that."
"It can still fly, just replace it with a bigger airbag."
"But if there is no magic and divine arts, its propulsion will definitely not be enough."
Ronald was half crazy on the spot.
"God of Wealth! Where can I find so many wizards and chosen ones?"
"Then what's the difference between repairing this airship and not repairing it! The contract we signed is to repair it, not to repair it to the point where it can't be used. If that's the case, my inability to send you to Stone Castle is not a violation of the contract!"
Pet calmly raised his hand and pressed it, signaling Ronald to calm down: "Don't worry, don't worry!"
"Although you may not find wizards and chosen ones to operate airships elsewhere, there are many such talents in the Church of Seeking Knowledge in Ceylon!"
"And the cost of hiring them is very low."
"Think positively."
"Although your flight cost is a bit higher, this new airship has made great progress in safety, speed, and maneuverability, and can carry more weight!"
"I've calculated it for you."
"Even if you keep the original airship ticket price, the money you can earn next will only increase, not decrease."
Ronald's face improved a little, and he confirmed: "Really? You didn't lie to me?"
Pet gestured to the airship.
The airbags were gradually inflating, and the alloy shell of the ship was reflecting silver light under the sunlight.
The Jinchao Pofeng was about to take off again.
"You can go up and ask the mages who are responsible for providing power for the voyage to the Stone Fortress how much they can be hired for."
"This is our commission, so it is free, and we don't charge any hiring fees."
"Wait until our contract ends, and then you can continue to hire them and sign a cooperation contract with them, and the problem will be solved, right?"
...
Another legitimate conspiracy.
Pete is sure.
As long as Captain Ronald experiences the modified new airship, when they realize that this thing is more practical and safer, and especially - it can make them more money, it will be difficult for them to accept the old airship that is powered by the [Elemental Core].
The power source of the new airship is essentially manpower!
And it is the manpower of the Church of Knowledge!
After all, there are not so many spellcasters and chosen ones willing to condescend anywhere else!
This means that only by cooperating with the Church of Knowledge can the goblins hire enough people to operate the new airship.
If they break up with the Church of Knowledge, they will have to go back to using the old airship!
The speed of making money will slow down.
There is a way to earn 10 gold coins, but in the end they can only earn 5 gold coins.
For the goblins, this is as uncomfortable as killing them!
Interest binding is one of the best ways to form an alliance.
As long as there are enough interests, most relationships will become unbreakable.
…
Pete and the others stepped onto the deck of the Golden Tide Windbreaker again.
The modified airship gave a very different feel.
The previous shaky and unstable feeling was completely gone.
The alloy hull greatly increased the weight, which also meant that the stability of the airship was increased.
There were also believers of knowledge who had mastered the divine arts of the God of Birds on the deck. They had completed their rituals and blessed the entire airship with divine arts!
Captain Ronald was also in position at the steering wheel, aiming at the loudspeaker next to him that was amplified by magic, and screamed:
"Draw anchor, set sail!!"
…
There will be 3+1 more chapters later. I am back to normal today. Liver up!
