Magic Tower Starry Sky

Chapter 256: Basque Chamber of Commerce

The workmanship of the wooden lift is quite crude for Lin, a traveler like him. However, the protective fence, which is not safe at all, unexpectedly allows the outside scenery to be fully seen. The vast beauty of climbing high and looking far away always makes people feel open-minded.

The mountains in summer are lush and full of life. From time to time, there are birds passing by, oops! got caught...

This proves once again that the lost sky is very dangerous. In addition to all kinds of exotic birds, there are many winged creatures that also use the sky as a hunting ground for prey.

But after all, it's not like I haven't seen a similar scenery. As for the interactions of birds with other creatures, Lin might have enjoyed watching them with relish if he had a pair of binoculars in hand. But now he turned his attention back to the structure of the elevator, observing the world on the magic side, and his attainments in mechanical structure.

The elevator is mainly inclined on two iron rails. The main function is to prevent the elevator from deviating from the moving position. The lifting mechanism is pulled by two iron chains on the track, and it moves very smoothly without any feeling of jamming. This made Lin curious about the power source of the elevator. Certainly not animal power, because animals don't pull so well.

As for the structure of the elevator itself, it is just a wooden cage, so it is not worth mentioning.

To Lin's surprise, there was no trace of magic being used anywhere he could see. This made Lin mention the power technology of dwarves and goblins in the books. Although the technical content of the two races is different, they are both structures that do not require magic and can still function.

Although this way can do no more than magic, it is cheaper because the structure and use are relatively simple. From this elevator, Lin saw the trajectory of scientific development. But magic is too strong in the Lost Lands, so it seems that science can only survive. In Lin's view, without going through the accumulation in the early stage, it is difficult to have the strength to rival magic in the later stage.

The door of the elevator can be opened on both sides. At the lowest level, enter from the outward side; after arriving at the destination, leave from the mountain side. However, Cong Lin observed the operation of several elevators around him, and found a strange thing for him, that is, none of the elevators would stop halfway.

All elevators go up to a certain floor and then go down to the lowest floor before stopping. That is to say, even if you want to go to the adjacent floors, you have to run back to the first floor and sit down again in the Midi version of the elevator. For such an extremely inconvenient reason, it is estimated that the stairs inside the fortress, which are large enough for troops to march, will also be quite lively. As for whether the teleportation array is busy or not, Lin doesn't know.

The speed of going straight up to the 20th floor is not slow, of course it can't compare with the elevators used in those skyscrapers on the earth. Soon, the two arrived at the designated floor. For the fence opened on the side of the mountain, someone will place a partition on the passage connecting the elevator to the fortress to prevent people from falling through the gap.

The waiter at the destination floor was initially confused by the fact that only two people had been picked up by the elevator. But after seeing the two gold tassels tied to Fen, some people showed a sudden understanding expression, while others frowned, and there were more confusions. A great magician would definitely not be an unknown person in the local area, but among the great magicians in the Basque Country, there is no such beauty.

Regardless of other people's mental activities, Fen went straight to one of the waiters and asked, "Where is the chamber of commerce?"

"Your Excellency, please follow me." The waiter simply handed over the work to his companion, and then personally led him to the chamber of commerce. He wanted to be courteous, desperate to hold for Fern the large container she had been holding in her hand. Of course it was rejected. But he still persisted in the conversation, as if he wanted to express himself, but Lin felt that it was more like trying to figure out the bottom line.

Forget it, anyway, the other party's focus is on Fen, a certain man is happy to be a transparent person. He looked around, at the mountain fortresses dug out by the dwarves.

Back then in the Doom Mountain Range, although I had dealt with the local dwarves, I only saw their buildings on the ground, not their achievements under the ground. And the earlier adventure experience only confirmed one thing from the side, that is, there is no historical accumulation in the southwest peninsula, and there are no areas such as ruins or dungeons.

In this mountain fortress, it was the first time for Lin to truly see the cultural expression of the dwarves, that is, the appearance and shape of the buildings.

Contrary to what most people imagine, the place where dwarves live should be a short and small place. In fact, it is not the case. Perhaps the troops stationed in the mountain fortress in the past were not all dwarves, but also other tall races. So when the dwarves dug this fortress, they considered the actions of those tall species.

But to be honest, whether it is a walkway or a house that can be lived in, it is definitely not for human beings. That level of elevation is probably more than enough for giants to live there.

If it wasn't for the fact that there were giants joining the rebels back then, it was the compensatory psychology of the dwarves that made them build everything very tall. In short, such characteristics as tall and majestic can be seen everywhere in the fortress. Walking in it, you will not feel the slightest sense of oppression.

The strange thing is that the roofs of many houses are directly on the ceiling of the floor. It's like using the houses as pillars to prop up the entire floor space.

The planning of the roads is quite square, perhaps because it was used as a military camp in the past, the overall layout emphasizes order and clear moving lines. Because of this, Lin noticed that the person who led the way led him around a small circle, instead of following the shortest route to the chamber of commerce.

What is the intention? Lin remained calm. He believed that the Lich should have noticed this situation. But she probably cares less than herself.

As expected, there were already people waiting at the door of the Chamber of Commerce to welcome Fern's arrival. And it seems that he is quite a person of status, not some small shrimps who are specially received.

"Your Excellency." The person in charge couldn't tell who he was, he only knew that he might be a half-elf with a wealth of wealth, and all kinds of magical accessories all over his body were dizzying.

The reason why it is 'possible' is that between humans and elves, a certain person is also blind and cannot tell the difference. And the person in front of him said he was a purebred elf, but it felt a little worse. That's why Lin didn't dare to conclude.

This person stepped forward politely, kissed the hand of a nobleman, and said: "I am Babiqi, and I am in charge of the Chamber of Commerce. It is a great honor to receive distinguished guests. Please come in quickly. If you have any needs, I believe we can meet you. Please come in and discuss."

Lighting inside the fort was a big problem. On the road outside the Chamber of Commerce, it is not bright, but the warm light brought by the flames. This is also not a product of magic. It may be a certain technology of the dwarves to create these streetlights similar to the earth's street lamps, which are all over the streets and alleys.

But the interior of the Chamber of Commerce is very bright. As if showing off financial resources, in addition to the wall lamps similar in shape to street lamps, there are also things like luminous pearls embedded on the wall, which serve as guides for the passage of the room and as auxiliary light sources. And under this light, there are all kinds of rare treasures, arranged in every place and every corner.

Welcoming everyone into the reception room in the chamber of commerce, there will naturally be beautiful maids serving tea. Fen was also happy to place the container that he had been holding on the table, and taste the high-quality elf flower tea that he hadn't been able to enjoy during the journey. Although it is a lot worse than coffee, but the taste is not bad. In the absence of a choice, Fern would not reject this elegant taste.

The person opposite didn't seem to be in a hurry, just with a shallow smile, waiting for others to be unable to help, and to open their mouths hoping to get to the point. It can be said that from the moment of entering the door, a war in business negotiations started.

After taking a few sips of tea, he pursed his lips and put down the cup. Fern didn't know if it was because he was not good at this kind of confrontation between people, or because he didn't bother to do this kind of thing at all. She took the lead in saying: "This time, I hope that you will be able to buy Thrace Steel..."

"Wait a minute, please," Babbage interrupted Fern. Also regardless of their behavior is against the conventions of fans. Not to mention whether his behavior is as gentlemanly as he imitated the etiquette of the nobles, he said: "Before talking about that deal, I hope to talk about another deal."

Both Lin and Fen were somewhat puzzled by this sudden move. However, Babbage ignored everyone's thoughts, and said respectfully with that smirk face: "Your Excellency, Magician~www.NovelMTL.com~ I have a good deal, and I hope to discuss it with you. I hope I can buy this thing—” Babbage pointed to the special container, “—and the price will definitely satisfy you.”

During the journey, how could a certain man who had made up his mind to rise up allow such a request to be inactive. However, the other party only revealed the meaning of begging for a purchase, and it was not to the point of turning faces, so Lin could only choose his words carefully. He replied lukewarmly: "Mr. Babbage, we came here with money, but to buy things, not to sell things."

"Oh, look at what you are holding, ──" Babbage pointed to the container overflowing with colorful mist, and paused, "──Is it not coming to the chamber of commerce for sale? Am I misunderstanding? Is this really true? It's a pity. I have a guest who is very interested in such things."

While speaking, a group of tall and thick warriors walked in one after another outside the door, and even the magicians who entered the door were all biceps thicker than someone's thigh. They silently occupied the four corners, and more people stood behind Babbage, forming invisible pressure.

Now that the picture is poor, there is no point in justifying anything. It's just that in such a battle, if the person next to him doesn't do anything, Lin doesn't think he has any chance. A suit of well-crafted equipment may be able to take away a few burials before death, but it is extremely difficult to find a way to survive. I still don't have the strength to crush.

When he saw a group of people entering the door, Lin stood up excitedly, but he didn't know what to say. I don't want to offend others, but I don't want to admit defeat again.

Before Lin could react, Fern took out a dry pipe made of gold slowly and twisted the tobacco. With a flick of a finger, a small pinch of flame appeared on the fingertips. He lit the tobacco and took a long drag.
