Magic Tower Starry Sky

As one of the important towns in the western region of the Gwana Empire, Abadan City, in addition to its significance as a strategic location, there are mines, forests, and a river passing through the hinterland of Abadan. To put it simply, it is rich in natural resources and prosperous in business and trade. No matter what industry it develops, it has an inherent advantage.

So such a city can easily attract a large number of people. Not only free commoners, but also some nobles with territories will come here to look for business opportunities. This is also one of the reasons why a large number of nobles, or their family members, gathered in this city.

And it's not just humans who live here. There are also dwarves, elves, halflings, half-orcs, goblins, etc. Many non-human Homo sapiens live in this city. This is also a major feature of the Gwana Empire.

In comparison, there are not many Homo sapiens other than humans in other countries and regions because there are more or less discrimination problems. Unless one has certain confidence in one's own strength, such a person would dare to travel around in the Lost Continent. Basically, children of different races will not be seen.

The reason for this is that Gwana was founded on the day when the dark age when the demon king Tikal ruled over the world ended. And as the oldest existing country on the surface world of Midi, Gwana was not an empire at first, but an "alliance of a hundred races".

It is different from a certain ethnic group on the earth that is said to be integrated. In fact, half of the population in the country has ancestors who were either slaves, coolies or criminals. The allied state of Gwana is a country jointly established by many different Homo sapiens ethnic groups. All races are equal from the beginning.

Although the hundreds of clans have declined and human beings are the only ones, the co-lords who have been elected in turn have become hereditary emperors, and the allies have become empires, but the status of each clan has not lost its power because of this. To this day, various ethnic groups still maintain their influence on the succession of the imperial family and the emperor. This is Midi's only right, and no other country allows such a thing.

It's not that there are no human beings, even the succeeding emperor himself, wants to change this situation, let the human race dominate, and expel hundreds of clans. But the reality is that it is impossible. Because the elder of the world tree, the wood elf tribe of Uktra Hill, is in the hinterland of the empire. At that time, the sixteen regular legions that the empire was proud of were nearly annihilated by the various tribes that retreated to the World Tree.

The surrounding countries also took advantage of the weak moment of the empire to attack it. It can be said that that time was the moment when the Gwana Empire was closest to subjugation. In the end, the current emperor abdicated, and the new emperor revived the covenant of hundreds of clans. At the cost of losing a large area of ​​the border, the empire was stabilized again with the support of the coalition forces of various clans.

Incidentally, the World Tree Uktrasil is the grand duke of the Gwana Empire, and the scope of the Wood Elf tribe belongs to the principality and enjoys extraterritorial rights, just like the relationship between the suzerain state and the subordinate state. But in fact, all these powers and titles were only imposed on the World Tree by the Gwana Empire, and the wood elves never fought for the empire.

For Yuktra Hill, since he became conscious, the kingdom around him has gone from establishment to glory, and then from prosperity to ruin. Who would not claim the power to rule him. As a result, those countries perished one by one, but I still stood tall. So World Tree doesn't care who wants to take advantage of it.

And to those who take refuge under His protection, Uktrasir is equal. Whether it is wood elves or people of other races, everyone must abide by his rules. Violators, only one death. And those who cannot abide by His commandments usually choose to leave on their own.

The situation of the Gwana Empire, in the next few hundred years, was an attack against the outside world, with each winning and losing. Under such external pressure, it made the empire more united. It is also against this background that Homo sapiens other than humans have a relatively high status and a safe environment in the Gwana Empire.

Among other things, in the airship-related industries in Abadan City, the vast majority of practitioners are of races other than humans, mainly dwarves and halflings. After lunch, Lin let the goblin Totocani lead the way to visit the airship shipbuilder he knew well.

Wearing the formal attire of a magician, with a golden tassel tied in front of the small shawl, Lin didn't bring anything other than a purse and a magic stone containing the design sketch data, including weapons for self-defense. It stands to reason that the appearance of the box cut is very deceptive, no matter how you look at it, the appearance is just like an ordinary long sword, as long as you don't speak, no one will recognize it.

But I was afraid that a certain weapon that couldn't bear the loneliness would be too open-mouthed, so I left it in the hotel and didn't bring it out. Anyway, when you need it, you can call it at any time, and you can start it at any time. And someone didn't know how much trouble Xia Qie caused yesterday, so he dared to walk on the street boldly. If he knew, at least he would have to hide for a few days to avoid the limelight before going out to do errands.

The craftsmen that the goblin knew were not as unreliable as the goblin. Or it should be said that goblin engineers are fine with self-production and self-sale, but if they really want to open their doors to do business, the only way is to go bankrupt.

This is from the fact that Totocani planned to use the airship he built to do business, carry passengers or goods, and earn freight. As a result, they got mixed up to the point of gnawing bark and eating grass roots. They would have starved to death in the Waikato if some lich hadn't had a twitch.

In short, those who can open their doors and do business in Abadan have some real skills in their hands. It's just that people who can deal with goblins more or less have the temper of goblins. Lin would not be too disgusted with this, since doing business is not the same thing anyway. Those who sell things want to earn more, and those who buy things want to spend less. Ninety-nine Chinese

However, Lin didn't choose who to buy from whoever Totocani introduced. Because what a certain person needs are actually made-to-order products, so the workshop is willing to cooperate first.

For those dwarves or halflings who rely on their craftsmanship and technology, when Lin made a request, he was rejected, and even swore that those things could not be used, and the system they designed must be used. Of course, someone politely said Decline and leave. There is no need for benevolence and righteousness in business, but there is no need to speak ill of each other.

So I asked Totocani to take it with me, worked all afternoon, and finally found the workshop responsible for all the parts designed by someone. However, everyone was unable to start work immediately, and always had to make some preparations, including purchasing the required materials. For someone's request, it is not just a random piece of iron that can be made.

To buy materials, of course not all the upfront costs are borne by the craftsmen who made them, and the commercial activities of Midi have not yet developed to the level of the earth. According to the custom here, the party who orders the items shall fully bear the cost of materials.

There are usually two methods, one is that the materials are directly provided by Lin; the other is that the craftsmen find the source of the materials and take them back, but they will not start working until the material costs are paid.

Lin was also unfamiliar with the place in Abadan City. Of course, buying rare materials was not something he could do. So everything is entrusted to the craftsmen who undertake the work.

Of course, it will take time to arrange the materials, so Lin has to take advantage of this time to re-transcribe the design drawings. The three-dimensional imaging explosion map is presented, but it can only be done with the first coffin. It is impossible to dismantle the first coffin into several parts and hand them over to craftsmen belonging to different workshops, so that someone has not been dismantled by the Lich.

Make several low-level versions for others to use, and worry about this technology being used by others. A certain person has a clear distinction between what can be promoted and what cannot be promoted.

The spread of some basic things can promote the technological progress of Midi. However, if some advanced things are spread out, it may become a cage that restricts the thinking of others, and it may also cause destructive turmoil. This situation is what Lin wants to avoid.

The former is like a flash technique, and the latter is a real-time communication system that has been hidden all along. Of course, sometimes things are too complicated, so being too lazy to teach others is also one of the reasons.

It's just that according to the original agreement, those craftsmen will send someone to notify after dispatching the required materials. I bring the cost of materials and design drawings, and the follow-up work can start. The scheduling time is expected to only take two to three days.

But four days later, Lin has not received any notice. It's also a good thing that I took two apprentices to work until midnight for the design drawings two days ago, just to make people have the drawings in time. Unexpectedly, the things that were desperately driven out were left unused for two days.

For such a situation, Totocani is also puzzled. Although Uzov Gantia has been out to inquire about the news these days, of course he also told everyone about the big story that was revealed by the box cutter. But there was no news about the problems someone faced in transforming the airship.

So those who didn't want to wait any longer took the goblins with them and went to the agreed workshops. See if there is a problem with the scheduling of materials, and whether you need to find alternative materials~www.NovelMTL.com~ It doesn’t matter if you don’t go out, but when you go out to inquire, you are always rejected. Even the few craftsmen who were quite enthusiastic originally invited the guests out with embarrassment.

In addition, I went to visit other workshops that I hadn't visited before. As long as Totocani reported the identity of the captain of the airship Sid, he usually got similar results. It still depends on someone appearing as a magician, otherwise Lin was guessing that there might be someone with a bad temper, so he would beat him out.

Now the pigs knew there was something wrong, let alone someone who watched too many anime with all kinds of conspiracies rampant.

When we got back to the hotel, the matter was put together with everyone, and everyone could vaguely get a clue, but they couldn't figure out the ins and outs. Even Uzov blamed himself for not getting relevant news.

Lin didn't blame this man who followed with a stern face, but in fact he also brought a lot of help to everyone. He said: "This is not your fault. In fact, there is still a gap between a spy and a commercial spy. The matter is only spread in the workshop related to the airship, but not on a larger scale. This means that we can only start from this aspect and look for possible clues."
