Although there are no separate lanes for people and vehicles in Midland, the holy city of Estali is a big city after all, and there are a lot of carriages carrying people and goods on the main roads. Therefore, pedestrians walking on the road will consciously pull over.
Let's go. If we get hurt, the other party won't be able to hit and run, but don't think about burdening the next life with mental compensation or anything like that. There's no way to make money out of nothing.
Even so, Lin could not increase the power of the horse. Because just pressing the accelerator lightly would make the speed a little faster than the normal traveling speed of the carriage. If the accelerator was fully opened, not only others would be scared, but even himself would be scared. Not that
I have no confidence in the technology of a car I have not driven for more than ten years, or I am worried that the car will fall apart, simply because I have no confidence in the people on the road.
When this strange machine hits the road, it will cause people to point fingers, which is expected by someone. But many people jump directly in front of the car and plan to stop it, which is unexpected.
He didn't understand the intentions of these people, and he didn't intend to explain it to them anyway, so Lin chose to just ignore the matter.
If they are far away, just turn the steering wheel and dodge the person; if they are too close, just use a flash spell to throw the person from the middle of the road to the side of the road. As for whether they will be contaminated by the alien energy, we don’t care.
You can't go up, because if you don't do this, you can only drive towards the opponent.
Someone doesn't intend to drive the first car in the history of the United States and get into the first car accident in the history of the United States.
After the feeling returned, Lin tried to increase his speed. The agreed dinner location was in Area IV of the Holy City, which was some distance away from Area VI where he lived.
Of course, you can get there in an instant using the Flash Technique, but if you take a carriage, it will take about half an hour to an hour, which is why someone never considered walking from the beginning. As for how long it will take to drive, then
But I can't be sure.
In addition to checking his own driving skills and road conditions, Lin also did some simple tests on the road. In addition to basic braking and steering simulations, Lin also tested the car's navigation system.
Using the Arcane Eye to record town blocks and then display a reduced-scale real-life map is a technique that I have mastered. So based on this, designing a navigation system is a matter of course.
However, until now, there are no so-called traffic laws in Midi. Therefore, in addition to the shortest distance, the only rules for navigation are to set the road width to be enough to accommodate vehicles traveling in parallel. Don't go into alleys that are too narrow.
In fact, these are not the first of their kind. Relevant technologies were used as early as when the airship Sid was overhauled. However, it was an airship flying in the air, and the airways in the air were not as complicated as the streets on the ground.
Therefore, the car navigation system still needs to be adjusted.
The airship Sid has an autonomous driving mode with a navigation system, and the Silverbeard dwarves certainly plan to implement such a system in the car. Although the plan proposed by the dwarves is feasible in Lin's opinion, it has already been developed.
The system is not mature yet, so someone doesn’t want to put his life in it, so he doesn’t turn on the self-driving mode of the Ginsu version.
While exploring and testing, Lin arrived at his destination unknowingly.
A weird-looking metal monster was parked outside the mansion. How could the guard at the door not be nervous? Especially today is a day when guests arrive, and they are all people who have been ordered by their masters to be treated with care. No matter whether those few can themselves
To solve problems, the host cannot help the guests who come in, and the people below cannot be relieved by being scolded for "dereliction of duty."
But just when one of the guards was about to stab the metal monster with a spear in his hand, he noticed a man sitting in the middle of the monster. The man stuck out his head and one hand and said, "I'm here.
We are here for the banquet. This is the invitation letter, please confirm it." At the same time, he handed over the gold-painted invitation letter in his hand.
It seems that it is not a monster. The two guards breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their dignified and majestic demeanor. After checking the invitation letter, they said respectfully: "Your invitation letter has been confirmed. I wonder if you..."
Listening to the hesitant voice of the guards, Lin couldn't figure out what they were worried about. He said, "Please tell me where the carriage is parked. This carriage will not move unless there is someone driving it."
Although I don’t quite understand what this metal monster is, since this guest said that it will not move without being controlled, it can make people feel at ease. In this city full of magicians, there are too many weird things.
If there are too many, there are no standards that can limit everyone, let alone that I am just a gatekeeper.
Under the guidance, Lin drove the car to a pile of carriages and parked it, then headed towards the main residence. The residence was still in the absence of the owner, and the deacon who stayed behind temporarily took over the duties of the housekeeper and stood at the door to greet the guests.
.
The people attending the banquet today were quite lively, and they were clearly divided into two groups. One group was magicians, led by Dharma Saint Babak Abu Nahan. There were older people and younger ones. The same thing is that they all
Dressed quite luxuriously.
The luxury here does not only refer to the gorgeous clothes, but also to the magic attached to them. Its power is as powerful as a man who sprays a whole can of cologne or a woman who sprays a whole bottle of perfume in one breath. No need to get close, stay far away
You can smell the strong presence.
This look that looked like they were ready to fight at any time made a guy who came to the banquet twitch his lips. Fortunately, this was just the equipment they were wearing, not the weapons they were holding. If they were holding wands or other
There are all kinds of magic weapons, so today's event must be the Hongmen Banquet. There is no need to eat anything, just run or start fighting directly, which may save trouble.
In other words, I am afraid of being poked by Hagiri.
The other group of people has a completely different temperament. No matter what, the magician will have a temperament that has experienced blood and fire, and has grown up in the fight. No one's hands will be clean. Without seeing blood, there is no way to cross that threshold.
When a magician is in the Lost Land, he does not do sideshows or just do research behind closed doors without paying attention to worldly affairs.
But the group of strangers looked more like gentle aristocrats. There were men and women, and they were all dressed quite dignifiedly. The most important thing was that the men among them all wore black tuxedos, and the women wore Victorian-style costumes.
. Full of lace, gauze, ribbons, ruffles, bows, as well as multi-layered cake cutting, pleats, shirring and other elements, gorgeous and subtle.
In addition to these two groups of people talking and laughing, there are also a group of armed guards standing beside the wall. They wear short clothes and narrow sleeves, armed with belts, and carry a flintlock gun on their shoulder. They stand upright, like flagpoles and javelins.
Guns have actually been around for a long time. The most famous ones are the dwarf musket and the goblin musket. The former is only made by a small number of dwarves and is regarded as a secret of the dwarves; the latter is unreliable.
So much so that no one dares to use them. In addition, magic is the dominant force, so the development of thermal weapons in Mystery is not as enthusiastic as it is on Earth.
Precisely because guns are not taken seriously, there may not be many people who know these flintlock guns. Just seeing the magicians present talking and laughing freely, they did not look threatened at all. Someone guessed that they probably didn't know what was happening around them.
Those guards by the wall, what on earth are they carrying on their shoulders?
But to be honest, even if you know it, you can't scare the magician with the front-loaded flintlock gun. With a single shot, the number of people in front of you is not large enough, not to mention that there are more magicians here than guns.
.
Suppose you were dealing with yourself... If there were a row of tyrants holding Vulcan cannons standing against the wall, someone would definitely run away without saying a word. But a group of people who seemed to be quite energetic, but far from being truly elite.
The fusiliers who were some distance away might be able to stay and see what the other side was up to.
After standing at the door for a short time, the main inviter, Dharma Saint Babak? Abu Nahan came forward. First, he introduced the magicians around him. They were all Babak's relatives and friends, or these people.
His disciples and descendants.
After Lin greeted everyone one by one, the Dharma Saint said politely: "Your Excellency Tripwood, I finally see you again. The mathematical knowledge in the journals is getting more and more advanced. If you don't calm down and think carefully, you will still be confused.
I can’t figure it out. And those classic problems you left at the end are really unsolvable?”
Lin smiled and replied: "Your Excellency, Dharma Saint, as long as the question exists, how can it not have an explanation? There must be a reasonable answer, but I don't know it."
"How come, your understanding of mathematics is something that many people have to look up to. I took your journal and asked the old man who had a lot of white beards and everyone looked down on him. If you can't answer it either
, then who can do it?"
"The vast universe has endless mysteries. I am not omniscient and omnipotent. Your Majesty the Dharma Sage thinks highly of me. But knowledge that does not have answers today does not mean that there will not be answers tomorrow. We continue to improve our knowledge and cultivate the next generation of talents, isn't it?
I hope they can stand on our shoulders and move towards a higher place. In terms of educating talents, I am far inferior to you." Lin pointed at the group of monks surrounding Babak and said enviously.
"Easy to say." The Dharma Saint responded politely, suddenly put a familiar hand on someone's shoulder, and whispered: "I want to ask you secretly, did you really fight with that person?"
"That one? Who?"
Faced with such doubts, Babak Abunahan did not answer directly, but carefully made a sign of ten and then a four with his fingers. Only then did Lin guess that the other party might be referring to the fourteenth prince──
Azad Kazalnia said helplessly: "Yes, we really fought. I almost died at the hands of that noble man. It's really a fluke that I survived."
"Oh, you must tell me later how you did it." He let go of the hand on his shoulder and resumed the normal conversation distance. French Saint Babak Abunahan took Lin to a middle school
In front of the young gentleman, he said: "Let me introduce to you today's other guest, Mr. Ruan Wenyue from the Jialong Chamber of Commerce."
Although the years have left traces on his face, it is still full of wisdom. Paired with a well-tailored tuxedo and a shiny and elegant hairstyle, he is truly a gentleman who is impeccable even for a man.
He extended his right hand, which represented goodwill, and said in greeting: "Your Excellency, Tripwood, I have long admired you."
At the same time, there were young men and women standing behind him, either nodding or toasting.
