"I'm not a monster, I'm a dragon!" Lin puffed up her cheeks and protested half-jokingly, "Speaking of which, you don't look like a monster either. Are you an Inil person who lives around here?"
"Huh? Which eye did you use to see that I look like an Yinir?" The short man blew his beard and glared, "I am a Gurno who must change the entire continent! The Yinir...
How can a stupid guy like the Neil people understand our great pursuit!"
"That's right." Yuffie looked at the man in front of her with interest, "You are indeed not speaking the language of the Inir people. Do you know its origin?"
"That goes without saying!" The man clasped his hands on his chest and raised his head slightly proudly, "This is the language passed down by our ancestors. Legend has it that it was brought here from the other end of the ocean. I think,
It is much more elegant than the language of Yinir and monsters!"
Sure enough, the 'Gernos' in front of them are not the aborigines of this continent, but immigrants who came here from the Aiur continent. However, there is no so-called Gelno in the Aiur continent where they are located.
The Kamal language of the Nuo clan cannot be used to judge the origin of the other party. When they were still in their era, this language had a status that was almost a 'continental lingua franca'.
Is this an inherent difference between the two worlds, or has some change occurred in the river of time that she is not yet aware of?
"If that's the case..." The girl looked at the man seriously and asked the next question, "Do you know when and how your people came here from another continent? And for what reason?"
"Then I don't know. Anyway... it must have happened before I was born!" The man spread his hands with an innocent look on his face, "You have so many problems - okay, now I want to find a place to rest.
Where is the nearest village?”
"It's about fifty miles to the north, but I'm not sure about the south." Lin replied easily. She used the distance unit of the Far East Continent. Each mile is approximately equivalent to 600 meters of the Ayr Continent. "What are you planning to do?
Just walk over like this?"
"Of course - no!" Noka smiled proudly, raised his head to look at the sky, and shook his head, "But it's too late now, and accidents are easy to happen while rushing, so I'd better make do with one night here."
He held his chin and thought for a moment, "By the way, thank you for helping me. My name is Noka Bulb Main, and I am a rune craftsman! What do you want in return?"
It was the first time they heard this word. Obviously, it should have some connection with the 'rune track' they had heard about.
"Sounds pretty good." Lin raised her eyebrows curiously, "What is that for? For example...making the thing you were sitting on that exploded just now?"
"That's called an 'airplane'!" Noka jumped on the ground dissatisfied, "That's the latest product of Rune Technology, it's not an 'explosion' - of course, further improvements and experiments are needed before it can
Just put it into practical use!”
"So, what are the benefits of 'airplane'? Is the teleportation spell more convenient than it?" Lin blinked and asked. She did not mention the possibility of the star realm being closed, because this continent has never had such a situation.
experience.
"Teleportation can only be used by alchemists or talented monsters. Handheld teleportation instruments are being developed, but the progress is very slow!" Noka immediately replied, obviously very concerned about the evaluation of his work, "And once this 'airplane' is completed
, anyone can control or ride it to travel quickly to various places, and the speed is three times faster than the current rune train! Well... of course the cost is much higher."
It seemed that this was one of the forms she expected to see after the secret magic became popular. Yuffie turned her gaze to Lin, and the blond girl quickly understood what she meant and nodded slightly in agreement.
"What we want in return is -" Lin prolonged her voice slightly, and waited until Noka turned her eyes before continuing, "Are you going back to the south? We happen to be traveling too, so let's
How about traveling with you for a while?"
"Oh...I understand, you are interested in rune technology, right? No wonder, you are alchemists." Noka nodded as if he suddenly understood, "Okay, no problem. But I traveled by flying.
Yes, as long as you can keep up!"
"Don't worry - then rest first, Mr. Noka. Let's set off tomorrow." Lin replied with satisfaction.
…
The next morning, the three simply ate some dry food and packed their bags. Immediately, Yuffie and Lin saw what the 'flying' Noka was talking about was about.
He took out a folded, strange-looking metal frame from his backpack - the backpack was said to also use rune technology and was similar to the dimensional bags made by wizards, and could hold objects much larger than they appeared.
Noka carried it behind his back, tied the various straps on it to his body, then raised his hand and pressed a button on the left bracket.
The metal frame suddenly unfolded outwards, and Yuffie could see clearly that between each two adjacent metal bars, there was a layer of tough but thin film. The frame stretched out to resemble bat wings, but the edges were more angular.
It has a clear shape, and then flapping vigorously, taking the little Gurno man, it quickly and steadily rises into the air.
"I'm leaving!" Noka shouted in the air, "Hurry up and follow me!"
This was not a problem for Yuffie and Lin. They climbed onto Grace's back, and the gryphon took a few steps, rose into the air, and followed Noka steadily. The speed of the flying device was much slower than yesterday's machine.
——Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the reason for falling yesterday is that Grace can follow the other party's progress without spending too much effort.
"It's pretty good!" Noka looked at the two people and the griffon beside him with satisfaction, "So, in which direction is the village to the south?"
"Probably this way." Lin pointed to the south-southeast location, "However, I heard that there seems to be some problems in the southern part of the alliance recently. We are here to investigate those. You have to be careful."
"Don't worry!" Noka patted his chest, which caused his flying device to swing from side to side. "In the name of our ancestor, the Gurno people are never afraid of danger! Well, if you happen to encounter it, let me help.
If you solve the so-called problem, consider it as repaying the favor you received yesterday!"
Although Noka used a word full of Far Eastern Continent flavor, he was obviously referring to the founder of 'Rune Technology'. Whoever that was, in the girl's eyes, it meant that his achievements were enough to be forever recognized.
Remembered by history.
"Who is your 'ancestor'?" the pink girl couldn't help but ask, "Is he also from Gerno?"
"That's not true." Noka shrugged, seeming a little regretful about this, "His name is Alphonse. That's right, it's the legendary great craftsman, Alphonse Blystein, Talisman
