Chapter 78 Familiar Names(1/2)
Why did the Witros Empire have such strict restrictions on foreign magicians?
It turned out that forty years ago, Cyril, the current Emperor of the Witros Empire, had just married his lover Heloise... A pair of people who love each other are about to become relatives.
Another nobleman, Dick, who also loved Heloise, actually invited a group of magicians from abroad and assassinated them at the wedding ceremony.
In this assassination, Emperor Cyril survived by chance, but his lover Heloise fell into his arms and left him forever.
From then on, Emperor Cyril not only vowed to avenge his enemies, but also imposed very strict restrictions on the magicians entering the empire, and even drove out a group of people indiscriminately.
Now that these restrictions have not been lifted, the strict surveillance and the seven-day deadline have forced Zhou Ming to seize the time and come up with a solution to get the recommendation letter.
However, in the huge city of Nirata, there are only a few elders of the Magic Association. It is already quite difficult to pull up their line and ask them to help write a letter and do it within seven days.
In fact, there is another way.
That is to gain the trust and appreciation of Emperor Cyril and to be qualified to be a member of the nationality of the Witros Empire.
Only by becoming a member of the Witros Empire can you live freely here.
But this method is more difficult than getting a letter of recommendation. After all, the emperor is not that easy to meet. Even if he obtains the naturalization qualification, he must enter the Imperial Mage Group and serve the Empire for three years and perform well in all aspects to become a glorious Witros Empire.
So the second method is completely eliminated by Zhou Ming.
He could only find a way to get a recommendation letter.
How to do it?
Money opens the way.
In order to explore this continent, Zhou Ming was not unprepared.
The magic crystal card he carries contains 50 million gold coins... a single one has not been spent at present.
Among the four 1 cubic space rings worn on his hand (he had a total of 8 space rings, four of them himself, and gave one to Teacher Sails, two of them, and one to his wife, and one to the old fox) there were more than 5,000 bottles of various magic potions, hundreds of magic scrolls, and a large number of materials... The total value of these things is more than 100 million gold coins.
So Zhou Ming has the capital to use money to open the way.
In addition, Zhou Ming has a very good relationship with the Mainland Chamber of Commerce. He is a strategic partner of the Mainland Chamber of Commerce, so he can also use the connections of the Mainland Chamber of Commerce to provide convenience for himself.
So in the next five days, through a series of magical operations, after smashing millions of gold coins, Zhou Ming put three lines on it.
Successfully established a channel of contact with three elders of the Magic Society.
Two of the elders knew their names, and one was not named.
In addition, the specific needs of these three elders were also investigated.
The first elder named Mirons is raising funds recently to build a wizard tower that belongs to him, which costs about 500 million gold coins. Zhou Ming wanted to ask him to write a letter of recommendation, but he had to provide about 50 million gold coins for sponsorship, and the other party agreed to help.
Otherwise, no talk.
"Writing a recommendation letter will collect 50 million gold coins, this is not..."
Henry was shocked. Isn’t this a lion’s mouth? Just a letter, how dare you charge so much money?
Zhou Ming shook his head. For a magician who entered the legendary realm, millions or tens of millions of gold coins are nothing, it is just a number. The more you collect, the less you collect, the key depends on his mood. If he is in a bad mood, he will pay 50 million or 100 million. If he was in a good mood at the time, it would be possible to collect 5 million or 10 million.
Obviously, this elder has a bad temper and it will cost a huge price to ask him for help.
The second elder is named Reynold. He is a little easier to talk to. He is a master-level pharmacist. He has been preparing the legendary [Dragon Blood Potion] recently. He is preparing the blood of the real dragon, which can greatly improve the swordsman's physique. However, since the success rate of this medicine is not high, after many failures, the true dragon blood on his hand is used up, and now he needs to supplement a batch of true dragon blood.
If Zhou Ming can help him get some real dragon blood, Reynold promised to write him the letter of recommendation.
"The blood of the true dragon, do you want me to kill the dragon?"
Zhou Ming shook his head. Most of the dragon clans today live on Dragon Island east of the East China Sea. They are even further away than going to the Magic City. Fire No. 1 will fly at least two years.
Moreover, the dragon is very strong. Some dragons have strong physical attack power and can be immune to magic attacks; some magic dragons, the strength of adult bodies, are basically above the legend level, and there are also those at the forbidden spell mage and Dharma Saint level.
With Zhou Ming's current strength, going to Long Island to explore is simply seeking death.
Therefore, Zhou Ming could not fulfill the request of the second elder.
but……
Zhou Ming could do the request made by the third elder without being named.
It can even be done better!
Because the elder asked: to buy a top-end version of the "flying backpack".
good.
Flying backpack.
Using the principle of the Wind Demon engine, Zhou Ming's flight backpack that he had tinkered in the Doran Empire spread to the Witros Empire a few years ago and became a flying device that is widely popular among magicians.
And in Niyata City, the largest production agency for flying backpacks is the Mainland Chamber of Commerce.
Even the second-generation flight backpack launched by the Mainland Chamber of Commerce can be clearly seen that a large number of them originated from Zhou Ming’s design ideas.
So when I first received this demand, Zhou Ming and the others were a little overjoyed. Isn’t this God helping them?
However, the elder also made a hard request: "The flight backpack I want, whether in the sky or on the ground, must be faster than all flight backpacks!"
no problem.
No problem at all.
With the help of the system's huge computing power, Zhou Ming only spent one day improving 36 points on a top-end version of the flight backpack, which not only achieved weight loss of 11%, but also increased the maximum speed of air flight by 22%, and increased the maximum speed of ground movement by 17%.
Moreover, Zhou Ming did not spend a penny, and his improvements were priceless in the eyes of technical engineers of the Mainland Chamber of Commerce.
...
Summer year, January 20.
Zhou Ming and the others can legally stay in Niyata City for the last day.
When the improved version of the top-end flight backpack was sent to the elder's home, Zhou Ming and the others could only wait for news.
...
In the north of the city, there is a Gothic-style independent villa with an average number of floors exceeding five floors.
"Ding Dong~"
After the magic doorbell rang, the servant opened the door.
"This is a gift given to the elders of the Chamber of Commerce by the Chamber of Commerce. Please accept it." A person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce of China handed over the gift box in his hand.
"Okay." The servant took the gift.
In the afternoon, a man in his forties in the laboratory on the third floor finally came out after finishing his work.
The servant quickly reported to him: the people from the Mainland Chamber of Commerce sent a gift.
"Oh, they're sending the 'fastest' flight backpack?"
Terry Ganes' eyes lit up and asked the servant to bring the gift. Then he took the gift and walked up to the top floor, unpacked the gift box, took out the flying backpack inside, which was so exquisitely crafted that he was amazed, and couldn't wait to put the flying backpack on himself and conducted a test.
See if it is the fastest "flying backpack"?
After more than an hour of testing.
Return to the roof of the villa.
Terry Ganes smiled a flower on his face.
"Winny will like it."
"She will definitely like this birthday gift!"
"I bet that without that set of flying backpacks, it can fly out of its speed so fast!"
Terry Ganes was extremely satisfied. His great-granddaughter was about to turn 27. He has been thinking about what gifts to give to his great-granddaughter these days, but his great-granddaughter has a good eye for him. He doesn't like all kinds of good-looking blessing gems and magic gems. He doesn't particularly like it.
Considering that she has been practicing magic skills over the years and has been working hard to improve her speed, Terry Ganes thought to give her great-granddaughter a set of flying backpacks that she claimed to be "flying the fastest", as her birthday gift, she will definitely like it very much.
However, as a senior elder of the Magic Society, Terry Ganes never easily accepts gifts from others and rarely helps unrelated people. It is his fair and selfless personality that has made him serve as the elder of the Magic Society for six consecutive terms.
But he accepted the gift today, and he was willing to be busy with the other party's "little busyness". As long as he wins his great-granddaughter's smile, what is it that he gives up a little principle?
really.
It's time tonight.
After completing a day of study at Niyata High School of Magic, Winnie returned home.
Various birthday gifts were placed in front of her.
My parents, grandfather and great-grandfather were all at home and offered their blessings.
Only then did she realize that today was her birthday.
From today on, she is 27 years old.
Mother Olivi gave her a magic costume doll with a princely appearance and nagged: "Daughter, you are not young anymore, it's time to find a prince that belongs to you."
Winnie was too lazy to pay attention.
My father Innis gave her a magic robe, which has powerful waterproof and fire resistance, and has strong defense. He reminded her: "You often compete with others in the ring, so you must pay attention to safety."
Winnie nodded.
