Floating island is a very special terrain.
Even if the magic civilization has been developed, people still can not analyze the principle of floating island, there are only a variety of conjectures.
For example, "there are special minerals that can provide buoyancy in the strata of the floating island." for example, "because the wind elements nearby formed a special arrangement by coincidence, which provided magic like ability," the ancient heritage theory that "in fact, the floating island was the product of human civilization in the last era.".
If someone can really find the principle of floating island floating, it may cause a change in the magic ship and even the whole magic world. However, no matter what kind of statement, there is something that cannot be explained. All in all, the reason why these large and small stones can float in mid air is still a mystery.
Although very rare in some places, there are several floating island groups in the eastern plain.
There are also different types of them - from 20 to 30 centimeters above the ground, from the size of a table tennis ball to the size of a huge city.
In the Huolian Empire, there was also a large floating island group, which was located in the southwest of quelling province.
"This one..."
"Alphonse."
"Oh, Mr. Alphonse." "Are you really going to buy the floating island?" said a bamboo looking man in a baron's costume, rubbing his hands and smiling
It is said that this Baron surnamed mace used to be a grand duke in his ancestors, but because of his long-standing achievements, he inherited the title and was gradually reduced by the royal family. In his generation, the original vast land has become a floating island that can only be seen and can't be used. The land under the empty island can't get sunshine all the year round because of the huge empty islands above, so it can't grow crops. Except for moss and some shade plants, it can be described as barren.
No one to settle down means that there is no tax revenue. If there is no tax income, you can only earn your old money, and you can't pay the rated tax like the royal family. Ming Ming still has a huge Castle inherited from his ancestors, but he has become a declining aristocrat. In addition, the amount is not huge, but he can't afford the tax because he has accumulated a little. If nothing happens, their noble life will only last to him. Even these useless floating island fiefs will be mortgaged for those taxes Take it back.
He was ready to spend his whole life in such a muddle, but at this moment, a young man in a black robe and a hood appeared in front of him and said that he would buy the title deed of those floating islands.
How can this make him not be overjoyed?
"Of course."
The man who claims to be Alphonse and wants to buy the floating island is naturally SIVI who has completed the task copy [Xinghai relics].
In addition to the magic bluff, Sylvie learned the two ring arcane magic of "active ether" and "repulsion" at two other lights. In addition, it has passed the customs clearance of "Xinghai relic" according to the S-level rating. In addition to a large amount of resources that can be counted as rich, Xiwei has also obtained the construction drawings of "star vein furnace", "airport" and "Olympic energy engine".
The task has been renewed again, and it has officially entered the stage of college construction. However, from the perspective of the task, we have to get the floating island before we can start the construction of the college.
Although it may be possible to find an uninhabited floating island in some inaccessible wilderness, the randomness of the island is too great, and it takes a lot of time and energy.
When we know that the night aristocrats are trying to revive the demons, the worst of which is to revive the ancient demons, time is obviously more precious than money. In case of war, even if they do not want to, they will be involved in the war no matter where they hide, unless they leave their homes and escape from the eastern plains.
Therefore, the establishment of the college as soon as possible has become the top priority at present.
"Is that the biggest empty island for sale?"
Now that he had made a decision, SIVI was not affectated, and immediately asked.
The largest empty island he was referring to was located in the middle of the quelling island chain. It looked like an inverted hill. It was flat and had a huge area. However, the most interesting thing was that there was a castle in the middle of the island which looked very grand, even compared with the Huolian National Academy of magic.
"Of course. Mr. Alphonse, you have a good eye Although he was still puzzled about how to call Sylvie, who was dressed like a sorcerer's robe and a noble's cloak, Zhugan man immediately said: "the castle on the island is a castle handed down from my family. It was built by employing the most famous craftsman at that time and built with the best stones. Even after hundreds of years of wind and rain, it will not be damaged at all! What's more, there are all kinds of furniture in it. You can move in as soon as you clean it up a little! "
It's not that the bamboo man doesn't have a trace of nostalgia for his family castle, but the problem is that it's built on an empty island. How can an ordinary man live in a luxurious castle with a distance of 30 meters from the ground?If his family is still as prosperous as ever, renting or even buying a magic ship can solve the problem. But now, let alone renting a magic ship, he can't afford the fuel cost of sailing every day
Although he had some savings at home before, he had also tried to build a bridge or ladder from the ground to the empty Island, but after a period of observation, he found that the floating island was not always in place, but would move in a small range. This discovery made him Spartan all the time - if the bridge was built, it would be the next day How to break the bridge directly and fly to other places?
Finally, the bamboo pole man had to give up, looking at the castle that he could not reach every day.
Now SIVI asked, and he agreed to sell the castle, which witnessed his family's glory, because he couldn't use it anyway. Instead of hanging around all the time, he agreed to sell the castle that witnessed his family's glory.
"Those who have not need to say, just talk about how much money." Sylvie didn't want to argue with each other. He asked straightforwardly.
"Then, four hundred gold coins!" The bamboo pole man bit his teeth, and the lion opened his mouth: "as long as 400 gold coins, the island and the castle will belong to you together!"
Different from some novels which often have tens of millions of gold coins, the gold coins in this world are relatively valuable. Some families with a little poverty will not even see a gold coin in their lifetime. In addition to magic goods and various luxury goods, the main circulation in the market is only copper and silver coins.
If it's on the ground, it doesn't matter if it's on the ground for a large castle and land. However, the problem lies in the floating island.
"Well, you shouldn't be naive enough to think that I don't know anything about the market of floating island and buy it?" SIVI squints and stares at each other coldly, making the bamboo man uncomfortable.
"Well, why does Mr. Alphonse say that..."
"First of all, there is no water source on the floating island. In addition to waiting for the rain, you can only transport or hire magicians who are good at water elemental magic through magic boats, and they have to be high-level ones. After all, many water elemental magic made before were elemental water that could not be drunk." Sylvie sneered and without hesitation, he revealed the fact that the bamboo pole man wanted to hide: "secondly, because of the stronger wind and lower temperature than the ground on the floating island, the vegetation growth is very little. From that floating island, we can see that most of the plants outside the castle are knee length ferns and shrubs, not even a tree! In addition, there are a lot of other materials transportation, as well as the floating island garbage disposal need to hire extra manpower and magic boat, Castle care costs are not cheap, equivalent to a lot of expenses. Do you sell me 400 gold coins in such a place? This makes me very suspicious of your sincerity. To tell you the truth, I bought the floating island just for freshness. I don't mind if you don't want to sell it! "
"Well, don't say that, Mr. Alphonse. Take it easy. I'm just joking with you The actual price is three, no, 250 gold coins only! "
After being hit by severance, the unfortunate Baron hesitated to offer a new price.
Sylvie first pretended to meditate for a moment. In the uneasy eyes of the other party, he held out three fingers and shook them in front of the opposite side: "I can give you 300 gold coins, but you have to sell me the smaller floating islands around you!"
"Ah? This... "
"No? That's fine. " Sylvie swung his sleeve. Without nostalgia, he turned around and left, but before he took a few steps, Baron Zhugan stopped him in a hurry.
"Sell! Of course The bamboo pole male accompanies smiling face - although this pair of smiling face looks more like crying face no matter how to look at it - repeatedly said.
Although I always feel that the price is too cheap, and I have suffered a great loss, but after all, it is the buyer's market now. I can't wait for my mouth to talk. In case the God of wealth is gone, I really have to go and drink. It's better to have money than not to have money, isn't it?
Besides, it's useless to keep the floating island. It's better to sell it to a guy who looks like a rich family's son more than a magician, and exchange some money.
After receiving the contract for a few times, Alfred made a fuss about it. After that, Alfred agreed with the other party and said that he didn't want to sign the contract The title deed of seven floating islands and a castle. (to be continued.
