Chapter 186 Yulia

The Winged People are a strange race. Parvatiga is recognized as one of the strangest races, and is also recognized as the least responsible race.

A life span of 400 years is not too long. It stands to reason that every individual should have a sense of urgency that life is short. Although they are not busy running around all day like humans, they should not waste time like elves and dragons.

However, they like to waste time more than elves. Almost every individual likes to devote their limited life to unlimited enjoyment.

In the eyes of these strange and random creatures, performing unchanging mechanical work is simply the most terrifying torture. For example, the daily routine maintenance of the floating city is already the limit of endurance for them. It lasts for a full three hours. , carrying out boring labor day after day, this is really terrible, but there is no way, for everyone's home, they can only endure it.

Novel things and a fresh environment can attract their interest. Compared with mechanical work, a flexible life is more suitable for them. They can uncover secrets and explore the unknown. Even if they pay sweat, blood or even death, they will never tire of it.

What they want is a job where they can face new things every day. Taking adventures in shadows and exploring secret places is the job that everyone longs for. Traveling around the world and doing business is also a good job. It's okay to open a small store in a city. You can personally be responsible for the reception and face different faces every day. This can at least satisfy their sense of novelty.

It is precisely because of this that the Yi people are willing to take risks and run these shops in the towns under the city. They have the opportunity to observe the travelers coming and going, watch or listen, and share new stories from their journeys, satisfying the Yi people's natural curiosity. heart and desire for novelty.

Mercenaries who often pass by know that even if they are running a store, these casual wingmen have little patience. Within a few days, the store operators will be replaced. The old operators do not know when they will start. He went to play elsewhere, and a certain store was closed. Soon, a new operator would happily occupy the empty building and reopen it.

Many sociologists have secretly analyzed that the Winged Human Race has never been able to dominate the world, so that it began to decline in the chaotic era. It is because of their casual personality. Based on their physical characteristics, racial achievements will be much higher than they are now.

However, the Winged People themselves sneer at similar analyses. We are very happy, unrestrained, carefree, and enjoying the joys of life. If we lose these, can we still be considered free Winged People?Racial achievement?Don't you feel tired?If you like to care about such serious things, just go ahead and care about it yourself. We just want to live a happy life.

Even if there is another world war, at worst we will all retreat to the deserted wilderness like we did at the end of the Chaos Era. No matter how powerful you are, all races combined cannot control more than half of the Parvatiga land. Do you think we will? Worried?

Most races cannot understand it, but they cannot refute it. The cultural differences between races are so great that it is impossible to reach an agreement.

However, the scholars are at least right about one thing. If the talent of the Yiyi people continues to develop in a certain field, they can often achieve considerable achievements.

Yulia is one example.

A well-known master of magic, the proposer and leader of the third Magic Colossus improvement plan, and a researcher of terrain detectors for high-altitude operations (eventually failed). She personally has countless auras in the field of magic and has won countless awards. Qing's reputation.

The family power behind her is even more powerful. The Gil Seles family, as one of the branches of the ancient Gil family of the Winged Tribe, has been passed down for more than 1000 years.The Seles family has lived in the Brilliant City for generations and secretly controlled the surrounding commercial activities, thus accumulating a large amount of wealth and playing a decisive role in the Brilliant City.

As for Yulia, the current patriarch of the Gilceles family, 120 years ago, as soon as she took office, she overcame all objections and used the wealth accumulated by the family for generations to start building the latest research result in magic - an aerostat.

The construction of an aerostat is not as easy as imagined, especially 120 years ago. At that time, this achievement was only on paper and the finished product had never appeared. It was the Gilceles family who was the first to do it. Theory becomes reality.

Because people have money.

To build an aerostat requires countless precious resources, a large amount of manpower and material support, and countless failed attempts.However, despite constant opposition within the family, Yulia persisted, and 90 years ago, she produced the world's first finished aerostat.The academic world of magic was in an uproar. It was hard to imagine that a scholar-type woman could have such strong execution ability.

Because people have money.

Since then, the airship has become a symbol of the Brilliant City. Even other winged humans have floating cities, let alone other races. When mentioning the airship, people will instinctively think of the Brilliant City and Gilselei. Si family.Of course, since the aerostat was only a paper theory at that time, the design idea itself was flawed, its practicality was not high, and it could not bring about monetary returns.But for the Gilceles family, the gains in reputation are enough to make up for the financial gap. Some elders of the family even admitted that it would be worth spending twice as much money, which shows that the family really does not care about this huge financial loss.

Because they are very rich. "How resentful are you for this sentence?" Even Yulia's city couldn't stand Shuer's complaint anymore, and she protested in a dumbfounded voice, "When I introduce you to your precious sister, I can't do it properly. Compliment me? In less than 2 minutes, you have already said this three times."

"Five hundred gold coins, go away." Xiuer gritted his teeth. He had always been the only one who cheated others. But two years ago, he actually agreed to treat her to dinner because he was so complacent. As a result, she cheated her out of five hundred gold coins. The most disgusting thing is that this guy also... It was an understatement, as if it was just a light meal.

Well, it seemed that to her, maybe it was just an ordinary meal, at least by banquet standards.The problem was that it was different for Shuer. At that time, he had no personal savings, and the temple's funds had long since bottomed out. Five hundred gold coins was really a stretch, and he had to let everyone eat ten of them. After a few days of dry bread, I could barely turn around the funds.

"Yeah, dry bread, go away." Lady Lisa also nodded frequently. Lady Lisa will remember this for a lifetime.

"Hehehehe, okay, okay, it was just a little joke at the beginning. You can't blame me. Who knew that you have the backing of the temple of the true god, but you even care about this little money. Speaking of which, you are really poor. …Oops, the little guy glared at me again, okay, it’s my fault, as an apology, can I treat you to a potluck dinner today?”

Small money?Don't be kidding, in the world of ordinary people, for [-] gold coins, there might be tableware where father and son turn against brother and brother. Even in the eyes of nobles, [-] gold coins are a few months' income.Like Dak's dark mercenary group, ten people worked hard for ten days on this mission, which means a few hundred gold coins in income. Counting expenses and labor, a profit of two hundred gold coins would be very good, five hundred gold coins?Only a thousand-year-old family like Gilceles could have the confidence to speak like this.

But that's not the point, the point is...

"It's just a simple meal of five hundred gold coins?" Xiuer immediately threw aside his hatred, "Is it okay to discount it?"

"Where's your face?"

"After spending five hundred gold coins, I have nothing to eat and I sold it."

"Stay away, the smell of poverty makes me breathless."

Amid the noisy joking, a group of people, led by Yulia, entered the ground office of the Floating City.

According to regulations, if you want to enter the floating city, you need to undergo strict review. Without sufficient reasons, entry is not allowed.However, it was Xiure's plan to enter the city, and he had good reasons.

As an envoy of the Dark Moon Temple, I was officially invited by the Water Temple through the Lion City to participate in the Water Curtain Festival ceremony as a distinguished guest.This status is enough for the Water Temple or the Emerald Empire to bear the expenses for the mission to take the aerospace boat to complete the last three days of the journey in the safest way. And to take the aerospace boat, they must enter the Brilliant Capital.

A very good reason, but unfortunately completely useless.

At this time, we can see the status of the Gilselais family in the Brilliant Capital. When she led a group of people into the office, Yulia just nodded to the Wingmen staff without even saying a word. As a result, those The wingmen acted as if they hadn't seen anything and let everyone pass between them and walked directly into the backyard of the office.Not only people, but also two carriages and nine wind-splitting beasts entered the backyard from the side door, and the journey was smooth.

The backyard of the office is very spacious, with a storage area for vehicles and goods on one side. After all, taking a carriage to the floating city is a very unethical thing no matter how you think about it. If you don't want to be kicked off the floating city by the winged people, you should give up. This idea is good.Therefore, most people choose to store their luggage in the office. Anyway, there is no need to worry about safety and it only costs a small amount of storage fees.

Abandoning the carriage, I felt relaxed, especially the two children, who were freed from the shackles of the carriage and really wanted to run wildly. Unfortunately, when the devil-like bad priest glared at them, the two little guys withered and hid in the tower in grievance. Lin Na was trembling behind her.As for Linda and McCree?A young noble from a small city has never seen such a strange scene. He has not yet recovered from the shock of the floating city. He probably doesn't even know what he is doing.

In the middle of the backyard is a huge circular platform with enough area for dozens of people to stand on it.Yulia led everyone onto the platform and nodded to the four operators around her. Then a light curtain rose from the edge of the platform, blocking the view of the passengers and blocking the cold wind from the outside world.

There was a shaking under the feet, and the pull of gravity clearly told everyone that the platform had risen and was flying towards the floating city.
