Rose was surprised. These ten airships were not toys, but real steel monsters. Although they were severely corroded due to age, the overall frame was still there. It was not easy to transport them all away.
"That's our business, you don't have to worry about it. You just need to know that their ownership belongs to us."
Karl admired the airships and wondered how much surplus value could be squeezed out of them. There was no need to think about repairs, because even the British Library of the Royal Empire of Britannia, which has the largest collection of books, did not have much about the era of the hobgoblins.
literature.
"You can study the structure of airships and see if there is any way to imitate them. Air force, what a gorgeous word!"
Want to sell antiques for money? The members of Green Day are all aristocratic children. The most indispensable thing is gold coins. What they value more is the military value of the airship.
"You want to go back on your word? Didn't you agree that whoever opens the magic lock will own the warehouse?" Hutao pointed the DV crystal at Karl, "You are so shameless!"
"We are talking about the upper level, not the lower level." Karl quibbled, applauding his wit in his heart, "Please pay attention to your wording, or I will fight with you."
"Come on, who's afraid of whom?"
The little loli wanted to beat him to death.
"Let them clamor, they can't take away the airship anyway." Jackson sneered, once the master's war space is opened, not even a hair will be left for you.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. Captain Rummenigge's space props can take them away." Karl shrugged, pretending to be helpless, making the members laugh.
Karl was not boasting, but the captain's space equipment could only take away one airship at a time. But even so, it was already a priceless magical treasure, so he was not worried at all that Downton would take away the airship. These
Even if a bumpkin from a third-rate country has space props, they probably only have a few cubic meters.
Downton ignored this guy at all. He kept communicating with Homer: "Are there detailed construction drawings of these airships in the Great Library?"
"No, there are only some records." The ancient magic books are not omnipotent. Some civilizations that disappeared in the long history of history were either destroyed by war or by violence and could not be preserved.
"What a pity." Downton lamented that it seemed impossible to repair them, and his dream of the air force was shattered.
"There is no way. Drawings of military weapons like this are very precious. In order to keep them secret. There is very little information in the world, and not many people know about it. Naturally, even less can be passed down."
The rarer the knowledge, the more valuable it is. This is why in the later stages, rare books must be donated to the Great Library in order to increase the reading authority. Relying on this rule, the Great Library has its current scale. This represents
It is the result of the efforts of hundreds of generations of elites and the accumulation of tens of thousands of years.
"Everything in here has been emptied. There is nothing!"
Hutao lay on the window and looked inside the cabin, his disappointment palpable.
An airship can carry up to twenty people, and the internal space is not large. It was looted when it was first captured by the natives. Later, the dragons came in and looted a second time. Everything that could be moved was removed.
So it's almost empty inside.
A magician boarded the airship, but soon came out again, shaking his head at the deputy group, "Nothing was found!"
"Stop looking. You can't take them away even if you look at them. Hurry up and go to the next warehouse. There might be something good."
Uwe urged Downton.
"Let's go to the next warehouse!"
Downton took off the ring that had been transformed into a magic book, and took advantage of Lascelles' pause to put it into her hand.
The Death Banshee was stunned for a moment, understood what he meant, and deliberately fell behind.
"In the era of the hobgoblins, these short greenskins relied on technology to successfully create plane portals. In order to pass on the fire of race and sow civilization, as well as to collect knowledge and explore the world, they sent out a large number of goblin expeditions.
, ten steam airships, carrying 200 people, it is a standard expedition team." Homer explained the history to Downton.
The team of 200 people has a clear division of labor, including scholars responsible for scientific investigation, soldiers specializing in combat, and cooks to ensure that the goblins will not die due to acclimatization.
When a group of people left the warehouse, Celes, who was left behind, knocked on the ring and said, "Teacher Homer, please move quickly!"
The war door opened, and hundreds of elemental arms stretched out from the door, grabbing the steam airships and transporting them into space silently.
"What are you waiting for? Open the door!"
Uwe urged in a bad tone.
"Asshole, watch your tone!"
Jackson raised his crossbow, deliberately attracting everyone's attention and buying time for Celes.
"Why are you in a hurry? You can do whatever you want?" Downton frowned: "Otherwise, just shut up!"
Uwe was speechless, they really couldn't live without Downton.
"No, it can't be opened. This is too complicated. Let your arcanist take action!" Seeing Celes walking back quickly, Downton found an excuse and backed away.
Before opening the door, in order to keep it secret, the giant guards had blocked Downton with a human wall, so Carl never figured out how he cracked the magic lock.
The arcanist went up, but he was so badly beaten that he was so upset that he had no idea at all.
"Okay, if we find good things, they are all yours, and we'll have fun." Karl saw that the arcanist was absent-minded and gave up on him.
He estimated that the remaining warehouses must have been patronized by the dragons, and there should be no good things left. Even if there were, he could let the group leader rob them, and that would not count as breaking his promise.
Downton guessed what Carl was thinking, but he didn't care. Since the Dragon Man was here, he would definitely leave nothing behind.
"The dragon people are so abominable, I'm going to rob their tribe!"
Looking at the warehouse with almost nothing left, Hu Tao pouted in anger.
"Go to the third floor!"
Karl showed no mercy and led the team to the lower level.
Sepp greeted Downton and hurriedly chased him with his team.
"Why is he in such a hurry? He can't open the warehouse?" After they left, Toldo dared to sarcastically vent his dissatisfaction.
"Idiot, the treasury and treasure house must also be in the warehouse area. Generally speaking, such important places will be deep in the lowest level and strictly protected." Rose's qualifications and brains are pretty good. If she receives a better education,
, the family will definitely prosper in her generation.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go faster. What if they get ahead of us?" Sneijder shouted and walked a few steps faster, but when he saw that Downton and his party did not follow, he stopped again.
Being too weak also made him dare not stay away from the team.
"You don't seem to be worried about them robbing the treasury?" Looking at Downton's calm face, Charlotte was curious.
"The magic lock in the vault must be more complicated, and there must be guards. I don't want to run down and attract fire." Downton is not the kind of guy who goes crazy when he sees the treasure. He always maintains his sense and puts the safety of his team members first.
Important tasks.
"When venturing into a secret realm, you should maintain a sense of normalcy. You are great!" Xian Lang praised, "We just felt the magic fluctuations. Did you take those steam airships away?"
"Yeah!" Listening to Charlotte's voice, Downton felt relieved.
"Well done. There are many goblins living in the Dragon Hills, and there may be tribes that continue the hobgoblin civilization. Although the chance is relatively small, you can give it a try." Charlotte smiled, "When the airship is repaired,
, we want to rent one!”
"No problem!" Downton agreed without any hesitation.
Downton walked down the steps and saw that the corridor on the third floor was wider. There were no warehouses on both sides, but stone walls carved with murals.
Carl and Sepp were in a hurry to find the treasure house, but they had disappeared, leaving only the sound of dense footsteps.
"Let's hurry up too, shall we?"
Hu Tao is not afraid of any guards, she just wants to find the treasure quickly and satisfy her curiosity.
Boom! Boom!
Suddenly there was a thumping sound in the corridor. Before anyone could figure out what it was, screams and exclamations suddenly began, and then the footsteps became more rapid.
"There really is a monster!"
The heartless Hutao didn't feel scared at all. He stood on tiptoes and put up the awning with his hands to look around.
"Build your defenses and prepare for battle!"
Downton walked to the front, and following his orders, the giants guarded both sides of him, acting as human shields to protect the magic system behind him.
The screams continued, but the first person to retreat was a man riding a griffon.
"Flying mount?"
Rose exclaimed, because flying magical beasts are difficult to capture and tame, and there are very few suitable mounts, so flying familiar mounts are extremely expensive, each costing at least 10 million gold marks.
Therefore, even the nine empires do not have enough air force to maintain a certain number of flying formations to perform duties such as scouting and vigilance.
Gryphons have the appearance and sharp claws of a lion, but have an eagle head and eagle wings. They are elite flying monsters and the earliest flying mounts used on a large scale in the human kingdom. But 10,000 years ago
During the Sixth Holy War, a sudden epidemic killed the griffins in an instant. Their number dropped sharply to a few hundred, and they were even on the verge of extinction. If it had not been for the invention of the vaccine by the great master of holy potions, Jenner, the entire griffin population would have been wiped out.
All species in the eagle lineage will disappear.
The griffin population survived, but due to the attack of the disease, unknown mutations occurred in the genes, the mortality rate of the offspring was extremely high, and mutations often occurred, the survival rate was very low, and they became no longer docile, so
The difficulty of domestication has increased sharply, and it has gradually withdrawn from the stage of human flying mounts.
The griffin that appears in everyone's field of vision is twice as big as the lion. The authentic one should have golden hair and feathers, but this one is completely white, and its eyes are strange dark red, as if it has been covered with red eyes after not sleeping for many days.
Bloodshot.
The griffin was injured, one of its claws was cut off, and there was a wound on its body with blood spilled on it. Therefore, it could not maintain a stable flying posture, and its wings frequently hit the wall. (To be continued...)
