Chapter 92: People from the Royal Capital
According to Gao De's expectation, from the news being conveyed, to the superiors receiving the news, making a decision, and then sending people, plus the time on the road, it would take some time before he could see the support from the Royal Capital.
The facts were not so.
In the evening.
Less than two hours had passed since Gao De got the specific news from Pierre.
A buzzing sound from far to near and with a fixed frequency sounded over Bremen City.
The sound was so loud that Gao De, like most Bremen residents, subconsciously poked his head out to check the situation.
Either opening the door or opening the window, looking up and watching.
A terrifying behemoth was now emerging from the clouds, appearing over Bremen City.
All the Bremen people who looked up to find the source of the sound, including Gao De, opened their mouths wide, staring blankly at the thing that appeared in the sky.
It was an airship.
An airship that most Bremen people had never seen before was abruptly hovering at an altitude of over two hundred meters.
The flat, streamlined airship could minimize wind resistance to the maximum extent.
The narrow and long hull was over three hundred meters long, shimmering with silver light, and covered with dense magic patterns.
These patterns were complex and mysterious, the soul of the airship, endowing it with extraordinary power.
Looking from below, it was like a silver fish with strange patterns swimming in the sea of clouds.
The two sides of the hull extended and unfolded two auxiliary wings, like the elegant wings of a bird, providing the airship with extra lift and maneuverability.
At the tail of the airship and on the two auxiliary wings, huge propeller thrusters were installed.
And at the tail of the airship, the logo of the Xi En Principality was also painted.
That fixed and deep buzzing sound came from these propellers.
They were constantly rotating, stirring up bursts of airflow, making the surrounding clouds roll, like waves tossing in the ocean.
Clearly, this was an airship from Saint Xi En City.
As for the purpose, it was obvious, no need to say more.
In short, this was the first time many Bremen people had seen a large alchemical creation like an "airship" in their lives.
It could also be considered benefiting from the "newly born ley line."
The arrival of the airship made the entire Bremen City boil.
Bremen City residents were all calling each other out to witness the big scene.
And this airship was just quietly hovering over the city square of Bremen, motionless.
A few minutes later, a large number of fully armed Bremen city guards arrived at the city square.
The city guard officer with a serious face ordered the soldiers to disperse the crowd near the city square and sent people to blockade the city square and a small area nearby, setting up barriers.
Then, several temporary, fixed anchor points were built on the citizen square,
After doing all this, they sent a signal to the airship above.
After receiving the signal, the personnel on the airship immediately threw several huge ropes out of the airship.
After the ground personnel received the huge mooring ropes thrown by the airship, they began to get busy.
They had to connect these mooring ropes to the anchor points temporarily set up on the ground.
After all this was done, the airship began to release the gas in the bulkhead airbags, descending slowly at a steady speed.
With the lowering of the airship's altitude, its shadow became larger and larger, bringing a large area of shadow, almost covering the entire city square.
Fortunately, the crowd had already retreated to a safe distance under the guidance of the city guards.
The airship finally landed steadily, and the dull buzzing sound emitted by the propellers gradually subsided.
Accompanied by a roar, the cabin door on the side of the airship slowly opened. Then, a magic user wearing a dark magic robe and holding a magic staff walked out slowly.
Complex and fine runes were embroidered on his magic robe, which contained powerful magical power.
The top of the magic staff, made of unknown material, was inlaid with a dazzling ruby.
A miniature mana vortex was rotating in the center of the gemstone, which could bring great gain to the magic user's spellcasting.
Undoubtedly, this was a powerful high-circle magic user.
In the square, the Vice City Lord of Bremen City had long been waiting, and at this time stepped forward a few steps, respectfully: "Master Fre."
Master Fre waved his hand. "Prepare materials and issue a summons overnight. Everything must be ready tonight. I will set off for the Hogen Earth Vein tomorrow."
"Hogen Earth Vein" is the name given to this newly born earth vein by the Xi En Principality.
In the evening, when the time on the pocket watch showed just over a quarter past seven, Gao De's door was knocked.
When he opened the door, he found that the person standing at the door was an official staff member of Bremen City in uniform.
In Gao De's confusion, the official staff member expressed his intention: the official was preparing to carry out the first large-scale hunting and cleaning work on the earth-vein creatures pouring out from the Hogen Earth Vein tomorrow. Due to the shortage of manpower, a summons was issued to summon magic users in the city to participate actively.
And in the defensive battle today, Gao De, as one of the participating apprentice magic users, was the first consideration for the summons.
"Just follow the main force of the city guards to be responsible for hunting earth-vein creatures on the outskirts of the earth vein's influence, and the interior will be handled by Saint Xi En magic users?" Gao De confirmed.
"Of course, otherwise what else can you expect these apprentice magic users to do?" The staff member said naturally, although the words were not polite, there was no mockery.
After hearing this, Gao De was also a bit hesitant.
This summons was not like the one this morning, where he could just defend on the city wall, but was truly going deep into the wild mountains and forests to fight.
Even if it was a large-scale action organized by the official, where they could look after each other, the danger coefficient was still not small.
Originally, according to Gao De's idea, he would only consider going out to adventure after ensuring that his mana could cast more than ten cantrips.
But this opportunity was really rare.
Organized by the official, there must also be people sent by the official to lead the team. With so many eyes watching, at least he didn't have to worry too much about being framed by companions.
And there were people who could look after each other, and they were all magic users. Gao De could completely take advantage of this opportunity to accumulate combat experience with earth-vein creatures in the wild and take this opportunity to accumulate origin.
"It's not a free summons; the official is hiring all non-official magic users." Seeing that Gao De was still hesitant, the staff member emphasized again.
"Second-Rank Apprentice Magic User, mana is not enough to cast more than ten cantrips, 5 gold coins a day."
"Mana is enough to cast more than ten cantrips, 10 gold coins a day."
"Third-Rank Apprentice Magic User, 15 gold coins a day, all rewards are settled on the same day." The staff member reported the remuneration.
"However, there is no extra reward, and the hunted earth-vein creatures belong to the official."
This is also very reasonable. After all, the official pays money and effort, and also has to ensure logistics, so naturally, they own the spoils of war.
Moreover, without official effort, everyone would have no way to transport the earth-vein creatures hunted in the wild back to the city for sale.
"Alright, I'll participate." After some consideration, Gao De still decided to participate in this summons.
There is no doubt that he must hunt earth-vein creatures to obtain origin in the future; it is impossible to keep "cowering" like this. 【92-
Moreover, in a world where supernatural power belongs to oneself, combat and danger are inevitable.
He must accumulate relevant experience to adapt to this world.
Besides, the Origin is hard to come by; he has no reason to miss this excellent opportunity! It's just that when the time comes and there are many people around, how to "snatch the kill" will truly test his timing and keen eye.
Furthermore, in Gao De's view, among the mages targeted by this summons, there shouldn't be many who would choose not to participate.
"Assemble at Black Horn Square at seven tomorrow morning, don't be late." The staff member nodded, handed a copy of the summons to Gao De, and instructed him.
