At the front of the convoy, in a luxuriously decorated carriage, an old wizard was staring out the window, taking in the architectural layout of the entire city.
"Mr. Tik, do you think this continent could really be a sphere?" Beside him, a wizard in gorgeous clothes was staring at a gold coin tossing in his hand and asked curiously.
"Roll, before it is thoroughly verified, I'm afraid no one can really confirm or refute this hypothesis..." It took Tik a long time to move his eyes away from the rows of houses of the same length and width, and then continued.
"It is rumored that within the parliament, there is a legendary wizard who is proficient in elemental science. After learning this conjecture, he plans to use flying magic to fly high into the sky to confirm whether the continent is round or flat..."
"What's the result?" Luo asked with great curiosity.
"When we set out, that adult hadn't come back yet!" Tik said, shaking his head.
It's been a few days, right? Could it be... Luo Er couldn't help but shudder, but then he rejected the idea. Although he had never really seen the power of the legendary wizard, he knew that it was definitely beyond imagination.
It seems that the safety of these big shots is not something that a small character like me should worry about.
"No matter what, once this news is released, all the wizards of the prophecy school will probably quarrel over it." Tik said with emotion.
Those wizards of the prophecy school always try to analyze the revelations of fate from the orbits of galaxies. The star maps widely circulated in the wizarding land are from their hands, and Lin En's planetary theory undoubtedly completely refutes this theory.
Tik is naturally happy to see this happen.
In his opinion, the prophecy school is a complete waste of parliament's funds. It only comes up with some confusing words, and then explains each word based on facts after the event occurs, making it difficult for people to figure out whether it is a successful prophecy or a made-up lie.
Luo Er didn't care much about the ideas of those prophet scientists. He was thinking about another theory mentioned by the wizard named Lin, the law of free fall!
The acceleration of a falling object has nothing to do with its weight or mass; when two objects of different masses are dropped from the same height, they will hit the ground at the same time.
Although this theory has been verified by some great wizards, it is still too abnormal to be true.
Does it mean that if you move a small stone and a whole mountain to the sky, they will both fall to the ground at the same time?
Roll tried to toss the gold coin and a feather pen in his hand, and there was no doubt that the gold coin with heavier mass fell first.
Just as he was thinking, the convoy slowly stopped.
"What's going on?" Luo Er asked with a little dissatisfaction. They should not have arrived at Yieta Magic Academy yet.
"Master Wizard, the road ahead is blocked." The servant riding the camel explained hurriedly.
Roll opened the car curtain and immediately saw countless townspeople gathered in the square, seemingly discussing something.
"What happened?" Tik asked. He also heard the noisy noise outside.
This thing is as tall as two stories and is divided into two parts, upper and lower.
On top is an inverted elliptical sphere, with an estimated length of more than twenty meters. Below is something similar to a ship, but it looks much smaller, less than one-third the size of the elliptical sphere, and is tied in the middle with sturdy ropes.
"Is this the alchemical machine recently developed by Master Hellram? It's so huge!" Roll said with emotion. It is even bigger than the golems in the Wizard City.
"No, I think it has nothing to do with Lord Hellram..." Tik retorted after listening to the noisy discussions around him for a while.
The things mentioned most by the townspeople here are Lynn, Lydia and something called an airship.
Airship...is that the name of this alchemical machine?
"So, it is related to the wizard from the Secas Empire? How interesting... Let's walk over and take a look!" Roll got off the carriage and said with interest.
…
On the other side, in the center of the city square, Lydia and the airship she made were surrounded by onlookers. No matter they were children of seven or eight years old or strong farmers, they all wanted to touch this huge thing that was taller than a house.
A dozen halflings surrounded the airship like guards, with proud expressions on their faces. This was a treasure they had worked hard to make for more than half a month! A naughty boy secretly climbed up the sculpture, stood up with all his strength, raised his hand high, and poked the bottom of the airbag of the airship, feeling the soft touch. When he found that he could not pierce the seemingly weak airbag at all, he retracted his hand, but his eyes were always fixed on the big airship in front of him.
"Aha! It's so soft~" The other naughty children also climbed up curiously, touched the airship with their rough hands, and shouted excitedly.
Darren was startled and jumped up quickly, trying to drive the other person away, but he was too short and couldn't reach him even if he jumped. He could only scold him with an embarrassed face.
"Go, go, go... Don't break anything. I can't afford the compensation even if I sell you off!"
Although the airbag made of camel leather is very strong and difficult to cut with a knife, they have put all their energy and savings into this flight experiment and will not allow any mistakes.
"Uncle Darren, how did you pull such a big thing over here? It's called an airship, can it really fly?" The leading boy was not afraid of Darren, who was not as tall as him, and asked with a smile.
The crowd watching was also extremely curious. Judging from its appearance, this thing called an airship must weigh tens of thousands of pounds, but Lydia and others were able to move it all the way from the workshop on the west side to the square.
"You guys don't understand. This thing only looks big, but it's actually not heavy at all... No, that's not right. It should be light when pushed. I heard from the wizard that this is because the lift offsets most of the gravity, plus the pulley at the bottom, so it's not tiring to carry it..."
Darren spoke proudly, his beard sticking up, but before he could finish, Lydia stepped heavily on him. Only then did he react and immediately changed his expression. He stared at everyone present as if he was guarding against thieves, and spoke with a serious expression.
"Confidential, this is all confidential!"
