"Is that so? I'm glad to hear your advice."
Leia looked at Lin En with a strange look. He strongly suspected that the other party had been a sheriff before crossing the sea to the land of wizards, otherwise how could he be more skilled in investigating clues than himself.
"Here are five magic gold coins. Please help me give them to Ralph's family." Lynn took out some magic gold coins from his pocket and handed them to Darren.
Since Ralph was most likely attacked because of the airship, he naturally had to make some response, otherwise no one would be willing to help him in the future.
However, the investigation will ultimately be handed over to Leia, the sheriff.
After all, he didn't have his own intelligence personnel, and he didn't know which apprentices met the requirements, let alone track and investigate them one by one.
Lin En only now realized that although he had gained considerable fame in the past half month, he did not have many manpower at his disposal, and it was difficult for him to obtain some intelligence.
In view of this, Lynn had no choice but to remind Darren, Lydia and others to pay attention to safety recently and never act alone.
The other party failed in their attempt to take Ralph away, and there might be further actions. A wizard apprentice is most likely just a pawn.
They stayed in the alley until noon, and the crowd had to disperse when they failed to find any more clues. As for the body, Leia took it back to the security team in the hope of finding more traces on it that had not been noticed before.
On the way back to the workshop, Lydia and the others were in very low spirits. The joy they had felt from making the airship and earning a large amount of magic coins had long since dissipated. However, they still drained the airbags of the airship according to Lin's instructions.
Then Lynn personally replaced the hydrogen filling the airbag with helium.
Both gases are able to provide sufficient lift for the airship.
It’s just that hydrogen is easy to obtain but flammable and explosive. This thing was chosen just to help Lydia complete the test of Herram.
In addition, he had a little idea, that is, once the design drawings of the airship were leaked, and someone made another airship using the same method, it would leave a fatal weakness.
As long as the airbag is broken and a few sparks are created, this thing will turn into a big fireball flying in the sky.
As Lin En was thinking, he stepped out of the workshop. When he was about to return to Yieta College, he saw someone who was unexpected waiting outside the door.
"Mr. Lord, what do you want to talk to me about?" Lynn stopped walking, looked at the man waiting at the door, and asked.
"Yes, there is some news. Maybe there is something you want to know. Sir Lin, are you interested in listening?" Lord Loud hunched over and spoke respectfully.
He didn't look like a gangster boss managing hundreds of people, but more like a nobleman's butler.
Lin En stared at Loud for a while and said indifferently, "Let's find a quiet place to talk."
He did not choose to return to the academy because in his eyes, it was not a private place.
"Please follow me, Mr. Lin En." A look of surprise appeared on Lord's face, and he quickly stretched out his hand to lead the way for Lin En.
The two walked through the streets on the west side and the central square, and after walking out of a long and narrow alley, they arrived at the South City area next to the pier, which he had never been to before.
If there is anything that is the same as outside, it is regularity!
Although all the buildings are old and dilapidated, they were built according to specific rules.
“I didn’t expect there was such a place in Yieta.” Lin En said in surprise.
What is this? A slum in the city?
"I think this is not just in Yieta. Such a place exists in every city on this continent." Lord said with a little emotion, "As long as those nobles continue to live a luxurious life, it will exist forever."
Lin En glanced at the other person and felt that he had some hidden meaning, because there were no nobles in the wizarding land.
Loud also realized the implication in his words and quickly spoke up to make amends. "In fact, the situation here is much better than in the Sekas Empire. In Yieta, few people starve to death. In theory... even poor people with disabilities can receive enough relief food to survive."
"Relief food? There is such a benefit?" Lin En was very surprised. The entire wizarding land was just a huge island. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be many places that could be cultivated.
After Lord's explanation, Lin En finally understood that all the grain-producing lands in the wizarding land were developed using magic, and those elemental wizards even created special witchcraft to increase production, so the grain output was twice as high as that in the outside world.
Lin En, dressed in a gorgeous robe, looked out of place in the entire South City District, and soon attracted all kinds of looks, some envy, some jealousy, and some inexplicable... hatred! However, when Lin En's eyes swept over, everyone on the street became respectful and humble.
One of them caught Lin En's attention. He was a middle-aged man in his thirties, blind in one eye. His right side was bigger than his left side, which looked very weird. The five fingers of his right hand looked like monster-like sharp claws.
After walking a little further away, Lin En turned to look at Loud and asked, "Who was that just now?"
Could it be that there are races like orcs on this continent?
But why had he never heard of it?
Lord hesitated for a moment and spoke in a low voice.
"That's a defective product..."
"Defective product?" Lynn paused.
"I heard some wizards call them that." Lord lowered his voice and explained.
"These people are the products of the magic workshop. Rumor has it that they are related to a wizard who is proficient in shaping magic... As long as you have ten magic gold coins, anyone can undergo a transformation. However, I heard that the success rate is very low. It is considered very lucky to become a defective product."
Of course, the so-called defective products are just a derogatory term used by wizards. In fact, for a monster like this, killing a few ordinary people is as easy as slaughtering chickens and sheep.
In the South City, there is no shortage of people who are willing to do anything for power. In the wizard land, the power of magic is everything. If the transformation is successful, it will be a step up to the sky and have power comparable to that of a formal wizard! (End of this chapter)
