Chapter 80
Along with Brian's arrival, Dore City also received good news.
He not only came to Dore City's church to be a pastor, but also brought the latest improved magic circle, which was the one that Jiang Li and Augustus saw in the capital. After the improvement, the detection magic circle can detect the existence of the demons more sensitively and protect the residents in the city. After
the new magic circle was set up, it was not long before the problem was detected. It was sensed in the goods brought by a merchant who entered the city.
After investigation, it was found that there was a problem with one of the decorations. It contained a vicious curse. If it was placed around for a long time, it would affect people's sanity and turn a normal person into a madman.
According to the merchant, he bought the goods from another small merchant and sold them in Dolei City. He didn't know that the goods were so evil. Even the price was not expensive. He didn't know the identity of the previous seller. The goods were quickly disposed of. People who knew the inside story were still worried. Even Jiang Li was shocked.
For this reason, he went to find his elf teacher to learn some identification methods from Messenner.
After coming to the other world, Jiang Li also bought a lot of things from the other world and put them at home as decorations. He also sent some to his friends.
Messenner was not panicked: "You have a strong magic talent and a keen sense of magic. If something ominous really appears around you, you will soon sense the existence of those evil magics."
"Really?" Jiang Li thought about it.
Messenner took a magic item and asked him, "What do you feel?"
Jiang Li sensed it for a moment. The longer he learned magic, the stronger his sense of magic became. Almost immediately, he felt the existence of magic on this magic item, and he could clearly feel that it existed in the middle of this item - this is a defensive item made into a brooch, which can withstand a fatal attack. The gemstone in the middle is where the magic circle is engraved.
"It's just like this." Messenner said lightly: "There are traces of magic power. As long as there are magic elements, they can be sensed by people. The only difference is whether they are hidden or not. The more powerful the magician, the more sensitive they are."
Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief. It's
okay to leave them at home. If there are problems with the gifts he gave to others, leading to some terrible consequences, that would be a real big deal. Fortunately, according to Jiang Li's memory, the gifts he gave out were all ordinary decorations, and there was no magic power.
"The demons are getting more and more cunning. When we were on guard, they secretly sent these evil things into the human city." One morning after that, Augustus passed by the supermarket, came in to buy a bottle of ice soda, and complained to Jiang Li.
Although the products with problems were dealt with, the matter was not over. These evil products might have sneaked into Dore City or other cities. Therefore, Mayor Dean reported the matter to His Majesty the King.
At the same time, Dore City also underwent a major investigation.
Before the magic circle at the city gate was improved, it was impossible to detect these tiny details, and there might be fish that slipped through the net.
"If it hadn't been discovered, it would have been too late after the disaster." Augustus sighed, "This happened in a city. The demons sneaked into the human city and even the local city lord and nobles were bewitched. When they were discovered, the whole city had become a paradise for the demons."
Jiang Li asked, "What happened to the humans inside?"
Augustus said sadly, "They all became zombies. In order to purify the city, the Church dispatched more than half of the clergy, but they also saved some lives."
And more people were too deeply eroded by the monsters to be saved in time.
Cities destroyed by monsters will become purgatory on earth. No matter who it is, no one wants the peaceful and warm Dore City to become like that.
Even though Jiang Li, a human from another world, had never seen the true face of the demons, he had heard countless horrible stories. If possible, he would never want to meet such an enemy in his life.
"Fortunately, there is the improved magic circle brought by Mr. Fielding." Augustus sighed again.
Jiang Li nodded in agreement: "That's right."
While talking, he finished a bottle of Coke.
Augustus threw the bottle into the trash can at the door. "My father and I are going to ask Mr. Fielding for help."
"Help?"
Augustus nodded. "Mr. Fielding is one of the best magic circle masters today. In addition to the detection magic circle at the city gate, we think that Dore City also needs some defensive measures."
For example, when a beast tide comes or when a demon army attacks, the defensive magic circle can effectively protect the residents in the city.
If we can set up a huge magic circle that can cover the entire city-state for Dore City with the help of Brian, it would be great.
However, the magic circle is a very expensive thing. Even if there is no enemy attack, a large amount of magic crystals are consumed to maintain the operation of the magic circle. Fortunately, Dore City is no longer what it used to be.
I forgot to say that the pickled vegetable business is indeed very popular. The first batch of pickled vegetables shipped out has been loved by countless people. Now all the workshops in the Dore City Industrial Park are working overtime to produce, and at the same time, Dore City has also gained countless gold coins.
The only problem is...
"Mr. Fielding seems to be studying an alchemy product. Not only does he not appear in the church, he also seems to have no time to cooperate with us." Augustus said distressedly.
Jiang Li asked: "What is he busy with?"
Augustus shook his head and said uncertainly: "It seems that he is with Mr. Eugene, studying a magic prop."
Jiang Li: "..."
...
The collision of magic alchemy and technological forging has brought a new competitor to both the alchemy master and the forging master.
Perhaps because of the existence of competitors, the sense of urgency lingered around them all the time. After a period of seclusion, the dwarf and Brian launched their new works one after another.
On this day, in the central square, the residents of Dore City gathered around curiously, half around the dwarf and half around Brian. Even Jiang Li heard the news and rushed to join in the fun.
I saw a familiar object placed next to the dwarf. Anyone who has seen it can recognize it at a glance. Jiang Li wondered: "Bicycle?"
"Yes." Behind the dwarf's shaggy beard, his face was full of pride: "I made Mr. Jiang Li's bicycle."
There were exclamations from the crowd.
"Is it the bicycle that Mr. Jiang Li used?"
"I see Mr. Messenner riding it every day. It looks very convenient."
"If there is such a means of transportation, we don't have to get up early to go to the workshop..."
The dwarf introduced: "I used a kind of monster skin instead of rubber and wrapped it outside the wheel. The properties of this monster skin are very similar to rubber. After being processed, it is also very light during driving and you won't feel it is difficult to move."
"And my new work--" Brian couldn't wait to lift the white cloth covering the thing and show it to everyone: "--a magic car!"
"Wow!"
The exclamations in the crowd became louder, and everyone's attention was attracted.
Even Jiang Li widened his eyes and looked at the vehicle in front of him in disbelief.
The appearance is somewhat similar to a carriage, but the structure of the carriage has been modified to become more narrow, the wheels have also been modified, and a steering wheel has been added to the carriage, which reminds people of modern cars.
"This is used to adjust the direction, and when you press this switch..." Brian sat in the carriage and pressed the switch. Soon, the light of the magic circle appeared where the wheel should have been.
Right under everyone's eyes, this magic car actually flew up and floated in the air.
Brian drove the magic car around the central square. He turned the steering wheel, and the magic car turned flexibly and could speed up and slow down.
Compared with the bicycles that have been seen many times, this unprecedented magic car attracted more attention.
For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on Brian, and no one cared about the dwarf and his bicycle.
But Eugene was not panicked.
When the white-robed clergyman finished showing off like a colorful peacock and the magic car stopped beside him again, he said calmly: "My bicycle can be mass-produced."
Brian: "..."
Dwarf: "From today, I will start to accept orders for bicycles, and each bicycle only costs 20 gold coins."
Brian: "..."
"What about this magic car?" In the crowd, Serego asked anxiously: "How much is this magic car?"
Compared to a bicycle, this magic car is really too cool!
It is conceivable that if someone could drive such a car on the street, it would definitely attract the attention of the entire street. The magic car is not only flexible and convenient, but also a unique product in the entire Lalan continent.
Not to mention the dragon, even Jiang Li was a little moved when he saw it.
You know, compared to modern vehicles such as electricity and gasoline, which are difficult to operate without the earth, the magic car is driven by a magic circle. As long as there is enough magic power, it can go to any place on the continent.
Serego squeezed through the crowd, and the appearance of the magic car reflected in his golden eyes was more attractive than any treasure he had ever seen before.
The dragon wants it! The dragon wants it!
Brian touched his nose and said awkwardly: "This magic car uses many high-end and complex magic arrays. In order to facilitate driving, I used extremely difficult magic array stacking. I failed many times before I succeeded. Similarly, it also consumed a lot of precious materials. The cost alone is about 10,000 gold coins..."
Serego took a breath, "1, 10,000 gold coins?!"
Brian's voice became lower and lower: "And, so far, only this one has been made."
Serego: "..."
Not to mention the dragon, all the onlookers were silent.
...
Devil's City.
In the extreme north of the Lalan Continent, it is always shrouded in darkness.
The dark sky had never been bright. A black crow stood on a dead tree branch and screamed hoarsely. Behind the gray mist, the mournful cry echoed.
The black dragon emerged from the cave where it rested. It stretched its black wings and stretched lazily.
A demon bird stumbled into its sight.
The moment it met the black dragon's golden vertical pupils, the demon bird stiffened and fell straight to the ground. It was picked up by a black claw with disgust.
"What is this?" The black dragon's voice was low, like the rumbling thunder in the dark clouds. It shook the magic bird in its claws, and a package and a letter fell from the magic bird.
The black dragon went over to sniff, and a familiar breath of fire penetrated its nose.
"The messenger of Serego?"
