Rita looked aggrieved as she was temporarily separated from Rita.
Vivian couldn't bear to see it any longer, so the maid pulled the little tower into her arms.
Ron and Rita gave Vivian a reassuring look and approached the car.
The first prototype of the Magic Crystal Car was made of wood, not iron.
Following the advice of the elf Iko, less wind element energy is needed for wood. Moreover, in terms of the value of magical materials, truly high-priced magical plants are far more valuable than high-priced metals.
This is at least the current understanding of the ancient world, but it is unknown whether it was the same in the pre-civilization era. Things are always evolving.
Ron wanted to ride in the wooden cart, so he touched it closely and felt the texture of the wood.
Dark red meteorite wood.
The wood that survives the intense elemental reaction will slowly attract the surrounding elements. After years of weathering, the dark red meteorite wood with a century-old texture has excellent elemental conductivity.
The prototype vehicle was developed somewhat hastily, and its appearance is not yet as beautiful as that of an elfin work of art.
The car body is mostly decorated with elemental patterns, with wind-themed patterns being the most common.
Despite the countless magical runes, Ron still considered it beautiful.
It resembles a sedan from the previous life, but is larger, presumably due to the consideration of the area of the magic pattern.
I don't know how long its battery life is, it's just a small concept in my mind.
After observing the exterior, Ron opened the car door and saw that there were still many magic runes inside. The steering wheel inside... looked a bit like a magic wand!
Ron was puzzled.
"Can someone tell me, didn't I suggest that a round steering wheel would be better?"
A question that came to mind as I turned around.
The researchers from their respective fields felt embarrassed.
Indeed, the finished product did not match Ron's original design.
Mandel, the former head of the Elven race, stepped forward and said, "My lord, this is the suggestion of the Archmage Iko!"
Ron looked at the man.
The taciturn female elf ignored Ron, judging from her expression...
Okay! Ron didn't bother asking.
It's just a steering wheel... no, a steering stick, isn't it?
This is definitely not a magic wand, otherwise, what would it look like?
Ron comforted himself, and with all sorts of thoughts in his mind, he led Rita to sit down.
Fortunately, one thing is as designed originally…
Seatbelt...I have it, but why is it made of vines?
Recalling the time when the elves were welcomed, the three magical chariots of the elven delegation were all made of vines and other materials...
I tolerated it.
Anyway, Ron wasn't planning on wearing a seatbelt for the first time, because if something happened, it would be harder to get Rita's help.
If Rita grabs Ron without a seatbelt, wouldn't he temporarily fly away?
There is one place that stands out quite a bit in the original version of the Magic Crystal Car.
To the right of a directional stick is a large magic crystal, which is at least of high quality.
No way, it must be a top-grade magic crystal!
It's not appropriate to use magical tools to test the concentration of magic crystal elements right now.
If it's a top-grade magic crystal, it seems a bit wasteful.
Top-grade magic crystals are already considered high-priced magical materials. They have many uses and are basically priceless, often being sold in barter.
In the non-magic crystal currency conversion system, top-tier magic crystals, such as Master-level armor, sometimes even exceed the value of magic crystals.
Oh well, it's just a small thing, it's not like I can't afford to lose it.
With so many expensive magical materials, the magic runes in the air all malfunctioned, forming an elemental tide. Isn't this a sign of annihilation?
Suddenly I realized that this car must have been sitting there for a while!
Still worried, Ron telepathically told Rita to consider the worst possible consequences...
"Rita, give me a heads-up..."
"Don't worry, my lord, Rita is here!"
Ron felt a little relieved, recalling the confident demeanor of the female elf, Iko…
I hope I'm alright!
Okay, never mind, Rita's got everything covered.
Let's go!
Based on Ron the Magic Swordsman's understanding of magic runes.
Touch the steering wheel with your hand.
Slowly inject a small amount of wind element into the compass stick.
The magic crystal next to it lit up.
The entire vehicle was suddenly covered in elements.
Elements can serve as one of the evolutionary energy sources for living beings. In such an environment, all the cells in the body become active.
Rita only felt a slight clarity of mind; in reality, it had little effect on beings of higher dimensions.
At some point, Ron sensed that most of the magic runes on the vehicle had been activated.
Outside the vehicle, a strong wind gathered beneath it.
People unconsciously stepped back a little.
Gradually, the sandstorm grew larger and larger.
So much so that some people have already covered their mouths and noses.
Is the sound and noise really that loud?
Sure enough, there were too many things to change in the initial version of the Magic Crystal Flying Car.
Quiet operation, low dust levels, and other improvements in people's comfort...
At least, any activation method that involves placing a magic crystal would be better than requiring a wind elementalist to activate it.
Damn directional stick, it's starting to feel more and more like a magic wand.
Until the elements converge to a certain degree.
Ron sensed this and whispered, "Start!"
The magic crystal car... it really flew.
It looks like it's floating.
It slowly rose into the air.
They did a good job in this regard. If you ascend too quickly, you'll hit your head if you're not wearing a seatbelt. People from other worlds still have some understanding of inertia.
One meter!
Three meters!
...
Ten meters!
It stopped.
Is it that high?
It seems that Ron will have to make suggestions to the R&D team after he comes down.
It's so high, if someone falls, they could easily get injured.
I'll definitely talk about the thoughts in my heart later.
Before officially taking off, Ron was still uneasy.
"Rita, are you confident?"
This time, Rita didn't use telepathy, but instead gave Ron a rare, slight smile.
It must be so beautiful!
Unfortunately, the thin face mask made it difficult to see clearly.
Rita can be surprised and find things new too!
By the way, he was testing... the first magic crystal car on the continent since the pre-civilization era!
In such an epic moment, it's not good to dwell on other things.
"Alright, car, go!"
Ron pondered, "This magic rune node should be moved here, yet another magic rune node..."
Behind them, the fire magic circle at the back of the car activated.
The force propels it forward, while the wind magic circle below, being more stable, maintains its height.
rush……
This time...
The wind is behind, and so is the mountain and wood landscape.
The car was indeed moving very fast through the air.
Ron was slightly startled to sense the presence of a fire magic circle.
Fire-type attacks are notoriously unstable; I hope it doesn't actually explode!
Fortunately, apart from the in-flight start being a bit too fast, everything else was normal.
Because the energy burst from the fire-elemental magic runes behind him was too strong, Ron's strands of hair stood on end, and he sensed that if they all rushed down, they would eventually become an afro.
There's no time to worry about that now; rushing too fast and then suddenly stopping will have even more serious consequences.
rush.
Although there weren't many obstacles in the air ahead, Ron was still thinking about how to slow down.
Magic comprehension, soul calculation, and rapid deduction of the meaning represented by magic rune nodes.
It's not as easy to operate as in the previous version, and the meaning of which direction the directional stick is pushed to is not explained.
Indeed, the inventors who participated in the original test drive were naturally familiar with every step of the operation.
However, this didn't stump Ron; he came up with another suggestion for improvement.
The next node is the third magic rune node counting from the end.
As the expensive directional stick came down, another system magic circle was activated.
The speed has gradually slowed down, and there is hope to save the hairstyle for now.
After a short while, Ron inexplicably started to enjoy it.
The magic crystal car flew away.
Flying at low altitude, fast and pleasant, the houses outside flashed by.
Before Ron knew it, he had arrived at a wide street.
The territory's research and development department was originally located somewhere in the city. After flying out, it naturally ended up on the street after a while.
Thank you again for building such a large road back then. It's so great that there's a main road, direct access, and a well-maintained Sandy neighborhood.
However, no matter how neat it is, it will eventually have to turn!
Ron is about to face a turning point.
Along the street, someone happened to open a window...
"Look, what's that?"
"How strange."
Below, even more people looked up.
Ron had a strange sense of vanity, but being a common man at heart, he didn't care. However, driving out into the wild was still necessary, just in case something happened.
After another turn, we should be able to fly directly over the city gate.
"By the way, how do you use the steering wheel when turning?"
With lightning-fast reasoning, if magic were to be improved, it would shift towards a wind-blade-like principle of magical runes.
"so!"
Ron turned the steering wheel ahead of time.
It's been forwarded.
But wait... how did it suddenly turn at a right angle?
"I……"
Ron and Rita were about to be thrown out of the car when Rita's gentle elemental power surged in, enveloping them as if they were inside a magical shield.
His body began to float away!
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Ron held on tightly to the steering wheel; otherwise, he would still have been thrown out.
It's like a warning to everyone: wear your seatbelt while driving.
What kind of damn steering wheel is this? Is there any steering wheel that can turn so aggressively?
No wonder it's 10 meters in the air; there are few obstacles, and the speed isn't too fast, so it seems barely usable.
People naturally know that lower altitudes are less likely to cause problems in the event of an accident.
I wonder if it's possible to fly directly through the clouds. If so, that would be great. We can do some research in the field later.
As long as Ron is still here, Rita will still be here. Anyway, Rita can catch up with the magic crystal car in no time by flying on her own.
Because Ron was gripping the steering wheel tightly, he was momentarily affected by inertia.
What happened?
The magic node at the last location, wasn't it supposed to slow you down? How come... it's actually for maximum speed, for escaping...?
Because this node involves a sudden, explosive acceleration, it's designed to be positioned at the very end of the pullback, to the right, to prevent the momentum from accelerating forward until the escape node is reached...
Oh no, his hairstyle!
The car headed straight towards the city gate.
"Up in the sky, so fast!"
"What is that?!"
"Is that the lord's voice?"
"Let's go take a look."
"..."
