Stray Chapter 34: A little bit of danger
Boarding the Magic Airship didn't take too long, after all, there were not many people waiting in line to board.
The only thing that's a little concerning is that everyone has nothing to say and no ID or anything like that.
And the obvious fact is that these things are also indispensable in a civilized society where magic is highly developed to such a degree. So before boarding the airship, everyone felt that magic might be needed to solve the problem.
After all, tricks like hinting, domination, etc., although they are not on the table, are always very convenient and useful when solving some tedious little troubles like these.
However, as a local resident, Miss Skaha is obviously well prepared. She not only prepared a common currency, but also prepared a corresponding fake identity for everyone.
It seems that these problems are not a problem at all, and Fujimaru Rika and others immediately feel relieved.
—Of course, it's just a matter of appearances, and it's not the case at the practical level.
"Strange, how come there are so many passengers on the Isle of Skye today... Where did you guys come from and what did you come here for?"
The soldier in charge of the inspection was obviously a little puzzled. He carefully examined the large group of people in front of him with suspicious eyes, and the inspection attitude was also very careful.
After all, he has followed this airship back and forth on this route many times in the past. Basically, he rarely encounters such a large group of passengers at the Isle of Skye station, or should be said, basically not There will be some passengers.
Because the Isle of Skye is a barren island with no special resources, the kingdom's development is limited to the port and this town.
So the question arises, why did this group of people come to this island from other places and make a stopover? If the destination is not the Isle of Skye, then why get off the bus and wait here to leave in the magic airship?
And judging from the test results of the documents, this group of people are not residents of the Isle of Skye, but from the British mainland, which is very strange... Of course, if the documents show that they are from the Isle of Skye For the locals, it's just as weird.
Such a large group of people suddenly gathered today, hula-la, to leave the island together, which also seems problematic no matter how you look at it.
Although over the years, under the crazy development of magic technology, various novel products have emerged one after another. From steam technology to magic reactor, from air rail to sea train... In just a few short years, the changes in the world are greater and more drastic than the previous eras combined.
Various vehicles such as magic airships, sea trains, steam ferries, etc. appeared, replacing the previous status of horses and carriages. Although they have not been completely eliminated, after all, it is still necessary to transport materials and personnel in a small area. Relatively easy to use.
And thanks to the kingdom's policy, these things are also deliberately popularized in the civilian field. In addition, the traffic routes of sea, land and air are criss-crossed, covering almost the whole of Europe. It can be said that any citizen can go anywhere in a short time. .
It is said that this trend is not only in Europe, but all over the world, so many people are very optimistic, thinking that within this century, the whole world will be able to connect, and the footsteps of human beings can travel throughout the world planet.
However, the vast majority of people only know this fact, but their own concepts have not been able to keep up with the rapid development speed. They have experienced wars, famines and various disasters. You have deep rejection and fear.
Even if it comes directly from the official arrangement, there are many people who are unwilling. If it is not necessary, they are not willing to leave too far away from the place of residence, at least ordinary people are unwilling.
So, this group of people feels really problematic... The soldier narrowed his eyes and looked at the group of people in front of him.
They don't look like ordinary people, but they don't look like businessmen running around for profit, and they are all empty-handed, not to mention any goods, not even carry-on luggage.
This is one of the suspicious points, and it is also the main factor that made the soldiers suspicious at first. After careful observation, more problems were discovered.
For example, the temperament of this group of people is very special. Many of them seem to be "warriors" who have experienced many battles. Although they are calm and quiet at the moment, the feeling of being well-trained will not disappear. of.
Considering that those damned rebels seem to be active again recently, it is said that one of the kingdom's shipping routes has suffered a heavy loss, and even aroused the anger of the king, and sent the punishment from the capital with the holy spear from afar...
The soldier suddenly became more vigilant. The more he looked at this group of people, the more suspicious he became. He was already inclined to suspect that they were the rebels. Perhaps this time he came to seize this airship. .
Under the soldier's sharp line of sight and sharp questions, the people on the Chaldean side naturally hesitated and made many mistakes.
Although Fujimaru Rika and the others heard a lot of related things from Skaha in advance, they were not really born and raised in this singularity.
Like an endorsement, those intelligence information is difficult to really use, and when faced with some inquiries, their subconscious hesitation, pause, and hesitation have become more and more obvious signs of suspicion.
As a result, the atmosphere began to gradually become solemn.
Even the staff of Chaldea who are monitoring in real time in the 21st century, including Dr. Roman, are subconsciously sweating.
The other guards also seemed to notice something was wrong. Some people reached out and pressed the hilt on their waists and walked over quickly. Some people also picked up the magic dress that seemed to be specially used for communication, as if they were going to inform others. people.
"You are too vigilant, this is not a good thing..."
Probably did not expect to encounter such a vigilant censorship, Skaha finally couldn't help sighing, she stepped forward, gently raised a slender palm, and waved it directly in front of her And passed.
The soldier with sharp eyes and high vigilance suddenly had a dazed look in his eyes, as if he had lost the focus of his vision, but he recovered after only a second.
Then he seemed to have lost interest in the group of people in front of him. He lowered his head and simply flipped through the documents he had seen many times before. The documents were returned and they were let aboard the airship.
It seems that he suddenly forgot what happened just now. Even the doubts and vigilance that had appeared in his heart before were forcibly eliminated by some mysterious force, as if the paper was erased by an eraser. The handwriting on the face is out of the alert state.
And the same goes for everyone else around, and a storm that's about to set in has vanished.
Even they thought that the speed of this large group of people boarding the airship was too slow, and they were waving their hands again and again, urging these people to move faster-
"Come up!"
"Why so long? Is there a problem?"
"Don't get stuck on the gangway, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up... don't look around, it's you! We're leaving soon..."
Fujimaru Rika let out a long breath, and quickly took the lead through the gangway and boarded the huge airship, followed by the others.
Looking around on the deck, the girl found that the airship was similar to modern aircraft in appearance, but was actually different. For example, the pods under the hull were not very small, but rather huge.
It's more than a hundred meters long from start to finish, like a big ship hanging in the air. I didn't feel it when I looked at it from a distance before, but now that she has boarded this behemoth, she observed how amazing it was after a close look.
It is a heavy weapon at all. It is hard to imagine that in such an era, there is actually a country capable of producing, constructing and maintaining such a thing, and it is still mass-produced. Although the scale is not large, it is obviously steadily increasing the number.
"Wow, it's really dangerous..." Matthew also patted his chest with peace of mind while looking around, "I almost had a problem."
Mordred curled his lips beside her indifferently: "I don't know what to be afraid of, the big deal is to grab this aircraft directly... And in the end, it has to be solved with magic. The problem is, it might be better to be simple from the beginning."
She thinks this is superfluous.
“Using magic such as suggestion and **** can indeed solve the problem directly, or even more convenient, I do not deny this.”
Skaha replied calmly, she explained to everyone the need to do this, saying that this is the real wise choice.
"But greed for temporary convenience may be the seeds of hidden dangers in the future. The degree of popularization and application of magic in this world is far beyond your imagination. Basically, any ordinary person has magic power more or less. "
In modern times, people with magic qualifications are rare seedlings that are worth a lot of trouble to discover and cultivate, but in this era, everyone has them, but it's just a matter of the upper limit, just like eating and drinking water. .
On the contrary, people who have no magical powers at all are a particularly rare example.
Living in such an era, obviously adapting to such an environment, but still a magic insulator, isn't such an unreasonable thing worthy of attention?
"As you all know, as long as people have a magic circuit, they often have anti-magic powers that can bounce off hypnosis, spells and other interference magic. Although these people are not as exaggerated as they gradually form their own magic circuits the day after tomorrow , but they gradually adapted to the changes in this environment, and their physiques still changed.”
The Queen of the Land of Shadows pointed her finger at the soldiers behind her.
"Able to adapt to the magical environment of the complete age of the gods, they are always breathing and bathed in extremely strong magical power. Even if there is no magic circuit, the overall physique is already close to the filter, more or less can be drawn from the outside world. Magic power, so it naturally has characteristics similar to the magic circuit..."
"Huh? That's not to say..." Fujimaru Rika was slightly taken aback.
"That's right, if you just switched to Lixiang and you used magic such as suggestion and hypnosis, it might not have any effect..." The Queen said calmly, "The interference magic may not be able to defeat their own right. Magic resistance."
