Chapter 778: The Practicality of Magic
Da da~
The wooden wheels of the carriage rolled on the bluestone street, making a rhythmic sound. Due to the concentration of magic power, the wood here was obviously better than that on Earth, and the wheels could withstand the wear and tear.
Therefore, there is no urgent demand for rubber tires.
"Magic power is the key to success, magic power is the key to failure..."
Wang Yi leaned in the carriage and looked at the streets outside which were already approaching dusk. He felt a little emotional as he looked at the passers-by who were already preparing to hurry home.
The recorded continuous history of the Sefi world has been more than 20,000 years.
With the departure of the two gods, mages emerged and entered an era of innovation for nearly a thousand years. In the last hundred years, the power of mages has been further strengthened because no oracles have been conveyed.
It seems that the mages in this world are not those who are complacent, but have a spirit of research and pioneering.
But unfortunately, because of the convenience of magic, most of the thoughts and attention are placed on magic. For the top figures, the convenience of magic is already something they can enjoy, and even magicians are not interested in studying something that can be of benefit to everyone.
Magic can do it easily, so there is no need to "simplify" the understanding. I will just use magic!
As they had gotten used to this concentration of magic power from the beginning and took it for granted, they felt that they were already taking advantage of the rules of the world.
This is true even in the foreign world that Wang Yi had visited before. The concentration of magic power there is not even as high as that of the Sefi world, and it has a longer history of written records.
Although systematic magic academies have begun to appear in this world, they only target students with magical talent, and do not take ordinary people's strange ideas seriously.
The mages, who only make up a very small proportion, can indeed continuously launch new magical things, but compared with the situation on Earth, it is still a little lacking...
The Earl's Palace of Dunno can almost be seen as a city within the city of Dunno, and the overall image is that of a castle.
It is also the center of the entire city.
Now that it is night, March appears in the sky in different phases. The smallest one can be seen moving slowly with the naked eye.
Although there were few dark clouds and the moonlight visibility was good, the walls outside Count Dunno's castle were still lit with torches, and the faint fragrance of burning pine oil could be smelled in the air.
This was a dinner party held at the Earl's Palace, and almost all the important upper-class people in the city who were invited would come.
There were many carriages going in the same direction along the way.
You can see that the carriages with aristocratic family crests, even the coachmen driving them all hold their heads high and look arrogant. The carriages of wealthy merchants without family crests, no matter how luxurious they are, will give way.
To sum up, after seeing what we saw along the way, Shalltia's originally nice and practical carriage seemed a bit shabby. However, the presence of Kiki, the pretty cat maid driving the carriage, saved a lot of points.
Being a coachman is also a physical job to a certain extent, and most of them are men. Even the women are mostly big and strong. However, Qiqi and Lulu are both quite strong.
Although she is not a professional class, due to Catwoman's characteristics, she has the ability to threaten professional classes.
"We need to get off now. Only the nobles' carriages can go inside. We need to park outside."
Shatia reminded Wang Yi to see his reaction. If he wanted to go in, once his identity as the great wizard was revealed, Count Luke would have to come out to greet him in person.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. That's all."
And it is obvious that Wang Yi has no idol baggage.
Because of the search progress bar, he felt more and more at ease with more natives nearby, and his strength performance was similar.
No matter what level the strongest person nearby is, as long as he keeps calm, there won't be any risk of being detected.
If you exceed the limit occasionally, you need to blend in with the crowd and take a rest to lower your speed.
But in fact, there is no need to exceed or exceed. With Wang Yi's own computing power and level, the same level can also make those geniuses of the same level doubt their lives...
After getting off the car, Qiqi and Lulu waited in the car, while Wang Yi, held by Shalltia's arm, walked towards the main entrance.
The dresses designed and made by the old man Weber caused Wang Yi and Shalltia to frequently receive some subtle gazes.
The black veil in front of Shatia's deep V-neck and the shape created by her arms hugging Wang Yi were enough to blur the view.
However, it is somewhat similar to the situation of President Mike at that time. This is Earl Luke's dinner party. These guys who care about their reputation will not stare at a lady for a long time. Most of them rely on sneak glances and peripheral vision.
Even those wealthy businessmen with less background would certainly not want to appear to be inexperienced if they were invited.
"Master Yi, Ms. Shalltia, hello, and welcome to the dinner hosted by the Earl ."
After taking out the invitation, a gentle and elegant man in his fifties, wearing a butler's uniform, came up to the two of them.
And Shalltear gave out the small gift she had prepared.
Today is Earl Luke's daughter's sixth birthday. According to the traditional dinner rules here, some small gifts should be given.
However, for ordinary invitations like Wang Yi's, you only need to prepare some small toys for the children. It doesn't cost much and you can just hand it to the housekeeper when you come in.
The only ones who can give it to the birthday boy on the spot at the banquet are nobles with whom one has a close relationship. Ordinary nobles and businessmen don't even have a chance to show up!
Earl Luke is deeply trusted by Grand Duke Keddon. He guards the city of Dunno and serves as the lord of the East. He is also capable of enfeoffing minor nobles.
Although it still needs to be reported to the Grand Duke, it is just a formality.
However, he needed to carve out a fiefdom from his own, and Baron Danic of the town of Danic was Count Luke's vassal.
"On behalf of Miss Barbara, I would like to thank you both for your gifts."
The butler thanked him very politely, which made some wealthy businessmen passing by look envious.
This person is the external affairs manager of the Earl's Palace. Under normal circumstances, he would not come here to pick people up. At least their gifts would be sent out and collected by ordinary servants outside. He would directly put the invitations and gifts together and submit them for registration.
"You're welcome."
Wang Yi waved his hand politely, causing the butler's expression to freeze slightly.
This is not normal. Shouldn't you be flattered and say, "It's an honor to be invited to this dinner."
Since this was the first time this person had sent out an invitation, he was afraid that something might go wrong so he came to meet the person in person. As it turned out, there were some minor problems, probably because he had no experience in participating in these things before.
However, as a professional manager, he quickly calmed down his expression.
This was the reason why I came here!
There will always be someone who does things for the first time, and there will always be various plans.
Fortunately, he brought a female companion with him, so she could just dance along. However, this time he also wanted to ask someone to sing some elf-style music to set off the atmosphere, so he politely invited her.
"Because our Miss Barbara likes the tunes of the Elf style very much, I would like to take the liberty of asking Master Yi to fulfill our little birthday girl's little wish."
"No problem, it's her birthday today, but I didn't bring my piano."
Wang Yi said readily.
"Thank you for your generosity. We will be prepared. You can just play as much as you want when the time comes..."
The two sides communicated so well, and then the butler led the way, taking Wang Yi and the others deeper into the castle.
There were torches hung all over the outside of the castle, and oil lamps were hung on both sides of the inner corridor. The light was softer, and because there were so many light sources, the shadows appeared very faint.
When we arrived at the banquet hall, the magical lights driven by magic illuminated the venue as bright as day.
There is circulating air and a light fragrance, and even the dehumidification and temperature are adjusted.
After all, he is a powerful earl, and here we can also see some real applications of magic in life...
