Volume 1: The Rise of Elanhill Chapter 0048 First Meeting
The two uninvited mages walked on the crowded streets, just like two scholars who came to visit. They strolled leisurely on the streets, full of curiosity about everything.
In fact, everyone who comes to Ailan Hill for the first time, or everyone who comes to Seris for the first time, will feel as shocked as Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. They may not have seen as many novel things as what they see now.
Here you can find the best shock absorbers for horse-drawn carriages, the most majestic BMWs on the grassland, magical liquids that emit fragrance, and top-quality porcelain that is as white and smooth as a woman's skin.
Even though the well-informed great magician Franzberg could only lament that he was as shallow-minded as a frog in a well. He was curious about everything, and even asked a few questions when he saw groups of noisy children in school uniforms.
At the city gate, they saw guards wearing neat military uniforms, handsome belts and carrying strange fire sticks. They also saw a strange device covered with canvas on the top of the city wall, which looked very dangerous.
Those are 30mm caliber dual-purpose anti-aircraft and anti-aircraft guns installed on fixed turrets on the city walls. These weapons were placed to defend the city from damage caused by the giant dragon. The city's air defense forces are under the jurisdiction of the Air Force and are responsible for these artillery.
Although there was still some distance to the plane, Chris decided to form his own air force. The current air force was responsible for the air defense of key areas and the management and control of anti-aircraft guns installed in cities and near factory areas.
Now, Frundsberg stood outside the gate of the former castle lord's mansion, which was also the core castle of Serris Castle, looking at the Elanhill Guards standing on both sides of the drawbridge, and sighed: "Only a fool would believe that a country that can produce so many unprecedented things in a short period of time would stagnate in terms of war weapons."
"Let alone anything else, just from the fact that there are no such terrible cannons deployed in their castle, I feel that that thing must not be some advanced weapon here in Ireland Hill." William also felt that he had been cheated.
Originally, giving your trump card to your opponent for free was a very suspicious thing. Now it seems that the weapon called the Red Cannon is definitely not Ailan Hill's trump card.
Franzberg recalled what he had seen along the way and said, "Before, I had only seen matches and other small things from Elan Hill . Now, I can actually see machines that can operate automatically and steel monsters that can lift thousands of pounds..."
"Those mortal fools from the Alante Empire actually think that for a country like this, their weapons would be so simple! Ridiculous..." William could only sigh after hearing what his teacher said.
"We have been deceived! See the gate of that castle? The soldiers standing guard there are not using spears! They are not even equipped with armor! What makes them so confident? They even gave up the armor that can save their lives?" Franzberg narrowed his eyes, and a surge of anger in his heart for being fooled.
He stared at the guards standing guard, and had murderous intentions towards the Grand Duke of Ailanhill, whom he had yet to meet. "Moreover, apart from their swords, they don't even have a single long weapon... This is not right, this is definitely not a case of lax defense..."
From the state of those soldiers on guard, Frundsberg could sense their seriousness and caution. This was not a state of lax defense or absent-mindedness, and it even caused him some pressure.
For a magician, this situation is rare. This is the mortal empire. According to common sense, no matter how cautious the defense here is, it is impossible to cause a great magician to feel oppressive.
But in fact, this kind of pressure did exist, which made Frundsberg a little hesitant. He really didn't dare to step forward and test those guards who seemed to be impossible to pose a threat to him.
"Or, their secret lies in the triangular leather case around the waist! There is a strange metal object there. I have never seen a soldier wearing such a thing..." William looked carefully at the guards on both sides of the suspension bridge and saw the revolvers on their belts.
Frundsberg also agreed with his point of view, because he also felt that the things in the holsters worn by the guards were very dangerous: "Perhaps, this thing is the reason why they gave up their armor and spears! If possible, we should find out the purpose of that thing!"
"Too dangerous!" William thought for a moment and felt that if they fought their way in from the door, there would be many variables. The opponent's defense was not weak. If some strange weapons appeared, the two of them might be in danger of dying here.
Frundsberg's thoughts were much more profound than William's. He nodded and agreed with William, saying, "Yes, it's too dangerous! If these people continue to develop like this, the ruling position of the Magic Empire may be shaken."
William couldn't sit still after hearing that this mortal country could threaten the Holy Demon Empire. He thought about it and said to his teacher, "Then we should destroy this place! Kill their leader and destroy everything here."
"You're right. We should take action... However, I want to take a look at the leader here. I always have a hunch that such a person will give me an unlimited future. I feel that I have never been so close to the truth. It is an exciting feeling." Franzberg was a little unwilling and hesitated whether to take action.
"Okay, teacher, it will be safer for us to act at night and sneak directly into the castle... and then see what kind of person this person is." William said to Franzberg.
Frunzberg nodded and agreed to the plan: "If he is dangerous, we will eliminate him and destroy everything here. If he is willing to share everything he has with us, then we will take him back to the Holy Demon Empire!"
Chris, who was letting himself go in his study, didn't know that a magician was already a few hundred meters away, planning to kidnap him. He was in the newly appropriated study, working on the future of Ailan Hill.
Copying textbooks is not an easy task. You have to write them word by word by yourself. The original elementary school textbooks and junior high school textbooks are still very simple, but the high school textbooks and university textbooks are completely another matter.
Just the increase in the number of words was enough to give Chris a headache. He had no way to pass on his knowledge to another person and let the other person do it for him. He could only tirelessly use his rest time to expand the book reserves of this world.
"Can you believe it? I don't even know what I'm writing." Chris joked as he finished the advanced mathematics in front of him without looking up. He heard the door open and thought it was Des or Wagron.
After all, there were many people who could break into his study without knocking, and Gurlo was sometimes too excited and would forget to knock. Everyone was very familiar with his own Grand Duke, who was approachable and did not care about those empty formalities. He was a very pragmatic monarch.
The other party did not speak either, as if he was attracted by something. After a long while, a voice suddenly came, an old and unfamiliar voice that made Chris's hair stand on end: "This drawing is so beautiful! It is more exquisite than any other work of art! It is simply, it is simply a miracle."
Chris looked up suddenly and saw an old man in an ordinary robe standing in front of his bookshelf, pulling out a huge blueprint and looking at the three-dimensional drawings of the parts on it.
Beside the old man, a young man stood respectfully, as if he was a follower, but the dangerous aura he exuded was no weaker than that of the old man.
Chris put down the delicate charcoal pencil in his hand and stared at the two people in front of him with a pair of sharp eyes. He knew that the other party was definitely not an easy character to deal with. The person who could stand here without alerting so many guards outside must not be as simple as it seemed.
Magician? It seems so! But what exactly are these two dangerous magicians here for? Are they sent by the Alante Empire to deal with Ailan Hill? Chris doesn't know. What he is thinking about now is how to protect himself and stay alive safely.
The good news is that his pistol is hanging behind the chair, and it has 6 bullets, enough to kill an ordinary person! Now Chris regrets a little bit, when he faces two dangerous magicians alone, he regrets why he used 9mm pistol bullets.
If he had known that this situation would happen today, if he had known that those magicians could easily break through the security line and come to him to chat and laugh, he would rather equip himself with a .45 caliber revolver, or simply a Desert Eagle to feel more at ease.
Anyway, those pistols that can kill elephants can make Chris more confident when facing the magician alone.
The good news was that the other party didn't point a gun at his head and yell "Don't move" which made him laugh and cry. Now he could at least move his body and pretend that he didn't care.
"You are very calm! Maybe you don't realize what you are facing." Franzberg praised Chris who was moving slowly, "But you are calmer than those mortal monarchs I have seen."
"I know, you might be magicians, very powerful ones." Chris pulled out the pistol from the holster with his hands behind his back. The smile on his face finally became more natural, and he answered, "It's the first time we meet, let me introduce myself, my name is Ailan Hill Chris!"
