Chapter 54 Great Wizard Herram
"I knew it was going to be like this."
Seeing the aircraft fall from the sky, Theodore couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and then complained in a low voice. "Master Herram shouldn't have indulged her like this..."
Lin En stared at the sky, the huge aircraft was shaking in mid-air, and it was falling in the direction of this square.
However, the people gathered in the square did not show any panic on their faces, so Lynn gave up his plan to make a move. It seems that there should be someone specially assigned to clean up the mess.
Sure enough, just when the aircraft was about to fall to the ground, several wizards in the square made a move, and they all released the slow fall technique, so that the aircraft in the air landed smoothly in the center of the square, but the damaged wings It has already fallen apart, and the camel leather covering it has long been blown to nowhere by the wind.
"Really can only fly a little..."
Jonny watched the process of the aircraft taking off and landing, and then turned to look at Lynn, curious how he knew so clearly.
"Relying on steam alone is not enough to maintain flight, and the design of the entire body is not very aerodynamic... It is inevitable to fall." Lynn shook his head and replied softly. He naturally saw this at a glance. The problem with flying an aircraft.
But this halfling girl named Lydia is definitely an engineering genius who can make this aircraft with such simple materials and make it operate.
It is also a good idea to imitate birds flapping their wings to provide lift, but it is too much taken for granted. It only stays in the most basic shape learning, only knowing it but not knowing why.
In general...History has proved that there is no future for steam planes. This thing has insufficient power and cannot fly high or far...
"You mean, by changing the power and redesigning the structure, this...uh... aircraft can fly freely in the sky without relying on magic power at all?"
The two were chatting when a gentle voice sounded behind them.
Lynn turned his head and looked over, and found that the speaker was an old man in a black robe and a bowler hat, about sixty or seventy years old, with a neatly trimmed beard, and an inexplicable glimmer of light in his pupils .
Theodore bowed quickly when he saw the man. "Master Herram!"
The person who came here is the controller of Iyeta Harbor, Herram!
As an extremely distinguished great wizard, the other party's clothes were so plain that the residents of Haigang Town around him couldn't recognize him immediately.
"It's a great honor to meet you, Your Excellency Herram." Lynn bowed his head and saluted, expressing his respect for the great wizard according to the customs here, and then he didn't directly answer the other party's question, but asked instead.
"The alchemy ship that also uses steam as power can sail on the sea without relying on magic? Why can't it fly?"
Herram raised his eyebrows, thinking that this question was very interesting, but Theodore on the side spoke impatiently.
"Who told you that those alchemy ships have nothing to do with magic? It seems that your alchemy must not be very good..."
While talking, Theodore introduced the two operation methods of the alchemy ship to Lin En, a foreign bumpkin.
Either an official wizard is in charge of controlling the alchemy machine, or the magic stone is used as energy to activate the corresponding alchemy circle.
Does that mean magic is used to create steam? Lin En blushed for a while, he really didn't expect that those alchemy boats were not coal-fired.
Could this be the magic power of the legendary consumption of a wizard for a hundred kilometers?
Herram looked at Lynn unexpectedly. More than 20 years ago, when the steam engine was first manufactured, it did not need to consume any mana. Afterwards, it was more convenient to use magic stones as energy.
In fact, the steam engine Lydia installed on the aircraft did not use any magic, but there are very few new generation wizards in the port of Iyeta who are willing to specialize in the basic principles of these alchemy formulas.
"Master Herram~"
Several people were chatting, and with the help of a group of halflings, Lydia had already broken free from the deformed cabin, and a hole was torn on the sleeve of her robe, but the girl didn't care, and hurriedly ran up to Herram, and asked with great anticipation.
"Am I successful? I really flew up just now, you should have seen it?"
"This can't be considered a success, it can only be said to be..." Herram paused, and recounted Lynn's words jokingly. "Fly a little bit!"
Lydia's small face immediately collapsed, like a defeated ostrich, and then hurriedly said that she has made great progress this time, as long as she modifies a little bit, this thing will definitely succeed fly up.
Herram listened patiently to Lydia's narration and complaints, and then turned to look at Lynn and the others.
"It seems that you have something to talk to me about, how about it, Theodore, you take a few guests to the academy first, I will be there in a while!"
Theodore nodded, this is indeed not a place to talk, but before he turned and left, Herram's voice sounded again.
"Also, Theodore, if you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can tell me in person."
Obviously, Herram not only heard Lynn's evaluation of the aircraft just now, but also heard the other party's complaints.
"No, master, what I mean is that Lydia is doing flying experiments in the square. It's too dangerous. In case of any accident, not only the townspeople will be easily injured, but also..." Theodore's expression changed. He paused, and hastily explained, but Herram waved his hand and interrupted his words.
"Okay, I understand what you mean, next time I will set up a magic barrier, your consideration is not completely unreasonable."
As the aircraft fell to the ground, the "farce" in the square ended, and the townspeople who had satisfied their novelty desires gradually dispersed amidst a burst of noise and gossip.
Theodore was rather depressed and took a few people to the Iyeta Magic Academy not far away.
It was a huge building complex standing in the center of the city, with towering spires, thick black walls, and the most conspicuous landmark building that could be seen even outside the harbor—[The Tower of Screaming]...
"In the port of Iyeta, is it so difficult to become a wizard apprentice?"
Stepping into the gate of the academy, Lynn couldn't help but ask after thinking about the flight experiment just now.
He had heard it before, and it seemed that the girl named Lydia had to complete this experiment in order to be eligible to join the Academy of Magic, which was a bit too difficult.
Wouldn't it be so troublesome for everyone to enroll?
"No, that's just a test for Lydia alone." Theodore explained. "Actually, Master Herram also had good intentions. These halflings don't have any magical talents. Letting her enter the academy is a waste of time..."
