Chapter 156 Exercise must be practiced!

To say which one of the pre-departure preparations gave Cecil the most headache, it was undoubtedly Langdon's training.

Langdon said very seriously: "If you don't have a strong body, how can you go out casually? You can't imagine the dangers outside."

Cecil thought for a moment: That's right, this makes sense, so let's start training!

Langdon's training is very ordinary, running every day, lifting a stone, seems to have nothing special, but Cecil was dumbfounded when he received the first day's training volume.

"Ten kilometers?" Cecil doubted his hearing, "Ten kilometers a day?"

"Yes, it's only ten kilometers." Langdon took it for granted.

"No, ten kilometers is a long time for humans, and it's still ten kilometers a day. I'm not going to participate in a marathon!" Cecil said angrily.

"I don't care if you are a marathon or a cow marathon, in short, ten kilometers, let's start!"

"I do not!"

Cecil was immediately slapped on the butt, and unconsciously jumped forward.

"You don't want to go unless you run," Langdon said.

Cecil hesitated for a while. Seeing that Langdon had no intention of letting go, he had no choice but to start his legs. He actually ran less than a kilometer that day and couldn't breathe. In the end, his today's The score was only over 800 meters. For this, Langdon "punished" him at night, well, they "built another house", which was very pleasant.

The next day, another 700m, at night, "another house".

Running circles during the day and "building a house" at night, after a week like this, Cecil looked like he would die suddenly anytime, anywhere. He fell asleep while the meeting was open, and his saliva dripped all over the table.This is not the most embarrassing thing, the most embarrassing thing is that the hickey on his neck can't go away at all, and he has no face to see Owen. Every time Langdon mentions the topic of hickey, he smiles "hehe", he can only bear it forcibly, Fortunately, the weather was not too hot, and he was able to "save his life" with a scarf.

"I always feel that one day I will die from blood clots." O'Casey's mirror now belongs to Cecil, and he sighs at the hickey every day, "This is too scary."

"Didn't you notice when you kissed?" Russell asked a little blindly, "Don't you feel pain?"

"I really don't think so." Cecil recalled, and said strangely, "Langdon didn't feel that heavy when he kissed."

"What do you mean by blood clot?" Langdon asked suddenly.

"The blood in the blood vessel has coagulated, forming stone-like things running around along the blood vessel. If the blood is thicker somewhere, this thing will block the blood vessel, and people will die suddenly." Cecil looked at the mirror. While talking about popular science, "The death is quite fast, the ball is over in a few seconds, this kind of death is actually quite good... What are you doing?"

Before the words were finished, Langdon came striding over, murmured something, and pressed Cecil's head for a while to operate. Soon he felt a lot more relaxed in his neck, and looked in the mirror again, and the hickey marks disappeared without a trace.

"Isn't this very convenient?" Cecil said happily, "You shouldn't have done it long ago."

"Anyway, it was eliminated during the day, and it will be printed at night... Oh!" Moye added coolly, and was kicked by O'Kasey.

Langdon didn't do that. He was much gentler at night, but Cecil still felt overwhelmed. He exercised during the day and "exercised" at night. If this went on like this, he would die suddenly without a hickey.After being thrown from behind on the bed again, he pushed Langdon's handsome face away for the first time, and said with a dry smile, "Then what, let's forget it tonight."

Langdon looked through his fingers and asked, "Don't you like me?"

"Of course I like it!" Cecil said angrily, "But I really can't stand your torment!"

"I'll take it easy..."

Cecil scrambled and fell off the bed, grabbed the edge of the bed and smiled apologetically, "Then what, I've had a bad stomach today, so it's inconvenient..."

"It's okay, I can cure it."

As Langdon said, he was about to come closer. Cecil thought about the day's events, and suddenly Fu Ling grasped Langdon's hand with a heart, and said affectionately: "I'm afraid I can't bear your love anymore, in case I What if you die while doing it?"

As expected, Langdon stopped his movements and blinked his eyes: "You mean, your physical strength has reached its limit now?"

Cecil nodded like a peck at rice.

"Well, rest is also very important, but if you don't exercise well, don't go west. By the way, I found someone who looks a bit like you. You can go and see it tomorrow."

Cecil: "..."

Westbound, what a price I paid for you!

Cecil slept until noon the next day. The fierce "gun battle" the night before was really delicious, and it brought about deep exhaustion both physically and mentally.Before falling asleep, he seemed to feel the fluffy touch, just like the fur of a cat. He closed his eyes and went to hug it. The soft thing slid across his cheeks, neck, chest and abdomen. The thing was a bit rough, as if with thorns...

"Honey, did you become a cat last night?" Cecil couldn't help asking after seeing Langdon.

"No." Langdon said innocently, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing, it's probably my illusion." Cecil put the matter behind him, "What about the person who looks like me?"

Langdon nodded to Guangshu. After the door opened, three men came in. If they looked real, they could almost be called a copy of Cecil in terms of simple facial features. Something is wrong. For example, he used to be short-sighted. Although he didn’t need to wear glasses, he would unconsciously squint his eyes when looking at things. After changing his body, his eyesight is no longer a problem. This habit is still preserved. For example, when he saw a magic item, he would squint his eyes unconsciously. They will observe repeatedly, trying to find out the special features over and over again. Fake people know magic, and they will unconsciously stare at the movement of magic energy, and they will show a blank expression when they encounter non-magic items.

"Is this really necessary?" Cecil asked helplessly.

"It is necessary." Langdon said firmly, "Unless you don't want to..."

"I want to! I want to! I want to!" Cecil said repeatedly.

During this period of time, Langdon took the little braid of "Westward Journey" and forced Cecil to do many things that he was usually unwilling to do. want to go.

Cecil's only pleasure was probably hiding in the research center.

In ancient China, very clear bronze mirrors could be made. Those blurry mirrors in TV dramas are just jokes. The earliest mirrors known to Cecil were recorded in the Qin Dynasty. At that time, only bronze mirrors were restricted by craftsmanship, and the so-called bronzes were actually not. It is not pure copper, but an alloy copper, which is made by fusing two or more metals.The mirrors at that time would add a small amount of lead to the bronze to obtain better fluency and lower the melting point.

What Cecil wants to do is Tang Jing. Tang Jing’s craftsmanship inherits the experience of the predecessors. The ratio of metal raw materials is [-]% copper, [-]% tin, and a little lead is added at the end. There are slight changes, but the general effect is the same. The mirror is also very stable. The only difference is that in the Tang Dynasty, silver was added to the mirror, making the Tang mirror appear silvery white. With colorful patterns and decorative gemstones, the appearance of the Tang mirror is very gorgeous and luxurious.

In this world, only the Middle Kingdom has mastered the alloy technology. Helen and Cindy burned countless money, which is a huge sum of money converted into magic coins. At the same time, they also left countless records of alloy ratios. Cecil can be proud He declared that when it comes to alloy smelting, the Middle Kingdom is the only and the best in the world.

A Tang mirror, Cecil just said hello, and the foundry quickly made it. He took a look at the mirror and couldn't help but lament that the industry is really a waste of money.

If it were any other ruler, the industry would have been cut down a long time ago. Such a money-burning thing has no direct output, and it is too cost-effective to get a little profit at a frequency of several years.Unlike magic, once a new magic is invented, it can immediately benefit countless magicians of the same level, and the cost is terribly low. After all, all creatures need food.Some spells require casting materials, and most of them are limited to natural materials. If it is a complex material, it is usually a large magic or a magic circle. The investment is large and the profit is large, and the effect is immediate.

When Cecil first crossed, he guessed that the world was polarized into upper and lower classes. The facts were just as he had guessed. However, these were not two invisible classes, but directly connected, just like Yin and Yang. The middle class acts as a buffer.

As the upper class, magic has surpassed the level of life and technology of the earth. After all, the earth cannot create a real "sky garden", and the lower class of non-magic has directly fallen into a situation where the feudal society is inferior. There is no way to spend money, let alone good things, all slightly normal things are made by magic, for example, the lower class can't even make a mirror, so these lower class people who have made money can only squeeze in as hard as they can. Going to the magic world on the upper level, the vicious circle formed is that the lower level is getting poorer and poorer, both spiritually and materially.

"Do you think anyone can change the world as easily as you?" Langdon said casually after listening to Cecil's theory, looking at the Tang mirror in his hand, "If you don't have any direction and keep groping for yourself, don't talk about enthusiasm. The cost will be spent quickly. Even you, don’t you take a lot of detours? Russell complains all day long that the foundry is like eating money, and that’s all cost.”

Cecil sighed: "Let's not talk about this, what do you think of this mirror?"

"Very good." Langdon took a picture of himself, "However, the demand for mirrors is not that great."

"But we are cheap, and the demand in the whole world is great." Cecil took the mirror happily, and the smooth round mirror looked a bit monotonous, "Do you know any people or businesses who are good at decoration? ?”

"Decoration?" Langdon thought for a while, and said, "The Xiangqi family has always focused on women's products."

Caroline Shanzi once thought that her life ended here, living out the rest of her life in this remote port city, but she got a chance, and it all started with a polite "conversation" with a grocery sales girl.Now, she is proud of her family, even surpassing many magic geniuses. She and Yuecheng, oh, no, it should be called the Central Kingdom now. The series of cooperation she negotiated with the Central Kingdom made the Xiangqi family in Luoye Bay The influence of the family has increased dramatically, and the family has gained huge profits and new contacts.

Mrs. Xiangqi did not hesitate when she received Cecil's invitation. She dressed up and went out. The central king never concealed his sexual orientation. All women don't have to worry about being harassed. She is very clear about the central king's straight-to-the-point character, and she did not dislike such an approach.Over time, she gradually became unable to bear the social etiquette of saying a 30-minute allusion first, which made her evaluation in the social circle somewhat lower, and to be honest, she didn't care at all.

Power is the best makeup, wealth is the most beautiful dress, Mrs. Xiangqi firmly believes in this saying.

Although Cecil said it was not an urgent matter, Mrs. Xiangqi still chose the Griffin to reach Moon City as quickly as possible to show her sincerity.

Today's Griffins have business offices in Moon City and Ebo, and they can be reached directly, but the price has not only increased to 2 gold coins, but also no longer provides high-altitude protective suit magic for free. In this way, there are not enough magic slots or no related magic People have to give up riding a griffin. She, who is still "affordable", also complains about this.

It's no wonder that the Griffon Walk, since the opening of the intercity carriages, riding a Griffin has become a real "rush".

It only takes more than three days for an intercity carriage to travel from Toto Port to Yuecheng. Along the way, it will pass through Haicheng and Tongcheng of the Serin people. Basically, there will be one city per day. There are convenient post stations along the way. The current carriage has also developed sleeper "Express train", you can sleep after getting on it, and don't rest along the way. The post station provides the service of changing horses and coachmen. Personally, it is much cheaper to divide one point, and if you choose the "slow train", one car can squeeze six people, let alone.

The fee is cheap, and the experience along the way is good. The horse-drawn carriage firm has been very popular since its birth.

Mrs. Xiangqi knew something inside. At the beginning, the owner of the Griffin Firm in Toto Port was very angry that the price of the carriage firm was too low, which caused the Griffin business to drop sharply. When it was run by an unknown little man, he decisively pulled out funds to build his own carriage firm.

Of course, the carriage was ordered from Yuecheng, and Yuecheng's carriage does not need to pay road maintenance fees on the cement road, which can save a lot of money.In fact, only the cement avenues in Yuecheng can have this kind of discount. However, almost all the cement avenues in Luoyewan are paved by people from Yuecheng or Gaoting, so this kind of discount has become a misunderstanding, and even appeared. However, someone walked the concrete avenue paved by Grete and made a fuss after being charged. It must be a funny incident of being cheated.

Nowadays, Griffin has become an expensive means of transportation that is only used in personal emergencies. The owner of Griffin Trading Company has repeatedly raised the price. The services that were originally provided for free, such as high-altitude magic protection, have also become paid items. Obviously, they no longer care about this. Part of the profit, I heard that his carriage business has a lot of income, because inter-city travel has become the daily life of the residents of this grassland.

Mrs. Xiangqi knew that it was not like this in the past, the city was like a dead land, otherwise how did the word "savage people" come about?

Luoye Bay is now enjoying unprecedented prosperity. Regardless of holidays or weekdays, those gray cement avenues are full of horse-drawn carriages, those who transport goods, those who visit relatives and friends, those who go to school, and those who go to work, seem to be some kind of strange magic. Coconut Bay is full of vitality.This kind of phenomenon became rarer the closer one went to the Glory Kingdom of Gretel. After all, the roads there were not so dense.

Mrs. Xiangqi has enough business acumen. Through different regions, she seems to see the future and the past, and it is self-evident which side she leans towards.

King Central is a real genius, Madam Shan Qi thinks so.

After arriving at the government building in Yuecheng, Mrs. Xiangqi found that the boss of the Griffin House was also there.

The name of the government building has been complained by many people, including Mrs. Xiangqi. She didn't understand why the palace had such a lackluster name. A six-story building is really not worthy of the title of a palace.

Cecil's attendants asked Mrs. Xiangqi to wait for a while, and the owner of the Griffin House entered the conversation first. She thanked politely and sat down in the waiting area to open the daily newspapers and magazines.There are such things as newspapers in Moon City now, and they will even spread to Toto Port, and other places want to imitate them, but Moon City has not sold printing technology, and it seems uneconomical to hire a magician to reproduce it at a high price, so, So far, only Yuecheng has exclusive possession of such things as newspapers.

Cecil does not intend to release something that is easy to guide public opinion. After all, there are very few illiterate people here. The power of newspapers and books can be imagined. It is possible to let other people master the printing technology, and it will be a while if it can be delayed.

Sometimes, Cecil also lamented the help of magic to industrial technology. The Magic Food Alliance speeds up the reproduction of microorganisms, and quickly obtains fermentation results, which is very convenient for experimenting with different formulas. He also invited a time magician to speed up the interpretation Verify the effect of the alloy.

The mage has mastered some time magic, is very expensive, and only accepts magic coins. When he heard Cindy's request, his face showed obvious contempt and anger. Later, he said that the price must be increased because "this kind of menial work affects my mood".

In the end, the matter ended in Langdon's face. He personally accompanied the mage to use time magic and sent him off respectfully.

Of course Cecil was very angry, but all his anger was quenched by Langdon's words: "I have learned."

"what?"

"His magic is not very advanced. It is quite simple in time magic. I have read the book before but never saw the actual operation, and it is nothing more than that today." Langdon said plainly, "If you need this kind of magic in the future, it is called Me, stop wasting magic coins, Russell is about to explode."

Cecil: "Won't that person be angry?"

Langdon: "Oh, hit me then."

Cecil: "..."

The mage still didn't come to Langdon to "settle the score", it's just that Langdon has gained a shameless impression in the mage circle since then, but he can't explain how shameless he is. After all, being seen once Just learning magic is not a glorious thing.

Cecil didn't have lemons that time and only felt true love. You know, the price of hiring that mage was worth a month's tax in Moon City, and Langdon could easily reach that level. If you are willing to work harder on magic, what kind of status and wealth can you get.

The boss of the Griffin Firm was invited to come for the hot air balloon. Although Cecil asked Danny and the flame goblins to study it, the intervention of experts is still needed for high-altitude transportation.

The Griffin Firm also has an alliance. It belongs to the government-run business of the Alma Coastal Alliance. The owner is a national of the Coastal Alliance. A contractor from Port Toto, named Clive, is thin and tall. The appearance is very kind, full of greasy characteristics of middle-aged people - it is really greasy, this guy always has a greasy face, I really don't know what's going on.

"Your Majesty, your idea seems feasible, but why do you want to do it?" Clive said hesitantly, "It's not because of my own business. You know, griffins are no longer my main business point. But this hot air balloon is not as practical as a griffin no matter how you look at it.”

"A gondola is of course not practical." Cecil smiled. "What if it is made into a ship? Imagine a ship hanging under a balloon, full of goods and people, and flying from one place to another."

Clive showed a look of surprise: "What a big balloon that must be!"

"Trust me, it will definitely succeed!" Cecil paused for a moment and added, "Anyway, don't name it Chengxing, Bao, or something!"

Clive:? ? ?

The central king was indeed a weirdo.

After seeing off Clive, Mrs. Xiangqi came upon summoning. Cecil and her were considered old friends, and the attitudes of both parties were much more casual.

Cecil took out the Tang mirror to Mrs. Xiangqi and said, "I need to make some decorations for this mirror."

Mrs. Xiangqi looked at the mirror repeatedly, and said with a hint of excitement: "It's really a wonderful thing, what's the cost?"

"This is a mineral. If the source of the ore can be discovered, the cost of one can be controlled below two gold coins. The main thing is that this thing needs to use silver." Cecil said, "It is possible to make a stable and clear mirror without silver, but there is no It’s so white, the color is not very good-looking, I think it can be made at two prices.”

"I understand, it's the same as soap." Mrs. Xiangqi said with a smile, "Different specifications can also be developed, such as full-length mirrors, small round mirrors that can be carried with you, vanity mirrors, etc."

"It's up to you. It's best to give me at least one hundred decorated Tang mirrors before May." Cecil said, "The more luxurious the better."

"Tang Jing? Is this a product of Tuhai?" Mrs. Xiangqi asked in surprise.

"It's just a title." Cecil explained, "You know, the guests at the magic fair are very generous, and they can't miss the opportunity to make money."

Mrs. Xiangqi sighed: "It's great, I want to see it too."

Cecil was taken aback: "Haven't you been there?"

"See what you said." Mrs. Xiangqi covered her mouth and smiled, "Only big countries, big civilizations, and some teams with a long history can be invited. We businessmen, no matter how big we are, have no chance."

Cecil thought that the Middle Kingdom hadn't been invited since it was promoted to civilization level, and suddenly came up with an idea.

"Mrs. Xiangqi, if you can participate in the magic fair if you pay, would you like it?"

Mrs. Shanzi's eyes lit up.
