Hashir: "Ah, yes, it takes away the old, weak, and disabled like me."
"How about a lute pick?" Gaines held up his hand, pinching the pick between his index finger and thumb.
"Are you planning to sell these talents to the church?" Wang said with a relaxed look, and then realized something was wrong. "Wait a minute, you are not planning to get off the boat... I mean, get off the island?"
A few seconds later, Gaines came back to life and sat up, staring at the gravity core in Wang's hand with wide eyes: "Torrag's horn! There is really electricity! How is it generated? Is it some kind of permanent magic?"
Wang: "Let's go to the church and see how strong the remaining knights are."
However, as the basket approached the ground, he finally saw clearly the "almost 400-year-old old woman."
Gaines frowned: "This can generate electricity?"
Gaines smiled and said, "I am a bard, and gathering intelligence is one of my duties. If you don't believe me, you can ask the drow in your team. She sneaks around everywhere all day to get information."
"I am a priest with eight-ring magic. I think I can play a significant role in your future adventures."
"We'll arrive today. I think we'll be on the same ship as the parish priest assigned by the church to the floating island."
Hashir: "Not everyone wants to leave the island, but some people prefer ordinary life to living on a legendary floating island. Besides, the church's price is very high."
The dwarf noticed the gaze and immediately took off his hat and saluted: "You are the Lord Mayor, right? I heard from Gaines that you need a dwarf who is proficient in electricity? I didn't expect that there are people among humans who know the wonders of electricity..."
Atoli came before the king and saluted respectfully: "Your Excellency, I am the nun who will serve as the parish priest of the temple in your city, Atoli Lansnot.
As soon as the bottom hatch of the airship opened for the gondola, Nini whispered: "I saw the half-elf. He is indeed an old man who is almost four hundred years old."
Wang: "I know this scene is visually striking and aesthetically significant..."
The passenger in the basket came out from the gap in the guardrail and opened his arms to Gaines: "Gaines! Old friend! Long time no see!"
Wang suddenly realized: "Oh, that's how it is, let me feel it."
"The Lizardmen may be able to mobilize all their soldiers, but we can't. We are just a group of ordinary people. The good news is that the Lancelot Church is ready to send a team of knights to participate in your salvation operation." Granny Hashir smiled, "As an army, they are much more capable than us."
Atoli smiled slightly: "Cardinal, you have the merit of suppressing the undead army. You are the next Pope."
As he spoke he squatted down and placed one of the gravity cores near Gaines's pick.
Wang: "How many people are ready to leave the island?"
Wang: "Stop laughing, treat him quickly, he has been electrocuted badly."
Cardinal Pietro, his guards, and the members of the salvation team waited for the airship to lower the basket.
Wang smiled and took out two gravity balls from his dimensional bag. One was recovered when he was attacked by the Arctic Union, and the other was recovered from another colossus the next day.
Rosalie laughed and said, "You haven't succeeded either. The conversation between you two is like an old married couple."
King: "We need an army to fight the cult, and now you are gone..."
Hasil smiled and shook the king's hand.
Hasher: "The Crusaders are preparing to rebuild Shallow Water City and restore shipping."
Wang: "They can't, but they will cause anomalies in the planet's magnetic field and create opportunities to cut magnetic flux lines. Do you have any long metal pieces on you?"
Wang: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"The person you're taking away is Nini. I wouldn't be so worried if it was Xiaobai." Elizabeth muttered softly.
Wang: "I don't know who will be on the Knights' team yet."
Elizabeth: “Feel it with your heart.”
"You know the captain of the knight squad. This squad will be led by Senior Knight Theresa herself. She is now arranging the handover of military affairs on the ground. This is an order from the Pope's Office." Pietro said.
Hasher: "There are about 600 people who are ready to stay. They are all young couples who are tired of Shallow Water City and want to find a new life."
The terrible conversation on the Savior Team's side made the Cardinal next to him frown, as if saying, "The fate of the world has to be handed over to these people, just destroy them when they are tired."
As he said this he held out his hand to Hasher.
Wang: "This is generally called a fire cloud. The principle of its formation is... why are you pinching me?"
Wang: "Okay, then... congratulations on your return home."
As soon as she came down, the basket was taken up.
The king turned to look at the dwarf bard, "Have the craftsmen arrived?"
Hasher hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "It's like this. In order to restore the shipping of Shallow Water City, the Crusaders need experienced pilots and channel dredgers. We in the Pelican Gang happen to have these two types of talents."
Pietro added: "At the same time, Ms. Atoli is also the supreme commander of the knight squad that we will be stationed on the floating island."
Xiao Bai: "Actually, it's more obvious if you look at the breasts. Nini has the most elastic breasts among us, while the old lady's breasts must be quite sagging."
Wang (at the same time): “It’s me.”
Wang squinted his eyes and looked for a long time, but until the basket began to lower, he still couldn't see the gold inlay, he only saw the white robe.
As he spoke, Elizabeth and Rosalie each tugged at his wizard robes.
Wang glanced at Rosalie: "So your conclusion is that we made a profit too?"
The king gently stroked Elizabeth's silver hair and said, "Don't worry, I'm very lucky. And I have guards with swords around me."
"The one with the gold-embellished robe."
Pietro: “Exactly.”
Wang: "Isn't this a young girl?"
Pietro: "No, no, I just suppressed the undead army. The lich was killed by the current Pope Pius X himself. The greatest credit belongs to His Holiness the Pope! It seems that your canonization is imminent."
"Karen's belly button!" The dwarf used this sentence to activate the healing spell, directing the soft holy light into Gaines, who was already foaming at the mouth.
"Is that him? Isn't the city lord the one who is well versed in the technology of the ancient Cyclops Empire?"
“It’s the same guy,” Gaines said.
The dwarf turned his head and looked at the king again, then lowered his head to straighten his clothes and rubbed his hat a few times to remove all the wrinkles. Then he pressed the hat to his chest and saluted respectfully: "So you are the great technician from the outer plane. I am so sorry. Please accept my apology."
Chapter 269 Knowledge for Loyalty
Wang accepted their compliments calmly, and then went straight to the point: "I asked you to come here to build a generator... Did you bring materials? Copper wire or something."
The leading dwarf craftsman took out a dimensional bag and said, "Of course we brought it, because you said we would pay according to how much materials we brought."
Wang: “Did I say that?”
As soon as he finished speaking he realized what was going on and turned to look at Rosalie.
Rosalie: "I said it. I asked them to bring a price list for the Thorn Islands."
"Here, here!" someone at the end of the technicians' team shouted, and then a price list was passed up by the dwarves. When it reached Wang's hands, it was already wrinkled and covered with grease.
Wang took a look and handed it to Rosalie.
Rosalie began to read the price list with a serious face, and Elizabeth leaned over to watch.
Wang assured the housekeeper that all the matters such as reconciliation were handed over to the housekeeper, and said to the craftsmen: "What I want you to build is a very simple structure. It doesn't even have a rotating mechanism. It will generate electricity just by placing it there."
"Now half my skin is grey and it's still like this. We have no ability to improve them at all because we don't know why it works this way."
The next moment, Bobby screamed and bounced backwards.
"Three Hairs" shrank his neck and timidly turned his gaze to Wang and Rosalie: "Well, because we are dwarves, we can't carry so many materials. So, so the dimensional bag is reasonable, husband, madam, you You don’t want your husband’s device to be half-finished with no materials, do you?”
Wang: "Anyone is fine. I'm going to start talking about my design."
The gray-skinned dwarf sighed, "Even if it's just once, can't you tell us why this happens? Why does this generate electricity? What is the gravitational core? Why does the anomaly of gravity generate electricity?"
Wang took out the simple device that used to electrocute Gaines before: "Let me demonstrate it to you. Come on, Bobby, hold both ends of this wire."
"As a result, the technology you spread to this dimension will remain the same as it was when you moved it here hundreds of years later. For example, our circuit system was like this when I was a pink-skinned dwarf.
After making sure that Bobby had a good grip, Wang took out the gravity core.
"Three Hairs" Bobby asked doubtfully: "Then what do you use to generate electricity?"
The three-haired dwarf looked back and forth at the faces of several humans, and cautiously asked: "So the matter of the dimensional bag is over? Then can I go back to the back of the team?"
As he spoke, the king took out a parchment scroll from his dimensional bag and unfolded it in the air.
"This is the main structural diagram of the generator. You can build it according to this."
Elizabeth: "She is not a lady! No! The king has never acknowledged her as a lady."
Wang: "Yes, we just... I never admitted it."
Rosalie corrected him, "We have received strong support from two great powers. At least my father was willing to pay for it."
Wang: "This is the gravitational core. We have two of them. They don't generate electricity, but they interfere with the nearby geomagnetic field lines."
"Eh? You want me to say it?" The three-haired dwarf craftsman was embarrassed. "This decision was not made by me..."
As for wrinkles, even dwarf babies have forehead wrinkles and crow's feet.
Rosalie: "Why is there the price of the dimensional bag in this?"
"But I didn't see any lightning? Theoretically, there should have been lightning that penetrated the air between the core and the wire, and that's why Bobby flew out!"
There has never been much hair on the dwarfs' heads, which is similar to the hair loss in humans, so if you only look at their hair, every dwarf looks like a little old man.
The dwarves looked at each other, and then one of them, whose skin had turned half gray, sighed and said, "You people from other planes always only tell us the most superficial things, and never tell us the underlying principles.
Xiao Bai: "You didn't even say the word 'fuck buddy'."
In order to see clearly, several dwarfs also took out optical magnifying equipment.
Xiao Bai: "Ah, someone is secretly happy about being called Madam."
"This thing can't generate electricity." A dwarf put down his magnifying glass and said firmly, "If I'm not mistaken, this device is not connected to the discharge core, so the electricity can't be transmitted!"
The only thing that can clearly identify a dwarf's age is skin color. People with pink skin are definitely young dwarfs.
Rosalie's expression softened.
A dwarf shouted: "What are magnetic flux lines?"
The dwarf craftsmen looked at each other, pushing each other, and finally everyone's eyes fell on a dwarf craftsman with only three hairs on his head.
Wang: "I will grow up too. Will we pay for the dimensional bag, or do we have no money left?"
Bobby held the wire doubtfully, the three hairs on his head twitching, reflecting his mood truthfully.
