In the process of moving things off the airship, Lin didn't ask the two goblins for help. On one hand, they were weak and useless. On the other hand, he had something to tell Totokani.
He led the goblin to the pilot's seat and reached for the Hawaiian Grass Skirt doll. He said, "Totokani, try to start the Sid again."
Although the goblin didn't understand, he still did as he was told. He turned the ignition switch a few times, but the Sid didn't respond. It wasn't until Lin Huang put the doll back in place that the goblin successfully started the Sid. The magic authority was transmitted to every mechanism through the magic array carved on the cabin wall.
Lin Huang pulled the doll away. At this moment, the Sid seemed to be disconnected from the energy assembly. All the magic authority quickly faded and became dim.
The goblin was surprised by this scene and asked, "What's going on?"
"Just think of it as something more delicate than the key device you're used to using." As he spoke, Lin Huang handed the doll to the goblin and said, "According to the previous agreement, the Sid is in your hands, Captain. Although I didn't send anyone to supervise, you won't deliberately delay the payment for the airship, will you? "
According to the agreement, the Sid was in the hands of the goblin, but the ownership still belonged to Lin. Lin Huang and the goblin would split the profits of each flight fifty-fifty with the goblin father and daughter. However, the goblin would get fifty percent of the profits, including the purchase of supplies, fuel, and simple repairs.
In the future, Totokani would have to come to Lin regularly and hand over the money he earned during this period. When Lin Huang needed to use the airship, Lin Huang had the right to use the Sid first. These details were recorded in black and white, and both parties had signed in agreement. This was the previous agreement.
However, would the goblin be so obedient and fulfill the agreement completely? Lin Huang was very confident that Totokani would never do that. This was the nature of goblins. They were cunning and a little clever. Lin Huang also didn't observe a different personality from other goblins in Totokani.
For Lin, rather than finding ways to monitor whether the Gnome had handed over his profits, he should consider a more important problem. Had the Gnome sold off the Sid at a cheap price, or had he made some changes that Lin Sanjiu did not want to see? Therefore, Lin felt that he had to tell the Goblins about some of his backup plans.
After a few strange laughs, he said, "Totokani, I think I have to warn you about a few things that you must not do."
The goblin, who had a slight understanding of the mage's personality, knew that nothing good would come out of it when the mage laughed in such a strange manner. But since he had already said so, she had no choice but to ask for clarification. She could only say, "Sire, please tell me. I will definitely do as you say."
"First of all, there are some taboo names that can't be spoken in this airship. For example, the name of your previous airship or some other name you came up with. Don't be unconvinced, and don't think that it's nothing. You'll know once I show you the results. The Hindenburg. "
As soon as the key word was uttered, a red light flashed inside the Sid. At the same time, a water mirror screen automatically appeared in front of the main driver's seat, displaying a warning message: Warning, a taboo term has appeared, please do not mention it again. Remaining chances of forgiveness: II (2). When the remaining tolerance was zero, the airship would self-destruct.
Totokani looked at the warning written in the common language on the screen and asked dumbfoundedly, "This... this is?"
Lin Lie smiled and suddenly said quickly, "The Hindenburg, the Hindenburg, the Hindenburg."
The chances of forgiveness on the screen quickly decreased to zero. After it was mentioned for the last time, the warning red light inside the Sid flashed again and again, no longer turning off. The warning message on the screen was also replaced by a countdown timer.
At the same time, the magical authority that represented the inauspicious began to spread along the magic array patterns in the cabin walls toward the equipment in all directions. The power output was so great that it began to overflow from the magic array patterns, indicating that the magic array was on the verge of going out of control.
"This is... this is..." Totokani was a creature of the mysterious land, after all. He knew very well what this overflow of power meant and was even familiar with it. The prelude to the big explosion that he had accidentally caused was most likely something like this. And this time, the scale was even larger than any of the times he had encountered before.
The goblin, who was about to run away, was grabbed by the back of his collar by Lin Lie. At the same time, his left hand operated the keyboard and entered a long series of commands. Lin Lie removed the danger of self-destruction and reset the number of chances of forgiveness. He then said, "Now you know what will happen if you change the name of the airship to something I don't like."
"This... can be removed?" Totokani looked at the Sid that had returned to normal. His original worry and fear turned into a gleam in his eyes. He asked, "Can you tell me how to remove it?"
"Hehe, that's where the fun part is. I can't tell you how to remove the self-destruction. So if you, or anyone else, violates the taboo that I set on the Sid, then BOOM! "Lin Lie made an exaggerated expression and made a blooming gesture with his hand.
Knowing that this was another way to control him, the goblin's face fell. He asked bitterly, "Then can you tell me how powerful this is?"
"Not very powerful. When you see the countdown start, you will probably rush away from the Sid. If you are lucky enough to find something hard enough for cover, you should have a chance to survive. "
The goblin trembled and said in shock, "This... this is not considered powerful?"
"In my opinion, if the explosion is powerful enough, even if you start running after seeing the countdown, it will be too late. Although goblins are very good at making things that can explode, when it comes to explosions, we Mages are still the ancestors. In terms of power, in terms of controllability, nonsense, you are not good enough. "
Totokani's already wrinkled green face became even uglier. But there were still some things that he had to clarify. "Then, Sir, what other taboos are there on the Sid? You can tell me these, right? "
"Basically, if anyone tries to dismantle any of the Sid's equipment, just run. I don't want anyone to dismantle my painstaking efforts. Of course, that includes you. If there is a serious malfunction and you can't fly the Sid to me, just contact me or my two apprentices. "
"Okay," Totokani responded in disappointment.
Although he didn't ask for details, he could guess what the goblin was disappointed about. But Lin didn't intend to overturn his previous decision. He only patted Totokani on the shoulder and walked down the airship that had already emptied his luggage. There were still many things to be done after that.
By the time everyone settled down, it was already the middle of the night.
Because the following arrangements had not been confirmed, Lin didn't casually decide to buy a house to stay in. Besides, this was not something that could be solved in a day. Because of this, everyone chose to stay in a clean and comfortable inn for the time being.
Because there were so many people, it took Urquhart, who was in charge of leading the way, a lot of effort to find a suitable inn. It wasn't easy to find one that everyone was satisfied with. The main reason was the Dark Dragon Augustus.
Although he used humanization magic to transform himself into a human, the Draconic Aura still existed no matter how oppressive it was. Staying by his side might not make one feel anything for a while. But after a long time, there would be various symptoms of discomfort. Unless one stayed longer, one would gradually become immune to it.
Back in Abadan, they could stay in an inn safely. To be honest, it was a bit like bullying the inexperienced owner for not realizing such a problem.
But where were they now? The holy land of mages, one of the few places of knowledge and learning in the Maze World. Augustus's identity could not be hidden at all. Moreover, information about a certain person had been widely spread recently. Even if others did not pay attention, they would at least know that there was a mage, a Lich, and a Dark Dragon in this group.
Therefore, most inns that did not have enough magical protection could only politely refuse Lin and the rest.
It was only until a luxurious inn opened by a retired mage who was no longer on the frontlines of battle with her husband and apprentice that they finally accepted them. In the process, Urquhart even asked her teacher to use his connections to get the senior mage to agree to accept them.
As for the Dark Dragon, it was really not a problem for this inn opened by a mage. This was because their customer base was originally targeted at distinguished guests from different dimensions. It was as if someone had just entered the door and saw a Mind Flayer with an octopus head walking past at the end of the corridor …
It was because the customer base was a little special that the senior mage would be especially careful in choosing his guests. If they did not know the other party well, confirmed that the other party was well-behaved, or had an acquaintance as a guarantee, they would not accept them at all. But as long as they could enter, the other party's attitude was still very amiable. They did not have the innate arrogance of mages or residents of the Holy City.
But although they were amiable, the inn in the Maze World was still very different from the hotels on Earth in terms of service. The main point was that no one helped to move things. In fact, this was also to avoid disputes that might arise from breaking things, especially the mage's items. People who did not know the characteristics of the items could casually touch them, and the explosion would be a small matter. All kinds of strange curses could sometimes be difficult to remove even for the mage himself.
In the past, when they stayed in inns, they would usually rent out small courtyards to caravans. The most important thing was that there was a warehouse and a stable. In the past, they had used their own carriages, which could be parked directly in the warehouse and save the time of moving things up and down. But this time, the carriages were rented and could not be used for anything. Therefore, moving things and organizing things took a lot of time.
And this was after they had taken the Airship. Most of their belongings had been invested in the self-rescue mission of repairing the Airship. They had lost a lot of rare magic materials, so today's labor was reduced by a lot.
Thank you Lich for your persistence, Lin gritted his teeth.
"What's wrong? What are you looking at?" The Lich's beautiful eyes were as sharp as lightning, as if they could pierce through a person.
Lin retreated in defeat.
