Chapter 660 Familiar Names

Why is the Waitrose Empire so strict on foreign magicians?
It turned out that 40 years ago, Cyril, the current Emperor of the Waitrose Empire, had just married his lover Heloise... when a pair of people who admired each other were about to become a married couple.

Another nobleman, Dick, who also loves Heloise deeply, unexpectedly invited a group of magicians from abroad to assassinate them during their wedding ceremony.

In this assassination, Emperor Cyril survived by chance, but his lover Heloise fell into his arms and left him forever.

From then on, in addition to vowing revenge against the enemy, Emperor Cyril also imposed very strict restrictions on the magicians entering the empire, and even expelled a group of them indiscriminately.

Now that these restrictions have not been lifted, Zhou Ming has to hurry up and find a way to get that letter of recommendation under strict surveillance and the seven-day deadline.

It's just that in the huge city of Nirata, there are only a few elders of the Magic Association. If you want to connect them, ask them for help in writing a letter, and get it done within seven days, it is not a small difficulty.

Actually there is another way.

That is to gain the trust and appreciation of His Majesty Emperor Cyril, and obtain the qualification to join the nationality of the Waitrose Empire.

Only by becoming a member of the Waitrose Empire can you live freely here.

It’s just that this method is more difficult than getting a letter of recommendation. After all, the emperor is not so easy to meet. Even if you are eligible for naturalization, you must enter the Imperial Mages, serve the empire for three years, and perform well in all aspects before you can become a glorious Waitrose Empire. people.

So Zhou Ming completely ruled out the second method.

He could only manage to get a letter of recommendation.

how?
Money opens the way.

In order to break into this continent, Zhou Ming is not unprepared.

In the magic crystal card he was carrying, there was a deposit of 5000 million gold coins... so far he hasn't spent a single coin.

Four space rings with 1 cubic storage space on his hands (he has a total of 8 space rings, he wears four, gives one to Mr. Searles, two to his wife, and sells one to the old fox) Among them, there are more than 5000 bottles of various magic potions, hundreds of magic scrolls, and a large amount of materials... The total value of these things exceeds 1 million gold coins.

So with money to open the way, Zhou Ming fully has the capital.

In addition, Zhou Ming has a very good relationship with the Continental Chamber of Commerce. He is a strategic partner of the Continental Chamber of Commerce, so he can also use the connections of the Continental Chamber of Commerce to provide convenience for himself.

So in the next five days, through a series of divine manipulations, after throwing millions of gold coins down, Zhou Ming got three lines.

Successfully established contact channels with three elders of the Magic Association.

Two of the elders knew their names and one did not reveal their name.

In addition, they also found out the specific needs of the three elders.

The first elder, named Mirans, is currently raising funds to build a mage tower that belongs to him. The cost is about 5 million gold coins. If Zhou Ming wants to ask him to write a letter of recommendation, he must provide about 5000 million gold coins. Sponsorship, the other party agreed to help.

Otherwise, no discussion.

"Write a letter of recommendation and receive 5000 million gold coins, isn't that..."

Henry was stunned. Isn't this the lion's mouth?It's just a letter, how dare you charge so much money?
Zhou Ming shook his head. To a magician who has stepped into the legendary realm, millions or tens of millions of gold coins are nothing, but just a number. The key depends on his mood. If he is in a bad mood, He will open 5000 million or 500 million; if he is in a good mood at the time, it is possible to receive 1000 million or [-] million.

Obviously, this elder has a bad temper, and asking him for help requires a huge price.

The second elder is named Reynolds. He is a bit more talkative. He is a master-level pharmacist. He is currently preparing the legendary [Dragon Blood Potion], which can greatly improve a swordsman's physique. Due to the low success rate of the preparation of this potion, after many failures, the blood of the real dragon in hand was used up, and now a batch of blood of the real dragon needs to be replenished.

If Zhou Ming could help him get some real dragon blood, Reynolds promised to write him that letter of recommendation.

"Blood of the real dragon, do you want me to slay the dragon?"

Zhou Ming shook his head. Most of the dragons today live on the Dragon Island east of the East China Sea. The distance is farther than going to the Magic City. Agni 1 will have to fly for at least two years.

Moreover, the strength of dragons is very strong. Some dragons have strong physical attack power and are immune to magic attacks; there are also some magic dragons whose adult strength is basically above the legendary level.

With Zhou Ming's current strength, going to Long Island is simply looking for death.

So Zhou Ming couldn't fulfill the request of the second elder.

but……

Zhou Ming can completely fulfill the request made by the third unnamed elder.

It can even be done better!

Because the request made by the elder is: to buy a top-end version of the "flying backpack".

Not bad.

Jetpack.

Using the principle of the wind demon engine, the flying backpack that Zhou Ming worked on in the Dolan Empire spread to the Waitrose Empire a few years ago and became a flying device that was widely welcomed by magicians.

And in the city of Nyata, the largest flying backpack production organization is the Continental Chamber of Commerce.

Even the second-generation flight backpack launched by the China Chamber of Commerce and Industry, it can be clearly seen that a lot of it comes from Zhou Ming's design ideas.

So when they first received this request, Zhou Ming and the others were a little overjoyed. Isn't this God helping them?

However, that elder also put forward a rigid requirement: "The flying backpack I want, no matter in the sky or on the ground, must be faster than all flying backpacks!"

no problem.

No problem at all.

With the help of the huge computing power of the system, it only took one day for Zhou Ming to make 36 improvements on a top-of-the-line flight backpack, which not only reduced the weight by 11%. , the maximum speed of air flight has been increased by 22%, and the maximum speed of ground activities has been increased by 17%.

And Zhou Ming didn't spend a penny. His improvements are priceless in the eyes of the technical engineers of the Mainland Chamber of Commerce.

……

Summer Years, July 1th.

Zhou Ming and the others could legally stay in Nyata City for the last day.

When the improved version with flying backpack was delivered to the elder's home, Zhou Ming and the others could only wait for the news.

……

In the north of the city, in a Gothic-style independent villa with an average number of floors over five floors.

"Ding dong~"

After the magic doorbell rang, the servant opened the door.

"This is a gift from the Chamber of Commerce to Mr. Elder, please accept it." A person in charge of the Mainland Chamber of Commerce handed over the gift box in his hand and said.

"Okay." The servant took the gift.

In the afternoon, a 40-year-old man in the laboratory on the third floor finally came out after finishing his work.

The servant hurriedly reported to him: People from the Continental Chamber of Commerce sent a gift.

"Oh, they sent over the 'fastest' jet pack?"

Terry Gannis' eyes lit up, and asked the servant to bring the gift, and then took the gift, walked up to the top floor, unpacked the gift box, and took out the flying backpack that was so exquisitely crafted that he was amazed. Some couldn't wait, put the flight backpack on themselves, and conducted a test.

See if it is the fastest flying "flying backpack"?
After more than an hour of testing.

Return to the roof of the villa.

Terry Ganis had a big smile on his face.

"Winnie would love it."

"She's going to love this birthday present!"

"I bet, without that set of flying backpacks, it can fly at such a fast speed!"

Terry Gannis is extremely satisfied. His great-granddaughter is about to turn 27 years old. He has been thinking about what gift to give to his great-granddaughter for the past few days, but the great-granddaughter’s vision is more picky, and the gain is worth tens of millions. I don't like magic wands, and I don't particularly like all kinds of good-looking blessing gems and magic-gathering gems.

Considering that she has been practicing magic combat skills and trying to improve her speed all these years, Terry Gannis thought about giving her great-granddaughter a set of flying backpacks known as "the fastest flying" for her birthday. A gift that she will love very much.

However, as a high-level elder of the Magic Association, Terry Gannis never easily accepted gifts from others, and seldom helped unrelated people. It was his impartial and selfless character that allowed him to hold six consecutive Association elders.

But he accepted today's gift, and he is willing to help the other party's "little favor". As long as he makes his great-granddaughter smile, what does it matter if he gives up a little principle?
It's night time.

After finishing a day's study at Nyata Higher Academy of Magic, Winnie returned home.

All kinds of birthday gifts were placed in front of her.

Parents, grandparents, and great-grandfathers were all at home and offered their blessings.

Only then did she realize that today is her birthday.

As of today, she is 27 years old.

Mother Olivia gave her a magic doll in the image of a prince, and said, "Daughter, you are not young anymore, it's time to find a prince who belongs to you."

Winnie didn't bother to pay attention.

Her father, Innes, gave her a magic robe, which has powerful waterproof and fireproof functions, and has a strong defense force. He told her: "You often compete with others in the ring, so you must pay attention to safety."

Winnie nodded.

Grandpa Hall sent a few bottles of [Super Magic Potion], hoping that she would be promoted to a great magician soon.

"I just broke through to Grandpa yesterday, and I'm already a great magician." Winnie said with a smile.

Grandpa Hall had no choice but to say embarrassingly: "Then I wish you an early promotion to the legend!"

Hall Gannis was really embarrassed. Due to his lack of talent, his strength has been stuck at the level of a senior magician. He didn't expect that even his granddaughter surpassed him.

As for the flight backpack given by her great-grandfather, Winnie's eyes lit up the moment the gift box was opened.

When her great-grandfather said that it was a flight backpack customized by the China Chamber of Commerce and Industry that "flies the fastest regardless of air or ground", Winnie immediately put on the flight backpack and went for a circle outside.

more than an hour later.

Winnie is back.

She was very excited: "It's too fast, it's faster than I imagined!"

"Now I am no longer afraid of any opponent!"

"They are fast, I can be faster than them!"

"Great-grandfather, thank you for this gift, I like it very much!"

Winnie was very excited, and she was a little eager to try.

Because when the flying rucksack first appeared, she had the idea of ​​buying it, but she still wanted to test her limits, so in the arena, she did not wear the flying rucksack, and she had a lot of opponents wearing the flying rucksack. Competition.

The result was naturally quite embarrassing. Under the high-speed attack of her opponents, Winnie once thought of the man who had cast a shadow over her.

But she still gritted her teeth and persisted. On the one hand, she wanted to overcome the shadow in her mind; on the other hand, she hoped to exercise her reaction ability in a disadvantaged situation.

After two years of training, Wei Ni felt that she had made great progress.

Now, she got another set of "fastest flying" flight backpack.

Her self-confidence swelled immensely.

She believes that at the same level, her strength is no worse than any magician!

She even made a trip to the Yadude Kingdom to find that man, with the idea of ​​taking his life with an absolute advantage.

Let him see his progress, let him see her speed!

Then use his corpse to prove his growth!

In short, at this moment, Winnie's mood was unprecedentedly transparent and comfortable.

……

After a sumptuous dinner.

night.

In Terry Gannis' study.

A magic lamp was still lit.

Head buried at the desk, Terry Gannis was writing the letter of recommendation, as promised.

"Great-grandfather, why haven't you slept yet?"

Weini came in wearing a pajamas. Her room was downstairs from the study, and she had a bad rest habit.

Great-grandfather was writing hard in the study, the light of the magic lamp was very bright, and when his thoughts were not smooth, great-grandfather liked to stomp his feet on the floor, so it was no wonder she could enter a meditative state.

"I'm very sorry, Winnie, to disturb your rest, I'll finish writing right away."

Terry Gannis spread his hands and said to his great-granddaughter apologetically.

suddenly!

On the letter paper placed in front of great-grandfather, from the large paragraph of text, the sharp-eyed Winnie suddenly saw a familiar name!

An extremely familiar name that once made her unforgettable!
