Pompeii Town, a prime location close to the center, next to a small square.
The four-story stone building of the business point stands here. People come and go at the exit, and many wizards come here to handle business.
In a room on the first floor, Inogova found two different documents from her desk, pushed them in front of Richard, and said: "Wizard Richard, the document on the left is proof that you have temporarily given up your current residence. , the document on the right is proof that you retain the priority for choosing a residence in the future, and the place for signature is at the end, you can read it in detail."
"No need." Richard smiled, picked up the quill pen in the pen holder next to him, dipped it in ink, and quickly signed his name at the signature places at the end of the two documents.
He put down his pen, pushed the two documents in front of Inogova, looked at Inogova and asked: "Do you need me to do anything else now?"
"The last step is left. Go to Supervisor Rommel to review it." As Inogova spoke, she picked up two documents and walked out from behind the desk and walked out the door. "Come on, I will take you a piece of paper." .”
"Okay." Richard did not refuse and stepped to follow.
…
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Amidst the sound of footsteps, the two came to the second floor.
In front of a room at the end of the corridor on the second floor, Inogova stopped and knocked on the door.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk…”
"Come in." Rommel's iconic voice came from the door.
With a creak, Inogova pushed the door open and walked in with Richard. She saw Rommel sitting upright behind a large desk inside the door.
Inogova came closer, whispered quickly to Rommel, explained the basic situation, and then placed the two documents signed by Richard on the table.
Rommel glanced at the two documents and was slightly surprised. He raised his head and looked past Inogowa towards Richard.
"Wizard Richard, are you ready to leave Pompeii?" Rommel asked.
"Yes." Richard responded and repeated the explanation he had given to Inogova before, "I have encountered some difficulties in my research. There is no hope of solving them in a short time. There is no point in staying in Pompeii. If you want to use it, why not go back to Jialan City. Besides, Pompeii Town’s energy system is damaged and it’s impossible to use it in the short term. It’s better to wait until the energy system is repaired and stabilized before I come back.”
"Indeed." Rommel nodded in agreement, "Under the current circumstances, it is understandable that you leave Pompeii. However, when building the new energy system, if I encounter any problems when I ask you, I still hope that you can actively answer them."
"Of course, it is my obligation to serve the organization." Richard said seriously.
"That's good." Rommel said, his tone changed, and he said again, "By the way, don't be too anxious if you encounter problems in your research. I am very optimistic about your research. I believe that if you continue to study according to your ability, sooner or later There will be gains. Of course, if you really encounter an extremely difficult situation and feel that you can't overcome it in a few years, I also welcome you to return to the right path and study other valuable things, such as magic patterns."
"good."
"If you have any needs now, you can always ask the organization." Rommel said, "You are now a core member of the organization, and we are both people who pursue the truth under the guidance of the true God, so you are welcome."
Is this the warmth of the organization... Richard looked at Rommel and said with a smile: "There is not much need now. If we really want to say it, it may be to transport all the furniture and experimental instruments packed in the current residence safely back to Jialan City , a bit cumbersome.”
"Transporting things?" Rommel listened and said with some agreement, "That is indeed not easy. Although you have a space prop issued by the organization not long ago - a black iron-level ring, the capacity is limited and you can carry some supplies. Fortunately, it won’t work if it’s really used for moving. Some larger things won’t fit in at all.
In fact, if you work hard and become the director of the organization based on your contribution to the organization and personal ability after a while, and wear a silver-level ring, the situation will be better - the volume of the space props will be expanded.
But then again, even if the silver-level space props are expanded, the expansion is limited. Even the gold-level ring I wear and the fancy-colored diamond-level ring above it cannot hold all kinds of things as I wish and in unlimited amounts.
The advantage of making a ring into a space prop is that it is easy to use, but the price that comes with it is that it is too small. If you really want to use space props as a warehouse, only some space boxes will suffice. However, the technology of space boxes has been lost. Existing space boxes are very rare in the organization, and I heard that several have been lost before.
Therefore, your problem of transporting things is really difficult to solve. Either ask other wizards to help you transport things back to Jialan City, or transport them back in the most conventional way using a carriage. Or, as I said, study the magic pattern carefully. Maybe you can create a new magic pattern vehicle to transport everything back easily - this is consistent with the identity of a wizard. "
Richard knew that the last words Rommel said were more of a joke, but after hearing the words, he still felt moved in his heart.
Speaking of which, this was not the first time that he had thought about the fact that the current transportation methods in the wizarding world were really backward. As a wizard, you can either use spells and your body to travel, or you can only travel by carriage, boat, etc. like ordinary people.
Using spells to rush on the road is acceptable for a short time, but it will be a big test for the wizard over time. After all, the mana and free energy elements in the magic source are not infinite and need to be meditated and replenished. Seriously speaking, the current long-distance transportation methods in the world are actually the same for wizards and ordinary people - there is no difference.
Higher-speed aerial vehicles such as eagle towers, flying mounts, and aerostats have not even been seen in this world.
According to logic, these means of transportation can be developed and widely popularized under the influence of the wizard's extraordinary power.
But no.
The transformation of transportation has a huge role in promoting the development of the world. The current backwardness of the world's transportation has, in a sense, dragged down the world.
Is this because the destruction of ancient civilizations caused this type of related knowledge to be completely cut off from inheritance and therefore stagnant
Or, is there some kind of hindrance that is invisible
After all, when flight technology really develops, it can easily involve astronomical knowledge, and if astronomical knowledge is further expanded, it will involve the universe.
The exploration of the universe has the potential to change the entire world view - for example, on Earth, it is because of the continuous exploration of the orbits of planets such as the Earth, Mars, and the Sun that Kepler's Laws and Newton's Three Laws were developed, opening up A new physical worldview.
Of course, the exploration of the universe may also lead to extremely tragic consequences - Bruno, who promoted heliocentric theory on earth, was tried by the Inquisition and burned at the stake in the Campo de' Fiori in Rome in 1600. It was only over 400 years ago...
