Chapter 452: the establishment of the Internet cafe |
“Is the portal to Nolan closed today?”
The eldest son of the count, alterk, stood at the teleportation node in the middle of Fort Orson. He saw the magic light emitted by the teleportation node slowly disappear.
“Yes, Lord Alterk.”
A spell caster who was responsible for managing the teleportation node walked up to alterk and said respectfully.
“Every time Nolan’s teleportation portal opens, it requires three to six months of charging. The next time it opens might be during the fallen leaf moon.”
“Isn’t that six months later? !”
The young eldest son had an anxious expression on his face as he paced back and forth at the teleportation node like his father.
“What happened to Lord Alterk recently?”
The five spell casters who managed the teleportation node were also servants of the Cruz family. They were very clear about the eldest son’s character.
“Has he fallen for Nolan’s girl again?”One of the spell casters asked in a low voice.
The whispers of these spell casters were clearly heard by alterk. He glanced at the five old wizards who were managing the node.
“Do any of you know how to use the weave at Fort Orson?”Alterk asked the question he was struggling with with his last glimmer of hope.
“Use the weave?”
The voices of discussion disappeared in an instant. The five spell casters looked at each other, and their old faces showed a pained expression.
“So Lord Edelke is troubled by the same thing as us?”
“You don’t Know?”
Edelke looked at the troubled expressions of the five spell casters, and his heart thumped as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.
The Count of Orson Fort had sent the most powerful and wise spell casters in the whole of Orson fort to manage the teleportation node. These five spell casters could be said to represent the highest attainments of Orson Fort in magic.
Among them was the most skillful magic mechanic.
“The weave is a magic form that we’ve never come into contact with before. We’ve only used the weave for fifteen days, and we still can’t solve the problem of ‘losing the network connection’,”the spell caster said regretfully.
“Lord Aitke! About this… i… I have a solution.”
At this time, a young apprentice walked out from the bookshelf behind.
“Jesse! Lying is not a good habit!”A spell caster scolded the apprentice who popped out.
“It’s… It’s true! Mentors, I live in the twenty-second street. From the day before yesterday, I opened… an Internet… bar in that street.”
The Apprentice tried his best to recall, and then said the name of the facility.
“Internet Cafe?”It was the first time that Alterk had heard such a strange word.
“You can also call it the Magic Net Tavern, which is a place that can provide magic net services,”the young apprentice explained.
“It’s actually a tavern? Whatever, where in the twenty-second street? Get On My Magic Car and show me the way.”
Alterk did not care whether the apprentice was telling the truth or not.
After the portal to Nolan was closed, he had completely lost contact with the magic net. He could not log into the spellcaster forum, nor could he go to the game zone to find a new game.
This terrible feeling made attek feel a sense of isolation for the first time in his many years of life.
It would take at least three months to drive from Fort Orson to Nolan. During that time, he had not taken into account accidents such as the attack of magical beasts or the siege of bandits.
“Yes, Lord Aitke.”The apprentice followed Aitke obediently.
..
In the twenty-second street of Fort Orson, Aitke got off the magic car and looked up at the building in front of him.
“Are you sure this is the place?”
The eldest son of the count sounded a little angry.
“Yes… Yes, my Lord. You can connect to the magic net in this silver-patterned chamber of Commerce.”The Apprentice did not know where Aitke’s anger came from. He answered the eldest son of the count timidly.
Everything that happened half a month ago seemed to be vivid in EDKO’s mind. His father ordered him not to provoke Dorothy, the girl from the Chamber of Commerce.
Edko had no intention of meeting Dorothy because everything that happened to him in Nolan had undoubtedly humiliated him. If Dorothy saw him, she would only ridicule him.
But just as the son of the count was about to leave angrily, he saw the scenery inside the chamber of commerce through the transparent glass window and immediately stopped in his tracks.
It was the magic net!
Attek would not be mistaken.
The architectural style of the headquarters of the silver-patterned chamber of Commerce was completely different from half a month ago. The interior decoration alone had begun to transform from an ancient business guild to a new kind of tavern.
Most importantly, Edko saw someone using the weave in the tavern!
At this moment, Edko could only brace himself and walk into the Chamber of Commerce.
“Welcome!”
A maid came forward to welcome Edko.
He did not pay attention to the maid. Instead, he immediately opened the weave and looked at the ‘signal display’at the lower right corner of his weave interface.
The signal display at the lower right corner was still gray, which was the so-called ‘no network connection’state.
Was he really lying?
“Well, sir, if you are here to use the magic net, you need to go to the front desk to open the connection of the magic net first.”The servant girl did not seem to recognize Aitke’s identity, as usual, she began to guide the guests who came to this chamber of Commerce for the first time.
The connection to the magic net still needs to be opened?
Aitke followed the direction the maid pointed to and looked at the front desk. Soon, he saw Dorothy’s figure behind the front desk.
At this moment, Dorothy also raised her head and saw the eldest son of the count. He knew that if he retreated at this moment, he might be looked down upon by this girl!
Aitke walked quickly to the front desk. He found two translucent magic web interfaces appearing at the front desk. This interface looked different from the magic web he used.
One of the magic web interfaces was occupied by a lot of tables. A lot of strange data was recorded on the tables.
“Sir, do you want to use the magic web?”
Dorothy recognized Aitke, of course, but she didn’t care about what had happened before. Like a maid, she treated Aitke as a very ordinary customer.
“That’s right. I heard that this place can be connected to Nolan’s ‘Network’?”
Etke scanned his surroundings. The entire hall of the Chamber of Commerce had been transformed into a place like a meeting hall. People were sitting at densely packed long tables, separated by a partition with engraved patterns.
Occasionally, one or two young people could be seen sitting at the same long table, shouting and shouting something.
AITEC could confirm that the people sitting at those tables were definitely using the magic net, or the kind that could connect to the internet, but his network signal was still gray.
“Of course, you only need to pay a certain amount of money to activate the access to the magic net.”
“You still need to pay? You Don’t need to pay in Nolan!”AITEC said with a cold face.
“This is not Nolan, Mr. AITEC.”
Although Dorothy had a smile on her face, her voice gradually became a little tough.
“You only need five diluels to enjoy the magic net’s usage time, which is far more comfortable than in Nolan. If you don’t think it’s worth it, you can leave.”
“I hope you don’t Lie to me!”
The eldest son of the count took out five diluels and put them on the table. ‘diluels’was equivalent to Nolan’s silver coins, which was not expensive for him, who was born in an Earl’s family.
“Thank you. Let Me See.”
Dorothy’s fingertips waved on the transparent magic net interface. After she clicked on a light green node, Edke really saw the gray signal in the lower right corner of his hand turn green again! It was still full!
“You can choose any seat and sit down. There are better facilities there for you to experience the magic net,”Dorothy said.
Seeing the signal of the magic net turn from gray to green again, the depression and anger in EDKE’s heart were quickly swept away by a joyful mood.
After he found a remote corner in the tavern and sat down, the son of the count saw two… strange magic-conducting machines on the table.
One of them looked very much like the virtual keyboard on the magic net, but the keyboard on the table looked like it was made of some kind of glue material, there was also something that looked like a ‘mouse’that was made of primary crystals on the side.
Was it locked?
The Count’s eldest son wanted to move the two things that looked rather annoying on the table, but he found that he could only move within a very small range with his own strength.
The table seemed to be engraved with a special inscription magic.
And just as Attek’s hand touched the two objects, a message popped up on his mana net interface.
‘new equipment connected. Do you wish to activate it?’
New… equipment?
Edke subconsciously clicked ‘confirm’. The keyboard made of unknown materials and the ‘rat-like’primary crystal in front of him suddenly emitted a dim light.
When EDKE tentatively reached out his hand to touch the primary crystal, a pointer appeared on the table.
Was this a substitute for the touch of the hand? Edelke quickly discovered that the function of the crystal was to substitute for the touch of the hand. Even the virtual keyboard on the magic net had become a product of the real world!
The feeling of the touch ringing on it! The mechanical texture soon caused the son of the count to immerse himself in the virtual world.
..
Dorothy glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. The time on it was already one o’clock in the morning.
According to the normal routine of the people of Orson Castle, this time should be the time when most people went to bed. Even the streets outside were quiet. Only one or two crystal lamps were shining.
However, when Dorothy looked at the hall of her chamber of Commerce..
“Attendant! Give me a croissant and milk!”
“A cup of hot black grass leaf juice over here!”
“Okay! Right away!”
The five attendants were busy walking back and forth with a large tray of food in their hands. Although the number of guests in the Chamber of Commerce Hall was much less than during the day, it was still very… lively.
At this time, Dorothy finally understood why Joshua had told her to ‘hire the night shift’before he left.
After all, it was the place where the name of the tavern was hung up. It was the most basic requirement to be open 24 hours a day.
This scene made Dorothy miss the Hearthstone Tavern far away in Nolan.
Unfortunately, Joshua did not have the time to move the machinery to play with the Hearthstone here. He could only wait until the next teleportation door opened.
“Miss Dorothy, I’m here to change shifts.”
A young maid walked to the front desk. This maid was Dorothy’s personal attendant. She had obviously just woken up. Her long, flaxen hair was a little messy.
“Anila, do you know what I taught you?”
Before Dorothy went back to rest, she made a final check on the maid’s operation.
“Miss! The gentleman from D-3 wants to add another two hours!”Someone ran to the front desk with a pile of silver coins.
Dorothy stood behind the maid and watched as she carefully controlled the ‘Internet Cafe Terminal’written by Joshua. Although the operation was still a little rusty, she did not make any fatal mistakes, and she successfully completed the operation of the overtime.
“Leave the Miss to me. You’ve been standing here for a whole day. I can manage it well.”The maid rolled up her sleeves and looked very energetic, it seemed that the girl had gradually adapted to the night life.
“Alright… make me a cup of black grass leaf juice. I’ll bring it to my room.”
This was the third day of the silver-patterned internet cafe’s opening, and Dorothy’s maid was also on the third day of her shift.
At first, Dorothy wanted to recruit some nocturnal humanoid creatures to be on duty, but after careful consideration, other than the legendary blood breeds and dark elves, there didn’t seem to be any other intelligent species that had the characteristic of nocturnal travel.
So, Dorothy could only return to her room under the suggestion of the maid, but she didn’t immediately lie down on her bed. Instead, she waved her hand and opened the interface of the weave.
‘The third expedition to the Twilight Zone! is everyone ready?’
‘Dorothy, not online.’
‘has that Dragon appeared yet? !’
Dorothy looked at the string of messages that popped up on her own message from the weave, and the tired expression on her face was instantly replaced by a satisfied smile.
‘My work is over. I’ll be there soon. Have you found the new land of the last shadow?’
‘the door has been found.’Fuya quickly sent Dorothy a message.
‘send me the coordinates!’
Dorothy logged into my world. She picked up the black grass leaf juice beside her and took a sip. The bitter feeling in her mouth swept away her exhaustion.
Humans were probably the third intelligent race that possessed nocturnal nature apart from the blood breeds and dark elves.
After all, the night was so long. It would be a waste to spend it all on sleeping.
‘Fuya dragon-slaying squad, set off!’
‘last time, it was called Fuya. This time, it should be my name!’
Dorothy’s pupils reflected the faint light from the magic net interface. Even though she was thousands of miles away from the people in the game, looking at these messages, she could feel that they were right beside her.
