Chapter 337 Sales Promotion
The captain of the Bluebird had noticed Saul long ago.
In fact, from the moment Saul boarded and presented the silver invitation, he had never stopped tracking and observing Saul.
“This balloon is filled with the latest achievements of the Biden Academy in recent years. They call it 'Uplift Gas.' With it, we don't have to worry about being blown to smithereens at any moment when sailing.”
After speaking, Captain Harry looked at Saul's unsurprised expression, chuckled, and said, “I apologize, how could you not know about Uplift Gas, haha.”
This captain's identity is probably not ordinary either. He is the first person to actively strike up a conversation with Saul in the past three days.
“Does the Biden Academy often do this kind of research?”
“Yes, you might find it strange that wizards would make things for ordinary people. But beneficiaries like me are actually very grateful to the Biden Academy… even though their things are very expensive.”
Captain Harry shrugged and sighed, “Who would have thought that the wizarding forces from the No Man's Land would be the first to open up to ordinary people? It is said that some of the designers there are ordinary people.”
“No Man's Land?” Hearing this place name, Saul's heart stirred, “The Biden Academy came from the No Man's Land? Does it have anything to do with the Drooping Hand Valley War a hundred years ago?”
Who would have thought that Captain Harry, who could speak to Saul without changing his expression and enthusiastically discuss the Biden Academy, couldn't help but shudder when he heard the words “Drooping Hand Valley.”
“Yes, that was a hundred years ago, and very few people mention it now.” The captain was a man who had seen storms and quickly regained his dark complexion under the blowing wind, “Actually, the Biden Academy was the other side that fought against the Kema Empire at that time.”
“Oh?” Saul didn't know much about that war. New apprentices in the wizarding world, like him, only knew that the Kema Empire was defeated, and hundreds of wizards and apprentices fell in Drooping Hand Valley.
“How do you know this history?”
The wizarding world is not a place that emphasizes historical education. Moreover, some dangerous history may bring serious pollution, so ordinary people dare not learn it.
“I used to work at the Biden Academy. This airship is what I bought with all my salary.” Captain Harry stroked the railing in his hand, looking very fond.
Although Saul also liked this airship very much, he was more interested in the Biden Academy, “I only know that the other side involved in the battle directly dispatched higher-level wizards, using the terrain to bury an army of Kema… Of course, you don't have to say if it's inconvenient from your standpoint.”
Unexpectedly, Harry didn't show any embarrassment.
“It's nothing, sir. The Biden Academy doesn't avoid that history. One of their instructors even proactively told me about it.” Captain Harry waved his hand.
At this time, another gust of wind blew, and even the airship began to sway from side to side. He quickly let go of his hand and tightly grasped the fixed railing. After a while, he continued, “Almost everyone who works at the academy or has a close relationship with the students knows. They believe it is a courageous spirit of innovation, just like they are constantly developing new wizarding tools.”
Saul smiled slightly, without commenting.
Anyway, he only knew a rough idea of the truth of that period of history.
“Enough about that, is the gas generation formula in your airship for sale?” Saul pointed to the balloon above his head.
Captain Harry shook his head skillfully, “Sorry, sir, even if I knew it, I couldn't give you this one.”
Saul wasn't surprised. He was just asking, “This is the Biden Academy's internal secret. You only have the right to use it, right?”
“The right to use… um, that's a very sophisticated term.” Harry's eyes lit up, praising sincerely, “Yes, all the crew members involved in the power reaction and I are under a curse from the Biden Academy. They call it the Contract Curse. It is said to be a curse based on the conscious body. Those who violate the oath will have their hearts and livers rot.”
Another magical wizarding tool!
Captain Harry saw Saul's eyes light up and knew that he had achieved his goal. He finally revealed the real purpose of coming over to talk to Saul.
“Sir, I also have some magical and rare tools like this here. If you are interested, I can give them to you at a discount!”
Saul glanced at him, “You're really bold, a commoner selling things to a wizard. Aren't you afraid that I'll just rob you and run?”
Captain Harry smiled, “You are a distinguished lord of the Wizard Tower. I wouldn't dare say that to other independent wizards.”
Saul knew that this sentence was more of a subtle compliment.
This Harry must have something to rely on to dare to sell things to wizards. There may be trump cards on the ship that he doesn't know about.
“Then, please lead the way.” Saul nodded. He was naturally not afraid of any ambush on the ship.
Half an hour later, Saul walked out of the captain's room with a strange expression.
This Captain Harry is indeed a businessman, with a whole set of sales techniques.
Moreover, the prices of the things he sold were extremely high, even a third-level wizard apprentice like Saul found it a bit unbearable.
Saul didn't try to put on a show of wealth. Instead, he cautiously selected some tools that he was interested in and that he would likely use in the future.
The Contract Curse was one of them, but Saul bought the disposable kind and didn't get the formula for creating the Contract Curse.
Captain Harry said that this thing was only sold at the Biden Academy, and the price was even sky-high.
After Saul bought the first item, Harry heavily recommended a long-range communicator. He said that with this thing, the two parties holding the communicator could talk freely hundreds of miles apart, but if there was a wizardry defense array, the underlying principles of the array needed to be entered into the communicator to ensure the input and output of the signal.
“Isn't this just a walkie-talkie?” Saul sighed at the Biden Academy's convenient research, but he didn't buy it.
First, because it was inconvenient for him to use it in the Wizard Tower. He couldn't possibly enter the underlying defense principles of the Wizard Tower into the communicator. It was only suitable for people living alone, and there were also hidden dangers.
Second, because he wanted to buy something else, and his funds did not support him buying both at the same time.
Captain Harry didn't have many goods here, but each one was very suitable for wizards traveling outside.
The other thing Saul bought was a compression bag. It was said that the Biden Academy had spent a lot of money to introduce space compression technology from another continent.
This bag could expand the space inside a 10 cm edge cube pocket to a 3-meter edge space. Taking a compression bag out is like taking a house with you.
However, this bag cannot hold living things, and it has no defensive capabilities of its own. However, the Biden Academy provides one free repair, and the second time you have to pay.
After Saul took down this compression bag, he felt his waistline instantly shrink. Then he decided to leave.
But before he left, Captain Harry heavily recommended a secret item to him.
It was a hidden display case hidden in the wall of the cabin.
After the masking curtain wall was opened, it revealed a lifelike and charming young woman model.
But Saul could tell at a glance that it was just a puppet.
“Isn't this a Land Ark puppet? You even sell Land Ark goods?”
