The 115th chapter "secret"
The moons light are like water.
Darkness came much earlier than expected. With the moon hanging in the sky, its gentle light embraces all that is there throughout the land, making everything look serene and clean.
Slowly traveling on top of the highway leading to the capital is Du Wei and his carriages.
On this returning trip back to the capital, Du Wei specifically mentioned not to hurry and spend their time leisurely enjoying the scenery. As long as they can arrive in the capital by the deadline, then it is good.
Touring along the way, Du Wei was extra friendly towards Mage Clark and rode side by side with the old fella when they were on horseback. And if they were tired, Du Wei would even invite Clark to ride inside his carriage.
The cargo carriages of the Rowling household would of course be high quality. Made from a wide array of expensive materials and pulled by the most excellent breed of horses, the expense shouldn't need elaborating. To top it off, Du Wei made a series of modification like the velvet blanket laid on top of the seating's, this way, the riders wouldn't feel any sort of jolting motion.
Inside the carriage, there would certainly be good food and fine wine ready for consumption. Like this, Clark was able to experience quite a lot of good things along the way.
(I'm sorry guys, but this part sounded so homo to me lol)
On the trip, Clark didn't dally around and did his utmost to make their travel go smoother. Conjuring up several wind based attribute spell circles under the carriages, Clark's effort has consumed a large amount of effort and magic material.
Without objecting to Clark's meddling, Du Wei is in fact quite pleased. Stored inside the carriages are in fact magic materials like gems and crystals gifted to him by the magic union. If Clark can somehow aid him in making the coaches' move faster and more stable, he was not one to object.
Seeing the spell circle, Du Wei was secretly turning ideas in his head: "If such a small wind based spell circle can reduce the weight of a heavy carriage, then wouldn't a high tiered spell circle completely lift the horse up into the air?"
After listening to his words, Clark paused for a moment in thought before replying: "In theory it can, but fundamentally, wind based spells still have to rely on the power of the wind. To lift an entire carriage up into the air with just the wind, the amount of energy consumption is too high. Not only will such a spell waste the magic crystal involved, the amount of cost outweighs the benefit by a large margin."
Du Wei nodded with his mouth not saying anything, but he was secretly thinking this through: If a carriage can simply be lifted into the air by a simple magic spell, then it would be for the best. Unfortunately, Clark explained the astronomical cost involved would make this non practical for universal use. But if he can turn this around and find a way to make it viable for universal use, then even if he can't make an aircraft, he can still use this method to create an "air force".
Of course, in reality, it can only be a dream.
Clark was also slightly smiling because in his mind, he was secretly thinking: "Children are children, so whimsical. To make a horse fly in the air, does he know how much magic material he would need to waste? If not for his rich family background and the fact that he recently landed himself with a large number of gifts from the magic union, where would such a kid have the money? Just the material cost for this little endeavor is nearing 10,000 gold coins. If he really did make a horse fly in the air, the cost would no doubt be around 100,000 gold coins, and this doesn't even include the man power involved. For such an advanced magic layout, it would require a group of mages constantly injecting energy into the spell.
