The day after the competition, Lin Lang asked for leave from his class teacher with ease and left Chihuo Yard with the leave note.

On weekdays, there are no buses between the three major colleges and Avariloya. Lin Lang can only book a carriage online and ask the driver to drive to the area near Chihuo Academy to pick him up.

In the entire Kingdom of Simmel, except for Avaliloa, no other city has access to the network, and the excessive number of free electrons in the ionosphere of the world of Gelton seriously affects the operation and lifespan of satellites, making it impossible to use satellites to form a communication network.

Therefore, until now, the most convenient way to contact other territories is to make a phone call.

Due to the extraordinary power of other worlds, the productivity of other worlds at the same time is not comparable to that of the earth before entering the industrial age.

The same is true for the Girton world. Because of its magic, its productivity far exceeds that of the Earth in the early industrial era.

The Kingdom of Simmel uses magic to lay a large number of telephone lines on the kingdom's land, and even in Avaliloa, the kingdom's border fortress can be contacted.

The improvement of communication capabilities has allowed the king to have greater control over the country and touched the interests of the nobles. The conflict between the royal family and the nobles may have originated from this.

Click click click click...

The draft horses silently pulled the carriage, and the driver sat in a high driving seat, giving a clear view of the scenery ahead of the road.

"Sir, the outer city of Avariloa is ahead," the coachman reminded.

In fact, without the coachman's reminder, Lin Lang also heard the sound of horse hooves and rolling wheels around the carriage, mixed with slight voices.

Ivariloa is a city located on many hills. It is known as the "city of mountains". The most common thing in this city is the undulating slopes and buildings. The city is not divided by streets.

, but through the top of the mountain.

For example, the royal city is the highest mountain in Avaliloa. The royal palace is centered on the top of the mountain and spreads out along the slope to the foot of the mountain. A towering city wall is built along the foot of the mountain, forming a circle and surrounding the entire mountain.

Surrounded.

Although there is a lot of flat land in Avarilloa, the reason why many buildings in this city are built on hills is that there is no sewer construction within the city limits. Once it rains,

The garbage accumulated on the hills will flow down the slopes and merge into the flat areas.

Over time, more and more buildings choose to be built on hills, and flat land is considered by default to be a place for poor people to live.

The definition of the city of Avariloa and the outside world is very vague. The Kingdom of Simmel does not have the ability to build a city wall to surround this huge city. Therefore, the city is expanding almost every year, and the expanders are also

It’s none other than someone who came to Avariloa from other places and wanted to find a job and experience the prosperity here.

The city is getting bigger and bigger, but the city managers don't have so much energy and manpower to manage it, so they roughly divide the city into the outer city, the inner city and the royal city.

The outer city is the urban area expanded by outsiders, and the inner city is the urban area originally planned by the city. The security team basically only patrols the inner city area, and the outer city accommodates most of the darkness and coldness of the city.

Lin Lang looked out from the glass window of the carriage and saw the scattered farmhouses on the hill on one side of the road. The contiguous wheat fields were like a quilt covering the hillside, spread along the gentle slope.

One of the most surprising things about Avariloa is that there is farmland in this city. Unlike other cities where farmland is basically cultivated outside the city, in Avariloa , as long as it is a hill with a gentle slope, it will be used as agricultural land. The king even issued many decrees for this purpose, only allowing farmers to build buildings and live on these hills with a gentle slope.< /p>

Not only the outer city, but also the inner city has farmland in many places.

The carriage drove slowly through the narrow road between the hills, passing houses one after another, passing cattle and carriages, passing many pedestrians.

The buildings on the hills outside the window were sparse at first, but as time went by, the carriages gradually penetrated into the city, and the number of buildings on the hills gradually increased.

Originally, there were only one or two houses on a hill. Now, there are not only residential buildings on a hill, but also warehouses, bakeries and workshops. Occasionally, you can see a huge windmill standing tall.

There is no official force to manage the outer city, so the residents here spontaneously established communities. Each community is centered around a windmill. Within the scope of a community, there will be ovens, forgings, wells and a shrine.< /p>

As we approach the inner city, several types of buildings are quietly added to the hills, such as shops or mage cabins.

——Occasionally, some mages who can’t stay in the inner city and don’t want to leave Avaliloa choose to move to the outer city and earn living expenses by selling their spells to the residents of the outer city.

"Sir, the Chengbei call center has arrived." The coachman's voice came from outside the carriage.

Lin Lang opened the door and got out of the car, waved his cell phone to the driver, "I've already paid."

The coachman took out his cell phone from his pocket, took a look at it, nodded slightly, waved his whip, and drove away.

Taking back his cell phone, Lin Lang walked towards the call center across the street.

The world of Gelton does not need to re-develop industry. Any industrial technology can be purchased directly from the earth, so that the price of mobile phones in this world is not very high. Even students like Corinna who need to work-study to earn tuition can Own a mobile phone.

It’s just that except for a few cities, including Avarilloa, smart devices that require Internet access are not very available elsewhere.

Setting up signal towers requires the approval of local lords. To this day, many lords still regard the Internet as a snake or scorpion. Whether it is the Kingdom of Simmel or other countries, building the Internet is still a long way to go. It can even be said that

Nowhere in sight.

If you want to contact other places, telephone is still the first choice.

There are five call centers in Avariloa. The north call center is closer to the outer city. This is because some students from the three major colleges come from other territories of the kingdom, and the three major colleges are far from the city, making it difficult for students to communicate. Therefore, it is built in

The location is relatively close to the outer city.

On the top of this hill called "Hunting Bow Street" stands a church of the God of Commerce. Residential houses are located on this hillside in circles, and the gaps between the houses are covered with green grass and greenery.

The tree is full, it is already the season of flowering and fruiting, and the branches are dotted with small yet unripe fruits one after another.

After avoiding several children running wildly on the street, Lin Lang opened the door of the call center, looked around the hall full of people, and walked to the front desk.

"I need a cubicle."

The front desk clerk glanced at the computer and said lazily: "The call fee for every five minutes is three silver coins. Please estimate the call time and pay a 50% deposit. Any more will be refunded."

No wonder the people sitting in the lobby don’t speak slowly. Even though they are using the phones in the lobby, the charges shouldn’t be much lower.

Lin Lang estimated the time, "Five minutes."

After taking out his mobile phone and paying the deposit, the waiter gave Lin Lang a key card and pointed in the direction, "Room 3, over there."

Taking the key card, Lin Lang walked through the hall and glanced at the people sitting in front of the phone, holding the microphone to talk to relatives and friends thousands of miles away, and saw another group of people sitting awkwardly in the waiting area.

A middle-aged and young man holding a phone address in his hand.

A seat won't be vacant for long. As soon as someone gets up, another person will sit down before the chair starts to cool down.

Although most people tried to suppress their voices, hundreds of voices gathered together, still making a dull and huge buzz hovering in the hall.

Drop!

When the key card touches the door lock lightly, the lock tongue automatically retracts, triggers the door spring, and the door panel opens inwards.

The cubicle space is very small. After closing the door, it is only about three square meters in size.

Today's telephones in the Galton world consist of a touch panel embedded in a table and a microphone. For Lin Lang, who is familiar with the history of the development of earth's science and technology, this combination is quite magical.

After dialing the address given by Freya, Lin Lang tapped his fingers on the desktop, waiting for a response from the other side of the phone.

After about half a minute, a slightly distorted deep voice came from the receiver: [Hello?]

The tapping movement stopped, and Lin Lang asked: "Is this Earl of Spice, Mr. Hill Zuss?"

[I am, who are you? From your accent, it sounds like you are from Avarilloa?]

Being able to get his phone address is probably not an ordinary person, so Earl Spice behaved very kindly.

Lin Lang closed his eyes, pulled out the memory of the Earl of Spice from the corner of his mind, pondered for a moment, and said: "The Zus family originated from the founding of the Clovis Empire. The ancestor was once a knight beside Emperor Sandro.

, about five hundred years ago, the second son of Viscount Zuss left the Clovis Empire, met the founding king of the Kingdom of Schimmel during the journey, established the Kingdom of Schimmel together, and was awarded the title of earl.

The Si family was divided into two, one was Viscount Zus of the Clovis Empire, and the other was Earl Zus of the Kingdom of Schimmel. In order to distinguish them, people called Earl Zus whose territory was suitable for growing spices the 'Spice Count'.

.

"Spice has always been the source of wealth for the Earl of Spice. However, with the development of the times, more and more synthetic spices have appeared on the market, which has impacted the Zus family's spice business, especially after the world of Gelton joined the Pan-Human Alliance.

Cheap and large quantities of synthetic spice formulas flowed into the Kingdom of Schimmel, which affected your business. Finally, fifteen years ago, Mr. Hill, your father passed away with hatred due to the decline of the family business. You took over the position of earl, and

Trying to turn the situation around.

"Thirteen years ago, the Zus family launched the first pure natural formula perfume, but it failed to regain the market. Ten years ago, you launched three more perfumes in succession, but failed to regain the market. So you were criticized by family insiders.

impeachment, but you withstood the pressure, and finally succeeded in making the name of Zus family perfume once again popular in the kingdom's upper class nine years ago. Over the past nine years, you have been innovating and regaining many markets that belong to you.<

/p>

"According to my speculation, you should have two problems that need to be solved now - first, you have exhausted the formulas that can be used, and you are unable to create new perfume styles; second, you are unable to open up new market situations and bring your family into the world.

I want to promote the perfume to places outside the Kingdom of Schimmel. I have solutions to the above two problems, so I can give you a chance to solve the problem. If you want to cooperate with me, you can contact you in Avarillo

Ya's daughter, she can find me.

"Oh, by the way, in order to prove my ability, I can tell you an improved formula - Yaoguang No. 2, which replaces the petals of the Silver Moon Flower with the sap of the rhizome close to the ground, adjusts the proportion from 3% to 9‰, and adds

Cook fresh orange peels together and use Lovilan to filter the residue to make the taste even better."

[Who are you? Why do you know the formula of Yaoguang No. 2?] On the other side of the phone, Earl Spice's breathing became a little heavier, [Did Freya tell you... No, no, she doesn't know this! You

Who is it?]

Of course, Lin Lang couldn't tell him that when he was shopping with Ke Xin and Annie, he accidentally smelled the perfume while passing by their perfume store. A voice in his head directly told him the optimized formula.<

/p>

So, he hung up the phone directly, got up and left with a feeling of relief.

We have almost got the advertisement, now we just need to wait for the contact from Earl of Spice.

Hearing the sound of the phone being hung up, Earl Spice was filled with disbelief. Then he tried to call back, but found that no one answered.

"Fuck!" Earl Spice slammed the microphone down hard, his face looked ugly, and he couldn't help but uttered a curse word.

Sitting on the chair, he took a deep breath and thought uncertainly for a moment. The Spice Count picked up the phone again and made a call to the laboratory.
