Chapter 385: A 'Net'
White clouds drifted in the sky, and the water vapor bypassed the outer barrier of the airship, and the impermeable barrier kept the wind high in the sky out, and people did not feel that they were above the clouds except for the pure air.
This airship from the Kurkut Empire carefully avoided the territory of the 'Cloud Giants', those powerful giants live in the clouds and do not like to be disturbed by others, if the visitors have passed various tests before visiting their territory, then they are naturally very welcome, but after experiencing the era of the Arcane Empire, those giants hate all flying artifacts, whether it is a floatship or a floating city, even if it is an airship, if it invades their territory, they will shoot down these artifacts.
The small elemental pool inside the airship shimmered, and the energy that could support a mage tower was installed on this small but not narrow airship.
The energy consumption of airships is not too large now, and if it is an 'old' airship, once it enters the battle, it will inevitably be overloaded with energy, unable to continue fighting, and can be easily shot down.
Unlike the 'Flying Fortresses' that once soared through the skies and could fight dragons, these airships were too fragile.
Not far from the airship, blue scales loomed in the clouds, and although the crew of the airship was no longer as frightened as they had been at the beginning, they were terrified every time they saw it, but the presence of the blue dragon still could not reassure the crew.
Although, it was their chief court mage 'Ruerno Luchez' who had come to escort them.
The blue dragon could be regarded as their protector, but because of his presence, many of the crew members did not sleep very well, which slightly affected the speed of the airship.
However, the crew did not complain about this, because on the way here, they had not encountered a single attack by the monster, and if it were not for the monster's fear of the blue dragon, I am afraid that their airship would have been attacked more than once.
Before that, they never knew that their country was inhabited by dragons, and they had been living in their capital 'Norman'!
If it weren't for the fact that they were going to send out the Sorrowful Wind Leader this time, they might not know that there was an evil color dragon living by their side until they died.
Airships are difficult to dock, so they have long put all their supplies on airships.
Unlike the old airships, which have 'mature' technology, the new airships have completed most of the hull modifications, and although they have been experimented with for a long time, they themselves cannot guarantee that there will be any problems with the airships.
Now the magic technology of the world of Assasatom has been derailed from the magic technology of the former Arcane Empire for too long, and even if they get the blueprints of the former airship, they can't copy the airship, because there are many materials they can't make, and the most important power system and energy system are not located.
So the airships built by the Kurkut Empire are still 'airships', not 'floats'.
Most of the crew members on board are mages, and they are also craftsmen who build airships.
They went to the Grim Wind Territory for two purposes, one was to go to the Grim Wind Territory to learn about the manufacturing technology of the 'Magic Energy Furnace', and the other was to test the use of this airship.
On the way, the airship broke down several times, delaying them a lot, so that half of the spring had passed, and they were just about to arrive at the Grim Wind Territory - you know, at the beginning of spring, after getting the news that Wende City had a 'magic energy furnace', the empire had already sent them out, and they were riding an airship, which was much faster than a carriage, and basically did not need to stop, if it wasn't for the airship failure and delayed time, they would have arrived at the Grim Wind Territory a long time ago.
They had heard that in other worlds, some blue dragons lived all their lives in the sky and never landed, they were born on the backs of their parents, and when they learned to fly, they would be like their parents, and they would never land in their lifetime.
Although this is not the case with the blue dragons of the world of Assatom, it can be seen from this that the blue dragons are very capable of flying, they can eat and sleep at high altitudes, and even when they are sleeping, they can still keep flying.
Although they had heard of similar legends, the mages on the airship had not seen them with their own eyes, and thought that these legends were somewhat ridiculous and unrealistic!
But now they have seen with their own eyes that the blue dragon's flying ability is really so powerful, that the blue dragon can maintain its flight state even when it is sleeping, which is very unrealistic, because once many creatures enter the sleep state, the body will involuntarily relax, or in other words, only when the body and spirit are relaxed can they fall asleep.
However, even though the blue dragon had fallen asleep, it was able to continue flying, not just gliding, much to the mage's surprise.
If you can transform this ability of the blue dragon into a spell, and then study this spell thoroughly, convert the spell model into a magic circle, and use it on the airship, how powerful that airship will be!
What a pity, what a pity!
Thinking of this, the mages let out a pity lament.
“...... What's that?"
Suddenly, someone let out a panicked cry.
The people on deck turned their heads and saw the man poking his upper body out of the hull and let out another scream: "What's that?!"
He retracted himself, then looked back at his colleague, swallowed, and pointed his finger overboard, "Hey, I think you guys should take a look......"
"Below, there......"
Because the man had a shocked face, several of his colleagues couldn't help but take a look at it as well.
Some people didn't react, just looked at the ground from a high altitude and felt a little dizzy.
They shook their heads, "Nothing......"
"What's that?!"
A few exclamations rang out at an inopportune time, and the rest looked at those who had given out their exclamations.
"I can't believe it......" someone covered his somewhat dizzy head and kept repeating it.
And some people sighed: "It's amazing, it turns out that the sad wind collar is like this...... No wonder Your Majesty and Lord Luches sent us out. ”
The others saw the strange reaction of these people, and couldn't help but be curious, and also walked to the deck, and peeked out—
In a large expanse of light green and dark green, there is a wide, straight gray road, and when this wide gray road reaches a certain point, it divides into two roads, equally wide.
This gray, 'dirty' gray was so conspicuous in the middle of a large green field that they saw a town on one side of the 'gray', and then a little later they saw another town on the other end, and then they understood that it was a road!
But it's not just 'one' path.
As far as the eye could see, these gray colors that seemed to represent 'man-made' spread across the wilderness, weaving a 'net' of gray roads one after another, and when the mages used [Eagle Eye] to look at those roads, they also saw carriages and pedestrians walking on these roads.
"Truth is ......"
"The mystery is above......
"The King of Wisdom ...... above"
"The Lord of Radiance is ......"
The crew of the airship prayed to their faith, because it was hard to believe that what they were seeing was 'real'.
Such a smooth and wide road only existed in the vicinity of 'Norman' in the Empire, and it was impossible for other cities and towns to have such a road.
But what do they see now?
This is a 'web', like a spider's web, each road connects a town from end to end, and this web connects the entire Sadwind Territory......
How shocking?
