"Dear Lord, I am the escort wizard Barney Sr. for this flight," the old man saluted with one hand on his chest, the expression on his face extremely respectful. "If these black-headed vultures dare to come closer, they will be struck. ”

There were only three small tables on the foredeck, but the old Barney who came out of the dining room came directly to Raymond, and Raymond absolutely didn't believe it if it was because of Stacy.

Raymond, who didn't stand up, casually pointed to the chair next to him. "Please sit down, why are these black-headed vultures coming over to the airboat?"

"It's in their nature to act like this," Barney, who dragged the chair next to him and sat down, did not get too close to Raymond, but first put his hands flat on his knees, and then explained in detail. "There are a lot of things like this on the airboat's journey to the Central Regional Grand League. ”

Out of the corner of his eye, he watched the black-headed vultures, and after the chip brought Raymond closer, he could clearly see the menacing eyes of the creatures and their sharp claws.

But soon the faint vibration from under his feet made Raymond think of a possibility, so he asked directly. "Is there a defense system on the airship?"

"Yes, my lord, this airship may not have much space, but its defenses are far superior to those of the large airboats," Barney Sr. said, as if to reassure Raymond, pointing to the faint ripples of force field on the side of the ship. "The force field defense on this airship can resist the full force attack of ordinary flying demonic beasts, and in terms of counterattack, it has the attack ability equivalent to ten first-level liquefied wizards!"

His pupils shrank, and a somewhat shocked Raymond turned his gaze to the black-headed vultures, only to see that the vulture had begun to accelerate, and it seemed that he had taken the empty boat as prey.

But with the faint energy fluctuations that appeared around him, the tremor on the deck suddenly stopped for a moment, but soon burst out from the bottom of the airship with a loud bang.

Six pale red pillars of energy. Immediately after the stimulus, a group of black-headed vultures appeared, and the chaotic energy that burst out caused great damage in the black-headed vulture group, causing six circular hollows to appear in the vulture group, and these black-headed vultures were directly bombarded and turned into nothingness.

The group of black-headed vultures, who were about to attack, immediately let out a wail and fled, and in the chaos, several of them even collided with each other and fell straight down.

"My lord, such an attack is just a dispersal," said Barney Wizard, who sat in his chair with his hands on his knees, looking proud. "If there were more powerful birds. The spell cannons on the airships will make them unforgettable. ”

The tremor under his feet has completely disappeared, and Raymond, who has flashed red dots in his pupils, is letting the chip start to analyze the energy fluctuations just now, and with the refresh of a large amount of data in his sight, Raymond's face has changed a little.

A reddish pillar of energy similar to a Concentrated Fire attack. The power contained in it is equivalent to Raymond's full attack, six energy attacks up to 80 calories. Raymond believed he was in the position of the black-headed vulture. It's definitely going to be bombed.

"It seems that it is safer to take the airboat," he was a little uneasy, and seeing that Barney had no intention of getting up, Raymond had to casually perfunctory. "It seems that this trip should be risk-free. ”

"My lord, although the defense of the airship is very strong, it is not foolproof. "Barney, who clearly misunderstood what Raymond meant. But he smiled bitterly. "It can only be said that it is much safer than crossing the land to the central region, and now the voyage has only begun, and the risk will appear in a little more than a month. ”

Barney, who was a bit talkative, began to introduce the voyage. It turns out that it takes nearly three months to reach the Grand Alliance in the central region by ordinary large airboat, but this special medium-sized airboat only takes more than two months.

But because the last part of the journey had to pass through the Misty Mountains, the real risk wasn't yet there.

With a humble smile on his face, Barney, the escort wizard, said what he meant in the end. "You're the only second-level wizard on this airship, so if the airship is in danger during its voyage to the Misty Mountains, I hope you can help. ”

"Oh, could it be that part of the voyage in the Misty Mountains is very dangerous?" Raymond, who was startled, didn't expect this old man to be able to sense his disguised aura so quickly, but he also reacted immediately. "Won't the wizards who escort them be able to withstand this risk?"

"Although there is a first-level crystallization wizard on the airship, I don't dare to say that I can resist the risks of the Misty Mountains after adding an old man like me," Barney, with a hint of fear on his face, did not avoid the question. "But if you could, the journey would be much less dangerous. ”

"Can't the flight altitude be increased any further?" Raymond, who had no concept of the Misty Mountains, thought of a question. "Or is the risk of the Misty Mountains unavoidable?"

"When entering the Misty Mountains, the airship will continue to increase in altitude, but this altitude is also limited, and if it is too high, it will lead to greater risks," Seeing that Raymond had no experience in riding an airship, Barney no longer expressed it cryptically. "It's only been a few hundred years since the establishment of this latest route, so many of them are still in a state of exploration, so the risk of encountering them is still very high. ”

"Can't you resist with the defenses on the airship?" Raymond hesitated, and began to probe. "In addition, the passengers on the airship also need to participate in the defense when danger comes, right?"

Barney, who raised his hands on his knees and hung them in the air, allowing some distance between them, smiled wryly. "The airship can only fly at a certain altitude, and if it falls into the Misty Mountains, even a dawn-level wizard can't say that it can be completely resisted. ”

"Then how many wizards on the airship can help resist the risk?" Raymond, whose face became solemn, immediately began to ask. "Is it so risky to take an empty boat?"

"In addition to you being a second-level wizard, there are three first-level wizards among the passengers," without directly answering the question about the risk, Barney instead told Raymond what he needed to know the most, "This is the case with all the combat power on this airship, as long as the airship can maintain a smooth flight at this altitude, the possibility of encountering risk is not great." ”

Thinking about the information Barney had provided, Raymond couldn't help but fall into deep thought...... (To be continued.) )
