François and Claudia climbed onto the airship's gondola, drenched and embarrassed.

The two of them couldn't stop thanking everyone and reminding them to take off quickly to avoid moray eels that might be lurking underwater.

Claudia had dried up the sea with Natasha's help, and François had cleaned himself up, he had seen the airship in a naval battle, and he thought it was a Stuart, but he still wanted to make sure.

"Miss Marianne, why are you here? You saw the naval battle just now, right?"

Marianne replied with a smile, "We heard that there are Stuart warships in this area, and we wanted to warn you, but we were still a step too late. ”

Lily said, "But it's a stroke of luck that we met you at sea, Claudia, what happened to your ship? ”

Claudia explained: "Our ship sank in the storm, thanks to Fran...... Mr. Fran, I didn't hold out until the storm was over. ”

Alyssa rubbed Claudia's short ear-length hair, which was slightly longer than herself, "So what are you going to do next? Do you want to go to the city of Ryo? ”

"But I need to go back to the imperial capital to restore my life...... Or go back to York City......" Claudia said.

Jacques had no choice but to tell her what had happened between him and Hoffa in the morning, "So, when I return to Yorktown, I fear that Hoffa will be bad for you, and that the Stuarts will find a way to kill you if they know you are alive." ”

François, who had been silent for a long time, said: "Miss Claudia and I must return to the imperial capital, Monsieur Jacques, are we going to fly directly to Ryo now? ”

Jacques said embarrassedly: "The airship is badly damaged, and it's hard to say whether we can return to land safely." ”

He picked up the broken map, pointed to the hole and said, "There are still eighty or ninety miles to reach the land, and we should have been able to hold on to the land, but with the two of you, the weight has increased again, and I don't know if the energy of the source stone device can be maintained."

If we can get to land, we won't be returning to Yorktown, and we will definitely offend Mayor Hoffa by coming out to report to you this time. We'll find a way to go south, to the city of Ryo. You can find a boat back to the imperial capital on the way, but be careful to hide your identity. ”

François took Jacques' hand and said, "Thank you, Monsieur Jacques." ”

At dusk, the airship finally made it to the shore and landed on the beach with the last bit of power.

Everyone grabbed their belongings and let Lily Raiden set the airship on fire and headed for the nearest town.

When they arrived in town in the middle of the night, the group found a hotel, paid to stay, and finally got a rest.

François, who goes by the pseudonym Fran, also borrowed 500 silver coins from Marianne to buy himself and Claudia some clothes and equipment the next day.

Lying on the bed, François played with the black dagger by the moonlight from the window, and although he had imagined that this magical object must contain great power, he never expected that the final storm would far exceed his expectations, and even his own ship would be crushed by the storm.

In his notebooks, Mr. Kane recorded the story of the ancient ruins, and the description of the sacrifice to the gods with an obsidian dagger. No wonder Kane tried his best to prevent the dagger from being snatched by the Stuarts, it was so powerful that François couldn't help but wonder if it could destroy the centuries-old accumulation of the Stuarts at the cost of a grandmaster's life.

What happened to me today must be repaid by you a hundredfold!

......

On the second day, everyone agreed to rest for half a day and make their own arrangements.

Jacques sent a letter to his father Paul at the post office, and bought horses and food for the store to deliver to the inn, but on the corner of the street he saw a group of girls coming out of the clothing store.

When one of the blondes carrying two bags saw him, she walked over quickly and handed him the bag, "Take it, it cost twelve silver coins, there are really no beautiful clothes in the town, and the money you gave has not been spent." ”

This is Lily, who is responsible for buying costumes, and in order to reduce the weight of the airship, both of them have thrown away their bags and have to buy them again.

The other girls were naturally Marianne and the others, but it was a pity that Jacques didn't see Claudia, so he asked, "Didn't Claudia go shopping with you?

Lily put her arm around him and said, "She was called away by Mr. Fran, but she still didn't agree to go with us to Ryo, and it seems that they are still in a hurry to go back." ”

"If you don't go, don't go, people are big people now, and we ordinary people can't play together. ”

"Then you have to take the risk of informing her, that we can't stay in Yorktown, that you treat her as a friend, and that they think you have something else to ask for. Although Lily complained a little, she still admired Jacques's innocence, so she supported him to report the news without hesitation.

"I just can't sit back and watch my friends ......"

"Come, Jacques, help me carry my clothes!" said Marianne, who came running to disturb the two of them.

Jacques had no choice but to take the bag in her hand, "How much did you spend, twice as much as our Lily's!"

"What's wrong with spending your money, heartache?" Marianne slammed into Jacques' shoulder.

Marianne had boarded the airship in a hurry, bringing nothing with her, and now she had to rely on Jacques's wallet for support.

"You sent my letter too?" said Marianne, tossing for a moment, but getting down to business.

Jacques replied: "Well, that's done, the post office says it will be delivered to York the day after tomorrow, and I hope that when we arrive in Zipewa, Graves will be able to arrange everything." ”

"Don't worry, my brother can take care of everything, he's very powerful......"

"Beauty, beauty, don't go!" a man in a silk shirt with puffy sleeves, a round bow neck, tight pants, and over-the-knee white socks rushed out of the clothing store, followed by two attendants, and went straight to Lily and the others.

Marianne's face changed suddenly, and she turned her head and said, "I'm so annoyed! I told you that we don't want to talk to you!"

The man who was wearing the latest fashionable costume in the imperial capital was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "A few young ladies, it is fate to meet each other, and it is rare that our clothing taste is also elegant, so I want to get to know you......"

Marianne's face turned red with anger, "The same taste? Where did you get your confidence? You are nondescript, your clothes are barely outdated from previous years, what kind of thing are these leggings? These are worn under armor!"

The attendant was not happy to hear Marianne's words, "What do you mean, everyone in Orange Town knows that Young Master Swinton is the most fashionable!"

The other person added: "The young master of the town mayor has been to the imperial capital!"
