Chapter 219: It's Common Sense
A cold wind ruffled Rokala's bangs, and she looked up at the Temple of the Stars.
I don't know how long the history of the Temple of the Stars is, anyway, it is the knowledge that the books in the temple can't be annotated, and Rokara only knows that since she was born, the Temple of the Stars has been like this, and it should be like this in the future.
It took her a little breathless.
- Although most of the reason is due to the thinning of oxygen at high altitudes.
Of course, as a knight chief, Rokala is naturally used to it, but she has just returned from the lower airspace, and after a fierce fight, her physical strength is insufficient and she is short of breath, so she is like this.
Rokara didn't complain, but she regretted that she usually neglected to exercise, and if she lost, she lost, and there was no other excuse to say.
The other Meteor Knights around him were similar, they had been comfortable for too long, and they were fine against the rebels of the Sky Realm, but when they encountered unexpected enemies, such as people on the ground, they were completely exposed.
"Gus, how's the casualty?"
Gus was Rocara's lieutenant and the only one surviving on the expedition, a sturdy man with a great sword and the strongest of the Meteor Knights.
"Five people died, eleven were seriously injured and six were slightly injured. Gus himself was not in great condition, the enemy left a sword wound in his chest, but fortunately the armor resisted most of the damage, otherwise he would have had a large hole in his chest.
Just like the knights who stayed in the lower airspace.
"Let the priests heal their wounded comrades, and I'll go and tell the high priest. ”
Victory is everyone's honor, and defeat is your own responsibility.
Along the way, the nuns in the temple were terrified by the blood stains on Rokara's body, and Rokara didn't pay attention to their frightened gazes, only blaming herself for the dirt on her body for soiling the temple floor.
When Rokara arrived at the High Priest's prayer room, the High Priest's attendants were already waiting for her.
"Your Excellency, please come in. ”
Do you already know I'm coming......
Rokara nodded to the attendant and entered the prayer room with her head held high.
The prayer room was the same as usual, except that the high priest did not prostrate himself on the ground today, but stood very easily, looking at Rokara with a soft gaze.
"You're still confused, kid. ”
Rokala was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head, "I don't deny it." ”
"Those who serve the stars don't need to be confused, they just need to look up at the stars. The Grand Priest whispered, holding out his right hand, "Child, stretch out your hand." ”
"Yes?" Rokala didn't understand the archpriest's intentions, but she didn't hesitate.
And when the fingers of both hands touched each other, Rokara only had time to see a flash of light, and all the sight in front of her disappeared.
By the time she came to her senses, Rokala was standing in the void.
Strange as it may say, there is nothing under Rocara's feet, she is like standing on a floor that is almost none, and everything around her is only brilliant light.
She looked back with an incredulous expression.
"Feel the light, cast out the darkness. The high priest in the prayer room whispered, "Neither darkness nor dirt is allowed...... Therefore, strength is needed. ”
It wasn't until the evening that Mooncherry and Angelie returned to the dock - Angelie was carried back by Mooncherry because she had exhausted her physical strength.
The damage caused by the debris was very large, half of the towns of Breeze Harbor were affected, and the security team belonging to Breeze Harbor could not estimate the entire port for a while, and basically most of the disaster relief work was done by the local residents of Breeze Harbor and the air riders.
Tsukizakura and Angelie are helping while walking to the dock.
Tsukizakura's brute force played a huge role at this time, no matter how big the collapsed rubble was, Tsukizakura could easily move away and rescue the civilians buried inside. There were several residents of Breeze Harbor who were crying bitterly two seconds ago and thought that their relatives were not saved, but the expressions of the next moment were only shocked.
Of course, it is not enough to just rescue people, most of the civilians who were buried were seriously injured and did not care about the danger of their lives, and those who still had a breath left, it was Angeline's turn to act.
Although Angelie's swordsmanship is not very good, and her strength is only level 4, she will use a good healing technique, a ball of light down, the wounded will not be alive immediately, but at least save their lives - from this point of view, Angelie said "more effective than you", which is really true.
But in the end, Yue Ying is nothing, after all, it is just a bunch of strength, Angelie is very miserable, not only is the magic power exhausted, but the physical strength is also at the limit.
With her self-esteem, if she could walk, she would never let Tsukizakura carry her back.
"Uh-huh...... How to make ...... I'm ...... "Because of the lack ......of physical strength, Angeline couldn't speak clearly, but that didn't stop her self-esteem pride from working.
"You've said it eight hundred times along the way. ”
Of course, it's not as many as eight hundred times, but it's a fact that Yueying hears calluses in her ears, and even if Yueying is patient and good-tempered, she will be annoyed by it.
Not surprisingly, the dockyard was also affected, and the chaos was no different than that of the town, if not worse.
After all, there is a huge airboat moored here, and the falling pieces tear off the rope used to hold the airboat in place, and the airboats that have lost their means of fixation immediately collide together, if it weren't for the fact that the magic engine of the airboat has been turned on all the time, this kind of collision can directly destroy the dock, and maybe even involve everything around.
The dockyard staff were driving small flotations to carry the immobile airboat, and it didn't look like they needed help.
So Tsukizakura went straight to Grantsefa.
Luckily, he saw that Grantefa was just right there, undamaged.
Then, Tsukizakura saw the wrench that was entering the entrance to touch the fish.
"Captain!" The wrench also saw Yueying, he immediately slipped in front of Yueying, looked up and down, and said, "Captain, where did you get the beautiful girl?"
"Didn't Sister Sheila tell you? This is our client. Tsukizakura didn't understand why the wrench was so focused, but it was best to send Angelie to her room for now, who was already pinching Tsukizakur's neck hard - it didn't hurt, it was still a little itchy.
Wrench was obviously interested in Angelie, or rather he was interested in any beautiful girl, but he knew how to measure things, especially after Angelie glared at him, and Wrench continued his fishing business with great interest.
After sending Angelie back to the bed in her room and covering her with the quilt, Tsukizakura went straight to Sheila.
Sheila is in the control room as always, she is packing up her things here, if it is usual, Sheila is basically reading a book here, or playing with that three-dimensional map, as for the reason, it is because the control room is the best place to see in the airboat, which makes Sheila not feel too bored.
"Tsukizakura, are you back, are you alright?" said Sheila, tucking the books that had fallen on the floor back into the shelves.
"No, it's serious in town. ”
"It's normal...... After all, it was such a disaster. Sheila sighed, there was such a thing as the fall of the floating island, not to mention that she was an earthling, even if she was a native of the empty realm, it was basically the first time she had encountered it.
If you really meet it, you can only resign yourself to fate.
Seeing that Sheila didn't react, Yueying couldn't help but ask, "Sister Sheila, why can these islands float in the air?"
Normally, in addition to dragons, the only people who can fly freely in the sky are birds and specially trained cultivators, and it is true that black technologies such as air cities are recorded in ancient books, but in modern times, no crazy person with a lot of money would do this.
With Tsukizakura's knowledge reserves, I can't think of why there are so many islands in the Sky Realm that don't fall.
But to Tsukizaka's surprise, Sheila didn't explain, "Hmm? Floating islands can float, is there anything strange?"
“…… Isn't it strange?"
Tsukizakura didn't say this because Sheila's expression was really ...... so that he could not say this.
It was an expression of confusion, "Why does this person in front of him have no common sense".
Is it common sense that floating islands can float naturally in the air? Is there no other reason? Or is it because I haven't read enough books to ask this kind of question that Sister Sheila doesn't think is necessary?
"By the way, did you get what you wanted?"
"Ah, I bought it. Tsukizakura rummaged through her pockets, took out two button-like things, and handed them to Sheila, "I don't have enough money, so I can only buy two." ”
"It's okay, two is enough, there are not too many people to save people. Heilamo snapped the two "buttons" and said with a smile: "After confirming that the airboat ride is okay, we will set off." ”
"Where is the destination?"
"You forgot?" Sheila raised her hand, pointing high up in the sky to the north, "The lair of the serpent, Jaruela Island!"
