In front of the Vima Empire, the fastest general means of transportation is the float ship, but it is said that the Arcane Nation is experimenting with an orbital shuttle, and I heard that the speed is many times that of the float ship, but it may take a considerable amount of time to introduce it to the Vima Empire.

As a magical city, Valari certainly has a floatboat station, and it's a fairly well-built station.

There is still a distance from Ceylon College to the Valari Float Boat Station, but fortunately, the railroad has been repaired in the city, and the cost of the Magic Motor is much lower than that expensive electric car.

Although the name is called the magic car, it is not completely driven by magic, even if the energy core of the magic car is still provided by burning a very resistant wood, as for how the burning heat is converted into the power of the magic car, it does not rely on steam or atomization technology, but a special heat transformation magic array and docking magic motive, which can be operated by a slightly trained magician or even just a magic worker.

The tracks from Ceylon College to the Floatboat Station are said to have been newly built, and with reference to the highest technical standards available, it can still erect an Imperial Silver Coin smoothly even at the highest speeds.

When the magic bullet car turned out of a plantation, Al, who was sitting by the window, looked up just in time to see a float boat slowly rising into the air.

"What a behemoth!"

Someone next to him let out a sigh of admiration.

Al turned his head and looked over there, an old man with gray hair.

"Little brother, where are you going?"

Noticing Al's gaze at him, the old man turned his face to Al and asked with a smile.

"I'm going home. ”

Al didn't have much vigilance against such a kind-looking old man, not only because of the other party's appearance, but also because Al's innate insight into malice didn't feel anything unusual.

"Really, where is your home?"

"A small village in the province of Enredo, old man, have you ever heard of a logging village?"

The old man frowned and thought about it, because of this action, many fine wrinkles squeezed out of his old face: "I can't remember, but I am also from Enredo Province." ”

The old man had an apologetic smile on his face.

"It's okay, it's just a little-known village, and most people don't know about it. ”

Al said with relief.

The Magic Boat arrived at the Floating Boat Station, and when Al followed the old man out of the Magic Boat, another huge Floating Boat rose into the sky, and the propeller at the tail of the Floating Boat rotated to drive the air flow to create forward thrust, and at the same time made a loud noise.

In the sun, the shadow cast by the float was like a huge black beast crawling on the ground, flying past buildings, roads, and people's bodies and raised faces.

"Yikes!"

One of the women walking in front of Al and the old man screamed, desperately clutching the hem of her skirt that was lifted by the air currents above the floatboat.

"This float ship flew too low, did they forget about the Greentown float boat accident so quickly the year before last?"

The old man looked up at the float flying low over his head and muttered that there was a dark cloud on his face.

Greentown float boat accident?

Al heard the old man's whisper, and he had actually heard about the float boat accident that killed nearly 100 people, and he had actually heard it from the discussions of his classmates in the Light Seeking Class before.

It was a very tragic catastrophe, the large float ship Greentown loaded with nearly 100 passengers suddenly lost contact with the local float boat navigation station when it passed through the Douro Mountains, and after three days, the Imperial Air Cavalry Guards found the wreckage of the Greentown float in the depths of the Douro Mountains, and none of the passengers on the plane survived, and even almost all the passengers on the plane did not even leave a single intact corpse.

Why did the Greentown float completely lose contact with the navigation station in an instant?

And the safety of the float boat is actually very high in terms of air vehicles, even if the engine fails, the float boat will only lose power at most, unless the hull of the float boat with the float force completely fails, but generally this situation will not occur at all, because the hull of the float boat will be designed with multiple isolated cabins, even if there is one or even several compartments filled with helium and nitrogen, the leakage will not cause such a strict consequence.

So far, the Imperial Investigative Agency has not given a convincing public finding into the tragedy.

Fortunately, time is the best forgetting potion in this world, and as time passes, fewer and fewer people will remember this tragedy.

The old man also felt a little unhappy at the mention of the heart-pounding float boat tragedy, and he sighed and said nothing, and then walked into the float boat station.

The floatboat station has many ticket windows, and Al and the old man are naturally separated.

But-

"What a coincidence!"

A voice came from behind Al.

Al had already bought a ticket by this time, and was queuing up on the boarding tunnel of the float when he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.

Looking back, it was the old man from before.

Al was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face, of course, this smile was hidden under the hood, and the old man opposite couldn't actually see it.

"It's a coincidence, but grandpa, the time we bought the tickets was actually about the same, so maybe it wasn't that coincidental. ”

"Really? Show me your ticket, then. ”

Al handed the ticket to the old man.

Block F, No. 1.

When the old man saw it, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

"Show you my ticket. ”

The old man showed the ticket in his hand to Al.

No. 2, Block F.

Al was stunned, doesn't this mean that he and this old man are sitting together again?

The old man threw up his head and laughed.

Generally speaking, this kind of passenger float is designed to be narrow, after all, it can carry more passengers, but the float that Al is riding in should be considered a luxury version, the seats are not so narrow, and there is even a small table fixed to the wall without supporting legs between the two seats.

Al and the old man sat in the same row.

Across from Al and the old man sat a man and a woman.

"Are you also going to Enredo Province?"

Not long after he sat down, the old man sitting next to Al asked the man and woman opposite, it seemed that he was the kind of person who liked to talk to people.

"No, we just happened to sit together, do we look alike?"

The sturdy young man touched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly, but the girl by the window did not smile, she held her chin with her hand and looked out of the window in silence.

The expression on the girl's face was cold, but fortunately she had the beauty to withstand her cold attitude.

Al glanced at the silent girl with some curiosity.

Her skin is very white.

This is the impression that the young girl left on Al. (To be continued.) )
