The scales of time were pointing to the end of July, and the sword-like red constellation of Irendil had turned west. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info And a serpentine constellation connected from end to end is slowly rising and moving towards the middle of the starry sky. It was the constellation of the earthly python Yormangangde, glowing a dark green glow at night.

The night is so quiet and peaceful.

Morin had not yet fallen asleep, he was lying on a small bed, his hands were pillowed behind his head, his eyes were staring at the small window in the room without sleep, and the silver moonlight shone through the window on the young man's pillow, where a small white flower lay quietly, and in the young man's perception it was exuding a rich fragrance. And next to the Star of Electric Pea, Xiao Hei was floating in the air, rarely without making any happy expressions, and a pair of small green eyes quietly didn't know what to think.

For Morin, the days on the airship seemed to pass in a flash, and suddenly it was midnight on the third day. And according to the goblin captain, the goblin captain with a bush of gray fur in his ears, tomorrow at sunrise, the pearl of the Emerald Plains, the city of waterfalls, Sororumi.

That was the destination of the airship, where he could buy some items and then transfer to the Holy Capital and then head to the Illuvita Academy.

The young man's thoughts were racing, and he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.

The last time I remember riding an airship was a long time ago, and it seemed that I was taken by my grandfather to meet a very strange person, but it was too young at that time, and Morin didn't have much of an impression. So it was almost the first time he had taken an airship, and for the past three days, from sunrise to dusk, the boy had always wandered on the deck, almost greedily looking at the surrounding scenery, the changing sea of clouds, the vast earth, and the endless starry sky.

It wasn't until late at night that he was driven back to the cabin by the patrolling goblins.

Magic airships are a mainstream long-distance transportation in Shattered Worlds, and they tend to be faster because they can ignore terrain obstacles than magic trains that require tracks to run. The only drawback may be that an airport is needed to berth for a long time, and it is expensive to build an airport.

Of course, the airship that Morin was riding this time was only a small boat, and it could only carry a hundred and ten people, including the crew. It is about 20 meters long and 7 or 8 meters wide, and the main body is similar to that of a seafaring vessel, except that the deck is semi-enclosed, and there is no sail on the upper part, instead of an airbag slightly smaller than the hull, and at the same time there are several wing-like wings on both sides to control the lifting and direction.

The airship is powered by a propeller at the tail, powered by a mana crystal card.

The teenager even had a drawing of the airship of this model in his mind. Well, if I'm not mistaken, it should be in a book called

I saw it in the book "Analysis and Manufacturing of Small and Medium-sized Magical Machines", and God knows why the Calland family has such a collection. Although Maureen couldn't understand the complex mechanical transmissions or magic circuits, it didn't prevent him from discovering the surprise - above the airbag, there was actually an unused lookout.

According to the book, the lookout is only useful in special occasions, such as determining directions in a storm, finding a route in a chaotic area, etc., and it is usually idle for a long time.

So Merlin was going to go up there tonight for a little adventure, and at this time he was lying on the bed and secretly expecting: "Just be careful to avoid the patrolling goblins, and then climb the ropes on the wing of the airship to go up, maybe you can find something, after all, that's what those storybooks say." ”

Feeling the boy's expectation, Xiao Hei on the side also turned around excitedly, and his dark red mouth grinned, as if he wanted to sing and scream, but was covered by the boy in time.

I don't know how many thousand I counted, Mo Lin, who was in a daze on the bed, suddenly turned over and got out of bed, he quickly picked up the package that had been packed, carefully pinned the Star of Ilekepeia to the neckline, and then put his ear to the door of the cabin.

It didn't take long for the sound of clapping footsteps, from far to near, and then from near to far, this was the footsteps of the patrol goblins, and at the same time came a strange tune that he hummed quietly: "I like gold coins more than flowers, I like gold coins more than I love the sea, I like gold coins......"

Goblins are never quiet creatures, as evidenced by the creaking machines they make.

The boy endured goosebumps as the sound faded away, carefully opened the cabin door, poked his head out and looked around. Finding that the dim porch was indeed empty, he walked out lightly and slowly closed the door. He didn't want to be caught sleeping in the cabin late at night, knowing that he had been haggling for a long time with the old goblin in the airship management for a separate cabin.

Walking lightly onto the deck, and then lightly touching the back of the cargo box, Morin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling his heart beating wildly, and he felt more nervous than he was in the forest of Gangdi, when he was captured by the vicious old man. I don't know if Minelma would have turned black again if she had known what he was thinking at this time.

Xiao Hei floating in the air did the same, a pair of small eyes looked back and forth, looking like a thief, following the young man, and even the red and yellow fire on the edge dimmed.

A short time later, the patrol goblin, standing on the side of the ship, stepped into the cockpit, where there was still a bright light coming through the crack in the hatch, and it was clear that the airship still needed a pilot to drive it in the middle of the night.

As soon as the cockpit door closed, Morin scurried to the side of the ship, remembered for a moment, secured the cable, and climbed to the top of the airbag with his hands and feet.

In his vision, it would be easy to climb the six or seven meters of cable to the top of the airbag, after all, he was the one who had jumped up and down in the harbor town since he was a child.

But reality is often crueler than assumptions.

The wind around the airbag was not strong because of some solidified spell models that increased buoyancy or reduced drag, but most of the six or seven meters of cable was outside the ship's side, and Morin, who had climbed halfway up, was half-hanging on the rope, and there was only a distant earth below.

As if he had just realized this, the unresponsive teenager suddenly stiffened on the rope.

He gasped for air, trying to calm his heart, his stiff neck trembling slightly, as if hesitating to look below. Xiao Hei curled his arms into fists on the side and tried desperately to cheer up, but to no avail.

"If you fall, if you miss...... At least some time before it will be smashed into a pie. Finding that such self-soothing seemed to be of little use, the teenager continued to hypnotize himself: "It's really close to the ground now, you see the darkness around you, it doesn't matter if you look down, don't be afraid, it's really close to the ground, it's very close......"

It was as if he had gone back to his youth, when he was five years old and early one morning when he stood on the eaves of a two-story house in the middle of the town, and was forced by his grandfather to jump to the roof opposite. The two eaves were not far apart, less than two meters apart, which was nothing to Morin, who had been training for a while, but fear turned the short distance into an impassable moat.

The result of that time, the boy remembered, his legs were weak when he jumped, and as a result, he fell to the ground, was picked up by his grandfather, and was punished for three days without eating meat.

Thinking of such a severe punishment, Morin couldn't help but shudder.

I can move!

He clenched his fist hard, felt the change in the strength of his palm, and was really able to move!

Having regained his body from fear in an instant, Merlin didn't think much about it, and quickly climbed to the top of the airbag, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

He silently summed it up in his heart: "Sure enough, there is nothing more terrible than not being able to eat meat." ”

……

……

The airship marched through the night, and the boy was fascinated by the lookout.

Between the vast heaven and the earth, he sat quietly on the top of the airship, above the sky, the stars shimmered with all kinds of brilliance, and the shapes outlined by those constellations were so vivid that they seemed to be real things. It is said that each constellation corresponds to a deity who silently watches the earthly world from the heavens.

Morin recalled a travelogue that on such a clear night, from the top of the mountains in the southern part of the Emerald Plains, he could see in the distance the light of the lighthouse of Antar, an island in the sea, on which burned the fire of order in the easternmost part of the continent of Todder.

He looked at the shadows of the mountains in the north, where a bright moon hung in the mountains, and the light of the moon god spread over the snowy peaks, emitting a silver glow, like a holy and immaculate fairyland.

Passing through those mountains, you will find the Emerald Plains.

For some reason, Mo Lin's young heart gradually became more melancholy.

He turned his head to look at the area he had come from, and in the darkness there were only faint lights on the ground, and the Duchy of Lothar was far away from each other. It was the first time he had been so far away from home, and after arriving at Zororumi, he had to transfer to another airship, spending more than ten days traveling to a much farther academy.

Such a distance was beyond the limits of the boy's imagination, and it would be ten, twenty, or hundred, a thousand times farther than the farthest place he had ever been. What's more, he's still single.

In the short ten days since he left home, he has already experienced so many things: robbers on the road, wreckage torn apart by gargoyles, Minelma's heavy armor, Honorom's longbow, the strange words of the vicious old man, the precious white flower Ilekepeia Star, and the inexplicable sadness in front of the palace sculptures......

And after the tide of excitement faded, I found that the shells I missed had already unconsciously covered the beach, perhaps, I was really a little homesick.

Morin opened the package, took out the sweet jerky that his mother had prepared for him, and tasted it slowly.

Xiao Hei landed on the young man's shoulder, quietly staring into the distance, and his small green eyes also revealed a faint confusion.

In the silence of the night, the only sound comes from the rhythmic rotation of the propellers. The young man's not yet strong body sat on the top of the airship, quietly smelling a small white flower, his blue eyes melted into the deep night, and he looked at the moonlight in the distance in a daze, not knowing what he was missing.

And the airship is like a docile whale, slowly swimming towards the unknown ocean.

……

……

The morning sun gently caressed his face, and Maureen woke up from a nap.

"Ahhh!!h

I didn't know when the airship had passed through the mountains and came to the sky above the Emerald Plains. The endless plain stretches uncontrollably to the horizon at the end of the horizon, dyed with a faint golden shade in the morning light, and a meandering river thousands of meters wide runs through the plain from west to east, like a glittering ribbon of emerald green.

In the lower reaches of the river, the earth seems to break from south to north and falls straight down a hundred meters, and the endless river water rushes down, forming an incomparably magnificent waterfall, and the rapid water flow with the wind blows the rising pale white mist far away, forming a permanent rainbow at the end of the plain.

Even more magnificently, at the top of the waterfall, a city rises from the ground and straddles a river thousands of meters long. Countless buildings line the waterfall, stretching from the river above to the valley below the fault zone. There are also several huge towers, built along the cliffs from the 100-meter-deep river valley to the 100-meter-high skyline on the plains, forming a huge airport, and countless airships of different sizes pass through it, which is very lively.

This is the pearl of the Emerald Plain, the most prosperous city southeast of Todel.

Known as the port of freedom and trade, the city of waterfalls is Sororumi.
