43. Mordred yawned boredly

Air freight in this world is actually a very delicate industry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the one hand, since the 'Battle of Zhongzhou' nearly four hundred years ago, most of the powerful D-type monsters have fallen into a deep sleep, but even so, people are not sure that they and others will wake up if they go out rashly.

After all, Fu Xi, the 'Dragon God' who once guarded the strongest force of mankind, has lost his trace.

However, even so, it is impossible for people scattered all over the planet to completely cut off contact with each other.

Commercial transportation is good to say, although passenger flights exist, it is very troublesome to take them.

Quite simply, the threat of the D species, even if the extremely dangerous 'native species' - the first batch of D species that chased from the universe to the Blue Star - the rest of the D species also wandered outside the barrier, relying on instinct to find human settlements, and when there was a gap in the barrier, they would swarm there.

Because of this, with the exception of the wealthy mega-corporation 'Senluo Company', no businessman is willing to take on the high-risk and extremely unbalanced job of passenger transportation.

Especially four years ago, after the 'Xianghe incident', transcontinental passenger flights were almost extinct, and businessmen were unwilling to contract, the result was that the hot potato of passenger transportation, which had to be caught, was reluctantly arranged by the governments of various places.

Let's take Alice Uesugi's current trip as an example.

If you want to get a passenger plane from the mainland of Zhongzhou to the mainland of the Far East, you have to book your ticket a month in advance and start waiting.

If the number of passengers reaches 70% of the plane, then the government of the two cities will start to arrange for idle floating warships to escort the plane, and then the passenger plane will take off.

If the number of people is not enough, you can only wait slowly at the end of each month, take the minimum passenger plane every month, cross the Bohai Sea between the Zhongzhou mainland and the extreme east continent, and arrive at Tianqi International Airport.

According to the original plan, since the number of people on the flight was less than 50%, Alice should not be able to take the minimum passenger flight until August 31, the end of the month, and arrive in the extreme east on September 1, escorted by floating warships.

But something lucky happened.

“...... Ah, the 'intelligence shield voyage' has been lifted, and you can see it, Xiao Mo. ”

With music playing inside the airliner, Alice woke up from her sleep, holding the gray-black dragon doll in her arms, and her eyes wide open to look out of the plane's window.

A massive, red, white, and blue metal monster smashed through the black clouds, revealing its rugged form in front of Alice's eyes.

"The general flagship of the 'United Royal Navy' in London, although it is already a backward style of the old era, but in this way, it is really very handsome, right? Xiao Mo. ”

"Whew!"

The young dragon doll - the gray-black young dragon that Alice called 'Little Mo', who seems to be a doll, doesn't really understand the owner's words, and makes a concurring cry from his mouth, revealing the sharp teeth that only real dragons should have.

The floating battleship that appeared outside the window was the reason why such a passenger plane was able to depart early.

It belongs to the Western Regions Continent, the general flagship of the 'United Royal Navy' in the enchantment city of London-HMS Hood.

It's more symbolic than strength and performance.

It was heard that the Hood was about to go to the Far East Continent, where it would conduct joint exercises with the Saratoga, Lexington, and Mutsu from the Far East, as well as Bismarck and Zeppelin from the Sen Roe Company.

Anyway, she has to go to the Far East, so she should just drop by and escort - because of this, Alice, as always, was lucky enough to go directly to the Far East, without having to stay at the airport and wait for the government to arrange a suitable flight and escort warship.

For those who want to pick up themselves over there, I'm afraid that there will be a problem with the arrangement of the residence due to the sudden change of itinerary, right?

Thinking of this, Alice touched the head of the young dragon in her arms, and silently apologized in her heart for the cohabitant girl who had not yet met.

Outside the window, the Hood gradually distanced itself from Alice's passenger plane after the 'intelligence shield was lifted', and Alice knew that this was because it was close to her destination, Tianqi International Airport.

Even if it has carried countless glories, the Hood is a foreign ship in the end, and after entering the airspace of Tianqi, it is a matter of course that it will be escorted by other ships.

As soon as the Hood had almost left, the plane's radio stopped playing music, and after a brief murmur, an elegant female voice was heard.

"My name is Hood, and I am honored to have a short but enjoyable journey with all of you, and the rest of the journey will be taken over by the ships of the Heavenly Prayers, ladies and gentlemen, and we will see you soon."

After Hood's voice ended, the figure outside the window disappeared into the clouds again—but soon, another red-and-white painted ship appeared next to the airliner as a replacement.

"Goodbye, Hood." Alice muttered as she watched the figure of the floating battleship disappear.

At the same time, the radio sounded again, but this time calmly...... Although it sounds very calm, it is unexpectedly immature and crisp girl's voice.

"I'm Vittorio Veneto, and the next trip to Tianqi International Airport will be escorted by the ship "Litorio" belonging to the Eastern Mori Luo Company, although it is short, but I hope you can end this trip happily accompanied by our company."

“...... Oh, my God. ”

Unlike the silence when Hood said goodbye before, Vittorio Veneto's voice suddenly caused a lot of discussion inside the airliner.

"Do you hear that? Dongsenluo company! It's not the Far East branch of Senro! ”

"I have a hunch, Senluo Company, oh no, I should say that the stock of Ciro Company will definitely suffer Waterloo!"

"It's a business opportunity......"

"Alas, what do you think, when will Dongluo be listed?"

"I've long felt that the armed forces are so powerful, but they operate in the form of a company, and the local distribution becomes strong and then becomes independent, isn't it a matter of course......"

The sound was so loud that even Alice, who was sitting in the corner of the cabin with empty seats around her, could hear it.

The Far East Branch of Senluo Company wants to be independent, and this matter has long been spread in Zhongzhou, except for the Far East, where intelligence is blocked and restricted, and even Alice, who has just come out of a mental hospital, has heard of it.

The rise of Senluo Company is a legend, the original founder of Senluo Company, after accidentally activating a falling, production of self-discipline puppets assembly line god generation heritage, relying on the god generation heritage to create a large number of military self-discipline dolls, as mercenaries around the world, with the mode of war to feed war, so that the military strength of Sen Luo company expanded rapidly, even more than many medium-sized enchantment cities.

However, the excessive military strength, coupled with the corporate management model, led to the result that since the mysterious disappearance of its first president, the company has fallen into civil strife.

The branches in various places are clamoring for independence, and the Far East branch located in the Far East Continent is very serious because its geographical location is separated from the headquarters of Senluo Company in the Western Regions by more than half a planet.

In particular, the mysterious 'Vittorio Veneto', whose identity and gender are unknown—no one thought she was really a little girl—became the helmsman of the Far East branch of the Moriro Company, and not only ignored the orders of the headquarters and privately adjusted the prices of goods in the Far East, but also began to make contact and cooperate with the Oda family, the strongest local power in the Far East.

"Is this to emulate the Roman division? Directly called himself 'Dongluo'...... Vittorio Veneto, the name feels like a serious and dangerous uncle. ”

Due to some family reasons, Alice has also learned a lot of alchemy, and is barely a rookie alchemist, and in the small circle of alchemists in Zhongzhou, it has begun to go viral that Vittorio Veneto has given the technology of the 'external brain' as a gift to the Oda family.

Many people have even begun to speculate about when Oda's 'external brain' will be released, and it is generally believed that there will be promotional discounts at the beginning of the launch. After learning that Alice was about to move to the Far East, some people actually asked her directly if she had any plans to do daigou.

Alice said she was quite excited.

When Alice was distracted, the airliner was getting closer and closer to the far east, and if you looked out of the window, you could even faintly see the shadow of the city.

But-

Alice was suddenly approached by a crew member on an airplane.

Alice hurriedly hugged the young dragon tightly.

"This guest, we think that you are suspected of illegally carrying magic products, after arriving at the airport, please cooperate and accept our inspection."

“...... This is just a doll! It's true! ”

"Quack!"

"Uh, this is a mechanism, don't all current dolls have such a function? Just touch its belly and it will scream, you see! ”

"Whew!"

The young dragon opened its mouth, bared its sharp teeth, and then, as if yawning, spat out a pinch of flame.

The eyes of the "......" staff became colder and colder.

"Xiao Mo, you traitor!"

Ellie cried without tears.

As for Xia Qiudong-

Honestly waiting for the plane to arrive, he seriously thought about five ways to meet Alice, and he wanted to impress the girl, but he never expected that his pick-up object would be cut off.

In a sense, this first encounter can be regarded as impressive, right?

“MDZZ！” Xia Qiudong scolded a few times, and then reluctantly went to the airport guard room to fish for people.

Before he saw this person, the eldest lady had already started to trouble him.

He had a hunch that the next cohabitation life between the two would definitely be very lively...... in every sense of the word.
