"Then we must now find Laputa before the military. After Hilda revealed his identity, Ryan proposed. "The previous light is likely to indicate the location of Sky City. To know that those with black glasses can go to Sida, who is now just a shepherdess, means that they know a lot of things, and maybe they can control the city in the sky.

"You're right, let's go now. Baru said with a wave of his hand, but his movements froze, "But, but how do we get there?" Not to mention that we have to get there before the military. ”

"We can solve this problem. Hermione said directly, and then she led everyone out of the tent and opened the space door, and then summoned the small spaceship from the space door last time from the world of the men in black.

In fact, when choosing an aircraft in this world, it would be more appropriate to summon the airship of the Brotherhood in the Fallout world, but now that time is a bit tight, it is more appropriate to focus on practicality.

"This airship is so weird, I've never seen anything like it before. After seeing a bus-sized spaceship suddenly appear in front of him, Balu said with some confusion. "It feels so much smaller than the ones I've seen before. ”

"Rest assured, no one's ship on this planet can catch up with us. Alright, now let's get on board and set off while the plane that had been scouting over the canyon is not coming now. Ryan waved his wand to quickly pack up the tent, and then entered the ship with the group.

Once inside, the ship's doors close automatically. When the soft light on the ceiling came on, Baru and Sidah opened their mouths in surprise, as the inside of the ship was much larger than what they looked from the outside.

"Is this magic?" said Baloo, who rushed to a monitor that faithfully reflected what was going on outside the ship, looking like a giant porthole.

"Of course, it's a combination of technology and magic. Ryan introduced in a proud tone, "After we bought this ship, we put a lot of spells on it, making it much stronger than in the past. After speaking, Ryan raised his head slightly and shouted: "Now turn on the stealth engine, and then move due east." ”

After a slight jolt, the ship flew up from the grass of the hill. At the same time, a blue circle of light was generated from the bow of the ship and panned towards the stern, directly sweeping the entire spaceship, and as the circle moved, the spaceship slowly disappeared into the air.

"The spacecraft can travel at Mach 15 in the atmosphere, which is 15 times the speed of sound travel. "So we should be able to get ahead of the military to Laputa." ”

"You're right. Balu nodded vigorously. "I've heard that the military's fastest flying warship can only travel 60 kilometers per hour, and we are more than 300 times faster, and if we are in the right direction, we should be in Laputa in a few minutes. ”

"Let's start with the military's plans. Ryan finished his command to the ship's artificial intelligence, "Now monitor all the military's radio communications, and list the movements of the flying warships and flight plans." ”

Just a dozen seconds after the order was given, a projection appeared in front of them and a large amount of data was displayed, and at the same time, the artificial intelligence on the ship said in a mechanical voice: "Now 17 radio communications related to the movement of flying warships have been detected, and only one is related to us after excluding normal patrols and transfers." ”

"It's just too fast. Baloo gave a look of disbelief. "I've heard that the military's radios use the latest ciphers, but you guys cracked their secrets almost instantly. ”

"Of course, the technology here is so far away from what we have to know that their passwords are useless to us. Ryan said that his words were not an exaggeration, and that sometimes the generation gap in technology can crush the inferior technology. For example, with the help of quantum computers, the kind of messages used by the military that were encrypted through early cipher machines are no different from those sent in clear code.

After explaining, Ryan asked the ship, "Okay, now tell us what the information about the transfer of the spacecraft related to us is, and all the sailing plans of that ship." ”

"Ship location, from the B7 base to the Grand Canyon base. The ship's AI continued to say in that flat-bed tone. "According to the order, the military's fastest flying battleship will depart for Laputa tomorrow morning. The estimated flight time is 24 hours. ”

"Looks like we should be able to get to Sky City two days early. After listening to the words of the artificial intelligence on the ship, Ryan turned to everyone and said, "In two days, there should be a way for us to hide the Sky City from the military's group of careerists." ”

Now that they knew the military's plan, Lane and the others did not sail at the top speed so aggressively, but controlled the sailing time to about half an hour, so that they could just have a simple lunch on the ship.

Steaks, salads, and fruit juices of some kind make up the main course of this simple luncheon, but the craftsmanship of the skilful gentlemen still makes everyone satisfied, and when everyone spends ten minutes eating lunch, the messy table is left to the robot to clean up. And they went to the small room next door to drink tea and chat.

"You have such advanced technology and powerful magic. Why have we never heard of your existence?" asked Hilda, plucking up the courage to talk. "Surely those who have such power over you will not submit to the rule of the military, but I have never heard of you in conflict with them. ”

"That's because—" Ryan and Hermione looked at each other and discussed a few words through the Phoenix Brand, they didn't expect Sida to see the problems in their previous narrative in such a short time.

But this is to be expected, after all, magic can be in the hands of some individual person. But like the current spaceship, it must be a complete industrial system, and it is not something that a few people can make by themselves alone.

Soon the two of them agreed on how to answer Hilda's question, and Hermione cleared her throat and looked at Hilda and said, "Because we come from a world other than this world, you have never heard of us. ”

"What?" Hilda and Baru stood up from their seats in surprise, but Ryan made a quiet gesture. "Rest assured, we are only here to travel and pursue our knowledge that does not exist in our world, not for conquest or war or anything. ”

"Is that true?" asked Balu in a skeptical tone, but soon remembered that Ryan hadn't done anything evil before, and that it was inappropriate for him to ask such a question. I mean, we've seen a lot of people who have enough strength and are greedy for Laputa—"

"You're worried that we'll find Laputa and use that Sky City for evil purposes. Ryan got straight to the point, "I can understand why you think that, but I need to tell you that we really don't use this city for evil purposes. After all, for us, those weapons on ancient Laputa are not even as powerful as the power we used to have. ”

"In the same way, we have ruled several nations in other worlds, but we did not conquer them, but we were elected king by the common people after destroying the oppressors and evil forces. Hermione said seriously, "Power is relative to duty, and ruling a country is a heavy burden for us. We are more willing to pursue endless knowledge than to rule a nation. ”
