At night

The night sky is shining.

Two stars converge in the center of the night sky, and I want to find my way home in the starry sky, but I can't find any of the constellations that belong to my memory.

On the deck of the magic airship, a number of Haiyinsi and Strange Rock people gathered together to dance around the five masts in a dance called 'Ziba', a transliteration of the word from the word for the lizard, which is said to mean 'a gathering of joy in the night', and the lizard-people worship the night, and many of their totems and occults are associated with the night.

Captain Ursula stood at the door of the captain's room, her eyes were like two ambers in the night, she was holding a huge wine bottle in her hand, leaning on the wooden railing, watching the people dancing on the deck with drunken eyes, a group of sailors joined in the dance, everyone sang and danced, the burning enthusiasm in her body infected everyone on the field, Helena pulled Sue into the crowd together, followed the beat like the waves of the sea, held the long skirt in one hand, and her graceful posture was reflected in the ship's horse lantern, and the legs were rolling.

At this time, the first mate was in the wheelhouse holding the steering wheel, he was holding a thick cigar, only at the moment of smoking, the cigar appeared a dark red, in order to make people feel his presence, I found that the crew on this airship have a good hand, their eyes hide a strong confidence, during the day I also saw a huge dragon hunting crossbow in the bow of the airship, although the seven or eight meters long giant crossbow bolt installed in the arrow trough has been stained with rust, but I can still smell a trace of dragon blood from the blood groove of the crossbow arrow, it is a crossbow arrow that has hunted dragons。

Although there are many signs that the dragon clan has long been far away from the Roland Continent, those sub-dragons and creatures with dragon blood still exist on this continent, among these sub-dragon clans, the dragon is the most common on the Roland Continent, followed by the sub-dragon and the wyvern, there are large groups of wyverns living in the wild swamp, and the lizard people have a very ancient profession- Beast Trainers, many lizard warriors inherit this ancient skill, they domesticate the giant lizards in the swamp as mounts, the petrified lizards as war beasts, and the bravest lizard warriors can also domesticate the wyverns in the swamp.

For so many years, the territory of the Grimm Empire has not expanded to the southwest, and it is also restricted by the lizard-people in those wild swamps, maybe a lizard-man tribe is not very strong, but this jungle hides hundreds of lizard-man tribes, these lizard-people tribes are constantly at war with each other, but once a foreign invasion, these lizard-people tribes will instantly twist into a rope to jointly resist foreign enemies.

Only the weakest tribes of lizardmen are pushed to the edge of the savage swamps, and these weak tribes of lizardmen are made outcasts by the lizardmen.

Even at night, the magic airship will not slow down because of the coming of night, the magic airship in the strong wind belt, the floating device only keeps the airship afloat, the speed is affected by the wind speed of the strong wind belt, and the direction of the airship is adjusted by the angle formed by the diversion groove and the sail under the airship, I approached the edge of the ship, staring at the huge floating device next to it, the central system of the floating device is running at high speed, and in its core area produces a magic circle that can get rid of gravity, and this central circle also produces a kind of repulsive force, it is this power of continuous downward repulsion that pushes the magic airship into the sky。

It is said that such a magic airship consumes nearly a hundred magic crystals a day, this is not the largest floating battleship in the Grimm Empire, I have seen that kind of giant floating battleship in the Vasqui plane, in addition to the Mensa family has a huge sea fleet, those floating battleships carrying magic cannons are also the biggest hole cards of the Mensa family, I am thinking that the kind of floating battleship may consume at least several times the magic crystal every day is at least several times that of this magic airship.

Senior Dylan has never discussed the internal composition of this floating device with me, in his opinion, the core magic circle of the floating device and the magic center of the teleportation array, are only after being promoted to become a third-turn magic master, can only be exposed to the deep magic, early contact with these magic principles will only make his body build up the magic structure quickly collapse, Dylan senior thinks that some advanced magic knowledge when magicians can't understand it at all, will feel completely contrary to the magic knowledge they have learned, which will shake the magic faith in his heart, so Dylan never touches these advanced magic knowledge, and constantly admonishing me to stay away from them in my daily life.

It's just that the more I do this, the more curious I am about these magical knowledge, and the roaring floating device in front of me is like a Pandora's box, full of temptation for me, and there is always an urge in my heart to lift the magic cover of the floating device.

My hand touched the top of the machine cover that looked like it had a metal shell, and the floating device made a 'buzzing' vibration sound, and I could feel the four magical elements flowing inside according to some kind of magical magic pattern trajectory, it seems that I guessed correctly, the floating device is neither a simple breath magic pattern array, nor a simple space magic pattern array, but a magic center composed of compound magic.

Just when I was looking at the floating device in front of me and was a little distracted, an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded around me.

"Doesn't the Marquis of Giga like to dance?" the voice was hoarse and a little neutral, and then I saw Captain Ursula sitting on the side of the ship not far away, holding the bottle.

The night breeze whipped her short blond hair, her amber eyes were like falcons in the sky, and although I hadn't had much contact with him, my instincts told me that she smelled of danger, but that she was not hostile to me at the moment.

I shook my head.

Then I looked at her with a puzzled expression, and when I saw her staring at the hand I stretched out to the floating device, I realized what was going on, it turned out that I had violated the taboo on the magic airship when I approached the floating device!

Actually, when I bought my airship ticket at the airport terminal, these rules of conduct were clearly written on the notice board, but when I felt the chaotic magical power contained in the floating device, I forgot about it.

With a look of dismay, I moved away from the float and said to the female captain, "Captain Ursula, how long have you been running on this course?"

Seeing that I had actually accosted her, Captain Ursula walked in with a bottle of wine, and sat down on the rope net opposite me, the rope net swayed like a comfortable hammock, and her body coordination was very good, she was so casual on the boat, as if she were standing in her own yard.

Ursula said to me: "Since I was born, I have been staying on the ship with my grandfather, this ship is a rite of passage given to me by the old man, I have run many routes in the past few years, and this route between Haiyin Silk City and Qiyan Province has been more than five years. ”

"Are you familiar with Qiyan Province?" I asked energetically, as soon as I mentioned something about Qiyan City, I became very energetic and patient.

Ursula shook his head inexplicably, smiled at me and said: "My airship only stops at the airport of Strange Rock City, that city is like a pearl embedded in the sea of trees, and it is also the forward fortress closest to the wild swamp of the Grimm Empire......

The bottle of wine was like a drink in her hand, and she only took a sip when she was thirsty.

For some reason, seeing her like this reminds me of Lyant in El City, perhaps because Ryant loves to drink so much.

I leaned closer, pulled out a fifteen-year-old bottle of Zimmermann Estate Golden Cider from my bosom, pulled out the cork with a 'pop', took out two more goblets, poured one for her and one for me, handed it to her, and took a demonstrative sip.

Captain Ursula pinned her bottle of wine to her belt, took a sip from the glass in front of her, her pupils narrowed instantly, and then she glowed with admiration.

Then her gaze fell on my face, and it seemed to say, "Do you have anything you want to ask me?"

Honestly, I hated these people who spoke with their eyes the most, and then I said to Captain Ursula, "Have you sailed between Strange Rock and Sea Sound Silk City for so long and transported lizard slaves?"

"Of course!" Captain Ursula replied very cheerfully, and she said without even thinking about it, "The sale of lizard slaves has spawned a considerable industrial chain in Strange Rock City, but lately the number of lizard slaves has become less and less. ”

"Less, why?" I asked, a little curiously.

Captain Ursula held his glass, and then the lantern hanging on the mast looked at the color of the golden cider in the glass, and said nonchalantly: "It's not that there is chaos among the lizard tribes, those lizard warriors have gone to battle, and the Zanga dynasty in the savage swamp is ready to rule the whole wilderness, and if you want to capture the lizard slaves, you have to try your luck in the wild swamps farther away, I heard that even the most senior slave hunters don't want to go there." ”

Then she looked over to me and asked, "Does the Marquis of Giga want to buy a lizard-man war slave?"

"Nope. I shook my head, "I've heard that there is a rare dragon fly living in the Wild Swamp, and I'd like to see it." ”

Unexpectedly, Ursula smiled intriguingly and said to me, "Oh, I know that thing, every year the Conmens family comes to Strange Rock City to buy dragon fly wings, which are the core materials for making the levitation device. ”

The deck suddenly became a little chaotic, the crowd that had been dancing in circles around the mast was in chaos, a group of bald men rushed through the chaotic crowd, rushed towards the two girls in the crowd, Helena drew her two-handed sword, blocked in front of Sue, and struck like an elegant dancer, pointing her sword at the bald men.

It's just that she's not a deterrent at all, no one will slow down her punches just because she's a sword dancer, and this kind of brawl on the ship is the most taboo to draw a weapon, which means that the brawl escalates into a fight.

At this time, no one noticed Katarina, who was half-crouched on the mast bar, and she blended in with the night, and whenever the bald men clashed with Helena, she would pounce like a female leopard.

Becky and Anne sensed that Helena and Sue were in danger and hurriedly squeezed towards the place where the crowd had gathered.

Ying Li stood on the ship's floor, already holding a magic book in his hand, and I was also paying attention to the movements on the field.

Unexpectedly, Captain Ursula beside me did not hesitate to blow the brass whistle hanging in front of his chest, and several crew members squeezed out of the crowd at this time, pointing muskets and scimitars at the bald men in their hands, and pointed their guns at the chests of the bald men without flinching.

Captain Ursula put down his glass, strode over, the group of passengers on the deck made way for her, she walked up to the bald man at the head, and without saying a word, she pulled out the huge wine bottle from her waist, and smashed it on the head of the bald man, the bottle shattered, and the blood mixed with wine flowed down from the top of the bald man's head, and the bald man looked stunned, and wanted to say something to resist, but Captain Ursula put a snow scimitar on his shiny black face.

For a moment, the deck became silent.

Captain Ursula's amber eyes looked like a lioness, and he said viciously: "If you want to stay on Lao Tzu's ship, give Lao Tzu a little peace, and if I see this kind of thing again, let Lao Tzu get off the ship!"

"Ursula, you ......" The bald man looked at Captain Ursula with a look of horror.

"Take them to the warehouse on the lower deck and give them a meal of multigrain porridge a day, these sand sculptures need to clear their heads......" Captain Ursula commanded to his crew.

......

After flying in the sky for five days, the magic airship finally broke into the vast forest in the south of the Grimm Empire, it is said that this was only the edge of the wild swamp before, the southerners of the Grimm Empire fought with the lizard tribe, and the southerners continued to invade the wild swamp for a hundred years, and constantly transformed the swamp into such a tropical rainforest at their feet, but they were not famous.

The northern Yankees of the Grimm Empire fought with the barbarians, and for a hundred years, the barbarians on the ice and snow tundra have continued to plunder the northern people on the White Elephant Plain, and expanded the territory of the barbarian tribe to the north bank of the Galloping Horse River, but no one denies the strength of the North Wind Legion, in order to hold the strong combat power of the North Wind Legion, the Angel Bird royal family has formed the South Wind Legion in addition to the Royal Constructed Knights, and the commander of the South Wind Legion has always been controlled by the prince of the Angelbold royal family of the Green Empire.

Speaking of the people of the North, the people of the Grimm Empire will frown wherever they are, those northern men who like to drink golden cider are born to fight, just like the barbarians on the ice and snow tundra......

(In other words, everyone should be a little prepared, this one has slowly come to an end)
