Day and night alternated, the starlight gradually dimmed, and the band of light on the horizon kept extending to the horizon, as if an invisible hand had lifted the dark blue light veil, standing on the collision angle at the very front of the airship deck, I closed my eyes and felt the changes in the magical elements at the turn of day and night, and those magical elements merged into a long river that flowed slowly in the air.

Our airship is in the middle of it

Above the clouds, a huge wheel of light rose from the sky, releasing dazzling light.

The cold wind blew across my cheeks, fresh and cool.

Captain Mackintosh's rough voice came from the captain's room at the stern of the airship: "We have entered the predetermined wind zone, all units pay attention, prepare, set sail, and set sail!"

With the sound of a low horn, the huge airship that was nearly 100 meters long stopped sinking, the magic crystals on the eight floating magic circles all lit up, the airship shook violently, and then stopped on the north wind belt, the sails on the five masts were slowly pulled up by the crew, the strong north wind blew on the thick canvas, the huge canvas ate the wind power, and the five tall masts were pulled by the hurricane. With a creaky sound, the airship began to accelerate in the wind belt, and Captain Mackintosh controlled the rudder and began to adjust the direction of the airship's travel.

An hour before the airship, the experienced Captain Mackintosh finally managed to find the wind layer of the north wind, and after almost half an hour of adjustment, the airship finally entered the wind belt and allowed the airship to sail south-southeast at full speed.

There weren't many passengers on deck, and everyone seemed to be still immersed in last night's events, some were secretly rejoicing for the rest of their lives, some were mourning their deceased relatives, some were complaining about how unlucky they were, the rebels' hijacking had delayed their trip, many people were resting in their rooms, and everyone hadn't slept well all night.

Princess Sha and Sophie also moved to Moraya's room, and when old friends meet, there is always something to talk about.

As Lady Arya departed, her eyes showed more curiosity about me, and though she seemed to have much to say, she apparently restrained her impulse, and returned to her room with the poor maid with the first aid bandage on her head.

When I turned around, I saw that her slender eyes revealed a touch of charming style, her bright red lips seemed to contain a red cherry, she hesitated for a moment, took out a red gold name card from her arms, and said to me: "When you are in the imperial capital, if you have spare time, you can come to my house as a guest, if you are not very familiar with the imperial capital, please believe me, I will be the best guide, I am familiar with every street and alley in the imperial capital!"

I politely took the gilded stamping card from her jade hand, which was as smooth as a girl, and put it in my magic waist bag, and then nodded politely to Lady Arya and said, "Thank you for the invitation, I will visit." ”

I once heard Ann say that Aunt Arya married a very well-established aristocratic family in San Carlos Province, but it has only declined in recent years.

I thought maybe I could find out Kige's whereabouts from Arya's mouth.

Thinking of that lonely girl who is incomparably beautiful and as lonely as the Void Silent Moon, I don't know how she has been doing in the imperial capital over the years, maybe she is already married!

......

Sitting on the sofa in the captain's cabin, drinking the strange taste of barley wine, obviously this light drink, more in line with my taste, compared to the sweet and sour golden cider, I prefer the barley aroma, it is more like the beer in my original world, although the taste of the wine is very light, the taste of the wheat is slightly stronger, but the white foam that keeps overflowing from the mouth of the glass, some memories in my mind are clear.

I asked Captain Mackintosh curiously, "Captain Mackintosh, why are you so surprised to hear that the airship is approaching the edge of the Purple Green Mountains, are you worried about something?"

Captain Mackintosh held one hand on the rudder, leaned on the rudder, squinted into the distance, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the giant peak that was inserted into the sky dozens of kilometers away, a look of fear flashed in his eyes, he opened his mouth for a long time without making a sound, as if he was wandering out of the world all of a sudden, after a while, he silently took a puff of cigarette, inhaled the spicy smoke into his lungs and spit it out again.

He raised his wrinkled eyelids and looked at me before he said, "I'm worried about the dangerous peaks in these mountains and the magical beasts that can fly freely, you see there......"

He held a dark green pipe in his hand, and a trace of green smoke was blown away by the wind from the pipe, and the aroma of tobacco leaves was somewhat pungent.

The wrinkled hand waved slightly, as if to remove the layers of mist, and my gaze followed his finger into the distance, and I saw the peaks of the mountains emerging from the thick clouds like bamboo shoots dozens of miles away, and looked at Captain Mackintosh in bewilderment.

Captain Mackintosh said slowly: "That is the easternmost gateway mountain of the Ziqing Mountain Range, even if you enter here, even if the airship enters the Ziqing Mountain Range." ”

I asked Captain Mackintosh, "The last time I went to Ziqing Mountain City, it took me seven days to fly, but now we have really touched the edge of the Ziqing Mountain Range in just one night?"

I can't figure out why it only takes one night to reach the edge of the Ziqing Mountain Range, but the last time I went to the mountain city, I stayed on the airship for seven days before I arrived at the purple green mountain city.

"Hehe, this is the easternmost point of the Ziqing Mountain Range, and there is indeed a long way to go from here to Ziqing Qingshan City, but then again, we captains who drive airships like to abide by some ancient traditions, and every safe route is the safest route that has been summed up by countless ancestors after years of exploration, and for the demonic beasts in the Ziqing Mountain Range, we are the foreign invaders. Captain Mackintosh smiled and said casually.

He then beckoned to the crew member on the mast, and scolded loudly: "Little rabbit cub, how many times has Lao Tzu said that when you come down, you have to climb the soft ladder, if the airship encounters turbulence and can lift you to the outside of the airship, why do T_M_D you always take Lao Tzu's words as the wind in your ears?"

The crew, who was sliding down with the mainmast in both hands, shrunk his neck in fright, and landed like a rabbit in the cabin below deck.

"Aren't those rebels afraid of death?" I asked curiously.

Captain Mackintosh squinted his eyes and said, "After all, they are a group of rebels with their heads in their hands, maybe they are not afraid of death for a long time!"

It can be seen that he doesn't have much hatred for the rebels who hijacked his airship, and perhaps sending these rebels to the prison in the imperial capital is already his greatest wish.

"I don't think they're afraid of death, my servants chase them on deck like hares on the steppe!" I said with a laugh, and I had the impression that only the old witch, the crazy young captain, and the black-clad archers of these rebels were a little backbone, and the rest were not even as good as the ordinary inhabitants of the city of El.

"Do you think those people are really rebels, if they are, then your Excellency the Magician, you must be underestimating the rebels in this mountain!" Captain Mackintosh smiled wryly at me.

"Aren't they rebels?" I looked over to the deck of the airship, where several rebels with shackles in their hands were pouting their butts and trying to clean the blood from the deck under the watchful eye of the crew.

"The real rebels, there should be only three people, two of them are dead, my crew has gathered their corpses, it is the old magician and the young man who is good at using the rapette, as for the last one, I believe you are more familiar, it is the archer, they are the real rebels, as for the others...... Those martial artists are just the servants of the young man, as for the other rebel crews, they are just some homeless people and homeless people who can't survive, they can't be regarded as rebels in the real sense, the real rebels can walk freely in the poor mountains and bad waters where demonic beasts are rampant, and the rebels who can survive, each of them is an elite warrior. Captain Mackintosh said.

I looked at the rebels curled up and wiping the blood on the deck, and asked him, "Do you hate them?"

"They're just a bunch of poor homeless people, but they broke the laws of the Empire and nearly killed a boatload of us, and I don't think anyone on board would have made it out of the Purple Mountains alive if we had made it to the rebel camp! Maybe my crew and I would have died a little sooner. Captain Mackintosh said to me earnestly.

He seemed to be familiar with the Ziqing Mountain Range, and in his eyes, I always felt that he had a faint worry.

"Is the cruel living environment a threat to us from the Ziqing Mountains?aren't these rebels afraid of the demonic beasts in the mountains, nor are they afraid of sailing at night?" I asked Captain Mackintosh.

"In the Ziqing Mountain Range, I don't know how many of them are like this bamboo shoot-shaped gateway mountain that goes straight into the clouds, these rebels live in the mountains all year round, probably they know the location of these peaks, so they dare to fly into the mountains of the Ziqing Mountain Range at night. Captain Mackintosh pondered for a moment before he said uncertainly.

Then he continued: "It's our luck that this airship is lucky not to hit such a majestic peak, otherwise according to the speed of this airship, if it crashes into such a portal mountain while sailing at night, I don't know how many people on this ship will survive." ”

He glanced worriedly at the Portal Mountain again before saying, "As for those ferocious magical beasts, all we need to do is pray to the goddess!"

......

Although the crew members were still sluggish, they only drank a little bit of golden cider to warm their bodies all night, except for a piece of dry bread, and then the crew went to work with all their might, they began to clean the corpses on the deck, methodically relocate the lost passengers on the airship, repair the broken hatches on the airship, and dispose of the rebel prisoners, who are now the drudgery on the airship.

There is a temporary water point on the deck of the airship, and a magic rune board of the water gathering magic circle is hung on a wooden wall, it is a very simple magic rune metal plate, even a little rudimentary, the magic runes inside are all clearly exposed, the shopkeeper who sells this magic rune board is very smart, he used a thin iron plate on the edge of the metal plate to form a simple water collector, and the clear water flows out of the water collector continuously, which is a very practical small design.

Sister Guoguo squatted next to the water concentrator, curiously watching the water flow into a large wooden barrel, and when the water was full, a strong and powerful arm would pick up the big wooden bucket, walk to the deepest place with blood stains, and pour the whole bucket of water on the floor with a 'boom', and then shouted loudly to the rebel prisoners in a rough voice: "If you don't want to be whipped, give Lao Tzu some money!"

When the rebel captives who were pouting and squatting on the deck heard this shout, they immediately lowered their heads and quickened their pace, pushing the rags in their hands and running on the deck.

......

At that moment, a terrible hissing sound that almost pierced the eardrum was heard in the distance with the sound of the wind, and the sounds were almost united.

The old captain Mackintosh, who had been standing next to the rudder and looked very leisurely, suddenly came to his senses, his eyes were round and he looked in the direction of the towering portal mountain on the left, and the rudder in his hand turned sharply to the right, killing the rudder before stopping, with a look of panic in his eyes, he shouted loudly in a hoarse voice: "Go and raise the horn sail in front of you!"

"Captain, how many corner sails are raised?" the first mate standing on the deck was stunned, but immediately prepared to mobilize his men and rush to the bow of the ship.

"All!" Captain Mackintosh exclaimed without hesitation.

The first mate was obviously a little hesitant, but he still said firmly: "Yes!"

I got up from my daychair and looked out of the captain's cabin, and when I saw Captain Mackintosh's cautious expression, I asked him, "Captain, what happened?"

Mackintosh's wrinkled forehead was twisted into a 'Chuan' shape at the moment, he turned his head to look at me, and said to me solemnly: "Your Excellency Magician, I'm sorry, we are very unfortunate to encounter the wind snakes in the Ziqing Mountain Range, they are cruel and murderous by nature, this kind of monster is especially like to live in groups, they are born with a pair of wings on their backs, they come and go like the wind, and they are good at wind magic, they are simply our captain's nightmare!"

"I didn't escape this catastrophe after all!" said Captain Mackintosh in frustration.

His face turned extremely pale, and his eyes were full of worry.

I asked Captain Mackintosh, "What level of monster is the Wind Snake?"

"A second-level high-level demonic beast, and it is also witty and cunning, and likes to live in groups!" replied Captain Mackintosh without hesitation.
