The two of them have been busy from day to night, and they didn't even have time to eat dinner, and finally got a balloon for the hot air balloon, but the most important hanging basket of the hot air balloon has not yet landed, and there is no way, Rafa had to call Audair, go to the already empty construction site and steal the hanging basket that Kaido used to paint the exterior wall, and was almost stopped by the knight on the night patrol on the way.

"Almost. ”

Using chains and ropes to connect the basket to the balloon, Rafa finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Felihill kept watching Rafa's movements, but still couldn't figure out what the principle was, "So how is this thing going to fly into the sky?"

"Of course, taking advantage of the difference in the density of air," Rafa said as she walked over to her table and took a sip from Felihill's teacup, "You may not believe it, but air also has weight, and the weight of different air is very different. ”

Glancing at the drained teacup, Felicille didn't care too much, "I'll ask you after that, now I just want to know how you made it fly." ”

Rafa smiled and shouted to the slightly lit room in the distance, "Heda!

His shout can be regarded as attracting the attention of all the witches, and they all pushed their rooms open, and even Katya and Shirley, who lived on the third floor, hurriedly ran down.

The structure of the castle lord's mansion is really strange, like a "Tian" shaped structure, but each courtyard in the middle of the Tian character is still different in size, the two slightly larger courtyards are all Philicill's territory, and the front hall of Rafa is not even within the scope of the Tian character, but this structure is enough to make the people who live in it feel a great sense of security, and it is a typical structure used for defense.

Rafa looked at the witches who had hurried down to the courtyard, and looked forward to the day when all the rooms here would be filled with witches.

"What did you call us for?" said Elle, still in her pajamas, with sleepy eyes on her face.

"Didn't I say that? Rafa walked into the middle of the field and began to pack up the extremely wide balloon.

"What does it have to do with us that you want to go to heaven?" asked Heda, who was fully dressed, jumped down from the second floor and folded her hands.

"Is Lafago's going to use flames?" Shirley snapped.

"That's exactly what I think about. Katya had recently worn a pair of glasses that Felihill had made for her, and it seemed that the work of the academy was not easy.

Cole rested his head on Katya's shoulder, as if he was about to fall asleep, "Katya, why are you waking me up?"

"It's lively. Katya rubbed her cheek with her hand, and then held Shina, who looked curious, with her hand.

It seems that all the witches have arrived except for Lilith, who is still asleep, and Sena originally wanted to live with Kyle, but Felihill left her in the Castle Lord's Mansion.

"You all stand farther away and let Hedda and Elle come over. ”

Standing in the middle of the large courtyard, Rafa shouted to the witches in the distance.

"Let's go, Elle. ”

"Oh. ”

Hedda usually goes to bed early, and by this time she is still fully dressed, and it is clear that she is very interested in what Rafa is doing, so she has not slept all this time, and this is the moment she has been waiting for.

"What is going to be done?" Hedda seemed to be unable to wait.

"Stand in the basket and wait a moment for the balloon to puff up and let out flames into it, but be careful not to burn the cloth. ”

"Alright, let's get started. ”

With that, Rafa used a long wooden stick to prop up the hole in the bottom of the balloon, so that more wind energy could be poured into the balloon and the balloon could be propped up as soon as possible.

"Come on!"

Seeing that the balloon was almost inflared, he shouted at the second daughter.

Hedda and Elle also stretched out their hands at the same time, and a dark orange fireball suddenly lit up in the hole, and through the fine silk and cloth, everyone could also see the light inside.

At the same time, Rafa dropped the stick and climbed into the basket, looking up at the balloon that was rapidly puffing up and getting fuller and fuller.

"I see...... "Felihill stared at the balloon she had sewn growing in size, as if she understood something.

"Wow, that's big. ”

The witches all looked up at the huge hot air balloon and couldn't help but exclaim.

Rafa shouted to the witches in the distance, "Come up, let's try this thing!"

Ordinary hot air balloons actually have no power, all it can do is pull it with a rope and then float with the wind, but because of the existence of the fire witch, it not only solves the problem of heat, but also solves the problem of moving forward and backward; because the flame has great energy, if the flame is applied in the horizontal direction of the hot air balloon, the hot air balloon will be subjected to a reaction force; it is like loading the hot air balloon with the jet engine of an airplane.

The most active Audrey jumped into the basket as soon as he jumped in, and the rest of the excited witches also hurried towards the hot air balloon, and were led by Rafa into the basket.

When the witches all entered the gondola, the hot air balloon had straightened the chain connecting the gondola and began to pull the gondola off the ground, causing the women to exclaim.

"Hurry up, Fili!"

The elegant Felihill had just reached the basket, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, the basket rose rapidly.

As the basket went up, Rafa saw a look of horror in Felihill's eyes for the first time.

"But I'm going to take advantage of you. ”

With a silent thought, he stretched out half of his body, put his hands under Felihill's armpits, lifted them up, and took her in his arms.

"So soft, so fragrant......"

There was a deliberate pause before he placed her in the hanging basket.

But Felicille didn't seem to care, leaning on the edge of the basket and looking at the world that was fading away below.

"Wow!"

Except for Felicille and Heda, everyone let out an exclamation, they didn't expect that they were not the Wind Witch, but they could have the opportunity to fly into the sky in such a new and strange way.

Although it was already night, and it was no longer clear to see anything from the sky and the ground, even so, they could not stop their excitement, and began to chatter about where there was a light below.

"Heda, Elle, keep up the current firepower, this height is enough. Rising to a height where they could already have a full bird's-eye view of the mountains, Rafa admonished them.

Ai Lei put down her hand and wondered, "With such firepower, you don't even need Sister Heda to make a move." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Hedda also lowered her hand, but the dark orange flame above her head did not change in the slightest, it seemed that it was indeed too simple to control the flames at such a close distance.

"The principle of a hot air balloon is actually to heat the air in the balloon, and the hot gas rises, and the balloon is also carried up, and it really doesn't need much flame. ”

"So as long as we keep heating the balloon, we can fly to the end of the sky?" Philicille stared wide-eyed at the darkness far away, it was pitch black, but she seemed to be able to see it all.

"Theoretically, it can be done, but as the altitude increases, the turbulence increases, and the temperature gets lower, I'm afraid the hot air balloon won't be able to withstand that kind of damage, and if it is torn apart by the wind, we will all be doomed. Rafa deliberately made a foley sound of a cloth "tearing" that was torn apart.

When Rafa said this, Shirley immediately became nervous, "Huh? Will the balloon be torn up now?"

"Of course not, this is something that Fili and I have carefully sewn, and I'm afraid that no wind can tear it apart except for the storm. ”

As she spoke, the silk scarf on top of Felihill's head spread slightly, and then it was blown by the incoming wind, and immediately flew out, and her hair began to fly with the wind.

Luckily, Rafa was quick and grabbed the fluttering silk scarf and handed it to Felicille with a smile.

"Thank you. ”

Taking the silk scarf, Felihill tied her hair up simply, her eyes flickering slightly.

"Elle, unleash a flame behind us and let it propel us forward. ”

Now it was time for his attempt to succeed, and if not, his plan to rescue Lena might have to be delayed.

"Oh. ”

Elle, who seemed to be a little afraid of heights, squatted inside the hanging basket, and then her eyes flickered slightly, and a swirl-like flame began to form behind the hanging basket.

"It's done!"

Feeling the basket tilt as if it had been pushed up, he knew it worked.

Then everyone could feel that the hot air balloon was slowly moving in the opposite direction of the flames, and although it didn't feel fast, the ice city on the ground was rapidly moving away.

After flying for a while, I don't know where I flew, and the wind around me stopped, Rafa couldn't help but ask Filihill, "Fili, how does it feel to fly into the sky?"

"Not bad. Felihill could feel the ease in her tone.

"It was an honor to receive a compliment from Miss Fili. ”

While the two were talking, Audele, who had been lying on the edge of the hanging basket, suddenly shouted, "Your Highness, there seem to be traces of demon beasts below." ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked towards the ground far away, because it was cloudy and there was no moonlight, so they could only see that something seemed to be stirring in the darkness on the ground, and no matter how they looked, they couldn't see clearly, not even Rafa, who had excellent eyesight.

"This isn't the direction to the mountains," Rafa glanced back, and couldn't see the fires of Icefield City anymore, "and we're already very far away from Icefield City, and we must be the beasts that are going to invade other towns." ”

Felihill frowned and said to Hedda and Elle, "Let the balloon slow down a little bit and slow it down." ”

"Hmm. ”

Both agreed at the same time, and both the fireball and the whirlpool flame quickly became smaller, and the height of the hot air balloon slowly decreased, and the speed of progress began to slow down.

"Stay tall, illuminate. Felihill added.

Her series of actions only made Rafa look sideways, as if she already knew all about the control of the hot air balloon.

In the midst of everyone's astonished eyes, Hedda pulled out a gun from his cloak.

"You don't sleep with a gun, do you?" asked Rafa.

"Huh, how do you know? Did you peek at me sleeping?"

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense......" He glanced at Felicille, but the latter was unmoved.

With a chuckle, Hedda injected magic into a bullet and fired a shot into the ground.

The flopping firelight quickly turned into a violent white light, illuminating everything on the ground.

"Tsk...... Wretched. ”

Seeing the tragic situation on the ground, Rafa couldn't help but shake his head, and Shi Nai and Shirley were so frightened that they hugged each other with pale faces and didn't dare to look at it again.

It was a town that had been trampled by evil beasts, and judging from the scale of the ruins, it should be a small town, with more than 300 households, but now there was not a single building that could still stand on the ruins, as if it had been breathed by a dragon, and all of them collapsed to the ground, and there were not even a few bricks and tiles intact.

And this town seems to have been attacked by evil beasts for a few days, but there are still hordes of all kinds of evil beasts are gnawing at the mutilated and dilapidated human corpses on the ground, especially on the ruins of a collapsed church and the like, all kinds of human corpses are huddled together, and the surrounding evil beasts are eating happily, among those corpses are old and young, men and women, but none of them are intact; even if they are far away, the people on the hot air balloon can think of the tragedy and despair before their death, which is really a bit miserable.

Before they died, they huddled in the church and prayed for God's salvation, but there was no God in this world.

"Except for the towns with high walls, I'm afraid there is no place to stop the beasts. After looking at it for a moment, Felicille withdrew her gaze.

"We've eliminated the main force of the evil beasts for them, and the big cities in the middle of Aura just form a line of defense, so it shouldn't be a problem to deal with those wandering evil beasts," Rafa lay on the side of the hanging basket and looked down, "And I estimate that this year's evil beast tide has passed, and the scale of the evil beast tide will grow larger next year or the year after." ”

"So you're sure you'll be able to hold Icefield City in the future?" asked Felihill.

"As long as the witches are in Icefield, we can do almost anything, Fili......" he turned to look at Felici, "as long as there is an idea...... Maybe...... It's not impossible for you to be a queen. ”

As soon as these words came out, the witches and Audrey were startled and looked at him in amazement.

If you want Philicille to be the queen, then doesn't he want to be the emperor!

You must know that he is already just a prince who has been assigned to the frontier, although he has the name of a prince, but all his rights are only in Icefield City, with the current strength of Icefield City, I am afraid it will still be difficult to fight against the huge Ora.

Felihill pondered, as if she wanted to answer earnestly.

After a long while, she finally said, "Think about the present first, and then talk about the future." ”

Judging by her neither affirmative nor negative answers, she was still very optimistic about Rafa, but it was still in its infancy, and it was too early to talk about those things.

"Burn them all, Heda. Felihill continued.

Hedda agreed, and after a moment's of strength, fired a fierce shot into the ground.

The heat flow from the skyrocketing fire caused the hot air balloons to shake slightly.

The flames on the ground began to spread rapidly, and the beasts were reduced to ashes before they could escape, and Rafa let Elle control the hot air balloon and slowly leave.

After staring at the fire-filled town for a while, Sena remembered that she had been to this town before, and that the vegetable merchant who was going to come to Icefield City had also stopped here, and now that he saw the destroyed town, it was expected that he would probably have died under the beast's mouth.

"Dare to be disrespectful to Xiao Nai, it's good that person is dead!"

After listening to Shi Nai's story, Shirley also began to rejoice that Shi Nai took the first step at that time.

"I said that there have been fewer merchants trapped in Icefield City recently, and it turns out that they have been attacked by wild beasts...... Rafa is also happy for Shi Nai, and on the other hand, he is also worried that the road to Icefield City will be blocked, which is a troublesome matter, "I hope that spring will start soon, and the river will thaw, so that the evil beasts can be prevented from crossing the river." ”

"It's an unsolvable question," said Felihill, "and I've asked the inhabitants that the beasts usually act in the winter, and when the river thaws, the beasts are almost dormant. ”

"Hmm...... "That's right," he pondered for a moment, and found that this was indeed the case, "go back, I need to get ready, and go pick up Liana." ”

Speaking of Lena, the three Katya sisters are worried.

Propelled by Elle, the hot air balloon slowly heads back in the direction of Icefield City.

"Did you see it? The big pit that Shi Nai made that day, I didn't expect to see the outline in the dark, it seems that the pit is bigger than I thought. Approaching Icefield, Rafa said to the crowd.

"Uh...... I'm sorry......" Perhaps thinking that Rafa was blaming her, Shi Nai hurriedly apologized.

"I don't blame you, I have to thank you. Rafa smiled.

"Huh, thank me, why?"

"I'm worried that it will be difficult to get water in Icefield City in the future, so you dug a big pit for me, and it happens to include the river, and when the river thaws, it will become a big lake, and it will be much more convenient to build ships and get water. ”

He was telling the truth, although the river outside the city of Icefield City was not small, the water flow was very fast, and in some places it was very turbulent, and it could only be barely navigable, but now there is a deep pit, which just eliminates the most turbulent part, and only needs to wait until the big pit is filled with water, and it is definitely a small lake with a huge effect.

Receiving Rafa's compliment, Tona laughed happily.

Because he didn't want to cause too much of a sensation, taking advantage of the night, the hot air balloon quietly landed in the city lord's mansion.

"Rafago, are you going to use this to find Sister Lena?" Jumping off the hanging basket, Shirley felt a little unsteady on her feet, but fortunately Rafa quickly helped her.

"yes, what's wrong?" replied Rafa as she jumped down holding the witches' hands.

"Can I go along?"

"Shirley, the crisis in Icefield City has not been completely resolved, and you will have a greater role in staying in Icefield City than with us. ”

"Oh......" couldn't pick up her sister Lianna in person, and Shirley was obviously a little frustrated.

"Huh? Who are they?" said Elle.

"Nonsense, of course it's me and you, and Heda. ”

"Ah, you want me to go to that hellish place, I just escaped from there not long ago!" said Elle, who didn't want to go back to that dangerous place where she didn't have enough to eat.

"Ha, yes! you came out of the Orr Mountains, you know the way, and you can't do it now!" Rafa didn't intend to listen to her complaints.

Hedda cares very much for Elle, who is also a flame witch, "Forget it if Elle doesn't want to go, I can control two flames alone." ”

"No, we can't stay on the balloon all the time, can we? And it's very troublesome for the balloon to rise up if it lands in the mountains, so there must always be a witch in the gondola to ensure that the balloon doesn't fall to the ground and keeps it maneuvering at all times. ”

"......" Hedda couldn't refute it now.

"Your Highness, can't I go too?" Audrey was a little anxious.

"Ao Dai, I understand you, but this time, you can't go. Rafa knew that the hardest person to convince was Audrey.

"But..."

"It's nothing, you should know that I'm no worse than you. Patting Audair on the shoulder, he began to turn around and pack up his cowering balloon for next use.

Felihill stood by as if trying to say something, but after hearing the conversation between Rafa and Audrey, she finally didn't say anything.
