Chapter 103: Behind the scenes

The airship flies slowly in the blue sky.

Vernet had been looking forward to the airship passing through the clouds, through the marshmallow-like clouds, it must have been fun, but unfortunately the airship was still a little bit higher than the clouds...... It is better to say that many distances are impossible from the beginning, and can only be expected in vain.

If you want to reach your destination, it will take about a few days, and this one is not in a hurry.

The flight speed of the airship is a reason, if you change to a flying mount riding a dragon, griffin or something, their flight speed is many times faster than that of an airship, and the time is much saved. The map is big enough is also a reason, and it can only fly along the route, it may be an arc, you may need to go around some, anyway, you can't fly in a straight line.

Even if the once glorious Rhodes Empire is just a large territory, in fact, there are only so many places that it really controls, nothing more than some cities and places around the cities, in addition to large areas of untouched land, where many terrible lives live, and it would be bad to invade other people's territories and airspace at will, and provoke enemies. For the first-class airship of the empire, it is naturally domineering and fearless, anyway, the airship that everyone is riding in does not dare to mess around.

The first day of the airship's voyage in the sky was quite a novelty, including De Julan, who liked to stand on the deck with Vene in his arms and look down, and he could see many special scenery from a high vantage point.

"There, Vinet looks there, there's the Kareda Mountain Road, where we've been before, where we've met the Corpse Bird."

"The corpse bird is so ugly." Vernet said that the little girl's attention was particularly strange.

"I think it's pretty beautiful, and as long as you don't open your mouth, you have a special taste when you open your mouth." De Youlan said.

"Strange aesthetic." Valya leaned against the railing of the deck with her hands on her chest, her short dark chestnut hair tousled by the wind.

Amelia listened silently, she had heard Verne talk about the corpse bird, she hadn't really seen the disappearance in her heart, she didn't have an impression, she couldn't say anything.

Vene really didn't have any eyesight, and jumped up: "Amelia, is that your village?" ”

Before Amelia could speak, De Juran said, "Definitely not. ”

"I think so." Vernet nodded.

"The airship flew in the exact opposite direction to the village we used to go to Amelia." De Youlan is so sure, of course, for a reason.

The airship was far away from the city, and the ground was no longer a field of wheat after harvesting, but now it had become a dark green forest and a deep valley, and occasionally some birds hovered over the forest, and suddenly a group of special things appeared in the sky, and a large group of huge butterflies covered the sky, and Weine shouted: "You see, there are so many butterflies, so many, so many." The little girl waved her hand and gestured, even though De Yulan usually taught her to speak well, but once she was excited, she couldn't remember.

"Vortex butterfly." De Youlan said.

"It's beautiful." Amelia said.

"They look beautiful, but they're not cute at all." "Swirling butterflies don't feed on nectar, they feed on animals, and their recipes include people. Ordinary swirl butterflies are nothing remarkable, and the queen of swirl butterflies can create swirls by flapping their wings...... Although we call it the queen of the whirlpool butterfly, in fact, there is no king or king of the whirlpool butterfly, they are not social animals, the so-called queen of the whirlpool butterfly is just our name, describing it as particularly powerful. Hunting them, wings can be used to make ornaments, and they are also the material for making many things, and many adventurers specialize in hunting vortex butterflies, they are also called insect catchers. ”

Amelia and Vene listened with relish, Valya was careless, and she knew all this knowledge.

De Yulan glanced at the Elven Ranger and asked, "Valya, do you know where the swirling butterflies go in groups?" ”

"Well, I don't know." Knowing what it is, not knowing why, Valya is it.

"They're heading south." "Egg-overwintering, larval overwintering, pupation overwintering, adult overwintering, the whirlpool butterflies will spend the winter in the form of adult migration, and they will migrate all the way to the forests of the south, in the twilight gardens of the kingdom of Minglang, the large forests that stretch out. In fact, very few of them can reach the Twilight Garden, only a few are powerful, and most of them will encounter many enemies along the way, attacking and turning into snacks. ”

The airship followed the course, which deliberately avoided the territory that was inhabited by terrible lives that could threaten the safety of the airship, and to be honest, it was difficult to see any special life along the way. Those who can't fly, even if they are not obscured by the lush canopy of the forest's towering ancient trees, can't really be seen from the height of an airship. Valya has good eyesight as an elf, in fact, she can still see clearly, Deyulan is not good at the moment, and she needs to wait until it is stronger, at least some of the huge lives can still be seen clearly.

"Weine, look, mountain giant, mountain giant." It's not in the game, Deyulan still feels a little shocked when he sees those tall gray-white stone giants.

"Where, where?" Vernet stood on tiptoe.

"Be careful, don't climb the railing." Deyuran held out his hand, "There." ”

"Still can't see it." Vine said.

De Yulan adjusted slightly, the direction of his finger: "There." ”

Vernet finally saw it.

De Juran said, "Vene, Amelia, I tell you. Most mountain giants have friendly personalities, and as long as you don't attack them, they won't attack you. If you show kindness to it, it may also give you a cute little flower. However, in places where humans are crazy about mining ore, angry mountain giants will take the initiative to attack people...... Even an airship can throw rocks and pull up a tree and knock you down. ”

De Yulan remembered and added, "And those ancient trees, too, are about the same as the mountain giants. They are generally friendly, but in forests where humans are crazy about logging, they will also actively attack humans and throw stones...... Even in that case, the mountain giants and ancient trees will not actively attack the elves, only the forest elves. ”

"The High Elves are a bunch of bad guys." Here's where Valya complained.

De Yulan rubbed the little girl with wide-eyed curiosity about the baby's appearance, and looked down from the airship: "Speaking of the existence of airship routes, it is to avoid them, and there are also red-headed hydras that can breathe fireballs, dragon-headed giant beasts or something, in fact, the main thing is to avoid those flying flying dragons, griffins, double-headed eagles, fire-devouring vultures, etc., many times the dragons that can communicate are easier to do." ”

After watching it for a long time, I saw that in the afternoon, it was all about the same scenery, even Weine was bored, the freshness passed, and everyone gathered in the small cabin to play chess. Before it was finished, the sky gradually darkened, and seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Valya shouted for everyone to watch the sunset together, and watching the sunset on the airship felt completely different from usual.

It doesn't matter if you win or lose, in fact, you really don't know what the outcome will be until the end, so everyone decides to watch the sunset. Standing on the deck and looking into the distance, the sun is setting little by little, it feels really good, anyway, De Yulan thinks so. Dinner was eaten in the restaurant on the airship, the price was not cheap, but the taste was not very good. After dinner, everyone did not immediately go back to the room, but went back to the deck of the airship, leaned against the railing to blow the wind, and digested it.

The sky has darkened, the moon has risen, and the lights on the airship have also turned on, the light is actually not good, looking at the two people talking in the distance, I saw that they were wearing black uniforms and swords pinned to their waists, De Yulan called Valya softly, and motioned her to look that way: "Valya, look, look at that uniform, that is the black knight, the black knight of Liger." ”

"Do you still recognize the Black Knight?" Valya knew the Black Knight, she knew a little bit of everything.

"Of course I do," De Yulan snorted dissatisfied, confidently saying that there is anyone in the whole world who has more knowledge than us, "I know more." ”

"Are you sure it's the Black Knight?" Valya was a little incredulous, the Black Knight she had seen wasn't like that.

De Youlan was dissatisfied and said, "Am I a braggart?" ”

"I thinkβ€”" Valya said, "yes. ”

"You have to say yes."

"Why do you think they're here?" Valya said, "Black Knight, Black Knight. ”

"I don't know." "But that's for sure...... They wore uniforms, not civilian clothes, and then not armor, so they had some official duties, but they should be ordinary official duties. ”

Valya nodded, she felt that the inference was solid.

"What Black Knight?" Amelia listened and asked with some curiosity.

"Don't you know the Black Knight? It is a knightly order of Ligel, called the Black Knights. I usually wear ...... It's the uniform they wear now, with gold trim on a black background, and they change into black armor when they go out on battle...... The Black Knight's equipment, big swords, axes, guns, shields, and a set of Black Knights are all forged from molten iron, which is not ordinary magic equipment, powerful magic equipment. "De Youlan likes the Black Knight's set of equipment very much, and at the moment he can't get it at all, but he smacks his lips and envies.

Amelia nodded, I totally understood.

It's time for De Youlan again, and De Youlan asks, "Amelia...... Do you know the exact definition of magical equipment? ”

"I don't know."

"Magical equipment cannot be simply considered equipment with magical powers. The general metals copper and iron, even silver and gold, can only be said to be precious metals, or ordinary metals, as long as you find a vein, you can collect a large number of them. Magic iron, mythril, molten iron, silver and so on are very rare, even a piece of ore can be sold for a high price, with these ores can be used to build equipment, these metals not only have strength beyond ordinary metals, but also not easy to wear and tear and other characteristics, forged with these metals, even if there is no magic power, it is also called magic equipment. Cotton, linen, silk, etc. are sewn on ordinary clothes, and magic cloth, star cloth, and moon cloth are sewn on magical equipment...... A comprehensive and accurate definition of magical equipment, beyond the ordinary, extraordinary equipment is magical equipment. ”

"That weapon of yours should be smelted into magic steel, and the magic steel is forged, which is considered a relatively low-level magic equipment." De Juran said and looked at Amelia, the girl did not hold her crescent spear, he was sword anyway.

After explaining the definition of magical equipment, De Yulan looked at the two black knights again and said: "Black Knights, there are tens of millions of people in the entire Liguerre, and the number of the Black Knights in active service is a thousand, like a small country, as long as one knight regiment can destroy the country." The Black Knights, second only to the Flying Dragon Knights in Liguel. ”

You stand on the bridge and look at the view, and the people watching the view are watching you from upstairs. The bright moon decorates your windows, and you decorate other people's dreams. De Yulan looked at the two black knights not far away, he didn't notice that there were two people looking at them, judging by the dress, such as the scarf around the neck, they were noble sons.

"Those adventurers, do they really know what black knights, what wyvern knights?" One of them was hunched over, his right hand was on the railing of the deck, his left hand was propped up on it, his palm was supporting his side face, and he looked at De Youlan and the others laughed, "Hey, you know what? Really, it's the most interesting thing to listen to adventurers, and I don't know where to hear a word and say a long list. ”
