The world under the clouds.

Eventually, Joe found a room—the village chief's storeroom.

I can barely put down two people's bunks here. There were still two merchants' local guards living here, and Jo gave them the only two pieces of silver he had left, and they were finally willing to make room for them. Spend the night in a safe village in exchange for that money...... It's still a fair deal.

Jo tells the girl and Dimi to find someone to talk to and leaves.

"This ...... Is it reliable? Dimi couldn't help but say.

"Restoring connectivity to the cloud is our best chance yet." The girl whispered. She was also sick and rushed to the doctor.

Dimi lifted the tail of a rat and threw it out. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the girl—fortunately, she wasn't angry.

In fact, the girl is just trying to endure herself. The cramped, dilapidated warehouses weren't ideal for a place to stay, and she even thought she might as well live in a tent outside......

It was only because they thought that they might have to meet with someone who could speak the lingua franca next, and the girl felt that it was the right choice to be a little more secretive.

……

To the surprise of the two, in less than ten minutes, the door to the warehouse opened.

A woman with black hair and black eyes in a short black robe walked in. Jo followed behind her, and soon realized that it would be too crowded if she squeezed in herself.

So he said a few flattering words and withdrew.

Only the "female translator" invited by Maiden, Dimi and Joe was left in the room. Like the merchants, she had no patches on her clothes.

The girl and Dimi did not speak. They waited quietly for each other to speak first.

The woman bowed to the two.

"The presence of the two distinguished guests is really brilliant. There is no way to entertain, and please forgive me. As soon as the woman opened her mouth, she was fluent in the lingua franca of Seerland, and at last the big stone in the hearts of the girl and Dimi fell to the ground.

The girl thought for a moment.

"You seem to know at a glance that we are the real heavenly people," the girl said tentatively, "aren't you afraid that Joe is mistaken?" “

"Pirates don't have a scheming of disguise," the woman shook her head, "and you two have extraordinary temperaments, how can you be ordinary pirates?" ”

"Too many compliments are meaningless." The girl shook her head.

"You were born in this land, right?" Compared with the girl who was hesitating to speak in her heart about assessing the relationship between this person and the city of Palamedes, Dimi chose to ask directly at the moment, "Where did you learn from...... This language? ”

"It is my privilege to study the words of the heavenly men," the woman replied without humility or arrogance, "and it is all God's arrangement. ”

"You're a nun." Dimi said.

The woman nodded.

The girl blinked. She really called them "heavenly people......

"Are the people who taught you this language also heavenly people?" Dimi asked.

"I follow the learning of teachers from the upper realms." The nun replied.

Dimi wanted to correct her a little, the cloud world was not the upper realm, but he thought about it and finally didn't say anything.

There are some misunderstandings, so it's better not to correct them for the time being.

"IMHO, it looks ...... here "There is some poverty," the girl considered her words, she thought that most of the nun's teachers belonged to the city of Palamedes, but she could not avoid the possibility that other forces had contact with the clouds, "where are you ......?" ”

The nun looked surprised.

"I beg your pardon for my presumptuousness," she whispered, "but you two are different from any heavenly man I have ever met. They ......"

"Let me think about it. You learned the heavenly language in a lord's court. Before us, every time you met with a heavenly man, it was at the court, or in a more affluent place. The girl said.

The girl tries to put herself in the role of the Lord of the Black. Judging from Joe's reaction, the "heavenly man" who came to this world would ask for tribute. If it is really the food output of the world under the clouds that supports the Black Floating City, then whether it is "trading" or "blackmail", the Lord of the Black will obviously find a ruler who has the right to speak, and then establish a long-term cooperative relationship.

Only in this way will there be indigenous people who learn the language on the cloud.

"Exactly," the nun could not hide her amazement, "aren't they from ......?"

"We have lost our way," Dimi said calmly, "and are now looking for our compatriots." I believe that what you say is not false, but can you tell me: where can we find them? ”

"I have never seen any heavenly man on this island other than you......" the nun seemed distressed.

"You learned the language on another island, right?" The girl said gently.

"It's a long way from here to Zwick Island," said the nun hesitantly, "and the sea is dangerous, so even if you arrive safely, ask to see ......."

"Just tell us how to get there." The girl said.

"By the way, tell us," Dimi also asked, "which lord rules the place where we are?" ”

Perhaps the lack of information would arouse the nun's suspicions, but Dimi and the maiden believed that the nun would not be able to make up a lie that would justify her in a short period of time.

They would have liked to ask, "Hey, tell me, there are a few countries and islands here, and there are some big guys on them", but in this case, I am afraid that the nun will not only be simply suspicious, but worried about whether these two people are some "defectors from heaven".

After all, the real world is not a game, and you can't directly open the map, "This world is called Azeroth, a continent to the east is the Eastern Kingdom, and a continent to the west is called Kalimdor".

It's like asking an earthling directly "how many countries are there in this world" will definitely be taken off as a fool or an alien. Although for the people in the world under the clouds, the heavenly people are almost the same as aliens......

……

Despite the stumbling process, the girl and Dimi finally got the information they wanted.

As the girl guessed, the world under the clouds is a fragmented country of a thousand islands. There are seven large islands mentioned by the nuns alone, and there are countless small islands scattered around.

"The Heavenly Men usually only come to Zwick Island, and the court of Zwick Island is even more honorable Lord Palamedes......"

The nun paused, for she read the obvious joy on the girl's face.

“…… Did I say anything? "The nun looked strange.

"Nothing," Dimi said, secretly remembering the new name, "please continue." ”

After confirming that the forces behind the nuns were indeed connected to the city of Palamedes, the rest was much simpler.

The nun also sensed that after the name "Palamedes" was spoken, the questions asked by the two men were visibly much more urgent.

……

"......I see," Dimi frowned.

He understood what the nun meant.

The supreme leader of the heavenly people, Dimi thought it was the Lord of the Black himself, had personally descended on the court of Zwick and had a special person there.

Other words......

The Lord of the Black has a station in that place called "Zwick Island".

As long as the two of them go to the court of Zwick Island, they will have a chance to connect with Mr. Palamedes' people, and they will have a way to return to the cloud world.

This is the best news that Dimi has heard when he fell into the sea of clouds.

However......

"Good news is always accompanied by bad news." The girl muttered to herself.

"To cross the sea...... Dimi, who had never sailed on the sea, frowned.

Among the many islands, except for the king of Zwick Island, who fully supports the heavenly people and is the backing of the city of Palamedes in the cloud world, the attitude towards the "heavenly people" in other regions is very complicated.

Like the inhabitants of the "North Island", there are no less than dozens of various ship groups and pirate groups, some of which are secretly hired by the heavenly people, and some are enemies of them.

And on the "Luo Island" that the lord has seized - that is, the island where the girl and Dimi are now - most of the lords hate the visitors from the sky very much.

The city of Palamedes has little power here.

The fortunate thing for the girl and Dimi is that not only Zwick Island, but also the island below the clouds is full of inhabitants who do not understand the situation, and worship the heavenly people as messengers of God. And the "heavenly people" also pushed the boat and sent several messengers like nuns to secretly develop their influence.

But it is the nuns who are connected to the inhabitants of the cloud world who know that the heavenly people are not angels. But even so, for her, the heavenly people are nobles who are closer to the gods.

Since they have regarded the cloud world as the upper realm, it is good to be wrong...... The girl thought that the Lord of the Black must have thought so.

Dimi is still somewhat embarrassed that he is regarded as a fairy, but the girl has no psychological burden.

But no matter what kind of treatment the heavenly people have in the territory of their allies - the girl estimates that when the Lord of Black regards jumping off the sea of clouds as an escape path, she will not even be able to figure out the position, and this error is eighty percent because when she fell from the sea of clouds, she and Dimi only have half a bracelet - the girl and Dimi both fell directly into the base camp of the "anti-heavenly forces" in the cloud world......

"Is there a map?" Dimi asked.

"If we can get to the city, maybe ......" the nun grimaced.

"You go out first......" the girl waved her hand.

Even if she prides herself on being resourceful, she can't think of a foolproof solution at the moment.
