Roland put the sword scroll in his storage bag, thanked Prince Carol first, and then told him about his next itinerary.

"The situation in the Gobi region is unstable, and I plan to take an airship to inspect the area early tomorrow morning and solve small problems before they turn into big troubles."

Carroll agrees with the need to prevent problems before they happen, but also reminds Roland of the special geographical relationship of the frontier region.

"The Far Eastern Gobi Territory is not far from the Canaan border fortress 'Medesya', and the Pegasus Sentinels of the Canaan Border Guards often patrol the skies over the Gobi, if there is a war in the Border Region, it may cause an overreaction of the Canaan Border Guards, you should be more careful, and it is best to prepare in advance."

Roland heard the meaning of His Excellency the Sword Saint's words, and nodded solemnly: "I will be careful, and the overall situation is the most important thing in case of trouble." ”

Bidding farewell to Prince Carroll, Roland returned to his residence, summoned his entourage to explain the schedule of temporary changes, and went to bed after packing his luggage a little.

After breakfast the next day, Mr. and Mrs. Vlad came to the airport to see him off. Veronica's ghost plan came true, and Lady Theodora not only agreed to follow Roland to the southern frontier, but also appointed four attendants to accompany her to protect her daughter, including "Soul Suppressor" Yurik, "Moon Ninja" Tita, "Meteor Knight" Marcus, and Veronica's good friend, the 11th-level Vijess priest Yudothea, nicknamed "Little Pig Girl".

In addition to the four elites of the younger generation of Parnia, Prince Carol also put his own personal guard under the command of his daughter.

Although the guard, codenamed "Redstone", only has two hundred people, they are all selected from the elite of the Parnia royal army, half of them are the Vijes Holy Guard, and half are the Parnia Ninja. Marcus and Tita are from the "Redstone Guard", and this time they traveled with Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the two were in charge of the knight detachment and the ninja detachment respectively.

Veronica hugged her parents goodbye and led her entourage to follow Roland aboard the airship. The Dawn slowly lifted off and flew to the northeast of the Gobi Territory under the watchful eye of the Vlads.

……

On November 19, 1621, much of the Far East was already feeling the breath of winter, with heavy snow falling north of the Cassoo Plateau, and two thousand miles away in the Gobi Territory in the south, a scorching sun hung high in the sky, casting the scorching sun into the desert and scorching the sand everywhere.

The suffocating hot wind whistled and swept the dust with it, revealing the bones buried under the yellow sand, and as the sun set to the west, the night slowly fell, and the pale bones glowed with blue phosphorus fire.

At dusk, a silver-gray airship streaked across the sky, as if following the trail of the sunset.

At 5:10 p.m., the military airship "Dawn", which is part of the "census office" of the Far East, was sailing towards its intended destination.

In the cockpit, Lyudmila sat in the assistant's seat, writing letters, and beside her was Tonya piloting the airship. Miss Druid used to stay away from complex mechanisms, but since boarding the airship, she has been repeatedly encouraged by Jennifer and Lyudmila to try to learn how to pilot, and unexpectedly found that she is quite talented in this area. After Jennifer was transferred from the "Dawn", Lyudmila took over the captaincy and chief engineer, and Tonya initially served as her assistant pilot, and later Lyudmila saw that her piloting skills had been honed very well, so she simply put her at the helm, and she freed up her hands to write a letter to Roland, who was visiting Parnia, to report what she had seen during her trip to southern Xinjiang.

With two chairs side by side behind the driver's seat, Lyudmila's two sisters, Eleanor and Jacqueline, listened intently as Tonya explained the art of piloting an airship.

Both young rangers were proud disciples of Mrs. Evgenia, who had been assisting teachers with paperwork at the Ministry of Commerce, and after the establishment of the census office, Lyudmila took on the role of the head of an important government department for the first time, and the pressure and motivation kept her busy from morning to night.

Seeing that her daughter was so busy, and that she often took an airship on a business trip to a place where the people were harsh, and the work was not only busy but also risky, she assigned her two right-hand men to the census project team to share the pressure for her baby daughter.

Jacqueline and Eleanor are both high-level rangers, tired of the boring errands of the Cabinet Office, and wish for a new environment, following Lyudmila to the remote mountains to do census work is considered a chore in the eyes of others, but the two female rangers who are used to running in the mountains and forests enjoy it, and finally find a chance to let themselves go.

The Dawn is the "hotel in the sky" for the census team, and Jacqueline and Eleanor are fresh to everything on the airship, influenced by Jennifer and Lyudmila, and also interested in piloting the massive giant whale in the air. Later, Jennifer was transferred to the "Holy Transformation" as the captain, and before leaving, she specially told Jacqueline and Eleanor to master the skills of piloting the airship as soon as possible, so that when the census was over, they could apply to Mrs. Yevgenia for transfer to the Air Force, and they would not have to huddle in a cramped office all day to deal with the official articles and data reports that gave them headaches.

The Far Eastern Air Force is in the midst of a period of rapid expansion, and next spring at least two brand-new "Shenghua"-class airships will enter service, and they are short of pilots. The two female rangers are very yearning for a military career in piloting an airship and soaring into the sky, keeping in mind Jennifer's advice, all their leisure time is spent learning to drive an airship.

A red beam of light suddenly appeared out of thin air, hanging in front of Lyudmila and trembling slightly. The female ranger puts down her pen and reaches out to hold the ball of light to read the magic text message.

"It was sent by Roland?" Tonya cast an expectant look.

"I disappointed you, it was from Aurora."

Lyudmila's answer made Miss Druid's cheeks burn inexplicably, and she retorted in a low voice, "What do I have to be disappointed in?" Then he got back to business, "What's new with Aurora?" ”

"Mr. Joseph Davidovich was put in a cell by Baron Hurd, and it took a great deal of effort for Aurora to get him out, and after escaping his pursuers, he intends to go to Sweetwater, which will be a day later than we are, if nothing else." Lyudmila recalled the contents of Aurora's letter, and continued, "There is another piece of information, which Aurora has verified with Mr. Joseph, that the halfling Thorin who pretended to be dead is indeed a spy he sent to the undercover slave trapping team, and we can trust this person. ”
