The boy who took the lead closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, and struggled forward to jump out of the hatch. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Roland grabbed his umbrella bag in time to make sure he was in a steady position to get out of the airship, and shouted: "Stretch your limbs, hold your breath, and open the umbrella after 10 seconds of countdown!" ”

Due to taking the "Feather Fall" potion in advance, he did not fall directly into a weightless state after breaking away from the airship, but fell smoothly and slowly at a speed of 10 yards per second, the boy adapted a little, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground, according to Roland's prompt to hold his breath for ten seconds, and then pulled the rope, "bang", the fluffy umbrella cover bloomed in the air, and the "Feather Fall" was canceled to ensure that the parachute was fully opened, and the canvas that made the umbrella surface was treated with special alchemy to emit an orange-red soft light, as if a lantern was fluttering in the evening wind.

With the first successful demonstrator, the young people on the airship had a bottom in their hearts, and jumped down one after another, the parachutes opened one after another, and the air lit up with orange fireflies.

Roland squinted his eyes in the wind and scanned all the skydivers through the twilight and clouds, remembering where they were so that they could be retrieved after landing.

The last passenger successfully opened the umbrella bag, and Roland closed the cabin door with confidence.

The airship descended slowly under Jennifer's control, and the clouds outside the porthole gradually disappeared, replaced by night and sparkling waves, and the faint sound of the waves could be heard.

Boom! The airship suddenly trembled violently, and Roland almost fell, but hurriedly clenched the handrail to stand firm.

Subsequent bumps followed, and the waves crashed against the portholes, making a heart-pounding roar.

At this time, Roland breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the airship had landed safely.

"Mr. Roland, shall I go out and reconnoiter the surrounding environment first?" Zehir asked.

Roland nodded, "It's okay to investigate, go and get back quickly." ”

The hatch had been submerged, and Zehir climbed to the top of the airship with the help of the gangway, pushing open a small skylight in the ceiling, and the damp sea breeze poured in with a faint fishy smell.

Zehir grabbed the window with both hands, jumped onto the top of the ship, and then performed a "wild transformation", turning into a giant eagle with golden eyes and black feathers, spreading its wings and soaring into the air, looking around the airship above the sea.

A moment later, Zehir landed on the airship and turned back into human form, leaned over the skylight and shouted, "There is good news and bad news!" ”

At this time, everyone who stayed on the boat gathered under the skylight, and Jennifer said angrily: "Brother, you are not verbose, when are you still in the mood to be amused, what is the situation outside!" ”

Zehir laughed dryly, "The good news is that we landed near the Mermaid Islands. ”

"Mermaid Islands...... Veronica's eyes lit up, "So there are a lot of mermaids around here?" ”

Jennifer couldn't help laughing: "First of all, mermaids may not be all beauties, it may also be Weiwuzi, and then the mermaid archipelago is a place name from the last era, when sailors passed through this sea area, they stumbled upon mermaids gathered on the reef to sing, so they casually marked such a place name on the navigation chart, in fact, the mermaid tribe is a nomadic tribe in the ocean, and now there are few mermaids near the archipelago, and there are several islands where humans settle. ”

"How far is it from Baigull Harbor and Giant Demon Island?" Roland asked Jennifer.

"The Mermaid Islands are about 600 nautical miles away from Baigull Harbor, and if the airship works normally, it will take less than half a day to fly back, and it is also more than 500 nautical miles away from the Giant Demon Island."

"So we're almost halfway between Baigull Harbor and Giant Demon Island, and considering that the Bagel Strait has been blocked, there are probably not many merchant ships passing through here, and the chance of encountering pirates is relatively great." Roland looked up at the skylight, "Is this the so-called bad news?" ”

"No, Mr. Roland, this is not bad news, the real misfortune is that our airship has washed up on a deserted island while landing, and half of its hull has fallen into the shallows, and it has run aground." Zehir replied with a wry smile.

Everyone gasped when they heard this. For large ships, grounding is more terrible than leakage, and the big guy weighing more than 100 tons is stuck in the mud and sand and can't move, unless the tugboat is invited to come to the rescue, there is nothing to be done!

"Master, now I can only count on your old man to repair the airship's levitation system as soon as possible." Jennifer said to Sukhoi.

The biggest difference between the "Dawn" and ordinary ships is the floating system, as long as it can float smoothly, even if it is only a few feet high, the grounding dilemma can be easily solved, and then everyone can push the "Dawn" into the sea even if it is pushed, after all, the biggest obstacle of "friction" no longer exists.

Sukhoi barely managed to squeeze out a smile: "I'll do my best." He knew how serious the damage to the floating system was, and it was by no means something that could be repaired in an instant.

"If we can't fix the floating system in a short period of time, we can ask for help from the nearest island." Zehir said.

"Is there an island nearby that offers tugboat service?" Roland asked.

"Of course," Zehir grinned, "I almost forgot to tell you, and the good news is that it's less than 300 nautical miles from Jennifer's and Jennifer's hometown, Eagle Island, which is in fact the largest island in the Mermaid Islands. ”

"That's good!" Roland secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Zehir, you immediately send a letter to Sir Adric asking for support, and please tell Sir not to spread the news that the 'Dawning' has been killed and stranded. ”

"No problem!" Zehir took out the communication stone and sent a letter to his father, asking him to send a tugboat to the rescue.

Roland helped Sukhoi climb onto the skylight, and then jumped out as well. Soon after, Jennifer, Lyudmila, Bloom, Viglaf, Nikita, Veronica, Eurome, and Antron also came out.

Everyone gathered on the smooth back of the airship and looked into the distance, in the night, the sea reflected the bright moon and sparkled waves, and a little orange-red light spot fluttered in the air, like a glowing dandelion, it was those students who parachuted, and it was very close to the sea.

The airship ran aground near a desolate island full of rocky rocks and a lack of life. Everyone was glad to see this scene, if Jennifer was careless when controlling the airship to make a forced landing, the "Aurora" would crash headlong on the reef and fall apart on the spot!

"Master Sukhoi, you and Antron and Eurome stayed on the airship, and the others went with me to rescue the parachuting students, and we must bring them back to the ship safely!" Roland said in a deep voice.

The accident of the airship can be concealed, but the loss of life cannot be hidden, which will deal a fatal blow to the reputation of the "Dawn" and even the airship company, and the stocks that Roland bought at a large price will also become waste paper, of course, we must do everything possible to avoid such consequences.
