Chapter 550: Skydiving
Woohoo!
The magic crystal cannon muzzle sprayed an arc, and the 2-pound fusiform armor-piercing bullet tore through the air one after another, wiping out an arc of fire, instantly hitting the siren warlock who was hiding behind the clouds thousands of yards away, and easily pierced through the "protective arrow barrier" as if tearing through the thin cardboard!
Parsacis had no idea that the "Dawn" was equipped with aerial guns, and he never dreamed that someone would be able to accurately hit him from such a distance, and when he was caught off guard, one arm was hit by a cannonball and exploded on the spot, exploding a large cloud of scarlet and dazzling blood mist in the air.

"Ahhhhh
The sirens were so frightened by the precise bombardment that they were almost incontinent, and they forced themselves to open the "arbitrary door" and fled into the distance, only for a terrible and mournful cry echoed in the air.
At the moment, there was only one thought in her mind: get away from that terrible airship as soon as possible, as soon as possible, and as far away as possible!
"Mira, well done!" In the airship, Roland leaned over and kissed his girlfriend on the face, and then turned back to announce the good news loudly to all the passengers: "If Parsacsis is not alive, at least he will not dare to harass us again until the sun sets, Jennifer, hurry up and prepare to land, we will spend an unforgettable night at sea!" ”
Excluding the hidden danger of Parsacis, the situation of the "Dawn" did not improve. The old man Sukhoi roughly checked the floating system, and the results were not optimistic.
"At least a quarter of the floating plates have been damaged to varying degrees, and they must be lowered as soon as possible to repair them, otherwise there is no guarantee that the airship will fall straight down like a meteorite."
"I said old man, you know that the floating structure of the airship is very fragile, and you still do what kind of 'maiden voyage', fooling a group of stupid students onto the ship to act as test subjects, isn't this a pit man!" The dwarf was so angry that his beard was shaking, and if it weren't for Roland's pull, he would have wanted to slam Sukhoi on the head.
Sukhoi scratched his head with a wry smile: "The airship's floating device is a complete set of complex system engineering, and the original choice of multiple original pieces of the embedded structure is mainly due to two aspects, one is to save costs, and the other is to facilitate maintenance and replacement, the price paid for this is that the system is relatively fragile, but according to my calculations, unless it encounters extremely bad weather, this system can ensure stable function, this time it is mainly damaged from the inside......"
"Master, how long will it take for us to repair the airship and set sail again after we land?" Roland asked.
"It's hard to say, after all, in addition to the floating system, there are also the balance rudder and steam-powered engine of the airship that need to be repaired, and it will take at least two days to repair."
"Since the strait was blocked by the Giant Demon Island, the number of merchant ships traveling to and from the North Bay has decreased sharply, but there are often pirate ships haunting, and the probability of encountering the latter is higher, even if the airship can land safely, during your maintenance, this run-of-power airship can only drift on the sea, isn't it very dangerous?" Zehir asked worriedly.
"In fact, the 'Aurora' does not necessarily have to rely on a steam engine to sail, when it was originally designed to save magic crystal energy, I installed a mast interface for the Aurora, if necessary, it can be installed with three masts to hang the sails, and change to sail power drive, I have not tested the speed, but I think it should not be lower than 20 knots." Sukhoi said confidently.
"Speed 20 knots...... The speed is comparable to that of most freighters, as long as you do a good job of reconnaissance and detect pirate ships in advance, it is not so easy for the other party to catch up. Roland groaned, and then made a decision: "Zehir, gather the passengers on board, I have something to say to them." ”
The young students soon gathered in the bridge hall, all with trepidation written on their faces, the flight was too exciting for them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our airship is lowering its flight altitude, due to the arrival of night, the weather is not good, the visibility is very poor, we can't accurately judge where the airship will land, whether it will touch the reef, for safety reasons, I suggest that you parachute at the latest when the airship descends to 500 yards from the sea surface, students who are not confident in their skydiving skills can take a bottle of 'Feather Fall Potion' in advance to ensure that there is enough time to adjust the center of gravity to open the umbrella bag, Ou Luomei, has the potion been sent down?"
"It's been distributed to everyone, Mr. Roland." The teenage priest replied.
"Very good, you don't have to worry after the parachute jump, no matter whether the airship can land smoothly or not, we will rescue you as soon as possible and ensure that you return to Baiou Harbor one by one."
"Mr. Roland, aren't you going to skydive?" Antron asked.
Roland shook his head and smiled: "My friend and I will stay, I believe that Jennifer can control the airship to land safely, even if there is any accident, we are sure to leave the airship before the danger comes, you can rest assured." ”
His words were calm and confident, causing a burst of amazement among the young students, who cast envious and adoring glances, which is the common mentality of ordinary people towards the transcendent.
"Mr. Roland, I also want to stay with you to stick to the airship," Antron plucked up his courage and said, "Although I am only a mage apprentice, the 'Feather Fall Technique' can still be used, and it may be helpful to you at a critical moment." ”
"Rookie, how many 'Feather Fall Techniques' have you prepared today?" Nikita suddenly asked the young level 3 mage.
"There are 5 of them," Antron scratched his head embarrassedly, "In order to prevent accidents, I used all the spell slots to memorize the 'Feather Fall Technique' before boarding the ship today. ”
The corners of Nikita's mouth twitched, I really don't know whether to praise this kid for his foresight or complain about his crow's mouth.
"Then stay, Orome can stay, and Antron can land with you if necessary."
Most of the students on the ship had participated in Jennifer's skydiving training camp, but skydiving on the cliff was different from the situation at the moment, the clouds were churning outside the porthole, as if there was a heavy lead lump pressing on their hearts, so they could only stubbornly carry their umbrella bags and walk to the cabin door to hold the handrails tightly.
Zehir double-checked everyone's gear to make sure there was nothing wrong with the umbrella bag, then turned and nodded to Roland.
"Hold on to the handrails!" Roland finally admonished, and then struggled to open the hatch!
The cold air flow from high altitude rushed to their faces, and everyone couldn't help but shiver, and then they felt the difference in pressure inside and outside the hatch, as if an invisible big hand was dragging them out of the door, and hurriedly grabbed the handrail on the bulkhead to resist gravity.
Roland turned around and made a gesture, and the boy at the front of the line trembled and moved forward, his face turning blue with fear.
Roland waited patiently for him to approach the hatch, reached out and pressed his back, and encouraged him in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, jump forward boldly!" (To be continued.) )
