Chapter 299: A Roar from the Sky
"Snow Lion King, that's the monster that inhabits the Ilufa Snow Mountain...... Meow. "When I think of the towering Ilufa Snow Mountain, and the cold and cold of the icy and snowy terrain above...... Wenlong felt a little numb in his scalp.
As far as Wenlong is concerned, because he has mastered the heat and cold resistance of Ailu cat, there is no big problem, but Wenlong is a little worried when he thinks of the fact that Catherine caught a cold because she couldn't stand the cold when she was still in the hustle and bustle.
"I don't know if the stupid woman can stand the cold up there, but the Ilufa Snow Mountain is much colder than the top of the noisy mountains, and there are frequent avalanches...... If you're not careful, you'll probably lose your life, meow......"
"Why don't I do it alone...... Anyway, it's my own business......" Just as Wenlong was thinking this, a loud noise suddenly came from outside.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
"What's that sound, meow?" Wen Long left the room, then walked to the balcony of the villa and looked outside, only to see a huge black shadow in the sky blocking the sunlight.
"Wyvern? Oh, no, it's an airship...... Meow. After a closer look, Wen Long noticed that it was a huge airship flying in the sky, the airship relied on the lift brought by a large hot air balloon, and the huge rumbling sound was made by several large propellers as the driving device.
The loud noise not only attracted Wen Long's attention, but soon even Catherine and Begonia also came over, and they looked up at the huge airship like Wen Long, and they couldn't help but let out a sound of admiration.
"Wow...... It's amazing...... What a big airship...... How many people can fit in the same airship? Catherine asked curiously.
"It's probably no problem to sit on a hundred or so people......" Wen Long stroked his beard, and then estimated.
"Mr. Cat. Where the hell is this airship? Why haven't you seen it before? Begonia also asked.
"Probably from the Hunters' Guild......" Wen Long looked at the direction of the airship's flight. Extrapolated from the trajectory of the voyage. Wen Long deduced that the airship must have flown from the direction of the Hunters' Guild in Mejepoltan.
"Hunter's Guild...... Ah, by the way, I think I heard about it some time ago......" Catherine seemed to suddenly remember something.
"That's right, that's what happened at that time......," Wenlong said, "When we came to Mejepoltan for the second time with Uncle Hessen, we happened to encounter a big price increase in the price of various monster materials, so the monster materials we shipped from Millard Village at that time were also sold for a good price." And the reason is said to be because at that time, the Hunters' Guild was buying a large number of materials from various monsters, especially bird and dragon monsters, to make airships...... Meow. ”
"Ahh Begonia also remembers this incident...... "Begonia also suddenly realized."
After Wenlong's reminder, Catherine and Begonia noticed that this airship was indeed made of a large number of monster materials. The material of the ornithosaurus species is most used because of its lightweight and sturdy characteristics.
For example, the skeleton of the blue monster bird is used to make the stand of the airship, and the spine of the male fire dragon, known as the king of the sky, is used to make the keel of the airship...... There are also several large hot air balloons that provide buoyancy for the entire airship, and they are sewn with the tough and elastic rubber skin of the poisonous monster bird!
Such an airship that uses a lot of monster materials is naturally much stronger than ordinary airships, but correspondingly, it is much more difficult to make.
"I just didn't expect this airship to be built so quickly...... It seems that although Chairman Roden usually looks old-fashioned and unserious, he is really vigorous in getting things done...... Meow. Wen Long sighed again.
"But it should cost a lot of money to build such an airship, right?" Begonia asked.
"Of course...... Regardless of the labor cost at the time of production, it is enough to deduce its value just by using so many high-level monster materials, so it seems that it is understandable that you usually complete the tasks of the Hunter Guild but only get a small bounty...... It turns out that the Hunter Guild's money is spent on this kind of place...... Meow. ”
"Huh...... I see......" Begonia nodded enviously.
Wenlong, Catherine and Begonia watched for a while. As the airship faded away, the sound of the airship's propellers began to diminish as well. Until the end, the entire airship disappeared into the distant sky.
"Whew...... It feels so powerful...... I didn't expect the Hunters' Guild to be able to create something like this...... I don't know if we'll have a chance to sit on it in the future......" Catherine looked at the distant sky, obviously still a little unsatisfied.
"There's definitely a chance...... After all, this thing is not for fun, and if it weren't for the urgency of the situation right now, probably that President Roden wouldn't have spent a lot of money on this, meow. ”
"Huh? Mr. Cat, are you saying that this big airship is also used for hunting? Catherine asked again.
"Of course...... With an airship, it's definitely much faster than taking a boat, and it's much less affected by the terrain. "If a monster threat is found somewhere, the hunters will be able to take an airship to their destination immediately, and judging from the size of the airship, the number of people on board is much larger than that of a normal hot air balloon, so there is no problem even if it is a large-scale monster riot." In addition, the use of various high-level monster materials,This airship is much stronger than the average hot air balloon,Even in bad weather, it can ensure its safety.,Of course, it's the best choice for dispatching in an emergency.,Meow! ”
"I see...... It seems that when the airship is dispatched, it is when there are dangerous monsters...... It's just that I don't know where the monster is messing around this time, I hope no one will be hurt......" Hearing Wen Long's explanation, Catherine became a little worried again.
"Don't worry, this time today shouldn't be a hunting mission, it's probably just an ordinary test flight, meow." Wenlong said.
"Huh? Mr. Cat, how do you know that this is just a test flight? Catherine was surprised.
"You just heard it, the propellers of a large airship like this are so loud that if they take off, the whole city will be able to hear the roar of their propellers, and it will be impossible not to be detected...... And this is the first time we have heard such a voice, which is enough to prove that this should be the first flight of this airship...... Meow. ”
After a pause, Wen Long said, "There is no airship that has just been built and is directly put into the mission without going through a test flight...... So since this is the first flight of this airship, it can basically be judged that this time it should just be a test flight to test performance, meow. (To be continued.) )
