Chapter I: Voting

() December 15, 1686

The war on the continent continued to heat up, and a civil war broke out inexplicably in the Xiluo Fei Kingdom in the north of the Brilliant Continent, and several lords in the north of the ruling kingdom gathered their armies to attack each other like crazy, and the royal family was furious, and hurriedly mobilized the royal team to suppress it--this was 8 months after the snowy Federation blockade border pass north of the Boundary Mountain Range

The mutation of the Xiluofei Kingdom marked that 10 of the twelve great powers of the Holy Light Sect had been involved in the war, and the only ones that were not affected by the war were the Rokal Empire in the north of the Star River Continent and the Shalilan Kingdom in the Morun Continent

In addition to the human nation, the dark elves of the underworld and the orc kingdom of the shamannian plains have all been baptized by war

Half a month to go, the Age of Light ended in 1686, and no one could explain why the world of Olopa was so turbulent in that year

However, no one could have imagined that the year 1686 was just the beginning......

A remote mountainous area in the southern part of the Kingdom of West Lotho on the border with the Republic of Monis

This place is called Kulan Mountain, is a place where snakes and chickens frequently haunt snakes, chickens, and beasts, also known as Cool Carses, is a kind of earth-attribute monsters, although this kind of monsters have wings, but can not fly, fast and agile, use their beaks and claws to attack snakes, chickens and beasts are ferocious carnivorous monsters, when attacking prey, their mouths will spit like a poisonous snake-like sharp spit letter, this kind of spit letter has a special poison, once stabbed in the body, highly poisonous into the body, if not discharged in time, the poison will start to petrify from the muscles of the wound, and after ten hours, the living person will become a lifeless stone statue, snake, chicken beast is extremely ferocious, will take the initiative to attack humans, even between the same kind, they will often attack each other because of the competition for matesUntil one of them dies

Due to the danger of snakes, chickens, and beasts, the Coolan Mountains are usually inaccessible to people, and even to the south is the mercantile country of Monis, but the commercial exchanges between the two countries are usually by sea, and few people venture through the Coolan Mountains, which is why this place is an excellent place to park airships

Everyone was bored and waited in the airship, and yesterday evening the Gagarin suddenly broke down, and Cassius had to make a forced landing, and now Cassius and Ischenova are rushing to repair it

Isn't it okay, I'm about to starve to death, Lei Da, who was sitting in the restaurant, shouted

Soon, a middle-aged man's voice came from the kitchen

Who would have thought that the person cooking in the kitchen at this time was actually Leonard Green, one of the four generals of the dignified Restoration, and the deputy head of the Lion Mercenary Regiment

Although everyone except Sophia and the unwitting Dani were extremely unhappy with Leonard's joining, one of Leonard's talents during their journey together was quickly accepted by Leonard

No one would believe that the powerful knight of the throne could put on an apron and pick up a kitchen knife and a spatula after taking off his armor and weapons, and Leonard's cooking skills were breathtaking, although cooking was only his hobby, but this hobby was enough to make many famous expert chefs of Olopa ashamed of themselves, and the food made by his hands was no longer enough to describe it as delicious, and everyone who ate it was touched to a mess

The preservation of these delicacies added a lot of interest to the originally boring journey, and Cassius, who was known for being a foodie, was the happiest, and he even forgot about the damage caused by Leonard to Ishnova, and every day he asked Leonard to open him an extra small stove, and the nucleus between Leonard and everyone gradually disappeared

Even Joika, who has the deepest grudge against him, is no exception, at first Joika refuses to eat Leonard's food for fear of possible poisoning, but when she sees that everyone is intoxicated by these delicacies, Joika finally can't help but secretly taste a small bite driven by curiosity......

Well, Leonard came out of the kitchen with two plates, and the aroma of the steaming delicious food on the plates made everyone who had been waiting in the restaurant swallow for a long time, but what they saw afterwards made everyone lose their appetite immediately

Cassius was following closely behind Leonard, holding a plate of beef in one hand and reaching into the plate with the other, grabbing a piece of beef, stuffing it into his chubby mouth, gobbling it up, putting his fingers in his mouth and sucking it a few times, and then putting his grease-stained hand into the plate and grabbing another piece of beef

Fat man, aren't you guys repairing airships, how did you sneak into the kitchen, and Joyka was furious

&%#&@#$@@θƒ–ζ³•εΈˆε‘žζ»‘η‰›θ‚‰ηš„ε˜΄ι‡Œεε‡Ίζ²‘δΊΊε¬ζ‡‚ηš„ε€–ζ˜Ÿθ―­θ¨€

No need to ask, it must be stealing food under the pretext of helping to serve food, and it is like this every day, and Lyle glanced at it with disdain

It's disgusting, Dani also puffed up and said, "Who would dare to eat you like this."

It is...... Even Sophia, who has always disliked sarcasm, couldn't help complaining

It's okay, I'll make another disc, Leonard laughed

banzai

The restaurant was filled with laughter

Everyone sat around the table and waited like devout believers for Leonard to bring out the last dish, and the battle for food that was played out every day in the restaurant began......

Plenty of food and drink, everyone clutched their stomachs and was reluctant to leave their seats, and if the journey continued for another month, everyone would probably become like Cassius

Hey, Fat Joyka asked Cassius, who was sitting across from him, blocked by a tall pile of tired saucers, to get down to business, when the Gagarin would be repaired

What the...... Cassius pushed away the pile of saucers and asked indifferently, did you just talk to me?

Looking at Cassius's dazed, absent-minded appearance, it was obvious that he was still indulging in the food just now, and Joyka was angry

Let me explain this, Ischenova gently took over the topic, and after repeated checks with Cassius, the "Gagarin" did not actually have a fault, and the problem appeared in the energy source

Energy Lyle asked, "My sister, are you saying there's a problem with the Magic Reservoir Stone?"

Yes, our remaining Reservoir Stones are no longer able to provide magical energy for the Floatship to continue flying

Wait, what are the magic storage stones you are talking about?

The Reservoir Stone, which is used to store the magical energy of the mage and power the spaceship instead of the mage himself, is the kind of red stone that is stacked in the bilge of the ship, Ishnova explained

Oh, it's the Magic Stone, the Magic Stone, that's when Cassius came to his senses from the food

Everyone ignored him

But yesterday I saw that there were still a lot of magic storage stones, Sophia asked

Yes, there are many more, but most of them are no longer available, Ishinova said

Why Joyka asked

Because the 'Gagarin' had been soaked in water for too long, due to water seepage, the storage stones stacked on the bottom layer had failed, and only the surface ones could still be used, Ishnova explained

Hearing what Ischenova said, everyone turned their eyes to Leonard Green, and the knight lowered his head in embarrassment, he understood that these were all the troubles he had broken through that day

The Magic Stone is just a prop for storing energy for the magician, realize that the energy comes from the magician himself, isn't this the case, seeing this, Sophia hurriedly opened the topic to help Leonard solve the siege

Theoretically, yes, Ischenova nodded

Does that mean that as long as there is a mage to provide energy, the airship can fly?

That's right

Aren't Cassius and Lyle also magicians, just let the two of them provide magical energy, Sophia proposed to use my magic if it is not enough

No, Cassius finally returned to his normal state, such a huge floating ship requires at least 8 magicians to provide magical energy at the same time to take off, and it can last for a day at most;

Then what are you waiting for, let's hurry up and find an alchemy shop in the nearest city to buy a magic stone

Ishnova, who didn't work, said that the Magic Stone was a strategic item, and even if it was made in the Snowy Federation, the method of making it was a state secret and could only be produced by alchemists in the service of the army

So what can we do, Lei said we can't do it here

Everyone fell silent

Why do you have to fly over Believe that your feet can't do it, Joyka slapped the table and stood up

Do you mean how to go by land, didn't you mean that the snowy federation has blocked the checkpoint, sophia asked

It's the Valley of Sin that isn't blocked by the Federation, but there's one place they can't be completely blocked, Cassius said

Brother, are you talking about the Silver Wind Taiga, Lei remembered that he followed Reguno through the Silver Wind Taiga and left the Federation that day

Well, Cassius nodded

What do you mean...... Let's leave such a large ship here, and then walk east, first through the Kingdom of Loma, then north through the Plain of Sylasia, and then enter the Snowy Federation, isn't that a big circle, after years of training with William, Dani knows the map of Olopa and the geographical location of each country, she has to be surprised by such a long journey

I'm against Lyle jumping up dead fat man, do you want to exhaust me

I also objected to Leonard, who had been silent, finally spoke, the Kingdom of Loma is at war with the Fayele Empire, and the Plain of Slavia is a dangerous barbarian territory, Your Highness Princess, you can't take this risk

Seeing you again, hearing Leonard call himself Princess again, Sophia gave him a rather disgruntled look

Otherwise, let's have a public vote, the agreed cup is up, and vice versa, Joyka puts her tall red wine glass in the middle of the table in the normal posture of the glass mouth up, I'll come first, go to the Snowy Federation through the Loma Kingdom and the Silver Wind Taiga, and the Federation is my suggestion, so I naturally voted in favor

I didn't agree with the princess taking the risk, and Leonard put the glass in the middle of the table

I personally don't think it matters, Sophia voted yes with her glass of wine

Ray and Cassius also set their glasses in approval

As soon as Lyle saw this trend, he immediately snapped his glass back in the center of the table

At this time, only Ischenova and Dani had not yet voted

My sister also voted against it, and Lyle quickly grabbed Ishnova's glass and was about to slam it back on the table

No, no one has the right to vote for me, even my own brother Ischenova hurriedly grabbed Lyle's clothes

Ishinnova, you can't go to such a dangerous place, Lyle is in a hurry

Ishennova said very firmly that we have been to such dangerous places as the Elven Forest and the Underworld, and now it's just a matter of going home, and you're afraid of being like this

Lyle's face flushed with his sister's words, but he couldn't think of anything to fight back, so Ishnova's glass was placed in the center of the table

Dani, who had been raising her glass, saw that she was the only one left who had not yet voted, so she immediately threw herself on the side of the large number of people

Six-on-two, there should be no objection, Joyka said

Although I still don't want the princess to take the risk, I respect the result of this vote, Leonard said graciously

And Lyle simply didn't speak, since he left the Snowy Federation, he had a feeling that he had been led by the nose, although he wanted to change this state, but also understood that he couldn't do anything, this more than half a year of experience had already worn out his young master's temper

Well, since we've decided on a new journey, when are we going to go, Joyka asked

It's better to say Ray who is anxious now

I think we need to solve a big problem before we do that, and Sophia went to the glass string window and looked at the dozens of snakes, chickens, and beasts gathered around the Gagarin.
