The cargo ship sailed against the river towards Tinselwater. Viklico turned her hair back and now, in the dimming light, the Abbey of Rivindry looked like a giant beast sleeping in the darkness. It is no longer an academy full of laughter and laughter in memory, but a container overflowing with dead silence.

And the Tingsewatert, built upstream, still glows in the middle of the night.

After disembarking from the ship, Draenor realizes that the city "grows with the forest" is far more glorious than it first seems:

Houses are lined up in the forest; Huge prisms rise from the hillside, supporting the hanging gardens that pour out a sea of flowers like a waterfall; More houses are simply built in tree hollows and trunks, like giant squirrels or birds' nests.

"The canton of Van Serila is probably the oldest region in Vlactu."

Vicky walked in front and said as if talking to herself.

"At the beginning of the Holy Miracle, the Blood Sect discovered these mysterious structures as soon as they came here. They were built in the canyon, but they were still ruins that had been abandoned for many years, and some of the inhabitants chose to repair the ruins to live here, and they were the first to plant these trees. ”

And now, as its name suggests, the whole city of Tingsewater has been revived and grown along with the forest. Like giant pines and countless mistletoe.

"There's no way to find proper weapons and equipment in the city of Levendri, but it's okay here."

Vicky said as she walked into a blacksmith's shop.

The door that was pushed open scraped past the doorbell made a small cracking sound, and the young man who was squatting in front of the stove pointed his head to the door with a hammer without looking back.

"I'm sorry, but the goods are only sold to locals and people in the city of Le Windry, please come back."

"And where do you think I'm from?" Vicky said with a grin. The young man immediately turned around when he heard the familiar voice, and after frowning and seeing the other party's face clearly, he immediately got up and walked over.

"Vicky Ricco. Klose! You're back, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years since you graduated! The young man excitedly held out his hand to Viklico, and when he suddenly noticed his calloused and iron shavings, he shrank back slightly.

"Long time no see, Romenos, congratulations on hearing that you have joined the Union of the Best Artisans of Tingsewatert!" Vicky did not dislike the swarthy palm in the slightest, and she reached out to respond enthusiastically to the young man's handshake.

"Hey, hey... Thanks, actually still an intern now. Who is this?"

The young man named Romenos tilted his head to notice the tall man who had lowered his head to enter the door.

"Ah, this is ....."

"Personal bodyguards." Draenor scrambled to speak.

"Bodyguards? Haha, yes, I almost forgot who you are after so long, forgive me Miss Klose. Romenos said with some inferiority.

"Let's talk about it later, I'll come to you to get something." Vikily can walk over to the wall covered in armor.

"Need armor? Although these are not as good as the quality of the imperial capital, it is enough to prevent robbers and wild beasts. Romenos said,

"One hundred and twenty herbes, I'll get a tape measure to help you measure it..."

"No, not for us." Vicilico said, holding out five fingers to Romenos.

"The biggest, give us five pairs."

"Five!??" Draenor was about to stop Vickyly's crazy decision when she slapped her mouth.

"I'm sorry that he has just taken office and doesn't know the rules yet." Vicky can say.

"It's 1,600 herpecks minus fractions." She placed the purse on the store's board.

"Sixteen hundred! Do you want to do charity? Romenos was taken aback.

"On top of that, I'm going to buy a separate map of the northern outskirts of Hermanstadt, a little more detailed." Vicky said.

"Ah, I've got too many maps here, and I've been studying the geography of North Vlactu." said. Romenos pulled several barrel-filled scrolls from a drawer.

Vicili could open the scrolls one by one and carefully sift through the annotations one by one, but she never found what Balespin called "beaver burrows".

"Have you ever heard of a place called Beaver Cave?" Vicilico asked.

"Huh? What do you go there for! ”

But looking at Vickyly's unspeakable serious expression, Romenos had to sigh and point to a corner of the map.

"Well, it's not a cave at all, it's a gathering place for the refugees from Canaan, like a stockade. They are stationed here..... In the woodland at the foot of Mount Sinai, for some reason, they called this place the Beaver Cave. Whatever you're asking about this place for, please don't take me with you.... You can take the map as you like, I don't charge for it. ”

"Hmm..... Looks like you've found the right person. Draenor said.

"Okay, thank you for the message." Vickyli can take the map.

"By the way, I really liked the work you won at the graduation exhibition, do you still have it?" Vicky asks the youth as if she were in the past.

"My auger? Do you remember...," Romenos hurriedly walked behind Draenor and locked the door of the shop.

"I don't know what you're going to do with it, but I'm glad I still have it. Come with me first. ”

Romenos extinguished the blazing coal stove, lifted the kerosene lamp and pushed the two open the back door. There was only a stone road leading to the top of the hill at the back door, and the three of them walked along the dark and rugged mountain road for less than ten minutes before they saw a huge mill.

The two men followed Romenos and pushed open the door of the mill, and cotton wool dust filled the air. Through the faint light of the kerosene lamp, the two saw the mystery hidden in the mill:

The entire mill was almost hollow, surrounded by a few simple wooden workbenches and floors of metal parts, except for a mysterious utensil covered by a huge black linen.

"Although I promise that it will still work, I have never tried manned experiments, and I'm afraid I can't let you ....."

"You don't have to worry about that, and I paid for it, and this guy is mine now." Vicky replied with a smile.

"You're right.... Actually, I've always thought that it would be enough to sell it as a toy for about 500 herds at most, but if you're going to fly with it... I'll have to find a way to tell the Imperial City to keep you safe....."

"In that case, I'll spend six hundred histories for your armor, five hundred herpecks for your spiral, and the remaining five hundred for hush money."

Unable to think of a way to continue to refute Viklico, Romenos silently walked over to the device and ripped off the dust-proof linen cloth, revealing the true face of the device.

It was a huge wooden appliance like a gazebo, but it was not covered by a cover, but a four-tiered spiral roof that looked like a conch. At the junction between the pavilion and the ceiling is a huge bearing about fifty inches in diameter, with a furnace-like machine attached in the center.

"What is this?" Draenor was stunned by the strange, intricate behemoth in front of him.

"The auger, the flying apparatus that my old classmate Romenos exhibited at his graduation. What's its name.... Mercury?" Vicky can say.

"It was the first model, and I've been improving it ever since, and with more power to go up, it can fly higher, even closer to the sun." There was a hint of pride in Romenos's tone, "I call it: the Icarus." ”

The two of them boarded the Icarus, packed the armor they had bought in a leather bag, and tethered it to the side of the seat.

"The one below is the source of power, similar to a steam engine. Pour the diamond powder into the funnel on the side and light it with an igniter. Pulling the bellows will increase the firepower, and the spiral will slowly rise into the air; Pedaling gently when you need to make an emergency descent, be sure to be light! It is easy to lose your balance if you step too fast suddenly. Romenos lit the engine and carefully explained to Viklico the principles of flight.

"What if something happens?" Draenor asked.

"Take this with you." Romenos took out two backpacks from the cabinet,

"It's a big umbrella tied with a rope, and if you encounter a situation, you can tie it to your body and jump down, at least it won't fall too fast."

"Do you have more?" Vicky asked.

"Yes, there are three left, just in case they are all for you." Romenos tied the other three umbrella bags to the edge of his seat.

"By the way, you should take back the extra 1,000 yuan, I won't need this machine anymore." Romenos handed the money bag to Viklico.

Vicky glanced at the purse and a wicked smile appeared on her face, and she quickly pulled the bellows, and the aircraft lifted the two of them out of the open-air mill into the air with great power.

"Have confidence in yourself, and that money will be my first investment in your research and development!"

With a wave of his hand, the Icarus spun its massive spiral canopy and lifted the two of them into the air.
