Chapter Seventy-Four: The Celestial Bird Ship
Wanyang Airport - one of the busiest airports in the Junlong Federal Airlift, large regular spacecraft depart from here, the routes are crisscrossed, all over the world, it stands to reason that Wanyang Airport also has a route to Glaze Island City in the Principality of Walken, but since the poison gas incident on Glaze Island five years ago, Glaze Island flights have been forced to cancel, and the Vulcan government has announced that it will blockade the entire Glaze Island, except for its own investigators, outsiders are not allowed to land on the island.
It was even more impossible to get to Glaze Island by boat, and not long after that, the Duchy of Vulcan sent a number of maritime surveillance ships equipped with artillery to regularly patrol the waters of Glaze Island, and had unlimited fire rights on foreign ships that did not listen to the dissuasion of trespassing on Glaze Island. As soon as this measure was promulgated, it was opposed by all countries in the world, and the Junlong Federation even threatened economic sanctions to protect its overseas trade, but the Duchy of Walken still promulgated a law that imposed heavy taxes on foreign merchant ships and strictly investigated, completely tearing up the skin of the former ally Junlong Federation.
It is rumored that the reason why the Duchy of Walken sealed Glaze Island so tightly is actually a thief, and there must be some unknown secrets behind the death of unknown poison gas.
Ling Wenxuan remembered that Mu Bingyue had told him that there were two purposes for going to Glaze Island this time: one was to find the artifact Staff of Destiny, and the other was to uncover the true cause of the death and poison gas incident for the Holy See that caused the death of 200,000 residents of Glaze Island City. The Holy See is subordinate to the Monarchy Federal Government, which means that they are actually working for the national government.
Those nuns were too innocent to understand the stakes, and if they were discovered by the Principality of Vulken's maritime surveillance ships, they would be handed over to the Principality of Vulken's court for judgment, and the worst would be killed on the spot by the Maritime Supervisors. This was the real reason why Ling Wenxuan didn't want the nuns in the class to come with him, even when he arrived at Wanyang Airport, he didn't change this idea.
The only way to get to Glaze Island is to take a private spaceship, and in addition to docking a variety of large regular spaceships, Wanyang Airport also provides a runway for the city's wealthy to park their private spacecraft, and the wealthy can obtain a storage space for their private spacecraft by going through the corresponding procedures, which makes it very convenient for them to go anywhere.
Ling Wenxuan and Gui Xun'er who came to Wanyang Airport were going to find the storage space where their private spaceship was parked, Ling Wenxuan only carried a light handbag, with only a few clothes in it, Gui Xun'er was carrying a backpack, and the Qixu Sword was tied to the right side of his body along with the scabbard.
Qixu Sword ranks seventh among the top ten famous swords in the world, named because the sword has seven retractable blades, with the swing of the sword, the blade will stretch and stab at the other party, using it like a whip with a blade, and with spells or combat skills linkage, the power is very powerful
Ling Wenxuan's weapon is a mana gun, called Dao Ling, with various elemental spells to produce nine kinds of high-lethal bullets, he most commonly uses seven of them, called "Dao Ling Seven Bullets", but because the manufacture of mana bullets takes a lot of effort, and the bullets are limited, he will not fight with the enemy unless he has to, just like the battle four years ago, he completely won a "skillful" word.
There are not too many people in the airport waiting hall, some are standing aside and reading newspapers, some are leaning back on their seats and yawning, some are checking their luggage to make sure there is nothing missing, men are chatting with their female companions next to them, the elderly are holding tickets and asking the attendant for relevant flight information, and children are told by their parents not to run around.
If there were more people, it would not be so easy to find the service desk, the flight information on the radio and horizontal video in the waiting hall would attract people's attention to other directions at any time, as an airport, there were few signs, Ling Wenxuan was embarrassed to complain about the management's efforts to slam the door to save costs.
"Hello, I am Father Ling Wenxuan from the Edores Monastery. Ling Wenxuan came to the front of the service desk and showed the VIP membership card to the young lady, "I would like to ask if there is a private spaceship called the 'Sky Bird' parked here in our monastery, if so, I would like to apply to travel by flying the spaceship." ”
"Well, please wait a minute. The service lady said and took Ling Wenxuan's magnetic card, swiped it next to the recorder, and only heard a "tick" sound, and the name, data and location of the private spacecraft that Ling Wenxuan said were displayed on the screen, "Yes, there is such a spaceship, in the underground C1 layer storage location, can you show your empty travel certificate?"
"So where are you going? Write down where you're going, and make a record of it. The service lady took the booklet of the empty travel certificate that Gui Xun'er took out from her backpack, took out an agreement and handed it to Ling Wenxuan, "I want to warn you that no spacecraft are allowed to approach the airspace near Glaze Island, and if something happens to you there, our airport will not bear any responsibility." ”
"Yes, no matter how stupid we are, we won't go to places that are forbidden by the state. Ling Wenxuan smiled and filled in the five big characters "Chilu Autonomous Prefecture" in the column of the destination of the agreement, thinking that if he was tracked down by Wanyang Airport, he could also panic through his friends over there and say that he had arrived in Chilu Autonomous Prefecture.
The service lady took the agreement, confirmed the destination on it and Ling Wenxuan's signature, and after a while, she opened the wooden door in front of the service desk and said, "You guys come with me!"
At this moment, there was a sound of women's footsteps behind them, and Ling Wenxuan turned around to find that it was the nuns in his class, and at this time they stood in a row as if they had something to say.
"Mentor, are you leaving, why don't you tell us, even if you can't let us go with you......"
Halfway through Bai Suyan's words, Ling Wenxuan hurriedly stepped forward and covered her mouth, and the suspicious gaze of the service lady behind him made him break out in a cold sweat.
"Come over to me, and take a step to speak. Ling Wenxuan squeezed out these words from between his teeth, and then said with a smile to the service lady, "They are all nuns in my class, and they are here to say goodbye to me today, and there are some things I need to say to them." ”
The service lady looked at her watch impatiently and said, "Then hurry up and say, in a few minutes it will be my turn to change shifts." ”
Ling Wenxuan asked Gui Xun'er to stay with the service lady, and he and the other twelve nuns went to a corner of the departure hall, and then he told the nuns what had happened.
"Now do you understand the seriousness of the matter? It's not just a study trip. ”
Zhong Bimo touched his chin and said, "So that's the case, then why didn't you tell us earlier?"
"I'm afraid that I will involve you in this matter, this operation is ostensibly a mission sent by the Holy Maiden, but in fact it has a lot to do with the Holy See. Ling Wenxuan sighed and smiled bitterly, "It's hard to imagine what kind of punishment I will receive if I fail, even the Holy Maiden's intercession is useless." ”
Wu Ruyi clenched her fists and hugged Ling Wenxuan and said, "The Holy See is too much to do this, there is no reason to blame the mentor for everything." ”
Ling Wenxuan was full of emotion, and said solemnly: "Who made me a traveling priest? There is a good saying: 'The greater a person's fame, the greater the responsibility he carries.' You will understand when you are in the same position as me one day. ”
"Mentor, then you promise us that we will return safely!" Bai Suyan had tears in his eyes and clasped Ling Wenxuan's hands.
"Rest assured, my pious heart is visible to heaven and earth, and I will be blessed by the goddess. Ling Wenxuan prayed with his hand on his chest, and then kissed Bai Suyan's forehead, "May the goddess bless you with kindness, and at the same time, I wish everyone to be safe, and earnestly study theology to preach doctrine." ”
After the nuns finished praying, they left at the urging of Ling Wenxuan, and when he returned to Gui Xun'er, the other party seemed impatient.
"Why did you say something to them for so long?
"It's nothing, just a few goodbyes. ”
"Really?" "Gui Xun'er stared at Ling Wenxuan's eyes to observe his expression, "It is said that the human eye is the most honest organ, and whether a person is lying or not can be seen from his eyes. ”
"Then I would like to ask Miss Nun, do you see anything? Ling Wenxuan sneered and shrugged his shoulders, then followed the service lady towards the corridor leading to the basement, "Let's go, why are you stunned? Don't you want to meet our 'old friend'?"
"You ......" Gui Xun'er pointed at Ling Wenxuan and snorted angrily, keeping up with his footsteps.
Ling Wenxuan and Gui Xun'er followed the service lady to the private spaceship hangar on the basement floor, where about a dozen small private spaceships were parked, most of them were rich people in the city, most of the private spaceships could carry four people, and a few more luxurious ones had as many as six seats, the wings of the spaceships were very thick, which could resist the rapid air currents in the sky, and the color was generally white or silver, and a few were black.
The "Sky Bird" spaceship they were going to take was easy to find, and the largest orange one was the one, and it was not clear why the people who made the spaceship wanted to give this spaceship such an alternative color, which was not beautiful and lacked concealment, and flying in the sky would become a clear target for the enemy.
"Haha...... Old friend, are you okay? We haven't seen each other for a long time. Ling Wenxuan jumped towards the spaceship, gently stroking the wings of the spaceship, and looked happy as if he was reuniting with a friend he hadn't seen for a long time
Gui Xun'er looked at the "Sky Bird" and smiled with satisfaction, her mood was the same as Ling Wenxuan's, this spaceship accompanied almost all their adventures, when collecting the twelve ancient relics, when stopping Mio's plan to kill the gods, when meeting new friends...... And now the "Sky Bird" is about to start a new mission.
"I can't imagine that it's been four years, and you're still so well maintained!" Ling Wenxuan said as he carefully inspected every part of the spaceship, he opened the hatch, patted the dust on the driver's seat, checked the configuration of the manipulator, and asked the service lady for some maintenance details, and after confirming that everything was normal, he let Gui Xun'er sit on the driver's seat of the spaceship.
"Okay!Xun'er, let's go!Let's start a new journey!" Ling Wenxuan pointed to the front, and as the runway in front of him rose, the light shone into the underground level.
"Hey, you still can't change the habit of loving and commanding me!" Rosewood shook her head helplessly and pressed the ignition switch.
With the sound of the engine turning, the rhombic liquid that provides the spacecraft fuel begins to burn, and the speed of the ship changes from slow to fast, then gradually accelerates, and finally flies into the blue sky.
