Chapter 13: Airborne Mulim
The entrance to the Cassuda amusement park. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Usually my sister is very well-behaved, but sometimes she still plays a little and gives full play to her age advantage, which makes adults have a headache.
Hurstim: "Alright, it's been three days, it's time to go back." ”
Ethefa Ram: "Ahh
"No, we said that we would leave together when the ticket expired. "There had been murders here, and Hurstim couldn't afford to leave his sister here alone.
"Didn't I stay alone before, hmm, my sister will go back first......
As a result, after going around in a circle, the topic went back again, and from the morning onwards, the topic went back and forth, and if it weren't for the majesty of his sister, it would have been impossible to pull Ethel Faram to the gate, and correspondingly, after arriving at the gate, the little girl's resistance became more and more intense, and the result was a stalemate on the side of the road.
Ethelfaram wanted to stay at the amusement park for a while longer, but she didn't want to leave, and Hurstim couldn't bear to murder her sister, so she finally compromised with each other - only Ethelfram was allowed to say goodbye to Sernrump and Sanlia, whom she had met at the amusement park, and had to leave after saying goodbye.
Hurstime's idea was that two more sensible people should persuade him to go with him. People who can be involved in various Hickland events should not be too naïve in their thinking and behavior.
It just so happened that the horizontal fork at the gate was the road leading to the accommodation area and the office area, and it didn't take long to find the office building.
"Huh, you're saying that Snlupp and Sanlia have left?"
Since they are the two princesses of the Dragon City of the End Sea, it is Tahi Yuan who receives the blonde sisters. Hurstim expressed surprise at the sight that the park keeper had just left, but considering that he could be caught up in some war thousands of miles away, it was not surprising that he would leave the amusement park at will.
Athefaram, who translated Tahidi's words for her, also had a regretful expression on her face: "I also said that Brother Snlup would help me braid my hair again." ”
All kinds of amusement park gadgets, such as masks and headbands from before, were carried into a small backpack behind her back. In the morning, Hurstim tried to braid the hair that Snlupp had made for his sister the day before, but it didn't work out, which is why Ethelfram agreed to come to Snlupp - to get another fun hairstyle......
In the end, it was Tahidi's persuasion that Ethepharam agreed to leave with her sister. Seeing the two of them go, Tahi was also determined to leave the amusement park in her heart, and it was time to go out of her own way.
Followed her sister to get into the carriage and prepare to take the port ship back to the old capital of Ethefaram in the golden mile, reluctantly looking back at the amusement park, now all she can see is the towering floating continental car, she remembers that when she took it before, she looked at the carriages and boats coming and going below, but happy, the high place is really the favorite of the dragon clan......
Yu Youzi was also looking up at a high place at this time.
The airport is not an airport, but a towering building two or three times taller than a floating continental car, and if anything, it looks like an elevated power tower, or an Eiffel Tower with a "long pole" at the top. The airships are hung on this "long pole" one by one, as if they are fruits growing on the trunk of a tree.
Getting out of the carriage provided by Mezewin, and standing at the entrance of the airport, that is, at the bottom of the iron roof, the wanderer looked up at the tower, and was amazed at the tall building, which seemed to be regarded as a normal thing by the people here, and at the same time regarded the look up and fuss of those who had just come to the city and had never seen the market as a normal phenomenon.
In the world where the most common buildings are three stories high, and there are five floors on Valli's side, the highest is either the palace or the fortress, and this kind of huge metal and cement mixed building that is more than three hundred meters high suddenly appears, it is difficult for Yu Youzi not to be shocked, it is a feeling of suddenly seeing a big tree on the endless grass.
Yu Youzi had a similar memory, the first time he visited the starport, sat in the transportation spaceship, and saw the huge artificial planet in orbit that contained the space battleship, he also looked at it with great eyes, trying to see what the whole building looked like.
People around him come and go, most of them are carrying bags and saluting, rushing their own way, and most of them are curious about his black hair when they glance sideways at the young man looking at the roadside.
Retracting his gaze, Yu Youzi asked the coachman who had sent him over to go back, and walked towards the ticket hall, which was a wide space the size of a sports field, with a row of huge flaps hanging on the ticket counter in the front, and from time to time there were entries flipped to show the information of the airship that was about to set sail, and compared with the big clock hanging on the central column, travelers could arrange their own itinerary.
After looking at the direction, he walked straight to the entrance of the tower, holding the letter of proof given to him by Her Majesty, Yu Youzi directly passed through the crowd of people waiting for the elevator from the city guard, looked at the letter to the staff of the elevator, and asked him to send himself to the airport trestle floor alone.
The trestle for loading and unloading passengers looked like a pole on a narrow tower at the bottom and on the top, but when they came up, they found that it was a semi-sealed wide corridor for eight horses to gallop back and forth. Yu Youzi pulled his collar, it was still very hot on the ground, but although the promenade was baked by the direct sunlight after coming up, the air on the promenade was not hot because of the wind brought by the airships coming and going from time to time.
On the side of the palace, I don't think that because of the ban, few airships pass through the Ondoc district, but after coming to the airport, I found that the number of airships is so large and the frequency of departures is frequent. If you just look at the airship and don't look down, it seems to be the dock of Kasuda.
Walking out into the corridor, the goods to be transported are stacked on a central road full of stacked goods, with pedestrians and transport trailers on both sides, so as to avoid blocking the entrance and exit of a certain airship.
Airships are equipped with at least one crew member for boarding and inspection at the passage board connected to the promenade, and there is also an explanation board about the route of their airship next to it. Yu Youzi looked for the past one by one, picked and chosen, and finally selected a wooden board with the words: "Ten grids set sail, and the destination is the old capital in gold." "The airship.
"Are you going to set sail?" Yu Youzi asked the crew standing next to the passage board, "Your ship has passed over Mulimu City, right?"
The bearded crew member sitting next to the explanation board nodded affirmatively and said, "Why is the young man going to the old capital of Jinli?
"I came up with this. Yu Youzi said and showed off his testimonial, "Let me talk to your captain." ”
The interior of the airship is not as pure wood as it seems, and many places are metal structures, which seem to be in order to reduce weight, so pure wooden structures are not used. Yu Youzi was led to the captain's room, a small room that was only enough to put a table and a bench, and stood two or three people.
"Tell me, what do you need our help with?" said the captain after glancing at Her Majesty's letter of waiting for the mission, and then looked at Yu Youzi.
Yu Youzi threw two Riffs on the table and said, "I need you to set sail on time, and then give me a parachute so that I can disembark halfway." ”
Ahem...... The captain who reached out for the coin seemed to be choked, and reached out and shook it and made a gesture of please wait: "Ahem, you shouldn't be jumping in Muli Mucheng, right?"
"Huh, how do you know?"
"I heard someone say it in a bar not long ago...... It seems to be very popular lately to jump down in Mulimu City, and I've heard of this happening to two boats...... Looks like it's my airship's turn this time. ”
The captain accepted Yu Youzi's task with a groan, and the airship set off on time. Since he was Her Majesty's man, the captain allowed Yu Youzi to visit the bridge and chatted with the black-haired boy there.
Yu Youzi asked about the boat ticket and some other things.
Since the vast majority of airships are privately owned, the ticketing model is to consign tickets in the ticket hall, and the airport takes a commission from it, and the tickets are handed over to the captain, who goes to the finance to collect the fare. Because the airport is used as an intermediary, passengers avoid indiscriminate charges during the flight and the situation that the crew collects fees privately. In short, the airship travel and freight industry is very formal.
Moreover, the airship cannot land, because it is mainly produced on the floating continent, the "floating stone", made of the suspension device to fly, the airship to land on the ground is more difficult than to fly up, according to the captain, it is a mineral that will fall into the "sky". Therefore, the airship docks at an airfield not an airfield like that on Earth, but a towering airport......
The airship on the hot air balloon earth can also reduce buoyancy by deflating, so as to land, but the airship of this world, after unloading the floating rock, it will directly destroy the plane and kill people.
After eating the sandwich cake prepared by the captain for himself is said to be the best, in fact, there are a few more slices of meat, as lunch, the time is almost up, about to pass through Mulimu City, the captain is happy to let the airship change course from the top of Mulimu City, so that it is convenient for Yu Youzi to better land to the destination, but after thinking about it, he actually has no need to go to Mulimu City, just let the captain pass through the Karelian Pass, and he has to parachute and land in that town......
There is no concept of land in this world, the country is born because of the existence of people on the land, to say why this situation occurs, it can only be said that it is because the land is too big, and there are too many wild beasts, fierce beasts and even sealing beasts and natural disasters in the wilderness, and the safe places where people live are like isolated islands in the ocean, and the national border of this world is not a "line", but a large piece of barren land with width, the so-called "neighboring country" It is two countries whose borders are larger and smaller than a country, and the distant state is a barren land that does not know how many thousands of miles apart, so portals and airships are the most important modes of transportation in the world, and railways can only be used as domestic transportation.
Yu Youzi once read a history book of the Wind People that said that the first Kazama guests arrived in the Hero Country on foot across a barren land equivalent to the length of an Asian east and west on the earth, and they recorded detailed geographical records to provide reference for later Kazama people, because the barren land was really nothing, even trees were very rare, and the landforms were varied, from black mud and fertile soil to yellow-brown dry cracked earth...... It was for these reasons that Yu Youzi scoffed at Alai Feng's statement about becoming Kazama, not thinking that the two delicate Wind Priests could withstand the hardships of Kazama.
It is precisely because countries are like islands that even empires with a population of more than 100 million people such as the Hero Kingdom cannot expand their territory to the extent that they border the surrounding kingdoms—and all the kingdoms that can border are under their rule. There is no such thing as geopolitics in this world, because no great power is bordering......
Smuggling in a world of this nature is an easy task, and it is easy to take the risk of walking through the barren land to reach the border of another country, and the entrance to the Carrelian Mountains refers specifically to such a border, which is the end of the western side of the mountain range and the beginning of a canal called Micah, which, together with the other tributaries, converges on the Tiberau River.
"You can see Mount Karelian. Standing on the deck, the captain pointed to the distance below and said, "Do you want to fly to the position and let us hover the airship for a while?"
Yu Youzi shook his head: "Just pass through Yamaguchi Town, and I'll jump from the stern of the boat in a while." ”
"You know how to use a parachute, right?"
"It's going to work, just pull the drawstring after descending a distance...... I don't have the feather fall technique anymore......"
"Many mages can't concentrate in mid-air and cast spells, they say they can't pronounce standard ...... when they fall"
"You don't need spells to cast spells. "It is only necessary to construct geometric shapes in the brain, and magicians who need to rely on pronunciation to help them think are weak hands.
"Aha, I don't know anything about magic, anyway, I wish you a nice trip!"
The captain nodded and went back to the boat. High altitude and high-speed sailing, there is a strong air flow outside the hull, if you encounter windy weather, a careless will be blown away, no one has a little level of people better stay in the hull of the boat.
The whole airship looks like an olive that has been cut in half horizontally, and when I used to look up from the ground when I was in Bark Village, I only thought it was an olive, but now I found that it was actually half an olive. There is nothing inside the sails, there are four symmetrical wings inserted in the hull to stabilize the hull, and there are four horizontal metal discs at the base of the wings, the inner circle of the disc exudes a blue halo, and a large irregular crystal is erected in the middle, which is the floating stone that the captain said.
The airship was only a hundred meters long, but it was quite wide, more like a watermelon than an olive. Seeing that the distance was about the same, Yu Youzi ran to the stern of the boat to prepare first, but when he lay on the guardrail and looked down, he saw a pair of huge propellers, and the sound of Weng Ming was emitted by this pair of power devices - if he jumped, he would definitely be stirred into meat sauce, and recalled the parachuting process of Sanfrie and Ti Lili, and found that they all went down from the side of the boat, so Yu Youzi moved to the middle of the airship to prepare for the parachute jump.
Yu Youzi was worried that his magic power was not enough to support the feather fall technique that lasted for one kilometer, so he was honestly doing the final inspection of the parachute, when a question came from beside him-
"You're going to jump here?"
