Chapter 498 The Falling Airship
"Stephanie, fly high, the higher the better."
Xia asked the black-clothed little Lori to fly to the sky to reconnoitre, wanting to get a rough understanding of the whole picture of the New World.
As a result, it flew to more than 10,000 meters, and there was still no end in sight to this continent, which was far from her original idea of "just a very large island".
"Even the area we just saw, the map in the hands of the Empire does not depict even a tenth of it, this place is too vast, is it really a piece of land no less than Faenns?"
"I was a little hesitant at first, but now it seems that it is better to do this."
She put away the map and patted the head of the little Lori in black:
"From now on, your mission is to find Erin and bring her here for me, and nothing else."
"The host ......"
The little Lori in black hadn't been patted on the head so affectionately by her master for a long time, and her eyes were a little moist.
"Go, I can take care of myself, I won't set foot in this place until you come back, only at sea and within the range of Faenns."
Now Xia already has the ability to cross the continent, as long as she doesn't go to some particularly dangerous places, whether it is a monster or a person, she can't hurt her.
"Even if I'm trapped in the Divine City and the Imperial Capital now, I can escape if I can't beat it, what are you worried about?"
Xia saw that the little Lori in black was reluctant to leave, so he walked up to her, kissed her on the face, straightened up and said:
"This task is very important, go and come back quickly; Let's not forget what this place means to us...... We must do our best to take down the part that belongs to us, so that the progress of the main quest can be much shorter. ”
was patted on the head affectionately by the owner first, and then kissed, although he was still reluctant, and finally the artifact Lori still left slowly.
"This task is also my test for you. Stephanie. ”
Natsu watched her disappear into the horizon and whispered in her mouth.
After returning to the ship, she gave the order to Abner and the others to return at full speed.
Not understanding why she did so, Albernar and Merlin faithfully complied with her orders, and sailed back to the island shrouded in gray fog as fast as they could.
"Why are you back again? A human maiden. ”
As soon as she stepped into the island, Grea appeared in front of her:
"What about our agreement?"
The undead appeared to her in a different image each time. First a cicada, then a strange human face, and now a flame demon again.
"What are you anxious about?"
Xia has always had no good looks at it:
"You think your request is so easy to do, it will take me at least a year to prepare, and I can't let the Empire find out that I did it."
"I didn't mean to rush you."
Grea's voice softened: "It's only a year, I can wait ......"
"I propose that you sleep on this island for a while, waiting for my awakening; You may not realize that the long years have made your spirit moody and your behavior more and more strange. It won't do you or me any good. ”
Xia gave it a slight reminder and activated his superpowers to search for Bennett in various areas of the island.
Although the chief priest was good at concealment, he couldn't escape the bug-like ability of psychic telepathy, and was soon found by Xia in an abandoned village.
The village was littered with pitch-black bones, unknown to what had been killed, and it looked eerie, and ordinary people would only walk around, but they could not frighten the Holy Priest.
"Damn. The information given is also too inaccurate, and the island is not big. It's not too small; Just give me an approximate location, how can I go about finding the airship wreckage? ”
Bennett looked even thinner than before, his face was like a skinny skeleton, the food on the island wasn't that abundant, he was here on a secret mission, and he couldn't ask for resources from the Order's ships.
"Grea. Do you remember where an airship has fallen on this island? ”
Natsu leaned on a high mountain peak and looked down, asking the undead who were following him.
"Airship?"
Grea was a little unfamiliar with the word, and then suddenly realized: "You're talking about the kind of manned aircraft that can fly...... It crashed into a canyon and was not visible from the outside. ”
"Follow me."
It led Natsu over two mountain peaks, eventually spotting the tail of an airship in an overgrown canyon.
Due to the location of the island in a high magnetic latitude area. Occasionally, the aurora occurs at night, and when you climb the canyon in the summer, a green light suddenly crosses the horizon, flashing through the sky like a ribbon, giving the sky a sparkling halo.
"Right here."
Grea stretched out her flaming finger, and in the direction of its fingertips, an airship shrouded in hazy light appeared in Natsu's field of vision.
The shell of the airship had decayed, and some of the most destructive plants had even pierced the interior of the airship, and under the aurora light, plant vines and huge metal objects formed a mysterious and vicissitudes of life.
"You've eaten all the people in here?"
Natsu cast his magic and flew into the airship and found some jet-black marks, a bit like blood spots.
"I never eat people!"
Grea replied indignantly:
"They died of cannibalism, it has nothing to do with me, the corpses should have been disposed of by those carnivorous vines."
A small fireball popped out of its hand, and a vine tightly wrapped around its shell was blown off, and a black-green liquid emerged from it.
"Shhhh
The vines reacted quickly to the flames, falling from their shells and sticking out their mouths with sharp teeth in the canyon, looking for the attacking foe.
"Huh? That's what it is. ”
Bennet, who was desperately searching for a trace of the airship, suddenly saw a flash of fire from the north.
"Meteorites? It's a surprise. ”
His heart moved, patted the dust on his body, and flew to the location of the canyon in a low-altitude manner.
As he passed a charred corpse, it suddenly rolled over and sat up, reaching out to grab him.
"It's annoying that you bastards who play dead start moving at night!"
Bennett unleashed his magic to break the corpse apart, and came to the canyon with a curse.
"God Sado, see what I find?"
After seeing the wreckage of the airship, he was pleasantly surprised to draw a cross on his chest.
"Imperial airships!"
The priest, who had dealt with the Harlem Empire for many years, became excited:
"The bow of this model should have a disaster recorder with information about the route and the coordinates of the destination, and it is definitely possible to find the real place where the Imperials want to go!" (To be continued......)
