Chapter 183: Floating Armored Ship
"That's right, the legacy of the old times unearthed at the top of the Banduras Mountains at the Spine of the World, the alchemist directly under the temple not only reactivated the core device of the Floating City, but also modified it to varying degrees to adapt to the current ebb of the elements, so that there is such an amazing mechanical creation. ”
"As agreed beforehand, please allow me to enter the floating ship for a tour. Aldrich Triss made a very simple request, and the face of the chief priest turned ugly in an instant, but he did not pay any attention to it.
"The knights who are lucky enough to carry the gold are eager to meet you, and your request is a bit against the terms of the contract. Anielle Jones was prompted to keep silent and let the head of the Order's residence intervene.
"I hereby promise to lead the Knights of the Lucky Gold Coin to the south to rescue the fallen temple higher-ups, as a supplementary clause to the contract, please do not refuse my request. ”
The chief priest of the reserve had already received a message from the carrier pigeon inside the temple, and he had a very high opinion of the great knight of virtue, Aldrich Tris, and was able to win the other party's action to rectify the direct knights, and the former favor had been sold cleanly, and if he could join in the operation to rescue the hostages in the south, the success rate would be very high.
"Wait a minute!" Anielle Jones had to step up to clean up the mess, her head hanging and her hands on her forehead, a pained look on her face.
"It's a request again! It's annoying. You are like a bunch of unassertive marionettes who need the consent of the higher authorities to take action. ”
"Can you be flexible and positive within a rigid regulatory framework? Don't be like a lame mouthpiece. Such an inconspicuous proposal, it is estimated that the upper echelons of your temple will soon reply to each other. ”
"However, it is conservative to estimate that while affirming the loyalty of the two of you, you will also feel sorry for your incompetence and lack of creative execution. Fear of taking responsibility, lack of risk-taking, and never dare to take the first step. ”
The face of the chief priest was wonderful, one moment as black as the bottom of a smoked pot, the other white as chalky wallskin, and at last a flush of exasperation that could only be found after humiliation, like a dye workshop.
"It's not your surprise request, everything goes according to the established plan, and there are not so many cumbersome things. Emerald Eyes quickly returned to his normal hands and lowered his hands, "You're right, the Council of Chief Priests has agreed in principle to your request, and a new resolution has been passed, and there will be three elders in charge of the Knights of the Lucky Coins. ”
"To be honest, Miss Jones, the performance of you and the head of the Knights' residency has not satisfied the big names in the upper echelons of the temple, and hopefully it will improve in the future. ”
Aldrich Triss made her way to the pontocratic bridge, and Bergta, dressed in Fenrir's incarnate armor, tried to follow, but was willing to stay by her side as a flower messenger for the sake of Anil Jones' safety.
The Chief Priest and the Emerald Eye exchanged glances, and Bolt Hedeens, who was the head of the Knights' residence, followed unhurriedly, only he was most familiar with the interior of the floating ship, and it was believed that there was no one to guide him, and Aldrich Triss, the future "instructor" of the Knights of the Lucky Gold Coins, would not find the right path and hit a wall everywhere.
Bolt Hedeens had a playful look on his face that was ready to see a joke, and Anil Jones was a woman after all, and her mind was a little delicate, so she hurriedly stepped forward to remind her.
"Don't be careless, His Excellency Tris has been promoted to Grand Knight, and his title has not yet been determined. The three sons of war in the arsenal of Cetanis are very different, Lord Prado, who has fought with him, proposes to be the Bronze Martial Codex, and Lord Lester has drawn up the Heart of Platinum, and seems to be willing to share the title prefix with him, as for the strongest Marthus, there has been the experience of the two of them joining forces to destroy the vampire lord, uprooting and strangling the entire family, and directly calling Aldrich Tris the Golden Glory!"
The chief priest of the reserve exclaimed, and couldn't help but pause: "The great knight with the title suffix of glory? Even in the history of the old era, only a few epic heroes could possess it, and without exception, they all entered the legendary realm. ”
Bolt Heidens looked sideways at the Emerald Eye, "Four pillars can be called Knights of Virtue, Aldrich Tris doesn't have six sources, right?"
Anelle Jones bowed her head slightly, and then couldn't help but shake her head: "At least above the six pillars, the teacher estimates that the best heir of the generation of the Vigilant Eye Triss family has the complete Eight Virtues!"
"Impossible!" the head of the station pondered for a moment, "People's hearts are corrupted by money, their will is driven by desire, there are more and more black knights, and now that the soil for the survival of the Virtue Knights has become barren, the Virtue Knights are rare treasures, not to mention the Eight Virtue Knights, this may be the only one in the West Continent?"
Seeing the incredulous expression on Bolt Heideens's face, Aniel Jones also sighed, "Switching each other's positions, with such a special knight in charge, a plate of scattered lucky gold coins may really be integrated and pinched into an iron plate by him." ”
"Perhaps...... Perhaps!"
As the head of the station, he certainly knew how difficult it was for knights from Middle-earth to reach the pinnacle of life with their eyes on the top of his head and greet each other with his chin.
Reasoning with them, the knight began to play hooligan, and with them to play hooligan, the knight began to talk about the spirit of the noble clan, because the gap in force was very small, they were not convinced of each other, and for the only vacant position of the grand master, more than a hundred peak knights formed different factions with each other to fight non-stop.
Perhaps a different kind of knight was needed to calm the scene, and even though he wasn't one of his own inside the temple, Bolt Heidens was inexplicably confident in Aldrich Tris's arrival.
There was a sound of a secret door opening from inside the floating ship, and the heart of the promising chief priest sank: "It is unreasonable to find the right entrance so quickly!"
"Follow along, don't let him see secrets he shouldn't see!" Anill Jones hurriedly urged, her tone revealing a rare anxiety.
The most critical core component of the floating ship, taken from the legacy of the old era of the wreckage of the floating city, resists the gravity of the earth, and the technology of floating and lifting, due to the violent turmoil of the alternation of the old and new eras, there is a rare fault.
The Emerald Eye believes that only the temple can activate the core almost completely, and perform perfect replacements and modifications, so that it can have the extraordinary secret hole card of the floating armored ship.
Compared with the floating ships, the new weapons of the three North Sea countries are like pebbles randomly picked up on the riverbed and placed next to precious diamonds, and the two are not at the same grade at all.
Aldrich Triss walked through the rope bridge into the cigar-shaped cabin, the bright, clear glass windows that let in light well, but he stepped forward curiously, curled his fingers and tapped the buckle lightly, almost smashing the valuable thing to pieces.
"It needs to be improved to a certain extent, adding an extra glass and filling it with transparent crystal propolis to avoid the impact of high-altitude birds and improve the safety and security of the cabin. ”
"If necessary, you have to prepare a parachute in advance. There should be no reserves for this, let me think about it...... The mechanical craftsmanship of the old-time gnomes is said to have a propeller backpack for slow descent, a metal folding link live buckle, an all-steel double-layer reverse parachute blade, and ball bearings......"
Suddenly, the fragments of time from his previous life surfaced from his long memory, the blue-skinned cat with a pocket plane, he couldn't help but laugh, thinking too far.
With two rows of compact seats on the left and right of the cabin, with only an aisle for two people to pass sideways, Aldrich, with his discerning eye, quickly reached the middle of the cabin and lifted the flawless carpet to reveal a spiral staircase leading to the core power compartment on the next level.
There was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, and Tris walked down unconcernedly, without restoring the entrance, to show his selflessness.
As he approached, the core device of the floating ship, a blue crystal diamond-shaped quadrangular prism with countless runes and triple metal hoops engraved on its surface, quietly glowed with a wave of light like sea water.
Aldrich's pitch-black pupils were dyed with a mysterious blue, and he stepped forward to circle the core, remembering all the details, and walked back to the spiral staircase with satisfaction.
"It is equivalent to an anti-gravity engine, using the talent of the atmospheric elves to levitate the heavy objects below the limit load to leave the ground, coupled with the propeller propulsion at the tail end of the floating ship, the dragon wings on both sides maintain balance, and it is not difficult to dive into the south from a high altitude. ”
Bolt Heidens walked down the spiral staircase, just in time to see Aldrich Triss in contemplation, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and put his right hand on the deck of the entrance, "Have you seen the legacy of the old times, and are you satisfied now?"
"With the current low tide of the elements, if you want to make such a high-density, tightly arranged giant crystal of atmospheric spirits, no one can do it except for the temple of the rich country. ”
Aldrich Triss shook his head slightly, then turned and left, and the chief priest hurriedly made way of the spiral staircase, and the two returned to the main cabin.
"The float should not just be a troop carrier for covert infiltration and stimulate its war potential, in order for the plan to succeed we should add weapons systems for offensive and self-defense. ”
His proposal made Bolt Hedeens's eyes light up instantly, "You're right, our plan of action is a bit conservative, after all, the many principalities in the south are just a front for the stage, and the vampires and lichs have reached an understanding that the formation of the undead empire is our enemy." ”
"Vampires with a source of blood that can cast spells rule over long nights, and there are quite a few of them. As for the few Lichs, there are certainly sources of spellcasting, but most of them are remnants from the turbulent times of the old era...... Don't look at me like that, the West-Turkish Customs Union is very interested in the war that the South has taken the initiative to provoke, and will more or less understand it. ”
The chief priest of the reserve put away his surprised expression: "Didn't you start a war with the three countries of the North Sea for the profits of the trade routes, and it has not been quelled so far? ”
"I'm not surprised that the Temple has mastered the situation on the West Continent!"
