Chapter 3: The Emerald Light
Huge floating boats, ships flying in the air.
The metal hull is smooth and bright, reflecting a dazzling glow in the moonlight. The streamlined bow and stern are carefully calculated to most efficiently break through the incoming wind, and the bottom is flat, like a base, for the float to land on flat ground.
According to Yulia, the original float was designed according to the appearance of the ship, but it turned out that it could not land, but could only float in the sky all the time, and after scolding the lazy shape designer, it was only after scolding the lazy shape designer that it had the current flat bottom.
On the airboat, the deck is the most spacious, and Duck can even run horses on it, and the nightmare beast is indeed very majestic, but the problem is that this is a floating boat, and it is by no means a good place to walk horses.
Originally, Duck was not so naïve, but in those service facilities on the deck, although the service staff were of all races, the common characteristic was that they were all women, and they were all beautiful women.
Duck has gone mad.
In a few hours, he had exchanged addresses with eleven waitresses, and made an appointment on the order of future meetings, three of which also left room numbers, and he didn't know how the three room numbers would be arranged with only eleven hours in total.
When one of the most beautiful of them looked at him with admiration, and said with a look of admiration that he had never seen a real knight charge, the fellow went mad, and summoned the nightmare beast on the spot and began to perform how to charge, so disobedient that everyone looked sideways.
Then this idiot was knocked to the ground by Ma Lian, and a miserable wail echoed on the deck, and in the face of this human tragedy, several familiar high-ranking fighters were indifferent, and a certain combat officer was still applauding and cheering, which was simply ruthless.
"Attention, attention, prepare to leave the city limits, the combatants are on alert. ”
Cold and mechanical, Vi's amplified voice came from the speakers on the deck, heralding the beginning of the real journey.
This is not the first time that a float has sailed, it has a fixed route.
Leaving the Bright City, sail forty kilometers eastward, enter the nearby city, and then fly northeast along the way of the city until Minghu City, which belongs to the Camelot family of the Emerald Empire, and then go all the way north, rush out of the city and enter the wilderness, take a straight line and sail on the wilderness for more than four hours, and finally re-enter the city from the Gray Studios and return to the safe world.
The metro is a haven for intelligent creatures, a relatively safe area in this dangerous world, and you don't have to worry about being threatened by monsters and natural phenomena at any time.
And once you leave the protection of the city, you will have to face challenges from the natural world of Pavatiga, dangerous land, diseases, magical beasts, and the harsh natural environment, all of which are deadly threats.
Of course, the air is much better than the ground, in the vast airspace, at least the number of Warcraft is much smaller, and flying Warcraft generally do not hunt large prey in the air, they prefer to target ground creatures.
The most important thing is that although it is outside the scope of the city, after all, this is the surrounding area of the settlement of intelligent creatures, and most of the powerful and huge super monsters live freely in the wild land that humans have not set foot in, and they never join in the fun in the area controlled by intelligent creatures, so it is much safer to cross the wilderness in the air than on the ground.
However, accidents are always everywhere, and occasionally there will be monsters that target huge floating boats, and I don't know how much they can't think about it, so they will rashly attack behemoths that are dozens or even hundreds of times larger than themselves.
Although the hull of the floating boat is made of metal, it can be explained that it is difficult for a few flying monsters to destroy the hull, but no one likes to be constantly attacked, and they are also worried that there are a few super strong individuals mixed in it, and if they really destroy the floating boat, everyone will regret it, so every time they sail, the floating boat will always be equipped with a group of silver-level winged people with low-level winged troops to escort the voyage.
"Woo woo woo ~~~~", the unique sound effect of the air whistle is far and clear, in the whistle, thirty winged people flapped their wings and soared into the air, holding spears and winged people holding bows and arrows in pairs, three-dimensional around the hull, flying with the floating boat.
Looking down from the edge of the deck, below is the most marginal town in Minghu City, two hundred meters in the air, the buildings have become as small as models, and people and animals have become small black dots.
It was already dark, but the well-eyed warriors could still faintly see that within the boundaries of the city, the border warriors pushed their horses and lighting towers out of the watchtowers, ready to start the night's defense, and on the paths on the edge of the fields, the villagers who had been turning the land for the last time before winter began to fertilize them, hurried along with their livestock and farm tools, trying to get home before night fell on the edge of the city, and in the town, smoke was rising from every house, and women were busy in their yards, preparing for today's dinner, and the children were chasing and playing around their mothers, and when they saw the behemoth in the sky passing by, they did not forget to raise their heads and wave their hands, and it was obvious that the floating boats had passed by the town more than once, the children have long been surprised.
The standard to the template border agricultural town, in the tension of the border, reveals the indelible tranquility and peace, it is this calm and tranquility that makes travelers who are about to leave the city can't help but miss the safety in the city.
The speed of the float boat seemed to be slow and fast, and in a few minutes, the border town was left behind, and the waving children, the farmers who talked and laughed, and the border guards who gave the middle finger (??) to the float boat, disappeared from view in a blink of an eye, and the ship finally entered the dangerous wilderness.
As soon as you fly into the wilderness, the style below immediately changes, and the atmosphere becomes noticeably gloomy.
Winter is coming, and the grass and trees are yellow.
Among the dead grass, countless black shadows passed through like lightning, and the dead grass occasionally shook violently, and each shaking may represent the passage or imminent passage of a life, which is the prey that has been captured, and what is about to pass is that there is not enough food to fill the stomach before the winter.
From time to time, one or two behemoths will emerge from the thick dead grass, and even from a distance of several hundred meters, they can be seen clearly, and their size can be imagined.
It's all Warcraft.
Strong muscles, hard skin, huge size, and fierce eyes look full of danger.
But there is no need to worry, the largest creatures in an area are often herbivores with few natural predators, docile and timid, as long as they do not provoke them, they will not take the initiative to attack humans.
Meek fart.
The thunder ox below, which bows its head and points its horns at the sky, constantly discharges electricity into the air to make a threat, looks like a ploughing ox, but has a violent temperament, and will take the initiative to attack as soon as a large creature dares to approach them.
And the rabbit over there with organs like a round sarcoma on its back, whenever it is afraid, it will throw the sarcoma down to confuse the enemy to run away, the problem is, that thing will explode on its own, if it explodes at close range, the power is enough to blow off the legs of ordinary people, and if you are unlucky, the cause of being killed directly has also happened, docile?
"Listen, the Wind Fox of the Demon Beast Gate Lu Feng Gang, the fastest animal in this Emerald Plain, is even ten percent faster than the speed of the Lightning Leopard. As soon as you hear the sound of tearing through the air, you know it's them. ”
Saf and Shul leaned on the side of the ship, looking at the performance of hunting and hunting in the wilderness below, to be exact, one was listening, the other was watching, the female swordsman's hearing was terrifying, and from a distance of nearly two hundred years, she could still hear the sound of the wind fox moving at high speed. Of course, this is also related to the reason of the Wind Fox itself, when it hunts, it can use the wind element to increase its already lightning speed to an astonishing level, even exceeding the speed of sound propagation, so that whenever it gallops at top speed, it will emit a piercing popping sound, indicating its existence. However, this does not affect its hunting plan, even if the prey hears the sound of its running, it is useless, because the throat of the prey has already been bitten by the wind fox by the time it hears the sound.
"Tsk, I'm not interested in Warcraft, I have to kill a lot every time I go out, I'm already visually tired, what I want to see now is the legendary Emerald Light, in the book "Geopolitical Wonders", but it is described as a miracle. ”
"It's going to take more than ten minutes, and McVie likes to exaggerate too much, and it's the same with Exploring the Heights of Dharanal, and I think he's better suited to writing plays, not geography. ”
"But at least 'Top of the World—The Land Closest to God'......"
The two of them leaned side by side, leaning in a dark corner, chatting endlessly about topics that only the two of them could go on, the warm touch came from the contact point of the shoulder, the soft words seemed to itch in the ears, the ambiguous atmosphere slowly brewed between the two, the eye contact, the physical touch, everything made Safu intoxicated, even the dangerous night, in her eyes were much gentler.
"So many books...... shuer stopped talking, shook his head and changed his words, "the textbooks are almost collected, isn't it time to start acting?"
"It's still far from funding. Saf was a little disappointed to focus on the knowledge he was most interested in, but the topic was obviously more important, "There is still a big gap in funding, and it takes more money than you think to spread knowledge." ”
"You don't plan to save all at once and then implement the plan, don't make a fuss, you may not be able to save all for a lifetime. Shuer patted the female swordsman's head with a smile, "Find a time to talk to you in a few days, and the plan to realize your dream for you can begin." ”
"But ......"
"No, but, as I said, I'll arrange it for you before you learn to take control of your life, but of course I'll give you a reason then. ”
"Hmm. In an obviously unpleasant commanding tone, Saph nodded meekly with a sweet smile on his face.
"Wow, Emerald Light. There was a commotion on the deck, and as far as the eye could see, more than a dozen pillars of green light, thicker than a floating boat, shot straight into the sky from the ground.
This is where the name Emerald Empire comes from, Emerald Light.
