Chapter 42: Reunion in the Floating City
The sky is a world that belongs to the winged people and dragons, and the land races are full of yearning for it, but also full of fear. The light curtain on the edge of the platform is actually mainly to block the view of passengers, so as not to cause tragedy in fear of passengers losing their minds.
However, this will inevitably lead to boredom in the process of ascent, after all, considering the physical endurance of ordinary visitors, the speed of the lifting platform cannot be too fast, and if you want to rise to a height of several hundred meters, it will take at least three or four minutes, and you can't take the opportunity to overlook the surrounding scenery from a high altitude, and you always feel that something is missing.
"Didn't you go to the Katria Gorge as a wild man two years ago?" Unable to see the scenery, Shul could only retract his gaze regretfully, "Why did you suddenly appear here?"
When they parted two years ago, Yulia had said that when she returned, she would go to the Gilcelles family's magic base in the Katria Gorge to study the improvement of the floatship, and then produce a few finished ships as soon as possible. And the Katria Gorge is far away in the western wilderness, and it is a wild place that the civilization of the land race has never set foot in, and only a few explorers have ever been there, so there is a wild man in the wilderness.
"I went, the problem was solved, and all that was left was the boring production process, which was so boring, so I ran back. Yulia said happily, "Actually, I just came back not long ago, hehe, fortunately I found the idea in that otherworldly projection, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to deal with." ”
That's a pity, Shul lamented in his heart.
Although everyone cooperated very happily before, Yulia's personality is also good, and she has never been domineering because she is rich and rivals the country, the problem is, this guy has been used to the life of a rich man since he was a child, and his views on money, especially on the amount of money, are completely different from most people, and it is really hard to get along with her, it is difficult to reach an agreement, it is okay to be an ordinary friend who meets and chats occasionally, and if you want to have in-depth contact, forget it.
In addition, I was really embarrassed at the time, and I almost had no money to pay the bills, so I still asked Saf to borrow money temporarily so that I didn't lose face on the spot, for Shuer, this is an unprecedented shame, and every time we meet, it is inevitable that I will recall, so can't I hide and go?
It's all to blame on that good thing bastard.
Shuer glared fiercely at Dack, who was looking at the lively Dack, this bastard knew everything in his heart, he just wanted to see me embarrassed, so he deliberately informed her, you wait for me, sooner or later I will come back with revenge.
Hehe, Duck smiled innocently at the glaring Shure, but the smile was meaningful and seemed to have some special meaning.
There was a soft "click", and the platform under his feet trembled, and finally stopped rising, and as the light curtain fell, the surrounding scene was revealed in front of everyone.
At this time, everyone is in an empty square at the edge of the city, and in front of them is the magnificent city in the sky, so a close observation can be regarded as the true appearance of the floating city.
Stunning Floating City, a masterpiece like no other.
Different from the habits of the terrestrial races, this is a three-dimensional city.
The white building rises into the sky, the grandeur of the building is imposing, the building is towering into the sky, and there are spacious platforms outside each window, and the platform of the same plane surrounds the building, dividing the building into many levels.
The platform is the road between the cities, spacious and smooth, for people to pass freely, many winged people walk on the platform, and a small number of intelligent creatures of the land race are mixed in the process.
Each building, every few floors, will stretch out from the edge of the platform to connect with the surrounding buildings, different levels of floating passages connect the surrounding different buildings, hundreds of floating passages form a three-dimensional network, connecting dozens of buildings throughout the city.
People in the air can walk through the city without touching the ground of the sky island with their feet, and even in high-rise buildings, it is still possible to see pedestrians passing leisurely through the window at any time. Those bright floor-to-ceiling windows are both windows and gates, and no matter what floor you are on, you can step out of the window and find yourself on the street, where you can go anywhere in the city.
This is a difficult idea for the land race to think of, and only the Winged People, who are accustomed to three-dimensional flight life, can design such a strange city.
Open your mouth wide and accept the shock brought by this never-before-seen city, even the mercenaries under Dark's command are the first time to climb the bright city, the first time to see the close-up appearance of the floating city, everyone has only one thought, that is, it is worth the trip.
However, the shock was not over, and when I turned around, I saw a huge ship floating in the air.
It was a hollow area of the Sky Island, two long air docks, jutting out from the edge of the Sky Island, forming an air port, between which a huge ship made of wood and metal hovered silently in the clouds, and several anchor chains were connected to the ship from the edge of the pier so that it would not drift away with the wind.
Of course, this is the floating boat, the only air ship in the world, although there is only one route to the Jade Imperial Capital Lion City, but I believe that in the foreseeable future, there will be more routes between the surrounding cities, and at that time, the life of intelligent creatures may change a lot.
The thought of being able to board the legendary airship made everyone look forward to it, but unfortunately, there is still one day before the departure time, and now they are not allowed to board the ship at all, so they can only suppress their curiosity as much as possible.
"Whew~~~", a sudden wolf howl, simply pulled everyone back to reality from the shock.
It's really too discordant, hundreds of meters in the air, in the magnificent and magical city, there is actually a wolf howling?
What are you kidding, even the border towns will not easily have such a thing as a demonic beast entering the town, how can there be a demonic beast coming in in the defensive land of the Winged Human Race, impossible, absolutely impossible.
The problem is, it really happens.
A silvery-white figure rushed towards Shur from outside the square, white fur shiny and shining in the sun.
In everyone's strange gaze, Shuer's eyes were like dead fish, staring expressionlessly at the monster that pounced.
It was a white giant wolf, tall and mighty, with sharp teeth and claws, bulging muscles under the skin, and its body was full of strength, strong, agile, and beautiful, and it looked like a powerful demonic beast.
If it doesn't stick out its tongue and wag its tail, it does.
The problem is that this guy is not at all fierce now, he sticks out his tongue flatteringly, his tail wags like a windmill, his upper body stands upright, his two front paws are on his chest, and his mouth makes strange noises.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. ”
"Nice, close to the dog barking. Shuer looked stunned and asked with a blank expression, "What's the situation with this thing? Isn't it supposed to have merged with the clan, where should it go, why is it here?"
The object of Shuer's question was naturally not this demonic beast who was trying her best to look like a dog, but a female priest who was wearing the white robe of the Water Temple and hurried over with the white wolf.
Lord of Lakes and Rivers, a fanatic follower of Lord Wendy, and suspected successor to the next Archbishop of the Temple, the Priest Kelly.
However, Ms. Kelly, who was as calm as the lake, just tilted her head blankly, as if everything had nothing to do with her, which made people angry and funny.
"I don't know what happened, but when I got back to the temple of the gods, I took it to its people, and they got together and roared for a while, and the wolves went away on their own, and it had to go back to the temple after us, and when we got back, we didn't leave. The person who answered was not Kelly, and the voice came from behind the priestess, "After I went back, I stayed at the door of the big library every day, and when I saw me passing by, I screamed, and I really couldn't help it, so I took it into the library." As a result, when it went in, it fell asleep when it was full, and when it woke up, it ran to the library lobby and lay on its stomach, and now I don't know what to do. ”
"Alas. Xiuer pressed his forehead with a headache, "What did the fawn say?"
"Little deer?" she said, Yo Yo Yo ......."
"I'm just a deer?"
"Hmm. ”
"Very well, I'll treat you to smoked deer legs when I get back. Shuer gritted his teeth hatefully, and out of nowhere he took out a piece of jerky and threw it into the white wolf's mouth, so that he could send away the shameful monster that was wagging its tail.
"Huh?" Lisa-sama finally reacted, her hair was about to blow up, and she pointed to the other side and said, "Stupid Saf, how could it be you?, I see, brother, you made an appointment with her to date here, didn't you?"
"I don't. Shuer looked left and right and said, "It's up to you to decide to go to the Floating Sky City, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
"Ahhh "Lord Lisa is not stupid, and with a roll of her eyes, she understands Shuer's little conspiracy. The smart girl knew that there was no chance of winning in arguing with her brother, so she simply ignored Shuer's explanation, made a grasping and pinching movement with both hands, and said with an evil smile, "Stupid Saf, don't hide behind if you have the ability, come out for me, I want to teach you a good lesson, hahahaha." ”
"Begg, hate, don't bully me. With thick eyes and a book in her arms covering most of her face, Miss Saph timidly stepped out from behind Kelly and waved her hand weakly, "Shure, you're finally here." Ah, Dark, Yulia, hello. ”
"Oh, it's the beautiful Miss Saff. Dark's eyes lit up, and the rose skillfully turned on his fingertips, "I haven't seen you in more than two years, I'm really ......"
"Yikes. Not surprisingly, Dark's enthusiasm frightened the timid Saf, and the female swordswoman ran to Shur's side like lightning and skilfully hid behind his back.
Hmmm? No, Shul has his back to the others, so it's useless to hide here.
With this figured out, Saf turned around and hid in Shure's chest again.
Isn't right here, it's like getting into his arms, it's so embarrassing.
It is clear that shyness has completely destroyed the female swordsman's intelligence, and she has completely lost her knowledge of where to hide.
"Alas. Shul sighed deeply, took Saf's hand, asked her to stop around him, and patted Lisa lightly on the head with his other hand to stop her from continuing to bully, "Old friends have finally met, don't make trouble, okay." ”
