Chapter 238: The Sky Boat
"That's ...... A ship?"
On the border between Ikor and Freden, many soldiers raised their heads and couldn't help but widen their eyes as they looked at the strange sight that suddenly appeared in the night sky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because of the distance, in their eyes, the image of the entire ice boat is actually very unclear. But a shining figure in the sky was enough to attract their attention.
There were still sentinels on both sides, after all, who held up their binoculars and took it all into view.
I saw that an ice-blue ship, as if sailing from the depths of the clouds, looked particularly dazzling in the dark night. Through the magnification of the telescope, the spires of the iceship, the sails ...... All the delicate details came to the sentinel's eye. At that moment, the sentry even thought that he had seen some crystal carved artwork.
Can...... The sentinels all looked incredulous.
This is a ship flying in the sky!
They even suspect that they are hallucinating. The soldiers on the side also came over, exchanged binoculars, and took turns looking in the direction of the ice boat. However, every soldier who saw it looked at the shadow in the night sky with a stunned face. Some of them muttered to themselves, even clasped their hands, and had a bit of a desire to pray.
A crystal ship appeared in the sky......
What does this mean?
The soldiers did not understand. The sight was completely different from what they had seen before, and as such, they did not associate it with magic, but felt as if they had become witnesses to a miracle.
Soon, everyone looked up and looked at that blue shadow in the sky. They felt as if the ship had some magical power, and they didn't even dare to take their eyes off it, as if, in the blink of an eye, the ship would come to naught and disappear from the cloudy sky.
Be...... Is it really a miracle?
Where does it come from? Who lives in the ship? What kind of people can make a flying ship, is it...... Is there another world in the sky?
For a moment, some soldiers couldn't help but think about it.
"It's moving!" Suddenly, someone noticed that something was wrong and shouted.
I saw that the ship, which was still suspended and stationary just now, suddenly began to move at this moment.
Another soldier took the binoculars and looked more closely, but soon, as if he had discovered a new continent, he took a deep breath and said in disbelief: "Wait...... There's something next to it!"
In his eyes, this miraculous ship seemed to be surrounded by some strange dark shadows.
On closer inspection, the number of these shadows is still huge, a bit like some kind of smoke or flock of birds. They surrounded the iceship like some strange vassal, not daring to get too close to the iceship, but they would not disperse and decorate the incredible ship in their own way.
Suddenly, the image of the ice boat in their minds became mysterious again...... Or rather, much evil.
An iceship surrounded by strange black shadows appeared on a gloomy night, slowly flying over the border between the two countries.
What does this mean?
However, just as more and more attention was being drawn, suddenly, the ice ship in the night sky changed again.
As if drunk, its otherwise smooth progress became staggering, and even ...... There's also a feeling of flipping around. Correspondingly, its flight speed has suddenly become much faster, like a cat that has been kicked in the ass, and in a panic, it runs away.
The soldiers on the border line were stunned.
I don't know why, at that moment, they all suddenly had a feeling of shattered illusions. It was like an angel flying in the sky, suddenly turning his head and striking at them.
Like a mouthful of old blood in the throat, the expressions of the soldiers of the two countries have never been so similar as they are today.
And so, under the watchful eye of their strange gaze, the iceship rolled in the sky, and in a few moments, it disappeared from their sight and disappeared.
And only then did some of the soldiers react, pointing in the direction where the iceboat had disappeared, and exclaiming, "Over there...... Isn't it the Valley of the Abyss?"
Suddenly, the other soldiers also came back to their senses, and suddenly showed some frightened expressions.
Of course, what happened here in the garrison of the border line was far away in the iceboat, and Benjamin and his party knew nothing.
At the very beginning, the moment the iceboat was exposed, Benjamin's mood was a little confused. There is no doubt that the eyes of all the soldiers will be attracted, although I don't know where they will be associated, but from a pessimistic point of view, Benjamin feels that his whereabouts may be exposed.
Play with ......
"Mr. Benjamin. At that time, Frank on the side couldn't help but speak, "As a group of stowaways, we ...... Seems like a bit too high-profile, right?"
- The mages also thought that Benjamin did it on purpose.
Hearing this, Benjamin wanted to cry without tears. However, it is useless to think about it. At that moment, both intellect and instinct were telling him the same thing, please run quickly.
So, he came back to his senses, and had no time to complain about anything else, so he quickly flew forward with the iceboat. However, for them, the speed of the iceship still seems to be a little slow. Although the bat monster didn't stick up to attack, it still couldn't get rid of it. At the same time, the border line below was flickering, and it was probably not so easy for them to get out of the soldier's sight.
So, after flying for a while, Benjamin decided to speed up.
As for the method of speeding up, it is the same as the way they drove the boat before.
All the mages chanted spells together, using similar wind magic, pushing the iceship forward at an accelerated pace. However, after all, the iceship flies in the sky, and the structure is not as reasonable as that of a real ship, and it becomes a little difficult to maintain balance under the action of various forces. As a result, the speed was faster, but the iceboat also became swaying from side to side, and almost turned in a circle.
In this way, Benjamin felt like he was on a roller coaster, still the most terrifying kind.
The mage in the boat was shaken unconscious after a while, unable to continue maintaining his magic, but by inertia, the iceship was still flung forward like a shoe off his hand. Benjamin was also unable to maintain his flight, so the iceboat began to fall as it flew forward.
Although he was also shaken dizzy, he knew that if he continued like this, the ship would sink.
Therefore, after the surrounding bat monsters were a little shaken off, Benjamin lifted his magic, and the huge ice boat disappeared into the air like a mirage. Benjamin and his party also began to fall, and the bat monsters wanted to chase after them, but they really didn't like the appearance of low altitudes, and after chasing for a while, they turned around and left.
The whole person is in the air, falling in a straight line, and Benjamin also has the feeling that a roller coaster turns into a jumping machine in seconds. Looking at the other mages who were also falling, he hurriedly recited a spell, summoned water vapor, gradually slowed down everyone's fall, and finally, lifted everyone and those scattered luggage.
Benjamin then observed his surroundings.
The runaway iceboat led them across the border and into the territory of Freeden. Where they are now, it should be impossible for the soldiers on the border line to chase after them. Therefore, he also relaxed a little, used the little spiritual power he had left, supported everyone, and gradually landed on the ground.
Confirming that there was no shortage of people or things, Benjamin looked up and began to observe his surroundings.
It was a somewhat eerie wood, and they had gone through several layers of canopy when they landed. Judging by the footage seen just before landing, it seems to be some valley in Freeden.
A wooded valley......
"Where are we now?" so Benjamin asked the system in his mind.
The system popped up and replied, "A place called the Valley of the Abyss." ”
