Chapter Ninety-Nine:

Without speaking, Ron's expression tightened slightly.

As if he hadn't seen Ron's subtle expression, Richard still had a smile on his face.

"As I said before, after this incident, I will fulfill one of your wishes, you think carefully tonight, tomorrow morning at eight o'clock on the roof we will set off, you have already instructed Wilder what you need, you will go to him to get it later, I hope you will not be late." ”

"Yes, sir. Ron bowed.

"Hmm. Nodding, Richard turned and left the study.

When the door closed, Ron put down the book in his hand, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes......

The next day.

The early morning sun gradually rose, casting golden light in this mysterious huge forest.

Several fat flying creatures flapped their golden bats and slowly skimmed the treetops of the giant trees, and the melodious cries of 'hiss' echoed through the area.

The roof of a treehouse is the size of a football field.

The biting cold wind made Ron unconsciously squint his eyes and tighten the black cloak on his body to prevent the cold wind from pouring into his neck.

From the hem of the cloak lifted from time to time, you can faintly see that he is wearing pitch-black armor, and slender black bone spurs extend from the joints of his arms, looking extremely hideous.

He carried an equally black helmet in his hand, and a two-handed sword dangled from each side of his waist, both of which could be drawn at will.

His short hair, which was about to reach his shoulders, fluttered wildly in the wind, obscuring his vision from time to time.

Standing on the roof and waiting for about ten minutes, in the middle of the roof, Richard, dressed in a black robe, slowly rose out, wearing a hood on his head, hiding most of his face, only a pair of white eyes emitted a faint light curtain, which was clearly visible.

See someone coming. Ron clenched his right hand into a fist and pressed lightly to his chest, bending down slightly, respectfully.

"Your Excellency. ”

Without speaking, Richard nodded and clapped his hands.

'Smack. ’

Amid crisp applause, a black medium-sized sailboat broke through the clouds in the thick clouds in the air next to the roof, slowly appearing with white silk threads.

The shape of the sailboat is no different from that of a normal boat, with its black sails wide open and six slender oars on each side of the hull, which glide gently as the sailboat flies.

At the bow of the ship is a large wooden sculpture of a crow. The crow has a pair of white eyes, and its mouth is slightly open to see the fine teeth inside, which is somewhat similar to Richard's transformation.

Soon, the black sailboat flew over the roof, hovering gently beside the two men.

The wind pressure generated by the sailboat caused Ron's cloak to cling to his armor, and the hem of his garment made a loud 'whoosh, whoa'.

'Smack!'

The sailboat docked slowly, and a long boarding board suddenly dropped from the side of the ship, resting on the roof.

Richard strode towards the sails. Ron consciously followed.

In a few moments, the two of them set foot on the sailboat.

The planks were retracted, and the sailboat slowly turned around and began to take off rapidly.

Ron had just stepped onto the deck of the sailboat. I felt a sudden shock to the hull of the ship, and then the whole body sank suddenly.

In his field of vision, the huge treehouse below began to shrink rapidly, and the originally towering and huge Blade Forest could only see a faint piece of silver. It stands out in the surrounding large black forest.

As the height of the sailboat increases, the scenery below becomes smaller and smaller, and you can almost only see the general outline.

The morning sun is getting hotter and hotter. The light shone on the deck with a large golden glow.

However, despite the increase in height, Ron found that he did not feel much strong wind on the sailboat, and the temperature was very pleasant, as if it was no different from that on the ground.

"We'll be at our destination at noon, you can rest first, there's a room in the cabin, find it yourself." ”

A voice suddenly appeared behind him, but it was Richard.

"Yes, sir. Ron nodded. "I'd like to stand on deck for a while, though, for I haven't been on a flying ship yet. ”

"That's up to you, though, be careful not to make too much noise, I'll need to think about something in a minute. Richard casually commanded.

"Understand, sir, I'll pay attention. ”

Hearing Ron's response, Richard waved his hand and walked towards the cabin of the sailboat.

Looking at the closed hatch, Ron turned his gaze once more to the skylight outside the deck.

At this time, he didn't know what height he was now, only that the flat earth had faintly appeared in a slightly curved arc, and a faint light blue could be seen in the distance.

Cautiously aisle, Ron looked down at the side of the ship, his eyes swept over countless thin white clouds, and he could vaguely see the mottled earth.

Some black mountains of different lengths are like black caterpillars lying in the green lawn.

He looked up at the black galleon with a complicated expression.

"It's no wonder that wizards mostly exist in legends, and this level of flying tools is simply an unbelievable existence for most ordinary people, and they can't even imagine it. ”

At this point, Ron had a feeling that the development of this world seemed to have long exceeded the level of technology on Earth to some extent.

Thinking about something unrelated, the sailboat seemed to be moving slowly but rapidly.

I don't know how long it took, but the sailboat, which had been flying smoothly, slammed into a sudden, and its altitude suddenly dropped.

The sudden jolt woke Ron aware, and he looked up in the direction of the ship's bow.

In the far sky, a large thick cloud layer of pitch black faintly appeared, and faint incandescent electric light flickered out of the clouds.

"Thunderclouds?" Ron frowned slightly.

However, as the distance approached, Ron's face changed slightly, and in his field of vision, he faintly saw that in the thick clouds covered with thunder and lightning, there seemed to be two slender and huge figures entangled.

The snake-like figures tore at each other with a thunderous sound, and large swaths of gold mixed with black scales slanted down like rain.

"Roar!!

With a dull roar, the two figures suddenly separated, and then slammed into each other again, making a steely orgruff.

Blood and rain fill the clouds with a sense of blood and violence.

"What's that?"

As Ron was stunned, Richard stood quietly behind him.

"It's an electric ratchet, which often appears in thunderstorm clouds at high altitudes, which is a normal natural phenomenon, so there is no need to worry about danger. ”

Hearing the voice, Ron turned his head and saluted slightly before he opened his mouth in doubt.

"Your Excellency, are you saying it's a natural phenomenon?"

"That's right. Richard smiled and nodded. "You've been in my study for half a month, and if you've read Nature's Strange Landscapes, there's a record of this phenomenon on page 347. ”

Without speaking, Ron turned his gaze again to the two large snake-like creatures in the thunderstorm cloud, which he could hardly imagine as a normal natural sight.

The blood and scales were so clear, and the sound of flesh crashing kept reaching his ears, and it was no different from a living thing.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Richard said calmly. "After this rain cloud, our purpose is here, so pay attention to your words and actions, put on your helmet, and try not to look at things that you shouldn't see. (To be continued.) )
