Chapter XVII
At Frandi's insistence, the pressure cooker joined the baggage. It adds another weight to the already heavy luggage.
Early the next morning, the four of Flandy and his family sent their luggage to the magic airship. Lawrence didn't go to work today, and tomorrow his two children will be leaving him. As a father, I naturally have a lot of advice.
Frandy and Anne didn't go out either, and the family spent the whole day at home. Lawrence and Amya carefully went through all the classmates, teachers, partners, and friends they had met in the imperial capital, and then wrote down their contact information on a parchment scroll. It was given to Frandi.
Parchment rolls have been preserved much longer than paper, and these are the contacts of the husband and wife in the imperial capital, although more than ten years have passed, and the situation has changed. I don't know if I'll be able to get in touch with it, but it's always good to do some preparation.
............
It's finally time to leave, and Brandy doesn't have Warcraft meat to eat for breakfast today. Because the pressure cooker for making Warcraft meat has been put on the magic airship with the luggage. Ted and Lilia also had breakfast in the big dining room today. After breakfast, the seven children came to the small square with their parents.
Residents from all over the island came to see them off, and the small square was very lively. Ladies and gentlemen. The uncles and aunts touched the heads of the seven children who were about to go on a long journey, and they all sent blessings and hopes.
Even the little fat man Vito, who is usually not very popular. Today, he was not scolded or reprimanded, but they were all cheering for him.
The children got on the magic airship first, and then the archmage Algernon led the four archmagicians to also get on the airship, these four archmages were Algernon's experimental assistants, and they had been following Algernon, who could be regarded as his disciples. Usually in the island of Pusal is basically faceless. I've always been researching magic in the Magic Tower.
Today, as usual, the island of Psalal is sunny and the sun is shining. As everyone watched, four violent hurricanes erupted from beneath the walls of the magic airship. With a glimmer of fire in the wind, the magic airship slowly rose into the air.
The residents looked up at the magic airship and waved goodbye to them. The magic airship flew higher and higher until it disappeared from view.
............
The magic airship flies very smoothly. It's a pity that there is no glass to see the view outside. This made Flandi a little regretful. There was no air in the boat, it felt a little stuffy, and the children had just left with their parents. hasn't eased up yet, and the interest is not high one by one. Sitting in a heavy, soft back chair, he doesn't talk much.
At this time, the Grand Magister Algernon came over from the mechanical room, and when he saw that the children were a little wilted, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Children, you are the future of Psal. This time you will go to Oskaia University, you will meet a lot of new friends and learn a lot of knowledge.
It was also the place where your parents used to study. Don't be unhappy, life is a long road, and this is just the first step. Like eagles, spread your wings and soar. Don't let a tiny island of Pusal hold you back. Only when we go out can we know how wide the world is. “
Flandi has an adult heart, which is naturally different from several other children. Ted and Lilia have always lived with Algernon. It's just that it's a little uncomfortable to leave the familiar environment suddenly. Anne has Frandi by her side and psychological support. Only Vito the little fat man, Gustav, and the little girl Katrina are the ones who have truly left their relatives.
"Old man, can we see Abba and Mommy? I miss them so much. "It's Ted, who and Lilia's parents are in the Imperial Capital, and they haven't seen each other in years.
"Of course, they all serve in the imperial capital. And your grandpa and grandma, you can be reunited this time. ”
"Great, I haven't seen Grandpa and Grandma yet!" Ted clapped his hands in delight.
"Hahaha. Algernon laughed and said, "It's not that I haven't seen it, but you were too young to remember." ”
"Have I seen that?" Ted scratched his head, he really didn't remember. "Have you seen that Lilia too?"
"You were born in the Imperial Capital, and you were only three years old when you came to Psal, and Lilia was only a year old. Your parents accompanied you for a few years and then went back to the imperial capital. So you don't have an impression of Grandpa and Grandma," Algernon explained.
"How long will it take, old man? When he heard that he could see his parents, Ted couldn't wait to get to the imperial capital right away.
"Probably tomorrow morning. To fly for a day and a night. You little ones don't make a noise. The four Grand Magicians are going to meditate to pilot the airship and need to be quiet. ”
"Okay, we're not noisy. The children all nodded in agreement.
There are twenty seats in the boat, and one of them is a great magician in the mechanical room who is responsible for monitoring the work of the machinery. The other three great magicians took turns meditating. to pilot the course of the airship. With Algernon and seven children, there are several empty seats. Only two seats are already full of luggage, so they don't look cramped.
The airship is very smooth most of the time, with only occasional slight jolts. Because he couldn't see the outside, Flandi didn't know how high and how fast the airship was flying.
Vito, the little fat man sitting behind Flandy, poked Flandi with his fingers. He whispered, "Flandy, it's so boring." I want to hang out. ”
Brandy was speechless. also whispered back: "We're flying in the sky now, how can we go out and play." ”
The little fat man was taken aback, stared at his little eyes and said in horror: "We are flying in the sky now?
"Didn't you see a magic airship flying yesterday?
"Then I'll fly? Vito's eyes widened.
Also, the magic airship entered directly on the ground, and the airship was completely enclosed. It's normal not to feel like it's flying.
"Anyway, you can't get out, so you better stay honest. ”
"Alas. The little fat man sighed. Tangled said: "But it's really boring." ”
"I'll teach you a good way to be bored, and you won't be bored. Frandy said mysteriously with a smile.
"What's the best way to do it? Teach me. ”
"Sleep, you won't be bored when you sleep, anyway, there is still a day and a night, don't you like to sleep the most?"
The little fat man's eyes lit up. He asked cautiously, "Won't the Grand Magus scold me when I sleep?"
He thought it was the same as the classroom.
"As long as you don't speak, honestly, Your Excellency the Great Magus will never scold you. You can sleep as hard as you want!" Frandie replied amused.
"That's great!" Vito, the little fat man who got the good news, was overjoyed and immediately closed his eyes.
It is worthy of Vito, who is called Piggy. It didn't take long for a slight snoring to be heard.
............
There are 32 hours a day in this world, a full third more than the Earth in the previous life, and the bulkhead of the magic airship is inlaid with a magic timer with 32 small squares on it. There was a small flame floating in each cell.
Each flame represents an hour, and when the flame turns from white to orange, then red, then purple, and finally black, it means that the hour has passed.
When the fifteenth flame turns black, it means that it is already noon outside. The children were hungry except for Vito, who was already asleep. They all took out the lunch that had been prepared for a long time and ate it.
Children's emotions come and go quickly. By the time lunch was over, the feeling of being away from home for the first time had faded. It's starting to be lively again. However, I remember Algernon's advice not to speak loudly.
If you do one thing in a day. It will pass quickly, but if you wait, it will feel like the time is getting longer and longer.
You can't go out to play, you can only whisper in the airship. Romani had a long day with his friends. When the 24th flame of the magic timer turned black after dinner, everyone was sleepy.
There was no bed, so I had to sit in my seat for the night, but luckily the back chair was very soft and comfortable. The children are not very tall. I didn't think there was anything unacceptable.
Poor little fat Vito had slept all day, but when it was time to go to bed, he was so refreshed that he couldn't sleep with his eyes closed. And the friends have already fallen asleep. He was left alone to suffer in agony......
There was nothing to say all night except Vito.
When Frandy was about to wake up, the magic airship shook slightly. Grand Magician Algernon opened his meditative eyes. Announce to everyone: "Imperial capital...... It's here. ”
