Chapter 172: Arriving in the Town (Second Update)
Of course, Su Fei also knew that he was thinking too much, even if he bought a deck of playing cards in Taobao, not to mention teaching the two of them the rules of fighting the landlord, under this kind of wind, I am afraid that as long as the cards leave his hand, they will be blown away.

Not long after the wind drifted, the two ladies tied up their hair with hair bands, after all, it was still a little uncomfortable to be blown by the wind, although this also made the hot air balloon a little less interesting, but Su Fei didn't enjoy this scenery now, he was busy.
He leaned on the edge of the hanging basket, poked his head out every once in a while, and used the system's photo function to take a picture of the overlook of the ground.
In the air, Xiaobai flew around the hot air balloon, and from time to time landed on the edge of the hanging basket to rest, and when the sun rose overhead, Su Fei saw a conspicuous landmark - Thousand Faces Lake.
Located directly south of the town of Rafael, Lake Thousand Faces is famous for its fish production, and if you pass by land from the villages near Lake Thousand Faces by land, you can see skewers of fish hanging on the ground in front of almost every house waiting to be further dried.
At this time of year, the area around Lake Senmian is filled with a strong smell of fish, and fishermen are counting on the harvest to survive the winter.
Of course, Su Fei and his party passed through Qianmian Lake in the air in a hot air balloon, and they couldn't see the scene of hot fishing, which was hundreds of meters in the air, and with the naked eye, the people on the ground were only the size of ants, not to mention those fish.
"Anna, the hot air balloon is a little bit westward. After taking the aerial photo, Sophie looked at the map again and said to Anna.
"Good. Anna shifted the weight bag from the hot air balloon basket to the other side and began to use her ability to create a wind that blew westward.
Although the wind created by Anna was much weaker than the natural wind at high altitude, this was not blowing against the natural wind, but giving the hot air balloon a westward component.
The hot air balloon gradually deviated from its previous course due north and flew westward.
Soon, Su Fei saw another landmark, the Giant Pupil City, the reason why this is another landmark, is because the shape of the Giant Pupil City is like a big open eye.
If you look at the Giant Pupil City and the Thousand Faces Lake in the south, it is like two eyes open on the ground, the Thousand Faces Lake is a big eyeball, and the Giant Pupil City is a small eyeball.
When on the ground, people can only guess by their own imagination, but now Su Fei can see clearly, looking down from the air, the nickname of the two-eyed bead is really worthy of the name, but it is just a big and small eye.
"Anna, you're ready to land. "Although this hand-drawn map is also for reference only, it will not be too different, according to the instructions on the map, the giant pupil city is not far from Raphael Town, and it will take a long time for the hot air balloon to land.
Anna turned down the oil lamp and watched the ground gradually enlarge, she began to use her ability again, after all, this altitude is no longer as big as the natural wind just now, and if you want the hot air balloon to fly in the direction of the reservation, you still need a certain amount of external force.
By the time the balloon had descended about 100 meters above the ground, the buildings on the ground were clearly visible, and a few kilometers away from them, there was a town.
Sophie had heard of the town of Raphael, which had always been very prosperous because of its relationship with Raphael, and many merchants would stop here to taste the delicacies that only Raphael had in town.
At this time, Su Fei suddenly saw a line of very conspicuous silver on the dark green grass.
The metallic silver glow was very dazzling, and Su Fei recognized it, this was the team of knights who had come to Tongjiao Street to find Su Fei before.
It seems that they are preparing to go to Raphael Town to wait for the rendezvous.
Isn't the speed slow, Su Fei thought about it for a while, the hot air balloon flew for a total of one morning, and this group of knights set off the morning before, but after all, they didn't carry a carriage, and of course it was much faster than a carriage to ride a horse directly.
The hot air balloon continued to land, and Sophie asked Anna to keep the hot air balloon in the air about thirty meters in the air, slowly approaching the group of knights.
"Team, captain!" among the knights in silver armor, someone immediately saw this big guy flying in the air.
The knight at the head looked towards the hot air balloon, and he immediately pulled the reins and stopped the horses.
"What's that?" he asked, looking warily at the hot air balloon in the air.
"I've never seen it. The knight beside him shook his head.
However, at the back of the procession, a knight rode to the front and said to the knight at the head, "Captain, I have seen this thing!"
"Oh, what is this?" asked the captain.
"No, I don't know, I just saw it. The knight explained, "It was in King's Landing, and I happened to be patrolling the walls of the Red Keep that day, and I saw this thing flying over King's Landing, and there must have been quite a few people in the city at that time. ”
"But it doesn't look like something that moves?" said one of the knights, "how did it fly without wings?"
The knights expressed their confusion that in their concept, only birds with wings could fly in the air.
While the knights were talking, Su Fei leaned out of the hanging basket, waved his hand to the ground, and shouted, "Hey, it's me!"
Thirty meters high and shouted down, the knights could naturally hear clearly, they had all seen Su Fei, and they recognized it immediately.
Before the knights could surprise him as he flew into the sky, Su Fei made a gesture to them and shouted, "I will land on the flat ground in front of me, you guys follow quickly!"
After about half an hour, the hot air balloon slowly approached the ground and landed on the flat grass five or six hundred meters away from the town.
The knights also chased after the horses here, and when they saw Sophie and the two ladies coming out of the hanging basket, the knights also turned over and dismounted.
Looking at the shocked expressions on the faces of these knights, Su Fei knew that it was inevitable to introduce them to the new gadget of hot air balloons.
When the captain of the knights heard Su Fei say that he had only set off from King's Landing this morning, he stared at this strange-looking big bag with wide eyes and said, "Mr. Su Fei, you, you really just left this morning?"
"Of course, what am I lying to you for?" Su Fei replied casually.
"No, sorry, that's not what I meant. The knight immediately realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly said, "I mean, this thing...... It's really able to fly, and it's faster than we can ride a horse...... This ......"
He probably couldn't think of words to describe the emotion in his heart, but it was also the first time he had seen a flying vehicle, and the worldview he had formed would inevitably be impacted.
After all, the sky has been the territory of birds since ancient times, and how can humans fly to the sky without wings?
"Alright, as for the hot air balloon, you will see more in the future, and now I can go to the town to meet the person His Highness asked me to find. ”
Su Fei looked at the knights in front of him, and said to the captain: "By the way, I'm afraid it's not safe for my hot air balloon to be placed here, can you divide two people to help me take care of it for two or three days? Of course, if your manpower is very tight, forget it." ”
The captain of the Silver Armor did not refuse, saying, "We are just going to the north on a routine basis, and it is not an important task. ”
Immediately, he named the two youngest in the group of knights, who really looked like recruits, although Su Fei understood that the captain didn't want the veteran to waste time in such a place, so he chose the newcomers.
But guarding the hot air balloon is not a difficult task, so Su Fei has no opinion.
After a little rest and tidying up, Sophie took Anna and Nicole towards the nearby town of Raphael.
