The source of the Nalamia River is the Hajin Mountains in the northern part of the Yala Continent, and the melting snow water from the southern part of the towering Hato Mountains flows down the river, diagonally through the western part of the Orc Grassland in a northwest-southeast direction, and then flows into the Glitter Forest, turning 90 degrees in the middle of the Glitter Forest, turning southwest into the Sea of the Sea, and finally flowing into the Sea of Mist.

The Nalamia River is the fifth longest river in the world in Yala, with a total length of 2,500 kilometers and three tributaries ranging from 1,000 to 1,300 kilometers each, covering the western part of the continent together with the Bayergas River, which also originates in the northern part of the Yuren Mountains. The average depth of the Naramia River is about twenty-five meters, the deepest part is even more than fifty meters, and the shallowest part is eight meters deep, and the width of the river is also amazing, in the year of good water, the width of the downstream is 14 kilometers, even in the middle of the flash forest, the average width of the river is close to four kilometers, even the narrowest place is close to two kilometers, and in bad weather, it is difficult to see the situation on the other side of the river.

The original location was expected to be thirty kilometers to the south, thirty kilometers away from where you are now, where the river runs through a canyon that is three kilometers wide but the top of the canyon is less than eight hundred meters apart. But the plan can never catch up with the change, and if you go around 30 kilometers to the south, and then return 30 kilometers to the north after crossing the river, it will be too much time wasted, so you can only find a way to cross the river here.

"What about this. Ten people sat in a row by the river, staring melancholy at the rushing water, and even Elad, who was most familiar with the forest, could not do anything: "It really can't be done, there is only a detour." ”

"Is it okay to make a raft?" Dora looked around for a suitable tree, "The balsa wood over there is good, it's good for rafting." ”

"It's better not to. Pannis shook his head and said: "There are a lot of aquatic monsters in this section of the river, anacondas, crocodiles, spiny fish and swordfish, these monsters are too large, and they will attack from under the water, we can't attack them in advance, and they only need to attack twice at will, the raft will be destroyed, after falling, it is estimated that few of us can go ashore alive." ”

"Pannis, you said you've been here before, how did you get there?" Catherine asked suddenly, "You must have passed through here before." ”

"Yes, I did. Pannis shrugged helplessly: "We also climbed through the Chisha Canyon, after all, with such a wide river, there are too many accidents that may occur when crossing the river." ”

"Actually, it would be nice if I could get there. Vivien said thoughtfully, "Then I can set up teleportation arrays on both sides, and then teleport everyone over." ”

"It's a bit unsafe to go by one person, and if you want to pass, you have to go with two people. Pannis rubbed his chin lightly and said in deep thought, "If it was just two people, maybe it wouldn't be so difficult." ”

"Is there a way?" Catherine's eyes lit up and she asked, "How did you get there?"

"It's really impassable on the water. Pannis slowly raised his head and looked up at the sky: "Why don't you try to pass from the sky?"

"Will you fly or do you have an airship?" Dora squinted at Pannis, "Of course it would be nice if we could fly over, but no one of us can fly." ”

"You don't have a childhood when you look at you. Pannis pouted, "There's a toy you must not have played with when you were a kid." ”

"Kites. Catherine clapped her hands heavily, "You mean people hang under kites and float over? But how?"

Vivien can just cast a gravity spell on herself, increasing her weight little by little, until the gravity is greater than the kite's buoyancy, and then it will slowly fall. Pannis explains: "Now the key is how to get the kite to bring two people over. ”

"Pannis, you think slowly, Dora come over and help me make kites together. Catherine jumped on the spot and pointed to the balsa wood that Dora had just mentioned: "Go and chop some balsa wood." ”

"Chop a few more. Pannis instructed, "Let's make it sturdy and bigger, and we don't have to worry about the weight." ”

"But what if it's too heavy? When it's high, it's okay if it's windy, but it's too heavy to fly when it's on the ground. Catherine asked suspiciously, and as soon as she asked, she patted her forehead: "It's stupid, there is Vivien's wind attribute magic." ”

"That's right. Pannis replied, "I'll carry Vivien on my back in a moment." ”

"Don't. Vivien awkwardly rejected Pennis's offer.

Pannis was stunned for a moment, turned his head to stare into Vivien's eyes, and was silent for a while before nodding: "I understand, then the two of us are fixed on the kite separately, and it will not touch your body." ”

"I'm sorry. Vivien lowered her head a little embarrassed and whispered, "Don't think about it, I don't mean anything else, I'm just ......"

"I understand, I won't think about it. Pannis smiled widely, "I'll wait for you to tell me yourself." ”

"Thank you. Vivien nodded vigorously, "Maybe that day will come soon." ”

"Very honored. Pannis bent down and stroked his chest: "I look forward to that day." ”

The origin of the kite in the continent of Yarra is unknown, and it was first born in the middle of the Goblin Empire in the Second Century. The goblins are physically weak, but they can drive the steel colossus tens of meters high to fight all kinds of magical beasts, and they can often have the upper hand in battle. But the steel colossus also has a serious problem, because the height is too high, and in the event of an accident, it is difficult for the person who manipulated the colossus to survive, and the accident is often equated with death. Legend has it that a driver used inspiration from seeing his clothes blown up by the wind to make the first rudimentary kite out of thin, tough leather and special light metal in order to save his life in the event of an accident. It's a pity that the kite didn't save his life, in a battle, the troops he led were easily destroyed by a certain demigod-level demonic beast, and before the kite could play its role, he had already died from the demonic beast

Attack. However, although he died, the idea of kites was still alive and well, and because it was easy to make, it became one of the favorite toys of children.

Most of the members of the team of ten had played with this toy as children, and they had some impressions of kite making, plus everyone had good strength, whether it was cutting trees or fixing frames, it was easy.

The frame of the kite is made of balsa wood, as the name suggests, this wood is very tough, and at the same time very light, it is the best wood for making rafts and boats, a trunk five meters long and thigh-thick, even ordinary people can easily hold up three or four with one hand. Now it seems that this material is also the best for kites. As for the kite's skin, Pennis, at the risk of being killed by Catherine, personally dismantled a spare Kathak skin sleeping bag worth a hundred gold coins. Kathak is an aquatic monster with dense skin, strong waterproof and airtight, used to make a sleeping bag, waterproof and warm at the same time, even if it is stormy outside, hiding in a sleeping bag can be completely unaffected. Pannis carefully peeled off the skins of the sleeping bag, which are thin and waterproof, and the two skins are firmly connected together by special means.

By the time this was done, the others had already secured the frame of the kite. The bird-shaped kite frame lay flat on the ground, and Catherine was very uneasy to examine each joint to make sure that there was no chance of an accident. Pannis stretched the skinned animal on the frame, attached several small traps to the frame, and fastened it with ropes large enough to hold the weight of five adults.

"The biggest problem right now. Catherine's voice was a little unwilling: "We don't have that long rope." The 100-meter-long ropes carried by 10 people add up to only 16, more than 1,500 meters, and they can't reach the other side at all. ”

"Enough. Pannis comforted: "There is no need to stretch the rope enough to the other side of the river, just send us high enough, and at the highest point, we can adjust the gravity and find the speed of the fall to loosen the rope, and we rely on the wind and inertia enough to fly to the opposite bank." ”

"That would be dangerous. Catherine said uneasily, "Without any control, who knows where you will fly." ”

"Rest assured. Pannis replied with a smile, "Don't forget that we can use gravity to adjust the angle and speed of the fall, so it's easy to find the right place to land." I've done this kind of thing before, just a few kilometers away, a few hundred meters high, and I can be accurate to ten meters. ”

"In any case, safety comes first. Catherine would unfold the most terrible nagging patterns at such times, and all kinds of instructions and reminders were constantly instilled into Pannis's ears. It wasn't until Pannis's gambling swear that Vivien would be safe, that Catherine left the nagging mode and said dissatisfiedly, "I want you to guarantee the safety of both of you, not just Vivien's." ”

"I'm not going to die. Pannis muttered quietly.

"That's not going to work either. Catherine looked left and right, no one paid attention to this, and then lowered her voice and said: "I don't know why you are obviously dead but can appear intact, but death is not a joke, and you don't need to experience it deliberately, so I want you to promise that your own safety will not be a problem." ”

"Well, I promise. Pannis still had a smile on his face at first, but the smile disappeared little by little under Catherine's forced gaze, and finally became serious, and nodded very seriously: "I will do my best to protect myself and Vivien." ”

"Be careful. Catherine was finally satisfied, patted Pannis's arm lightly, turned to Vivien, who had been immersed in carving the circle, and said, "Is your circle carved?"

"It's done. Vivien clapped her hands, and an invisible hand hovering beside her, which had been in the exact same motion as hers, dissolved into nothingness, and the tools in her hand fell on her outstretched hand. Vivien finally checked the two-way teleportation circle on one side of the ground and the Mithril template on the other end of the circle, and after trying to activate it, she confirmed that the circle was working properly, so she cherished the Mithril template and used a rope to firmly attach herself to the kite with the help of Lina.

"Alright, let's go. Pannis, too, held himself in place and said to Vivien, "You can get the wind." ”

As Vivien whispered, a constant gust of wind appeared out of thin air, blowing on the kite's skin. The skin that had eaten the wind floated in place under the action of the force, fluttering and flying high into the air.
