Chapter 9: The Avalanche Serpent

Levi stood at the top of the deck, looking down at the endless sea of clouds around him, and his heart was full of pride. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He patted the railing and pointed to the vast land below, "These are all my rivers and mountains......

Don't mention how beautiful it is.

I really didn't expect that I had lived for more than 20 years in my previous life and had never taken a plane to the sky, but in this life I could swim in the sea of clouds like this, and the things under my feet were still my own.

We're also people with private planes.

Levi unconsciously looked around, and he was satisfied.

No wonder he said that. The airship of the Roland world is really similar to the airplane in general appearance. It only has a main body, unlike an airship on Earth, which requires a nitrogen- or hydrogen-filled hull at the top, and no obvious propulsion at the tail. However, its flight principle is similar to that of airships and hot air balloons, relying on the buoyancy provided by itself.

The arcane mechanism installed on the airship replaces the role of the hull and propulsion device.

When Roland's airship was ready to fly, the forty-two arcane circles embedded in the surrounding area would automatically activate. First comes the gravity reduction circle, then the tail propulsion circle. When the airship moves to a certain speed with the help of the bottom wheels, a large streamlined light mask will immediately envelop the airship, which is its lift-off device and protective device.

The shape of the mask resembles a giant cigar, thin on both sides and thick in the middle, which is very aerodynamic. Its size is so large that when fully formed, the airship will only take up a tenth of it at most.

More than a dozen huge mana air sacs attached to the inner wall of the mask have the ability to absorb air and heat it.

This uses the principle of hot air ballooning. When the air is heated, it expands and its density decreases, allowing it to float automatically, providing lift. With the help of the Gravity Reduction Circle, its abilities are further expanded.

On the whole, Roland Airship is a strange aircraft that combines airplanes, hot air balloons, and airships.

Just as Levi was in a state of intoxication, a loud rumbling sound suddenly reached his ears. He felt his body tremble. Looking around, I noticed that the airship under my feet was also shaking.

Hurriedly looking down, he saw that the place where the sound came from was a valley surrounded by three mountains, and there was an avalanche there. Countless white ice and snow were surging at the moment, gathering three dragon-like waterfalls, surging towards the low ground in the middle. Looking down, Levi suddenly found a green thread swimming around in the depths of the valley. It's just that at this time, the airship has sailed out of the sky on this side, and his vision is blocked by the snowy mountains on one side, and he can no longer see what is inside.

In fact, the green line he saw was a giant snake hundreds of meters long.

This avalanche was also caused by it.

The serpent inhabits the foot of the mountain and is hibernating. But for some reason, it was buried deep in the ground, and its body was suddenly exposed to the snow. Fortunately, the afternoon sun shone on it, so that it regained some body temperature.

Sensing the coldness around him, the giant snake instinctively wanted to pursue light and heat.

What is the best way for a snake to achieve this? Naturally, climb to an unobstructed high place and take a comfortable sunbath.

Naturally, it intends to do the same.

Then, the avalanche appeared!

Previously, when it did this, it was just a small snake about two meters long. The place to climb is just a few meters above the ground on rocks. But now it has grown a thousand times in length, and the only place it can value is the snow-capped mountains around it. When climbing, the serpent's body rubs violently against the mountain rocks. The resulting tremors resonated with the surrounding snow and ice, causing the avalanche.

The serpent was swept down by countless snow and ice, and its huge body struggled in the sea of snow before being slammed back into the ground. More snow and ice smashed on its body one after another, crushing it firmly under the snow.

As its body temperature slowly dropped, the serpent gradually lost its ability to resist.

But where it is now, it's in the trough. When the winter passes, the place will thaw again, and I wonder if it will be able to wake up at that time.

What happened to it is not an isolated case. In this vast land, there are many creatures that have become huge overnight struggling in the ice and snow.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Levi at the moment.

In fact, even the matter of the giant snake has long been forgotten by him. Because it won't be long before the Limestone Collar arrives.

The airship moves very fast, and can travel about 100 kilometers in an hour, which is not slower than the average bird. Just looking at the scenery for a while, it has taken him from the hunting ground back to his current hometown.

It is only winter now, and the snow is falling in bursts, and most of the limestone territory belongs to the plains below. The low terrain makes it still half a month before the snow is closed, and the mountains and rivers are still clear.

Having traveled back and forth several times, Levi could now tell the location of Limestone City based on some markers on the ground.

After another minute or two, the airship was already over the city. Dense houses and alleys replace mountains and rivers. After a blink of an eye, a majestic castle appeared above the airship.

The mana airbag on the inner wall of the airship continued to shrink in size, driving the airship to lower its altitude, and it was about to land.

But when he saw the square in the center of the castle, Levi was surprised to find that there was another airship docked there.

Suddenly, a pattern on the deck of that airship caught his attention.

At the center of the motif is a glowing castle with mountains to the left and the endless sea to the right. Through the memories in his mind, Levi knew that the name of this pattern was - Edo Mountains and Seas, and it was the emblem of the Edo royal family!

The noble badge has a special meaning in this world. Whether it is the signing of a decree or the conclusion of a contract, it is necessary to affix the badge as a key step. And generally speaking, the artifact is engraved with its emblem, which often means that it is owned by the family represented by the coat of arms.

If so, then isn't the airship in front of him from the Edo royal family?

Levi figured this out and immediately walked from the deck to the cabin.

"Listen to me. When it was time to go down, half of them went with me, and the other half stayed. People who go with me, don't be so elated, they all have to cry and cry. Pick out a few and pretend to have been injured in this hunt. ”

The person in front of him had not yet woken up from his ignorance, and Levi shouted again: "The things of the airship can only move one-third." The rest, those who remain, will be guarded by me. I'll send someone to help you again. But until then, you must stay in the storehouse at the back, eating, drinking, and Lazar, and do not leave for a moment! Do you understand, do not leave for a moment! When the time comes, do not listen to everyone except me, who has brought people back here. Even if someone says that I sent him, don't pay attention to ......."
