CHAPTER XXXI

What's the most amazing way to fly in the world?

By plane, hot air balloon, paramotor, bungee jumping?

Flying mounts, own wings, magical anti-gravity, vindictive spirit, stepping into the void?

People may have imagined all kinds of strange and incredible ways of flying, but probably no one would have thought of such a thing as "flying in the belly of a god". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's incredible!"

Looking out through the window deliberately left by Sui Xiong, the long sky was clear, but the strange landscape below was like a sea of clouds and mist, Lei couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking around like a greedy child, wanting to imprint this scenery that ordinary people would never see in their lives.

After a long time, when his eyes were a little sore, he left the window, returned to his "seat", and asked Steele, who was dozing off, "Why don't you feel excited?

Steele yawned and said in a daze, "How can I fly so high...... It's all flying up to the clouds......"

"Then why aren't you excited?"

"I had a headache yesterday and didn't sleep well...... Don't bother me!"

Ray suddenly realized that this guy Steele had been bound in a tight circle from the night before yesterday to last night to prevent evil thoughts from having evil thoughts, but of course she couldn't restrain her messy thoughts, and basically spent the whole day in the process of "having evil thoughts - headaches - being honest - and then having evil thoughts". It wasn't until the final hoop was modified that peace was obtained.

At that time, she was not tired because she had to climb a mountain. When I have my leisure now, the accumulated tiredness comes to my heart, and I am not sleepy, but there is really a ghost!

After figuring it out, he didn't bother Steele and took the book to pass the time.

Born into an aristocracy, he had a habit of carrying books with him, but in fact he rarely read. Over the years, he has either fought and killed or traveled around, and even if he has some leisure, he will most likely urge himself to exercise hard and prepare for the next adventure and battle. However, the current environment makes him really afraid to exercise, and as a result, he can only read books.

The work of the book is exquisite, the yellow-brown parchment is tightly framed with silver, and it will never be deformed. The black cover is inlaid with gold wire, and the fine stones used for decoration add a touch of luxury.

But for those who really know it, the signature of the copyist under the title is where the real value of the book lies.

The book was copied by a legendary mage - of course, at the time he copied it, he was a young scholar and had not yet truly stepped into the mystical halls of magic.

There is no papermaking in the main plane, and the materials used for books are mostly parchment. Each piece of paper means that a piece of sheepskin of the same size is consumed, and perhaps more valuable labor than the sheepskin itself. This makes books very expensive, and the average civilian person rarely sees them once a year.

In addition to sheepskin, cloth is also a good writing material. However, it is not suitable for making books, and is generally only used to make things such as notices and bounty lists.

Writing on paper was a technical task, and apart from the use of spells invented specifically for this purpose, it had to be copied by hand by scholars. The spell records are neatly written, but they lack artistic beauty, and therefore have no value other than books. Some strict collectors even admit only manuscripts as books, dismissing books written by magic.

And the one in Lei's hand, although it is just an ordinary epic, is nothing special in terms of content. But its beautiful brushstrokes can be called the embodiment of art in itself, and the identity of the author makes it much more valuable, enough to enter the ranks of "treasures".

When Lei left home, he was alone, and apart from the sword in his hand, only this book was precious. Over the years, he has been in exile, but even when he was at his worst, he never thought of selling the book.

If the sword is his comrade-in-arms, then the book is the solace of his soul, only when he sees this book, he will remember the peaceful and peaceful life of the past, and he will not feel that his youth is just a dream.

Although, he rarely reads.

The sunlight shining through the window was clear and bright, and Lei An sat quietly in his seat, seriously turning the pages of the epic in his hand, chewing on the thrilling history contained in the poems, and sometimes admiring the poet's carefully carved words. If you don't know his origin, just look at his appearance at the moment, he is clearly a scholar, and he is full of aristocratic elegance.

When Steele woke up, she saw such a scene.

Lei's appearance is actually very good-looking, and the "plastic surgery" that Sui Xiong gave him was by no means indiscriminate, but meticulously carved according to the principles of art, so that his face was almost perfect except for a slight sense of incongruity that was deliberately carved. And as the days passed, this sense of incongruity slowly disappeared after his joys, sorrows, and sorrows. At this moment, he can be called a top beautiful man, and if he wants to change into modern clothes and walk on the bustling streets, I don't know how many women's eyes will shine.

At the very least, Steele's eyes were shining right now, as green as a hungry wolf.

Perhaps the aura she exuded was too strong, and Ray, who was reading, was awakened. He unhurriedly put the book away, then knocked on the wall beside him.

"Your Majesty. He asked, "It's okay to recite the mantra here?"

Before Sui Xiong could reply, Steele had already screamed and lay on the ground without moving.

“...... I haven't chanted the mantra yet!"

"Actually, I think you two have a good relationship. Sui Xiong smiled and said, "It's very tacit." ”

Lei's face suddenly darkened: "I have a tacit understanding with her?!Your Majesty the Jellyfish God, your observation and understanding of human beings is still not enough!"

"Perhaps. Sui Xiong didn't dwell too much on this issue, and instead used magic to synthesize an electronic sound, which echoed in the "cockpit".

"Passengers, please note that the Jellyfish flight over the Broken Cloud Mountains is about to land. Please fasten your seatbelt and keep your child in good hands. Please check your belongings, turn off your mobile phone and other electronic devices, and thank you for your cooperation. ”

This passage is full of words, and it can be used on airplanes and flights on Earth. However, in this different world where no one knows Chinese at all, it only attracted two passengers to complain in surprise.

"What kind of spell is this?" asked Ray.

"Maybe something is wrong?" Steele's thought was a little pessimistic, "We're declining, are we going to fall?"

Sui Xiong sighed, and couldn't help but feel the frustration of flattering the blind man.

The "Jellyfish Airship" landed slowly and quickly, because Sui Xiong kept the air pressure in the cockpit at a normal level, and the two passengers did not feel dizzy and tinnitus as on Earth, and of course they did not have a sore nose and ears. Sui Xiong couldn't help but secretly fantasize: "If this technology can be used on the earth's plane......"

However, this is impossible, because the shell of an airplane on Earth is absolutely impossible to be as strong as the body of a jellyfish god, and it can resist the huge pressure generated by the difference in the density of air inside and outside the cabin when it is high at altitude.

With a gentle collision, the "airship" landed smoothly on the ground, a portal opened in the bulkhead, and the two "passengers" tidied up their things and carefully walked out.

Outside the door is a flat rock, and there is still unmelted snow nearby, which shows that the terrain is quite high. The lush woods start from the distant hillside and stretch to the end of the earth, and the blue and green horizon looks so clear and distinct.

This is obviously the southern part of the Broken Cloud Mountains, where the ancient forest that is said to have existed since the dawn of the world is called the "Ancient Forest".

From "boarding" to "landing", the trip is only a few hours in total. In fact, Sui Xiong could have compressed the time to a shorter time, and could even cross the Broken Cloud Mountain Range in just a few minutes, but the dense magic in the sky made him feel very comfortable, so he slowed down his pace and walked leisurely in the sky at a slow speed like a walk, which was why he had walked for such a long time.

Of course, Ray and Steele couldn't have known this, they only knew that even for those who were extremely strong, the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, which could be called a moat, had been easily crossed, there was no difficult trek, no dangerous battle, not even a long journey, the whole process was nothing more than Steele sleeping, and Ray read the book.

It's like resting in a hotel.

"The power of the gods is really vast!" Lei couldn't help but sigh, "Your Majesty, if you can not be so unreliable, there will be many, many believers!"

"Actually, I have a lot of believers. Sui Xiong said, "In the north, almost 100 people have been recruited. ”

"I'm not talking about the kind of people who sing your praises for money or protection, but people who respect you from the bottom of their hearts and believe in you. Ray emphasized, "The former, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can want as much as you want." But only the latter can truly be called believing in you. ”

Sui Xiong smiled indifferently, he didn't really care about this at all.

Faith or something, he really doesn't see any good.

According to the rules of the gods, if you are believed in by the people, you will be able to gain power from them. But he has never felt the "power of faith", and for him, being believed in by people is nothing more than being praised, and he can get spiritual pleasure.

Someone believes, of course, it's good. No one believes, in fact, that's it, it's not a big deal. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than a matter of face.

This may be like the proverb on the earth, the Buddha fights for a stick of incense, and the fight is nothing more than face, and that's it.

Although he has lived in this world for a long time, although he already has the great power of a god, and although he is believed by many people like a god, Sui Xiong has not really transformed into a god of this world after all.

In essence, he is still the soul from Earth, unchanged.
