Chapter 45: The Courtyard of the Skies of Amya
The Plains of Wind and the Eastern Islands are all a collective name for an infinite territory, and there are countless small continents in the north, and no one can tell which continent it is, except for the locals or well-read scholars.
The most intimidating and desirable place in the continent of Gaia is the Sea of Gaia, which is known as the center of the continent. There is only one sea in the entire continent, whether it is the lake in the deepest part of the Windy Plains, or the urine of a child in a ravine village, it will eventually pass through the soil and ride the wind and clouds to return to the sea of Gaia.
The Sea of Gaia, also known as the Sea of Burial by many navigators, and in the early years by some experienced airboat pilots, all reveal the horrors of this sea.
With the rapid progress of magic theory and application, large ships are equipped with magic navigators and water clearing circles, and a team of water elemental mages can be hired to escort them at a high cost, so unless the shipwreck is man-made, natural disasters are far less dangerous than they were at the beginning.
Similarly, when Hua Ye stood at the main entrance of the Aemia Sky Courtyard, he knew that he had been blind in Amya these days, and he really should have walked around more to gain knowledge.
The aerial beasts that combine magic and technology rise and fall in this aerial courtyard full of machinery and magic, which is not spectacular.
There was an endless stream of people coming and going at the main entrance, and Hua Ye didn't see a person in charge of reception for a long time, and looked at Wood helplessly.
Wood threw his shoulders and motioned for them to come with him.
"It's strange, why are there so few guards guarding such an important transportation hub?" Hua Ye asked puzzled.
"Ha, that's because there are more members of the escort team and it affects the traffic, in fact, they have a fast reaction force to cooperate with the distance space teleportation, and there is no need to arrange too many manpower inside."
"So it isβyou kid is really haunted! Last time you got into trouble, Wo hasn't settled accounts with you yet! Hua Ye pointed his gun at this fat beast killer who came out of nowhere in an instant.
"Brother, stop being angry," the fat man calmly pointed the muzzle of the gun to the side with his index finger, but Hua Ye reset it without appreciation, "Big brother, can't I call you big brother!" Besides, you didn't find the real box in the end! β
"Whew! Found a fart relationship with you! "Hua Ye thought of that situation at that time, if it wasn't for the other team that attracted Hei Feng's attention, a few of them were afraid that they wouldn't have found a chance to slip away smoothly." Tell me, how do you want to harm us? β
"Big brother, you're laughing, how could I harm you?" The fat man laughed hesitantly, how do you look like a good person, "I heard that you are going to the Eastern Islands this time, why don't you take me one?" You don't have to pay anyway, do you? Oh yes! I'm familiar with this area, do you want me to lead the way? β
"I heard that there is a tree called the Shield Shy Tree, because its bark is thicker than the shields of some paladins," Hua Ye vigorously pushed the gun on the top, so frightened that the fat man waved his hand and stepped back, "I think you bastard is thick-skinned, it should be called Shield Shy Skin!" β
"Hey, hey, what's the matter," the fat man was really shameless, and suddenly his eyes changed and pointed behind Hua Ye, "Hey, isn't that the black wind?" Why is he here too? β
Hua Ye didn't eat this, and still stared at the dead fat man, but Xinqiu and Wood subconsciously followed the fat man's pointing and looked over, and really saw a black shadow staggering to the back of a huge steel frame and hiding.
"It looks like there's someone!" Xinqiu looked around again, but didn't look very carefully.
"That's none of our business!" Hua Ye was still angry at this fat man, "If you want to go to the Eastern Islands, you can, but there is one condition." β
"On what terms?" The fat man saw Hua Ye laugh like a demon, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"A thousand gold coins, not even a single one."
Poof, the fat man almost choked to death with saliva, "Big brother! I don't have that much money! β
"It's okay if you don't have it, then you can find a way to go by yourself, it is said that it is very cheap to find a cargo space for a merchant ship, only a hundred gold coins." Hua Ye took back the gun, thought about it and said, "Oh yes, it's really not okay to take a boat!" It's cheaper to go to the port cities in the east and search for merchant ships. β
"Big brother! Don't embarrass me! The fat man was about to cry, "That broken merchant ship has to fly for three months!" Let me work in the cargo hold, that's killing me! Don't mention the boat! The fastest will take four months! By the time I arrived, the daylilies were cold! β
"Huh? What other daylily do you have in the Eastern Islands? Hua Ye was interested, and it seemed that this fat man also had some secrets.
seemed to realize that he had leaked his mouth, and the fat man "cried" even harder, "No, big brother!" I'm just too slow! The Mars family's custom magic airship is one of the fastest in the world! Didn't I want to rub it! β
"You search to the east, you go west, and the rest come with me!" An abrupt voice sounded beside it, and the crowd couldn't help but look this way, seeing a dozen members of the City Guard trotting in three directions in three groups.
Then from where they entered, several civilian officers of the City Guard, wearing only cloth uniforms, walked up and began to post notices in the Aemia Empty Court.
Sure enough, it was the black wind.
That day, Hei Feng was injured and fled after fighting with Bai Wuliang in the small restaurant, Bai Wuliang confronted Hei Feng during the search process, and he cut off an arm, but Hei Feng fell into a coma again because he used the power of the black veins on his body, and two members of his squad resisted desperately to drag the members of the escort team to chase and resist desperately to buy time for the others and Hei Feng to escape, but these two iron men also died on the spot.
On this day, Hei Feng and the remaining two team members decided to disperse and hide in the city, but Bai Wuliang won more strength of the escort team because of his broken arm, and also got a second-level search warrant, and Hei Feng had nowhere to hide and fled all the way here, thinking if he could get on an empty boat and escape from the city directly.
The Courtyard of the Heights is huge, with thousands of large and small airships moving here, dense cogs and steel cables and steel columns like a forest of steel, countless unknown facilities and circles buzzing with magical fluctuations, noisy merchants and travelers crowding the roads, and there are some confetti cigarette butts thrown by unqualified people everywhere.
More members of the City Guards crowded in in neat steps, pedestrians avoided each other, and their voices were kept to a minimum of the clanging sound of their armor crashing up and down, for fear of ruining the harmonious melody of the Silver Guards.
Hua Ye was inexplicably irritable, shook his head, and said that he would not hit the smiling man, Hua Ye sighed and put the gun away, "Eight hundred gold coins?" β
"Five hundred."
"Seven hundred."
"Six hundred."
"Lead the way." Hua Ye turned out a black cloth bag, which was full of tinkling bells, and stuffed it into the space bag.
I have to say that this air courtyard is divided into many areas, the largest one is a public business travel airboat, there is a ticket area open to everyone, and the rest are private areas of large organizations and forces, but they are all relatively small and only accept people who are invited or people in the organization, Hua Ye can actually take the gun alliance airship to the Eastern Islands through the area of the gun alliance, although he is a dark gold bullet badge, but if he wants to enjoy the VIP cabin, he also has to get five hundred gold coins, which is still the price after enjoying the high-level discount.
But who doesn't love a free one.
A few people under the leadership of the fat man turned around and came to the exclusive area of the Mars family, very gloomy, a sword with wings is several households and two people high, straight pestle in the middle of the road teeth, engraved with the abbreviation of the Mars family, is a personal acquaintance.
Standing under this large metal sculpture was none other than Hugh Mars, one of the elders of the Mars family who had previously settled the task for Hua Ye.
"Here we go." Hugh looked at a few people with a smile, "These three are yourβ"
"This fat man in black is notβ" Hua Ye thought for a while and said that it was not convenient for him to rub the airship, so he said: "I am not an official member yet, and I am in the assessment period." β
"No one else, then come with me." Hugh nodded, and strode toward a large golden pillar.
After shaking for so long, Hua Ye and Xinqiu also knew that the dense steel pillars in the air courtyard with a certain inclination angle were all ports of call for empty ships, and according to the specifications of the steel pillars and the chain gears on them, they could also transport personnel and goods to the empty ships. In order to maximize the use of three-dimensional space, these steel columns are divided into five heights, corresponding to five sizes of empty boats, the largest air boats are generally the highest docking height, and the steel columns are the highest and largest, and the more complete the functions.
At this time, Hua Ye was watching the chain bell roll in a daze, and after a while, a small golden platform stopped in front of several people, and there was a young man standing on it, who looked a little similar to Hugh.
"Grandpa, everything is safe and ready to go." The young man respectfully opened the low door of the small platform and made a gesture of please.
"This is my eldest grandson, just call him Hadi. Oh yes, I haven't introduced myself to Hua Ye's accomplices yet, haha I love to forget things when I'm older. Then Hugh introduced himself to a few people, and Xinqiu and the fat man also responded excitedly, but Wood was a little cold, but Hugh didn't pay much attention to it, after all, mages are relatively arrogant.
"Hello, Mr. Hugh," a member of the escort hurried over, "I'm very sorry, we need to do a routine inspection of your airship, it's a search warrant, it only takes ten minutes of your time. β
The young man who called Hugh his grandfather stepped forward to take the search warrant and looked at it carefully, and then looked at Hugh, Hugh nodded, "After all, it's someone else's territory, you can take them to check." β
The member bowed slightly and replied, "Thank you very much!" Then he said to the three people behind him, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't delay their trip!" β
