1561. Journey
At the airport dock in Handanar City, a magic caravan sped through some of the silted puddles on the street, splashing muddy water on the sidewalks on either side of the street.
In the early morning, there are not many pedestrians on the streets, only a few small vendors pushing small carts and starting to prepare for business.
A woman yawning and escorting a merchant in a trench coat out of her home, a street lined with shops, more small inns than shops, and a few taverns that had not yet opened in the morning.
Two night watchmen snuffed out the street lights one by one, the morning fog wetting their tattered coats, but a sign that it was going to be a sunny day.
Through the surging morning mist, the airport terminal gradually appeared in Surdak's field of vision.
First a few towers, as the magic caravan got closer and closer, the outline of the towers gradually became clear, even the platform at the top of the tower and the top of the pointed tower became clearly visible, and Surdak saw a magic airship quietly parked on the airport dock.
This is Surdak's second visit to the airport terminal in Handanar City......
He still remembers the last time he was here, he was a down-and-out reserve knight, with a ticket for a magic airship and a portal pass for Epson City, and he went to a home that was very strange to him with infinite regrets.
At that time, he was full of unknowns and confusion about the future.
When he left Handanar City, the Magic Airship ticket given to Surdak by the Knight of Trolope was still kept, and when he first boarded the Magic Airship, Surdak still remembered that because of his knighthood, he still walked through the passage of nobles.
The civilians could only wait in long lines on the steps of the tower.
Only when the nobles all stepped onto the airship would the commoners line up to the deck of the magic airship, and their rooms were on the first or second floors below the deck of the airship.
The magic caravan barely slowed down along the way, and rushed straight into the courtyard of the airport dock.
When Surdak stepped out of the carriage, he found a group of employees on the airport dock standing in two groups on the steps in front of the tower to salute Surdak.
A red carpet was temporarily laid on the steps of the tower, and Surdak stepped on the red carpet and was led by a public official to the platform, who walked almost sideways backwards and introduced Surdak to the next part of the journey on the magic airship.
Surdak saw that he was wearing a viscount badge on his chest, and his steps slowed slightly, and nodded at him.
However, he didn't remember the name he had just introduced himself, a magic airship with only three masts was docked on the platform of the airport dock, and the deck of this airship was already crowded with civilians, and even there were some figures shaking in every glass window on the ship's building, and there were many nobles looking into the distance on the observation deck on the roof of the ship, but more people were watching Surdak who was climbing the tower step by step.
Surdak could even hear the whispers of civilians on deck, and it seemed that the topic was all about him.
Thinking that the magic airship had been stranded in Handanar City for a day because of him, it was estimated that these people had spent the night on the airship, and everyone huddled next to the side of the ship, casting curious glances at Surdak.
Surdak walked up to the platform, and the civilians had been herded back to the cabin below deck by the crew.
Surdak was the only one in the entire passage.
As soon as Surdak entered the deck of the aristocratic area of the magic airship, he heard the command transmitted by the captain's room, and as the crew on both sides of the ship opened the air duct of the floating device, the fourteen floating devices began to run at full speed, and the magic airship actually rose directly into the air.
The people of the aristocratic area on the deck did not deliberately shy away from Surdak's arrival, and the people who could stand here would be knights at worst.
When everyone saw Surdak, they would give a knightly salute, and the nobles would also greet Surdak one after another.
Surdak stopped every two steps and responded to those greetings with a smile.
On the way into the luxurious room of the magic airship, as he passed through each cabin, the door of the cabin would be pushed open by the nobles, and the people inside would say some words of greeting to Surdak.
This was the first time Surdak had felt such a grand reception.
He even had a feeling that at least half of the nobles on this airship lived here because of him.
There were many aristocratic ladies in the crowd, and there were also some aristocratic ladies, all of whom looked at Surdak with curious eyes, and the ladies held folding fans in their hands, covering their faces, but revealing a pair of eyes of different colors, and there seemed to be lightning in those eyes.
As a second-turn powerhouse, Surdak's five senses were much stronger than ordinary people's, and he could faintly hear some words talking about him.
'He's the commander of the Western Route Army, and he looks really young......
I heard that the entire Moyunling will be his. ’
'Hey! He's got really strong pectoral muscles, and this is definitely a good opportunity, would you like to give it a try? I'm definitely going to give it a try......
This time, Surdak returned to Bena City alone to visit his family, without any retinue with him, and no female scroll with him.
The women on the ship seemed to be eager to prepare for an aftermath trip, and they spoke extremely boldly and explicitly, not caring about the nobles around them, as if they were air.
Surdak could only pretend that he hadn't heard anything, and then stubbornly walked into the luxurious cabin on the second floor.
This luxurious cabin has a relatively comfortable living room, bathroom and bedroom, although it looks very compact, but the room has at least a bed, sofa and work desk, and the bathroom also has a toilet and shower, and all the bedding and curtains are made of high-quality silk fabrics.
In addition to a pot of tea, there are some pastries, nuts and fresh fruit on the tray on the desk.
There were even droplets of water on the surface of those fruits, which must have been freshly washed.
However, Surdak didn't plan to touch the food, the more meticulous the airport dock behaved, the more suspicious Surdak would be of them, but he clearly remembered that on the Moyunling Heights, he had offended almost all the noble lords of Handanar City, and he would not laugh at the dance party last night.
500,000 magic crystals can build a city......
He rested on the couch in the cabin for a moment when there was a knock on the door outside.
Surdak got up and walked to the hatch, pushed open the hatch and saw a nobleman standing in the doorway, smiled at Surdak and said:
"Lord Surdak, I'm Barney, the captain of this magical airship Will. Matthew, you can call me Matthew, you can find me no matter what you need during the trip, all the crew of our Will will wholeheartedly provide you with the best quality service, in addition to the observation deck on the ship, you can see the sea of clouds and the starry sky of Warsaw, and there is also a luxury restaurant and chess and card room inside the airship, which are open 24 hours a day. ”
"Thank you, Captain Matthew!"
Surdak responded.
After a pause, Surdak said, "But...... I'm used to being alone in peace, and it's best not to have anyone bothering me along the way. ”
"Have a nice trip!"
Captain Matthew managed to squeeze out a smile before turning to leave.
For the rest of this time, Surdak stayed in the cabin, the curtains of the cabin were always drawn, and he didn't even go out of the cabin to eat, as if he had been sleeping all the time.
The aristocratic ladies and aristocratic ladies on the airship had already designed the way of chance encounters and conversations, and even prepared to use some special body language to tease the commander of the Western Route Army.
But Surdak never left the cabin......
During the day, Surdak stayed in the cabin, and he had been comprehending the laws of this plane during this time, according to Elder Ambroby, these laws could allow him to master some powerful 'domains', and comprehending 'domains' was the only way to be promoted to a third-turn powerhouse.
In the evening, Surdak would return to Highlandsa through the Void Gate, and he would not be able to meet his friends in Highlandsa for the time being, so he could only live in the house rented by Aphrodite, but it was more comfortable than a magic airship.
He'd been dining with Aphrodite for the past few days, and he wasn't prepared to test himself on a magic airship.
Life is like this, when he is a down-and-out knight, no one will notice him, there is no comfortable room, and there is no beautiful queen......
Now that he has become a noble lord with a prominent position, there will be countless pairs of eyes staring at him, even if he wants to go to the toilet, someone will diligently open the toilet lid for him, and at the same time, many people will tripped over a stone while walking and fell to his death......
"Are you sure someone on board is trying to assassinate me?"
Surdak asked Aphrodite as he lay on a wicker chair, squinting at the white clouds and blue sky outside the window, and holding a cup of sweetened black tea in his hand.
Aphrodite was holding her daughter, she was standing by the window, the sun shining through the openwork curtain on her daughter Vivien's little face, and the little one was sleeping soundly......
When she first gave birth, Aphrodite was a little overwhelmed for a while, and she didn't even know what a mother should do, but after half a year, she had become accustomed to this new identity.
There was infinite pampering in her eyes......
Aphrodi just glanced at Surdak and didn't say anything.
Surdak sat up from the wicker chair and asked Aphrodite:
"If you assassinate me, when can't you, why should you be on this ship, won't this magic airship be inseparable from it when the time comes?"
Aphrodite snorted, put her daughter in the cradle of the living room, then turned to Surdak and asked:
"Would they mind the people on this magic airship? It's the civilians...... Or are you aristocrats who want to slap you? ”
The air in the room seemed to freeze suddenly, and Surdak then said, "There hasn't been much movement these days......
"So you think it's safe on that magic airship?" Aphrodite smiled charmingly at Surdak and asked rhetorically.
