44 Thieves in the air

According to the agreement, Yili dispatched a medium-sized transport boat for Kirin to dispatch the next day. Since Nuo Yin has been busy with military affairs recently and rarely returns home, Kirin's actions have not been hindered in any way, and after telling the duke's uncle that he "has to go out to do something", he said "go and return quickly". It is worth mentioning that someone did not return to the palace in the end, and followed the Kirin on the transport boat of the Greine Chamber of Commerce with a dead face, and also threatened to study the ecology of reptiles for many years, and when fighting reptiles, there was no more trustworthy staff than him, etc.

It can be seen that Yili also wants to go with the excitement, and stands under the suspension ladder several times to stop talking. But unlike someone who forgot his sense of responsibility in his mother's womb, Shaodong of the Gray Chamber of Commerce had a clear understanding of his responsibilities, so in the end, Yili waved goodbye to Qilin and the others, and promised to do his best to help him find the parts needed by Wolf Flame. Then, under the envious gaze of Grayn Shaodong, the transport boat flew towards the Warhammer Volcano at its destination, carrying the two dangerous elements.

Warhammer Volcano is located in the southwest of Linguel City, Kirin and the others went out at noon, and the traces of Warhammer Volcano could be seen in the early morning of the next day.

At an altitude of 3,600 meters above sea level, Warhammer Volcano is conical in shape from a distance, with thunder at the top and rolling primeval forests at its base. The forest is home to a wide range of monsters, from ghouls to minotaurs, and the Warhammer Volcano itself, which together form the largest lawless zone in the country of La Velis. Just looking down on the volcanic forest below from above is already ghostly, and for the Kirin's behavior of breaking in to hunt the Kororodo dragon, the crew of the transport ship almost always directly equates it between "sending to death".

It's just that even in such an uneasy atmosphere, there are still elated people.

"Oh, oh, it's still smoking! I wonder what it was like when it exploded?"

Xiude looked forward to the smoke-filled volcano, and his words of fear that the world would not be chaotic made the faces of several crew members in the distance turn green.

"you! If it really happens, believe it or not, I'm going to throw you down as a sacrifice?"

After making a common sense warning, the unicorn probe looked down at the ghost forest infested with monsters below, revealing a rather regretful expression.

"But, it's a shame to just fly over like this, why don't we go down and see?"

The crew, who had just come to peace, turned pale again when they heard this, but fortunately, Kirin did not intend to take these words seriously, and instead shifted their attention to the gray sky around them. Since the proximity to the volcano, the bumps of the transport boat have become more and more noticeable, which has aroused his interest.

β€œ...... The flow of the wind is chaotic. After all, it was the second time in his life that he had taken an airship, and Qilin was a little unsure, so he confirmed it with Xiude. "I said, 'Is this a common thing?'

"Sort of. Because the existence of volcanoes has disturbed the circulation of air currents in this area, it is inevitable that air-powered vehicles will be affected, but this kind of process is okay. ”

"What kind of Cheng dΓΉ does it matter?" Qilin said curiously.

"Well, when the volcano exploded?" explained Xiu De enthusiastically. "You know, air currents are magic energy that circulates in the atmosphere, theoretically the same as ocean currents. Volcanoes are the equivalent of reefs on the ocean floor, blocking the movement of air currents and causing turbulence. Slight turbulence does not affect the operation of the airship, but in the event of a volcanic explosion or something, the turbulence will turn into a violent turbulence and further evolve into 'Tianlan', in which case ......"

"What will happen?"

"This transportship will be torn in half......" Xiu De gestured, clasping his hands together, then parting again. "Then the two halves become four halves, and the four halves become eight halves, until they turn into slag, and then they are carried to the sky by the raging air currents, and finally return to the cycle of the world there. ”

"The same goes for the people sitting in the boat?"

"Theoretically, this is true, but according to historical records, there are also people who survived the 'Tianlan' by luck. According to my speculation, this is because the human body itself can be seen as a separate cycle of empty currents, and the characteristics of empty currents are ......"

"Gong ...... Childe!Two Childe!" A difficult voice came from behind them, interrupting the two of them to discuss with great interest.

The Kirin looked back and saw a white-bearded boatswain standing behind them. The boatswain's name was Sinbad, also known as Old Simba, and Old Simba was the most senior sailor on the ship, and it is said that he had a legendary adventure when he was young, so the other young sailors had great respect for Old Simba. The old Simba's veteran sailor's mark was an old-fashioned pipe, which the old Simba always bit into his mouth, and the Kirin never seemed to see the pipe go out these days.

"Two sons, if you dare to say these things in the sky, aren't you afraid of attracting the wrath of 'Amon'!"

At this time, old Simba had already taken off his precious pipe, pulled it in his hand, and squeaked it, and looked at the two of them with indescribable grief and indignation.

"Amon?" Qilin blinked, then looked at Xiude as if asking.

"Ah, 'Amun' is the god of the sky that sailors believe. "Xiu De showed his profound knowledge in a timely manner. "Originally, the official name of Amun was 'Amun Relic', which was originally the name of the ancestor of the celestial people's beliefs, and later as the sky civilization fell to the earth, in the process of cultural transmission, the ancestor of the celestial belief Amun Relic gradually became the prototype of the sky god Amun, and became a worldwide faith. However, in the Tower of Babel, where the celestials live, the prototype of the ancestor Amun Relic is still enshrined, and you can visit it if you have the opportunity. ”

β€œ...... Why am I going to visit the ancestors of the Celestials when I have nothing to do?"

"Don't say that, Ameng is also a god of the sky, for the sake of the future, you have to go to the dock to worship the docks, right? Besides, as the prototype, Amun Relic is still the patron saint of peace in the sky civilization!"

β€œ...... It's because of worshipping this weak guy as the ancestor that the heavens will be destroyed, right?" Qilin showed a disdainful expression.

"This is not unreasonable, but the Celestial Race is not a warlike race in the first place......" Xiude tried to explain the blood on half of his body, but a sudden voice next to him interrupted his words.

"Two sons, you ...... Are you going to talk about it?" old Simba gritted his teeth and glared at the two babbling nonsense, as if he couldn't throw them off the transport.

For the sailors who have been walking in the sky for many years, the sky is full of danger and mystery, and Amun, who is the embodiment of the sky, is a god they are extremely feared. No sailor dared to offend Amon in the sky, and as for such unscrupulous nonsense as the two of them, it was something that had never happened before. If it weren't for Yili's greeting in advance, and Qilin was a guest of the uncrowned royal family, his identity made old Simba dare not be disrespectful. If it had been someone else, I am afraid that they would have been tied up by the sailors and prepared to be sacrificed to Amun.

"Uh......" was glared at by the boatswain with angry eyes, and the two delinquent young men seemed to realize that what they had just said and acted had indeed gone too far.

"I'm sorry, uncle. This guy is always open-mouthed, and if he offends in any way, it doesn't matter if he teaches him a lesson!" Qilin pointed at Xiude and shirked the responsibility without hesitation.

"Hey, who do you say ......?"

"Anyway, our voyage was quite smooth, wasn't it?" Qilin interrupted Xiude's protest, trying to bring back the boatswain's mood. "Isn't it common for you to have no storms and no air thieves?"

"Count...... Sort of. Old Simba's face softened a little when he heard this, and he took out a pendant from his bosom that looked like a beast's finger bone, kissed it reverently with his lips, and then explained it to the two rookies in front of him. "This is Amon's talisman that protects the ship from storms and natural disasters. As for the air thieves you just mentioned, they don't usually appear on this route. ”

"Why?" Qilin said curiously.

"Fool, we're going to a place that can't be buried, do you think there will be a lot of merchant ships on this route?" as if to avenge the revenge of the arrow, Xiude explained in place of old Simba. "Air thieves make a living by robbing merchant ships, and a place like this that is inaccessible and doesn't lay eggs certainly doesn't interest them, so we're safe now...... Isn't that right, uncle?"

Someone's attempt to curry favor with the boatswain is very obvious by wagging that invisible tail behind his back, but Kirin looks into the distance and disputes his assurances.

"I mean, are you really sure there won't be thieves in this place?"

"Needless to say, I guarantee ...... with the credibility of the royal family of Lavelis."

"Then, the credibility of the Wang family will be shattered because of this. Kirin gestured to a spot in the sky behind the transport, where a small black dot was emerging from the clouds.

"I think it's very unlikely that it's a merchant ship, but ...... Can you borrow a telescope to take a look?"

........................

Kirin's premonition was quite accurate, and when he confirmed through the telescope that there was indeed an immutable skull flag flying on the airship that was heading this way, the faces of all the crew members turned pale as paper.

β€œ...... Why are there empty thieves in such a place?" said old Simba, with his lips moving for a long time.

"It's weird, there's no oil or water like this...... Is it really not suitable to travel lately?" Although Xiude did not panic, he also began to question his fortune.

"It's all well and good! Now the question is how to deal with it? I don't think they're just going to come and say hello and leave. Kirin scolded the panicked crowd and confirmed to the boatswain.

"Hey, old man, can you get rid of that pirate ship?"

β€œ...... Can't get rid of it. Eye-watching the voyage of the pirate ship, the boatswain shook his head in despair. "The other party is a combat ship, and even if this transport ship is fully opened, it can only delay for ten minutes at most. ”

"What about the Air Force?

"But it's close to the lawless zone, and there is no air force patrolling at all. ”

"So, is there any weapon on this ship?"

"Only...... There are only a few guns and crossbows, and I am afraid that it will be ...... to deal with the air pirate ship with this" The boatswain who said this showed Yan ZΓ²ng's expression of lack of confidence.

"Well, in terms of long-range firepower, a few spears and crossbows can't handle the air thieves. Xiude tried to come up with something else. "I said, how about a broadside battle? Let's pretend to run away, and then stop and surrender when the air pirates cannon, and then they will naturally get closer, and then board the ship and plunder. Wait until then...... You know that, right?"

As a gossip lover, Xiude certainly wouldn't be unaware of the experience of the Qilin once suppressing the air pirate ship alone, and in the Sky Ruins, the Qilin's extraordinary force when facing the abyssal multi-headed lizard also convinced him once again that this was the most suitable tactic for the moment. Once the air thieves get carried away by their prey and rush onto the deck of the transport, what awaits them will be the tyrant's minions and a lifetime of remorse - while Xiude's plan sounds fine, Kirin has other concerns.

β€œ...... What if they don't plan to board the ship?" Kirin suggested the possibility.

"Hey, if they weren't robbing something, what were they going to do after them......?

Xiude was suddenly stunned, as if he understood what Qilin meant, but he couldn't help frowning. "You mean, they're ......"

"This is a route that is rarely seen by air thieves, right?" Qilin looked back at Xiude with a bitter face. "Counting the last encounter in the Sky Ruins, don't you think we've had bad luck lately?"

"Wait, that'...... What should I do then?" Xiude really panicked this time.

"Damn, I don't want to die in a place like this!"
