The float is a big guy, about twenty meters wide, forty meters long, and twenty-five meters high - the horizontal area is basically equivalent to the middle school playground of the earth, it is ellipsoidal as a whole, the shell is mostly made of pure wood, the lower part of the airship is a complex magic mechanism, which is engraved with a large number of magic arrays, the upper part of the airship is a three-story personnel activity area, including the cockpit and the sleeping cabin, and the top of the airship is the sightseeing deck, equipped with a special windproof magic array.

Following the team under the canopy, Jack turned his head to see that there were people in front of and behind him.
As the cheapest mode of transportation by land, sea and air, the float boat has always been a popular means of transportation for most merchants and travelers, and it is the height of summer festival, and most people have a ten-day vacation, so it is natural that many families will choose to travel - and the city of stars is undoubtedly a good choice to be closer to Ash City.
Wiping the sweat from the tip of his nose, Jack showed his ticket to the staff at the boarding gate, and then he ascended the stairs to the outer area of the first level of the floatboat. He, like everyone else, needs to store everything here, including the Space Ring, and put on the forbidden gloves for the floatship after passing through security. All these measures are to prevent hijackings and air crashes, and if the professionals are allowed to use their power on the float boat, the possibility of the float ship crashing is too high - in this world, there are still a few people who can jump from a height of 3,000 meters and still survive.
Locking the locker corresponding to his seat number along with his space ring and handbag, Jack was finally able to enter the floatship after being groped by security personnel and putting on the forbidden gloves that only the staff could unravel.
Because it was the first time to come, he first visited the activity area on the first floor, which was very spacious, a bit like an airplane in later generations, with rows of seats with cotton wicks, and at a cursory glance, there were about 100 seats, and at this time, half of the seats were already occupied.
There is a toilet not far behind the entrance, and from the entrance you go down the aisle, and soon you see the spiral staircase to the second floor, Jack did not go up, but walked up a distance again, and visited the restaurant on the floatboat, which is a very Gedala style restaurant, with chandeliers and bluegrass with candles hanging everywhere, white napkins and dishes on the neatly packed square table, and hanging a hanging bell carved with owls on the dark blue painted walls. The restaurant also sells mostly Jeddara's food, and as soon as Jack gets closer, he smells of garlic and potatoes.
Nodding his head, seeing that there was nothing in front of him, Jack turned around and ascended the spiral staircase to the second floor. On the second floor there are eight cubicles in the ordinary cabins, which are arranged on two sides, each compartment has bunk beds for four beds, a bit like the sleeper of a train, and on both sides of the second floor there is a public bathhouse and a recreation room, next to the public bathhouse is a yukata shop, and a little in front of it is a spiral staircase on the upper third floor.
The third floor is relatively small, the same is a cabin, but it is a VIP cabin, there are still eight cubicles, each cubicle is single, only one bed, but also equipped with a small table, a small wine cabinet and almost luxurious decoration, the VIPs who live here will also have a special beautiful maid to serve them one-on-one, it can be said that it is a place that needs to take money to buy and enjoy, generally choose the third floor only the aristocracy who is accustomed to luxury and some big businessmen who have too much money to use up. Jack didn't choose this kind of VIP cabin anyway, he felt that it would be better to go out to the masses and meet more interesting people when he traveled.
Passing through the third floor, Jack made his way up the spiral staircase to the top deck, a place with an extremely open view, and at this time, there were already three people sightseeing.
Two of them were beautiful women, tall and short, dressed in identical teal plaid dresses with brilliant blonde hair, leaning against the railing at the edge of the deck, laughing. The rest was a middle-aged man, he wore a large gray hooded robe, his face was covered with stubble, his short brown hair was combed into a neat gentleman's head, and whenever the wind blew, his big robe would hunt and dance, and the movement of his hands behind his back, if it wasn't for the sharp eyes noticing the slippers on the man's feet, Jack would have given him a hundred points.
Without greeting them, Jack chose a completely different direction from the other two groups, and walked to the edge of the deck, he crossed the float station with only one floor, and saw the city of ashes in the distance, this city that had only recently become familiar to him had become so small that Jack couldn't even see the crowd moving inside, and his eyes were further away, where there was only a small point of sea and sky blending together, not distinguishing from each other.
It was a stunning sight and a fresh perspective for Jack, and he was fascinated by the expansiveness of the city, and in the end, he stayed on deck until the announcement was about to take off.
At that time, the others didn't know when they would go down.
Jack didn't feel lonely, and he followed the announcement back to the second floor, and walked into a part of his room, Room 7.
Then, he was surprised to see in the room the two beautiful girls he had just seen on the rooftop, they were sitting on the lower bunk on the left-hand side, chatting intimately, because Jack was the lower bunk, so he naturally looked at the upper bunk on the right-hand side, where sat a petite girl with short brown hair, she was dressed in a straitjacket, her eyes were closed, her hands were twisted back and bent at the waist, and her legs were coiled like lotus flowers, Jack was immediately shocked by her amazing flexibility.
The two girls who were chatting noticed Jack standing in the doorway, the little one looked very young, about eleven or twelve years old, so she was also the most lively, and shouted at Jack.
"Ah...... Big brother who was just in a daze on the windowsill!"
"Hey, handsome guy!" The slightly older beautiful girl was not shy at all, and greeted Jack generously and enthusiastically, with a bright smile on her face, "You are the last person in this compartment, I'm afraid that it will be a middle-aged obscene uncle who will come up at that time, I will be relieved to see such a beautiful little brother!Ah~ It doesn't seem to be very reassuring, little brother, the eyes you just looked at Fei are really hot~"
"Don't talk nonsense, Daphne. The girl who was meditating on the top bunk opened her eyes and said rather coldly.
"Hee~" smiled, and the big blonde girl introduced herself, "I'm Devany Aloisius, and this is my sister Shirley Aloisius." The one above is my classmate, Faye Spangele. ”
Tilting his hat slightly in respect, Jack introduced himself, "In Lower Jack, a traveling merchant. In order not to reveal his identity, Jack did not say his surname, in fact, there are many civilians in this world who do not have surnames, so it is not abrupt.
"Merchants, wow, that's amazing, are you a businessman at such a young age?" exclaimed Daphne.
Jack made it down in the lower bunk, hung his hat by the window, he smiled implicitly, and said modestly, "Not that powerful, just a businessman who does a small business." I just heard you say that you are classmates, what kind of college are you from?"
"We are all students of the School of Magic in Jeddara, and this time we are traveling together......"
Daphne was only halfway through her answer when she was interrupted by some violent shaking.
Several people looked out the window.
The floatship slowly lifted into the air.
