Chapter Seventy-Five: Shenlong No. 1
Outside Qianzu Town, torches were lit one by one, and Gu Bei stood in front of the huge flying boat, finally with a smile on his face.
"There's finally a flying boat!"
Yang Shifu and Ye Wei and others were also very excited, having a medium-sized flying boat was something they couldn't have imagined before.
When they learned that an ordinary small flying boat needed more than a hundred spirit stones, they thought that they could only afford it in the Year of the Monkey, but they didn't expect to grab a medium-sized flying boat so quickly.
"Drive the flying boat back!"
Gu Bei ordered someone to let go of the few soldiers tied to the flying boat, and then boarded the flying boat with all the escorts.
Those soldiers were originally deserters, so naturally they didn't need to expect how hard their bones were, and with a little coercion, they could only obediently start the flying boat.
The light of the formation shone on the flying boat, and after the core driving formation was activated, the sails gradually rose, and the entire flying boat was shrouded in a thin light curtain that could block the wind in the air.
Gu Bei stood on the bow of the flying boat, looking at the ground that kept passing under his feet, this was a completely different feeling from riding a dragon.
Ao Xing flew around over the flying boat, like a curious baby, looking at this big guy who had no life, but could fly.
After the flying boat left, Yang Shifu took the city guards, collected all kinds of materials left by Zheng Cang, and escorted them back to Thorn City on horseback.
This trip can be described as fruitful.
Back in Thorn City, the ship landed on the newly built Mooring Plaza.
There are also many people from Jinhe Commercial Bank moving goods in the square, and their cargo boats will carry a lot of goods between Thorn City and various places every day.
When the people of Jinhe Trading House saw this medium-sized flying boat, their expressions were very surprised, because this was a flying boat used in the army, and it was much better than their cargo flying boat in terms of performance.
Gu Bei stepped down from the flying boat, while Ye Wei and the guards tied up the soldiers again and escorted them down from the flying boat.
These soldiers were able to pilot the ship and use the artifacts on it, and their lives would not be in danger until the soldiers of Thorn City learned these techniques.
As for whether they can survive in the future, it depends on their own performance.
"Leave six people to guard the flying boat, and the others will go back with me."
Gu Bei ordered six stronger guards to guard the flying boat, and then returned to the City Lord's Mansion with the others.
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Gu Bei took a good bath first, washed off the smell of blood on his body, and then ate something and slept for a while.
Ye Wei also returned to her room, and after Shuang'er saw Ye Wei, she immediately pounced happily.
"Sister, you're finally back."
Ye Wei untied the bronze war hammer with one hand, hugged Shuang'er with the other, and said, "I said that I will be back soon." ”
After a while, Ye Wei took out a handful of sugar wrapped in oil paper, put it in Shuang'er's hand, and said, "Eat it, I specially brought it back to you." ”
These candies were found by Ye Wei from the rich family's house when he was collecting the loot, and he brought them back to Shuang'er.
"Thank you, sister."
Although Shuang'er is a little precocious than her peers, she is a child after all, and she is very happy to have candy to eat.
This night, the City Lord's Mansion was full of laughter.
The next day, Gu Bei got up early, and after cultivating, he had breakfast, and then took the guards to the square to see the flying boat.
During the day, there is plenty of light, and every detail on the flying boat can be seen clearly.
The exterior of the flying boat resembles that of a warship, in the shape of a shuttle, with a shell made of a hard wood, painted with several layers of tung oil, and a dark brown surface.
Inside the airboat, there are many cabins that can store goods and carry people.
Above the boat, there is a thick mast that can raise the sails, and when driving in the sky, it can use the wind to reduce energy consumption.
The most important thing is the core formation carved inside the flying boat, which can use the spiritual energy in the spirit stone as an energy source to drive the flying boat to fly in the sky.
There are also defensive formations, floating formations, attack formations, and so on.
If it is a cargo airship, the focus is on carrying capacity, with poor defense and no attack ability.
However, the flying boat used by the army is different, it also has two rows of attack spirit weapons on it, which can attack enemies in the air or on the ground.
For example, firing special feathered arrows that explode, spraying poison gas, spraying fireballs, and so on.
The medium-sized flying boat that Gu Bei snatched back, there were only two kinds of attack spirit weapons on it, one that could fire special giant arrows, and the other that could shoot flames.
"Try these artifacts."
Gu Bei escorted the few soldiers back and asked them to activate the spirit weapon to see how powerful it was.
The soldiers were loosened, and with so many people watching, they couldn't do it, whether they wanted to run away or make some small moves.
One of the soldiers walked over to a giant crossbow-like artifact on the flying boat and placed a special giant arrow the thickness of his arm.
"Buzz!"
The array patterns on the spiritual weapon lit up one by one, and after a brief build-up, the giant arrow shot out towards the sky in the distance.
"Whew......"
"Boom!"
The giant arrow pierced through the sky, and after reaching a certain distance, it exploded directly, and a bright fire erupted in place, and the sound of the explosion could be heard from a long distance.
"What a powerful attack!"
Gu Bei, Ye Wei, Yang Shifu and the others looked at the spiritual weapon, and they all felt a little shocked.
If Zheng Cang was well prepared when attacking Qianzu Town, and attacked with this kind of spiritual weapon, I am afraid that it would not be so easy for them to defeat him.
Then, another soldier activated the flame-spewing artifact.
"Huhuhu......"
After the spirit weapon was activated, the flames that erupted were more than twenty zhang long, and the terrifying high temperature burned the air and distorted it.
Although it was not as powerful as Ao Xing's Dragon Flame, this kind of large-scale attack was also terrifying, and ordinary cultivators would definitely not be able to withstand it.
"What a flying boat!"
Nangong Lin, who rushed to hear the news, let out an exclamation.
He is the big shopkeeper of Jinhe Commercial Bank, and his vision is naturally relatively high, which can make him praise "amazing", this flying boat is obviously much stronger than ordinary flying boats.
After Nangong waited for Gu Bei to get down from the flying boat, he immediately arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, for getting a good flying boat." ”
Gu Bei smiled: "It's just lucky, it's not worth mentioning." ”
"This kind of good luck is not something that anyone can have, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is too humble."
The two politely exchanged words, and Nangong Lin suddenly asked, "I don't know if this flying boat has a name?" ”
Whether it is a boat on the water or a flying boat in the sky, most of them will take a well-known name, and the flying boat that Gu Bei snatched is naturally numbered, but since it is in his hands, it must be given another name.
Yang Shifu, Ye Wei and the others also looked at Gu Bei, wondering what name he would give this flying boat.
Gu Bei thought about it carefully and said, "Let's call it Shenlong No. 1." ”
"Shenlong No. 1...... If there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three...... Good, good name! ”
Nangong Lin stroked his palms and smiled: "I wish His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince more flying boats in the future." ”
Gu Bei responded: "I also wish the big shopkeeper a lot of money." ”
"Hahaha......"
The two had a great conversation.
Through this period of understanding, Nangong Lin has realized that this neglected sixth prince is not as wasteful as the legend, but just started late.
The strength of Thorn City is not as weak as others think.
Perhaps, one day in the future, the Six Princes will surprise everyone.
Thinking of this, Nangong Lin smiled even more heartily, the stronger the six princes, the more benefits Jinhe Commercial Bank can get, which is a win-win situation.
