Compared to the Leviathan, the Blazing Ship looks much more heavily guarded. Not only were there many guards patrolling back and forth on the deck of the cabin, but there were also people standing guard under the mage's makeshift mooring tower.

Thanks to the "Oremochi's Barrel of Waste", the airship was able to refuel from the Earth Plane with only a small amount of precious metals or gems, so it never landed on the ground.

After the members of the Leviathan observation group left, the airship was carefully guarded, and the guards did not let up for a moment.

Of course, the Blazing Sun Boat is not completely incommunicative. Supplies such as food and drinking water, as well as garbage from the ship's holds, are sent in and out of the cabin by special "cranes".

Again, for safety reasons, this "inside-outside interaction" was scheduled near noon, when the blazing sun hung high in the very center of the sky, and the shadow was reduced to a minimum, making it easier for the guards to inspect.

Accompanied by the sound of the flute, the drum of Dilbaka, which is specially used for heralding, began to beat in an orderly manner.

On either side of the deck of the Blazing Boat, two slender brown "giant hands" stretched out, these arms had thin bones like machines, and the tendons were clearly visible as they slid under the thin skin.

A pair of enchanted arms borrowed from the Flesh Golem and Synther techniques, they are both melee weapons on the Blazing Ship and a "crane".

The arm on the left side of the boat is responsible for throwing down the garbage that is piled up on the deck, and the arm on the right side of the ship is responsible for lifting the containers on the ground. In order to maintain balance, the movements of the enchanted arm must be alternated in an orderly manner.

Below deck, dozens of people are constantly tightening two sets of clockwork, providing enough power for the enchanted arms, and they are operated by two veteran apprentices left behind by the noble mage Lillett.

Supplies procured from Norm City were loaded into wide-tail vans and pulled by the Camel Beast to a designated location under the Blazing Boat. In order not to frighten the camels, the beasts are temporarily untied and pulled aside after the wide tail van is in place.

Some hired miners will take over their duties temporarily, either pushing or dragging them on their shoulders, fine-tuning the parking positions of these material vehicles to assist in the grasping and unloading of the enchanted arms.

One-Eyed and Crooked Mouth disguised themselves among the folks—due to the Transfiguration Circle on the Blazing Boat, it was not easy for Quith's companions to get involved in the airship, so they had to rely on the two brothers to go up and investigate.

"Do you remember what Lord Pasha commanded?" whispered to his brother with a shirtless one-eyed man like the other people, "when we go up, we must find a place to hide first, or just mix in the appearance of a crew." ”

The crooked mouth of the one-eyed car pushing the wide tail van looked around for a while, and saw that no one noticed them, before replying, "I remember, but I'm a little worried about that thing." ”

With that, he snuggled his own crooked mouth and pointed to the airship above his head. Earlier, the two of them had ridden the flying carpet once. When he ascended to the air, One-Eye was fine, but he noticed that he was cramping his legs on the flying carpet.

"Don't worry, didn't you go up to the Leviathan once? One-Eyed reassured disapprovingly, he also opened his mouth and pulled out a ring from under his tongue: "Isn't there a floating ring, the worst case, this ring can also trigger the feather fall technique to keep you safe." ”

Crooked mouth nodded, exhaled lightly to soothe his emotions, and slightly pressed the floating ring hidden in a certain part of his body to calm himself down.

When the enchanted arm grabbed the wide tail wagon in charge of them, One-Eye and Crooked Mouth immediately used illusion tricks to cover the ears and eyes of the other people, and then dodged into the carriage and hid in the wicker basket containing the crew's change of clothes.

......

Before the Leviathan was ready to take off, the members of the tour were asked to return to their cabins and wait for takeoff. With the exception of the pot-bellied general who needed to discuss something with the dragon Pasha, the rest of the noble observation group gathered in Lillet's cabin.

"The facilities of this airship are luxurious. A certain nobleman took out a bottle of jujube from the wine cabinet fixed to the wall of the cabin, and after tasting it, he couldn't help but praise, "The food, the wine, especially the steam room, two hundred silver Kate is worth the money." ”

Even the Obsidian Council's Lillett had to admit that the Leviathan's comfort level was more than imagined compared to the Blazing Ship they had flown on.

At first, they all thought that the construction of the airship was actually a show off of his military prowess.

But after a visit, even the hostile Lillett changed his mind - from the inside of the Leviathan, it looked more like a commercial airship than its hideous appearance.

However, as a member of the Obsidian Council, Lillett still stuck to his original plan. He stroked the bronze panels that adorned the walls of the cabin, the patterns of age that were very much in line with the noble mage's heart.

"People may have overlooked these antique decorations. Even though it was inside the cabin, Lillett cast a spell to prevent eavesdropping as he spoke, "There are fifteen of these luxurious first-class cabins on the Leviathan, as well as a few more second-class cabins. If you don't care about decency and comfort, you can spend less money to go to the warehouse. ”

He took out a silver Kate from his bosom with his fingers, sandwiched it between his fingers, and flashed it in front of the eyes of many representatives of the nobility. "Even if you don't count the freight revenue, even if you calculate a third of the passenger capacity, the Leviathan's one-way revenue is nearly 5,000 silver Kate. Compared to the Blazing Boat, which requires a lot of manpower and cannot be maintained, those who control the dragon clan are simply slaves of the dragon Pasha, and there is almost no cost. In the future, this airship will be a coinage machine capable of producing silver Kate automatically. ”

Seeing that some of the nobles present showed a contemplative look, and some of their eyes showed envy and jealousy without shying away, Lillett shrugged his shoulders and said a little helplessly: "But these of us have nothing to do with the Medichi Empire. ”

"Can't we order this airship from Nome City like ordering 'Maniac Armor'?" asked the anxious one first, "Even if we can't afford it, the Venerable Pharaoh can't afford it." ”

In a word, Lillett praised this somewhat reckless speaker in his heart. Of course, he knew the intentions of the supporters behind the Obsidian Council, and in fact, the reason why the noble mages coveted the Leviathan was a reflection of the Pharaoh's personal will.

A smile appeared on Lillet's face, "I also believe that only the great Pharaoh is worthy of having Leviathan." ”
