Chapter 263: Escape (2)
"The type, purpose, volume, weight, and place of discharge...... of the consignment cargo"
In front of her, a desert kobold asked herself with a pen and paper, much to the seamstress's surprise, her previous knowledge of this creature was still stuck in the words low, weak, and ignorant.
But now, under the leadership of a gifted master of the dragon's nest, the dragon Pasha, the members of the Desert Kobold clan have begun to learn to write, rather than digging holes for their masters by instinct.
After a trance of thoughts, the female spy Tieflin immediately collected her mind and replied carefully: "The goods are silver cloisonné enamel flannel, which is transported from Bait to Nome City for trading, occupying about thirty standard crates, and the weight has not yet been weighed. ”
"Go pack the box first, weigh it and come back with the voucher to pay the fee," the desert kobold clerk of the Dragon Clan nodded, motioning for the tailor to take people through the payment channel first, and at the same time he kindly reminded: "When the time of take-off is at most half an hourglass, you have to hurry, if you miss the flight, you will only have to wait two days before a new floating beast arrives in Beit City." ”
The tailor thanked him in vain, and hurriedly beckoned Oberd and the others, who were pretending to be his hired guards, to quickly carry the goods to be packed and weighed, of course, the two subordinates of the main labor of the desert elf mercenary captain, and he himself spent most of the time "admiring" the floating beast suspended on the top of the mooring tower.
"Shameful plagiarist," in Oberd's mind, a storm was raging at this time, and the initiator of this storm was the true owner of the worm plate armor on his body, "this floating beast is so similar to the Skywalker!"
"It must be destroyed," thought the desert elves, "or their minds will always be filled with clamor of rage." ”
Prompted by the tailor's half-push, half-mulberry, Aubard turned his gaze away from the floating beast hanging in mid-air, and he led two men to stack the bundled high-quality flannel cloth into a standard crate provided by the desert kobolds, and carried it to the scale to weigh it.
"Fifty-five silver kates and six copper debens are to be paid for the goods," looked at the stamped weighing vouchers, and the desert kobold, who was in charge of collecting the fees, calculated carefully, and informed: "plus four people and loading and unloading fees, a total of sixty-three silver kates need to be paid." ”
After hearing the offer, the tailor couldn't help but feel a pain in his flesh. However, using the air transportation of the Scales of Eternal Order Chamber of Commerce is convenient and fast, and it is indeed worth the high price. And if they succeed in this trip, they will gain much more than that.
The fee was obediently paid, and the tailor got the pass to board the boat. She walked up to the Desert Elf mercenary leader and asked in a low voice, "How sure are you, or how many sacrifices are you prepared to make?" ”
The female Tiffling spy felt that she had to at least know the other party's bottom line in order to measure her own risk in this operation. But she didn't know that in fact, under the influence of the worm plate armor, Oberd's heart had already been filled with madness and had become bottomless.
Ignoring the tailor's questioning, the desert elf just urged the two subordinates, together with the members of the dragon clan who came to help, to carry the goods onto the suspension of the floating beast as soon as possible.
Because of the high value of the goods, the cloisonné velvet with silver thread, and the high cost of transporting it, the tailor and a few mercenaries were placed on the top deck with crates containing their goods.
Unlike the Leviathan, these levitating behemoths spawned from Leviathans are slightly smaller in size, so they do not have an inhabitable upper cabin in order to increase their cargo carrying capacity.
The top deck, the closest deck to the control center, is also a cargo hold, but in most cases it is used to load some valuable cargo to prevent the loss of cargo during the voyage, and in the end it is not clear what happened.
When Oberd and the tailor and others boarded the deck with their goods, they found that there were only a few caravans around. Each caravan was accompanied by a guard, ranging from two or three people to a man, sitting or lying on fixed shelves with their own goods.
Judging from the containers containing goods on the shelves, they should all be high-value, small-sized goods such as jewels and spices, like the crates carried by the desert elves, or they are the only ones.
No one interacted with each other, probably because the value of the goods they carried was relatively high, and the guards of each caravan kept their ears open and watched carefully for the movements around them, even when they were resting.
After a short wait, brass horns sounded around the deck, informing the floating beast to prepare for liftoff, and the passengers and crew in the suspension cabin were ready. Then, the sense of oppression gradually increased in everyone's ears, but fortunately it was not strong.
Unlike the other passengers, who crouched as much as they could, or simply sat on deck, Obold twisted his neck and straightened up, lifted his hooded cloak to reveal the scarlet worm plate armor inside, and began to walk towards the cargo that the tailor had brought with him.
He opened the crate, took out two pieces of silver cloisonné enamel flannel, held them in both hands and shook them vigorously, and then connected them neatly, and the silver lines were instantly connected, and made one place.
"You can do me a favor too," Seeing the other passengers looking at him suspiciously, the worm plate armor on O'Pad swelled a little, and a large number of hideous worms instantly poured out, "Buy me some time, although talking is better than nothing." ”
It was as if the floodgates were being opened, and there was no telling how many acid mist worms poured out of the worm plate armor, and they pounced on the other passengers on this deck. The caravan guards were clearly no match for these abyssal visitors, and they were quickly routed, each with several or even a dozen worms burrowed into their bodies.
The parasitized human beings immediately underwent anomalies - due to the perennial parasitism in the bodies of other Tanari demons, the acid mist worms carried a large amount of demonic genetic material in their bodies, and under their influence, many demonic aberrations appeared on the bodies of these human hosts.
In the pipes on the walls around the deck, dozens of teleportation lizards capable of recording and retelling conversations memorized the voices and were driven by instinct to move through the pipes. It's about delivering the message, but also about getting out of here.
At this time, Aubard gave his new men the order to attack and destroy the suspension pod at will, and he needed them to buy himself some time to assemble the few rune cloths he had brought with him.
As long as he can complete those runes full of demonic power, he will be able to use the power of more worm lords to suppress the consciousness of this floating beast. After that, Aubird will let him go all the way to the west, and once again give the dragon Pasha, who has been caught in the assassination storm according to the plan, another unexpected gift from the sky!
