Chapter 74: Inclement Weather

Shakira leaned over and saw the book Hale was holding, titled: "Nar's Voyage Log".

So he said excitedly: "I know this book, I know Nar, the world's greatest adventurer, who invented vehicles including the McLaren and the one-man flying boat, and is one of the founders of the age of steam magic." ”

Hall said approvingly, "It seems that Shakira has read quite a lot of books." This man has been dead for a thousand years, and you would know it. ”

Shakira pouted proudly, raised her neck, crossed her waist, and looked proud.

Seeing her cuteness, Hall laughed, and then said, "According to Nar's records, there are thousands of wind tunnels scattered in the highest mountain range of the Duchy of Lunemigald, Mount Giffin. There are more than 100 wind ducts near the main peak that can be safely driven, and even if you don't enter the wind duct, there are all safe flat wind areas between the valleys, so you don't have to worry. ”

At this time, Wolf interjected: "Is the information from a thousand years ago accurate now?"

Hall nodded and said, "This book is regarded as a treasure by my teacher Arno, who has avoided many dangers based on the records in this book when he traveled in the past. He handed me the book when I came out this time, and it will definitely help a lot. ”

Hearing that it was Hall's teacher's treasured book, the other two were slightly relieved.

At this time, Shakira pointed to the bottom of this record and said, "There is a small line here, what is it?"

Hall looked at it carefully and read the words out loud: "It is said that there is an eye of a hurricane in the depths of the Giffen Mountains, which will blow all the birds, flying machines, and even clouds that pass through the eye of the storm into the air and tear them to pieces, which is very terrifying. However, the contemptible people have tried to fly the wind tunnels of the Giffen Mountains more than 100 times, but they have not encountered this eye of the wind, and I do not know whether the legend is true. For the time being, this message is recorded here for future generations to add. ”

Hall laughed and said, "Isn't this nonsense? If it had encountered the eye of the storm, it would have been torn to pieces a long time ago, how could it still write a logbook." ”

Seeing Hall laughing, the other two looked serious.

Shakira crossed her waist and said, "What if we encounter the eye of the wind? Sailing in the wind tunnel, even if you can see the eye of the wind, it is impossible to avoid it. ”

Wolf also nodded and said, "I haven't seen the prosperity of the capital yet, and I don't want to die yet." ”

Hall looked at the two of them with a sly look and said, "I know what you guys are thinking, you want me to go to the dragon-shaped layer and pass directly through the peak, right? By the way, you may meet your idols, those seven people?"

Before the two could speak, Hall continued: "No way! I said when I came up that everything was up to me, and now I have decided to walk through the wind tunnel! The eye of the wind that Nar has not encountered hundreds of times may be just a rumor. ”

Shakira was exposed to the conspiracy, and pouted: "But I think I'm very unlucky today, maybe I really pretend to be the eye of the storm!"

Hale shoved half of the bread into her mouth and said, "It's time for supper, my lovely Miss Shakira." You'll have to work later, and you'll work with me to ensure the safety of navigation in the wind tunnels. ”

So Hale manipulated the Wind Elf to continue to rise in altitude while hurriedly finishing dinner.

By the time it was nine o'clock in the evening on the gilt silver pocket watch, the Wind Elf had finally reached a height of five thousand feet, and was already within striking distance of the quilt-like clouds overhead.

The three of them could clearly feel that the wind outside the Fairy was even more crazy, whirring like whistling, and the surrounding clouds were blown away in an instant because of the sweep of the wind, like cooking smoke coming out of the chimney on a windy day.

But I don't know why, the clouds that are already close above my head are still thick.

Shakira pointed to the oppressive clouds above her head and said to Hall: "Bear-faced boss, second brother, teacher, what kind of cloud is this on your head, how do you feel that it is getting darker and darker." ”

Hall said helplessly: "The second brother is the second brother, what is the second brother teacher, this title is too strange." This cloud overhead, I don't think it's an ordinary cloud, it may be a snow cloud, the weather doesn't seem to be very good tonight, it's going to snow heavily. ”

Wolf said: "I don't see it, I always think this cloud is a little strange, we goblin clan also have some research on celestial phenomena, generally heavy snow clouds are relatively low, generally around 2,000 feet, and now it has reached 5,000 feet and there are such thick snow clouds." ”

Hall pointed to the mountains in front of him and said: "I think it's normal, because alchemy magic also mentions celestial phenomena, the main reason for the formation of cumulus clouds is the large accumulation of water elements, ordinary clouds are naturally gathered, and now we have a piece above our heads, because the flow of water elements is blocked by the mountains and formed, if there were no such majestic mountains here, they would have been blown away by the wind a long time ago." ”

Wolf nodded and said, "Magic is really more profound than ordinary astronomical science, and I can be regarded as an eye-opener." ”

At this time, Shakira, who was confused, seemed to be full of admiration for the two, and hurriedly asked Hall: "When will I be able to learn the magic in alchemy?

Hall looked helpless, coughed twice, and said, "Of course, alchemists are the most learned people in this world, and you have to learn alchemy...... Well, it's coming!"

In fact, Hall thought to himself, it is because of the relationship between the wings of light that I can cultivate magic, alchemy, and witchcraft, and I can't say this now.

As he spoke, the Wind Elf was only a hundred feet away from the first peak.

Hall could clearly hear the wind around him begin to make a screeching sound, like the bellows of a blacksmith's shop, screaming into the mountains.

Moreover, the speed of the Wind Fairy is driven by the force of the wind, and it is obviously increasing rapidly.

With the light of the Wind Elf's top illumination, Hale could even see a little light reflected off the black cliffs opposite, apparently the rocks here had become quite smooth due to the perennial hurricane blows and the wind and sun.

"Shakira, here we go! We must manipulate the Wind Elf to keep it from hitting the rocks!Now to the right!" Hale exclaimed.

Shakira nodded and worked with Hale to move the Wind Elf to the right with object movement, successfully bypassing a mountain peak in front of them, and then the three of them were shocked to find themselves in a strange maze of peaks.

The mountain peaks in front of the three of them were like sharp swords piercing out of the clouds below, huge and straight, they were arranged in a chaotic manner in front of them, some high and some low, uneven, most of them reflected strange light under the light of illumination.

Most of these peaks are more than 5,000 feet high, but because the mountainsides are covered in clouds and mist, they don't look as majestic as expected.

Hall's Wind Elf, the Wind Elf, would move in a subtle way whenever they encountered the mountain they were about to mount, allowing them to easily navigate the mountain.

Hall knew that this might be what Nar was talking about.

However, he still didn't dare to let his guard down, and every time he would use the object movement technique to keep the wind goblin as far away from danger as possible.

After flying cautiously for about a quarter of an hour, Hall gradually felt that his move was in vain, and even if he didn't let go, the wind tunnel would guide the wind elf well.

Shakira also noticed this, and the two decided to revoke the magic at the same time.

As soon as the mana was revoked, Hale noticed that the Wind Elf seemed to be driving more steadily than he had been under his own control.

He smiled wryly at Shakira, who replied with a trademark smile, "It's a lot easier now." ”

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and were finally able to sit down on the floor.

At this time, Hall was not busy resting, but took out the map, pointed to the Giffen Mountains above, and said: "We need to cross the Giffen Mountains longitudinally, and the distance we need to cross is seven hundred miles, and it will take about four hours at the current speed. ”

Shakira smiled and said, "This air tunnel is really convenient, I think if we didn't have it, even if we were able to walk through the valley, it would probably take half a month." ”

Hale nodded and said, "That's right, the Giffen Mountains are one of the largest mountain systems in Luenmigald. ”

At this time, Worf, who was in a daze, said: "You see, it seems to be snowing. ”

Hearing this, Hall subconsciously looked out, and sure enough, he saw that goose feathers and heavy snow suddenly fell between the valleys.

Hall thought to himself, sure enough, the cloud above his head was a snow cloud, but fortunately he was in the wind tunnel now, and the voyage would not be affected by the wind and snow.

However, within a few seconds, Hall noticed that the entire Wind Elf had begun to vibrate violently for some reason.

The three of them were all shocked, and when they looked up, they saw that the snow flakes had formed ice clumps due to the blowing of the wind, and they smashed into the top of the outer bubbles of the wind fairy like a fist.

The rapidly falling ice balls were constantly crashing into the bubbles, and while the magic bubbles weren't tough enough to be destroyed by such a bombardment, it was only a matter of time before the defenses collapsed.

Hall touched his forehead and said to himself: "How did I forget, the snow flakes are very large ice masses at extremely high altitudes, and the goose feathers and heavy snow you see on the ground are formed by peeling off and scattering little by little during the descent process. The power of this snow mass is not much different from that of a meteor falling. ”

At this point, Hale had already activated the bubble technique again, adding five more layers of bubble defense to the original outer bubble, which made the wind fairy stabilize a bit.

However, Hall did not relax for a moment of peace, and said to the other two, "We need to descend now, and we better find a shelter." ”

Wolf frowned and asked, "Why, isn't this ice mass blocked?"

Hall shook his head, frowned, and said, "Adding a few more layers of bubbles can indeed prevent the attack of ice balls, but I have already tried, and more than three layers of bubbles will cause the bubbles to be poorly filtered, and it won't be long before we will have difficulty breathing." And according to Nar's voyage diary, the altitude is more than 5,000 feet, and the air is already very thin. ”
