Chapter 507: Snowy Night
As long as no one is willing to help the goblins in their crusade against the 'evil creatures', there is basically no danger to Mel. Being able to be the messenger of the World Tree is not something that just two goblins can deal with. Unless the real goblin Sword Saint is on top.
It's just that the Dark Elf Lady is now sitting on the snow in a daze, letting the snowflakes from the moonlit night pile up on her, and nothing happens.
It's normal to think about it, no one can still be alive in the first place after a crash.
It's like a person who has never been on a roller coaster before, and the first time he runs to ride a difficult roller coaster, there are very few people who can walk normally after coming down. It's still a safety ride.
And the airship fall incident that I just experienced is really the kind that is one step short and has to kill and injure most of the people. So it's no wonder that this dark elf, who has probably lived underground for most of her life, will be shocked and still speechless, even if the goblins shout at her.
Uzov may have experienced a lot of life-and-death dangers, and although air crashes are not common, his psychological adjustment is still very fast. After a while, he returned to normal and helped check everyone's injuries.
Just now, the dwarves, instigated by the goblins, prepared to attack the dark elves. In fact, their mental state is still confused, and there are large and small bruises and contusions all over their bodies. It wasn't until Uzov was about to help them deal with it that the four remembered to shout.
Harumi and Kaya were almost awakened by their sister before returning to normal. Although the two girls are not well-informed compared to old bird adventurers like Uzov, they are better than a former demon king, and their hearts are tempered to the point where they can be used to drive nails.
Seeing that the two girls didn't need any psychological construction, Lin directly asked them to go to the wreckage of the airship to check what other materials were available, and what was left of their belongings. Most importantly, find some clothes to wear out. It's too cold.
Not only himself, the two apprentices, but also the four silverbearded dwarves, all shivering and sneezing. Jermaine, the most among the dwarves, even thought that he would rather be roasted and sweat by the forge than stay even a minute longer in this environment where people could freeze to death.
At this time, Lin suddenly remembered and said with emotion: "Ah, I haven't eaten dinner yet." "Will it be like this, hungry on the road? Someone thought to himself. But when I thought about it, I didn't dare to say it, for fear of setting up a flag for myself again.
However, the only one in the group who did not suffer any harm and was also protected by magic and adapted to such an extreme climate was still silent at this time, looking like he was remorseful. After all, the airship will be held, but it is completely the insistence of the former demon king. From the very beginning, someone wants to hide as far as they want.
But someone came up behind her and said, "There is a saying in my hometown that manpower is sometimes poor. It's not your fault, so you don't have to think too much about it. "Those who should be persuaded still have to be persuaded.
What Lin is most afraid of is not another crash or something, but what he is most afraid of is that the former demon king will start to drill the horns of the bull again and draw some strange conclusions. For example, in order to prohibit goblins from making airships, they want to conquer the world. After all, she had done it before, in order to slaughter the gods, so she easily conquered the world or something.
But the kind care is in exchange for angry eyes. In fact, anything you say at this time will sound like a stone in the ears of the person concerned. Especially if someone has a history of complaining, who knows if he is talking back.
I wanted to teach this short-eyed guy a hard lesson, but when I turned my head, it was a man with two lines of snot and white lips talking seriously, and Fen suddenly didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
Suddenly, under the moonlit night, a wolf howl sounded. The long howl, which was originally silent in the snow, added a bit of poignancy and awakened the fear in people's hearts. The goblin father and daughter trembled even more, hid behind everyone, and said with a shrunken voice: "This is the snow wolf, we are finished, we are finished." ”
At the same time, not far away, a pack of wolves appeared. Behind the moonlit night, it was like a demon in the snow, waiting for the opportunity to pounce on the prey in their eyes. But in the next moment, there was a figure with a sword in the wolf pack, one sword and one end, and the sharpness of the box cut became a problem that almost all creatures could not solve. The snow wolf, which should have belonged to the predator, lay on the snow with a whining sound, dyed bright red.
Cutting the box into the snow, Lin grabbed the wolf's tail or wolf's legs, dragged three or two ends with one hand, and walked in the direction where the airship fell. As he walked breathlessly, he shouted, "Jermaine, come and take a hand and drag them back to skin." I don't want to freeze to death in the mountains, so I count on them. ”
As soon as they heard someone say hello, several dwarves who were about to freeze did not move. Including Uzov, everyone worked together to drag back the wolves that Lin had slaughtered, and then bleed and skinned them.
In order to be able to come in handy in time, what should have been a process of exposure and air-drying was changed to magic dehydration and drying. Because it is not a magic specifically designed to handle animal fur, Lin is a little clumsy to use, and even makes the leather a little damaged. In the eyes of the adventurous old bird Uzov, it is to spoil this good fur.
After a long night's work, everyone finally had a piece of skin to wrap themselves in.
This is still due to someone who is not used to the snow wolf pack after attacking the wolf pack, and scatters in a hurry after the first wolf is slaughtered. But how could the four legs be so fast as the pursuit of the flashing technique, in order to avoid the shortage of food and warm furs, Lin chased all the wolves that came into view and slaughtered them, which was enough for one person and a few leftovers.
The problem of keeping warm was temporarily solved, and another urgent solution was the dinner that I didn't eat. Just in the process of kneading the fur, the snow wolf that was dragged back had already bled out. So Lin casually picked one, entered the cabin of the fallen airship, and began to make a fire and barbecue. It's the easiest and quickest way to cook, because it's late at night and everyone is hungry.
Although the cabin of the airship is leaking everywhere, it is still much better than the situation outside where there is not even a covered roof. So everyone gathered around the fire in the cabin, biting on the hot snow wolf meat that was roasted until it was dry. At the same time, Harumi and Kaya also reported the results of the count.
Almost everything that could be burned was spared in the fire, including ropes, books, scrolls, clean clothes, travel bedding, and some leather goods such as backpacks and straps, as well as wooden boxes for storing and organizing.
Only a handful of storage chests made of magical materials are spared, including the large pile of kiel (gold coins), of course.
As for the dry food that was originally stored, even if it was not burned to ashes, it was still in a charred state, and none of it could be eaten.
The supplies that belong to airships are similar to the situation. However, as luck would have it, although the structure of the cabin was smashed, most of the materials remained. The fuel used in the propulsion mechanism is also estimated to have caused a lot of combustion, so even the goblins have paid attention to the fireproof design in this regard.
All of the mechanisms made of magic materials on the ship are broken, deformed, and unusable. However, as a material, it was well preserved and not destroyed by fire.
After an explosion and fire, the remaining part of the airbag above the airship may be less than one-third of the original one. The airbags that were patched everywhere are now in tatters, and they don't need to be evaluated by too many professionals, and they can know that there is no possibility of repairing them.
After understanding the current situation, coupled with the sudden accident, no one can sleep peacefully even if the night is late, and I am afraid that I will not wake up in this ice and snow. So everyone cheered up and discussed the next move.
Tokani, the goblin, patted his chest and reassured, "Your Excellency the Magician, give me three days, and I promise to repair the airship as good as new." When the time comes, we'll be back on our way to the holy city of Estali. Seeing the magician's actions before, Totokani knew how much resentment he had against the airship's name, so he didn't dare to mention the word 'Hindenburg' again.
But three days...... Everyone looked at the mess around them, and it was still a question of whether they could clean up the two goblins for three years, and no one believed that they could repair the airship in three days.
Not wanting to wait on the mountain and spend a few years, Lin took the initiative to make a request and said to the goblin father and daughter: "Fortunately, most of the structure of the airship, as well as all the mechanisms made of magic materials, are still there, and it is not a big problem to repair them." So I'm going to help and fix some of the designs that don't make sense. In addition, because there are not many remnants of the airbag, it may be necessary to consider other methods in the device to obtain buoyancy. I need the help of both of them, and I hope that they will help. ”
"It's impossible!" Totokani, who jumped up as if he had been stepped on by his tail, said excitedly: "This is my airship, which belongs to my private property. No one is qualified to touch her, not even a finger. Not to mention any repairs or retrofits. I would never allow such a thing! It's impossible to say anything. The Hindenburg is mine, mine alone! ”
The excited goblin said the forbidden name again, and the lich, whose face had remained gloomy, was about to attack, but was overshadowed by an even more powerful resentment around him. In the light of the fire, someone's skin seemed to be dyed red, like a demon crawling out of the abyss, and Lin asked with an evil smile and a look of contempt that he had never shown before:
"So, Your Excellency Totokani, what do you think of your epitaph, with the words 'Totokani? Afstein, year unknown, died in the year 731 of the Aramaic calendar, where the lord of the Hindenburg airship is laid to rest' While you may not be able to find a coffin that fits, I can guarantee that you will have a good stone and the most beautiful font for your tombstone to be hung up by. ”
