Chapter 53: A Girl Who Longs to Fly to the Sky

"It must be that group of halflings are doing some new tricks again." Theodore sighed, and then led the group through the dense crowd.

Lynn soon saw the noble status of the wizard, and the incomparably crowded harbor residents spontaneously moved out of the way of an aisle after seeing the badge on Theodore's chest, and several people quickly crowded to the front and saw the scene in the center of the square.

On the smooth stone pavement is a huge aircraft about two meters tall and nearly seven meters long.

No, it would be a bit of a misappropriation to describe it as a flying machine, for it seems a little too rudimentary, a frame made of wood and steel, tightly tied with cowhide ropes at the joints, and then covered with a canvas made of camel leather.

It looked like a monster hovering on the ground, spreading its wings and waving it, drawing the screams of the onlookers.

"It's big!" Jonny looked at the flying machine in astonishment, and the whole person was shocked beyond words. "Is this a newly invented alchemical apparatus in the Wizarding Lands?"

"Of course not!" Theodore patted his forehead, and he didn't dare to look at it at all, he only hoped that this time he would not be too embarrassed in front of outsiders.

Lynn was amused, he didn't expect to encounter such a strange sight as soon as he entered the harbor of Iyeta.

Is this a test flight?

At a glance, Lynn saw the propellers suspended from the double wings.

But if it's powered by steam only...... I'm afraid the outcome is worrying......

Although he thought so, Lynn still looked at this flying machine intently, every attempt by humans to fly is worth boasting about, not to mention that this world has the existence of magic, so nothing is impossible.

"Hey~"

Just as he was thinking, Lynn saw a young figure climb up to the top of the aircraft, tie the last connection point with a cowhide rope, and then sit directly in the cabin.

She looked to be only eight or nine years old, dressed in a dirty and dusty short robe, her hair was disheveled by the wind, her face was stained with dusty mud, her sleeves and trouser legs were tied up, and she wore large windproof goggles on top of her head, and she was full of energy and energy!

"What a little ...... Why did you choose to let a child fly this flying machine? Lynn asked in surprise.

"No, you're mistaken, Lydia is a halfling, in fact she's sixteen years old." Theodore explained.

Is that so? Lynn took a closer look, only to find that the girl's ears were slightly pointed, and her pupils and hair color were also a little special, and it was actually difficult to distinguish between a halfling and an ordinary human in her childhood, and the other party's face looked very young, so he didn't recognize it at all.

"Lydia, or forget it......"

At this time, in the square, several halflings were gathering in front of the aircraft to do the final maintenance work, and one of the very old halflings put their hands on the "fuselage" of the aircraft and shook it vigorously a few times, as if to test the sturdiness of this thing.

Of course, it would be better if it fell apart, so that the other party could only give up this unrealistic fantasy.

"Don't worry, Uncle Darren, I've made all the preparations this time, and I'm sure it will happen." The girl named Lydia slapped away the other party's troublesome hand, pulled the windshield on her head hard, put her hand on the controller, and said confidently. "Alright, I'm leaving, let's all disperse!"

But that's what you said last time...... A group of halflings complained silently in their hearts, but they still avoided it, mainly because they also felt that it was a very humiliating thing to gather here, and it was likely to be even more humiliating later.

And although those wizard adults don't say it on the surface, they must have opinions about them occupying the city square and making such a big mess.

Sudden ......

With puffs of smoke pouring out from above the fuselage, the steam power drove the propellers on both sides to start spinning, and when everyone in front of them had dispersed to make way for a passage, Lydia pulled the wrench, using the straight street as the runway, and the huge aircraft rushed straight ahead.

"Can this thing really fly?" Jonny was intrigued, and of course she could see it, like a very large bird.

"It should be possible, but there is a high probability that it can only fly a little bit......" Lynn didn't sense the magic fluctuation the whole time, he had already met the fate of this thing.

Jonny's whole person is confused, what does it mean to only fly a little?

Theodore shook his head, he didn't think it could fly.

Flying alone is the preserve of high-ranking wizards, and no one can soar freely above the skies except for those griffin knights trained by the Sekas Empire.

Under everyone's attention, the speed of the huge flying machine became faster and faster, rushing through the city square.

A large, long slope had been erected on the opposite street to provide the height difference, and Lydia was extremely nervous, staring at the front with her eyes under the windbreak.

When the aircraft under her rushed to the top of the slope, the girl pressed the controller hard, and the aircraft violently shook its huge wings like a bird, and flew directly over the slope with the last lift.

"It's really flying!"

Theodore's whole body was disheveled, and his face was full of disbelief, and the civilians who were also watching this scene were also shocked.

"Oh my God, she really did it!"

"Lydia, who is worthy of [skillful hands], is really amazing, and I also bought those gadgets made by her, they are as magical as the wizard's magic tools......"

"She will definitely be able to pass the selection this year......"

……

The halflings below were even more happy, dancing one by one, cheering loudly, "Lydia is the proud ...... of the halflings" and "She will definitely become the first halfling wizard......"

However, they celebrated too early, and countless problems were exposed after the aircraft lifted off with the help of thrust.

Rejoicing in her successful liftoff, Lydia adjusted her course and planned to fly around the harbor of Iyeta, but after a few seconds, she found that her aircraft had lost its balance and was rapidly falling.

Lydia hurriedly pulled the wrench, trying to control the wings to swing up and down, imitating the flight of a bird to provide lift, but unfortunately this only made things worse, and the flight trajectory of the aircraft immediately became crooked, like a wurm hit by magic, falling from mid-air with a whirl......
