Chapter Ninety-One: Airship
After clearing the hunter's hut where he had lived for almost a year, pack all the materials and personal belongings in the storage box, and ask the caravan to help send them.
Before dawn, Gordon took the pork chop and quietly left the hunter's meeting place.
There is no need to say hello to friends, everything that should be said at last night's farewell reception, just set off quietly at this time.
"Where are we going now?"
The pork chop carrying its own small package noticed that the direction they were heading at this time was not the route of the sunrise city, and it couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Chengxi, let's go to Chengxi to take an airship."
"Airship meow?! We're going to take an airship to Volcano Meow this time? The pork chop's ears stood up with excitement.
Gordon, who was also flying in an airship for the first time, was just as excited.
"That's right! Yesterday the Elder told me that there was a Scrivener airship going to Naguli today, and that you could take her letter of introduction with you for a ride if needed! ”
One man and one cat almost trotted all the way to the airship flat in the west of the city, which was a huge platform composed of two stone platforms about two stories high.
The airship's cabin is held between two stone platforms by steel cables, and the airbags float above the stone platforms, on which two technicians are climbing, adjusting the propellers and rudders.
Slightly different from the observation hot air balloons that are occasionally seen in hunting grounds, airships are much larger and more complex.
The huge pod looked like a wooden ship, with airbags and slings replacing the sail masts, intricate cables, power mechanisms, auxiliary sails, and all sorts of strange contraptions, all of which showed that this thing was much more sophisticated than those sailboats.
"Wow~!" Looking at the airship, Gordon couldn't help but let out an insightful exclamation.
"Woo meow!" The same goes for pork chops.
"Haha, she's Yunfei, a beautiful beauty, right!"
Laughing and coming to Gordon's side was a middle-aged man with strong muscles and dark skin, his hands and feet were thick, and his canvas sleeves and trouser legs were tied with strings, giving him a neat and sophisticated appearance.
"Ah, hello, yes, she's beautiful." Gordon looked at the airship in front of him and admired it sincerely.
Gordon's heartfelt compliment made the man very satisfied, he took the initiative to stretch out his palm to shake Gordon, and introduced himself: "I am the operator of this airship, everyone calls me Lao Hei, young hunter, is there anything that can help you?" ”
Gordon wasn't surprised that the other party could call out his profession, after all, only hunters in the world would run around in heavy armor all day long.
"My name is Gordon, and I'm going to go to Naguli Village, and the elder told me that I might be able to take a ride, ah, yes, here's my letter of introduction." As he spoke, Gordon handed over the scroll that the president had given him.
The old black middle-aged man glanced at Gordon with a little surprise, and after taking the scroll, he didn't open it directly, but turned around and shouted in the direction of the pod:
"Professor! Professor! Come here, there is a hunter with a letter of introduction from President Fanyuan! ”
"Bang!"
A clamshell on the deck of the pod was opened, and a small figure came out, climbed up to the side of the ship in two or three times, and slid down the fixed rope hanging from the pod to the stone platform where Gordon and the others were.
It wasn't until he came to him that Gordon saw that it was a short old man barely taller than his thighs.
Pointed ears and recurved feet show his identity as a dragonman.
His wrinkled face and thin frame made him look almost as old as the old chief of Cocot, but his incredible skill was no worse than that of any hunter Gordon knew.
His temperament seemed to be very anxious, and without waiting for Lao Hei to hand him the scroll, he jumped up more than half a meter high and snatched the scroll over.
Unfolding the scroll with a "swish", it took him almost only two or three seconds to read it all.
Then he jumped up to Gordon again, and saw him pull down some kind of optical instrument attached to his head, composed of many glass lenses and fine metal parts, and put it in front of his eyes, and look at Gordon.
The lenses of different sizes "clicked" and switched under the professor's adjustment, and Gordon looked through the lenses as his eyes zoomed in and out for a moment.
"Well, there's no problem with the letter of introduction, so it's okay to let you take a ride, the little girl said that you are from the village of Kokot, is that old guy okay?"
The old dragon man, who was called "Professor" by Lao Hei, was very fast in terms of speech speed and movement, giving people the feeling of being a tin toy with too much head on the clockwork, and even a little nervous.
The "old guy" in the professor's mouth obviously refers to the old village chief, who is also an elderly dragon clan, and the slow old village chief are simply two extremes.
"The village chief is very good, but in recent years, he has been a little senile, I mean the feeling of being confused"
"He's pretending."
The professor interrupted Gordon's words with a wave of his hand, and commented unceremoniously: "When you are demented, the old guy who likes to waste his life will not be demented, he can use his limited life to explore the infinite mysteries of this world, and I don't know what he is doing in that small village all day long." ”
Gordon tugged at the corners of his mouth, not knowing how to answer, and had a toothache.
"The departure time is coming soon, you two big and three thick don't pestle are wasting time here, hurry up and move supplies for me!" The professor jumped to his feet, and his sharp rebuke confused Gordon and the old black.
"Ah, yes, yes!" Gordon subconsciously stood up straight, and trotted all the way to work with the same shocked old black.
"And you!"
The professor turned to the pork chop that was about the same height as him, "Do you think that Ailu Cat doesn't have to work, you can hurry up and carry supplies for me!"
With one more person and one cat, plus luggage and equipment, two hundred kilograms of weight, plus corresponding drinking water and dry food, you tell them to prepare at least six more units of burning rock carbon, remember, remember, go quickly! ”
"Yes, obey meow!"
When carrying a bunch of boxes and actually boarding the Yunfei, Gordon once again sighed at the sheer size of the airship.
In his eyes, the Yunfei, with its ten-meter-long gondola and huge airbags several times the size of the pod, was of course a behemoth, but in fact, it could only be regarded as a small man among airships.
As for the real big airship .
The "Fourth New World Ancient Dragon Investigation Group", which was discussed among the hunters a while ago, was on a large airship when it went to the New World.
It is rumored that the airship can carry the entire village with people and supplies, and after landing, it will be a complete hunter's stronghold.
The preparatory activities before departure were in full swing, and as for the official take-off of the Yunfei airship, it was already more than an hour later.
During this time, as a qualified cow and horse, most of the supplies on the airship were carried by the able-bodied Gordon alone.
Seeing that Gordon was lifting things at most, the professor, who valued efficiency the most, decisively sent the old black finger to check the airbag and power unit again, but gave the airship platform staff who were originally responsible for carrying it a vacation.
It's 200,000 words, and the application for signing is still unsuccessful, sighing, it's good that we don't rely on writing books to eat, otherwise we would have starved to death.
