181 Steampunk?

The hot air balloon was designed by Zhuang Hong to be extremely large, and it was not far from Shoujiang City.

After flying, many people in the city spotted the giant hot air balloon.

After a while, the entire Shoujiang City became lively, and almost everyone looked up, happy and surprised, as if they had seen something terrible.

Some people even thought that this was the car of the gods, and they were parading the world in the car, kneeling down and praying.

Zhuang Hong wanted to float directly to the northeast, but after seeing the people shouting all over the city, he suddenly made a temporary move and controlled the hot air balloon to fly over Shoujiang City.

As a result, the people in the hot air balloon looked down at the people in the city, and the people in the city looked up at the people in the hot air balloon, and both sides had an unprecedented sense of novelty.

Until the hot air balloon flies into the distance and can no longer be seen, Shoujiang City is still lively.

This is destined to be the most talkative thing in their lives.

After listening to Zhuang Hong explain the principle of hot air balloons and learning how to operate hot air balloons, Dai Zhengxin kept muttering as if he was fascinated: "Hot air rises, cold air falls, and the force is mutually ......."

He looked at the flamethrower that looked like a flameball in a hot air balloon from time to time, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"The wonder of this world, it turns out that there are not only runes, but more world rules hidden around us, but we lack a pair of eyes to discover. Brother Zhuang didn't lie to me, runes can really completely change people's lives and make this world no longer the same. ”

Wen Zhijing also came to Dai Zhengxin's side and said: "As long as we continue to explore and move forward, the future we fantasize about will definitely become a reality." ”

Zhuang Hong sat on the side and watched the two encourage each other, his eyes flashed with longing for the future, and said secretly: "It's true that runes can achieve various effects, but if you want to popularize them, you have to find cheap energy sources that are suitable for runes, otherwise, in the end, you can only make it convenient for those who have cultivation talents." ”

However, Zhuang Hong did not say anything to discourage them.

Maybe we will be able to find the right cheap energy source in the future? Anything is possible.

……

Traveling in a hot air balloon is much faster than walking on the ground.

You can ignore the complex terrain, that is, it will be affected by strong winds, and it is okay to have a tailwind, but it is difficult to fly against the wind.

In addition, there are some inconveniences.

For example, after flying for less than four hours, Dai Zhengxin said with an ugly face: "Brother Zhuang, do you want to stop for a while to solve personal problems." ”

Zhuang Hong opened his eyes and saw that everyone was suffocating and uncomfortable, and suddenly realized: "Yes, you still have to eat, drink and Lazar." It's really time to stop and recuperate. ”

When everyone heard this, they secretly complained: "It seems that you don't have to eat and drink Lazar." ”

After a short rest, they set off again, and then the hot air balloon was controlled by Dai Zhengxin and Wen Zhijing in turn.

And Zhuang Hong closed his eyes and leaned on the basket, and entered the world of knowing the sea to study the runes.

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Come up and look, there's a harbor city over there."

At this time, a student shouted excitedly.

When everyone heard this, they got up from their baskets and looked into the distance, seeing the large and busy harbor city in the distance.

"Is that the Lingmen Port where you can take a boat to the Gate of the Spirit Sea?"

"I don't know, but as expected, it should have arrived."

Dai Zhengxin: "Let's put away the hot air balloon first, and then walk over together to see how about it?" ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately agreed.

It's been ten days since I flew, and after that period of novelty and excitement, I miss the feeling of having fun on the ground.

Zhuang Hong also stretched his waist: "Just go for a walk, move around." ”

So Dai Zhengxin lowered the hot air balloon, folded it, and stuffed it into Zhuang Hong's storage bag.

The group walked towards the port.

This harbor city is called Lingmen Port, which is the port that Zhuang Hong and others are looking for to lead to the gate of Linghai.

Lingmen Port is not big, but it is very lively, there is an endless stream of people coming and going, most of them are rune masters, and there are countless workers who load and unload goods naked, and large ships dock next to the harbor, waiting for the goods to be loaded and unloaded and set sail.

Zhuang Hong and the others were not in a hurry to go to the gate of the Linghai at this time, they planned to find out the specific information here first, and then they would not be able to land on the island stupidly.

They searched for a long time to find an inn with guest rooms, and after washing up, they gathered in the lobby to eat.

When the guy in the shop was serving, Dai Zhengxin took out a few silver coins and put them in the guy's hand, and then asked, "This little brother, ask you about something, do you know when the ship heading for the gate of the spiritual sea will set sail?" We were about to go to the Gate of the Spirit Sea, but we didn't know if there were ships to go back and forth? ”

The guy in the shop showed an expression that was really like this, and quickly put away the money: "That's a lot, you go to the port and ask casually, seventy percent of the ships are going to the gate of the spiritual sea." However, you said that in recent months, the gate of the Spirit Sea has been under construction, and a lot of goods have to be transported from our mainland, which has made it difficult to get enough ships to and fro.

In addition, there have been more talismans going to the Gate of the Spirit Sea recently, and the price of taking a boat is not cheap, I heard that it has recently risen to fifty silver coins per person, and there are still many people rushing to go, and there is not necessarily a place if you have money. Therefore, if you want to land on the island by boat, you still need to book a queue, and you have to queue for three or five days. ”

Dai Zhengxin was surprised: "Why did the number of people who landed on the island suddenly increase?" ”

Man: "Before, everyone didn't know the location of the Spirit Sea Gate, and Master Fu didn't let us spread it at will, but didn't you ask for a lot of supplies a few months ago?" The news spread through the people who purchased it, and many talismans came here, how could it be? ”

"I see. I don't know how big the Spirit Sea Gate is, and if it can squeeze out so many people......"

To be precise, they also got the news from those merchants, so they easily found this place.

The man said: "Don't worry, the Gate of the Spirit Sea is not a small island, but a super island, and it doesn't matter how many people go there." ”

"Have you been?"

The guy smiled awkwardly: "No...... I haven't been there, but I've heard about it. ”

"If you're going by boat, how long will it take?"

"It might take three days for the slower ones, and two days for the faster ones."

After the guy left, Dai Zhengxin said: "Do we have to wait a few days to land on the island by boat, or ......?"

In the vast sea, and I don't know where the gate of the spiritual sea is, it's easy to get lost, and once you take off, it's not easy to land.

So in Dai Zhengxin's view, it is safer to take a boat.

Zhuang Hong said: "Four or five days is too long, let's just fly over in a hot air balloon." There are so many ships coming and going at sea, so you don't have to worry about getting lost at sea if you follow the direction of the ship. Moreover, I also have a way to find the gate of the spiritual sea, don't worry. ”

After Zhuang Hong demonstrated the technology of the hot air balloon, Dai Zhengxin and others faintly took Zhuang Hong as the leader, and attached great importance to Zhuang Hong's opinions, and if it was not a matter of principle, they would basically not refute it.

Zhuang Hong said, Dai Zhengxin immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then we will fly over in a hot air balloon tomorrow." ”

The next day, Zhuang Hong and others took a hot air balloon again, flew high in the air and drifted overseas, flying faster and faster.

In less than a day, Zhuang Hong saw an arch-shaped island from high in the sky, like an N-shape, enclosing a huge bay.

On the north side of the arch are topped by two and a half mountains, almost equal in height, and the terrain gradually flattens outward along the two wings of the arch.

The island was so huge that Zhuang Hong visually measured the distance between the left and right arches of more than twenty kilometers.

At this time, ships are entering the bay and docking at the port.

This island is the legendary holy place of runemasters, the Gate of the Spirit Sea.

The height of the hot air balloon slowly decreased, and after flying closer, Zhuang Hong and the others saw the huge city in the bay clearly.

Dai Zhengxin, Wen Zhijing and the students were all stunned, and the shock in their hearts was beyond words.

Even the well-informed Zhuang Hong could not hide the surprise in his heart.

I couldn't help but mutter: "How does this city look like a steampunk feeling......"

The city at the gate of the spiritual sea and the city on the continent seem to be two different worlds.
