Chapter 4 - Pegasus
It was dawning, and a horse moved somewhat unsteadily, carrying two men covered in dust and dirt on its back.
In the distance, beside the railway, several carriages were quietly parked on the tracks, surrounded by hospital boats and troop carriers, and the lights were bright at the moment. The searchlights on the troop carriers shone in all directions, like the lights of a carnival.
"Honey, isn't there a carnival over there, we ......" the woman on horseback pointed in the direction of the light.
Before she could speak, she was covered by the man behind her, and continued to move forward silently and slowly.
Lian Shan and Duan En sat on the steps used to board the hospital boat at the back of the boat, as several uniformed medical personnel examined and treated their injuries.
Both of them had black faces and did not say a word, like puppets at the mercy of medical personnel.
After the examination, a medical staff handed over two glasses of steaming water, and the two of them subconsciously reached out and took it, regardless of the temperature of the water, they directly put it into their mouths and drank it all.
"Hello two, National Defenders, can you answer some of our questions now?"
A man in a trimmed beige uniform saw that the two had finished their inspection and walked over to salute them.
Both of them lowered their heads and looked at the empty cup in their hands, and after a while, Duan En nodded first.
"Are you both passengers on this train?" The soldier of the Guards unit asked.
Both nodded. "We didn't find anyone else in the car, did the air thieves take hostages?" The soldier asked.
Yes, of course there are no people, everyone seems to have vaporized, so many innocent people just disappeared out of thin air.
Another soldier jumped out of the carriage and quickly ran to the soldier who was interrogating Lian Shan and Duan En with a frightened face.
He leaned his mouth into the ear of the interrogating soldier and whispered
"Captain, the composition of the dust left in the carriage has been detected, is it...... Ashes. ”
The captain's face suddenly became gloomy, "Please don't leave, you two, I'll be back later." ”
With that, the captain quickly boarded the carriage with another soldier.
When the captain first saw the carriage, he saw the ashes all over the car, and he didn't think of the ashes, thinking that it was the remnants of magic caused by a magic explosion.
This time he boarded the car again, and he looked at the ash all over the car, and he wanted to vomit a little.
"Have the medical staff test the three people out there one more time, and test one more magic affinity." The captain said to the soldiers behind him with some anger.
It didn't take long for a medical staff to follow the soldier to the captain.
"Except for the white-haired girl, the other two didn't detect any magical affinity." The medical staff said.
"Is the white-haired girl's magic affinity level high?" The captain asked.
"According to the national rating standard, the magic affinity level is around the level of the superior magician." The medical staff said.
"Do you want to interrogate her alone, Captain?" The soldier asked the captain.
The captain pinched his chin with his hand, pondered for a moment, and shook his head.
"It seems that among the carjacking air thieves, there is an existence with unfathomable strength that is even more unfathomable than the country's chief magician." Said the captain.
"But what is the need for such a strong person to act for a light-haul train in the middle of the night?" The team member asked.
"You send the identities of those three survivors back to the headquarters using projection technology to check their backgrounds." After the captain finished speaking, the team members nodded and trotted out of the door.
He picked up a notebook from the back seat of a troop carrier, opened it, put his hand on a piece of paper, and then the words on the paper floated up from the paper as if they came to life, and then slowly turned into a virtual shadow.
Originally, they thought it was a train derailment, but they rushed here with only medical personnel and their own team members, but when they came, they learned that it was actually an air thief carjacking. The most incredible thing is that one of the country's chief magicians died here.
"Duan En, did you say they would rest in peace?" Lian Shan asked, holding a glass of refilled water to the sky.
"At least...... Let's get revenge on them. Duan En looked at his hands.
"This brute, don't think about going to hell lightly today." Lian Shan closed his eyes. "Today's bridge in the underworld will definitely be blocked."
There was a moment of silence.
"Where will you go after that?" Duan En turned his head to look at Lian Shan.
"Go and finish your studies honestly, right? What about you? Lian Shan also turned his head and looked at Duan En with a smile and said.
"Go open a blacksmith shop! Then use the money you earn to make something I love! At this time, Duan En seemed to be able to see his masterpiece in front of him, and grinned happily.
"I didn't expect the two of you to be so unpretentious." A female voice came from the side of the hospital boat.
The two looked in the direction of the voice, and it was the beautiful white-haired girl from before.
"The two of you saved my life, and I can't express my gratitude in words." The white-haired girl said.
"Please allow me to introduce myself, I am Yaxing He, the eldest princess of the Yaxing Kingdom." As she spoke, the girl made a royal salute.
"Well, then everything makes sense." Lianshan said.
Seeing that Lian Shan and Duan En were not only not surprised by their identity, but now it even seemed as if they had known about it for a long time.
"See Her Royal Highness the Princess." Duan En jumped down the stairs and bowed his head to one knee. Lian Shan also knelt down on one knee like Duan En.
"Please don't do that, two of you." Yaxinghe blushed and stretched out two hands to hold the arms of the two people who were squatting.
"The first time I saluted the royal family, I wanted to try this very handsome etiquette, but I never had the chance." Duan En was helped up and said with a smile.
"Why should I learn from this fool!" Lianshan thought with black lines on his head.
"Why would the chief magician of the country run after the princess? The group of air thieves before are also accomplices, right? Lian Shan asked.
The princess turned her head to look around, and there were many soldiers and medical personnel from the Guardian Force nearby.
"There are a lot of people here, so please follow me to the "Pegasus" to talk about it in detail. The princess said.
The Pegasus is a large, high-speed airboat for the exclusive use of the Imperial Family, named after the busts of the two white horses in front of the airboat.
Lian looked around the mountains and searched the sky again, but he didn't find the Pegasus.
"It should be coming soon." Yaxinghe also looked at the sky.
Before the words fell, a yellow bright spot appeared in the clouds of the night sky.
In just one minute, the bright spots are getting bigger and bigger, and you can already see the appearance of the Pegasus.
"That's a lot of speed." Duan En sighed.
Ya Xinghe thought that Duan En was sighing at the speed at which Tianma came to take over, and smiled bitterly, "I originally ran out secretly, and what I provided to the guard troops just now was a fake name that only the Royal Guards know, so I thought it was time to come now." ”
In fact, Duan En sighed at the speed of Pegasus' maneuvering, and he thought, "It should be at least four matrix engines, no, six!" ”
Lian Shan glanced at Duan En, and his eyes were about to drool.
As he landed, four beams of light shot out from the bottom of Pegasus, and they began to slow down, kicking up countless clouds of smoke and dust.
The giant Pegasus barely made a sound when it landed, and sat firmly on the ground. After that, the hatch opened, and two columns of soldiers in ornate uniforms galloped down the Pegasus and stood still, forming a corridor of soldiers.
Then a man with a half-shoulder cloak quickly ran to the soldiers of the guard unit, and they saw that the man with a half-shoulder cloak had said a few words to the previous captain, and the captain stood still and immediately saluted.
It was the salute of the soldiers of the army to the officers who were higher than themselves, bowed their heads, and then their arms were perpendicular to their chests, and the palms of their hands were folded together, and the fingertips were pressed against their foreheads. It means that my hands and eyes are always at your service.
On the airship, a burly man in a double-shouldered cloak stepped out of the ranks of soldiers. After he stepped on the ground, his eyes looked around, and after that, he saw Ya Xinghe, Lian Shan, and Duan En, and walked quickly towards the three of them.
"Uncle......" Ya Xinghe lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.
"You......" The man called Uncle gently pinched Ya Xinghe's nose.
"Uncle! These two saved me from Hengqi! Ya Xinghe raised his head and looked at the man, stretched out his hand and pointed at Lian Shan and Duan En with his five fingers.
After hearing this, the man immediately knelt down on one knee towards the two. "Thank you two for saving your life, you can't repay it!"
Lian Shan and Duan Enmeng stood dumbfounded, not knowing if they could help this man.
Lian Shan hurriedly said, "Uh, uncle...... Your Excellency, it doesn't have to be like this. ”
"yes, yes, no hassle." Duan En also chimed in.
The man still lowered his head, his face full of black lines, "Raise your hands" and "didn't bother much", they killed the chief magician who could block thousands of troops alone.
The man felt that the distance between the two juniors was far away from him all of a sudden, and the city was unfathomable.
"Uncle, they're passengers on their way, and now the train can't go any further, so let's give them a ride with a Pegasus." As he spoke, Ya Xinghe stretched out his hand and grabbed the two of them, as if he was afraid that Lian Shan and Duan En would run away.
"It's really rude, delaying the normal trip of the two of you, if you don't dislike it, please board the Pegasus with us, and I will send the two of you to your destination." The man extended an invitation to Lian Shan and Duan En.
"Okay, okay, just have a car to sit on." Duan En touched his head happily.
Lian Shan pinched Duan En and said in a low voice, "People are polite to you, you're really welcome, just wait for us to go with the car of the guard troops." ”
"Ah......h
"I don't mean to be polite to you, if you can ride with us, it will be my honor." The man heard the two of them whispering.
"yes, yes, Pegasus is fast, and the refreshments are delicious, the seats are comfortable, and it's ......quiet," Yaxinghe frantically searched for the merits of Pegasus in his head like a salesman selling Pegasus.
"Yes, yes, yes." Duan En is like a horse in the stall, ready to rush out.
Lianshan saw him like this, so he said, "Thank you." ”
In the quiet of the night, the small insects and resting birds on the plain were suddenly awakened and fled in all directions.
Pegasus is activated.
It slowly lifted, and the white spheres around the hull began to rotate around the hull.
"There are no anomalies on the ground." "There are no anomalies in the airspace." "The range is unimpeded." In the cockpit of the airship, six pilots were busy operating the control station made of crystals in front of them.
"Pekassas, liftoff!" The commander at the front shouted.
Pegasi roared in midair, and the ground shook, and the white orb became crystal clear.
Lian Shan looked out the window, she was familiar with this phenomenon, which was the result of the material being infused with a certain intensity of magic.
With a bang, the Pegasus rose vertically towards the clouds rapidly, and even the clouds did not dare to stop it, and where the Pegasus sailed, the dense clouds were broken through one hole after another.
Four large, crystal-clear orbs surround directly below Pegasus, forming a ring of yellow fire rings.
Four more hovered above Pegasi's head, sending out waves of ripples that enveloped Pegasus.
Under this terrifying ascent acceleration, the people in the boat didn't have the pain caused by gravity overload, and if it weren't for the rapid change of scenery outside the window, Duan En would have thought that Tianma hadn't moved.
"It's amazing." Duan En couldn't help but exclaim.
He wanted to take Pegasus apart and study the structure right now.
Lian Shan looked at Duan En, she understood that this was not a manifestation of not seeing the world, it was a manifestation that only came when she had a strong interest in one thing.
The man smiled, "If your Excellency is interested in Pegasus, I can call the engineer who is with you." ”
"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you." Duan En hurriedly rubbed his hands together with a smile on his face and thanked him.
Lian Shan felt that at this time, the man sold Duan En, and Duan En would also help count the money.
I was going to go to a business school in a small place overnight, sleep well on the way, and wake up to get off the bus to report.
She looked at the gorgeous skyline in the distance at this time, formed by the morning sun in a daze.
"Why did you come to the sky??" Lian Shan thought with one hand covering his face.
