Chapter 66: A New Direction (End of Volume 3)
Leo poked his head out of the window and looked up, immediately shocked by what he saw.
It was a huge ship, made entirely of metal, shining in the sunlight and a very realistic statue of a metal dragon head at the bow. On the hull of the ship, it is clearly painted with the Ring of Frost ornamentation, and at a glance it is known that it belongs to the Ravengton School of Magic.
However, the ship was clearly not intended for sailing in the water, but for floating in the sky.
Judging from Leo's knowledge of physics, the size of this airship is too bloated, and the weight is probably very amazing, perhaps the technology of the previous life may not allow it to be suspended in the air.
But now, it floated steadily above the hotel, and there was no buoyancy in sight, and the two constantly roaring propellers at the tail were supposed to be only used to adjust the direction of the voyage, not to provide buoyancy.
A teenager in the nearby window shouted, "Wow! Look, it's the Skyfire!"
The next moment, the whole hotel, everywhere there was such a voice.
Almost everyone, whether a commoner or a nobleman, saw this airship for the first time, and the shock can be imagined.
"This is the power of magic...... Leo muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on the airship in the sky.
He could guess that the airship must have applied some kind of magical power to counteract the effects of gravity and float.
The time to travel to the world of Gaia is not short, and Leo has seen many wonderful things, but the scene in front of him is the first time that he really feels that the development of magic, like technology, can create miracles.
As soon as Sanders heard that it was the Heavenly Fire, where did he still have the heart to sleep, he jumped out of bed and rushed directly to the window. He also shouted: "Let me, let me see!"
Suddenly, Lorinda's loud voice came from all directions: "Attention all students, the Skyfire has arrived, please gather on the top floor of the hotel immediately, you only have ten minutes! Repeat, you only have ten minutes!"
"Ten minutes, but it's only seven o'clock!" Sanders screamed, and hurried back to the bed to get dressed.
............
Eight minutes later, Leo and Sanders were dragging two boxes and bringing Chubby in the form of a Nightblade Leopard. Finally, he reached the top floor of the hotel and boarded the Skyfire.
"Thank you so much, I can't take so many things myself. On the deck, the little fat man said breathlessly.
"You're welcome. Leo responded kindly. He had already noticed that there was a space ring on the other party's finger, and I am afraid that it had already been filled up before he could use the suitcase. But he really couldn't understand why he needed to bring so many things to enter the magic academy, so he asked curiously, "What do you have in your box?"
"Hey...... Saunders smiled and looked around warily. After making sure that no one was eavesdropping on him, he replied in a very low voice: "It's my strategic reserve, and as a friend, you can also share it." Trust me, you'll need it. β
"Strategic reserves?" Leo looked at the other party's slightly chubby figure, and noticed that Chubby was always sniffing at the box, and an answer suddenly appeared in his heart. said, "It won't be food, will it?"
"Shhhhh
"Guess. Leo smiled. Ignoring the unknown Sanders, he looked around.
At this moment, there were already a lot of people gathered on the deck, Leo roughly counted, it should be about one hundred and sixty or seventy, of which nobles and commoners probably accounted for the average, and the ratio of men and women was relatively balanced, which could reach six to four, which was almost all the students recruited by the Reventon Academy this time. Fortunately, the Skyfire was indeed large enough, and with so many people gathered on the deck, it still wouldn't look crowded.
Soon, Leo's eyes were drawn to the things on either side of the ship.
It was a row of metal pipes about ten centimeters in diameter, and at the junction with the side of the ship, there was a strange magic array device, which looked like some kind of weapon.
"The Garnon Magic Cannon, powered by the Mana Crystal, can continuously fire Level 5 Plastic Energy Magic, Garnon Thunderstorm Technique, at a speed of three times per second, which is very powerful. At some point, Lorinda appeared beside Leo and introduced in an admiring tone.
"Three times per second!" Leo's eyes widened. There are at least thirty metal pipes on one side of the ship alone, that is to say, nearly a hundred level 5 magic can be launched in one second, and if a salvo can be fired, the destructive power generated may not even be able to cope with the legendary mage.
"Yes, three times per second! Larinda affirmed, then she pointed to the dragon head statue on the bow of the ship, and continued, "That one has a similar function, it can fire level 9 magic, Doom Flame. However, the cost is so large that it is rarely used unless it is particularly urgent. β
Leo nodded, quickly accepting. Thinking about it, this kind of Cheng DΓΉ's energy consumption, how many magic crystals are needed to support it, it is not launching thunderstorm magic at all, but firing gold coins.
However, he also realized that this Skyfire airship was not only a transport, but also a hideous Sky Fortress. If a full-scale war really starts, this airship alone will be able to cause unimaginable damage.
Just thinking about this, Leo suddenly realized that he was a little rude, so he stood up again, and bowed respectfully: "Good morning, Professor Laurinda." I want to ask, how did this Tianhuo float in the air?"
Lorinda glanced at Leo in some surprise, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Actually, this airship can be seen as a complete alchemy device, and inside it, it has a powerful driving core, which can continuously provide an anti-gravity field and can also transmit energy to the weapon system. β
Seeing that the other party seemed to have time to answer his questions, Leo continued to ask curiously, "Then how much does it cost?"
Lorinda smiled: "I don't know this." It has been in existence for hundreds of years, it is said that it was originally designed by dwarf engineers, and humans and dwarves jointly made zuΓ², and the process of making zuΓ² alone took ten years, as for the cost, I am afraid it can only be described as astronomical. β
After answering, she was obviously worried that Leo would get to the bottom of the matter and damage her image as a professor, so she added: "If you want to know more about it, there are corresponding materials in the college library." β
"Okay. Leo grinned helplessly as he watched Larinda run away.
It was said that it was ten minutes, but the students had already arrived here, and it was impossible to really leave the people who didn't have time to get on the boat.
It waited nearly a quarter of an hour for Gregor to begin counting the number of people.
At this time, another group of people boarded the Skyfire, and Leo looked at the suspension ladder, only to realize that it was the sun elves who had only arrived yesterday.
Sanders obviously didn't like them very much, and said in a weird way: "Not only is I late, but I also bring bodyguards with me when I go to school, what a cow." β
Such a statement immediately attracted a lot of hostile eyes, most of whom were girls.
Sanders blinked inexplicably and asked Leo, "What's going on?"
"I don't know. Leo shrugged his shoulders.
Seeing the sun elves on the boat, Lolinda secretly sighed and announced: "Everyone line up to enter the cabin, don't crowd, don't make noise, look for your own room, now that you are students of the academy, give me some organizational discipline, I don't want to send a punishment notice without knowing who you are!"
............
On Cambridge, Laurinda said to a bearded man beside her, "Captain, you're all settled, let's set sail." β
"Yes, ma'am, this is a two-day trip, and I wish you a pleasant trip. The bearded man clapped his hands and said to his subordinates, "Little cubs, turn the bow of the boat, target Raventon!"
Facing the rising sun, the Skyfire slowly accelerated, heading towards the east.
At the same time, Leo, who was in the cabin, looked out through the window, and he knew that he was also heading in a new direction.
