Chapter 13: Set Sail
The next day, at the ceremony before the airship lifted off, the leaders of the entire Thorn Islands came.
Even many master craftsmen who are obsessed with experimentation have put down their experiments to attend in person.
The lectures given by the main king these days have suddenly advanced the understanding of electricity by the dwarfs of the entire Thorn Islands by at least a hundred years - this is still the speed of development of the materialistic world, and the magical idealistic world like Garia will take even longer.
For example, it has been hundreds of years since Gerria made fiery glue, and gunpowder is still in the initial stage of black powder, and it is only used by the poor, and the rich use alchemical explosives even if they open mines and blow up mountains.
During the ceremony, the king cut the red ribbon and ordered the crew to board the ship.
When the crew was ready to set sail, the Salvation Team boarded the ship under the watchful eyes of the entire island.
When he got to the ship, King found John Smith with him.
"Master, why are you on the boat too?"
John Smith: "You need a shipboarder. My brother drove the boat, and I repaired the ship. β
Because it will take about half a year for the second ship of the Leap Peak class to be commissioned, this trip across the world's mountains will be served by Torre Smith, the captain of the original Leap Peak and the elder brother of John Smith.
Torre Smith had previously commanded the Leap Summit in an attempt to fly over the World Mountains, and although he failed in the end, he was already the captain of the entire dwarf world who was most familiar with the conditions above the World Mountains.
Wang: "You just want to join in the fun and join the voyage over the mountains of the world, right?" β
John Smith smiled, "You're right. We gnomes don't miss an opportunity, but I'm not here to rub your ship, no one knows this ship I have remodeled better than I do, and neither does Master Fletcher.
"You need a chief engineer like me to make the leap."
Wang: "Then please." β
Flint snorted, "You want to ask for a dwarf?" There is only one thing that gnomes are good at, exploding and making bigger explosions. β
The dwarf bard Gaines laughed, "While it's true that we're pretty good at making explosions, and we're joking about it ourselves, it's a little bad for you, as an envoy of Kailin, to say that?" β
Wang: "Flint, a bunch of dwarf technicians on the ship, you'd better be a little more restrained." Be especially careful not to revert to your previous mantra. β
The dwarves' previous mantra was "Caris Newman's XX", which was to insult the patronus of the gnomes in the straight ball, and the gnomes, although they did not care about gods and religion, were not good at saying such things in front of them.
The dwarf shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm all scolding Kailin now." β
Wang: "I also told you not to overexpress your discrimination against gnomes as a dwarf. β
"Okay, okay." Flint shrugged.
At this time, the spacecraft finished unmooring and began to slowly rise into the air.
Elizabeth leaned on the railing on the side of the spaceship, overlooking the city that was gradually moving away, and sighed: "This time I came to the Thorn Islands, I felt like I was looking at the flowers. I don't have as much insight into the local area as I used to. β
Wang: "Actually, we've been here longer than any other place, after all, waiting for the ship to be transformed. β
Elizabeth: "yes. Maybe it's because it's bland? In the past, everywhere we went, we would be drawn into a conspiracy, and then faced with extremely dangerous situations, even wars.
"But this time ......"
Flint interjected, "The dwarfs' city wasn't destroyed this time!" β
Wang: "Also, the shipyard has been raised by the Drow Elves. β
"Oh yes."
Wang: "But it's true that nothing major happened to the Thorn Islands. β
Xiaobai: "Well, even the loot is missing. β
Is that a loot thing?
Gaines played a soothing melody and said, "Let me say that, in terms of the structure of the long narrative poem, no major events have happened in the Thorn Islands this time, probably for the World Salvation Conference to be held here later." Great events are bound to happen at the time of the Salvation Conference. β
Xiaobai: "The bard is still in charge of prophecy?" β
"I'm just saying, in terms of plot structure." Gaines spread his hands.
Xiaobai let out an "oh", then turned his head to see Franca.
The jellyfish was rolling its tentacles around the railing, looking like it was about to be blown away by the wind.
Franca: "Woooo......oo I wanted to say before, air travel is too torture for me! β
Xiaobai: "Huh? Do you have to hold on to the railing? We didn't deliberately hold on to anything, so we flew with the spaceship. β
Wang: "That's because we have friction on the soles of our feet, and you can understand that we are 'sucked' on the deck. Franka is different, it doesn't pull the ship......"
Xiaobai: "Will you be left behind immediately?" β
"No, not right away, because of inertia it will initially maintain the same speed as the ship, but because the speed of the Fulu jet propulsion is much lower than that of the ship, and the aerodynamic shape is not good, it will quickly slow down and be thrown off by the ship."
Franka: "Woooooooo β
Xiaobai: "Wouldn't it be better for you to hide in the cabin?" β
"No, it's going to be cake." Franca's color changed to sad blue, "I tried it before, and it ended up flattening on the bulkhead at the rear of the cabin. β
Xiaobai's eyes lit up: "Oh? What is that state? Sounds like a lot of fun. Give me a show, right? β
Wang: "No, it hurts, right?" β
Franca: "Yes, self-esteem hurts!" β
Wang: "Then it's okay, you give Xiaobai a performance." β
Xiaobai kicked the king's calf: "It's clear that you also want to see it, but the result is on my head!" β
Elizabeth: "I'd love to see it too." β
Xiaobai: "Look, Dabai admits that he wants to see it." Franca, you see, we all want to see it, put on a show. β
"Then go first."
As she spoke, Franka rolled her tentacles around the railing and "walked".
Wang: "It turns out that Furo doesn't need jet propulsion on the airship." β
"I want to squirt, but I'll be thrown off soon!"
Xiaobai stood on tiptoe and grabbed one of Franka's tentacles: "Come on, I'll lead you in." β
"Oh, thanks. Xiaobai, you are a good person. Franka breathed a sigh of reliefβliterally, the sad blue had also lightened, and it was clear that Xiaobai's concern had made her a little happier.
Xiaobai just led Fulu in front.
Elizabeth said: "It looks like a child flying a kite on an outing. β
Wang: "It's quite like that. β
The group entered the large conference room in the spaceship specially prepared for the Salvation Team to meet and discuss things, and then Xiaobai let go directly, and flew away with a bang, slapping on the wall.
Franca: "Woo woo, let me know before you let go!" β
Xiaobai looked at it with a strange expression: "Oh, oh, it's really flat." β
"I don't believe in werewolves anymore!"
"Well, don't cry, Marika, hurry up and give it a snack." Xiaobai turned his head to Drow and said.
Marika sighed, "I knew we should keep a captive of the Drow Elves, they must have countless evil thoughts every day to feed Furo." β
Wang: "It's okay, we're sure we'll be able to catch a lot of drow elves in the Forest Kingdom this time, and Franka will have time to feast." β
