Chapter 20: Riding the Wind

The independent regiment of the First Division of the Cangyue Empire, which will become famous on the mainland in the future, is now assiduously training on the training ground to kill the enemy, and these people's soldiers have carried forward the spirit of enduring hardships and standing hard work without shedding blood, sweat and tears, and without shedding skin and flesh......

"Stop! You show me what time it is, the news broadcast has already passed, you can keep a good account for me!"

Yu Huang grabbed Wang Ming's neck and shook it, and the poor mage was flicked by the pinched tongue.

"But it's really boring, the money is so small, the budget is not enough to spend, all the projects have to be calculated repeatedly, and now there are only ten numbers left in my head to go back and forth. If I don't have some fun with myself, I'm going crazy!"

Yueying walked in from outside the door with a teacup and took a sip of black tea: "If you're bored, then take Toria to the city for a walk and buy something by the way." No, it's to go to the city to buy something and go shopping. ”

Because of the eldest sister's words, Wang Ming was kicked out of the wooden house directly.

"Big, big sister, can't you wait until dawn to go?"

"Time is precious, go early and return early, remember to bring breakfast back~"

As he spoke, the door slammed shut.

Tolia had already changed into her civilian clothes and was standing outside the door.

Dressed in a simple dark blue dress, Edelweiss was carried on her back with a belt, and Lilith appeared as a very innocent little Lori because the sun went down, holding Toria's hand.

Wang Ming stared at the little girl with silver hair and blood eyes for a long time, and then he was sure that this Lori, who looked like a blood clan, was Toria's sister.

"It's really a female college eighteen changes, it's only been a few days, and Xiaosi has become a lot more beautiful. ”

Lilith looked up. stared at Wang Ming with pure eyes. The eyes were as clear as the starry sky on a summer night. It seems to be able to wash away the filth in people's hearts.

Wang Ming's inner monologue: "Ah, what pure eyes, how evil I am compared to her!Oh, my angel, my holy angel, I am guilty, please listen to my sins, I ......"

Star ripples emerge from the smoke. slammed the crystal ball on Wang Ming's head, and the crack on the surface of the crystal ball spread a little, but Wang Ming was also awakened.

Lilith...... You'd better explain what's going on!"

Wang Ming rubbed the back of his head and stared viciously at Lori, who caused the accident.

"It's just to test your mind magic, didn't Cang Yang say, we have to use mind magic to control the army." ”

β€œ...... Can you take me for a real thing! I almost drew my sword and killed myself just now!"

"That can only mean that you are really guilty, look at it, bite me!"

Wang Ming clenched his fists and inhaled deeply: "She's just a child...... Don't be angry, she's just a child!"

Starripple beckoned. The golden half-moon in the sky became larger and larger, and finally covered most of the sky.

"Wait. It's the beginning of September, how can there be a moon of this shape?"

Wang Ming took a closer look and found that it was not a moon at all, but a huge crescent-shaped flying machine.

"Yinyue, the magic guide floating ship that the eldest sister ordered from Longkong Mountain, but because the eldest sister didn't have enough money, she made a shell and stopped production, and the power core was made overnight by Cangyang these days, and the other systems didn't have time to install at all. Your mission tonight is to test the flight performance of this thing. ”

As he spoke, Xing Lian took out a manual that was so thick that it smashed to the ground and handed it to Wang Ming.

Wang Ming took the book embarrassedly: "What, aren't you going with us?"

Xing Lian moved quietly to the back of the door: "Why do you want to go together?" Cangyang said, the power core is a temporary patchwork, and it may not be able to fly, and even if it can fly, it may not be able to land, as a psychic magician, I am not very good at dealing with air crashes. So I'll leave this dangerous work to you!"

Wang Ming looked at Xinglian with an apologetic smile on his face and slowly closed the door.

"What do you think, Toria?"

Wang Ming turned his head and asked the girl who was in a daze.

"This and this...... Mia, this door is a normal door-shaft door, right?"

Toria asked inexplicably.

"yes, we're not going to build a sliding door either...... Do you have any questions?"

"Well, why did Sister Xinglian 'slide the door shut'?"

The ability to observe is very outstanding, but the way of thinking is really different from that of ordinary people.

Wang Ming shook his head helplessly, it is impossible to correct a natural stupid thinking, since in Toria's opinion, the working principle of the door is more important than the safety of his own life, then the natural stupid disease has invaded the internal organs, spread to all parts of the body, and even the DNA strand has been rewritten.

"Let's go, pray it won't crash. ”

At an altitude of 3,000 meters, strong winds swept through the surroundings with clouds, taking away precious heat.

Wang Ming cast three endurance elemental damage in time, and the warm orange energy flame wrapped around the three of them, resisting the invasion of the cold wind.

As Xinglian said, this thing is not equipped with anything except the power core, not only does it not have a cockpit, but it also does not have a driving system. The driver must directly disassemble the upper baffle of the cabin where the power core is located, and press the handle on it to control it directly from the hardware level.

Even if you don't forget it, the few flaps installed in the rear can't be operated by wires, and you have to use two wires to pull them remotely.

"That is, this thing is on the same level as the Wright brothers' creation. ”

Wang Ming concluded.

Because it is extremely difficult to control, there is no test flight performance at all, and even to maintain level flight, Wang Ming spent his whole body trying to talk about any maneuvers.

"The key is how to land!"

The crescent-shaped flying machine with a wingspan of forty meters and a length of twenty-two meters, if there is only one purely hand-operated power core, it will need at least 1,300 meters long runway to stop, but there is no such long runway near Rainbow City.

Wang Ming looked at the fuel gauge that was gradually returning to zero, and then looked at the distant land below, even as an atheist. He couldn't help but draw a cross.

"Heavenly Father. I'm guilty. I deserve death......"

Lilith quietly climbed onto Wang Ming's back and put her cold hand into Wang Ming's shirt to keep warm, the cold touch gave the driver goosebumps.

"Mia, you've kidnapped too many lori, and you're definitely going to hell when you die. ”

Wang Ming took out Lilith's paw with his left hand: "Loli control, cut, I'm the royal sister, is it okay to control the washboard?" ”

"You!"

Lilith stomped her foot angrily and was about to scold, but was pulled back by Tolia.

"Mia. Sister Cangyang has something to look for you. ”

Without waiting for Wang Ming to react, a huge light screen unfolded in front of Wang Ming, and Cangyang's expressionless face occupied most of the field of vision.

"I have good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

Wang Ming's heart was immediately filled with a sense of foreboding, and he originally planned to hear the bad news first, but that premonition made him make a decision.

"I decided to hear the good news first. ”

"The good news is that it is impossible for your floating ship to land near Rainbow City, and it will definitely fail to land and crash. ”

Cangyang seemed to be talking about news that was far away from Wang Ming.

"So, what's the bad news?"

I won't be stupid enough to question Cangyang's judgment criteria for good news and bad news!

"The bad news is that you won't even be able to fly to Rainbow City before you crash. Because the cooling system of the power core is not installed, it should be about to explode by now. ”

Wang Ming turned his head. He glanced at Lilith, who was full of horror, and exchanged horror in his eyes.

"Boom!"

"Ahh

β€œbiu~~~~~~~~~”

After three sounds, the night sky fell silent.

――――――――――――

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it means I'm alive! I'm still alive!

Wang Ming stood up from the wreckage of the aircraft, looked around, and found a city in the distance.

It's not Rainbow City, Rainbow City is suspended in the air at a height of several hundred meters all year round, and it is a city that obediently stays on the ground.

Tolia was sitting on a cocked plank, looking out at the huge brightly lit city in the distance.

"Mia, are you awake, are you hurt?"

"Probably not, at least it doesn't hurt. ”

Toria looked at Wang Ming with a very strange look: "But when you just fell, the entire floating ship smashed on you, is it really okay?"

The corners of Wang Ming's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly performed a series of healing techniques on himself, and the cold medical energy quickly traveled in his body, repairing the small abrasions on the surface of his body.

"Looks alright, Tolia, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, except that Lilith was swept away by the energy and is now back in my hands. ”

As she spoke, Tolia's right hand squeezed the air fiercely, making Lilith's voice: "You scumbag, even if you die, I won't die!"

"How did I mess with you again......"

"If you hadn't caused trouble, would we have been dragged into this ship by you?"

"Uh, it won't ......"

Toria hurriedly broke her right hand and interrupted Lilith's words: "Well, Mia, let's hurry into the city, maybe the explosion will attract a lot of people." ”

Wang Ming nodded, took out a scroll marked with the word danger from his waist, tore open the seal, and threw it on the wreckage, with a burst of spatial distortion, the spherical space centered on the scroll was all compressed into a small black bead.

Then, he led Toria to the unknown city.

"Mia, you're walking too fast!ahhhh......h

When Tolia stood up, she fell to her knees with a hideous crack in her thigh.

"Why don't you treat yourself, Tolia, are you really stupid?"

"Because, because I only care about you, what's wrong? The knight should take care of the mage. ”

"Uncle is not down enough to ask a girl to protect Cheng DΓΉ. Give me your hand!"

Pass a healing course for serious injuries and heal wounds in the legs.

The boy took the girl's hand and walked towards the unknown where light and shadow intertwined. When Cangyang came out of the void, it was already morning.

She stretched and relaxed her body, which was sore from a long night's work. Although reason told her that it was better to lie down for a while now, seventy-two hours had passed since the beginning of alchemy, and she had only slept for less than three hours in between.

"Hold on for another day, and when the reagent crystallizes, I can rest. Let's use medicine for the time being...... Speaking of which, the drugs are almost used. Looks like there was one left when I injected it yesterday, right?"

Remove the black crusty pill box from the shelf. Unscrewed the lock, and the twelve alchemy potions that had been placed in the box had all been consumed, leaving only the pungent smell of the potions wafting out in bursts, bombarding a string of complex olfactory signals on the mucous membrane of Cangyang's nose.

"I remember wrong, I used another one in the middle of the night. Now that the medicine has run out, it has to be replaced by another method. ”

Her high-speed mind was a little stagnant due to fatigue, but the results of the problem were quickly pushed before her eyes.

Without hesitation, he snapped his fingers, and the frost condensed obediently in the palm of his hand. The transparent ice blades reflected a rainbow of light in the dim light.

Cangyang lifted his alchemy robe, revealing his white thighs, and then the ice blade swept across his thighs, leaving a striking red.

The nerve endings in the legs are actually very sparse because our legs are more susceptible to injury than other parts, so the senses in that part are more dull. So the nerve impulse caused by the ice blade did not make Cangyang regain consciousness, of course, this was also in her calculations.

Without the slightest hesitation, the girl took out a white clay jar from the drawer and twisted a handful out of it. Sprinkled on the wound, the muscles near the wound twitched involuntarily under the severe pain.

Mobilize the incantations swirling in your mind. Traces of positive energy poured into the wound on the thigh, and the hideous wound healed quickly.

"It can be held for about thirty minutes, then the right leg is rowed, alternating the legs eighteen times, and then transferred to the arm ......"

With a plan to refresh his mind, his eyelids involuntarily began to close.

Cheering up, Cangyang poured himself a glass of boiling water and continued to pour wisps of magic into the huge magic array in the center of the room.

Just as the mass of liquid in the center of the formation slowly rose to a critical point, the door was pushed open.

"Xiao Cangyang~ I have good news and bad news here, which one do you want to hear first?"

Although she could recognize the voice as Tsukizakura's, she was unable to recognize the meaning of the sentence due to extreme exhaustion, and as early as two days ago, her language skills had been temporarily turned off to reduce the load on her mind because she was useless to the truth.

So Cangyang just used the dance light technique to draw a big question mark on the top of his head.

"Eh, why is your face so pale, and the dark circles under your eyes are so heavy, you must not have slept last night, right? Pay attention to rest, although the main income of the knights does depend on your alchemy room, but it is not worth it to collapse the body. ”

Cangyang shook her head, trying to extract the audio signal from the cacophony of the eardrum, but no matter how much she concentrated, she couldn't distinguish the voice that was far away from the sky.

After staring at Cangyang's godless eyes for a while, Yueying reached over and put her cold hand on her head, directing Yueyao's mana directly through her thought line.

The chaotic brain quickly regained its senses.

"Uh, what did you say?"

Cangyang looked at the leader with some confusion.

"I have good news for you, Mia's test flight of the Silver Moon was successful. ”

"And what about the bad news?"

"The bad news is that the landing failed. ”

β€œ......”

Cangyang shrugged: "Oh, that's expected. ”

Tsukizakura narrowed her eyes and looked at the mechanic of the Silver Moon: "It can't be your hands and feet, right, there were no problems at all when we tested the flight yesterday?"

Cangyang opened the door of the refrigerator, and the white cold air emitted by the ice demon core poured out of the open alloy door, and took out a baguette placed in the refrigerator, and the fingertips of his thumb and middle finger were still hooked with each other, and he picked up a bottle of milk on the side.

Pretending not to care, he chewed a bite of bread, and Cangyang nodded.

A slight smile hung on the corner of Yueying's mouth: "You really didn't do anything? I saw someone who was busy modifying the aircraft for a long time the day before yesterday." ”

Lifting the milk and rushing the mouth full of bread into his stomach, Cangyang drank most of the remaining milk in one go.

"Well, Scarlet Moon made me do this. ”

Yueying's voice immediately became very weird: "Is it the so-called actual combat drill again?"

Stuffing the bread into his mouth, he took a big bite, and his voice squeezed out of his mouth indistinctly: "Because Scarlet Moon said that Mia's sense of crisis is not enough, we don't have much time left." ”

"That's true, but Mia is my subordinate after all, so she borrowed it without my consent and didn't take me seriously?"

"Yes, yes...... Well, the bread tastes weird. ”

Cangyang held the half of the bread in front of him, and then the two of them looked at the blue mold on the bread crust in a daze.

――――――――――――

The diet of the Knights of the Blue Moon has not been very good, and as a mercenary group that is too poor to be, they have no logistics at all.

Today's breakfast is roasted bamboo rats, plus wild vegetable soup, last night it was a group of geese shot down by Yueying with hundreds of arrows, and yesterday at noon it was a few wild boars encountered while logging trees......

In other words, by the time the ecosystem of this forest is destroyed by the Cangyue demolition team, they will have to evolve the ability to photosynthesize.

However, although the ingredients were solved by destroying the environment, no one knew how to cook, at first, Yu Huang took a spoon and boiled a pot, but the unknown variety of mushrooms mixed into the cauldron almost removed the Knights of the Blue Moon.

Later, Xinglian made a dish of ice chips for everyone to dip in water using pure water as raw materials, which made everyone's faces green for a whole day.

Finally, Cangyang brought out a pot of black liquid, and the bubbling liquid level rose gray smoke, and the pot continued to make a sound similar to steel being corroded by acid as the soup stirred.

"Eat quickly, everyone, this pot will melt through in ten minutes at most. ”

When there was really no way, Tsukizakura stood up.

As the leader of the Moon Knights, as an excellent elven girl in the new century, and as the heroine of this book, she has the obligation and responsibility to solve the problem of eating for the masses.

In the eyes of anticipation, Yueying took out a brown paper bag from her waist bag, and carefully revealed pieces of turquoise biscuits in the paper bag in the eyes of everyone's hungry green.

"It looks delicious!"

"Eldest sister, why didn't you take out such a good thing earlier?"

"Don't rob me, just one for each person!"

The vellum paper bag floated softly, ground side up, revealing the words "Elf Cookies" written in Elven language.

In this battle, the Knights of the Blue Moon fell.
