Off the coast of Alabastan.

Elegia ship, deck.

Klockdahl took out his phone bug, which Cobra had given him earlier, and could connect directly to the palace of Alabastan.

But when he picked up the microphone and tried to contact Kobra, all he could hear was a cacophony of voices.

"Whew...... Nourishing ——!!! ”

Klockdahl frowned slightly and muttered, "Alabastan's communication signal has been affected? Who did this to you? ”

“……”

Click!

As he pondered, a figure vibrated its wings and landed firmly in front of Klockdahl.

It was Evan Lindsay.

Klockdahl also had to admit that "flying" was indeed a very convenient ability.

His rustling fruit can be short-lived, but after all, he still lacks a little flexibility, and it is impossible to cross such a high "high wall".

"So ......"

Klockdahl stepped forward, about to ask for information, but saw Lindsay staring at his palm, thoughtful.

"Huh?"

Klockdahl looked over and saw an "exhausted" phone bug in Lindsay's hand.

It bared its tongue and looked like it was sweating profusely, and the microphone on its back had exploded, blackening its shell.

This is unusual.

The so-called "telephone bug" is a kind of creature that exists in nature.

It was captured, microphones and buttons were installed, and its special sound waves were used for long-distance communication.

One of the reasons why this means of communication is so widely used is its high level of stability.

Except for extreme environments where poison gas, fire, and seabed cannot be lived, it is almost impossible for the signal of the telephone bug to be abnormal.

But now, even though he is close to Alabastan, his phone bug can't reach Kobra.

And what about Aven Lindsay's side? The microphone of the phone bug simply exploded!

“……”

"Is it a 'height' issue?"

After some thought, Klockdahl decided to do an experiment.

He elementalized his palm while keeping the phone bug dialed, and then lifted it high into the sky.

At a height of more than twenty meters above the ground, Klockdahl clearly felt a tremor in his palm.

When he retracted the grit, the microphone of the phone bug in his hand had exploded.

The little phone bug seems to have been stimulated by some kind of violent stimulation, and appears restless, unable to communicate normally at all.

"Tsk!"

Klockdahl frowned, then watched as Lindsay took the phone bug.

The latter fiddled with it, removed the microphones from the two broken phone bugs, and handed them to Uta on the side.

Uta took the two frightened phone bugs and gently soothed them.

The microphones on the phone bug are all artificially installed, so even if they are damaged, the phone bug will not feel pain.

So theoretically, as long as a new microphone is installed, the two phone bugs can be used normally.

But the crux of the matter is "what" that destroyed the original microphone?

“……”

"That's not right."

Crocodall smoked a cigar and motioned for Lindsay to look at the wall not far away.

Alabastan is an extremely important part of his plan, and no one else can get involved.

As a result, Klockdahl muttered, "We need to land as soon as possible and see what is going on inside Alabastan." ”

"Hah, then open a road!"

Lindsay grinned, twisting the joint of her right arm, eager to try.

The efficiency of using the flight to send people back and forth is too slow, he wants to directly break through the high wall and forcibly open up a way to solve the problem as soon as possible!

But after a few strokes, Lindsay found another problem.

The walls are so thick that they cut off all sound and traces, and the condition inside is unknown.

Although the power of the Dikui can penetrate it with a single blow, it is also possible to encounter an unknown ambush.

There were also ordinary people from Eleguia on their ship, and if they did fight, it would only tie Lindsay's hands on the sea.

“……”

Think about it.

Swish!

Lindsay spread her wings behind her, slowly stretched out, and said to the people around her:

"You guys wait here, I'll take a look at the other side of the wall."

After that, Lindsay was just about to take off, but Klockdahl suddenly said, "Take me with you." ”

He didn't want to help, but he thought he had to get first-hand information in order to seek absolute initiative!

Lindsay didn't care about that either.

"Also—"

Klockdahl added: "Don't grab my back collar

Before he could finish speaking, Lindsay's hand was already on the back collar of Crocodall.

Ode!

The two figures scurried into the air at the same time, heading straight for the top of the high wall.

Klockdahl: "......"

He heard the sound of the collar collaring collaring cracking.

Suddenly, the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, and he was about to get angry, but he saw several huge black shadows from far and near.

"Gah! Ga! Ga! ”

The shrill birdsong in your ears.

The two of them looked intently and spotted several strange birds of huge size, galloping towards them.

"What's that?!"

Klockdahl's brow furrowed.

He has been in Alabastan for so long and has never seen such an animal!

But one more important point -

Klockdahl raised his head and yelled at Aven Lindsay, "I'll solve it, don't use your abilities!" ”

“……”

Obviously, Klockdahl said this too late.

Because the moment before he spoke, Lindsay had already sensed the hostility of those strange birds and made a counteraction.

He threw Klockdahl upwards with all his might, and then took advantage of the gap in his air to change his stance further.

Emerald green scales emerged from his spine, aiming in the direction of the strange birds, opening their mouths.

Growl!

"Roar!"

The storm erupted, knocking down five or six strange birds, but two of them were lucky enough to miss, trying to continue the attack on the two.

This is unusual.

It is the instinct of living beings to seek advantage and avoid harm, and even if those two strange birds are carnivorous predators, there is no reason to be so desperate.

"I'd like to see who's doing it!"

Lockdahl was furious, and immediately turned into a sandstorm and swooped down on the two strange birds.

The left and right elbows turned into two gravel scimitars, staggering past the two strange birds.

Swish!

In just an instant, the two strange birds were drained of water from their bodies, turned into two huge dried corpses, and fell to the surface of the sea.

Klockdahl turned around again and reached out his arm.

Lindsay also reached out and grabbed the back collar of Klockdahl, and continued to lead the other party all the way up.

Klockdahl: "......"

He wanted to get angry, but the two of them had already leaped over the wall.

Curiosity dispelled the anger in my heart a little.

Klockdahl looked up and saw what was behind the wall.

Immediately, great confusion completely replaced anger, and it haunted Klockdahl's mind.

Both he and Aven Lindsey were puzzled by the scene in front of them.

I saw—

Behind the high walls, the iconic desert of Alabastan remains.

But at the same time, above the desert, there are also large and small pirate ships stranded.

The flags on the ships were varied, and some of the ships were in a dilapidated state, as if they had been in a fierce battle.

Unknown beasts swarmed, roaring from time to time.

The strange birds hovered in mid-air.

It was a sunny day, but heavy clouds could be seen everywhere.

And in the farther sky, in the layers of clouds, more large and small black shadows floated, their outlines like one small island after another.

……

a pirate ship stranded in the desert;

Unknown ferocious animals;

clouds under the bright sun;

Illusory floating islands;

All of this is mixed with Alabastan.

"Here—"

Klockdahl opened his mouth, not knowing for a moment how to describe the scene.

Lindsay raised an eyebrow and added:

"Isn't it a little more fantastical?"
