Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 413 Leave
"Are you going to Blue Flame Bay?" Xia Duo hesitated, "If it is there, our airport has not yet been laid. After all, Blue Flame Bay has too many islands with cliffs and too little flat land, which is not conducive to the flight of planes. Landing."

Ahao waved his hand: "So, I will experience your plane next time. Blue Flame Bay is not very far from Agadi. The airship flew over slowly, and it took more than a day to arrive."

"Although it's incomparable with taking the Austrian Stargate, it's not bad to come to this kind of itinerary once in a while."

Xia Duo's face sank in the shadows, and after a while he said, "Then before you leave, let me give you a gift."

"what gift?"

Xia Duo took out a beautiful small box, and after taking it out, he didn't rush to hand it to Ahao, but said: "Before I tell you, I hope you can promise me first, and help the organization before you leave." Let a few of you get enlightened."

"can."

Ah Hao readily agreed.Xia Duo has helped him a lot during this time, and the information he shared with himself is invaluable.Helping with enlightenment or something was originally agreed upon.

Only then did Xia Duo take out the small box hidden in his bosom.

When the lid of the box was opened, Ah Hao couldn't help showing a stunned expression.

"This is, an egg?"

. . . . . .
Ah Hao quickly helped two Star Alliance members complete their enlightenment.A scythe appeared in the door of one of them, and a shield appeared in the door of the other. They didn't seem to be any special items, and Ah Hao was not in the mood to pay too much attention.

When he returned home, he couldn't wait to take out the [gift] Xia Duo gave him.

Ah Hao opened the extremely ordinary black carton, pulled off the thin white wrapping paper, and finally revealed the object that was not ordinary at all.

It was a stone egg slightly larger than an adult's head.The hard shell is covered with a thick layer of stony objects.

These stone shells are like some kind of scales, covering the egg layer by layer, making it look like a handicraft.

Xia Duo's previous words echoed in Ah Hao's ears: "This is a dead egg, but it is very likely that it was originally a dragon egg."

"Dragon? Does this legendary species really exist?"

"Well. Although extremely rare, dragons still soar in this sky. Their existence will pose a huge threat to man-made aircraft such as airships.

"This is another reason why the Agadi stargate is so popular. Who wouldn't love a relatively safer and more efficient way of travel? Even though the stargate was stained with blood, it was once practical. promote the progress of this society."

Ah Hao caressed the dragon's egg, thoughts flashing through his mind.

Why did Xia Duo give him this egg at this time?Did he want to study ways to avoid dragons, or did he want to learn more about dragons?
It's a pity that Xia Duo didn't say anything.

But a dragon egg is a dragon egg, even if it is dead, it is still a dead dragon egg with great research value.This gift from Xia Duo is really not light.

Knock open the shell, what will be inside?Will it have a distinct white and yolk like an egg, or will it already have the rudimentary form of a baby dragon in it?
Ahao put aside the idea of ​​destructive research for the time being, put the dragon egg back into the package, and planned to study it again in a few days.He turned and called the maid.

"Bev, Bell! Come and help me pack!"

"Come here!" Bev's bluffing voice came from downstairs.But Bell calmly and quickly walked into the bedroom with a basket of clothes.

"Master Ah Hao, all the laundry you asked for is here. May I ask, are you leaving Agadi?"

"Yeah." Ah Hao nodded, "Let's go tomorrow."

"Understood." Bell nodded, helping to fold the clothes one by one, and put them in Ah Hao's suitcase like a bottomless pit.

Bev walked in, with a slightly uneasy expression on her face: "You will come back, Master Ahao?"

Ahao is a pretty good employer for her.The money is generous, the salary is high, and she will not make unreasonable and difficult demands, and more importantly, she will not touch her.

"Yes, of course. I expect to come back in a month or two. During my absence, you don't need to worry about the salary, and it will be paid to you as usual. You come to clean and clean the house every now and then to keep the house tidy That's it. Go to Hodge or Wind if you have any questions."

"Okay." With Ahao's assurance, Bev felt happy again.While humming a ditty, he was busy helping with packing.

. . . . . .
The next day, the outer suburbs of Agadi.

In the bright morning sunlight, Ahao raised his hand high: "This way!"

Ilya hurried over with a small suitcase.Ilya is wearing a rather lightweight dress today, with a little lace under the comfortable leather clothing.These decorative materials are very cautious, and it can be seen that the creators tried their best to find a balance between beauty and practicality.

After she walked to Ahao's side, she breathed a sigh of relief, looked around and said, "I didn't expect there are quite a lot of people here."

This was originally the repair and maintenance base for airships, located in a very remote place on the outskirts of Agadi.In the past, only the crew and maintenance personnel of the airship would come here.Ordinary passengers will only see the airship at the sky dock in the center of Agadi.

But today is different.

After Agadi announced the "restriction regulations", the place has gradually become prosperous.

A large number of airships stranded in Agadi reopened with a new look after some modifications suitable for long-distance flights.

Now these "ocean aviation airships" are committed to providing the same "extraordinary sailing experience" for passengers who are also stranded in Agadi.

Well, at least that's what the billboard next to the maintenance base says.

After receiving the leaflet, most of the passengers who came here because of the name also believed it.Otherwise, how could there be so many crowded and well-dressed people in this crude maintenance base?

Ah Hao couldn't help feeling a little emotional: "No matter how difficult the environment is, everyone will always find a way out, right?"

"That's for sure. Have you arranged the business of the shop these two days?"

"It's all taken care of by Wende, how about you?"

"I'm going to close the door right away, and the plants in the garden can just be watered by the school girl."

"Let's not talk, where is our airship? It's almost time for the ship to depart." Ilya set up a pergola and looked around.Her gaze was immediately attracted by an unusually pink airship.

Illya pointed at it excitedly and said, "Shall we take that airship?"

Ah Hao looked at the airship, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.The airship painted all the airbags above it pink.As the crew inflated the airbags, its pink livery was immediately revealed, drawing a lot of attention from those around it.

However, Ahao noticed that the airbag of this pink airship was slightly corroded by the paint, and the thickness was uneven.If, as in the past, it sails between the star gates in a short period of time, there will be no deviation.But once you leave the star gate and want to sail long distances, something may go wrong.

So Ah Hao shook his head resolutely: "We won't take that one. Turn your head and see the airship behind you? Get on board."

Illya turned around and only saw a simple and unpretentious airship. She couldn't help sighing: "Well, you have the final say."

After boarding the airship along the gangway, the two settled in the luxury cabin booked by Ah Hao.

"After all, this trip will take a whole day, so I bought two better tickets so that I can take a good rest."

After Ilya responded perfunctorily, she found a suitable table in the cabin, and couldn't wait to open the suitcase in her hand.

The unusually clever mongoose jumped out of the box, climbed up to Ilya's shoulder in twos or twos, stood upright, and looked at Ahao warily.

Illya touched the mongoose's head excitedly: "Hey, Kitty, watch him carefully, don't let him have any unreasonable thoughts."

When Ah Hao saw it, he was a little surprised: "Why did you bring it out?"

Ilya spread her hands: "No way, Dad is too busy recently and has no time to take care of it for me. I didn't want to leave it at home alone, so I just brought it out. Anyway, I bought a living thing and it can survive space props, it won’t get in the way too much.”

"By the way, Mr. Howard doesn't mind if you come out?"

"Actually, he agrees with me leaving Agadi very much." Ilya sat by the small table by the window, watching the bustling crowd outside the oval porthole, "Father, what will happen to Agadi, It’s somewhat speculative. Under such circumstances, when I said that I wanted to leave Agadi, he agreed with both hands and feet. But..."

"When he heard that I was going with you, his attitude changed 180 degrees." Ilya blinked at Ahao.

Ahao curled his lips: "I think my impression in Mr. Howard's heart should be pretty good, right?"

"Impressions are impressions. The problem is that you are a man. If you are a woman, then my dad is naturally fine."

Ah Hao was speechless.

In the casual chat, it was soon time for the airship to take off.The airbags of the airship were inflated, and the sails on both sides of the hull were slightly opened. The airship then followed the ancient route at a moderate speed, heading towards Blue Flame Bay to the west.

Yi Liya held "The Secret of Polyploidy" in her hand, and Ahao studied the [Ice Spike] magical amulet, and the quiet cabin seemed exceptionally harmonious.

But an hour later, Illya put down the book and rubbed her temples painfully.

"I can't do it anymore, I can't stand it anymore. Reading in the airship is really dizzy."

Ah Hao put down the stone amulet in his hand: "Why don't you go to the deck to get some fresh air, and take a look at the scenery by the way."

"Wait a minute." Ilya carefully lifted the mongoose from her shoulders, stuffed it into the suitcase on the table, and then said beamingly: "Go, go out and have a look!"

When the two walked onto the deck, they found that the original good weather had disappeared.

The airship seemed to be sailing through a thick fog, which obstructed all views.The damp and cold air and the wind that was blowing made it so that there was no one else on the deck except the crew.

Ah Hao held back a crew member with some doubts: "When did the weather become like this?"

The crew member in heavy clothes was carrying a large roll of rope: "It's like this after entering the Blue Flame Sea. You don't know, the sky above the Blue Flame Sea has been entangled in thick fog a month ago. Where do you go?" You can't get around it, you'd better go below the deck earlier, and be careful of the cold air entering your body."

"I see, let's blow the wind and go down."

The crew nodded and left on their own, without any intention of obstructing the two of them.

While no one was watching, Ilya took out a thicker coat with her backhand, put it on her body, and tilted her head at Ahao: "Go and see?"

"Hmm. I feel that there is always something wrong with this fog."

Ah Hao breathed hard and smelled the fog.

The damp air with a musty smell rushed into the nostrils in an instant.Ah Hao touched his nose with some discomfort: "This mist is not right, it smells musty."

"Is the wood moldy?" Ilya said indifferently.

Ah Hao leaned over and touched the lower deck, and confirmed: "No, the deck is still very clean, it looks like it has just been scrubbed. The musty smell is in the air."

"That's weird."

Ilya walked to the railing of the deck, picked up some mist and came back, sniffed it carefully: "Well, I can't smell it at all."

She looked at the gray outside the deck, and sighed: "I still said to see the scenery, but now I can't see anything."

"I hope Blue Flame Bay won't be full of this kind of fog. I haven't been to Blue Flame Bay yet."

"Blue Flame Bay is quite interesting, the buildings there are very distinctive, but the smell is not very pleasant, the smell of fish is too strong."

Yi Liya suddenly turned around and said, "Hey, do you know why Blue Flame Bay is called Blue Flame Bay?"

Before Ah Hao could answer, she asked herself and said, "I heard that it was because of a strange fire that happened there once. The blue flame burned for three days and three nights in the whole bay, and it was finally recovered. The one named Blue Flame Bay..."

Illya spoke excitedly with her back to the railing.But she didn't notice that a large shadow appeared behind her.

Ah Hao saw this clearly, he hastily stretched out his hand, and pulled Yi Liya: "Be careful!"

Unprepared, Yi Liya staggered and threw herself directly into Ah Hao's arms.

She turned abruptly and saw a rather horrific scene.

A strange snake with blue-purple fin-like wings on its back was biting the railing she was leaning on just now.The blow missed, and the strange snake wrapped its tail around the railing and gnawed at her fiercely again.

Before she could react, she heard Ahao's angry voice: "Ice thorns!"

The humid fog environment is simply a carnival where water turns into ether.Without thinking, Ah Hao took out the magical amulet that he was still researching just now, and the water turned into ice.

As his words fell, layers of ice crystals quickly condensed in the dense mist.

The snake's jaw opened fiercely, and a pair of curved fangs curled out of its flesh-colored mouth.But the three prismatic sharp ice thorns pierced the strange snake's mouth at a faster speed than the poisonous fangs.

Everything happened in a flash.

Illya blinked her eyes, and saw the monster snake's wide open mouth being pierced fiercely.The long ice spike pierced its entire head, and it fell to the ground powerlessly, rolling over in pain.

Its oral muscles squirmed unconsciously, but no matter what, it couldn't squeeze the ice spikes out of its body.

"what is this?"

"It's trouble, a lot of trouble."

Ah Hao calmly hugged Ilya and took two steps back.He supported Ilya's back and exerted a sudden force to make her stand up straight.

Only now did Illya realize that the strange snake was just an appetizer.

Behind it, more monster snakes are spreading the flipper wings on both sides of their bodies, flying towards the airship they are on by the wind.
