Big Devil: Starting from refining flying zombies

This is a ship-shaped mechanical airship with a rather traditional appearance. The brown cowhide airbag above the airship and the propeller consisting of four small fan blades at the stern make it look like a cute pufferfish in the sky.

Although this type of airship has a slow and moderate flying speed, it is not suitable for short-distance travel or warfare.

But it is more stable and comfortable, and it also has an open-air deck platform that other similar airships do not have, allowing the wizards riding it to enjoy the sightseeing along the way and relieve fatigue during the journey.

At this moment, Neltharion was standing alone on the deck with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering. He looked at the airship captain with a calm expression. He used his experienced skills to control the mechanical airship, slowly driving out of the somewhat scary thundercloud storm area.

It was not until the clouds and fog suddenly cleared up in front of him, and the sky was bright, revealing the winding green mountains and the fertile and abundant golden wheat fields that looked like squares on the plains at the foot of the mountains, that Neltharion's mouth unconsciously began to smile.

"Eton Kingdom... It's been a long time since I last saw this scenery. I'm actually feeling a little nostalgic for it without even realizing it."

At this moment, Neltharion took a deep breath of the air that was blown up from the ground by the strong wind, mixed with a faint smell of wheat, as if he wanted to greedily retain all the beautiful scenery before him.

But he knew in his heart that such a peaceful and harmonious life was not his lifelong pursuit. At most, it was just a small footnote worth savoring in the epic chapter of the pursuit of eternity and truth.

Not long after, the mechanical airship passed through mountains and rivers and went deep into the heart of the Eaton Kingdom, where a prosperous and bustling royal palace could be vaguely seen.

One could see many civilians had gathered in the capital below. They opened their windows, leaned out, and excitedly cheered and waved at the airship in the sky. Children were chasing the shadow of the airship along the wide street, whistling. It was a jubilant scene.

The airship captain wearing a wide-brimmed hat adjusted his hat and bow tie, revealing the shining gold teeth inlaid on his front teeth. He said to Neltharion with some regret:
"Your Excellency Lord Neltharion, we have arrived at your kingdom. The scenery here is very beautiful and your subjects seem to welcome you very much. It's a pity that as mortals, they can never imagine how impressive your achievements are in the wizarding world."

Neltharion shook his head slightly and said, "Captain Goldfang, on the road to pursuing truth, honor is just an external thing. The subjects of Eaton only need to know that I am a prince who can protect the country. This is enough."

“In fact, those truly eternal and great things do not need anyone else to deliberately promote them, or to compete to praise their greatness, because they just stand there quietly and will never fall.”

Captain Gold Fang was startled when he heard this. He was also a second-level wizard with good strength, but he had been through a lot and had long since given up his pursuit of the wizarding path and switched to a private airship business.

This time, Neltharion returned to his country in a very low-key manner. He did not go through the academy's route. Instead, he contacted Captain Gold Fang, who had good reputation, through reliable channels and chartered his airship alone.

Captain Goldfang was originally very happy to take this opportunity to make a lot of magic stones, after all, Neltharion was generous.

But when he was curious about meeting celebrities and asked Neltharion to teach him the witchcraft model theory several times, he was immediately impressed by the latter's profound and powerful wisdom.

Captain Gold Tooth even noticed that the bottleneck of his mental strength that had been stagnant for many years was loosened a little. Only then did he finally understand what the biggest gain of this trip was.

The few contacts and exchanges with Neltharion in two weeks actually surpassed his hundreds of years of solitary exploration on the path of wizards. "Greetings to you, Lord Neltharion. I have a feeling that one day you will become one of those eternal and great beings. It is an honor to travel with you on such a wonderful journey."

"You don't have to pay me any extra money for your travel expenses later. I have already gained valuable knowledge from your guidance."

Captain Gold Fang took off his captain's hat with a serious face, covered his chest with it, and bowed to Neltharion to salute him. The latter accepted it calmly and did not refuse this kindness.

After all, the other party was indeed inadvertently radiated by the power of the evolution core, and it is estimated that it won’t take long for him to break through to the third-level wizard.

Outsiders simply cannot ask for such benefits and opportunities.

After a while, Neltharion got off the airship and watched Captain Gold Fang turn the ship around and start to return. Then he smiled warmly and walked towards the welcoming team coming towards him from the palace avenue.

The one walking at the front of the welcoming team was naturally Sylphy. She looked Neltharion up and down with joy and care, then said:

"Leo, didn't you just write to me a few days ago saying that you were in charge of some important research? How come you came back so suddenly that I didn't even have time to ask the ministers to plan a welcoming ceremony for you?"

Neltharion laughed and said, "Mother, the palace is decorated with lights and colors today, and it is very lively. If I come back later, I am afraid you will order the people of the entire kingdom to line the streets to welcome me!

Sylphy raised the gorgeous jeweled gold scepter in her hand and said as a matter of course:
"There's nothing wrong with that, Leo. You don't know that ever since your reputation spread in the wizarding world, even though the Kingdom of Eaton has never thought of starting a war, the surrounding kingdoms have all been trying to show goodwill to the Kingdom of Eaton, either overtly or covertly."

"These big kingdoms either export scarce resources to us at low prices, or purchase our goods at high prices. Some even directly divide the land of some neighboring cities to the Kingdom of Eaton."

"The people of the Kingdom of Eaton have now lived a richer and better life. No matter how much they thank you, it is not too much. What do you think of gathering all the beauties in the country to hold a lively ceremony to select a concubine for you?"

"Well, no matter how beautiful they are, they probably don't have the qualifications of a wizard. They are just mortals, and are not worthy of my Leo. They are not suitable to be my concubines. They should just be maids. It's better to keep them around to please the eyes..."

Neltharion listened to Sylphy's words with a smile, and then said:
"Okay, mother, I came back this time because I have something very important to discuss with you, so let's discuss the celebrations later when we have time."

Hearing this, Sylphy looked at Neltharion thoughtfully.

After seeing the serious look in the latter's eyes, she immediately had a premonition. She stopped worrying about anything and instead canceled all the activities that had been planned and returned to the palace with Neltharion. (End of this chapter)
