Don't call me evil god

Chapter 132 Current Location: Eastern Border, Ceylon Territory

Hearing Brandon's question, Gail understood a little and explained:
"Because only the goblin airships can fly long distances in the wild without being attacked by flying monsters."

"Someone once tried to copy a similar airship. It was able to take off and sail without any problems, but it could only fly back and forth between a few nearby cities. Once it entered the wild, it would most likely be attacked by monsters."

"After calculating the cost, it would be more cost-effective to send a few more carriages."

Under the threat of the evil god's pollution, a large number of animals and plants in the wild were transformed into monsters by the chaotic aura, becoming crazy and aggressive.

Monsters naturally include those that can fly.

It was relatively safe near cities where civilized races gathered, as most monsters would normally only stay in their own territories. However, routes like airships that crossed cities and traversed several regions would inevitably fly over the wilderness.

The airship itself is actually very fragile, and it stays aloft thanks to the huge airbags on top;
Once the airbag is attacked and damaged, the aircraft may be forced to land at best or crash at worst.

"Huh? Why is this happening? The goblin's airship is the only one that won't be attacked by monsters?"

Gail shook his head: "I don't know."

"This is a trade secret of the Green Harbor goblins. Carron Lagan started his business by providing air transport services. No one knows how he did it."

"Okay." Brandon sighed regretfully, took out a notebook from his jacket pocket, and began to write and draw on the swaying airship:
"On the night of July 997, 7 New Huili, Sir Brandon Robert stepped forward at the critical moment and saved the goblin airship named Golden Tide Windbreaker without fear! He received the sincere gratitude of the captain and all the passengers!"

"Sir Brandon waved his hand generously to everyone, indicating that everything was within his expectations. As long as he was there, this airship would become a miracle that would never fall!"

"This is an insignificant experience in the adventure career of the legendary hero Brandon. I leave this record in words to commemorate it and pass it on to future generations!"

……

As the first golden rays of dawn lit up from the end of the dark forest, Miranda finished her daily practice of praying to the God of Light. Looking down at the ground from the airship, the scenery was very different from that of Green Harbor.

Green Port is located in the coastal area at the southernmost tip of the Plantis continent. It is hot and rainy all year round. The plants growing on the hilly, low-mountain and plain terrain also have distinct regional characteristics.

The most iconic are the rows of coconut trees and mangroves with thick leaves and stems near the port.

As the airship approached the Ceylon Territory in the east of the Reyak Kingdom, the environment began to change to the interior plains of the continent far away from the ocean.

The terrain is relatively flat and the climate is relatively mild. Several rivers originate from the Dark Forest and flow westward towards the royal capital. The fertile soil irrigated along the way is suitable for farming, so a large number of villages and towns are built along the rivers.

Looking from the air, you can see large stretches of neat golden wheat fields and traces of human buildings scattered on the land.

Unfortunately, further east, across the border, things don’t look so great.

Even when the sun rises and brings light to the continent, the Dark Forest still looks lifeless.

No matter how bright the sunlight is, it cannot illuminate the densely wooded primeval forest. There is a faint oppressive atmosphere lingering above the entire forest, which makes people feel scared just by looking at it from a distance.

Miranda frowned and looked in the direction of the dark forest.

When she was receiving Crusader training, she had been to the border once. Of course, she was only responsible for the treatment and logistics behind the front line.

She had heard about it from her fellow Crusaders at that time.

The situation in the Dark Forest has been getting worse in recent years, with the atmosphere of chaos becoming more serious and the number of monsters increasing. The Crusaders, adventurers, and mercenaries have been clearing out the monsters that have escaped from the forest for a long time, but the situation has not improved at all, and monsters are still pouring out from the depths of the forest.

The Ceylon Territory is the aristocratic fiefdom closest to the Mirkwood on the eastern border. It was granted to the Countess of Ceylon, who was loyal to the royal family. Her other identity is a powerful wizard who is said to be proficient in illusion and enchantment magic.

Countess Ceylon is a strong-willed and iron-blooded noble. Although the location of her territory is not very safe, after she took control of the governance of the territory, she took the lead in organizing adventurers to clear the monster threats on the border several times, and even made exterminating monsters into a business.

Yes, business.

After being contaminated by evil aura and transformed into monsters, the original body structure of animals and plants will be distorted.

But the results of this distortion are not necessarily all bad. Sometimes, good materials for weapons and armor can be found from the corpses of monsters, or materials for certain potions can be extracted, or even some unique raw materials can be found.

Before her canonization, the Countess of Ceylon was a famous adventurer.

She had a close relationship with a dwarf friend and left many stories about their deeds on the continent.

The various materials obtained from killing monsters were directly supplied by her through the channels of her dwarf friends to the dwarf city of Stone Castle adjacent to the north of the Kingdom of Reyak.

A stable industrial chain was formed, which revitalized the economy of Ceylon.

……

"Dear distinguished passengers and friends, we are about to arrive in Ceylon! If you need to return, please consider the Jinchao Pofeng. It has maintained an excellent record of zero mortality rate after sailing for many years. Captain Ronald will be your best choice for traveling and doing business!"

Along with Ronald's shrill and piercing voice, the goblin airship wobbled and landed in an open space outside Ceylon City, making a loud bang when it landed.

When getting off the airship, Pete noticed that some unknown parts had fallen off the tail wing due to the impact of landing.

"If I ride this rip-off Jinchao Pofeng again in my life, I'll be a dog!"

Pete swore secretly in his heart.

Unlike Pete and Gale, two locals who were born and raised in the Ceylon region, Brandon and Lena were both coming to the border of the kingdom for the first time, and this was a border where they had monsters as neighbors.

The first impression of Ceylon City is that its people are tough!

Adventurers and mercenaries of all kinds from all over the Kingdom of Reyak gathered here.

The dark forest is a symbol of danger, but danger also brings opportunities.

If you fight monsters for too long, you might be contaminated by the evil spirit and become corrupted.

But short-term hunting would not be a big problem, so adventurers and mercenaries who make a living by destroying monsters and searching for valuable deformed materials were born.

As for the second impression.

Reina looked at the temporary shacks outside the city and exclaimed:
“So many refugees!”
