Above the mage

Chapter 109 Saint-Sien City

Fortunately, after another intense collision of magical energy, the airship finally returned to calm.

Gao De pressed himself against the boat window, looking out through the gradually stabilizing and extinguishing magical shield. At this moment, the huge figure of the wind element could no longer be seen.

"Is it dead or driven away?" Gaode could not get accurate information.

Inside the airship, the lights that had just been turned off by the wind element attack were turned on again.

The crew got busy, inspecting every corner of the airship to make sure there was no serious damage.

"Fortunately, Mage Frey was on the airship. He was a fully grown 4th Ring Wind Elemental, and he was in the sky. If it weren't for Mage Frey, even another 4th Ring Mage might not have been able to save the airship."

Then he heard the crew talking outside.

"Our luck is really bad. Wind elementals are among the most terrifying leyline creatures in the sky, but they are also very rare. It's amazing that we were able to run into one."

Gao De's heartbeat gradually calmed down, and he knew that the attack was really over.

The airship regained stability and continued along its predetermined route.

After standing by the window of the submarine for a while, Gao De returned to his cabin.

However, the unease in my heart did not completely dissipate.

"Airships aren't safe either, and if something happens to them, it's a 100% death sentence for me. I must master flight."

He set a short-term goal in his mind.

The rest of the journey was free of any further dangers or disturbances.

The airship traveled smoothly eastward.

Gao De, who had been staying in his cabin and didn't know much about the geography of this world, didn't understand where the airship had arrived.

Until someone knocked on Gaode's door.

Gao De opened the door and found a crew member in a crew uniform standing outside.

"We've arrived in St. Sein, we're about to land. Get ready, don't fall." The crew member came specifically to remind us.

"I understand, thank you."

Gao De took out his pocket watch and saw that it was only a little before 7 p.m.

For Dark Moon, at this point, the sun hasn't even completely set.

A thought struck him, and he quickly approached the boat window to look down.

Then I felt a jolt in my heart.

The dense primeval forests and rolling hills below have disappeared.

Instead, a magnificent river stretched endlessly from the horizon.

There were many large boats on the river, constantly weaving back and forth.

On the plains along the river, the golden wheat fields stretch as far as the eye can see, with no end in sight.

Not far away, Saint Sein City, the largest city in the entire Principality of Sein, came into view.

Among the rows of buildings that were still just black dots, one towering building was clearly visible, even from a great distance.

It is the tallest and most prominent building in Saint-Sien, located in the very center of the city.

Looking further afield, one can see a similar building perched atop a towering peak outside the city of Saint Sein, reaching into the clouds.

The materials used in the building should also be extremely special, like polished jade, shimmering in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"What is that?" Gao De was somewhat shocked.

This was the first time in the world he had ever seen such a tall building.

"The Mage Towers are also iconic buildings in our Saint Sein City. The one in the city center is the Palace Mage Tower, and the one outside the city is the Seres Mage Tower," a passing crew member casually told Gao De.

"Mage Tower," Gao De couldn't help but repeat the term.

While he was lost in thought, the Ancient Capital airship had already arrived above the airship base and was preparing to land.

As the most prosperous city in the Principality of Sien, Saint Sien City sees a considerable number of airships coming and going on a daily basis, including merchant caravans from other countries that come to trade.

Therefore, Saint-Sien has a dedicated airship base, large enough to accommodate the docking and departure of more than a dozen airships.

After confirming with the ground, the ancient airship, hovering above the airship base, began its final preparations for landing.

The gas suspended in the airbag is slowly released, like morning mist gently caressed by the dawn.

As the gas was gradually expelled, the airship began to descend slowly at a steady speed, approaching the ground.

However, the complex and ever-changing air currents made the descent of the airship full of swaying, making the passengers feel as if they were on a giant ship sailing through the waves.

When the Ancient Capital airship was less than 200 meters above the ground, the crew threw down several huge mooring ropes.

After the ground crew secured the ropes at lightning speed, the airship, which had been swaying slightly, stabilized immediately and began to descend at an accelerated pace.

The short flight has come to an end.

Gao De, who had already packed his luggage, looked at the huge airships parked outside the window of the boat with excitement in his eyes.

He waited in the cabin for a while, until all the mages on the upper deck had disembarked, before he stepped out of the cabin under the guidance of the crew.

Stepping out of the cabin door doesn't mean you can leave immediately.

You have to go through a special inspection channel and register your information before you can leave the airship base.

Carrying his luggage, Gao De walked somewhat shyly to the airship base ground staff, like a country bumpkin visiting the city for the first time, and inquired about the relevant matters.

The uniformed staff member was a young woman with blonde hair. She was very polite and patient, and answered Gaode's questions clearly.

After clarifying all the details and sincerely thanking him, Gao De walked towards the inspection channel.

Watching Gaode's departing figure, the blond staff member couldn't help but smile, finding it quite amusing.

To be able to board a royal airship, one must have some kind of background.

However, Gaode has an undisguised "country bumpkin" attitude, but it is not self-conscious. Although it asks detailed questions, it does not show any fear.

It's a very contradictory quality.

After completing a simple registration, Gaode left the airship base through the somewhat empty inspection passage.

Just as he was pondering where to find a guide to learn about Saint Sein City, Gao De spotted a familiar figure standing outside the airship base:

Miss Gerica stood gracefully beside her butler and a maid dressed in exquisite attire.

The three men had clearly waited there specifically before disembarking from the boat.

"Miss Gerica." God took a deep breath, quickly stepped forward, and greeted her politely.

Today, Miss Gerica was wearing a sky-blue dress, her features gentle and kind. She smiled and handed over a card that emitted a faint silver glow.

The card prominently displayed the Haynes family crest, that familiar bird with outstretched wings poised for flight.

"What's this?" Gao De hesitated for a moment, but still took the card.

"This is a silver card for the Haynes Hotel, which is one of my family's properties in St. Sien City."

"With this silver card, you can enjoy the best service and treatment at the Haynes Hotel, as well as the most favorable prices," Gerica's voice was gentle and clear.

"I imagine you're new to Saint Sein City and would need someone to guide you. However, I'm about to depart for the Seres Magic Academy, so please forgive any shortcomings in my hospitality."

"Miss Gerica, I am already grateful for your kindness in allowing me to travel to Saint Sein City by airship."

"I've heard about the Cyrus Academy of Magic before; it's a sacred place that mages like Sean dream of visiting. I wish you all the best there," Gao De said politely and courteously.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally added, "...And who knows, we might see each other again soon."

Gerica clearly couldn't grasp the deeper meaning behind God's words, "I also wish you all the best in your endeavors in Saint-Sien City."

After offering her simple blessings, Gerica said nothing more and boarded the carriage that was already waiting nearby before leaving.
