Lord Helanza

The process of meeting the captain of this magical airship was quite relaxed and enjoyable. Surdak used the money given by the head of the Shining Adventure Group to rent a room with a window from the captain. In a cabin for people, in addition to a bed, there is also a round glass window where you can admire the sea of ​​clouds outside the airship. Near the glass window, there is a folding desk and a walnut chair. The luggage rack, in general, the room is very comfortable.

Sitting by the window, through the clean glass window, you can see the sea of ​​clouds rolling under the airship, and there are occasional rows of migratory birds flying by in the distance.

They spread their wings and flew in the strong wind layer followed by a cold air current, much faster than the magic airship.

The biggest difference between a magic airship and a ship on the sea lies in the rudder. The rudder of an ordinary ship is in the tail section of the ship, which can control the course of the ship.

But the rudder of the airship is set in front of the magic airship, which looks like a huge spinnaker floating in front of the airship.

The crew relies on this spinnaker to control the direction of sailing. Of course, they can only slightly adjust the angle of the course in the channel. This kind of magic airship is most taboo to turn back in the middle. If you want to change the direction, It is necessary to use the captain's experience to find another wind direction channel in the blast layer.

Apart from this, the captain also needs to calculate the specific position of the airship while sailing.

The airship flies on the sea of ​​clouds most of the time. If accurate calculation and mapping are not carried out, any deviations will accumulate, and the sailing direction may be very different from the destination.

The "tuk tuk tuk" knock on the door sounded.

"Come in!" Surdak said casually, retracting his gaze from the window.

The cabin door was not locked, and the door was pushed open from the outside. The crew member who was rescued from the pulley block by Surdak pushed the restaurant station outside with a smile on his face.

"Surdak Knight, your lunch is here, you can choose what you want..."

The crew enthusiastically gave Surdak a hearty meal, and Surdak was there I'm not polite, I chose a few dishes from the dining cart raise upwards, a plate of pastries, a plate of black pepper barbecue steak with boiled cauliflower, a glass of ale floating with ice cubes, and a bowl of seafood chowder soup.

Surdak didn’t think that the crew member would personally push the meal over, and he could eat it with peace of mind. In any case, he still took out his ferry ticket to write off the account. This ferry ticket is a famous magic The airship provides three meals to passengers, but this ticket of Surdak may not be able to enjoy the exquisite food in front of them, but who cares about this?

As usual, I gave the crew a little tip, which made the crew smile even more, and thanked Surdak again and again.

The beginning of travel is often full of novelty and fun.

The crew then explained to Surdak the various functions and entertainment facilities of this enchanted airship, but many of the facilities are not open to the civilian class. The identity of Knight just allows him to go in and enjoy it. .

The crew member said: Some special services are provided on board. If Surdak feels the journey is lonely, he will recommend Surdak the youngest and beautiful bunny girl on board to serve.

Surdak asked a bit about the cost of the service. It costs about fifteen Silver Coins a night, which is still a bit expensive.

Apart from this, there is still a gambling hall on the ship where you can play cards, but the crew does not recommend Surdak to spend money on this, because such gambling halls often like to set up games to slaughter fat sheep, no matter Who has become a fat sheep, the taste of losing money will not be too pleasant.

In addition to these, there is also a bar on board.

The crew reminded Surdak that the bar is also open during the day, and the price of wine is much cheaper than in the evening. If you want to drink, you can go during the day, but during the day there is no exciting performance. If you want to see the performance, you must wait until the evening. Go, just try to drink as little as possible in the evening. In the evening, the price of the wine is not ordinary.

...

Five days later, Surdak was still sitting on the walnut chair by the glass window. At this moment, he was tired of the sky in front of him.

There is still an endless sea of ​​clouds below. In fact, Surdak still hopes that the airship can fly over the edge of the sea of ​​clouds, so that we can see the vast continent below.

the past few days Surdak went to the gambling hall to take a look when I was bored. The gambling hall was not too big, and I could barely set up four gaming tables in a narrow space to play cards. Basically, it was some middle-aged nobles and ladies on the ship. The chips on the table were all golden light gold coins, which immediately let Surdak dispel the courage to try it.

Surdak went to that tavern several times, and the barley wine in the tavern is not bad, maybe the brewing method is somewhat different, the ale has a special aroma, Surdak likes it after dinner , Cut a small plate of red sausage, and have a cup of fragrant ale, and let it be in bed with a slight drunkenness, which is actually quite enjoyable.

Surdak also went to the Fourth Layer below the deck in the past two days and visited his ancient Bora horse.

However, that Gubrian horse seemed to have no energy. It seemed that he was not used to riding in an airship. The whole horse lost a lot of weight. Surdak felt distressed and wished to give the horseman two whips. Let him figure out whose horse he is feeding.

But just before leaving, Surdak’s thoughts changed again. He gave up the stupid idea of ​​beating the groom, instead he graciously gave the groom a tip, and asked him to take extra care in person. Own horse.

The groom was very happy to receive an extra tip, and then he also made a guarantee that in the days to come, the special forage for the high level black scale horses could be evened out. , To Surdak’s horse, let it post the fat back as much as possible.

When Surdak was wandering on the deck, I saw the members of the shining adventure group again. The burly head also asked Surdak personally, since he changed the bed, why he has not seen him Go back to Surdak and stay in the cabin for one night?

Surdak is of course impossible to say directly, I took the money you compensated me, and got a more comfortable room. I can only vaguely say that the place I live in is not bad. The head of the Shining Adventure Group once again sincerely expressed his gratitude to Surdak, which made Surdak a little bit embarrassed.

Seeing that the voyage of the magic airship is about to be half completed, on the evening of the seventh day, the scorching sun has gradually fallen below the horizon, but the light is still very bright during this period of time above the clouds. Surdak was standing at the bow, watching the crew steer the spinner carefully, and chatting with those crew members from time to time.

At this moment, a light gauze cloud suddenly rises from the distant clouds. Looking through the golden sun, it looks like a sandstorm rises in the distance, just in the sky to the west, some covering the heavens, shielding the sun.

Not long afterwards, there was a buzzing sound in the distance. Many people on the ship discovered this abnormality. Just when everyone started to discuss what the dust in the distance was, the crew We already showed a look of panic, and someone moved towards the captain of the airship to report the matter, and someone quickly opened the hatch, and unexpectedly began to move out one piece of iron armor from the inside.

Apart from this, the crew also took out a large amount of red powder from the warehouse, poured a large amount of clean water into the big tub, and made a kind of red fuel with a lighter color, which was on the airship. The crew quickly wiped the deck of the ship with mops.

At the same time, the sandstorm in the distance covered the heavens, shielding the sun. The blue clouds finally rolled over. Only then did Surdak see things like those sandstorms. Where is the dust? Those are clearly The flying bird hiding the sky and covering the earth, that kind of bird with red feathers all over it, is connected in the air like a burning ball of flames, but the magic airship is going straight along the course to the huge bird The tide slammed into it.
