"No, I thought about the night I met Sister Eden. Is that what you said then?"
"Correct."
"I also said at the time that I would only come if I was with Li Ang."
Zoe stared at the young man, his image the only thing in her clear ruby eyes.
"Now, we've finally signed up for the Air Cavalry Group together and are eating delicious food together. I think it's really great. Really, when I think about how I was wandering around the island so many days ago, it feels like a dream."
Zoe picked up a pan-fried shrimp tail with a fork and placed it on Leon's plate. She then used the fork to split it in half and put the other half on her own plate.
"Let's eat together." The girl showed him a pure smile.
Li Ang raised his hand and touched her head, then rubbed his chest and looked at his plate.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Dorothy sitting on my left. This lady seemed to have heard nothing. With a perfect, faint smile on her face, she took out the salt-baked shrimp and said softly, "I'll help you peel it."
She peeled off the shrimp shell and placed the shrimp tail intact on Li Ang's plate.
Leon stared straight ahead, while Eden lowered his head, as if nothing had to do with it. Will glared at him, "What are you looking at? How do you want me to judge you? You brought this upon yourself."
What was I thinking the other day? Looking for a stable and reliable partner?
Next one, the next one must be a normal person!
After finishing their meal and replenishing some supplies, the group arrived at the port.
Will and Leon hugged each other and said goodbye, while Eden gave his blessings to the three of them.
Perhaps due to her incarnation as a human and her years of mastering priestly skills, her blessings are very powerful.
[Strong Frost Blessing]
[Ice protection bestowed upon you]
[Effects: Heat adaptation, fire resistance 20%, cold spell amplification 15%, attack and spell increase water element attack by 5%]
[Duration: 7 days]
If you drive at full speed to the Sabrum airspace, you can enjoy one or two days in the Glittering Fields.
The engine started slowly, and the boat flew into the wind and snow as friends watched.
"Why is it so slow?" Zoe asked dissatisfiedly shortly after setting sail.
"I'm so sorry to have only a little boat," said Dorothy angrily.
"Of course it can't be compared to when you came here." Li Ang patted her shoulder: "Once we build our own boat, we will be faster and faster."
"Now that we've officially set sail, don't be idle during the journey. Let's start practicing."
Leon said to Dorothy, "Especially you. I must supervise you to get used to casting spells again. This is crucial for the experience in the Shimmering Fields."
Dorothy thought about it and blushed as she said, "Be sure to supervise them carefully."
Leaving Zoe to practice swordplay in a spacious area, Leon pulled Dorothy into the room.
The half-elf girl quietly fastened the lock before sitting down on the chair.
"Try your priest healing skills."
Dorothy closed her eyes and drew on the magic.
Spellcasting and combat become second nature once mastered, impossible to forget, but like riding a bicycle, if you don't ride for too long, you'll still stumble.
Dorothy was like this now. Her long and curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and the magic power she pulled was not smooth. In the end, she only released a faint healing spell.
"That's it? You're not as good as you were when you were sixteen.
The half-elf girl lowered her head, closed her eyes, and then opened them again: "I can't let it out."
"You don't even have any magic power."
She did it on purpose.
"Forget it, forget it. Just hold out your hand. If you treat yourself, maybe you'll be able to remember things faster."
Knowing that she has such a bad character, she must be educated.
The girl honestly spread out her white palms. Just as Li Ang was about to raise his hand, she turned around, took out a thin whip from somewhere and put it in his hand.
"You guy..."
Dorothy's palms were enveloped in the light of healing magic. With each blow, the light grew brighter and brighter, and the water in her eyes grew fuller.
"...Okay, now that you've gotten the hang of it, that's it for today."
Just as Li Ang was about to leave, the girl grabbed his sleeve and said softly, "How about changing the location of the injury? I think it might be more effective..."
Her voice was like a soft whisper in the mist.
The three of them spent their travel time practicing.
On the morning of June 6, the boat arrived above the large island of Shimmering Field.
The vast, silvery-white sand plains reflected the dazzling sunlight, streaked with black tracks, representing artificially marked racetracks. A strong wind whipped up dust, blurring the sky above the island.
In this hazy dust, platinum-colored shadows flew by rapidly.
On the east side of the desert, people and small airships traveled between the buildings, while on the west side were arid mountains filled with caves.
The boat docked at the harbor and three people got off.
Li Ang called out from the front, "Come on, I'll take you to the exotic market first."
85. Strange girl
Zoe and Dorothy live alone on a remote island. They have not been to many islands and have been living a repetitive and monotonous life in recent years. When the concept of the so-called exotic market came out, their eyes lit up immediately.
Frost Sky Island is still a bit monotonous, but the Glittering Field that Leon chose is completely different.
As soon as we left the port, we were greeted by a wave of people of all kinds.
Zoe held Leon's hand and looked at the aliens next to her without restraint.
The villagers of Satus Island were all human, and she had actually seen some people of other races at the waterway entrance and on Frost Sky Island. However, when she arrived here, the people who came and went dressed in exotic clothing and seemed to be from another world.
The men of the Oxhorn Tribe have strong exposed muscles, while the women have trembling fruits that are hard to ignore, and it makes people wonder whether the waist that serves as a transition between the upper and lower ends of the body will bend easily.
Zoe: "Why do they get so big?"
Dorothy smiled widely. "Why? Have you finally realized your limitations?"
The little wildcat puffed up its cheeks and ignored her.
In fact, regardless of gender, they all have very strong natural muscle strength, and women's slender waists can burst out amazing power.
The beast-eared people here have short tails, but they like to wear metal jewelry. They have various metal rings on their arms and ankles, and thorn rings on their ears and even on their noses and lips. Some are connected with thin metal chains as decoration.
"Are those magical equipment?" Zoe asked.
Li Ang explained: "This is a local tradition, just for decoration. But once you get used to wearing it, you won't need to get it pierced if you find something good like it."
There are not many gnomes in the Shining Wilds, and they mainly wear wide, lantern-like clothing to facilitate heat dissipation and ventilation.
Zoe: "Will they be blown away by the wind?"
"This clan is good at magic, generally speaking, not unless there's a particularly strong storm."
The dress of the elves and humans here is a combination of the above three styles, and they wear all kinds of clothes.
Regardless of race or attire, they all have a cloak. The sandstorms, drought, and heat here are extremely deadly in the wild, so even if they need to temporarily fold their cloaks for shopping, they still need to carry them.
Li Ang pointed at the cloaks of passersby and said, "We are on this island, so we need to buy a few of these cloaks."
If you get a large piece of leather, you can use equipment crafting to make a similar cloak.
Zoe's gaze was so direct that some people glared back at her, and Dorothy was so scared that she hid behind Leon.
"You can keep an eye on it here, but be careful when there are more people inside."
"There are places with more people?!" Dorothy exclaimed in surprise.
"This place has a long and complex history. Before the Guild was founded, it was very prosperous, even serving as a transit point for the slave trade. Even though the Guild advocated for the abolition of slavery everywhere, various local forces remained deeply entrenched.
"There are many such cases in the airspace of Sabram."
After Leon finished explaining, Dorothy became even more nervous: "Slave, slave? This is too barbaric, completely different from us Ignis!"
"But I remember that you lords were also barbarians who invaded everywhere with the emperor who founded the empire."
"You have a good memory." Dorothy poked Leon with her finger.
After poking for a while, she leaned close to Li Ang and whispered, "Master, you can use me less preciously."
Enticed by the aroma from her mouth, Leon pushed the guy away a little, temporarily isolating himself from the influence of her enchanting charm.
"The slaves here are different...never mind, you'll see them later."
The city in the Glittering Wilderness cannot be called a city accurately. It is composed of a group of buildings that were built randomly without any planning in the early days, and their directions are different.
After passing through the block near the port, the three of them entered a long and wide corridor with a colorful dome, and various regular shops began to appear on both sides.
Zoe suddenly stopped and pointed to a staircase leading down as Dorothy asked.
"There's a fight going on there."
"Then we must get away quickly," said Dorothy.
Li Ang bent down slightly and took a look. Over there was an underground fighting arena.
Seeing Zoe's curious expression, he said, "Go and take a look. That's also a specialty here."
The little wildcat was waiting for his consent and rushed to the edge of the underground ring at the speed of light.
"Ring fighting is the specialty?" Dorothy exclaimed, "Isn't the specialty here airship racing?"
"That's the most flattering thing on the surface. In reality, this place has always been a wealthy area due to its rich mineral resources. And because of its backward culture, there was open slavery, and life was worthless.
"The rich here want excitement, and some people make a living from it. And airship racing actually has a dark side."
"I thought it would be a scene with full sponsorship, celebrities gathering, luxury cars and beautiful women." Dorothy sighed.
"That only happens on prosperous islands, and a lot of it is just stage scenes."
Unlike regular racing cars on Earth, Newbis's airship needs to fly fast, which requires the use of a large amount of precious materials. Leon has never seen anyone do this before.
Generally speaking, small boats used for racing are either for show, or they are the ultimate speed configuration that can only be seen in the Flash Field, sacrificing safety due to material limitations.
"How dare you compare that thing to us?" a passerby said disdainfully. "Speed and passion, blood and death, racing for the big prize, risking everything. Only with the murderous intent to blast your opponent to pieces, leaving them rotting in flames, can you be called a Platinum Soul!"
The speaker was a Bullhorn man who had also come down the stairs to watch the fight. He folded his muscular arms and said, "This year's Platinum Race is starting in a week. I have connections, and I can get you a good front row seat. Do you want tickets? Rich men and women from outside?"
Dorothy was so frightened by the stranger that she was speechless. Leon put his arm around her and moved slightly away from her, saying, "No, thank you."
"Oh, a tasteless and stingy couple."
The bull man walked towards the ring cursing.
Dorothy let out a long sigh. "I'm so scared! I'm so scared! The people here are so scary and rude. But since he can tell we're a couple, I won't bother with him."
The half-elf was muttering to himself, but the little wildcat had already started watching the game.
In the underground ring, two fighters, wearing tight clothes, fought with all their might, punching each other flesh to flesh.
"Hit! Hit his calf!" Zoe's sweet voice, slightly hoarse, was particularly noticeable amid the crowd's shouts, and many people were drawn to her.
The two people on the stage also heard her voice, and the attacker kicked his opponent's calf, which happened to be the opponent's weak point.
The defender was kicked and fell to his knees. He was attacked repeatedly in the head. He finally managed to block it and took a breath to prepare to counterattack when he heard the girl behind him shout, "Hit him on the left side of the neck!"
It was like a flash of lightning in his mind, and he threw a punch quickly. The opponent who had just attacked was unable to defend this position and was knocked down by the punch.
The referee started counting down and finally announced that this person won.
The crowd did not cheer, but instead many people stared at Zoe with strange eyes.
Li Ang stepped forward and pulled her away: "What are you doing?"
"I shouted along. I saw they were all shouting."
"They were just joining in the fun, but you just happened to point out a loophole in their offense and defense."
Before on Satus Island, Leon felt that this little girl had a good fighting talent, but he didn't expect that she could also see the general idea without swordsmanship.
"Today's unlimited rounds duel! Is anyone else coming?" the referee shouted on the ring.
Li Ang had been here before and knew how they played. This infinite round was open to anyone, but they couldn't wear any equipment. Before entering, they had to stake a small amount of valuables as a prize pool. If they lost, they left the stage, and if they won, they continued. This continued until the timer ran out or no one else entered.
