Hullington handed the helm to Alice and said to Stanley before entering the bedroom: "You don't want to sleep in the room tonight. I made a bunk for you in the cabin upstairs. Although the space is a bit small to sleep on,
It's enough, you have no objection."
Stanley quickly shook his head: "No, no."
"By the way." Hullington said, "Can you cook?"
"Won't."
Hullington said: "Then what can you do? Can you fly an airship?"
Stanley was silent.
Hullington said: "Hey, I said you don't know anything, but you still insist on following us, and you even said you can do a lot of things for us."
Stanley said: "I...I can learn."
Hullington said: "If that guy Bing Zhixie hadn't thought you were interesting and agreed to let you go with him, I would never have let you come up. Okay, flying an airship is easy to learn. You should learn it quickly. There are three of us.
It’s not that tiring to take turns driving, you should be able to do some magic.”
"Yes, I know a little bit." Stanley said honestly.
Hurlington waved his hand and went back to his room to sleep. Naturally, the room was cleaned repeatedly by General Shaw.
Alice sat alone in the cockpit, holding the necklace around her neck in a daze. The previous battle made her a little disappointed in the relationship between Gulap and herself, although she had long expected that Gulap would not listen.
Her own words, but at such a critical moment, Gulap's indifference made her feel a little chilled. She always thought that she and Gulap were not friends after communicating for so long, and they should at least have some feelings.
Stanley stood by the cockpit door, quietly watching Alice. He just stood there silently, with a strange light in his eyes. He looked at it for a long time, and suddenly felt a pair of cold eyes looking at him from behind.
Looking at himself, he quickly turned around. The person looking at him was Bing Zhixie.
Bing Zhixie looked at him for a while and then asked: "What are you doing?"
"I, I..." Stanley said: "Mr. Hullington wanted me to learn to fly an airship, but I saw Miss Alice was thinking about something and didn't dare to disturb her."
Alice got up from the chair and smiled: "It's okay, come here and I will teach you."
"Hey." Stanley nodded, then nodded to Bing Zhixie, and entered the cockpit.
Alice began to patiently teach Stanley how to fly an airship.
In fact, driving an airship is very simple. As long as you can freely control magic power, have some basic knowledge of magic, can open and close the wind magic circle on the bridge, and use the rudder, even a junior magician can do it with a little learning.
It’s easy to operate.
While Stanley was studying the driving of the airship seriously, he showed kindness to Alice in every possible way. He served tea, poured water, picked up books and moved chairs, and rushed to do everything for Alice.
Although Alice is a princess, she still feels a little flattered. She has been out for a year or two, and she has never been the only one to treat her master like this. No one has ever served her like this. She has been teaching for an hour or two, and Alice is really a little bit
Feeling uncomfortable, he said: "That's it anyway, come and try it."
"Hey." Stanley took over the rudder from Alice and tried to pilot the take-off airship.
Alice saw that after a while of test driving, she felt that it was quite stable, and she smiled and said: "Okay, that's it. Then you can be more skillful here. I'll take a break and take a rest. If you have any questions, just call me."
"Hey." Stanley said.
Arriving at the gangway and exiting the cockpit, Alice covered her mouth and let out a long yawn. She didn't sleep well last night, and the hot weather made her sleepy. The wind was very strong.
, standing under the piercing sunshine, enjoying the tranquility of noon, Alice quietly looked at the white clouds in the sky, thinking about something in her heart.
Teenagers are not a time of many worries, but they always have all kinds of inexplicable worries. Alice also has them, and she has many worries. People always think about some issues that they usually don’t think about when they are quiet.
I wonder what kind of person I will marry, when I will die, and the day when my dream will come true.
Everyone has dreams, and it is precisely because of dreams that they have troubles. Some people dream of becoming a princess, and some people dream of having a lot of money... Maybe this cannot be regarded as a dream, but can only be regarded as a goal.
, but precisely because she has these goals, her worries become more and more annoying. What is Alice bothering about? She is almost 15 years old when her worries first arise.
Suddenly, a jolt in the hull brought Alice back to reality from her thoughts. She was about to go back to the cockpit to take a look, but she heard a boy's shout coming from below the boat. Alice poked her head out from the side rail to
Looking down, she found a leg hanging out of the landing gear. She shouted down: "Hey, who's down there?"
"Come and save us, I'm afraid." The boy below cried.
Alice quickly ran to the lower cabin, opened the undercarriage basket, and found the four mischievous teenagers sitting on the railing of the landing gear shivering...
Back in the hall, the four rescued teenagers were still in shock. Alice poured a glass of ice water for each of them, and they looked a little better. Alice asked angrily: "How could you do this?"
Climb aboard our airship?"
The four teenagers all lowered their heads.
Alice said: "I just saw that the bottom of the bilge was painted colorfully by you, you must be here to cause trouble."
The four teenagers nodded.
The stocky little fat man said: "We were angry at being beaten by you and wanted to dirty your airship to give you some color to see, but the airship suddenly flew up and flew very high before we could jump off.
Yes, so..."
"oh."
"This idea came from Cora, you...don't hit me." The little fat man looked at Alice in fear, he was still covered in colors.
The short Cora snorted: "So what if it was my idea, coward."
Alice punched Cora's horned helmet: "You are quite impressive. Now that I have caught you, you still dare to be so arrogant."
This copper-colored horned helmet was a bit big, and it covered Cora's eyes with one blow. He pushed up the helmet and said: "If there is anything I dare not admit, I will take responsibility for what I have done."
Alice said: "You..."
"What's wrong?" Bing Zhixie came out of the bedroom and saw the four teenagers standing in the cabin: "Why are they here?"
Alice told her master what she knew.
Bing Zhixie asked: "What are your names?"
"My name is Barr." "Neo." "Gonzalo." "Co...Cora."
Alice said: "Master, should we send them back?"
Bingzhixie said: "Just stay here and let them go back on their own."
"Ah!" the four teenagers shouted at the same time.
Alice said: "This is not good, Master. Our airship has been flying for several hours. It will take them a long time to walk back. They may encounter danger in the wilderness."
"Yes, I will definitely do it." The timid Cora said: "I know that there are many forest wolves in the jungles in this area. They are very scary. Travelers passing by are often attacked and killed."
Alice said: "We can't leave them here."
Bing Zhixie hesitated for a moment: "Okay, send them back."
Alice ran to the cab and told Stanley to turn around.
Bing Zhixie waited for Alice to come out and said, "Don't disturb my rest. I want to take a nap."
"I understand, Master." Alice pointed at the four of them and said, "Follow me."
Arriving on the rear deck of the cabin, Alice said: "You just stay here, don't disturb my master while he's sleeping."
The short Bald said: "Is that kid your master?"
"You are a child, little brat." Alice said, "Just wait, I will get you some food."
When they heard that there was food, the four teenagers nodded happily. After Alice left, they looked around.
Barr leaned on the fence and looked down and said: "It's great, you can see so clearly below."
"Look, look, I see the people below, they are looking at us." Cora waved down excitedly: "Hey, we are here, have you seen us?"
Neo hit Cora and said, "Don't shout so loud, or you'll wake that guy up."
Cora rubbed her head, still very excited and said: "We can also take such a luxurious airship. I really want to throw something down to make the people below notice us."
Barr clapped his hands and said: "Good idea." He turned around to look for something to throw down, but found Gonzalo standing alone in the middle of the deck and not coming over.
Cora asked: "What's wrong with you, Gonzalo? Come and take a look, it's beautiful down there."
Barr smiled and said: "Hey, don't call him. He won't come over. As long as he stands on a high place, he will be less courageous than a rabbit."
"Nonsense... nonsense." Gonzalo defended: "I'm just not interested in seeing those things. What's there to see?"
Barr smiled and said: "Stop pretending. Who doesn't know that you are afraid of heights? Your face turned pale with fright when you were trapped below."
"The same goes for you!" Gonzalo said: "Don't forget, this is someone else's airship, we should be more honest."
"What are you talking about anymore?" Alice brought some drinks, fruits and cakes and desserts.
The four of them looked expectantly at the food that Alice was holding, wanting to eat but not daring to reach out.
Fat Cora looked at Alice and said, "Is this for us to eat?"
"Yes." Alice put the food on the small table: "Please feel free to eat."
"Thank you, thank you." The four people rushed around and shouted: "This is mine, this is mine..."
Seeing how they were devouring their food, Alice asked curiously: "Didn't you eat anything at noon?"
The four of them ate so ferociously that they had no time to speak. It took them a long time to say a vague "no".
Alice said: "If you don't go back for dinner, won't your family be worried?"
Neo ate so hard that he choked. He beat his chest hard and drank a glass of chocolate milk before he finally swallowed it: "The food is so delicious, but it's still cold."
Gonzalo said while eating: "We have no family, we are all orphans."
"orphan?"
"Um."
Alice asked: "How long has it been since you had anything to eat?"
Barr thought for a while and said: "Yesterday... I ate two wild fruits at noon the day before yesterday. I ate nothing yesterday."
"You must be very hungry after not eating for so long." Alice said, "Would you like me to get you some more fish and meat?"
