The next day, the sky was clear and the wind was a bit strong, blowing toward the southeast.
Many people gathered around the square early in the morning. The soldiers kept the onlookers at the outside, and several luxurious chairs were placed around the fire platform. Count Babenberg sat on one of the chairs, his
Behind him stood Amy, dressed as a man as a guard.
It was obviously very cold, but Count Babenberg kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves. He turned around pretending to ask for water, and when no one was paying attention, he lowered his voice and begged Amy:
"Um...can I just stay here for a while?"
"No. If you don't go up, the island republic will be suspicious."
Count Babenberg slumped back in his chair, staring nervously at the vehicle on the platform. Just yesterday, under Amy's coercion, he proposed to Patisipaccio that he wanted to ride on the aircraft together.
"Strong desire." Patisipachio was worried that he could not find anyone who dared to fly in an aircraft to monitor Paracelsus. When he heard that Count Babenberg had come to apply, he happily agreed immediately.
Soon, Count Babenberg, "accompanied" by Amy, will fly into the sky in that vehicle, and have a friendly and intimate exchange with the legendary Paracelsus in the air. Paracelsus
Ersus is closely protected by the Island Republic, and this is the only chance to contact him.
Count Babenberg tried to persuade Amy to give up this plan: "Is it really good for you to go up together? I heard that the last experiment...did a chicken die?"
But Amy didn't even move her eyelids: "Both dogs and sheep are alive, but we are much stronger than sheep."
Seeing that he failed to convince Amy, Count Babenberg could only vent his anger on the soldiers of the Island Republic: "What are you doing standing here stupidly? Go and check that thing carefully a few times! If I fall, your governor
I can’t spare you!”
The crowd was suddenly forcibly separated by a group of guards who broke in. A luxurious carriage passed through the crowd and stopped in the center of the square. Two maids helped the potbellied Patisipaccio out of the carriage.
Coming down, following him came a short, fat man with a red nose.
Patisipachio got off the carriage and walked towards Count Babenberg. Amy heard him and the fat man behind him arguing.
"According to the plan, I am the only one flying today, and no other personnel should be temporarily loaded!"
"If it can only carry one person, then what's the point of this experiment? The Qiqiu Empire's fleet is coming soon, and I don't have time to carry out the experiment according to your plan step by step."
"But the risk factor for carrying people is too high..."
"You dare to sit on it by yourself, why are you afraid of a few more people? Are you trying to take this opportunity to escape?"
"How is it possible? You also saw that the wind is southeast today. If you want to run, the dye will fall into the sea after it is gone..."
While he was talking, Patisipachio had already arrived in front of Count Babenberg. He pushed the fat man forward, and then said to Count Babenberg with a smile: "Introduction, this is our protagonist today,
Paracelsus, who controls the element of fire!"
Amy was very disappointed to hear that the fat man was called "Paracelsus" by the governor of the island republic. Although after listening to Joseph's words yesterday, she had probably guessed the rumored "Paracelsus"
"It was not the same girl she was looking for, but before seeing her face with her own eyes, she still had a glimmer of hope.
After calming down her disappointment, Amy looked at the fat man carefully again. Since it was not the girl, then the fat man should be the real Parace mentioned by John De Rupisisa and Joseph Duchene.
According to what they said, Paracelsus was an extremely powerful magician. But Amy didn't think so. She tried her best but couldn't feel anything from Paracelsus.
The flow of magic. There are only two possibilities: either his magic level is beyond the range that Amy can perceive, or he does not know magic at all.
Paracelsus failed to persuade Patisipachio, so he set his sights on Count Babenberg.
"Are you really going to fly up with me? It's not fun. Except for those inspired prophets, no one has ever flown into the sky. People have wanted to build towers to reach the sky.
As a result, I was punished by God. I am not sure whether God will be angry this time."
Earl Babenberg was overjoyed and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to retreat justifiably. But Amy did not give him a chance to speak at all: "We do not believe in the Abrahamic Church, and your God cannot punish us."
"Paracelsus, don't say anything more." Patisipachio said impatiently, "Time is running out, let's get started."
Paracelsus had no choice but to take Count Babenberg on the circular vehicle. Amy, as the bodyguard of Count Babenberg, naturally followed.
The soldiers of the Island Republic began to light a fire under the platform, and the hot air flow caused the cloth bag in the center of the ring to gradually bulge.
Count Babenberg nervously grabbed the rattan on the edge and shouted to Paracelsus beside him: "I don't want to fly into the sky for no reason. What is the structure of this vehicle? How safe is it?
?”
"As you can see, the entire structure is just the ring we are sitting on now, plus the cloth bag in the middle. In order to fly into the sky more easily, the weight of the vehicle has been deliberately reduced. It is made of rattan, maybe not
It is very reliable. When the cloth bag in the middle is filled with hot air, it will pull the rattan rods to fly up. As for after leaving the ground, it depends on a heating device installed under the cloth bag for continuous heating. "
"Heating? I don't see any firewood here!"
"It's not heated with firewood. It's too heavy and the effect is not good. The dye used is a liquid that will automatically burn when exposed to the air. It doesn't have a name yet, so let's call it Ocean Fire - yes
Yes, this liquid is not very stable and may explode at any time, so please be mentally prepared for this."
"Will it explode? I won't do it anymore! Let me go..."
Before the word "go down" was uttered, Count Babenberg felt the murderous intent emanating from Amy's eyes. He quickly changed his words: "Let me control the heating device, so that this thing doesn't explode!"
Paracelsus gave Amy a meaningful look.
"Indeed, next time I should design the vehicle under the pocket, but I'll leave it like that this time. I'm going to fly, and I don't even think about it now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd of onlookers suddenly burst into exclamations - the huge balloon that had inflated to the extreme steadily and powerfully pulled Amy and others slowly away from the ground.
