There were some beautiful cumulonimbus clouds floating in the blue sky. Paracelsus carried Ella and Amy in a hot air balloon, floating slowly in the air with the wind.
Ella used her blue eyes to look at everything around her curiously: the earth spread out like a scroll below, the clouds that could never be reached, and the birds that flew by her.
Ella grabbed a handful of bread crumbs and fed them to the birds.
"Gu...it hurts! These birds are attacking me! Help, help!"
The birds that had eaten the crumbs in Ella's hand suddenly made a shrill cry, and then pecked Ella with their beaks like crazy.
"Go away!"
Amy threw a ball of flame at the bird that pecked the most fiercely. The bird was roasted instantly, and the other birds that were attacking Ella immediately ran away in fear. Amy looked at the bird holding its head. Ella, who was on guard, asked helplessly: "Your Majesty, what exactly did you feed those birds?"
"What the hell! Aren't they just ordinary bread crumbs? These ungrateful guys, I want to turn them into barbecue -!"
"...Where did the breadcrumbs come from?"
"Didn't you go to the Island Republic a few days ago? I tried to make it myself for fun. But the pirates didn't want to eat it, so I fed it to the birds!"
"Sorry, I killed a good bird by mistake."
Amy knelt down with great regret, held the roasted bird in her hands, lowered her head and confessed.
"Amy——! What do you mean!"
Just as Ella was preparing to pounce on Amy, Paracelsus said from the side: "We will soon be over the island republic. For safety reasons, we'd better increase the altitude."
Ella turned to look at Paracelsus: "How much height should I raise? Am I still afraid of them? Lower the height further. As long as their bows and arrows can't be hit, go down as much as possible! I am I want to see these traitors angry but helpless!"
"This is exactly what I like. I don't like the governor of the island republic either."
Paracelsus pushed a metal piece inward and turned down the flame that supplied the hot-air balloon for flight. As a result, the entire hot-air balloon gradually moved towards the ground at a slow speed.
Compared with the speed at which the hot-air balloon rises by throwing away the weighted stones, the hot-air balloon descends extremely slowly. During this period, in order to block Ella's mouth, Amy pulled out the feathers of the roasted bird. Roast it carefully over fire, turning it into a roasted whole bird in a food sense.
"Add more salt! Add more spice!"
Ella watched Amy roast the bird while passing the small jars towards Amy.
Amy looked at Ella with a strange expression: "Your Majesty...why do you have these things in your hands?"
"Don't worry about details like this! I just happened to have it with me!"
"Why do you happen to bring salt and spices with you when you fly in an aircraft? Your Majesty, I'm afraid you didn't come here just for the roasted bird in the first place!"
"Gu...I was just wondering if I could catch a quail..."
Ella's favorite is grilled quail.
Amy sighed and handed the roasted bird to Ella. Ella couldn't wait to tear off a calf, put it to her mouth and gnawed it... The hot air balloon stopped after it dropped to a certain height. It stopped. Driven by the wind, it passed by the island republic at low altitude, attracting many passers-by to watch. The conditions of the streets of the island republic were also clearly visible from the hot air balloon.
Ella looked at the city wall that they bypassed from the air, and thought thoughtfully: "If it can not be affected by the wind direction and can run faster, this can actually be used as a good investigative tool."
"I hope this thing will not be used for reconnaissance, but for drawing better maps." After a pause, Paracelsus shook his head again, "However, better maps will also be used for
War. This is always inevitable."
The Governor's Palace appeared below the hot-air balloon. Many guards had gathered on the roof. They held bows and arrows in their hands and looked at the hot-air balloon Ella was riding in with some hostility.
Paracelsus sighed: "Look at these bows and arrows - even though they know they are my hot air balloons, they are still so wary. That's why I hate working for the governor of the island republic."
"Let me teach them a lesson!" Ella stuck out her head and dumped all the eaten bird bones from the hot air balloon. "This is what Baselisa gave to you! Those who betrayed the Seven Hills Empire, eat the bones."
That’ll be great!”
A hail of arrows shot up, scaring Ella so much that she hid in the vehicle with her head in her arms. Fortunately, Paracelsus controlled the height of the hot air balloon properly, and those bows and arrows failed to touch the vehicle, and they all went towards it again.
It fell back to the ground. After the rain of arrows, Amy said reproachfully: "Your Majesty, don't make dangerous and meaningless provocations!"
Ella suddenly raised her head, her face full of confusion: "Something's wrong. Something's wrong."
"What's wrong is your Majesty! We are floating alone in the sky of the island republic now! What if we provoke them and get in danger? And it's not very lethal - even if your Majesty throws stones, I will take it seriously.
!”
"That's not it, Amy, something's not right."
Ella picked up a small stone for weighting, reached out of the hot air balloon, and found the right moment to throw the stone down. The stone did not hit the Governor's Mansion, and Ella's eyes became more and more confused: "Something's wrong, Amy, you
Have you noticed, something is really not right?"
"Except for your majesty throwing objects at high altitude, I didn't find anything wrong!"
"When I just threw the stone, the position was right above the Governor's Mansion!" Ella tried her best to explain to Amy what had just happened. "While the stone fell to the ground, the wind blew us forward for a certain distance, but the stone should not
Did it happen to fall on the Governor's Mansion? But in fact, whether it was a bone or a stone, the two landing points were a little further forward than the position when I let go, so the stone just did not hit the Governor's Mansion at all!"
Paracelsus heard Ella's words and said worriedly: "Isn't it because the bird bones and the stones you threw are very light, and they were blown forward a certain distance by the wind?"
"In that case, you might as well give this a try!"
Ella pointed to a stone as big as her head.
"It would be difficult for the wind to blow a stone of this size. Try throwing this down!"
Paracelsus doubtfully picked up the stone Ayla had chosen.
"Don't throw it away in a hurry, find a reference..."
The wind slowly and steadily pushed the hot air balloon toward the southeast. Just as it passed directly above the city wall of the island republic, Ella shouted: "Right now, hit the city wall with rocks!"
Paracelsus threw the stone down——
The stone did not hit the city wall, but fell right in front of the city wall as Ella said.
