The process of meeting the captain of this magic airship was quite relaxed and pleasant. With the money given by the leader of the Shining Adventure Group, Surdak rented a single cabin with a window from the captain. In addition to
In addition to the bed, there is a circular glass window that can view the sea of clouds outside the airship. There is a folding desk and a walnut back chair near the glass window, and there is a simple luggage rack above the head. Overall
The room is very comfortably furnished.
Sitting by the window, through the clean glass window, you can see the rolling sea of clouds below the airship, and occasionally there are rows of migratory birds flying by in the distance.
They spread their wings and fly with the cold air currents in the strong wind layer, much faster than magic airships.
The biggest difference between a magic airship and a ship on the sea is the rudder. The rudder of an ordinary ship is at the stern of the ship and can control the course of the ship.
But the rudder of the airship is set in front of the magic airship. It 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 route in the channel. It is most taboo to turn back midway when sailing this kind of magic airship. If you want to change the direction, you must rely on the captain's experience.
Find another wind channel in the gale layer.
In addition, the captain also needs to calculate the specific position of the airship during navigation.
Airships spend most of their time flying on the sea of clouds. If accurate calculations and mapping are not carried out, any deviations accumulated, and the navigation direction may be far away from the destination.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk" the knock on the door sounded.
"Please come in!" Suldak said casually, looking away from the window.
The hatch was unlocked and someone pushed the door open from the outside. The crew member who was rescued from the pulley by Suldak was standing outside pushing the dining station with a smile on his face.
"Knight Surdak, your lunch has arrived, you can choose whatever you want..."
The crewman very enthusiastically served a sumptuous meal to Suldak. Surdak was no longer polite and chose several plates of exquisite meals from the dining car, a plate of pastries, and a plate of black pepper barbecue steak with boiled water.
Cauliflower, a glass of ale floating on ice and a bowl of seafood chowder.
Suldak didn't think that the crew member personally pushed the meal over, so he could eat it with peace of mind. In any case, he took out his ticket to cancel the bill. This ticket was provided by the famous magic airship to passengers.
Three meals are provided, but with this boat ticket in Suldak, you may not be able to enjoy the exquisite food in front of you, but who cares about this?
I gave the crew member a small tip as usual, which made the crew member smile even more and thank Suldak repeatedly.
The beginning of a trip is often filled with novelty and fun.
The crew member then explained to Surdak the various functions and entertainment facilities of this magic airship. However, many of the facilities were not open to civilians. His knight status made him qualified to go in and experience it.
The crew member said: The ship provides some special services. If Surdak feels lonely on the journey, he will recommend the youngest and most beautiful bunny girl on the ship to provide door-to-door service for Surdak.
Surdak asked vaguely about the cost of the service. It cost about fifteen silver coins per night, which was still a bit expensive.
In addition, there is a gambling hall on the ship where you can play cards, but the crew member does not recommend that Surdak spend his money on this, because this kind of gambling hall often likes to set up games to slaughter fat sheep, no matter who becomes the
Fat sheep, the feeling of losing money is not very pleasant.
In addition to these, there is also a bar on the ship.
The crew specially reminded Suldak that the bar is also open during the day, and the price of alcohol is much cheaper than at night. If you want to drink, you can go there during the day, but there are no exciting performances during the day. If you want to watch the show, you must wait until the evening.
Try to have as few drinks as possible at night. In that bar, the prices of drinks are not as cheap as usual at night.
…
Five days later, Suldak was still sitting on the walnut chair by the glass window. At this moment, he was a little tired of the sky in front of him.
There was still an endless sea of clouds under his feet. In fact, Suldak still hoped that the airship could fly over the edge of the sea of clouds so that he could see the vast continent below.
When Suldak was bored these days, he went to the gambling hall to take a look. The gambling hall was not very big. There were only four gambling tables in the narrow space. Most of the card players were on board.
Some middle-aged nobles and ladies, the chips on the table were all shiny gold coins, which immediately made Surdak give up the courage to try it.
Suldak has been to that tavern several times, and the barley wine in the tavern is pretty good. Maybe it’s due to the different brewing techniques. The ale has a special aroma. Suldak likes it very much after dinner.
Cutting a small plate of red sausage, and a glass of fragrant ale, it is actually quite enjoyable to have it on the bed with a slight drunkenness.
Surdak also went to the fourth floor below the deck in the past two days to visit his ancient horse.
However, the ancient Bolai horse looked lethargic, as if it was not used to flying in airships. The whole horse had lost a lot of weight, which made Suldak feel distressed and wished he could give the groom two whips to let him figure it out.
Whose horse are you feeding?
But just before leaving, Suldak's mind changed again. He gave up the stupid idea of beating the groom. Instead, he generously gave the groom a tip and asked him to take extra care of his horse in person.
The groom was very happy to receive an extra tip, and then he also promised that in the days to come, he could evenly distribute the special fodder for high-grade black-scaled horses to Surdak's horses.
, let it stick the fat back as much as possible.
When Surdak was wandering on the deck, he saw the members of the Shining Adventure Group again. The burly leader personally asked Surdak why he hadn't seen Su since the beds had been changed.
Erdak returns to the cabin to stay for one night?
Of course, Suldak couldn't directly say, I used the money you compensated me to get a more comfortable room. He could only vaguely say that the place where he lives now is not bad. The shining person
The leader of the adventure group once again expressed his sincere thanks to Surdak, which made Surdak feel a little embarrassed.
Seeing that the magic airship's journey was about to be halfway completed, on the evening of the seventh day, the scorching sun had gradually fallen below the horizon, but the light was still very bright above the clouds at this time. Surdak stood on the ship
Head, he was carefully watching the crew maneuver the spinnaker to pilot the boat, and chatted with the crew from time to time.
At this time, a gauze cloud suddenly rose from the clouds in the distance. Looking through the golden sun, it looked like a sandstorm had risen in the distance, somewhat covering the sky in the western sky.
Not long after, there was a buzzing sound in the distance. Many people on the ship noticed this abnormality. Just when everyone started to discuss what the dust in the distance was, the crew members already showed panic on their faces.
, some people began to report the matter to the captain of the airship, and some people quickly opened the hatch and actually started to take out pieces of iron armor from inside.
In addition, the crew members also took out a large amount of red powder from the warehouse, poured it into a large wooden basin, poured a large amount of water, and produced a red fuel that was somewhat light in color. The crew members on the airship took mops and quickly
wiping the deck of the ship.
At the same time, the blue clouds covering the sky like a sandstorm in the distance finally rolled over. Only then did Suldak see clearly those sandstorm-like things, what kind of sand was there, and those were clearly the overwhelming flying birds, that kind of bird
Covered in red feathers, they formed a cluster in the air like burning flames. However, the magic airship followed the channel and crashed headlong into the huge tide of birds.
