The magic airship floats above the sea of clouds.
After the airship entered the airflow channel last night, after a night's flight, it had sailed out of the territory of the Newman family in Bena City. The light blue mountains under its feet now belong to the territory of the Collins family. After a while, you will see two lines.
Pulux City surrounded by mountain ridges.
The wind on the deck is very strong, and several crew members are raising the seventh jib sail on the bow. The difference between the magic airship and the sea ship is that these jib sails and spinnakers control the course of the airship. After entering the channel, unless it encounters extreme weather
, otherwise the airship will fly very smoothly for several days. During this period, the crew only need to make corrections to the airship's course according to the captain's instructions to allow the airship to sail normally.
It was the first time for all four of Surdak's men to ride a magic airship, and they were very new to it. Except for the ogre Gulitem, who was afraid of heights and hid in the cabin and refused to come out, the other three boarded.
Go up to the top deck of the magic airship, hold your hand on the railing and look at the spectacular sea of clouds.
The succubus Aphrodite looked at the dazzling sun in the distant sky and asked Surdak curiously: "Captain, how far is it from the city of Helensa?"
She followed Samira and Andrew's lead and called Surdak the captain.
Surdak pointed his finger directly in front of the airship and replied: "Flying in this direction, it will take at least six days to reach Hilanza."
Aphrodite turned her head, squinting her eyes under the black veil, with a faint smile on her lips, and said: "It's so far!"
Samira's hood was lifted by the wind, and the wind blew away the broken hair on her head. She leaned on the railing of the magic airship, quietly looking through the gaps in the clouds at the light green land.
A piece of deciduous forest with new buds sprouting, and rolling hills covered with a carpet of green grass.
In the early spring of Bena Province, the fields of many farms have been leveled. These fields and those that have not been plowed form two distinct colors.
Thick steam came out of the kitchen vent at the stern. The crew and slave traders in the kitchen were very busy all day long. The trolleys pushed out from the kitchen were filled with food made from wheat bran, sweet potato, and cabbage.
The crew transported the vegetable porridge to the shaft on the stern side of the ship, and hoisted a pot of vegetable porridge down the airship bottom cabin along the shaft.
Surdak couldn't understand how edible the kobold slaves in the bottom cabin were, so they made the crew and slave traders cook vegetable porridge in the kitchen all day long.
Originally, Surdak planned to ask these slave traders about the living habits of kobold slaves, but after asking several questions in succession, the slave traders could not tell anything. He only said that these kobold slaves were easy to raise and could do anything.
They were willing to eat, and they could live on whatever they gave them. They also said that these kobold slaves were very lazy, and if they wanted them to work obediently, they would have to whip them with the whip in their hands.
Surdak proposed to see the health of the two hundred kobold slaves in the cabin. This time the slave trader had no reason to shirk, so he took the initiative to lead Surdak up the ladder and into the bottom cabin.
The two slave traders guarding the door of the bilge opened the iron door bolt and slowly pushed open the large iron door of the bilge. The slave traders were already prepared to cover their mouths and noses with the scarves around their necks. Surdak was about to
When he walked into the hold, he felt a stinking heat wave coming towards his face. The strong smell almost knocked Suldak down.
The bottom floor of the airship is divided into ten independent cabins. In the middle is a corridor from the bow to the stern. There are five cabins on the left and right sides. Now it seems that the cabins and even the corridors are crowded with kobold slaves. These
When the kobold slaves saw the door suddenly being opened, they were so frightened that they took a few steps back.
Surdak was also shocked by so many kobold slaves crowded together. He did not expect that so many kobolds were crammed into the bottom cabin of less than 300 square meters. No wonder those slave traders had to cook for a whole day.
Porridge, there are so many kobold slaves in the bottom cabin, the food is indeed a little short.
The slave trader strode into the corridor of the bottom cabin, reached out and grabbed the ear of a kobold sitting in the corridor, and savagely dragged the kobold slave to the door to look at his teeth and eyes.
, showing the kobold's relatively healthy physique, and finally explained to Surdak: "Knight Surdak, look at how healthy it is. When we get to Hellanza City, there are so many kobold slaves, you can choose
Take the healthiest route…”
That's what the slave traders said, and that's exactly what they did.
…
After a whole week of flying, at noon on the seventh day, the magic airship finally arrived at the territory of Halanza City.
The oak trees all over the mountains and fields have begun to sprout branches, and the mountains and fields are filled with a layer of green. There is a fault in the sea of clouds here. When it is about to reach the city of Halanza, the magic airship breaks away from the channel of the air layer.
In the field of vision, the mountain city became clearer and clearer. Surdak, Andrew, Samira, and Aphrodite were standing on the bow deck. The ogre had gradually adapted to life on the magic airship these days.
, but he still didn't want to come to the side of the ship, and kept holding the thickest mast in the middle of the airship. When Surdak said that he was about to arrive at the city of Halanza, his face gradually showed joy.
Surdak pointed to the mountain city standing halfway up the mountain in the distance and introduced this small mountain city to everyone. Helensa City is much smaller than Wozhimara City. The buildings in the city are built against the mountain, making the buildings look particularly special.
It is compact, and every inch of space in the mountain city has been perfectly utilized. When looking down from a high altitude, Hilanza City feels like a three-dimensional exquisite sculpture.
"Are we going to live in this city in the future?" Aphrodite asked with a longing look on her face.
Surdak shrugged his shoulders and said: "I may go to the deserted land in the Paglos Mountains to serve as the sheriff there. I won't live here for long."
"This city is so beautiful!" Aphrodite exclaimed.
Surdak said: "If you want to stay here, I can help you make arrangements in advance..."
Aphrodite blinked her dark eyes and said with a smile: "I'd better follow you, on your territory, it might be safer that way."
After saying that, she pointed behind her and signaled to Surdak that her wings were broken and she was a succubus who had lost most of her power, but there was no expression of frustration on her face.
Returning to the city of Hiranza again, an emotion arose in my heart that was difficult to let go. Before Surdak could sigh in his heart, a sound of a whistle woke Surdak out of his mixed emotions.
The airship slid slowly in the air. The crew lowered all the sails on the airship. The magic airship relied on the magical power on the ship to move forward slowly. The flotation device made a buzzing sound and the huge mast creaked.
There was a sound, and the sail on the mast was tied to the lowest mast by the crew.
The captain docked the magic airship on the high tower of Helensa City Airport Terminal and docked it firmly at the high tower terminal. The crew members standing next to the ship's side threw huge ropes up to the terminal. The staff of the airport terminal used hooks to
The rope smeared with tung oil was hung on the docking pile, and the airship was pulled forward. The floating airship successfully docked at the airport terminal.
Opposite the tower, there happened to be a magic airship filled with supplies ready to set sail. The crew on the airship looked here curiously, as if to see if there were any friends they knew on board the airship.
The captain raised the hovering position of the magic airship slightly, and the crew opened the hatch from the bottom of the ship and built a passage.
A slave trader jumped from the ship to the airport tower and negotiated with the staff on the tower.
At this time, the kobold slaves were strung together by ropes and stepped off the airship one by one. Their lives on the airship these days were not very good. They walked out of the bottom cabin of the airship, one by one with empty steps.
, some kobolds were swaying, as if they might fall at any time. When they heard the whistle of the whip thrown by the slave trader, their bodies kept shaking instinctively.
A slave trader walked quickly to Surdak, showed a flattering smile, and said to him: "Knight Surdak, can you also help us and send these kobold slaves off the airship, so that
It is also convenient for you to select those strong kobolds from these slaves..."
"I'm more than happy to help! But my people won't go into the hold." Surdak said to the slave trader.
Slave Trader: "Thank you so much!"
He looked at Andrew and Samira who were about to jump off the airship. He held Aphrodite's arm, supported her slender waist with one hand, and jumped directly onto the side of the ship, which was about three meters high from the airport terminal platform.
He fell down and landed steadily on the platform with the veiled Aphrodite.
Samira and Andrew jumped off right behind Surdak. Behind them was the ogre Gulitem. The three-meter-tall ogre jumped off the airship, and the entire terminal platform screamed.
A slight tremor.
Surdak walked along the winding stairs of the tower to the ground. He carefully observed these kobold slaves along the way. Indeed, as the slave traders said, these kobold slaves were not only mentally listless and physically weak, but also
Free from any diseases and health problems.
The thick brown hair on their bodies has not been bathed for too long, so the hair is stuck together and formed into dark hard scabs, just like the scales covering their bodies. They are full of stench and everyone tries to get close to them.
Everyone had to twist their noses, and their pupils showed a kind of blue-gray. Maybe they had been locked up for too long, their eyes looked a little dull, and their expressions were numb. Only when they saw the whips and iron hooks of the slave traders would they become angry.
some reactions.
After disembarking from the ship, the slave trader applied for an open space from the management of the airport terminal, and all the kobold slaves were driven to this open space.
Surdak roughly counted these kobold slaves and found that there were nearly a thousand kobold slaves on the ship, and they were all crowded into ten cabins in the bottom of the ship.
The slave trader had promised Surdak that when the airship arrived in the city of Hiranza, Surdak could randomly select the healthiest kobolds among these kobold slaves, so even though these kobolds exuded a stench,
Surdak still endured the discomfort and walked into the group of slaves to select the strongest kobold.
Surdak thought that the remaining kobold slaves would be sent to other places, but he did not expect that all the kobolds on the ship actually got off the airship.
The captain and crew of the magic airship did not disembark.
When Surdak got off the boat, the captain waved to him and said goodbye to him with a smile.
When more than a thousand kobold slaves had all disembarked from the ship, Da Jinxi's assistant gave Suldak an autographed letter from Da Jinxi, and then boarded the magic ship with several slave traders without looking back.
airship.
While Surdak was still reading the letter, the magic airship flew away from the airport terminal at the fastest speed.
This airship was not replenished at the Helensa Airport Terminal. As the flotation device on the airship was operating at full speed, it continued to climb high into the sky and gradually disappeared into the blue sky.
The letter Da Jinxi left for Suldak:
…
‘Dear Knight Surdak:
I believe that by the time you read this letter, my men have already left Hiranza City and headed for their next destination.
I promise you that I will give you the two hundred strongest kobold slaves. However, the selection process seems a bit cumbersome, so this time please select them yourself.
You can definitely choose the one you like among these more than a thousand kobold slaves. Since the warehouse in Bena City is used for other purposes, we have no place to house the remaining kobold slaves. Therefore, please handle the remaining kobold slaves on your behalf.
You can do whatever you want with it, sell it or throw it away. In short, I decided to throw away all the remaining kobold slaves. If it brings you some unnecessary trouble, please forgive me.
Of course, what I most want to see is that this kobold is a small gift that is not worth mentioning, and can be added to your team of kobold slaves.
Ferdinand.\nYours sincerely, Kinsey’
…
Seeing a pile of nearly a thousand kobolds gathered in front of him, Suldak realized that what was in front of him turned out to be a big problem. As a knight of the guard camp of Helensa City, he certainly could not leave eight hundred kobolds here.
At that time, the security chaos at the airport terminal will be caused, and the one responsible for the end will be the Hellanza Guard Battalion.
It's just that he is only a knight after all, and the fief he owns is only a small knight's territory. It is really a big problem for Surdak to feed these more than a thousand kobold slaves.
Even the slave trader Da Jinxi failed to sell these kobolds, and Surdak didn't think he could sell them all.
Looking at the densely packed kobolds in the field, Suldak regretted letting those slave traders go so easily just now...
Andrew and Samira stood next to Suldak. Andrew saw clearly the contents of the letter in Surdak's hand, and asked Suldak:
"Captain, what should we do?"
Suldak rubbed his forehead vigorously and ordered Andrew: "You guys stay here, I will go to the carriage house to rent some carriages and transport them out of the city first."
"oh……"
Andrew agreed.
The ogre standing aside once again fell into the crowd of people around him, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. Taking the magic airship kept the ogre in a state of nervousness. He didn't even have a good meal along the way. Now he
Touching his shriveled belly, he fully expected that Surdak had promised that after arriving in the city of Helensa, he would have a delicious meal at the most famous barbecue restaurant in Helensa...
The succubus Aphrodite stood at the door of the airport terminal, watching the flow of people coming and going at the airport terminal...
She closed her eyes and opened her arms, as if she wanted to embrace the earth.
