"You have to do it even if it doesn't work! Five gold coins a year and thirty silver coins every month. I spent money!"
Late at night, Reggie forced Natalie to get on the hot air balloon. The moment the hot air balloon left the ground, Natalie let out a shrill wail.
"Help! Sir! I know I was wrong! Please forgive me!"
Natalie's begging made no sense. Reggie forced her to do so much training just to wait for this day to come.
He wants to use her ability to control the flight direction of the hot air balloon, so that the hot air balloon is no longer restricted by ropes and wind directions, and can be launched into the battlefield at any time.
This time, Reggie chose the take-off location at Bachelot's estate, while Calaf stayed on the ground as a ground crew member to cooperate with Reggie in completing the entire experiment.
Under the influence of the charcoal fire, the hot air balloon continued to rise, and the rope slowly came to the end.
Reggie comforted Natalie, who was shivering, and said in as gentle a tone as possible: "Good girl, my life is now in your hands. You stand up first and look down."
"No, don't..."
"Well, looking down is indeed a bit challenging. You first take a look into the distance, just one look."
After Reggie's repeated persuasion, Natalie finally stood up. She grabbed the edge of the hanging basket and carefully looked into the distance.
It was not a clear night, dark clouds covered the moonlight, and the night sky was dark, but even so, the scenery in front of her still shocked Natalie.
The end of the line of sight seems to be the end of the sky, and the clouds floating in the sky seem to be within reach.
She tried to take a look under the hanging basket, and after a period of severe dizziness, she saw the whole of Shattered Snow City.
Natalie has never left Broken Snow City since she was a child. Now the entire Broken Snow City is at her feet. She can see the stone tower in the center of the city. She can also see the gunpowder processing plant. She can see Broken Snow City.
Everything, every place she went, she could even see her own home, a large area of ​​dilapidated low-rise houses, her home was there.
"I'm flying, right sir?"
"Yes, you are flying." Reggie saw Natalie's smile.
"What do you want me to do, my lord?"
"Good girl, try to fly a little east."
"What should I do?"
"We need wind blowing from the east, not too much, just a little bit, just a little bit."
Reggie was a little worried. Today's wind was blowing from the north. He was worried that Natalie might use too much force and cause the balloon to capsize.
But this time Natalie controlled it very well. A breeze blew from the east and the balloon slowly flew to the northeast.
"Slower, slower, first try to offset the original wind direction, and then fly towards the east."
Natalie took a deep breath, carefully feeling the changes in the airflow.
She did it, she offset the original north wind, and then let the balloon fly slowly in the direction due east.
"Very good! Try to make the balloon fly a little further west."
Reggie asked Natalie to adjust the direction frequently. When he was sure that Natalie could control the balloon freely, Reggie sent out a signal and asked Calaf to untie the rope tied to the wooden stake.
The unfettered balloon shook a little, and Reggie was very scared. This crazy move might kill two people at any time.
But Natalie didn't panic. She calmly created a ball of air, like a pair of gentle hands, holding the balloon from bottom to top, and slowly stabilized the balloon.
"Great job!" Reggie trembled with excitement, "Now let's fly east and go to the beach to have a look."
Along the way, Natalie looked very relaxed. Compared with creating strong winds, using the gentle breeze to push the balloon forward did not consume much of her energy.
Walking in a straight line in the air was much faster than a carriage on the ground. In less than an hour, the balloon had flown over the coast.
"Are we going to fly to the end of the ocean? My Lord!" Natalie said excitedly.
"No, no, of course not," Reggie pointed to the south, "Now we are flying south, and I want to inspect the territory."
"Yes! Sir!" The wind direction turned sharply, Reggie almost fell down, and the turbulent waves under his feet made Natalie lose control of her emotions.
This girl seems to be overly excited.
"Listen to me, it's still the same as before, slower and more steady."
"Sir, I have never felt like this before!"
"I know it would feel better if you were willing to slow down!"
"Sir, I want to take you to fly above the clouds!"
"I don't think it's necessary!"
"Sir, I can really do it!"
"I don't think it's really necessary!"
A hurricane struck, and the balloon rose rapidly and disappeared into the night sky in an instant.
A few minutes later, the balloon descended back to a suitable altitude and flew slowly south.
"Sir! Did I do well?" Natalie hugged Reggie excitedly.
Reggie grabbed the edge of the hanging basket, vomited for a while, and murmured: "Wait to be whipped, you damn girl!"
"What did you just say?"
"I mean... you did a great job, good girl."
The balloon slowly flew over the pier, and the warships of the Golden Eagle Kingdom were still neatly arranged on the sea. The lights on the ship were brightly lit. They seemed to be celebrating something. Is it to celebrate the capture of Shattered Snow City? Viscount Mitocton, are you really
Is it that easy to cheat?
The balloon kept flying south until it approached the border of the territory, and Reggie finally discovered something unusual.
Several small boats were sailing to the shore, and several other boats had already docked. There was a group of people standing darkly on the shore. Judging by visual inspection, the number of people was at least four to five hundred.
Small boats docked one after another, and small boats returned to the fleet one after another. Each small boat could carry at most a dozen people, and they used this slow method to transport the soldiers to the shore.
"It seems that the friends who came from afar are not so peaceful." Reggie showed a sly smile, and Natalie beside him said: "Are we going to fight them, sir?"
There are white phosphorus bombs in the gondola. Just drop one and it will make the soldiers of the Golden Eagle Country doubt their lives.
But Reggie didn't intend to do this. He didn't want to scare his friends in the Golden Eagle Country yet, and he didn't want them to drive the ship away.
"Return immediately."
Following Reggie's order, Natalie returned the balloon to the starting point. Natalie's control was very precise, and the balloon stopped impartially over the manor.
Reggie pulled the rope, extinguished the charcoal stove, and the balloon, which had lost its heat source, began to slowly descend.
When the balloon lowered to a certain height, Reggie dropped the rope. Calaf, who was waiting on the ground, picked up the rope and pulled the balloon down with the help of the guards.
The excited Natalie still couldn't calm down. She took Reggie's hand and said, "Sir, we can fly again. Please allow me to fly with you again."
"Of course, you can take off immediately, but not with me," Reggie called Taylor and whispered in his ear, "A group of soldiers from the Golden Eagle Kingdom have come to our territory. You follow Natalie in the balloon.
, to track their movements, remember, you are just tracking, not fighting them."
"Sir, please tell me the location of that group of soldiers. I will definitely be able to complete the mission. I... don't like that thing very much."
Thiel didn't want to ride in a hot air balloon, which surprised Reggie.
"What's the matter my man, are you scared?"
Natalie said excitedly: "Don't be afraid, it's not scary at all, really!"
"I'm talking to the lord!" Tyr's attitude was a bit bad. His attitude towards Natalie has never been very good. "Sir, I don't need this thing. Please tell me the location of the enemy."
Batchelor said: "Following a group of soldiers is not the same as following a specific person. I advise you to listen..."
"Sorry, Grand Maester!" Tyr interrupted Bachelot rudely, "I only obey the orders of the lord. Sir, please tell me the location of the enemy."
