Chapter 329 Elf
The body structure of the "Jortunheim Eagles" is different from that of humans.
Like doves, hawks are born with the ability to navigate and can be keenly aware of the direction of the geomagnetic field, and they will never get lost no matter in day or night.
After Joan transformed into an Eagleman, he also acquired this magical talent for navigation. He first ascended to a thousand yards altitude, then turned around and flew southwest.
Delin Town is located in the southwest of Layton Port. If you walk by land, you have to go through the dense virgin jungle on the way.
Business travel between the two places, in order to avoid getting lost in the depths of the Yalf forest, usually choose such a route:
Starting from the Port of Layton, walk west along the bank of the Ivene River after leaving the city gate, until you reach the watershed between the Ivene River and its tributary, the Delin River; The valley plain where it is located.
If you look at this route from the map, it is not difficult to find that you are actually taking a "ㄏ"-shaped broken line, which takes a lot of long detours. In addition, the road conditions are not good due to the bushes on the way, and it will take half an hour to ride a horse. months to reach the destination.
Not to mention that there are many wild beasts, goblins, and monsters in the jungle, and the probability of being attacked is quite high, so few merchants dare to go alone.
When Joan set off from Delin Town to report to Leiden College, he had walked this road and had a personal experience of the many hardships and dangers during the journey, and he still feels a little scared in retrospect.
Fortunately, today is not what it used to be. You don't need to think about the road conditions when you become a hawk, and you can just fly over the vast jungle.
Joan's "transformation" can last for 30 minutes, and in the current sunny and sunny weather, it doesn't take much effort to reach a speed of 60 miles per hour.
The straight-line distance between Layton Port and Delin Town is about a hundred miles. According to Joan's current flight speed, the whole journey will take about two hours.
Through simple calculations, it can be known that it only needs to perform the "Transformation" four times in a row to fly back to the hometown from school within one day.
Joan spread his wide wings and glides calmly at high altitude with the support of the updraft. He feels like a light balloon, and he can sail forward under the push of the wind without any effort.
Recalling that when he returned to Delin Town from the Algonquin Valley, he also took the giant crow summoned by Kanti's father to fly in the wind. good.
While flying, Qiao An enjoys the scenery along the way leisurely.
When traveling on the ground in the past, the field of vision was blocked by jungles and mountains. I only felt that the road ahead was long and dangerous, and I had to be wary of wild beast attacks. How could I be in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the way?
At this moment, I am in the sky, with the boundless blue sky above my head, and only white clouds around me. Occasionally, a bird flies by. When I see him from a distance, I turn my head and run away in fright.
Joan is like the master of this clear sky, so he doesn't need to worry about threats from the ground.
The land covered with jungles, like a verdant scroll, slowly unfolded before his eyes.
The gurgling Ivene River and the Delin River reflect the summer sun and form a crystal jade belt passing through the jungle, extending towards the end of the horizon.
After flying in the air for half an hour, Joan realized that the magic power of the "transformation technique" was about to run out, so he consumed a "power of myth" to extend the transformation state for 30 minutes.
As long as the "mythical power" has not been exhausted, he can maintain the eagle man's posture and keep flying.
Another half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and Joann's journey was already halfway through, but he still didn't feel tired at all. He had to admire the Jotunheim Eagles' excellent talent for long-distance flying. inferior.
Joan drove the "Power of Myth" again to provide the energy needed for the restart of the "Transformation Technique". He unintentionally tapped down, and a ball of orange-red light flashed in front of his eyes, which immediately attracted his attention.
Joan retracted his wings and swooped down, quickly lowering his flight altitude. His sharp eagle eyes stared at the forest below, and soon caught the flickering light again.
This time, Joan can be sure that it is not a naturally formed light source, but a radiance created by magic, which looks a lot like the 0-ring trick "Dancing Lights".
Who is casting the spell in the jungle?
Joan naturally had doubts.
After quickly observing the nearby terrain, the splashing waterfall in the northern canyon became more and more familiar.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, Joan finally remembered that it was the "Big Snake Waterfall", the location of the lair of "Snake Dragon Girl".
The magic radiance is less than five miles away from the "Orochi Falls" by visual inspection.
If he remembers correctly, the nearby forest is the place where the mythical goblin "Sid Liyanan" lives in seclusion - "Fairy Spring".
"Couldn't it be Liyanan who released the dancing light technique in the dense forest..." Joan murmured.
When he was traveling through the jungle, he passed by Fairy Spring and Orochi Waterfall successively, and the hostesses of the two places treated him very differently.
The snake dragon girl first tried to seduce him by pretending to be a girl in trouble, but because he refused to take the bait, she simply showed her half-dragon, half-human hideous face and chased him down. If Liyanan hadn't rescued him in time, he would have been dead long ago.
Later, thanks to Liyanan's spell, which teleported him directly outside the gate of Leiden Harbor, he was able to report to Leiden Academy in time.
Recalling the brief relationship with Liyanan, Qiao An is still grateful to this beautiful and kind fairy lady.
Anyway, there is still plenty of time, since we are passing by her hermitage, why not drop by to visit this old friend.
Thinking of this, Joan continued to lower the flying altitude, and his body almost touched the crown of the tree.
At this time, orange light flashed again in the forest, like a signal light, which was on and off.
Joan became more and more curious as he watched, so he flew towards the shining place.
Not long after, I saw the source of that strange brilliance, which was actually a small creature with a glowing body!
This light and small creature is only half a foot tall, with pointed ears and a delicate appearance. It wears a short skirt made of flowers and leaves. Between the flowers and leaves, white and tender skin and small hands and feet like toothpicks are faintly visible. Two pairs of translucent hands and feet are opened behind The membranous wings look like a little elf girl with dragonfly wings.
Joan had seen an illustration of this creature in the "Vales Monster Illustrated Book" before, and recognized it as a female "goblin" at a glance.
Goblins are the most petite of all fey creatures. Most of them live in the deep forests and regard themselves as the guardians of the local natural environment.
These goblins are not only small and beautiful in appearance, but also kind and courageous in character. Often, it will fly to the lost travelers on its own initiative, illuminate the lost people with its own faint light, and guide them to avoid the beasts lurking in the dark, until they escort the other party out of the maze-like jungle with many divergent paths, and then fly away with confidence.
