Chapter 507 508. Setting Sail 2

When the magic airship entered the Partington plane through the portal, the huge ship floated in the air and slowly passed through the mirror-like gate. The strong sense of oppression made the half-blood elves around the central square hold their breath at the same time. Everyone stared at the behemoth in front of them, as if it appeared out of thin air.

The next moment, cheers like a tsunami came from all around the central square.

Then the magic airship completely drilled out of the portal and hung in the air 30 meters above the ground of the central square.

The whole airship even had a strong smell of the sea, and there were clear traces of corrosion by sea water on the outside of the hull.

Roy stood on the bronze ram horns on the bow of the ship. A group of portal guards saluted when they saw Roy. It seemed that some of the half-blood elves around the central square also recognized Roy standing on the bow.

I don’t know who shouted "Boss Roy" first, and then the call kept getting louder.

When all the half-blood elves around the square called out this name, the sound waves surprised the old dwarf Mags standing on the driving console.

He didn't expect that such a young half-elf could have such a high popularity in the main city of the elves in a plane.

Four dwarf apprentices were leading the half-blood elf warriors to control the angle of the sails, so that the magic airship was suspended in place.

The magic airship rose to a height of 200 meters from the central square and stopped.

In the Partington plane, only the vast forest around Padstow, the sea of ​​trees formed by this forest seemed to have no edge at a glance.

And the city of Padstow is the center of the entire forest. There are densely packed tree houses on the big trees here. The whole hillside forest is like this, and it looks very large.

I didn't expect that I would enter an elf city just after coming out of the portal, and it was also a gathering place for half-blood elves.

The old dwarf Mags standing in front of the steering wheel of the control panel even had some fantasies at this time. If I could open a hotel in this city full of tree houses, it would be great if there was a small wine house under the hotel.

At my age, sleeping in a tree hole should be more comfortable than in a cellar...

...

The magic airship stayed in the sky over the central square for two quarters of an hour before flying towards the airport terminal under construction outside Padstow.

This magic airship will not stop in Padstow. This time it will fly to the unfinished airport terminal, and it will also use the real data of the hull to come to the airport for comparison, so as to avoid the airport being unable to accommodate this magic airship.

Although the airport terminal of Padstow is located on the edge of the city.

The airport terminal was transformed from a giant oak tree, but it has not yet been completed. The platform and internal stairs for docking the magic airship are still being transformed.

With the help of the propulsion device, the magic airship took more than an hour to cross half of Padstow City.

This giant oak tree, more than 100 meters high, is definitely a standout in this forest. The entire canopy is almost completely separated from the sea of ​​trees, like a huge green umbrella sticking out of a green meadow.

When the magic airship approached, a group of half-blood elf craftsmen were repairing a horizontal branch.

They hung the trimmed branches to the ground with ropes, covered this horizontal branch, which could almost be called a bridge, with a thick layer of oak boards, and added fence handrails on both sides of the oak boards.

The passage of this oak board was laid all the way to the end of the horizontal branch, and there was a very neat cut surface at the end of the horizontal branch.

This is the docking point of the magic airship...

"Ah, is this the airport terminal that is about to be completed?" The half-blood elf warrior on the ship looked at the giant tree in front of him and said in surprise.

In fact, Roy was also a little surprised because it was his first time here.

Before, he had only heard from Captain Berkeley that he had chosen a giant tree on the outskirts of the city that could be transformed into a tower.

But Roy had never thought that this giant oak tree would be so tall...

"This tree is really big. The place where we dock is just one of the horizontal branches."

"The only inconvenience is that this is the outskirts of Padstow."

Although the docking point on the terminal has been built, no shock absorption and anti-collision equipment has been installed for the time being.

The magic airship did not dare to approach it at all.

Because even if it is the slowest translation, the impact force of the magic airship is still very terrifying at the moment of contact with the terminal.

The old dwarf Maggs talked to the half-blood elves around him. These half-blood elves will soon be responsible for driving the magic airship, so the old dwarf Maggs is currently conducting intensive training:

"An excellent captain needs to be able to clearly judge whether this magic airship converted from a three-masted sailing ship will cause damage to the magic airship if it slowly approaches. If the preparations for berthing are not done well, once this side of the ship approaches, it may cause slight cracks, and even more seriously, the entire hull may be smashed."

"If it is a larger airship, you have to be more careful. Generally, you only need to hover at a close distance. Since the giant ship has better stability in the air, you can put a sampan on the ship and connect it to the tower."

A half-blood elf student asked: "Teacher Maggs, should we stop over?"

The old dwarf Mags quickly waved his hand and said: "Forget it this time. The purpose of our coming here was to see if the reserved space on the tower was enough to park this magic airship. Now it seems that I am just worrying too much." Well, there is no need to consider the docking space of the magic airship in this natural airport.”

"If there is no problem here, we will go to an apple orchard on the outskirts of here." The mixed-blood elf student displayed the map in his hand and pointed to a location outside Padstow City and whispered.

"Our magic airship only has two propulsion devices. It is currently in the trial stage. There is nothing to say about flying like this. Normally, try not to use the propulsion device as the main power to fly. Our flight route is between the two airport terminals. time, after leaving the tower, ascend directly to the height of the wind layer as much as possible, then fill the sails, and sail with the help of wind in the wind layer until you reach the destination, then land at the airport terminal. Try not to do such short-distance flights in normal times. It will consume a lot of magic crystals," the old dwarf Mags explained patiently.

The mixed-blood elf student couldn't help but ask: "Teacher Mags, can this magic airship fly into the high-altitude wind layer?"

"It's totally fine."

The old dwarf Mags assured him, patting his chest.

Then Mags began to introduce to several mixed-blood elf students how to quickly ascend the magic airship into the wind layer, how to deal with various unexpected problems encountered during the ascent, etc...

This group of mixed-blood elf students have not yet experienced sailing in the wind flow layer. Although the old dwarf Mags has been explaining how to enter the wind flow layer and how to escape from the wind flow layer, for them, this kind of paper talk has no memory at all.

However, these mixed-blood elf students are serious and eager to learn, and they will take notes meticulously.

After the magic airship flew slowly to the apple orchard on the outskirts of the city, it hovered over the woodland.

Roy and the old dwarf Mags used the hanging basket to get off the magic airship. A carriage was waiting in the orchard. When the mixed-blood elf coachman saw Roy and the old dwarf Mags approaching, he quickly jumped out of the carriage and opened the carriage. Door.

Roy took the old dwarf Mags into the carriage and let the carriage take them away from the apple orchard...

The carriage was racing along the forest road, and the trees outside the carriage window kept sliding back.

"Can your four students control this magical airship?"

Roy was sitting in the carriage and couldn't help but ask the old dwarf Mags.

"Yes, each of them has independent sailing experience."

"However, controlling a magic airship to sail at high altitudes requires more than just an excellent captain. It also requires a group of experienced sailors. Once it enters the wind layer, adjusting the sail angle is not a simple matter. matter."

The old dwarf Mags sat opposite Roy and muttered.

"I hope that through this voyage, these elf students will grow up quickly."

This time the old dwarf Mags got off the magic airship in the apple orchard in order to rush back to Partington Island to preside over the magic airship renovation project there.

Accompanied by Roy, the old dwarf Mags successfully returned to Partington Island through the portal.

Mags left the four dwarf apprentices around him on the magic airship. For the next part of the voyage, these four dwarves will explain how to sail at high altitudes...

Roy returns alone to the apple orchard on the outskirts of Padstow.

Rambo was already in charge of shipping supplies in the apple orchard. Mountains of wooden boxes were filled with elf biscuits and dried fish, and there were also a large number of apples and breadfruit waiting to be shipped.

Dozens of mixed-blood elf warriors stood on both sides of the ship, hanging ropes one after another, using the cranes they wore to hoist the supplies up, and then moved them into the cabin.

Rambo looked at the huge thing floating in the air and said to Roy excitedly:

"Is this the magic airship you modified on Partington Island?"

"Well, when the route between Padstow City and Plateau City is opened in the future, most of the supplies can be transported by magic airship." Roy replied.

"Is this the power of goblin technology?" Lambo rubbed his sore neck, still refusing to take back his gaze...

"Now it can also be said to be dwarven technology. The main aerodynamic device and propulsion device on this magic airship come from the dwarven kingdom!"

"With this big guy transporting supplies, it will be much more convenient in the future." Lambo sighed.

Roy on the side shook his head and whispered: "Transporting supplies is only one of its abilities. This time I also ordered forty ship-mounted magic cannons from the Imperial Business Group. Once they are installed on the magic airship , it will become a war fortress. When that group of murlocs wants to leave Sun Island Bay, it will depend on whether I am willing or not."

Lambo looked at Roy with wide eyes, thinking about such a huge ship floating in the air, constantly bombarding an island, and he felt a little shuddering just thinking about it.

"Prepare more elf biscuits and other food here in the warehouse. Now the demand for food in Plateau City is constantly increasing. Before Sun Island Bay is recaptured, this demand will continue to increase, so from Padstow City The materials shipped here to the Pagisto Plateau are still mainly food and living materials.”

Roy explained to Rambo.

As the person in charge of Padstow City's material transfer station, Lambeau needs to be responsible for part of the material procurement work.

"Don't worry, leave everything to me."

Lambeau put on an air of being relieved that I am here for you.

Since the floating device on the magic airship was always in operation, the magic airship would burn more magic crystals for every day it stayed, so Roy did not stay in the apple orchard outside the city of Padstow for a long time.

When the magic airship was fully loaded with supplies and the twelve floating devices were all in operation, the magic airship could be held steadily...

Roy gave the order to the four dwarf apprentices on the ship to set sail.

The floating device on the magic airship was fully opened, and the magic light almost overflowed outside the magic pattern array. At this time, the magic airship began to slowly rise into the air.

In the captain's room of the ship, Roy smiled and asked the dwarf apprentice who was holding the steering wheel steadily:

"In the dwarf country, are there magic airships between almost every city?"

Roy's words immediately attracted the attention of the mixed-blood elf students around him, and everyone's eyes fell on the dwarf apprentice.

The dwarf apprentice smiled innocently. He was probably very young. Only the beard above his lips was braided, and his chin was still bald, which looked very funny.

However, this dwarf apprentice had a gentle personality and liked to talk.

"In fact, this kind of magic airship is rare in our area..."

Roy was slightly startled by the dwarf apprentice's answer. After all, it was a production base for floating devices. How could there be no magic airships there?

"Why?" Roy couldn't help asking.

The dwarf apprentice talked freely:

"The main reason is that our cities don't need it very much. Our cities are on the mineral veins, and they are almost all semi-underground cities. There are mineral veins connecting these cities, and many of the mineral veins have been dug through by us. In fact, underground rail trains are more convenient than this kind of magic airship, but the construction cost is very high, and underground operations have a little threshold for construction teams. It seems that only the dwarf country has underground rail trains."

"As for magic airships, you will know how much magic crystals this kind of transportation consumes in the future, and the biggest problem restricting magic airships is air supremacy!"

"Thunderbirds often appear in our place. As long as they are targeted by that kind of fourth-level magic beast, as long as it releases a lightning in the air, it can shoot down a magic airship... So we don't have an airport terminal, and there are no magic airships."

"The place where magic airships are really popular is the Green Empire. There are airport terminals in every city there, and their routes almost weave a network across the entire empire..."

Roy listened carefully.

The dwarf apprentice told a world that was completely different from the Elf Continent, which made Roy very interested...
