Chapter 213 050: Floating Island
"Like...like."
Rosie took over the conversation: "Nouveau riche."
Richard nodded: "Yes, a very vivid evaluation, they are nouveau riche, but nouveau riche in the wizard world."
Strictly speaking, the Best family is indeed the nouveau riche among the many wizard families in the South Coast Wizardry.
Because compared with other wizard families, their family's inheritance time is the shortest. It seems that it has been less than three thousand years since its establishment.
Three thousand years is definitely an ancient inheritance in the human world, but it is very common in the wizard world.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
At this moment, a crisp bell sounded.
Rosie raised his eyebrows: "Is this an alarm? Is there something dangerous going to happen?"
Such a bell sound is a common alarm sound on the airship. It is usually issued when there is danger, but the sound is not cramped, which means that the level of danger is not high. The meaning is basically to notify the crew to be careful and return to the cabin. There should be alchemy puppets and transformation knights to clear the scene later.
Richard said, "We are about to pass the area of the floating island fragments. There will be harpies in these places. The Voyage will ask us to be careful as usual."
Roshi was surprised and said, "Harpies?"
He had read in a book that this is a magical creature that lives in the air. Its strength is at the level of middle and high wizards. Some powerful individuals can even grow to the level of sages.
Richard asked, "How is it? Are you interested?"
Roshi said hesitantly, "I do want to see it."
Harpies belong to the creatures of the sky world. It is difficult to see them on land.
"But this alarm bell tells us to return to the cabin"
In the distance, we can see the alchemy puppets and the transformation knights driving the passengers on the airship everywhere, and the passengers who originally gathered in the viewing restaurant have also returned to the cabin one after another.
Richard glanced over there and said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? When we were young, our parents told us to go back to bed after dark. Does everyone have to be a good kid? Some rules can be violated, right?"
He doesn't look like an honest guy either.
Richard then urged, "Let's go to the observation deck at the stern. I know there is an independent area there. The patrolling alchemy puppets and transformation knights will not go there. We can stay there and watch carefully."
Okay.
Luo Xi admitted that Richard persuaded him.
He was not a person who would waste time. He glanced back and nodded and said cheerfully, "Then we have to hurry up. Those iron lumps and modified people are coming."
Following Richard through the deck and walking towards the stern, the two soon came to the observation deck at the stern. There was a utility room next to the observation deck, which was piled with wooden barrels, brooms and other messy sundries. After moving all these sundries away, a hidden small door appeared at the back. After coming out of this small door, there was a staircase outside. After climbing up the stairs, there was a hidden observation deck here.
Climbing up the stairs, Luo Xi asked Richard, who was leading the way skillfully, in surprise: "How did you know this place?"
This route, which is like a maze, can't be found casually while strolling around, right?
Richard said: "This ship was built by my family."
Luo Xi: "."
Okay, is this the hidden power of the rich second generation? I've learned a lesson, I've learned a lesson...
There are several chairs scattered next to this observation deck. Luo Xi and Richard pulled two chairs over and sat down to watch.
The clouds rolled slowly, and the airship broke through layer after layer of clouds and slowly flew forward. The roar of the propeller kept rotating and echoed in the sky at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
After flying forward for a few minutes, there was finally a different scene behind the clouds in front. That was.
Green.
The first thing that came into view was the green trees, the tall trunks, the green leaves and the vines wrapped around the trunks, which appeared very abrupt at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
And when they got closer, the green in front quickly spread out around, which looked like a forest.
Rows of trees, green grass, birdsong and flowers, quiet and peaceful.
The field of vision continued to expand, and more scenery appeared outside the forest, including mountains, rivers, lakes, etc.
When he got closer, Luo Xi finally saw the whole scene in front of him. It was an island, an island floating in the air.
It was like a piece of land was forcibly pulled up from the ground and floated in the air. It was very spectacular.
Richard said: "This is the floating island."
Luo Xi raised his eyebrows and observed the island in front of him with concentration.
Floating islands are an important part of the sky world. Like the creatures in the sky world, they also have a unique organ called "floating", which allows them to float in the air for a long time and cannot descend to the ground.
They are land, but not land. Strictly speaking, they are land in the sky.
Some of the atmospheric creatures living in the air world will occasionally come to these places to live. Because they have the same floating ability as atmospheric creatures, these atmospheric creatures will not be affected when they fall on such air land.
Therefore, there are also some ecological cycles here. For example, the harpies like to build nests in such places.
"Boom!"
The roar of the propeller continued to sound, and the airship flew very fast, passing through this floating island in just a few minutes.
However, after this floating island, several more floating islands appeared in front, up, down, left, and right, and there were such islands all around. It was like an airspace composed of islands, some of which were several kilometers long, some were hundreds of meters long, and even some were large stones with a diameter of several meters.
"There are so many floating islands!"
Richard said, "Floating islands are not rare in the sky world. They are just like the atmospheric creatures here. They can be seen everywhere, but they usually float tens of thousands of meters in the sky and we can't see them."
Luo Xi asked curiously, "Which floating island will the sky city be in?"
The sky city is part of the ancient wizard dynasty Xigrama. At that time, it was a powerful wizard organization with a status comparable to the top wizard organizations such as Fran today.
However, after the war ended, the sky city was submerged in the long river of history with the collapse of the Xigrama dynasty.
"Who knows."
Richard looked at the island in front and said, "These islands have been searched by people. If it is really that easy to find, it would not have troubled our wizard world for so long."
