Chapter five hundred and ninety third chat
For the passengers who boarded the ship, they may have been worried and scared at first, but as the airship flew into the air and flew forward, excitement and curiosity immediately replaced the previous emotions. They were in their respective cabins
All of them chose to lie on the glass window and grasp outwards.
However, after they looked outside, everyone had different adverse effects. Most of them had weak hands and feet due to the height, and it was difficult to walk, while some people felt as if they were motion sick on a train.
Dizzy, nauseous and uncomfortable, I found a wooden bucket that had been prepared on the ship and vomited out everything I had eaten from last night to this morning. Then I fell on the bed with a pale face. Apart from humming twice from time to time, I just
As if dead.
The staff on the airship had long known that this would happen, and went from cabin to cabin to sell a concoction that could relieve the adverse symptoms. Although the passengers on the ship were somewhat dissatisfied with this act of taking advantage of others, in the end they couldn't bear the pain.
The feeling, the concoction bought at a high price.
However, this concoction is indeed very effective. After drinking it, although the adverse reactions on their bodies have not completely disappeared, it has been weakened a lot, and at least it will not affect some of their normal activities.
"Don't you need some concoction?" The staff member who knocked on Leo's cabin door was a little surprised when he saw Leo in normal condition, but still asked as usual.
"No need." Leo shook his head, and then asked, "When will the deck open?"
"Sorry, because in the air, the wind is very strong. Without special training and special equipment, it is difficult for ordinary people to stay on the deck, so we generally do not open the deck to the public." The staff responded immediately and suggested: "
If you want to see the sky, you can go to our restaurant, where there are large windows where you can see the outside scenery, and there are also some games and books for guests to kill time."
Leo nodded, and under the guidance of the staff, he came to the restaurant located on the lower deck, which is also the entertainment room.
Because the passengers on the ship were still adapting to the high-altitude environment, there were only a few staff on the ship in the restaurant. They were all talking about how much money they made from selling the concoction. When Leo came in, they all lowered their voices.
Leo ignored these people, walked to the sofa near the window and sat down, picked up a book on the shelf next to him, and started reading.
Because they are for guests to read during their leisure time, the books on the bookshelf are not profound knowledge books. Most of them are some Dalyat folk myths and Dalyat scenery guides.
Although these books were all common in Dalyat, Leo read them with gusto. Although there were also books introducing Dalyat in the Kingdom of England, most of those books introduced other countries in the world of Velen.
Introducing Dalyat.
Just like the French Empire, the Kingdom of England, as the overlord of the sea, has mostly discriminatory impressions of Dalyat, and does not think that Dalyat is the only one among the three major kingdoms in the Minsk continent. The vast majority of British
The British people all believed that the Dyliad were a group of northern barbarians with no civilization at all. Therefore, in order to cater to these people, the publishing houses of the Kingdom of England included a large number of books that introduced the Dyliad with strong discrimination.
Sexual texts, as for substantive content, are extremely rare.
The books Leo is currently reading contain a large amount of records about Dalyat's past and present living conditions, geographical environment, etc., allowing him to understand Dalyat's situation more easily.
While Leo was reading, some pale passengers came to the restaurant one after another and bought some expensive and cheap drinks from the bartender, using the power of alcohol to suppress the nausea in their hearts.
Among these people is the husband of the businessman couple just now. He is in good health, and it seems that this is not the first time he has been on such a high-altitude airship, so he is better able to adapt to this kind of welcome than his bodyguards.
After having two glasses of wine, I quickly returned to normal.
At this time, he saw Leo reading a book leisurely next to the limited window. Under normal circumstances and other circumstances, Leo's state would not have attracted the attention of others, but his leisurely attitude now was too abnormal.
"Hello!" The businessman walked to the seat opposite Leo with great interest, sat down, and said hello.
Leo looked up at the businessman and nodded to him, but did not respond.
"Rayleigh Jon, a fur trader from Dalyat." The businessman was not at all embarrassed by Leo's indifference. Instead, he was as familiar with it as he introduced himself and extended his hands to Leo politely.
Take action.
Leo looked at the other person's hand, but did not reach out to shake it. Instead, he asked in a deep voice with a tone of rejection: "Is something wrong?"
As a successful businessman, Rayleigh Jon is very good at communication. He was not discouraged by Leo's attitude. Instead, he retracted his outstretched hand very gracefully, and then said with a smile: "In the next few days,
We will all be staying on this airship, and there is nothing else to do. If we don’t chat with each other and pass the time, I’m afraid it will be very sad.”
Leo ignored the other party.
The businessman looked at the book in Leo's hand again and said: "Are you traveling to Dalyat? If so, I suggest you go to Moss Lake. That is my hometown. It is the fishing season now.
, every day you can see thousands of fishing boats departing from the pier and going deep into the newly thawed Moss Glacier Lake to catch all kinds of fish. Once you see that kind of sight, you will never forget it.”
The other party's familiar behavior made Leo, who wanted to read quietly, feel a little unhappy. He closed the book in his hand, looked at the businessman sitting opposite who was always smiling, was silent for a moment, and said: "Although you
You are very proficient in the Dialytic language and can freely use the spoken language of the Dialytic Moss region, but the habits you have developed over many years of speaking still reveal your true accent. You are not a Mo from Dalyat.
Sir, you are a mountaineer from the Huel Mountains of the French Empire."
Leo's words made the businessman stunned. Although his expression was a little surprised, he quickly covered it up. He forced a smile on his face and said, "Have you misunderstood? I am the real Moss."
Man, how come you have become that Huel Mountain Man in Your Majesty’s mouth?”
"When you just said the words hometown, scenery, and fishing boat, you used retroflexed double syllables. Among the languages of Velen countries, only the Huel Mountain people are accustomed to using this pronunciation method when speaking.
This is also the best criterion for identifying the people of the Huel Mountains." Leo analyzed the other party's accent like a linguist. When the smile on the businessman's face gradually weakened, he added: "The Huel area
It is an area under the direct jurisdiction of the royal family of the French Empire, and the Huel Mountain people have always been the source of troops for the Royal Guard. In addition, the intelligence department of the French Empire selects the Huel Mountain people as intelligence personnel."
The smile on the businessman's face had completely disappeared at this moment. He looked at Leo with a pale face, as if he wanted to find something from Leo's appearance.
Leo continued: "You can adapt to the high-altitude environment of the airship so quickly. It can be seen that you have been on an airship before, and it was for a long time, so you must have a certain status in the Royal Guard of the French Empire, otherwise you would not be able to stay for a long time.
On the airship. But now you, an important figure in the Royal Guard, have become a businessman in Dalyat. The only possibility is that you were recruited by the intelligence department of the French Empire and became an intelligence agent lurking in Dalyat for a long time.
personnel."
"You..." The businessman pointed at Leo and was speechless for a moment. It was easy to see from his expression that his heart was filled with panic.
"You must have been a very important intelligence agent by pretending to be a native of Dalyat City and getting married and having children here. But this time you hurried back to Dalyat. If my prediction is correct, it should be for Dalyat's sake."
Regarding the metal trade negotiations," Leo continued expressionlessly: "However, you did not choose other safer channels to bypass the blockade, but chose this airship. I am afraid you also want to know the technical secrets of the airship.
, to see if it can be used on the airships of the French Empire. As far as I know, the airships of the French Empire have never left the surrounding areas of the Black Forest, which means that the airships of the French Empire will not be attacked by birds.
, it should be some agreement signed with the Black Forest, and now this airship obviously has the ability to fly freely in the sky, so..."
"You...who are you?" The businessman Rayleigh Jon couldn't help the horror in his heart, interrupted Leo's painting, and asked in a trembling voice.
"I'm just an ordinary person who wants to read a book, but was interrupted by a fool," Leo looked at the businessman and said, "Are you ready to continue chatting with me now?"
How dare the businessman continue to sit down now? Although he didn't know how Leo knew his identity, he was sure that if he continued to sit down, the secrets about him would be revealed bit by bit.
This situation of being seen through made him feel inexplicable fear.
The businessman sat up from the chair tremblingly, and then ran out of the restaurant in a hurry. The businessman's actions also attracted the attention of other people in the restaurant, and they all looked at Leo. They were all a little confused about what Leo had done.
What makes a man who can adapt to a high-altitude environment so quickly be so panicked.
Leo ignored the glances around him and picked up the book in his hand again to read.
Then throughout the day, the businessman did not appear in the restaurant again. He was obviously frightened by Leo.
During the day, in order to avoid too many people discovering the existence of the airship, the flight routes chosen by the airship are not over inhabited towns, but over mountains and wilderness where there are not many people.
While flying over these places, there were several times when a large number of birds flew out of the forest in the mountains below. They seemed to be attacking the airship, but when they were about to fly near the airship, they sprayed from the pipes around the airship.
Some gases were released, and these gases wrapped around the airship like mist. After encountering these gases, the menacing birds seemed to have encountered natural enemies, and flew back one after another, back into the woods, until
The airship flew far away and did not appear again.
When it was still some time before nightfall, the airship slowly landed in the sky above a castle square. The security guard on the ship climbed down from the rope ladder very skillfully, tied a rein to the stone pillar of the castle, and then climbed back to the airship.
superior.
After the airship was fixed over the castle, the staff on the ship also informed the passengers one by one, saying that the airship would dock here tonight.
The reason is not that flying at night is dangerous, but that after night arrives in the Minsk continent, the cold air from the north will move south. At this time, the airship will continue to fly north and will only go against the wind. Not only will the flight speed be slow, but it will also consume a lot of time.
There's also more fuel.
The passengers on the airship did not express much objection to this. For them, they were eager for the airship to stop temporarily, because after spending a whole day in the air, they could not wait to enjoy the feeling of being down to earth.
Therefore, at the request of the passengers, after a brief inspection of the safety around the castle, the security guards on the ship placed the passengers on the airship on the ground one by one, set up tents, lit bonfires, and allowed them to spend the night in the castle tonight.
The previous businessman named Rayleigh Jon did not get off the airship. He just asked his wife to go to the ground and asked the bodyguards to follow him, while he himself stayed on the ship, as if he was deliberately avoiding Leo, or as if he wanted to
Look for opportunities at night to explore the secrets of how airships disperse birds.
Leo also chose to return to the ground, not because he couldn't stand the unstable environment in the air, but because the castle below aroused his interest.
According to the staff on the ship, the castle below is one of the landing spots specially found for the airship by their organization. This castle was a very important military fortress during the kings of the ancient Maris Kingdom, but with the unification of the kingdom
, this military fortress lost its function and was abandoned. Only the name of this military fortress is retained in some old military archives, and the Small Fortress is the name of this fortress.
To ordinary people, this military fortress is just an abandoned fortress, but to Leo, this military fortress is extremely special because this fortress has been recorded in an ancient book that records the daily life of wizards.
Three tower wizards once fought here with an evil god named Justice, and completely killed Justice.
This record seems very contradictory, because it is admitted that justice cannot be related to evil, but if it is absolute justice, then for ordinary people, it is equivalent to absolute evil.
At that time, many knights who were bewitched by this evil god of justice carried out massacres on some ordinary villages, and the reason for the massacres turned out to be just because of minor problems in the daily behavior of the villagers here.
