Lord Helanza

The magic airship floats above the sea of ​​clouds.

After the airship entered the channel of the air layer last night, after a night of flight, it has already sailed out of the territory of the Newman family in Pena City. Now the light azure mountains at the foot belong to the territory of the Collins family. Wait a moment. You will see the city of Plush surrounded by two ridges.

The wind on the deck is very strong. Several crew members are raising the seventh horn sail on the bow. The difference between the magic airship and the sea ship is that these horn sails and spinnaker control the course of the airship and enter After the course, unless it encounters extreme weather, the airship will fly very smoothly for several days. During this period, the crew only need to make corrections to the airship's course according to the captain's instructions to allow the airship to sail normally.

These four people under Surdak are all riding in the magic airship for the first time, and they are very new to the magic airship. Except for Ogre Gullitm who was afraid of heights, hiding in the cabin and refusing to come out, the other three boarded the top deck of the magic airship, holding the railings and looking at the spectacular sea of ​​clouds.

Succubus Aphrodite looked towards the dazzling sun in the sky and asked Surdak curiously: "Captain, how far is Helanza from here?"

She learned from Samira and Andrew and called Surdak Captain.

Surdak pointed his finger to the up ahead of the airship and replied: "Fly in this direction. It will take at least six days to reach Helanza."

Aphrodite turned his head, Under the black veil, she squinted her eyes, with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, and said: "So far!" Fa, she leaned on the railing of the magic airship, quietly looking through the gaps in the clouds, looking at the pale green ground, the whole piece of deciduous forest sprouted with new buds, and the undulating hills covered with a blanket of tender green grass.

In the early spring of Pena Province, the fields of many farms have been leveled out. These fields and those that have not been turned over form two distinct colors.

Thick steam came out of the galley exhaust at the stern. The crew and slave vendors in the galley were very busy all day. For the vegetable porridge made of sweet potato and cabbage, the crew transported the vegetable porridge to the shaft at the stern side of the ship, and then hung a pot of potted choi porridge from the bottom of the airship along the shaft.

Surdak can’t understand how much the kobold slaves in the bottom compartment can eat, so that the crew and slave vendors can cook vegetable porridge in the kitchen all day.

Originally, Surdak planned to learn from these slave dealers about the life habits of the kobold slaves, but he asked a few questions in succession. The slave dealers always zhi zhi wu wu could not tell, only that these kobold slaves are very good Raise, you are willing to eat anything, and you can feed whatever you want. It also means that these kobold slaves are too lazy, and if they want them to work obediently, they have to wave their whip and whip them.

Surdak asked to look at the health of the two hundred kobold slaves in the cabin. This time the slave trafficker had no reason to push away, so he took the initiative to lead Surdak along the ladder into the bottom cabin.

The two slave dealers guarding the door of the bottom compartment pulled the iron door bolt open and slowly pushed the big iron door of the bottom compartment open. The slave dealer had already prepared to cover his mouth and nose with a scarf around his neck. , Surdak was about to walk into the bottom compartment, only to feel a stinky heat wave assaults the senses, that strong smell almost swept Surdak down.

The bottom of the airship is divided into ten independent hoppers. In the middle is a corridor from the bow to the stern. There are five hoppers on the left and right sides. Now it seems that the hoppers are even crowded in the corridors. It was full of kobold slaves, and when these kobold slaves saw that the door was suddenly opened, they were so frightened that they stepped back.

Surdak was also stunned by so many kobold slaves crowded together. He didn't expect so many kobolds to be packed in the lower cabin of less than 300 square meters. No wonder those slave traffickers actually After cooking porridge for a whole day, there are so many kobold slaves in the bottom compartment, and the food is indeed a little less.

The slave trader strode into the corridor of the bottom cabin, reached out and grabbed the ear of a kobold sitting in the corridor, and brutally dragged the kobold slave to At the door, look at his teeth, scratch his eyes, show the kobold's healthy physique, and finally explain to Surdak: "Surdak Knight, look at how healthy it is. When it comes to Helanza, there are so many kobold slaves, you can pick it away. Those who are the healthiest..."

That's what the slave dealers said, and they did.

……

After a full week of flying, at noon on the seventh day, the magic airship finally arrived in the territory of Helanza City.

The oak trees covering the mountains and plains in the mountains have begun to sprout, the mountains are full of green, and the sea of ​​clouds has a fault here. When it is about to reach the city of Helanza, the magic airship starts from Separated from the channel of the air layer.

In the field of vision, the mountain city became clearer and clearer. Surdak, Andrew, Samira, and Aphrodite were standing on the bow deck. Ogre has gradually adapted to the magic airship these days. Life, but he still didn't want to go to the side of the ship, holding the thickest mast in the middle of the airship, and hearing Surdak say that he was about to reach Helanza City, his face gradually showed joy.

Surdak pointed to the mountain town standing in the middle of the mountain in the distance, and introduced this small mountain town to everyone. Helanza is much smaller than Vojmara. The buildings in the city are built on the hillside. It is extremely compact, and every inch of space in the mountain city has been perfectly utilized. A bird’s eye view of Helanza city from a high altitude makes it feel like a three-dimensional exquisite sculpture.

"Are we going to live in this city in the future?" Aphrodite asked with a look of longing.

Surdak shrugged and said, "I might go to Desolate Land in the Paglos Mountains to serve as the sheriff over there. I won't stay here for long."

"This city is so beautiful!" Aphrodite exclaimed.

Surdak said: "If you want to stay here, I can arrange for you in advance..."

Aphrodite blinked her black eyes and said with a smile:" I'll follow you. On your site, it might be safer."

After she said, she pointed behind her and gestured to Surdak that her wing had been broken. It was a The succubus who had lost most of its power, but there was no frustrated expression on his face.

Returning to Helanza City again, there was an unforgettable emotion in my heart. Before Surdak sighed in my heart, a whistle made Surdak wake up from the mixed thoughts.

The airship glide slowly in the air, and the crew dropped all the sails on the airship. The magic airship relied on the magical power on the ship to move forward slowly, and the aerospace device emitted a buzzing rumbling sound, which was huge. The mast made a creak creak, and the sails on the mast were tied to the bottom horizontal mast by the crew.

The captain docked the magic airship on the high tower of the airport terminal of Helanza City, and steadily docked on the high tower terminal. The crew standing beside the ship's side threw a huge rope onto the terminal, the airport terminal The staff used hooks to hook the ropes coated with tung oil on the docking piles, and pulled the airship that was sliding forward, and the airship was successfully docked on the airport terminal.

On the opposite side of the tower, there was a magic airship full of supplies ready to set sail. The crew on the airship looked towards this side curiously, as if to see if there were any friends they knew on the airship.

The captain raised the hovering position of the magic airship slightly higher, and the crew opened the hatch from the bottom of the ship to build a passage.

A slave trafficker jumped from the ship to the tower of the airport and negotiated with the staff on the tower.

At this time, kobold slaves are strung together by ropes, and one after another walks down the airship. They have not lived very much on the airship these days. From the bottom of the airship Walking out, each footstep was vain, and some kobolds swayed, as if they might fall down at any time. Hearing the whistle of the slave dealer threw away, the body was constantly trembling instinctively.

A slave dealer walked quickly to Surdak's side with a complimentary smile, and said to him: "Surdak Knight, can you also help us and send these kobold slaves off the airship," This is also convenient for you to choose the strong kobolds from these slaves..."

"I am very happy to help! But my people will not go into the bottom compartment." Surdak said to the slave dealer.

Slave dealer: "Thank you so much!"

Looking at Andrew and Samira who were about to jump off the airship next to them, they held Aphrodite’s arm, Supporting her slender waist with one hand, she jumped down on the ship's gunwale about three meters high directly from the airport terminal platform, and Aphrodite with the veil steadily landed on the platform.

Samira and Andrew jumped right behind Surdak, and behind them was Ogre Gulitum. Ogre jumped from the airship over three meters high, and the entire terminal platform sent out There was a slight tremor.

Surdak walked along the spiral staircase of the tower to the ground. On the way, he was carefully observing the kobold slaves. Indeed, as the slave dealers said, these kobold slaves were not only mentally weak and physically weak. Besides, there are no diseases and health problems.

The thick brown and yellow hair on their bodies has not been bathed for too long, so the hairs are all stuck together, forming black and lacquered scabs, like scales covering their bodies, exuding them all over It smells bad. Everyone who tries to get close to them has to twist their noses. Their eye pupils are blue-gray. Maybe they have been locked for too long. Their eyes are a little dull and their expressions are numb. They only see the slave whip. With the iron hook, there will be some reactions.

After disembarking, the slave dealer applied to the airport terminal management for an open space, and all kobold slaves were driven to this open space.

Surdak roughly counted these kobold slaves, and found that there were nearly a thousand kobold slaves on this ship, and all of them were packed in the ten cabins of the bottom cabin.

The slave dealer once promised Surdak that when the airship arrives in Helanza City, Surdak can choose the healthiest kobold among these kobold slaves, so even though these kobolds are stinking all over, Surdak Still endure the discomfort, walk into the slave group to choose the strongest kobold.

Surdak thought that the remaining kobold slaves would be sent elsewhere, but didn't expect all the kobolds on the ship got off the airship.

The captain and crew of the magic airship did not disembark.

When Surdak disembarked, the captain also moved towards him, waving his hand, smiling and saying goodbye to him.

When more than a thousand kobold slaves all got off the boat, the assistant of Grand King West stuffed Surdak with a letter from Grand King West, and then several slave dealers did not look back. Boarded the magic airship.

While Surdak was still reading the letter, the magic airship flew out of the airport terminal at the fastest speed.

This airship did not replenish at the Helanza Airport Terminal. As the airship on the airship moved at full speed and continued to climb to the high altitude, it gradually disappeared into the blue sky.

Letterhead left by King West to Surdak:

……

'Dear Surdak Knight:

I believe you see At the time of this letter, my subordinates had already left Helanza and headed to their next destination.

I promise you that I will give it to your two hundred strongest kobold slaves, but the selection process seems a bit cumbersome, so please choose yourself this time.

Of these thousands of kobold slaves, you can definitely choose the one you want. Since the Pena City warehouse is used for other purposes, we have no place to house the kobold slaves, so these kobold slaves are left. Please take care of it on your behalf. You can do it whatever you want, sell it or throw it away. In short, I decided to discard all the remaining kobold slaves. If it brings you some unnecessary trouble, please be able to understand.

Of course, what I want to see most is that this kobold is not a small gift, and can join your kobold slave team together.

Ferdinand. Sincerely, Jinxi'

……

Looking at a pile of nearly a thousand kobolds gathered in front of him, Surdak realized that what was in front of him turned out to be a big problem, as the guard of Helanza city. Battalion Knight, of course he is impossible to leave eight hundred kobolds here. When the time comes, it caused public security chaos on the airport terminal. The final one was Helanza Guard Camp.

It's just that I am just a Knight after all, and the Fiefdom I own is just a small piece of Knight collar. It is really a big problem for Surdak to feed these more than a thousand kobold slaves.

Even the slave dealer Daikinsey failed to sell these kobolds, and Surdak didn't think he could sell all these kobolds.

Looking at the densely packed kobolds in the venue, Surdak regrets that he let the slave dealers away so easily...

Andrew and Samira are standing next to Surdak, Andrew Seeing the contents of Surdak’s letterhead clearly, he asked Surdak:

"Captain, what shall we do?"

Surdak rubbed his forehead vigorously and instructed Andrew:" You stay here, I will go to the carriage to rent some carriages, and I will transport them out of the city first."

"Oh..."

Andrew agreed.

Ogre standing aside was once again caught in the crowd around him, but he didn’t care too much. Taking the magic airship made Ogre always in a state of tension, and there was no good meal on the way. , Now he is touching his shriveled belly, looking forward to what Surdak said at the beginning, after arriving in Helanza City, he will have a meal in Helanza’s most famous rotisserie...

Succubus Aphrodite stood at the door of the airport terminal, watching the flow of people coming, people going at the airport terminal...

She closed her eyes and opened her arms as if to embrace the land.
