134. Preparations before leaving the imperial capital
The Haiyinsi City gradually became smaller in my eyes, and the airship jumped above the clouds, and the Haiyinsi City completely disappeared from my sight.
Sixteen floating devices emitted violent magical fluctuations. With the buzzing roar, the magic airship sailed away from the Haiyinsi Airport Pier and kept climbing upwards until the airship smoothly entered the high-air flow belt. Captain Ursula shouted loudly from the captain's room to the crew on the deck: "Rise the sail..."
As the white sails on the five masts were all pulled up by the crew, even the jacksails at the bow were extremely swelled by the strong wind from the airflow belt. The main mast of the five-masted sailboat, which was more than 80 meters long, made a squeaking sound, and the magic airship continued to increase its speed on the airflow belt, flying towards the southwest wind of Haiyinsi City.
Captain Ursula was wearing a white shirt and black pants, and was wearing a pair of exquisite leather boots. The sleeves of the white shirt were rolled up high, and his golden curly hair was very capable on the top of his head. In addition to Captain Ursula, this magic airship also had a first mate and a second mate, twenty crew members, two cooks, and eleven cleaning maids on the ship.
There are three first-class cabins on the ship, all on the second floor of the ship building on the deck. One of them is Captain Ursula's living room, and the other two first-class cabins are for sale. In addition to two bedrooms, these two first-class cabins also have a very compact living room. There is a round glass window on one side of the reception room, which allows you to see the scenery outside through the glass window, and the bedroom side is close to the corridor.
The first floor of the Magic Airship Tower also has twelve second-class cabins. As for the third-class cabins, it is two floors below the deck. The third floor below the deck is the crew's lounge, and the bottom two floors are cargo holds. The airship heading towards Qiyan City can accommodate about 300 passengers. If the airship was not waiting for us to board the boat at the airport dock, it would have been delayed for most of the day, and the airship had already set off in the morning.
Our group occupied the best two cabins on the ship. Through the glass window, we could see the clouds under the airship flowing backwards like river water.
Knocking at the door of the room in the cabin next door, Annie opened the door and saw that it was me, so she moved out of the door. I leaned into it and looked inside, and asked with a shameless face: "Is it convenient?"
Su was lying in front of the glass window at this time, looking at the scenery outside, and hearing my voice, he turned to me and said, "Jijia, look over there, it turns out that snow geese can fly so high!"
I leaned over to Su and sat on the sofa. Su probably rarely traveled. She was very novel about everything when riding in a magic airship. Her bright eyes were full of a strong desire for knowledge about everything. She changed into a corn dress and exposed a piece of ivory-like calves. Now the prosthetics of the Oriana Magic Store have become an indispensable part of her life. Although she now uses enough ability to change the right one for herself, she is still insisting on using the prosthetics I gave her. Looking from her side, the slightly raised corner of her mouth was filled with a surprise for the world.
I also followed her like that, put my chin on the backrest of the sofa, and looked at the scenery outside through the small glass window: "If you have anything to do on the journey, just tell me."
Su's eyes were crescent, like a quiet and bright crescent moon at night, waving bright moonlight, saying to me happily: "This is already very good. This is the first time I have been riding a magic airship to live in such a first-class cabin. It feels like living in a luxurious hotel. It turns out that this is the life of a nobleman!"
Anne, who stood behind us, said incredibly calmly: "Not all nobles can enjoy such a life..."
"... In addition, you have to learn to organize your own belongings. You live a pampered life in Campbell Nursing Home, which almost makes you lose the ability to organize your housework!" Anne was like a teacher in charge of housework in the college, and began to ask Sue to try to do some daily housework.
As for Su, she seemed to enjoy the process very much, and didn't feel it was hard or boring at all. She kept complaining to Annie, 'This is much easier than treating it!'
Senior Erica walked out of her room, and at this time her beakers for making potions turned into tools for making tea, with a sour and sweet smell floating in the air.
I sat on the sofa and said to her, "Senior Erica, you don't know how depressed I was when Senior Vernon heard that you left Didu without saying goodbye."
She walked out of the tea room with a tray full of teacups, bent down and poured the lemon tea into the teacup, and her long hair poured down her back like a waterfall. Senior Erica had a bitter smile on her face, "Do you want to listen to what happened between us?"
"I'm indeed a little curious, but if it's inconvenient to say, I can't listen." I shrugged and said.
Senior Erica sat down opposite me and said to me: "There is nothing to say. Like many people, Hailibu and I are classmates at the Royal Magic Academy. Because of the same interests and hobbies, we both joined the Academy's Potion Club. At that time, Hailibu was different from now. He was full of longing for magical herbal medicine. His understanding of many herbal medicines was the best among the magic students in the Academy. He was very sunny at that time, and he loved to help other students. He was very popular in the Academy. When the old president of the Magic Academy graduated, he handed over the position of the president of the Magic Academy. At that time, the presidents of the major clubs of the Royal Magic Academy were the most outstanding magic students in the Academy."
"We can have a lot of conversations with each other, and because we are very close, we gradually changed from good friends to lovers. At that time, our biggest dream was to open our own magic store on Didu and sell our own unique magic potions to people. Most of the time we would manage that medicine park in the water system ecological park."
"When we reached the third grade, Vernon was the magic freshman of that class. I'm afraid you can't imagine how terrible it was when Helibu brought him to the Royal Magic Academy. Vernon was a water magician. You also know that the water magicians in the Royal Magic Academy are as rare as the dragon clan. Water magicians often get twice the result with half the effort when learning potions. So Helibu was determined to develop Vernon into a member of the Potion Society, but that guy was very independent. He actually liked alchemy very much."
"When the third grade was about to end, Vernon could not resist Hailibu's lobbying and actually agreed to join the Potion Society. They were from the same province. Hailibu always took good care of Vernon. At that time, he was like a young follower of Hailibu. Gradually, three people would always appear on dates between Hailibu and me. At that time, we would also go to the faces of the rich magic herbs during the holidays."
"Until graduation, Hailibu and I left the Royal Academy of Magic. We rented a small cottage in Didu and opened a very small potion store. In those years, the primary magic herbs were a big street, and the business of the potion store was not too prosperous. The great lords were more willing to cooperate with the potionists in the Potion Union. Even if the situation was difficult, we slowly survived. Later, we bought a shop on the back street of the Royal Magic Academy and opened that potion store."
"Actually, it's hard to tell the right or wrong. Helibu has protected me well in recent years. He has always been facing the wind and rain outside alone. I am hiding behind him and refining magic potions in that small magic store. We have paid a lot for that magic store. Sometimes he will deal with wealthy nobles and socialites, and some people will tell me privately that he often has close contact with a certain marquis. In fact, the life of the magician at the bottom of the Didu is not as bright and beautiful as it seems."
"We had already planned that he would marry the lady of the Hopkinson family first and obtain the primary magic herb channels of the Hopkinson family, so that our potion store can slowly develop slowly. I have met the lady of the Hopkinson family. Although she is a somewhat spoiled noble lady, it is not too difficult to get along with. If it weren't for the plane war, we would have been married to Hylibu now."
"It is a pity that the Hopkinson family is the largest magic herb vendor in the Green Empire. In the first year of the plane war, the Hopkinson family successively fell into three rich planes that were rich in magic herbs. In order to regain those three planes, the Hopkinson family did not hesitate to spend all the family assets to form a Knights, and asked Miss Hopkinson to be a lover for a southern lord. Unfortunately, even so, the Hopkinson family failed to save the fate of the family. The next winter, their family moved out of Didu collectively and completely withdrew from the stage of the wealthy and nobles of Didu, and our magic store became even more difficult."
"During that time, we even wanted to give up the potion store. It was at that time that Hailibu's personality changed little by little. He had no patience for nothing, his personality became a little irritable, and he looked very gloomy. Since then, he has rarely seen his smile."
"During that time, he became Madame Cecilia's lover. He heard that the Marquis's husband led the Knights to fight the Nakma legion on the plane battlefield. In the early stages of the war, he won several battles in succession and transported back a large number of captured magic herbs from the front line. Unfortunately, the legion fell on the Pandora plane. Madame Cecilia also sold the property of Didu and returned to the territory in the south."
I also know something about this Mrs. Cecilia, but I didn’t expect that Hylibu and Yekis still had this relationship, and I don’t know if they had met...
I heard something from the story of Senior Erica. It seems that there is no Senior Vernon in Senior Erica's life, or even a trace of it! She seems to have always regarded Senior Vernon as Hailibu's follower.
I couldn't help but hold my forehead with my hand and sighed softly, poor senior Vernon!
"Senior Erica, has Senior Vernon never officially confessed to you?" I asked curiously, and couldn't help but complain that Senior Vernon was such a coward.
Senior Erica's face turned red, and she tried to make her tone look solemn. "When she graduated, he suddenly found me at that dinner at the Potion Society and said a lot of inexplicable words. At that time, I thought he was talking nonsense after getting drunk, but I never saw him look for me again... At that time, Hailibu and I had a good relationship. Later, when Hailibu became Mrs. Cecilia's lover, he always sneaked into the potion store, and later had a big fight with Hailibu."
"You and Senior Hailibu should be considered to have officially broken up, right?" I stared into Senior Erica's eyes and asked her seriously.
Senior Erica's eyes were filled with sadness. She silently poured herself a cup of lemon tea. The tea overflowed the cup without stopping. She murmured: "He has deviated from his normal life. We have serious differences with our future life. We cannot continue. I cannot save him and do not want to fall with him. Separation is probably the best choice."
"Since that's the case, why don't you accept Senior Vernon? As his friend, I can guarantee that he is a trustworthy person." After saying that, I felt more like a salesman in a certain store, but I immediately realized that Senior Erica seemed to have known Senior Vernon for a longer time, and she should have known Senior Vernon better.
Senior Erica has the gentleness of women in the southern part of the Green Empire. She is not like Tracy. She does everything she does and speaks very straightforwardly. She can tell whether she likes it or not at a glance.
When Senior Erica blushed, she also looked like a lady. She said: "It is impossible between us... When facing him, I feel an unspeakable embarrassment."
I felt a little unworthy for Senior Vernon, and couldn't help but say in a questioning tone: "Why is this?"
Erica sat opposite me, her face flushed, she hesitated for a long time before she mustered up the courage, and finished the whole sentence in just one breath, "For example, if one of your close friends and his girlfriend often appear in your life, he not only cares about you, but you will also conduct various outdoor training and adventures together. He and his girlfriend do those things and will not even avoid you. You even know what postures they like. When your close friends break up with your girlfriend, his girlfriend comes over to confess to you. Would you mind?"
"Senior Erica, I seem to understand a little..." I said guiltily, taking advantage of the awkward atmosphere that had not yet completely spread.
He quickly found an excuse to leave the cabin and ran to the deck outside the airship to take a look.
I sat on a large wooden barrel on the high deck, holding a linen rope in my hand, and watching the airship galloping past the flowing clouds.
"Arelia must ask me to say 'thank you' to you for her." Ying Li walked out of the deck behind, and I reached out and pulled her to the platform. She clasped the ropes on the fence with both hands, facing the wind, and her hair flew with her hair.
"Why do you want to thank me?" I narrowed my eyes.
Ying Li looked very happy, smiling as elegant as an elf. She tied her long hair splattered by the wind behind her head and said softly: "Of course I have to thank you for saving so many Jiana slaves!"
