44 Thief in the Air

According to the agreement, Yili dispatched a medium-sized transport boat for Qilin to send to him the next day. Since Nuoyin was busy with military affairs recently and rarely returned home, Qilin's actions were not hindered. After telling the Duke uncle that he "go out to do something", he set out amid the instructions of "Go quickly and return quickly". It is worth mentioning that someone did not return to the palace in the end. He followed Qilin onto the transport boat of the Gren Chamber of Commerce in a desperate manner. He also threatened to devote himself to studying the ecology of reptiles for many years. When fighting with reptiles, there was no more trustworthy staff than him, etc.

It can be seen that Yili also wanted to watch the fun, and stood under the hanger several times and wanted to say something but stopped. But unlike someone who forgot his sense of responsibility in his womb, Shaodong of the Gren Chamber of Commerce had a clear understanding of his responsibilities, so Yili waved his hand and said goodbye to Qilin and others, and promised to help him find the parts needed by the wolf flame as soon as possible. Then, under the envious gaze of Gren Shaodong, the transport boat carried two dangerous elements towards the destination warhammer volcano.

Warhammer Volcano is located southwest of Linger City. Qilin and others set off at noon. In the early morning of the next day, the figure of Warhammer Volcano could be seen from afar.

The Warhammer Volcano is 3,600 meters above sea level, and it looks conical from a distance. Thunder accumulates all year round on the top of the mountain, and the foot of the mountain is a rolling and undulating primeval forest. In the forest, many monsters, including ghouls to Minotaurs, are active in the forest. In addition, the Warhammer Volcano itself forms the largest inability zone in the territory of LaVillis. Just looking down at the volcanic forest below from above, the ghost energy is already so gloomy. As for the Kirin's behavior of breaking in and hunting the Corodod dragon, the crew members on the transport boats are almost all the equal signs in the "sent to death".

However, even in such a nervous atmosphere, there are still people who are cheerful.

"Oh oh oh, it's still smoking! I wonder what the situation was like when the outbreak?"

Xiu De was looking forward to the volcano with thick smoke, and his fear of chaos in the world made the crew members in the distance turn green.

"Go to you! If a volcano erupts, believe it or not, I will throw you down as a sacrifice immediately?"

After making a common sense warning, Qilin leaned down at the ghost world forest where monsters were rampant below, showing a rather regretful expression.

"But, it's a pity that just flew over like this. Why don't we go down and see what's going on?"

The crew members who had just come down to peace of mind turned pale again when they heard this, but fortunately Qilin did not intend to take these words seriously, but instead turned their attention to the surrounding gray sky. Since approaching the volcano, the bumps of the transport boat have become more and more obvious, which aroused his interest.

"...The wind flows so chaotic." After all, it was the second time in his life to take a flying boat. Qilin was a little unsure and confirmed to Xiude. "I said, is this situation very common?"

"That's right. Because the existence of the volcano disrupts the airflow circulation in this area, airflow-powered aircraft will inevitably be affected, but this level does not matter."

"What level does it matter?" Qilin said curiously.

"Well, when a volcano erupts?" Xiu De explained enthusiastically. "You know that air currents are the magic energy that circulates in the atmosphere, which is theoretically the same as sea currents. The existence of a volcano is equivalent to a reef at the bottom of the sea, which will hinder the movement of air currents and cause turbulence. A slight turbulence will not affect the operation of the airship, but if a volcano erupts or something, the turbulence will turn into a fierce turbulence and further evolve into "Tianlan". In that case..."

"What will happen?"

"This transport boat will be torn in half..." Xiu Debi gestured, put his hands together, and then separated. "Then the two halves become four halves, four halves become eight halves, until they turn into slag powder, and then they are brought to the sky by the violent air current, and finally return to the cycle of the world there."

“Same goes for people sitting in the boat?”

"Theory is this, but according to historical records, there are also people who survived by chance in 'Tianlan'. According to my speculation, this is because the human body itself can be regarded as a separate cycle of air currents, and the characteristics of air currents are..."

"Mr....Young Master! Two Young Masters!" A difficult voice came from behind, interrupting the two's enthusiastic discussion.

Qilin looked back and saw a white-bearded sailor standing behind them. The sailor's name was Sinbada, also known as Old Sinba. Old Sinba is the most experienced sailor on the ship. It is said that he had a legendary adventure when he was young, so other young sailors admired Old Sinba very much. As the symbol of Old Sinba's senior sailor, the old Sinba always bit it in his mouth. In the past few days, Qilin seemed to have never seen the pipe shut down.

"Two young men, are you not afraid of getting 'Among's anger, dare you say these words in the sky?"

At this time, Old Simba had already taken down his baby pipe and pulled it into his hand, squeaking, and his eyes were filled with indescribable grief and anger when he looked at the two of them.

"Ameng?" Qilin blinked, then looked at Xiude as if inquiring.

"Ah, 'Amun' is the sky god believed in by sailors." Xiude showed his profound knowledge at the right time. "Originally, Amun's official name was 'Amun's relics', which was originally the name of the ancestor believed by the celestial people. Later, with the sky civilization falling to the ground, during the process of cultural dissemination, the Amun's ancestor's belief gradually became the prototype of the sky god Amun's god, and became a belief worldwide. However, in the Tower of Babel where the celestial people live, the prototype of the Amun's relics is still enshrined. If you have the chance, you can go and worship."

"...What did I do when I go to worship the ancestors of the heavenly beings?"

"Don't say that. Amon is the God of the Sky at all. For the sake of the future, you have to go to worship the pier, right? Besides, as the prototype Amon relics, they are still the guardian god of care in the sky civilization!"

"...It is because of the ancestor that the celestial beings were destroyed, right?" Qilin showed a disdainful expression.

"Your statement is not unreasonable, but the celestial race is not a warlike race..." Xiu De tried to explain half of the bloodline on his body, but the sudden sound of the sound next to him interrupted his words.

"Two young men! You... do you still want to talk?" Old Simba stared at the two of them talking nonsense with gritted teeth, as if they were reluctant to throw them off the transport boat.

For the sailors who have been walking in the sky for many years, the sky is full of danger and mystery, and Amon, the incarnation of the sky, is a god they are extremely awesome. No sailor dared to offend Amon in the sky, and as for the unscrupulous nonsense like the two, it would have never been before. If Yili had not greeted him in advance and Qilin was a guest of the Uncrowned Wang family, his identity would have made Old Simba dare not disrespect. If it were someone else, he would have been tied up by the sailors and prepared to offer it to Amon as a sacrifice.

"Uh..." The sailor stared at him with an angry look, and the two bad young men seemed to realize that their words and deeds just now were indeed a bit too much.

"Sorry, old man. This guy is always unstoppable. If there is something to offend him, it doesn't matter if he teaches him a lesson!" Qilin pointed at Xiude and pushed the responsibility without hesitation.

"Hey, who do you say..."

"After that, did our voyage go quite smoothly?" Qilin interrupted Xiu De's protest and tried to help the sailors get back to his mood. "Is this common situation not encountered a storm, nor did he encounter a thief in the sky?"

"Think...it's right." Old Simba's face was slightly relaxed when she heard this, and took out a pendant from her arms that looked like a beast's finger bone, kissed it devoutly with her lips, and then explained to the two novices in front of her. "This is Amon's amulet, which can protect the ship away from storms and natural disasters. As for the air thieves you just mentioned, they usually won't appear on this route."

"Why?" Qilin said curiously.

"Idiot, the place we are going to is 'unable to take'! Do you think there will be merchant ships coming and going on this route often?" As if we wanted to avenge the revenge just now, Xiu De explained instead of Old Simba. "The pirates make a living by robbing merchant ships. Of course, this place where people are rarely visited and birds do not lay eggs cannot arouse their interest, so we are very safe now... right, old man?"

Someone shook the invisible tail behind him, and his attempt to please the sailor was very obvious, but the Qilin looked into the distance and objected to his assurance.

"I said, are you really sure there will be no air pirates in this place?"

"That's more, I guarantee it with the reputation of the King of LaVillis..."

"Then, the reputation of the Wang family will be shattered." Qilin pointed at a certain sky behind the transport boat, where a small black dot was emerging from the clouds.

"Although I think the possibility of that being a merchant ship is very small, but... can you use a telescope to see it?"

………………………………………

Qilin's premonition was quite accurate. When it was confirmed from the telescope that the airship was rushing towards this side, there was indeed an ever-changing skeleton flag hanging on the airship behind, all the crew's faces became pale as paper.

"...Why do air thieves appear in such places?" Old Simba stumbled his lips and said a word for a long time.

"It's very strange. A place like this without any oil and water... isn't it really suitable to travel recently?" Although Xiu De was not panicked, he also began to question his fortune.

"It's good to do this kind of thing! How is the problem now? I don't think they will just come over and say hello and leave." Qilin shouted at the panicked people and confirmed to the sailor.

"Hey! Old man, can you get rid of that empty pirate ship?"

"...I can't get rid of it." After observing the speed of the air pirate ship, the sailor shook his head in despair. "The other party is a combat ship. Even if the speed of this transport boat is full, it can only delay for ten minutes at most."

"Where is the Air Force? Did the smoke send out a request for help?"

"I sent it, but it's close to an uninvited area. There are no air forces patrolling it."

"Then, do you have weapons on this ship?"

"Only... there are only a few guns and stone crossbows. I'm afraid that this will be used to deal with the empty pirate ship..." The sailor who said this showed a serious lack of confidence.

"Well, with long-range firepower, a few guns and stone crossbows cannot deal with the air thieves." Xiude tried to make other suggestions. "I said, how about using a boarding battle? Let's pretend to escape first, and stop the ship and surrender when the air thieves fire their cannons. Then they will naturally move closer and board the ship to plunder. Wait until then... do you know?"

As a gossip enthusiast, Xiu De certainly would not have known that Qilin had once suppressed the pirate ship single. In the sky ruins, Qilin's very force when facing the abyss multi-headed dragon also made him once again convinced that this was the most suitable tactic for the current tactic. Once the pirates were blinded by the prey in front of him and excitedly stepped onto the deck of the transport boat, what awaited them would be the tyrant's minions and lifelong regret. Although Xiu De's plan sounded like no problem, Qilin had other concerns.

"...what if they don't plan to board the ship?" Qilin raised this possibility.

"Hey, if it weren't for snatching things, then why did they chase after me? I wouldn't just run away if I fired a shot..."

Xiu De was stunned for a moment, as if he understood the meaning of Qilin, but he couldn't help frowning. "You mean, they are..."

"This is a route that pirates rarely appear, right?" Qilin looked back at Xiude with a bitter face. "Including the last encounter in the sky ruins, don't you think we have been too lucky recently?"

"Wait, then...what should I do?" Xiu De was really panicked this time.
