Chapter 482: Naming the airship
Compared to the pod, the airbag of the airship is quite huge. Although it has not been inflated yet, Kester said that when inflated, the airbag can be 61 meters long and 15.5 meters in diameter. In addition, there is a small auxiliary airbag to assist the airship in lifting and lowering.
Looking at the silver airbag, Kester said: "The airbag has not been painted yet. It will look great when it is painted."
Alice said: "I have seen the picture "But I don't like sharks, can I change the paint?"
"What kind of paint do you want to change?" Kester asked.
"Hmm..." Alice thought for a moment and called Yeck out: "Can you use its appearance for painting?"
"It?" Kester looked at little Yeck. .
Yek stood on Alice's palm, blinked his small black bean-like eyes, and looked at his master inexplicably.
Kester said: "Yes, of course. The painting is done last. I will help you do it after the airship is ready. By the way, you haven't picked up the paint for your airship yet. Name it.”
“Name it?”
Kester smiled and said: "The paint can be changed, and of course the name can also be changed. Rich businessmen who buy airships and hot air balloons will give them names, such as 'Flying Dragon', 'Emperor', and 'Warrior' Wait. For something as valuable as this, it may stay with you for a long time, even for a lifetime. Shouldn’t you give it a name?”
“That’s right, then give it a name. What should it be called? Okay?" Hullington thought with his chin raised.
Alice said: "Call it 'Alice'."
"No." Hullington immediately objected.
“Why?”
Hullington said: "This boat was bought with my money. It cannot be named after you."
"Then call it the 'Yeck'." Alice said.
Hughington said again: "No."
"Why?"
Hughington said: "It's up to you to decide what to use for the paint. The naming rights should be left to me.”
Alice said: "But since it is painted in the image of Yeck, it should be called 'Yeck'."
"Who said that? I have to decide what to call it."
Bing Zhixie, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke: "Stop arguing, I have decided to call it 'Harmony'."
"'Harmony'!!" Everyone said in unison. gave their airship a new name.
Alice nodded: "Well, that's a good name."
Hullington also agreed: "Yes, when I hear this name, I feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy."
Kester said strangely: "'Harmony'? Others usually give it to themselves. Why do you want to give the airship a mighty or noble name? Such a strange name."
Alice said: "Kester, think about it. When the balloon is inflated, it will be bulging in the clouds, flying slowly, like a bird. People will also surround it, cloud elves will also like it, and the sun and eyes will shine on it. , Isn’t this very harmonious?”
Hughington also said: “Harmony is a kind of beauty, it represents happiness, it represents peace, and it represents that the grandson can sleep peacefully on grandma’s lap. It means that couples can live a sweet life with countless happiness and laughter. They all come from harmony, isn’t the name ‘Harmony’ good?”
Finally it was Bing Zhixie’s turn to speak. He looked at Kester, his eyes were deep and full of light, that feeling. It was like seeing the light of faith, extremely firm and powerful. He said meaningfully: "Harmony! No reason is needed."
Then Kester showed them the airship's own main force. Different from hot air balloons, hot air balloons do not have any power to fly in the air. They can only rely on the height of flight and the wind in different airflow layers. The airship is different. The airship has its own power magic array, which can rely on the energy released from the wind magic crystal to propel the airship into flight.
After a while, Hoffman came back. In addition to him, there was also an official in official uniform accompanying him.
The official looked at Bing Zhixie and the others: "Is that them?"
"Yes." Hoffman introduced Bing Zhixie and the others: "This is our city archives The curator of the museum. He came to pick up the hot air balloon today. He heard that you bought an airship, so he came here to take a look."
"Haha, Hello. You are the first person to buy an airship in our city. I just wanted to see where the rich businessman came from, but I didn't expect it to be three young boys." The curator stretched out his hand to shake their hands. , but Lovely Liz and the others looked at him warily, because they had a bad impression of government officials in this country before, so they all had a grudge. Unexpectedly, Bing Zhixie took the initiative to come up to him and hold hands with him, and said with a smile: "Don't mind, my two friends just touched those machines, and their hands are very dirty."
"Oh, it doesn't matter." The curator smiled. In fact, he also knew that these outsiders might be disgusted with local officials, and he was used to it.
Bingzhi smiled evilly and said: "Maybe our ages may surprise you, but it's nothing strange, right?"
"Yes, that's right, it's strange. Having seen so many things, there’s nothing surprising about it.” The curator asked, “Hey, where did you come from?”
Hoffman said, “Oh, he told me they were. From the Demon Moon Empire”
The curator said: "No wonder, he turned out to be a guest of the Demon Moon Empire. I haven't had the chance to go to the Demon Moon Empire, but I heard that there are abundant products and talents, and the emperors and nobles are very wealthy. Judging from your attire, you should be too. A noble from the Demon Moon Empire."
"I can't say that I'm a noble. My family has some assets. The three of us went on a trip, but the road was difficult, so we changed our travel tools." Mr. Chang "Is your hot air balloon ready?"
"Well, it's a little later than I expected." The curator said, "What, are you interested in trying it?"
Bingzhixie said: "Of course the curator agrees. This is my first time to experience the fun of a hot air balloon."
Alice and Hullington looked at Bingzhixie and the man inexplicably. The curator started talking to him because this was really against Bing Zhixie's normal behavior.
Five people came to the hot air balloon.
The curator said: "Well, this is my hot air balloon. It was specially customized by me and was designed and manufactured by Hoffman's son Kester. There are several hot air balloon sellers in our city. "It's the best place to make it."
"It seems that we really didn't choose the wrong place."
The golden balloon, whirring flames, and the balloon filled with hot air flew thousands of meters high in the sky. In the hanging basket below, there were three people, the curator, Bing Zhixie, and Alice. Because the load-bearing capacity of the hot air balloon is limited, only Wrongful Hullington stayed below.
"It's really good. This balloon should be expensive, right?" Bing Zhixie asked.
The curator skillfully operated the hot air balloon. Bian said: "It's not very expensive, more than 20,000 gold coins. Hoffman took care that I was a regular customer and got a discount. You know, this is the third hot air balloon I bought. I like to ride it to travel in the sky." . ”
Alice lay beside the hanging basket and looked at the scenery below, which made her want a free-flying monster.
Bing Zhixie chatted enthusiastically with the curator, and promised to invite him to test fly the airship when it was ready. While chatting, Bing Zhixie suddenly asked: "Director, the archives you manage must have recorded everything here from ancient times to the present."
The director smiled: "Everything is It is impossible to record it, but most of the important events are recorded in the archives, including the history of several dynasties before the establishment of our Kingdom of Guiniz.”
Bingzhixiedao. : "Are there any important things that happened more than five thousand years ago?"
When Alice heard what the master said, she felt moved in her heart: "It turns out that this is why the master is so enthusiastic."
The curator said: "It was more than five thousand years ago, a long time ago. Why do you ask this? ?”
Bing Zhixie said: “Oh, I recently heard a story that an ancient magician appeared here more than five thousand years ago, so I want to ask if there is such a thing. , or the same story The person who did this is lying to me."
"Haha, that's it, I have to think about it." The director thought for a while and said, "There are so many things recorded in the archives, I was really confused. I can’t remember whether there is such a thing.”
In fact, no matter how many files there are in the archives, it should be easy to remember such a unique thing about the ancient magician five thousand one hundred years ago. , it is impossible for the curator to fail to remember. He said he couldn't remember, which shows that he, like other officials here, was not doing his job properly.
Bing Zhixie knew this well, and of course he would not tell him the truth.
Alice said: "Then can you take us to the archives to have a look?"
The director said: "I'm afraid that's not possible. Many materials in the archives involve It is confidential and outsiders are not allowed to access it. Even officials from this city can only do so with permission from above."< br>
Bing Zhixie stopped Alice from talking and said, "That's a shame. I'm really curious about the story of the ancient magician."
The curator thought for a while, Said: "How about this? I'll check it out for you when I'm at work, and I'll tell you then."
"That's great, I really don't know how to thank you." Bing Zhixie looked overjoyed.
