Chapter 132 Current coordinates: Eastern border, Ceylon Territory
Hearing Brandon's question, Gale understood something about it and explained: "Because only goblin airships can fly long distances in the wild without being attacked by flying monsters."
"Someone once tried to imitate a similar airship. It can take off and sail without any problems, but it can only fly back and forth in a few nearby cities. Once it enters the wild, there is a high probability that it will be attacked by monsters."
"After calculating the cost, it would be more cost-effective to send a few more carriages."
Under the threat of the evil god's pollution, a large number of animals and plants in the wild were transformed into monsters by the chaotic atmosphere, becoming crazy and aggressive.
Monsters naturally include things that can fly.
It is relatively safe near cities where civilized races gather. Most monsters usually only stay in their own territories. However, airships that cross cities and traverse several regions will inevitably fly through the wilderness.
The airship itself is actually very fragile, and it relies on the huge airbag on it to stay afloat;
Once the airbag is damaged by an attack, it may make an emergency landing or crash in the worst case.
"Ah? Why is this? Only goblin airships are not attacked by monsters?"
Gale shook his head: "I don't know."
"This is the trade secret of the Green Harbor goblins. Caron Lever started his career by providing air transportation business. How he did it, no one knows."
"Okay." Brandon sighed sadly, took out his notebook from his jacket pocket, and started writing and drawing again on the swaying airship:
"July 16, 997 in the New Hui Calendar" , night, Sir Brandon Robert stepped forward at the critical moment and saved the goblin airship named Golden Tide Breaking Wind! He received the sincere gratitude of the captain and all passengers! "
"Sir Brandon waved to everyone generously and said that everything was as he expected. As long as he is here, this airship can become a miracle that will never fall!"
"This is an insignificant experience in the adventurous career of the legendary hero Brandon. The words leave a memorial for future generations to remember!"
…
As the first golden twilight of dawn lit up from the end of the sea of trees in the dark forest, Miranda finished her daily practice of praying to the God of Light. At this time, looking from the airship to the ground, the scenery was no longer the same as Green Harbor. same.
Over at Green Harbor, located in the southernmost coastal area of the Prentiss continent, it is hot and rainy all year round. The plants growing on the hilly low mountains and plain terrain structure also have distinctive regional characteristics.
The most iconic ones are the rows of coconut trees and mangroves with thick leaves and stems near the port.
As the airship approached the Ceylon Territory in the east of the Kingdom of Reyak, the environment began to change to the interior plains of the continent away from the ocean.
The terrain is relatively flat and the climate is relatively mild. Several rivers originate from the dark forest and flow all the way west to the royal capital. The fertile soil created by irrigation along the way is suitable for farming. Therefore, a large number of villages and towns were built based on the rivers.
Looking from the air, you can see large and neat golden wheat fields, as well as scattered traces of human construction on the ground.
Unfortunately, further east, after crossing the border, things don't look so great.
Even if the sun rises and brings light to this continent, the dark forest still looks lifeless.
No matter how bright the sun is, it cannot illuminate the virgin forest densely covered with trees. There is a faint and depressing atmosphere hanging over the entire forest. Just looking at it from a distance makes people feel scared.
Miranda frowned and looked in the direction of the dark forest.
When she was receiving training from the Crusaders, she once went to the border. Of course, she was only responsible for the treatment and logistics behind the front.
At that time, she heard it from her companions in the Crusaders.
The situation in the Dark Forest has become worse and worse in recent years, the atmosphere of chaos has become more serious, and the number of monsters has also increased. The Crusaders, adventurers, and mercenaries have been clearing out the escaping monsters on the outskirts of the forest for a long time, but the situation has not improved at all. Monsters are still pouring out from the depths of the forest.
The Ceylon Territory is a noble fiefdom closest to the Dark Forest on the eastern border. It was entrusted to the Countess of Ceylon who was loyal to the royal family. Her other identity is a powerful mage. It is said that she is proficient in illusions and enchantment magic.
The Countess of Ceylon is a strong-armed iron-blooded noble. Although the territory is not very safe, after taking control of the governance of the territory, she has taken the lead in organizing adventurers to clean up the monster threats on the border several times, and even annihilated the monsters. It has become a business.
Yes, business.
After being contaminated by evil aura and transformed into monsters, the original body structures of animals and plants will be distorted.
But the results of this distortion are not necessarily all bad. Sometimes you can find good weapon and armor materials from the corpses of monsters, or extract materials for certain potions, or even some unique raw materials.
The Countess of Ceylon was a famous adventurer before she was canonized.
She had a close relationship with a dwarf friend and left many stories of their deeds on the continent.
The various materials obtained by destroying the monsters were sent to the stone castle, a dwarf city adjacent to the north of the Kingdom of Leyak, through the channels of her dwarf friends in the form of direct supply.
A stable industrial chain has been formed and the economy of Ceylon has been revitalized.
…
"Dear passengers, we are about to arrive in Ceylon successfully! If you need to return, please be sure to consider the Golden Tide Breaker. It has maintained an excellent record of zero failure fatalities for many years. Captain Ronald will It’s your best choice when traveling! ”
Accompanied by Ronald's shrill and harsh voice, the goblin airship landed staggeringly in an open space outside Ceylon City, making a loud bang when it landed.
When stepping off the airship, Peter noticed that some unknown parts had fallen off the tail due to the impact of landing.
"If I ride on this deceptive Golden Chao Po Feng again for the rest of my life, I will be like a dog!"
Peter swore secretly in his heart.
Unlike Peter and Gale, two locals who were born and raised in the Ceylon Territory, Brandon and Rena came to the border of the kingdom for the first time, and it was also the border with monsters as neighbors.
The first impression of Ceylon City is that the folk customs are sturdy!
Adventurers and mercenaries of all kinds from all over the Kingdom of Reyak gathered here.
The dark forest is a symbol of danger, but danger also comes with opportunities.
If you fight monsters for a long time, you may become contaminated by the evil god's breath and become corrupted.
But hunting for a short period of time would not be a big problem, so adventurers and mercenaries were born who made a living by destroying monsters and finding valuable aberration materials.
As for second impressions.
Lena looked at the swarms of temporary shacks outside the city and exclaimed:
“There are so many refugees!”
