Chapter 1427: Chapter 484: Four Hundred Years of the Dragon-Slaying War, Arrival at Eternal Frost Main City (5400)
After Cao Xing and the others left.
Liu Muxue’s expression turned serious, and then she ordered, “Everyone, today we shall continue to fight.”
“Commander Bojie will lead the warriors out to deal with the Ice Nest Monsters, while the others train and meditate within the territory.”
“Also, the vigilance within the territory must be heightened.”
“Yes, my Lord!”
All the warriors once again sprang into action.
…
…
Half an hour later.
A Goblin airship was flying roughly two thousand meters high, heading straight forward.
Cao Xing was piloting the airship while opening the map.
His current position was over 2,700 kilometers away from Eternal Frost Main City, or rather, 3,000 kilometers!
This distance happened to be the limit of a large teleportation array.
Even with the Goblin airship flying non-stop for twenty-four hours at full speed, it would still take one or two days to arrive!
Moreover, in this world, due to various complex terrains and weather, maintaining maximum speed is extremely difficult.
Sustaining a speed of fifty to sixty kilometers per hour is already quite remarkable.
In other words, it would take at least two to three days just to reach the destination.
But it’s fine, as anyhow, Cao Xing is not pressed for time now.
Through the cockpit window, looking at the scenery outside, Cao Xing pondered the tasks he needed to accomplish this time.
“This time, there is quite a bit to do in Eternal Frost Main City.”
“The first task, naturally, is to find the King’s army, exchange for the Death God’s Dagger, and make use of the Honor Points.”
“The second task is to see if I can rescue the S-Class talent survivor called Tian Jing.”
“The third thing is to find a way in the main city to restore Gweneth’s voice.”
“The fourth task is to acquire teleportation array access from the Ice Crystal Kingdom; this way, traveling to Eternal Frost Main City in the future won’t be as troublesome.”
“After dealing with these four tasks, I’ll also make a visit to Chino, and then explore the legacy of that Legendary Mage.”
Cao Xing soon mapped out the tasks in his mind for what is to be done next.
He then pressed the acceleration button.
“Buzzing——”
The speed of the Goblin airship quickly increased from 70 kilometers to 90 kilometers per hour.
Of course, this increase in speed also accelerated the consumption of the Magic Energy Crystal.
This airship is indeed an energy guzzler.
At low speed, it would consume at least one [medium-sized Magic Energy Crystal] per hour.
If flying at high speed and encountering severe weather like a storm, the energy consumption could increase three to tenfold or even more.
Some Goblin trading caravans would turn off the airship’s heating function during their journey to save energy.
Fortunately, Mr. Cao’s backpack had a plentiful reserve of Magic Energy Crystals.
Not only did he turn on the heating, but he also set it to the maximum!
“Whoosh whoosh…”
The warm air quickly poured in through the ducts.
The internal temperature of the airship was significantly higher than the outside, at least a forty to fifty degree difference, covering the glass windows with a thick layer of white frost.
The journey was rather tedious.
Everyone stood silently at their seats.
Gweneth sat quietly with a lute in her arms.
The Mind Energy Empress Victoria and Holy Light Priest Isabel sat in another corner.
Assassin Sarah, as always, remained vigilant.
These women were all quietly gazing at the view outside the small windows, lost in their thoughts.
Only Blom and Assam were engaging in lively conversation.
Blom, with his loud voice, was continuously sharing strange and legendary tales he heard in his homeland.
“Let me tell you, in those days when the Eternal Frozen Sea hadn’t been completely frozen over by cold ice, there were many fishermen.”
“Many small coastal villages depended on fishing for their livelihood.”
“Fishermen from our village would pick an auspicious day to set out to sea.”
“And before setting out, we would offer sacrifices to an old turtle from the village.”
“Though I don’t know why we didn’t pray to the Ocean God, but chose to worship a turtle instead.”
“But every time after offering sacrifices, we indeed had a bountiful harvest.”
“Until one day, a young sailor took that old turtle back onto his ship, wanting to keep this miraculous turtle all to himself.”
“Later…”
Everyone listened, captivated by Blom’s animated storytelling.
He then began recounting his life of wandering.
“Later the village was destroyed, and I drifted about the Eternal Frozen Sea for two to three years with the captain.”
“Then one day, we suddenly saw divine lights appear over the sea, lights that any living creature on the Eternal Frozen Sea could see.”
“It was the Divine Oracle of the True God descending.”
“They warned all fishermen, sailors, and pirates that the Ancient Giant Dragon Zhuoma was about to awaken.”
“Its power would completely freeze the Eternal Frozen Sea, urging us to leave quickly.”
“After that…”
Cao Xing, controlling the airship, listened with interest to Blom’s story.
However, just as Blom reached the crucial part, he paused deliberately.
Cao Xing asked, “And what happened next, Blom?”
The big guy chuckled awkwardly, smiling sheepishly as he looked at Cao Xing and said, “My Lord, Blom is a bit thirsty.”
“Can I have a sip of wine to moisten my throat?”
Cao Xing was speechless.
But he still took out a good amount of fine wine and food from his backpack and placed it on the table.
Allowing everyone to enjoy as they pleased.
