Lost Narrative Poetry

It didn't take long to board the Magic Airship. After all, there were no people waiting in line to board.

The only slightly worrying thing is that everyone is penniless and has no identity documents or anything like that.

And it is an obvious fact that in a civilized society where magic is highly developed to this extent, these things are also indispensable. So before boarding the airship, everyone thought they might have to rely on magic to solve the problem.

After all, although tricks such as hinting and domination are always unappealing, they are always very convenient and useful when solving some tedious little troubles like these.

However, as a local resident, Miss Scathach has obviously been fully prepared. Not only has she prepared a common currency, but she has also prepared corresponding false identities for everyone.

It seemed that these problems were no problem at all, and Fujimaru Ritsuka and others were immediately relieved.

——Of course, it’s just a seeming thing. It’s not the case when it comes to actual operations.

"It's strange, why are there so many passengers on Skye today... Where are you from, and what are you doing here?"

The soldier in charge of the inspection was obviously confused. He looked at the large group of people in front of him with suspicious eyes, and his inspection attitude was also very careful.

After all, he had followed this airship up and down this route many times in the past. Basically, he rarely encountered such a large group of passengers at the Isle of Skye site, or should I say, basically there was no such thing. Passengers are the right ones.

Because Skye is a barren island with no special resources, the kingdom's development is limited to the port and this town.

So the question arises, why did this group of people come to this island from other places and stop over? If the destination is not Skye, then why do you have to get off the bus and wait here before taking the magic airship to leave?

And judging from the test results of the documents, this group of people are not residents of the Isle of Skye, but are from the British mainland. This is very strange... Of course, if the documents show that they are natives of the Isle of Skye, , then it’s also very strange.

Such a large group of people suddenly gathered together today and wanted to leave the island together. It also seemed problematic no matter how you looked at it.

Although over the years, with the crazy development of magic technology, various novel products have emerged in endlessly. From steam technology to magic reactors, from sky rails to sea trains... In just a few years, the world has changed more dramatically than in the previous eras combined.

Various means of transportation such as magic airships, sea trains, steam ferries, etc. have appeared, replacing the previous positions of horses and carriages. Although they have not been completely eliminated, after all, they are still relatively easy to use for transporting supplies and personnel within a small area. of.

And thanks to the kingdom's policies, these things are also deliberately popularized in the civilian field. Coupled with the criss-crossing sea, land and air transportation routes, covering almost the entire Europe, it can be said that any citizen can go anywhere in a short time.

It is said that this trend has occurred not only in Europe, but also all over the world. Therefore, many people are very optimistic and feel that within this century, the whole world will be connected and human beings will be able to travel across the entire planet.

However, the vast majority of people only know this, and their own concepts have not been able to keep up with the rapid development. Having experienced war, famine, and various disasters, they all have a deep understanding of traveling away from home. Deep rejection and fear.

Even if it comes directly from the official dispatch arrangement, many people are not willing to go too far away from their place of residence if it is not necessary, at least ordinary people are not willing.

So, this group of people feels really problematic... The soldier squinted his eyes and looked at the group of people in front of him.

They didn't look like ordinary people, but they didn't look like businessmen running around for profit. Moreover, they were all empty-handed, not to mention any goods, and they didn't even bring any luggage.

This was one of the doubts, and it was also the main factor that made the soldiers suspicious in the first place. After careful observation, more problems were discovered.

For example, the temperament of this group of people is very special. Many of them seem to be "soldiers" who have experienced hundreds of battles. Although they all appear calm and quiet at the moment, the feeling of being well-trained will not disappear.

Considering that those damn rebels seem to be active again recently, it is said that one of the kingdom's shipping routes suffered heavy losses, and even aroused the king's anger, and sanctioned him with a holy spear from the royal capital...

The soldier suddenly became more vigilant. The more he looked at this group of people, the more suspicious he became. He was already inclined to suspect that they were rebels. Maybe they came here to seize the airship this time.

Under the soldier's sharp gaze and pointed questions, the people on the Chaldean side naturally faltered and made many mistakes.

Although Fujimaru Ritsuka and others had heard Scathach talk about many related things in advance, they were not really natives of this singularity after all.

Just like an endorsement, it was difficult to actually put that intelligence information to use, and when faced with some inquiries, their subconscious hesitation, pause, and hesitation became increasingly obvious signs of suspicion.

The atmosphere gradually became tense.

Even the staff of Chaldea who were monitoring in real time in the 21st century, including Dr. Roman, were sweating subconsciously.

The other guards seemed to have noticed something was wrong. Some reached out and pressed the hilt of the sword at their waists, and walked over quickly. Others picked up magic ceremonials that seemed to be specially used for communication, seemingly to prepare to notify others.

"You are too vigilant. This is not a good thing..."

She probably didn't expect to encounter such vigilant scrutiny. Scathach finally couldn't help but sigh. She took a step forward, gently raised a slender palm, and waved it in front of her.

The sharp-eyed and extremely vigilant soldier's eyes suddenly became dazed, as if he had lost the focus of his vision, but he recovered after only a second.

Then he seemed to have lost interest in the group of people in front of him. He lowered his head and briefly flipped through the documents he had read many times, then casually compared the people in front of him, and then returned the documents with lack of interest. , let them board the airship.

It seemed that he had suddenly forgotten what had just happened. Even the doubts and vigilance that had arisen in his heart were forcibly eliminated by some mysterious force, as if they had been wiped off the paper by an eraser. The handwriting is out of alert state.

And the same goes for other people around him, and the upcoming storm disappeared.

They even thought that the speed at which this large group of people boarded the airship was too slow, so they waved their hands repeatedly, urging these people to move faster——

"Hurry up!"

"What's taking you so long? Is there any problem?"

"Don't be stuck on the gangway, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up... Stop looking around, I'm talking about you! We are about to set off..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka took a long breath and quickly passed the gangway first and boarded the huge airship, followed closely by the others.

Looking around on the deck, the girl discovered that the airship was similar to modern aircraft in appearance, but was actually different. For example, the pod under the hull was not very small, but rather very huge.

It is more than a hundred meters long from beginning to end, like a big ship hanging in the air. She didn't realize it when she looked at it from a distance before, but now after boarding this behemoth and observing it up close, she realized how amazing this thing was.

It is simply a heavy weapon. It is unimaginable that in such an era, there is a country that has the ability to produce, construct and maintain such a thing, and it has begun mass production. Although the scale is not large, it is obviously increasing the number steadily.

"Huh, it's really dangerous..." Mashu also looked around and patted his chest reassuringly, "There was almost something wrong."

Mordred curled his lips indifferently beside her: "I don't know what to be afraid of. At worst, we can just snatch this aircraft over...and in the end we still have to use magic to solve the problem, and It’s better to be simpler from the beginning.”

She felt that this was simply unnecessary.

"Using magic such as suggestion and control can indeed solve problems directly, and it can even be more convenient. I don't deny this."

Scathach answered calmly. She explained to everyone the necessity of doing this, saying that this approach was the truly wise choice.

"But coveting temporary convenience may have planted the seeds of hidden dangers in the future. The degree of popularization and application of magic in this world is far beyond your imagination. Basically, all ordinary people have more or less magic power."

In modern times, people with magic qualifications are rare talents worth a lot of effort to discover and cultivate. However, in this era, everyone has it. It is just a matter of the upper limit. It is as common as eating and drinking.

On the contrary, people who have no magic power at all are particularly rare examples.

Living in such an era, even though he has adapted to such an environment, he is still a magic insulator. Isn't such an unreasonable thing worthy of attention?

"As you all know, as long as people have magic circuits, they often have magic resistance that can deflect hypnosis, curses and other interference magic. Although these people are not as exaggerated as gradually forming their own magic circuits the day after tomorrow, but in the Gradually adapting to the changes in this environment, their physiques still changed."

The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows pointed at the soldiers behind her.

"Able to adapt to the magic environment of the complete Gods. They breathe and bathe in extremely rich magic at all times. Even without magic circuits, their overall physiques are similar to filters. They can absorb magic from the outside world to a greater or lesser extent. Therefore, It also naturally has characteristics similar to magic circuits..."

"Huh? Doesn't that mean..." Fujimaru Ritsuka was slightly startled.

"That's right, if you had just used Ritsuka to perform magic such as suggestion and hypnosis, it might not have any effect..." the queen said calmly, "interfering with magic may not be able to overcome their own resistance to magic. .”
