Master Tongtian

Chapter 310 A petrified giant ship like a hill (13)

dusk.

Golden Grand Canal.

The days are short in late winter. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is close to the horizon, dyeing the clouds in the sky a gorgeous fiery red, like a burning wave.

A huge ship from the east is slowly lining up on the canal.

This boat is very special. There are no trackers pulling fibers along the banks of the river, and there are no sails on the boat. Its biggest feature is that it is big, as big as a hill.

Even the largest wooden sailboat is like a hound meeting an elephant. There is almost an order of magnitude difference in size.

To say it is a moving hill is not an exaggeration at all.

This ship is extremely long, 130 meters long, and the deck is also extremely wide, more than 40 meters long.

This width has exceeded the capacity limit of the canal, but the hull is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, taking the shape of an inverted triangle with a great slope, so the bottom of the ship can just pass through the canal less than 30 meters wide.

What's strange is that the hull of the ship is more than 20 meters high. Although it is such a huge thing, its draft is very shallow, less than 4 meters.

In the eyes of people with a little experience in water transportation, it feels like the boat is not floating on the water, but half-floating and half-flying above the water.

When such a giant car drives along the canal, it naturally attracts the attention of countless passers-by.

The ship was covered with gold-rimmed and blue-backed storm flags, indicating that it was the property of the Storm Duke of the East.

As a result, everyone was amazed and envious of the incredible material wealth and magical achievements of the Eastern Realm.

On the uppermost deck of the giant ship, Princess Heya Jiali of the East was standing on the edge of the ship's rail, looking at the spectacle of fire clouds in the horizon.

The cold wind blowing against my face was completely blocked by the power of the spell, and the hustle and bustle of the world was completely shaken off by the height of the giant ship, so I could only enjoy the leisurely mood of admiring the beautiful scenery.

Of course, no matter where the Princess of the East goes, she never walks alone.

Beside her stood a group of confidant maids, each beautiful and powerful, including both mages and warriors. The strongest one is a level 6 warrior, only 32 years old, named Leliana.

Surrounding the maid were a group of accompanying young noble masters.

The status of the young masters is not low. Their fathers are all high nobles, either marquis or earl, and they all have titles given by gods.

The person is either the heir to the title, or a talent that the family spent a lot of money to cultivate.

They are all mages, twelve in number, all under the age of 30, all with high-level magic achievements, some even at the peak of high-level, just one step away from being the ultimate geniuses who can break through the master barrier.

Anyone of lower rank would be embarrassed to stand next to the princess.

Among them, the second son of the Marquis of Broken Leaf City and the high-level peak mage Olsson was among them.

He even stood next to the princess, less than 4 meters away.

After admiring the beautiful scenery for a while, Heya Jiali turned around and looked at the young noble mage accompanying her.

"Everyone, you have been sitting here for three days. Can you tell me what you think about this giant petrified ship?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, the aristocratic young men who were a little loose immediately gathered their energy.

Olsson had been preparing, and then he coughed lightly and spoke loudly.

"I have to say that using petrified architecture to build a ship is an extremely genius idea, and using gravity as a new power source for ships is an even better idea."

"The combination of the two will immediately free the shipbuilding industry from its huge dependence on giant trees and weather, and greatly improve the size of ships."

"I boldly predict that once this kind of petrified giant ship is widely promoted, the prosperity of our Eastern Territory will definitely reach a higher level, reaching a level that other territories can't even imagine!"

This summary is very beautiful.

Heya Jiali clapped her hands gently in praise, with a faint smile on her face: "Master Olson said it very well, and fully expressed my expectations."

Olsson was very excited to receive the praise, but he still did not forget to flatter him: "All great achievements belong to the Duke."

"Great cause?"

Heya Jiali shook her head.

"It can only be regarded as a fairly good innovation, but it is far from a great achievement."

"For example, the construction cost remains high, and the driving cost is also ridiculously high. I'm afraid it will be difficult to promote in the foreseeable future."

In order to launch this super giant ship weighing more than 6,000 divins and enable it to pass through the Golden Grand Canal, the ship was equipped with 3,000 mid-to-high-level mages, who consumed a large number of potions and magic weapons, and took turns to ensure that the ship could always Suspended driving.

Once the mage's mana cannot keep up, the power to maintain the suspension of the ship will disappear immediately, and then the giant ship will immediately sink, breaking the bottom of the ship and damaging the Grand Canal.

The cost is too high. I am afraid that only the Duke of the East can afford the all-gold land.

In fact, Heya Jiali strongly disagrees with such a move, thinking it is both dangerous and wasteful.

But this is her father's will, and she can only obey it.

Another noble young master said: "Your Highness's concerns are not unreasonable, but good things in this world are all made from bad things."

Before he finished speaking, Olsson immediately scolded: "Master Salas, how arrogant are you to say that the petrified ship is a bad thing?!"

Master Salas' expression froze and he apologized hastily.

"Your Highness, please forgive my faux pas. I mean, this ship is very good, but it can be better. It just needs time to settle."

After speaking, he glanced at Olson secretly, and a trace of anger flashed in his heart.

He was not surprised that the other party was looking for trouble, because he was the third son of Marquis Denduo, the lord of Bibo City.

Suiye City and Bibo City are neighbors, and they both live on the banks of the Hanshui River. The two cities have had many conflicts over shipping matters, and their friendship is very ordinary. They only maintain a superficial harmony.

In fact, a few days ago, his father had a quarrel with Seraf over the matter of the Northern Crescent Territory.

Because Seraf blocked Crescent Territory's ship, many customers in Bibo City went bankrupt due to the loss of supply.

Heya Jiali turned a blind eye to the secret fight between the two and smiled faintly.

"Master Salas, there is no need to apologize. I understand what you mean, and I sincerely hope that our Eastern Region will also have a few geniuses like Liushu Masters who can fundamentally solve the power problem of the petrified ship."

At this time, the third noble mage, the high-level mage Yuragang from the Langley family in White Sand City, expressed his opinion with a smile.

"Your Highness, I think that at this stage, we can completely use the combination of sails and gravity. When the wind is favorable, the sails will be set up. The wind will be the main force and gravity will be the supplement. When the wind is against the wind, the reverse will be done. This can also greatly reduce the threshold for promotion."

Heya Jiali's eyes lit up slightly and she nodded happily.

"Master Yuragang's idea has really come into effect and can truly solve the problem. It is very valuable."

Yoragon was overjoyed, but he was a handsome man with a graceful demeanor and a deep temperament. No matter how happy he was, his face was calm and calm.

At this time, he smiled and saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Before he finished speaking, a violent sound of wind and thunder suddenly came from the sky.

Everyone's attention was immediately attracted and they followed the sound.

Then they discovered a strange black shadow coming from behind the side of the giant ship, about 500 meters above the ground, rushing towards them at an incredible speed.

In an instant, the black shadow was 300 meters away on the right side of the giant ship.

I saw that it was wrapped in a mysterious white mist like a long white gauze dress, and I couldn't see its specific appearance.

‘Boom, boom, boom~’

Its turbulent wind and thunder resounded throughout the heaven and earth, several times more shocking than the most violent thunder.

A moment later, the air waves set off by the black shadow crossed a distance of several hundred meters and hit the giant ship, causing the blue-based and gold-edged ducal flag on the ship's pole to crackle and tremble.

Look at that dark shadow again.

One moment he was still on the side of the ship, and the next moment he was far away, reaching the horizon, illuminated by the setting sun, and reflecting with the fire clouds in the sky.

All the mages were shocked.

Lelianna, the princess's personal maid, even raised her kryptonite shield and guarded His Highness behind her.

"What it is?"

"Is it an extraordinary giant bird?"

"This is the middle realm, aren't you afraid of divine punishment?"

Amidst the confused discussions, the 'monster' illuminated by the setting sun drew a semicircle in the sky, turned around and flew straight towards the giant ship.

At this time, everyone on the deck of the giant ship was a little panicked.

"Protect His Highness~~"

"Here he comes, he's coming to us, guards, where are the guards?"

"Quick, quick, Your Highness, let's hide in the cabin."

Although they were all high-level mages, facing this terrifying extraordinary thing, they immediately showed their weakness as mortals.

Compared to the panic of others, Heya Jiali was much calmer.

She stared at the monster that was getting closer, and realized that it might not be an extraordinary giant bird, but a man-made thing.

Because she saw the glass window.

Looking at the monster again, as the distance continues to shorten, the speed is getting slower and slower, and the height is getting lower and lower.

Gradually, the speed dropped to the same level as the giant ship. From the ship, the monster seemed to be hovering motionless at a height of a hundred meters.

While everyone was wondering, a group of spiritual voices came from the sky.

"Your Highness Heya Jiali, the Northern Mage Rosen Ferrand pays tribute to you."

Upon hearing this, the noble mages were shocked, with incredible expressions on their faces.

No one thought that this strange thing showing extraordinary speed would be a man-made object, and that the driver would be a legendary master of the golden land.

Heya Jiali was also very shocked and felt her heart pounding violently, but she was a princess after all and had seen big scenes, so she managed to keep her face calm.

She also used a collective voice: "Is this the master's new magic weapon?"

The response came quickly.

"It's just a gravitational weapon, not worth mentioning. I'm a little tired after flying for a long time. I see that His Highness's ship is very spacious. I wonder if you can let me pause for a while?"

Heya Jiali smiled and said: "Master is here, Jiali is very happy. Come, please clear the front of the deck for the master to dock the magic weapon."

Soon, the debris on the bow deck was cleared.

"Master, you can stop."

As a result, the graceful flying object made a smooth turning movement in the sky, and stopped on the deck in one go.

‘Click~~’

The door of the flying object was pushed open, and a man came out.

All the noble mages on the upper deck immediately focused their eyes on it, wanting to see the true appearance of this master of flow.

Heya Jiali also subconsciously took half a step forward, leaning on the railing of the upper deck, leaning forward slightly, squinting her eyes to take a closer look at the man who came out.

He is very young and very tall, nearly 1.8 meters tall. He has a strong and muscular figure, and he wears a high-quality bearskin armor that is fully stretched. He does not have the thinness of an ordinary mage at all, but looks a bit like a samurai.

Look at the face again.

He has black hair, dark blue eyes, sharp outlines, and is a bit juvenile. His facial features are not exquisite, but they are not ugly either. When combined together, they show a very unique rugged charm.

What is truly impressive is his eyes. His dark blue eyes are as deep as the ocean, and there seems to be hidden wisdom in seeing the world.

After the man stepped out of the strange flying object, he took a few steps forward. After a quick scan of the upper deck, his eyes settled on Heya Jiali.

He slightly bowed his head and performed the courtesy of a lower noble, then raised his head and smiled: "Your Highness, your grace is really impressive."

At this time, Heya Jiali was wearing a waistcoat and trousers that were convenient for movement, similar to what she wore in the horse riding picture that day.

The bright, majestic, noble and charming qualities are mixed together to show an extremely touching temperament.

Mature as a royal sister, charming as a girl, noble as a queen, one look at her will make her unforgettable in this life.

At this moment, the eyes of both parties touched each other from a distance of more than 20 meters.

After touching it, Heya Jiali lowered her eyes slightly.

Although he already knew the other person's appearance from his subordinates, and even saw photos of the other person's appearance, the real person was a hundred times more dynamic than the still picture.

The heartbeat that had just been calm suddenly accelerated, and a warm current surged in the chest, making it feel numb.

But then, there was a surge of resentment.

This annoying guy actually rejected his love in the letter.

Just thinking about it makes me feel embarrassed.
