Chapter 508 509. Ship on the clouds

The dwarf apprentice told Roy that air superiority was the most important factor restricting the development of magic airships.

Never try to open a channel in this area without mastering the sky in this area.

The Green Empire was able to develop magic airship shipping because the Green Empire owned the Royal Griffith Knights.

In fact, the Silver Moon Elves should not have such troubles. After all, the Silver Moon Elves also control the flying army Silver Pegasus Legion.

In the eyes of the dwarf apprentices, the elves do not need to worry about the flying monsters attacking the magic airship.

Roy is not worried about the flying monsters in the Partington plane, but it is not because his Silver Pegasus Legion can provide such air support to the Partington plane, but because he has one in his hand. A griffin cavalry regiment.

At present, his gryphon cavalry regiment has grown to more than 700 gryphon cavalry, which can almost form a flying army.

In the Padstow Forest, Griffin Barrier Mountains, Padstow Plateau and Sun Island Bay in the Partington plane, this griffon cavalry regiment is considered the most powerful flying force.

As for the Blackwater Swamp, Roy really has no intention of setting foot in that area for the time being, not only because of the countless poisonous horned black anacondas lurking in the Blackwater Swamp, but also because of the group of dragon flies deep in the swamp.

Right now, Roy is focusing on three areas: Pagisto Plateau, Griffin Barrier Mountains, and Sun Island Bay.

The reason why Roy sets his sights here is mainly because the plateau has rich mining resources, and Sun Island Bay has high-quality fishery resources. Combined with the large orchards around Padstow City, it can form the most perfect place. A comfort zone suitable for elves to live in.

This is also the main reason why Roy is determined to take back this natural fishing ground.

In this way, the Padstow Plateau will have sufficient supplies of supplies and will not be overly dependent on Woods supplies in Padstow City...

…

The Roland continent described by the dwarf apprentice is a prosperous place.

This reminded Roy of what High Priest Reed once said. High Priest Reed also said to Roy: If you have the chance, you must go to Roland Continent to see it.

"I must go to Roland Continent if I have the chance." Roy stood aside and vowed to the dwarf apprentice.

The magic airship entered the clouds, surrounded by heavy fog, and the humid air quickly wet the entire magic airship.

All twelve floating devices on the airship were turned on, and the magic pattern arrays emitted a faint blue light.

Four dwarf apprentices took turns coming to the console, chatting with Roy, and introducing the mixed elf students to various matters that should be paid attention to when the magic airship takes off.

"In fact, as long as you try to avoid the thunderstorm area when passing through the clouds, the control will be very simple. Just try to avoid those cumulonimbus clouds."

A dwarf apprentice said naively.

When the magic airship passes through the clouds, the scenery in front of you is like a fairyland.

The clouds under your feet feel like you can walk on them, more like a ground paved with countless snow-white cotton.

When the airship rises here, you can feel the dazzling sunlight above the clouds, but at this time, a beloved apprentice is already standing on the deck holding an anemometer to measure the wind speed and direction...

"Are you going to continue to rise?" Roy pursed his lips and said.

"We are looking for the wind current layer! After flying up to the clouds, we actually have to measure the wind direction on the ship, so that we can find a channel to the plateau city..."

The dwarf apprentice replied.

After hovering for nearly a quarter of an hour, the magic airship continued to increase in height.

Although it's sunny here, it's also very cold.

These dwarf apprentices are very familiar with this magic airship.

Under their skillful control, the magic airship finally entered the wind layer.

The biting cold wind chilled Roy a little. He stood on the deck and stared at several dwarf apprentices. After the magic airship entered the wind layer, they were not in a hurry to raise the sails.

Instead, he quickly ran to the bow of the ship, opened the secret compartment below the deck, and took out a roll of canvas.

The two dwarf apprentices walked to the left and right ends of the deck and quickly pulled the canvas apart, allowing the strong wind to swell the canvas.

Roy found that the sail was more like a parachute bag. It was blown up by the strong wind in an instant and quickly detached from the hull...

This is a spinnaker. When the spinnaker flew out of the hull, it quickly straightened the somewhat swaying magic airship in the wind layer...

According to the dwarf apprentice, this spinnaker determines the flight direction of the airship.

Then three triangular sails were pulled out, and the bow of the magic airship faced the direction of the wind in the wind layer, and began to be blown by the wind.

Seeing that the magic airship gradually became stable, the dwarf apprentices raised the sails under the three masts.

The propulsion devices on the left and right sides of the magic airship currently only serve to assist the magic airship in adjusting its flight direction.

In the wind layer, it was impossible to turn around, not even a turn of more than ten degrees. The entire magic airship was blown away by the wind.

Entering the Honkai Mountains, the Nicobar Mountains, and finally the Gasai Mountains and the wilderness appeared in the distance...

It took the magic airship three days to finally arrive at the plateau city in the hinterland of Pagisto Plateau.

The journey took about the same amount of time as a gryphon, but sitting in the cabin was much more comfortable than riding on a gryphon.

Roy did not stop at the Plateau City, but dropped half of the supplies on the ship, and then immediately flew towards Sun Island Bay.

…

At this time, a caravan happened to be walking along the Tuolai River, along a road along the river, heading towards the plateau city.

There are also several Silver Moon Elf merchants in the caravan, and they are considered outsiders traveling together.

According to their own introduction, when they heard about such a business opportunity in Castletown City, they immediately decided to go to the Partington plane to look for business opportunities...

"Have you transported supplies here more than once? How long will it take to sell the goods you brought here?" A Silver Moon Elf merchant asked the leader of the business group.

"We will stay in the plateau city for five days. Regardless of whether the goods are sold out or not, we will return to Padstow." The leader of the business group said casually.

"What to do with the rest of the goods?"

"Sell it to the Mine Guard Group. They will pay a price slightly higher than the market price to collect all the materials shipped from Padstow City..." the person in charge of the business group said honestly.

At this time, an elf in the caravan pointed to the sky and shouted:

"Look, everyone, look quickly. There is a three-masted sailboat floating in the sky."

This sentence attracted everyone's attention. All the elves resting by the river raised their heads. Sure enough, there was a huge ship in the sky slowly leaving the plateau city...

"What is that?" some elves asked curiously.
