Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 253 Failed Heart-to-Heart Talk

The steam airship that was emitting billowing black smoke, with a loud rumbling sound, slid across a black line of dirty exhaust gas in the sky, heading into the distance.

At first, Angor was still blowing the wind while standing on the deck, recalling the past comfortably.But not long after, dirty fuel black smoke filled the deck, and all the people on the deck returned to the airship in an instant.

Angel followed the flow of people back to the airship, Promi returned to his lounge, and Angel chatted with David in the hall. There was a circle of transparent glass in the hall, so you could clearly see the situation outside.At this time, one side of the outside world was already covered by black smoke.

Angor looked at the billowing black smoke, but he could still smell the pungent smell faintly, and he also felt the floor under his feet was constantly vibrating, giving him the illusion that the airship would disintegrate at any time.

Seeing the worry on Angel's face, David smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, this airship has been like this since I bought it. It has a lot of sewage, weak maneuverability, and the engine is still shaking. There will be no problems. .”

"It's much worse than the Wilderness." Angel frowned slightly.

"That's for sure. The Wilderness was ordered from the Sky Machinery City within the organization, and this airship was purchased privately. Both the price and the channel are weaker."

With David's explanation, Angel understood the difference between the Savage and this airship.

It turns out that almost all the airships parked at the port of Windmill Town are privately operated. The owner of this airship is a third-level wizard apprentice. He bought the airship to earn the ticket price.Because the speed is not fast, so only take the short route.

After David finished speaking, he pointed out the window: "Look at those people."

Angel followed and saw several people passing by in the sky in the distance.Some fly with spells, while others ride directly on vehicles. You can see people riding magic pets galloping across the vast ground.

"Those who know how to fly can fly by themselves, or those who have transportation vehicles can also go by themselves." David said with emotion: "After a while, I will also go to the resource allocation hall to buy a flying vehicle. It takes less than a day from the Savage Cave to Night Devil City, which is much faster than the train."

"Why don't you try to learn flying skills?" Angel asked.

David shook his head: "Flying requires too much knowledge. I want to learn it from scratch. It may take several years. Moreover, the price of the technique is also expensive. I don't plan to consider it before I advance to the third-level apprenticeship." Learning to fly."

"But you don't need to buy a flying vehicle, you can make it yourself." Angel recalled the scene when he met David for the first time: "If you continue to research your screw aircraft, it can be used as a flying vehicle ?"

Mentioning the spiral aircraft, David's face shy: "That is just a purely mechanical device, it can't carry people."

"Let's study it slowly." Angel actually plans to study flying vehicles in his heart, but it's just an idea for the time being. For the specific situation, he has to go back and read the "Basic Alchemy Collection". He remembers that there are several kinds of flying vehicles in it. engine, but the scope of application is unclear.

"I also want to study it slowly, but the Frost Moon Passage leading to the outer edge of the abyss will be closed in three months. I have to go there before it closes, so the flying vehicle must be purchased."

The two chatted for a while, and then Angel and David said: "Yesterday I did alchemy all night, and I haven't rested yet. I'll go back to the lounge to sleep for a while, and we'll talk when we get there."

David nodded: "Okay, if you can fall asleep in this environment, I will obey you."

Stepping on the shaking floor, Angel walked towards the lounge a little dizzy.

After returning to the cabin, Angel sighed slightly, took Toby out of his pocket, and put it in his palm.

Toby flapped his wings and smoothed out the upturned feathers with his beak.

Angel also helped it smooth its rough feathers, and when it hummed comfortably, he asked in a low voice, "Where's your music box?"

Angel remembered clearly that when he went to the attic to look for Toby in the morning, he didn't see the music box.In other words, Toby left with the music box.

But when Toby came back from the outside at noon, he didn't bring back the music box. Angel thought it was strange at the time, but he kept his breath and didn't ask. Until this time, when Angel planned to have a good talk with Toby, he brought it This question came out.

Angel's sudden inquiry made Toby froze suddenly.Then he turned his head and blinked innocently, with an expression that I couldn't understand anything.

Toby resorted to the big trick of "pretending to be innocent". After all, the species were different, and it didn't want to answer, no matter how much Angor forced it.

Regarding this, Angel could only say in a good voice: "Because I have a goal in my heart, I am working hard towards this goal every day, meditating, alchemy, studying...my time is almost completely occupied by these things, even every day I rely on dry food to satisfy my hunger every day. It will indeed be boring for you to follow me all the time. I am sorry for this, and I am sorry for the entrustment of Lady Greya."

It seems that because of the mention of Greya, Toby no longer pretended not to understand, but let out a low "chirpa" with a feeling of longing.

Because Angel learned from "The Unlimited Records of the Infinite Plane" that something happened to Greya in the cold world, Angel has been hiding this news from Toby, so he has always cherished Toby in his heart. Feeling guilty.Just like at noon, Angel found out that Toby had violated the agreement in the morning, and he was not angry, and it was also because of this sense of guilt.

"So if I let you go out, I won't stop you from making friends." Angel paused after saying this, "However, what I want to tell you is that even if mortals are bound by moral laws, they are full of bad people and sins." , not to mention the wizarding world without any constraints. The vast majority of extraordinary people are motivated by profit. Even if they have not done any evil things, they are not necessarily kind. And they are cunning."

After Angor scolded the same kind, he continued to say to Toby: "You have comprehended the vein of gravity, so I am not worried about your safety, but I am worried that you will be used by others."

Toby lowered his head and remained silent.

Angel felt that his "fatherly education" should have played a role, so he gently coaxed: "You don't know much about the complexity of the human world, so when you go home this time, take me to meet your father." Little buddy, let me judge for you, how about it?"

Angel waited for Toby's response with a kind face.

After a while, Toby raised his head, but his little eyes were still full of innocence: I don't understand what you are talking about.

Seeing this, Angel wailed, and collapsed on the bed in the lounge in frustration.

"Well, since you don't listen to my advice, then you can do whatever you want. I gave you the music box, and I will let you handle it. I don't care whether you throw it away, give it away, or other things. But remember, for any Everyone should be more distracted, don't trust others completely, this is your protection."

Hearing what Angel said, Toby fluttered his wings and said a few words.

"You said, you just lent the music box to someone else?" Angel understood Toby's gesture.

Toby nodded and muttered a few more times.

"When you go back, your little friend will return the music box to you?"

Toby continued to nod.

Angel didn't speak, but he didn't have much confidence in it. Although the music box wasn't a great thing, it was at least a work of art.Moreover, even Lord Jing Ji, who stood at the pinnacle of the extraordinary world, praised this, which shows that the music box he refined still has a certain circulation value.

In the wizarding world where personal interests are paramount, will someone else return something with circulation value to you after they get it?
Anyway, Angor didn't expect much.

But he didn't point it out, but nodded to Toby: "That's good, after all, I have spent a lot of thought on the music box I made for you."

Having said that, Angel decided to wait until after Twilight Well to buy some Echo Flowers, and after Toby was severely educated by "the indifference of reality", he would make a new music box for Toby.

To Angel, Toby is his closest friend.It is also a good thing that a music box can make Toby realize the reality of the wizarding world.

In any case, Angor will not burst the bubble of the fairy tale himself, he hopes that Toby can grow up by himself.It can be regarded as living up to Greiya's trust.

The heart-to-heart talk with Toby, while somewhat effective, was a failure overall.But Angel is not worried. Only after experiencing many things by himself can he understand the truth that others say that it is useless even if it is extravagant.

Time passed, and three hours later, when the distant sky was filled with red, the airship finally arrived at its destination.

Angel took a nap for a while, so when he got off the airship, he felt much more refreshed.

The place where the airship landed was in the middle of a slope of about 30 degrees.There is a wide flat land here, and the airship is parked in the middle of the flat land.

I didn't feel much on the airship, but after getting off the airship, Angel felt a chill.

Although it is midsummer now, the Pamiji Plateau has a low temperature all year round. From the whiteness on the hillside, it can be seen that today is actually a good weather, at least there is no snow.

Angel noticed that there were some circular bunker-like buildings on the flat land, and there were two dark caves near the mountain wall, and a railway track connected the two caves.

David walked over with Prome at this time.

"It only takes half an hour to take the earth-centered train from here to Daredevil City. Let's wait for a while. The apprentice of the private airship has contacted the train management station of Daredevil City. We have landed now, and the train should arrive soon. Into the station."

Not long after Promi finished speaking, bursts of smoke came out of the cave, accompanied by the smoke, the sound of the wheels turning, and the long roar of the train as if boiling water was pouring over the roof.
