I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

As Xia Ya finished speaking, the wine cellar was quiet for a while.

Nico slowly raised his head, wondering if he had heard wrongly.

"What?"

"I did find something."

Xia Ya slowly stood up and walked behind the sofa. There was a curtain there. He slowly opened the curtain, revealing the scene behind it. Behind it was a large painting.

Yes, a pure painting, framed, looks exquisite.

"The situation was too urgent and there was a storm, so I didn't have time to take out the camera to take pictures. I could only draw the situation based on my memory." Xia Ya said.

Nico and Nauda stared blankly at the scene in front of them.

That is not a sky island, to be precise, it is a cloud.

A spiral cloud was different from the other clouds, like a huge jar, floating in the sky. In the clouds, there was a raging storm, with thunder and lightning shining in it.

Nico had never seen such a raging storm. Faintly, he could even see some dragon-like lights and shadows flowing in the storm.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the protruding part of the branches at the top of the clouds, which are full of green - that is not something that would appear in a storm at all.

Nico thought of the giant tree in the old photo his uncle had taken.

Suddenly, Nico suddenly realized that the picture in front of him was just a motionless oil painting, not even a photo.

"Your painting skills are so good." Nauda sighed, "It's just like the real thing."

"Have you really seen it with your own eyes?" Nico asked.

"Of course." Xia Ya raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did I lie to you?"

Nico continued, "How did you find it?"

His tone was a little urgent, with a kind of suppressed excitement.

"There is some luck involved." Xia Ya returned to his position, "I encountered a storm and was blown here."

"My uncle also encountered a storm." Nico thought thoughtfully.

"So, do you need my airship?" Xia Ya said.

Nico was silent for a moment and said, "I'm not someone who would trouble others."

He smiled bitterly, "But I think this is the best way."

"You don't have to think too much." Xia Ya said, "For me, this is just a piece of cake."

"Want to rest for a while before leaving?" he asked.

"They are definitely still looking for us around now. It's only a matter of time before they find us here."

"I don't think you should worry about this." Xia Ya said quietly.

"We are already very grateful that you saved us." Nico said seriously, "We can't cause you any more trouble."

Xia Ya shrugged and did not continue speaking. He just stood up silently and said, "Follow me."

With that said, he led them away from here and walked back to the tavern. He led the two of them through the corridor on the side of the tavern, came to the castle, and opened the door to the courtyard.

But what this door leads to is not the courtyard, but the back of the row of houses that Nico and the others passed through when they fled.

Behind is a large plain, and in the distance are continuous mountains.

In the courtyard at the back door, there is an empty boat docked.

Different from the elegant clipper he imagined, this was just a wooden cabin with an old scarlet airbag bolted to it and a set of rusty engine pods. Like it was pieced together from garbage.

"It hasn't been used for a long time." Xia Ya said, "I don't know if it can still be started."

Char led them up the gangplank and into the long and narrow cabin that was filled with the smell of dust. As the gentleman said, this empty boat looked like it had not been used for a long time.

This cabin is just a narrow wooden pipe with a flight deck at the front, cabins at the rear, and a series of other messy small cabins in the middle.

They had to stay in a semi-crouched position to avoid hitting their heads against the hanging cabinets and the dangerous-looking bundles of wires hanging from the dashboard above the cabin.

"Are you sure you can control this ship?" Char said.

"I'll study it for a while."

Nico fumbled on the console, then turned on some switches and pulled up some controls. Then various electronic instruments lit up with a dark green light, filling the cabin with light like an aquarium.

"That's it," Nico said.

"A week ago, I wanted to take a long trip, but I was delayed by some things. So there is still some food in the cabin, and there is water in the water tank. They are all clean. You can use them as you like without worrying about it. The fuel is also filled up." Char said.

Nico looked at Char, "Then do you want to go with us?"

"I'm old and can't bear the trouble." Xia Ya said with a smile.

"Thank you." Nico said again, "I will return your airship safely. If you meet my father coming to see me, explain my situation to him."

"No problem." Xia Ya said.

He turned and left here.

Nico pulled the last lever, and the creaking and exhaling sounds of the valves began to echo throughout the cabin.

Xia Ya just stood in the courtyard, quietly watching the empty boat rise slowly.

The fireplace behind him slowly rotated, and Calcifer on the hearth looked at the empty boat with the flickering firelight.

"Can this thing made from garbage really fly?"

"Why can't it fly?" Xia Ya said displeasedly, "The silicon airbag comes from a clipper ship of Beichen, and the twin-engine Carlo aviation engine comes from a gunboat of Britannia. They are all the best. You can go to the trash. Can we find these things?"

Perhaps it was Hal's fate that distorted part of Char's aesthetics.

Just look at Moving Castle and you will know that Chara particularly likes this patchwork punk style, which he calls "artistic".

This Sky Court was made by him himself, and he had some mechanical knowledge after recovering Tony's fate.

Calcifer flickered the firelight without words...

……

As it rose into the sky, Nauda felt his stomach turn.

She stumbled to a porthole and saw that the town below seemed to be falling downwards, like a model of a town on display in a museum.

She saw Jackman and others, who were nearby, next to the airship factory, and seemed to have expected that they would choose to leave in the airship.

This is quite normal. Among them is Jerry, a local, who is very aware of Nico's abilities and his relationship with the airship factory.

Suddenly, he seemed to notice something, and slowly raised his head to look at the sky.

Nauda hid suddenly, her heart beating violently, and she didn't know if they saw it.

"What's wrong with you?" Jerry asked curiously, realizing that Jackman seemed to have discovered something.

"Whose airship is that?" Jackman raised his finger and pointed to the sky.

Jerry raised his head and found an empty boat floating in the sky.
