There are two royal children in the team. Although safety issues must be considered, it is not without benefits.
At least for transportation, we no longer have to wait for commercial flights.
Originally, the third princess planned to fly out the king's special vehicle, a super-large airship built for the royal family by Ryūryūin as the "prototype" of the Dragon Sense Ship.
But doing so will draw too much attention to their trip to the dusty city, and trouble will ensue.
In order to balance comfort and convenience, they finally selected a luxuriously decorated medium-to-large airship as a means of transportation from the aircraft owned by the royal family.
With a wide hull and a decentralized multi-airbag design, although the speed is not very fast, it is full of safety and comfort. The cabin floor is also covered with soft and expensive carpets, so that passengers can hardly feel that they are floating in the sky.
Hunters who usually use airships as aerial vehicles feel for the first time that riding on an airship can be a pleasure in itself.
It takes about two days for a conventional small airboat to travel from East Doruma to Loklak. This one is more stable but slower and takes three days and two nights.
Thanks to the extraordinary riding experience of the luxury airship, this period of time was not difficult. Feng Ying even wished she could lie down for a few more days.
But Gordon just wanted to get off the boat early, and he was entangled.
In the past two days, the second prince had been following him almost every step of the way, asking questions, and wanted to ask him for sword skills.
To be honest, the second prince's swordsmanship was good, even outstanding, but the training he received since childhood was in two completely different systems from that of a hunter.
The knight's sword he was good at was only less than one meter including the hilt. If a two-handed swordsman or a single-handed swordsman were here, he might be able to barely exchange a few words.
But what Gordon is good at is the big sword that only hunters can use, which has no reference significance at all.
Gordon patiently explained to him, but the passionate prince simply wouldn't listen. He even proposed a competition to let him experience the difference between the two swordsmanships.
Gordon decisively refused.
This fight is not appropriate whether you win or lose, so how can we discuss it? A training sword without an open edge weighs dozens of kilograms, and it cannot be wielded without sufficient strength, but once it is swung.
Shooting with the sword will kill someone.
However, the second prince, like his sister the third prince, has a character that will never give up until the goal is achieved.
Back then, the third princess issued a mission to find a hunter to capture the lava dragon, just to compete with her brother who could "catch" the bigger fish.
Although the final winner was the third prince, the rivalry between siblings would be to this extent, and it goes without saying about the character of the second prince.
For a swordsmanship competition, he pestered Gordon on the airship for two days and two nights.
Seeing that he was about to arrive at his destination in about half a day, in order to avoid being pestered after disembarking and ruining his hard-won vacation, Gordon decided to fulfill the second prince's wish.
He himself had no intention of participating, as his great sword skills really couldn't be used against humans.
So he called for Hayata.
Hayata didn't seem to be in a good mood. She heard that he wanted to beat him and compete with the second prince in swordsmanship, so she agreed without hesitation.
Carrying a two-meter-long wooden stick, he came to the fairly spacious front deck and kindly reminded the second prince to put on his armor.
The second prince was somewhat reluctant, but under the strict supervision of the escort Miss Prima, he had to equip himself with a full set of armor, even his helmet.
Even so, his end was still miserable.
Facing Hayata's "Odachi" slashed down with a vertical slash, he put up his wooden sword and tried to defend himself, but was knocked down to the ground with his sword.
A wooden stick made of ordinary material could not break through the defense of his knight's armor, but it still made him dizzy.
The second prince, who didn't understand why he couldn't even take a sword, didn't believe in evil, shook his head and got up, asking for another fight.
Then he was chopped down over and over again. The third princess who was watching the battle cheered and her hands turned red.
Prima on the side sighed.
Hunters usually fight against large monsters that are countless times the size of humans, and the power of their attacks is beyond what ordinary people can match.
If the second prince dodges carefully and maneuvers with a flexible pace, he may still be able to win.
In a head-to-head encounter, how could he defeat the hunter?
Hayata finally chopped the sticks into pieces and went back to the cabin humming a tune, leaving the second prince lying on the deck doubting life.
Under Feng Ying's instigation, the third princess approached her brother who was lying on the ground, and began to challenge her from a high position, "Zhayu ja~, didn't you say that your swordsmanship is the best in the world? Don't talk about Miss Hayata, I think you are Even Elu can't beat ja!"
The second prince couldn't bear the humiliation and jumped up.
Find Pork Chop and try to prove that he can at least beat Elu.
However, he usually competed with swordsmanship instructors and knights of the kingdom. He had no experience in dealing with opponents who were less than his own waist height, so he was caught off guard and was defeated miserably again.
This scene was recorded by the third princess with a camera, and she was afraid that it would become a stain on the prince's life.
Gordon didn't bother to pay attention to how entangled and lost the second prince was. He only knew that he was finally free!
After playing a few games of chess with Hayata and chatting for a while, time flowed so fast that Gordon felt that only ten minutes had passed.
It wasn't until Anhil called them to the deck that they realized it was getting dark.
The moonlit sea of sand takes on a velvety hazy blue-gray color.
In the distance, the huge rock platform dotted with the brilliant lights of Lockak is like a piece of black opal that does not need to be carved, blooming in the center of this treasure box called the "Great Desert".
Wild yet romantic, this is the charm of the desert.
"Wow!" Feng Ying, who was here for the first time, shouted, while constantly urging the third princess holding the camera, "Shoot, snap, snap, snap!"
The third princess pressed the shutter button frantically, but Gordon smiled and took away the heavy camera, "Don't bother, it's so dark that you can't take any pictures.
Enjoy it, this is a view that you can only appreciate if you come here and see it with your own eyes. "
The third princess, who was about to get angry, blinked and turned back, trying to imprint the beautiful scenery in front of her into her memory.
The pilot of the royal airship has first-class skills. Even if it is dark, he can still land the bloated luxury airship on the airship platform steadily.
The gangway was lowered, and the third princess rushed out with a cheer.
As a guard, Prima didn't even react. Just as she was about to run wildly, a white shadow had already caught up with her and grabbed the third princess back before she could run into the crowd.
"Nice job." Prima rubbed Gale's soft chin skin and breathed a sigh of relief.
Gordon glared at Feng Ying, and Feng Ying's face froze. She ran over and put her arms around the shoulders of the third princess, then bent her arms and clamped her neck.
"Let go of me! I won't run around!"
"Ah"
Seeing that the third princess was "under control," Gordon nodded with satisfaction, and then said to everyone like a tour guide: "Come on, everyone, follow me. Let's go to the assembly hall and open the room first."
The maid looked a little hesitant, "Live in the Hunter Tavern?"
Gordon, who understood what she was worried about, chuckled and said, "Don't worry, the conference hall here is different from other places. The most high-end lake view room in the whole Loklak belongs to the guild. It is the peak season now, so it is not easy to book it." .
But it's okay, we have acquaintances here! "
