There are some beautiful cumulonimbus clouds floating in the blue sky. Paracelsus carried Ella and Amy in a hot-air balloon, floating slowly in the air.
Ella used her blue eyes to look at everything around her curiously: the earth spread out like a scroll below, the clouds that could never be reached, and the birds that flew by her.
Ella grabbed a handful of bread crumbs and fed them to the birds.
"Gu...it hurts! These birds are attacking me! Help, help!"
The birds that had eaten the crumbs in Ella's hand suddenly made a shrill cry, and then pecked Ella with their beaks like crazy.
"Go away!"
Amy threw a ball of flame at the bird that pecked the most fiercely. The bird was roasted in an instant, while the other birds that were attacking Ella ran away in fear. Amy looked at Ella who was holding her head and squatting in defense, and asked a little helplessly: "Your Majesty, what did you feed those birds?"
"What the hell! Aren't they just ordinary bread crumbs? These ungrateful guys, I want to turn them into barbecue-!"
"...Where did the breadcrumbs come from?"
"Didn't you go to the Island Republic a few days ago? I tried to make it myself for fun. But the pirates didn't want to eat it, so I fed it to the birds!"
"Sorry, I killed a good bird by mistake."
Amy knelt down with great regret, held the roasted bird in her hands, lowered her head and confessed.
"Amy——! What do you mean!"
Just as Ella was preparing to pounce on Amy, Paracelsus said from the side: "We will soon be over the island republic. For safety reasons, we'd better increase the altitude."
Ayla turned to look at Paracelsus: "How much height should I raise? Am I still afraid of them? Lower the height further. As long as their bows and arrows can't be shot, go down as much as possible! I am I want to see these traitors angry but helpless!"
"This is exactly what I like. I don't like the governor of the island republic either."
Paracelsus pushed a metal plate inward, dimming the flames that powered the balloon's flight. As a result, the entire hot air balloon gradually moved toward the ground at a slow speed.
The hot air balloon descends extremely slowly compared to the speed at which the balloon rises by throwing away the weighted stones. During this period, in order to block Ella's mouth, Amy plucked the feathers of the roasted bird and roasted it carefully over the fire, turning it into a roasted whole bird in the sense of food.
"Add more salt! Add more spice!"
While watching Amy roast the bird, Ella passed the small jars towards Amy.
Amy looked at Ella with a strange expression: "Your Majesty...why do you have these things in your hands?"
"Don't worry about such details! I just happen to have it with me!"
"Why do you happen to bring salt and spices with you when you fly in an aircraft? Your Majesty, I'm afraid you didn't come here just for the roasted bird in the first place!"
"Gu...I was just wondering if I could catch a quail..."
Ella's favorite is grilled quail.
Amy sighed and handed the roasted bird to Ella. Ella couldn't wait to tear off a calf, put it to her mouth and started to chew on it.
The hot air balloon stops after it drops to a certain height. Driven by the wind, it passed by the island republic at low altitude, attracting many passers-by to watch. The conditions of the streets of the island republic can also be seen clearly from the hot air balloon.
Ella looked at the city wall that they bypassed from the air and thought thoughtfully: "If it can not be affected by the wind direction and run faster, this can be used as a good investigative tool."
"I hope this thing will not be used for reconnaissance, but for drawing better maps." After a pause, Paracelsus shook his head again, "However, better maps will also be used for War. It’s always inevitable.”
The Governor's Palace appeared beneath the hot air balloon. Many guards had gathered on the roof, holding bows and arrows in their hands, looking at the hot air balloon Ella was riding in with some hostility.
Paracelsus sighed: "Look at these bows and arrows - even though they know they are my hot air balloons, they are still so wary. That's why I hate working for the governor of the island republic."
"Let me teach them a lesson!" Ella stuck out her head and dumped all the eaten bird bones from the hot air balloon. "Bacelisa gave this to you! Those who betrayed the Seven Hills Empire, eat the bones." Enough!"
A hail of arrows shot up, frightening Ella and hiding in the vehicle with her head in her hands. Fortunately, Paracelsus controlled the height of the hot air balloon properly, and the bows and arrows fell back to the ground before they could touch the vehicle. After the rain of arrows, Amy said slightly reproachfully: "Your Majesty, don't make such dangerous and meaningless provocations!"
Ella suddenly raised her head, her face full of confusion: "Something's wrong. Something's wrong."
"What's wrong is your Majesty! We are floating alone above the island republic now! What if we provoke them and get in danger? And it's not very lethal - even if your Majesty is throwing stones, I still think that your Majesty is serious. !”
"That's not it, Amy, something's not right."
Ella picked up a small stone for weighting, reached out of the hot air balloon, and found the right moment to throw the stone down. The stone did not hit the Governor's Mansion, and Ella's eyes became more and more confused: "Something's wrong, Amy, have you noticed, something is really wrong."
"Except for Your Majesty who is throwing objects at high altitude, I didn't find anything wrong!"
"When I just threw the stone, it was right above the Governor's Mansion!" Ella tried her best to explain to Amy what had just happened. "While the stone fell to the ground, the wind blew us forward for a certain distance, but the stone should not Did it happen to fall on the Governor's Mansion? But in fact, whether it was a bone or a stone, the two landing points were a little further forward than the position when I let go, so the stone just did not hit the Governor's Mansion at all!"
Paracelsus heard Ella's words and said worriedly: "Isn't it because the bird bones and the stones you threw are very light, and they were blown forward a certain distance by the wind?"
"In that case, you might as well give this a try!"
Ella pointed to a rock as big as her head.
"It would be difficult for the wind to blow a stone of this size. Try throwing this down!"
Paracelsus suspiciously picked up the stone Ayla had chosen.
"Don't throw it away in a hurry, find a reference..."
The wind slowly and steadily pushed the hot air balloon toward the southeast. Just as it passed directly above the city wall of the island republic, Ella shouted: "Right now, hit the city wall with rocks!"
Paracelsus threw the stone down——
The stone did not hit the city wall, but fell right in front of the city wall as Ella said.
