"Then, I'm off."
Xia Ye said to everyone.
Yaha, the first mate, Tang Li, and Xiu were all gathered on the front deck to bid her farewell.
"Are you sure your method really works?" Yaha asked.
"I tested it yesterday and it's absolutely fine."
Seeing Xia Ye's confident look, Yaha said no more and just said: "Be more careful."
Others also followed suit and said:
"I hope sister Xia Ye has a smooth journey."
"Take care."
"Take care, meow~"
Xia Ye looked at the expressions of the four of them and suddenly laughed: "Why do you all have such expressions? It seems as if I want to say goodbye to you forever. After all, I just want to go back to Debsota first. One day later we will Let’s meet again.”
"That's right." Yaha also smiled and said, "Then, see you in a day."
"See you in a day." Others also said.
"I'll take the first step, bye~"
After Xia Ye finished speaking, she crushed the "Feather of Thunder" in her palm. Crimson wings instantly appeared behind her waist. The girl turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed out of the deck, leaving the whale ship behind in the blink of an eye. Behind him.
She flew due east for a total of twelve seconds. When her wings bloomed and spread out automatically, the wings on her shoulders suddenly became larger and thinner. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a cat-shaped flying wing, with four wings sticking out from under it. A tentacle wrapped around Xia Ye's body like a rope, hanging her in the air.
In this way, the "Cat Wing" slid forward smoothly relying on inertia. Although the speed was much slower than the "Thunder Feather", it was at least much faster than the previous "Cat Balloon".
("Cat Glider" is the abbreviation of "Cat Glider" - Xia Ye Note)
"Xiu Ji, if you could turn into a pair of wings, I mean the kind that flap constantly... we could fly faster." Xia Ye suggested to Xiu Ji above.
"But it's very laborious to keep fanning like that~" Mao Xiangyi said, "It's better to keep fanning like this."
"Okay~"
Xia Ye responded helplessly. She turned around and looked behind her. The Moby-Dick was too small to be seen, and only a white track was left, slowly extending in the golden sea of clouds.
Not long after, the scattered lightning returned to her and condensed into a piece of feathers. During the gliding just now, Xia Ye's altitude dropped slightly, but this height could only be compensated when using the "Thunder Feather" to fly.
"Xiu Ji, I want to take off again~"
Xia Ye said something to the top of her head. After receiving the notification, Mao Xiangyi immediately folded into a one-foot-square piece and stuck it behind the girl's back. Xia Ye then crushed the feathers, turned into crimson lightning again, and flew diagonally upward.
In the blink of an eye, she flew forward another eighteen kilometers. When the wings disappeared, the cat's wings opened again, and the girl was hanging on to glide forward.
According to Xia Ye's estimation, the Cat Wings can glide for at least 2 kilometers each time before the "Thunder Feather" regroups. This is equivalent to flying forward at least 20 kilometers per cycle.
Debsota is about 2,000 kilometers away, which means that she can fly to Debsota as long as it is repeated less than 100 times.
Although the method is a bit strange, in this way, I can come and go freely in the etheric sea, right? Xia Ye thought with some pride.
"So... the so-called traveling witch is not a big deal, right? This witch can fly to another city alone if she wants to."
But as soon as the words were spoken, the cat Xiangyi above protested:
"I don't want to meow! It's very tiring for this cat to change like this, meow! It's good that the distance is short, but if it's tens of thousands of kilometers, this cat will definitely be exhausted, meow~"
"Yeah... that's right... I'm just imagining it, and I don't really want to do it." Xia Ye changed the subject with some embarrassment, "Speaking of which, when I return to Debso Tower, I must think Let Xiu make her tail bigger."
"Meow? Why?"
"Because I have a great idea, but the Shoggoth's tail I'm repairing now is still too small. I have to wait until it grows up before it can be realized."
"So what are you thinking about?"
"Hey, you'll know this when the time comes." Xia Ye pretended, "Okay, you put it away, I'm going to start flying again~"
The cooling time of "Thunder Feather" is 8 seconds, which means that if you want to be as fast as possible, the cat wing must be folded up again every 8 seconds of gliding. But in fact, every summer night gliding time is longer than this, the short time is about ten seconds, the long time is nearly half a minute - this can prevent Xiuji from retracting and retracting too frequently, and thus not too much. tired. At the same time, Xia Ye can chat with Xiuji while gliding, or enjoy the fun of hang gliding, so that the journey will not be too boring.
In this way, one person and one cat flew alternately. About an hour later, an extremely large floating island appeared in front of them.
That's Debsota.
Looking from here, one can see that the entire floating island is wrapped in a huge eggshell-shaped cover, which is a barrier set up by the witches to prevent the ether wind from blowing into the city.
Through the translucent light yellow cover, countless buildings can be seen crowding the island. The buildings near the periphery are generally shorter, and the buildings closer to the center are taller. Debsot Tower is just like the original meaning of its name, it is a city in the shape of a cake tower.
Below the floating island, there are seven golden light pillars that penetrate the thick rocks at the bottom of the island, pierce straight into the ether sea below, and extend to the end of the field of vision.
Xia Ye knew what it was because she had asked Yaha as early as when she went to sea.
——Those seven light pillars are the seven drilling wells of "Aether Exploration". The diameter of each light pillar exceeds 100 meters. They run through the entire etheric sea and reach the bottom of the sea, and continuously extract magic power from it. The magic power produced by these seven drilling wells accounts for 80% of the total magic power output of the entire Debso Tower, and thus forms the cornerstone for "ether exploration" to rule Debso Tower.
The remaining 17% of the magic output comes from the whaling industry, and the last 3% comes from various agricultural products produced in the dome.
Xia Ye hung under the wings of the cat, and after admiring the magnificent magic drilling for a while, it turned into a bolt of lightning again and flew towards Debso Tower.
…
boom--
In a deserted open space in the Xiacheng District factory area, a large cloud of smoke suddenly rose. After the smoke and dust dissipated, many huge pits appeared on the originally flat ground.
Xia Ye hung one hand on the cat balloon and slowly floated down from the air. When there was only about one meter left from the ground, she let go of her hand and landed lightly on the ground. The cat balloon in the air also shrank, turned into a black cat again, and landed on the girl's head.
"'Thunder Feather' is good at everything, except that it has to fire out the thunder light every time it ends. It's fine in a remote place like this, but once it's in the city, it's completely useless."
Xia Ye looked at the pitted ground and sighed to himself.
But then she thought about it, now that she was back in Debso Tower, she could just ride a broom when traveling, and it wasn't necessary to use the Thunder Feather.
Let’s go back home first. Take a shower and change your clothes.
She lowered her head and looked at the sailor uniform she was wearing and thought about it.
But when she raised her head again, she was surprised to find that there was someone in front of her.
The other party was only more than twenty meters away from her and was walking slowly towards her.
Soon, the other party stopped in front of Xia Ye.
"Miss Xia Ye, I am here under the entrustment of 'Ocean Ship Charter'. Chairman Kelun would like to invite you to have a cup of afternoon tea. I wonder if you can do it for me?"
