Alvin followed the sound and walked towards the cabin, but he searched both floors and couldn't find anyone. What was even more strange was that he identified the direction of the sound source and it was not coming from the cabin below the deck. of. Then he went to the captain's room behind the airship and took a look. There was no one there, but if he listened carefully, the sound came from this room.
What made him feel weird was that there was no one in the room, but he could hear the sound of someone knocking on the floor, so he lay down and listened carefully, and there was indeed a muffled sound.
"It seems there is a secret room." Alvin sighed and listened carefully to which floor the sound was coming from.
"Ha, here." He found the exact location of the sound and tapped his knuckles on the floor in response to the "thunk, thunk" sound coming from below.
Unexpectedly, with this knock, the movement below became even louder.
"What's hidden here?" Alvin was surprised and began to curse these Tingxiao people.
But there was always this powerful sound under the floor. It sounded like someone was decorating under the floor, the kind of sound like hammering the wall with a leather hammer.
Alvin was afraid of releasing something evil, so he didn't dare to make a mistake. He put his ear to the floor again and listened carefully to what was going on below.
Unexpectedly, after hammering for a while, there was no movement. He listened carefully, and seemed to be able to vaguely hear the sound of "woo, woo".
"There's someone hiding under here..." Alvin immediately reacted and cast an instant magic spell on the floor. Unexpectedly, the solid wood floor was quite strong and it took several hits to penetrate it. Obviously this floor was specially customized. Judging from the thickness, it was specially used to make the door panel of the secret room.
He thought that the people in the secret room should be grateful to the Tingxiao people for not embedding a layer of external armor into the floor, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do it so hard.
Alvin looked through the small hole and saw that it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. The lighting in the captain's room is not good, there is no daylight at all, mainly because there is a layer of armor on the outside, which is airtight and no light can penetrate.
He used a low-level lighting spell and looked into the secret room with the light from the top of the staff. He saw a frightened little face, his mouth was tied by a cloth, and most of the face was still covered with blood. Such a dim environment really startled Alvin.
"Wow, you..." Alvin gasped, looking sideways into the secret room, speechless for a moment. He now understood why those who were overly frightened could not scream.
"Woo, woo." The man in the secret room saw the life-saving straw and desperately wanted to speak, but his mouth was tied and he couldn't speak.
Alvin saw this man babbling and twisting his shoulders vigorously, and when he took a closer look, these wretched Tingxiao people actually tied him up in a four-horse hooves position.
"Wait a minute, I'll make this hole bigger." Alvin quickly comforted him, and then began to break open the solid wood floor bit by bit.
The man in the secret room looked at Alvin excitedly, with tears welling up in his eyes, but Alvin didn't dare to look at him at all.
It took Alvin a long time to break the entire board. He used the light from the staff to hunch his way into the secret room. He didn't know who had designed this secret room. It was only half the height. People are tall.
"Come on, let me pull you out." Alvin put away the staff first, and dragged the man's shoulders out with both hands. He found that the man was very light, and thought that he must have been starved by those Tingxiao gang. A pound of meat.
Although the man was light, this "bowing down" action was difficult. Alvin had to sweat all over before dragging the man out.
Alvin took a few breaths, and before he could untie the person, he looked at the person first. He had very sharp eyes. Although the person in front of him had messy buns and a face full of blood, he could tell by looking carefully at her features that she was a girl.
The little girl with bloodstained face looked at Alvin miserably, biting the rag in her mouth. Looking at her like this, she must have something to say, but she seemed to have no strength to even make a sound.
Alvin quickly untied the rag tied around her mouth.
"Hurry...my daddy...is still inside." The little girl continued weakly.
"Is there anyone else in there?" Alvin asked in surprise, so he took a staff and glanced into the secret room again. He didn't look at it at first, but when he dug deeper, he actually saw a middle-aged man lying on the bed. It's at the very back, and it's really hard to spot without looking carefully.
"But Tingxiao people are also quite strange. Why would a grown man tie up a little girl if he doesn't tie her up?" Alvin was surprised.
"No wonder there is no movement." When he reached the deepest part of the secret room and took a closer look with the light, he realized that the little girl's father had passed out and had been like this for some time.
Alvin looked at the sword wounds all over the middle-aged man's body, and some of the flesh that had opened was rotten. He was not sure if this man was still alive. No wonder the Tingxiao people didn't tie him up.
It would be a lot of trouble to drag a middle-aged man, or a middle-aged man who has passed out, out of here. Alvin had used all his strength, but he just couldn't use up his energy to suck the milk.
He had just broken out in a sweat, but now he was almost exhausted.
When the little girl saw that her relatives had been rescued, she laughed weakly and looked at Alvin with a grateful face.
Seeing the blood dripping from her forehead, Alvin thought to himself, "Could it be that this little girl just hit her head on the wooden board?"
He sighed, propped himself up, performed an advanced healing technique on the little girl, and then began to untie her. As for the middle-aged man, it definitely cannot be cured by one or two magic spells.
"You...how did you get locked up there?" Alvin asked curiously while untying the rope around her body.
After the treatment, the little girl was obviously better than before and finally had the strength to speak.
"Dad and I came from the north, driving an airship across the mountains to buy goods from the south. How could we expect to encounter these damn Tingxiao mercenary group at the border of the Tingxiao Empire. They came up and wanted to steal our airship, those They killed all the helpers I hired, and only my father and I were left." The little girl said bitterly, and said in a tearful tone, "My father was trying his best to protect me, but they beat him to death. In this state, I don’t know if I can survive now.”
"It turns out that this airship does not belong to the Tingxiao people, but they stole their feelings." Alvin thought to himself, "It seems that this group of mercenaries and Lang Yue's group are on the same path. So the situation now is very complicated. We are in trouble and have driven away the people from Tingxiao. What should we do with this empty boat? If we just keep it as our own, wouldn't we be bullying a little girl?"
"When I just dragged him out, he felt like he was still breathing. As long as the wounds are not so seriously infected, he should be able to survive. I'll go get some potions later, they might come in handy." Alvin comforted.
"Really? Then please find a way to save my dad." The little girl bit her lip and looked at Alvin with eyes wide open, "Brother Magician, you are so powerful, you can definitely think of a way to save him, right? wrong?"
"Awesome? Where did you see it?" Alvin asked with a strange look on his face.
"I just saw it from the small crack inside. You dispatched those dozens of pretentious Tingxiao magicians with just one move. Isn't that awesome?" The little girl was still very naive and didn't understand Al. Wen's implication was, "If you hadn't taken care of all these Tingxiao people, Brother Magician, I wouldn't have banged my head against the wooden door to ask you for help."
"A small crack? There is no small crack, and there is no light inside." Alvin asked doubtfully.
"I have already said that this is my family's airship, so of course I am the only one who knows where it is." The little girl said with some pride, "I can clearly see what these Tingxiao people are doing from inside. "
"Well, then at least you can install a mechanism inside that can open the door, so you won't have to smash your head open." Alvin said, looking at the blood on her face.
"It turns out that this compartment is used to store precious gold and silver. Who knew that one day I would be imprisoned in it." The little girl said helplessly.
"That's right." Alvin didn't think so in his heart.
"By the way, Brother Magician, what's your name?" The little girl looked at Alvin and asked, "You saved me and my father, you must repay this great kindness."
"Alvin Felix." Alvin said, "Forget about repaying anything, just give me this airship. But I'll say the ugly things first. Whether I can save your father or not, that depends on He created it himself.”
After hearing this, the little girl looked at Alvin with wide eyes. She did not expect that Alvin would not refuse and actually came up and opened his mouth.
Seeing the other party's expression of embarrassment, Alvin still smiled and said nothing.
After thinking for a while, the little girl made up her mind and said: "Okay, since you said it, you must do it. From now on, this empty boat will belong to you, Brother Alvin. I said I would repay you, and I will definitely not break my promise. , whether you can save daddy or not."
"Ha, it's refreshing. Little girl, I think your decisiveness should be good for business." Alvin joked, he still admired the little girl in his heart, "Don't worry, I'm joking with you. , what do I need your airship for? However, now that the two countries are at war, you have to lend me your airship during the war. To be precise, you have to lend it to our mercenary group. As for your father, I really I just try my best to save him, I can’t guarantee whether he can be saved.”
The little girl is indeed a cheerful person. Once she said the words, she naturally no longer regarded the empty boat as her own, so no matter what Alvin said, she would not take it back. But after hearing Alvin say that he was not sure that he could save his father, he couldn't help but look sad again.
"Okay, little girl, stop being so sad and mournful." Alvin looked at her and said helplessly. He didn't have time to sigh with her here. He still had to care about the battlefield below.
"My name is Kui Qing, eldest brother Alvin." The little girl pouted and the look on her face dropped, obviously expressing her dissatisfaction with Alvin's dislike.
"Okay, little girl Kui Qing. We are really just borrowing this airship. It is essentially still yours. So I advise you to come out and take a look now, because if it is too late, we will hit the mountain." Ai Erwin warned, and at this time others had already walked to the outer deck, looking at the Fevoni Mountains not far to the northwest.
In fact, the airship has been unpiloted since Alvin knocked the original helmsman away.
"What?" Miss Kui Qing ran out of the captain's room barefoot after hearing this. She didn't care that the blood on her face was very scary. She took one look at the mountains in front of her, took a breath of air, and hurriedly said Operate the gear levers around the steering wheel.
However, this airship has been modified by the Tingxiao people, and hundreds of pieces of armor have been added. The weight has been far heavier than before, and it is not so easy to lift or turn.
Alvin looked at the magicians on his side on the north slope, and he suddenly came to his senses. He used the strong sound technique to shout there: "Langyun, hurry up, call all the magicians over, and speak to the bottom of the ship. Use magic. Quick!"
Langyun was already leading people down the mountain to meet up with Lai Wu. Seeing that Alvin's airship never changed direction, he guessed there was something wrong, so he kept holding the person down and not moving.
"Okay." Lang Yun ordered and led a group of magicians to the front of the airship and cast magic on the bottom of the ship.
The sound of "Ping Ping Pong" came from below the ship, and all kinds of magic was not holding these armor.
"The main thing is to hit the bottom of the ship's bow, and hit one place!" Alvin yelled again at the bottom.
"I understand." Lang Yun directed everyone to cast spells in unison.
Although the armor around the airship could block all kinds of magic, it could not stop the magical energy from causing the ship's bow to tilt upward. Coupled with the unremitting efforts of the little girl Kui Qing, the entire ship finally lifted up a little, and the bottom beam at the bottom flew close to the ridge.
Not hearing the collision below, the two people on the airship let out a sigh of relief. They stood on the deck and could not see what was going on below, wondering whether the ship would hit it.
Langyun led the magicians from the Quartet Mercenary Group below to applaud and cheer. No matter how shameless Alvin was, he still felt a little ashamed. The reason why it was so thrilling was because he didn't study carefully how to fly the airship.
"This guy, if he doesn't cause something, he won't be called Alvin." Lai Wu, who led everyone to the east, naturally saw the thrilling scene just now and sighed helplessly.
"Haha, you know him well." Kaiba said jokingly.
"Wow, it was so thrilling. He almost destroyed the airship by himself." Chen Zhu sighed.
