my age of magic

Chapter 519 17. City of San Carlos

Under the control of the crew, the floating circles on both sides of the airship went out one after another.

The entire airship lost enough buoyancy and began to sink slowly. At this time, a fire ignited on the airship.

The reason for the fire was that the two fire nets entangled the wind snake did not leave the range of the airship, and the black flames of the fire nets fell on the deck. These tough fire nets were soaked with very burnable corpses. The kerosene not only sizzled the scaled and tough wind snakes in the net, but after it fell on the deck, the corpse kerosene stood on the wooden floor of the deck, and the fire seemed to intensify.

What was even more frightening was that the fire net hanging on the main mast instantly ignited the mainsail on the ship, and the fire burst into the sky. The heat wave made the entire airship look like a huge charcoal oven.

The wind snakes who escaped from the fire net by chance were all frightened, flapping their fleshy wings wildly, their slender bodies rushed into the clouds, and dared not come out again.

And those three fire nets carried more than a dozen struggling wind snakes and fell on the deck. The soldiers on the deck who had been waiting for battle rushed up one after another, and they just used clumsy spears and bows to kill the wind snakes struggling in the fire nets. The snakes hunted one by one.

Captain McIntosh looked at the airship caught in the sea of ​​fire with pain on his face. In this wind belt, the wind boosted the fire, and the fire began to spread continuously on the deck. I think after this voyage, the airship will probably die. It's time to end its mission.

I am very curious, what are these silk screens made of, they can withstand fire, and it is this kind of kerosene that is difficult to extinguish once ignited. Of course, I am very familiar with these corpse kerosene. Over the past few years, these corpse fire oils have spread to the Grimm Empire, and they are used in such high-end weapons. Looking at Captain Mackintosh's expression, one knows that the value of these fire nets must be priceless.

The last wind snake was also pierced through the head by a spear, and the people on the deck breathed a sigh of relief. Those crew members who manipulated the bed crossbow, as if they had gone crazy, rushed into the warehouse under the captain's cabin, one after another. Taking out the fire extinguishing tools stored inside, everyone took wooden barrels to fetch water from the pool with the water gathering circle, and poured buckets of clean water on the deck.

The deck was in a mess. There is no doubt that the wind snakes are extremely destructive. The wind blades in their mouths can almost pierce through them easily. The casualties in this battle are no less than the battle last night. More people appear to be cut.

A self-rescue operation was carried out silently among the crowd on the deck. Those who were slightly injured basically did not even do the simplest bandages. They endured the pain and put out the fire with everyone on the deck. Those who were seriously injured were sent to the cabin Inside, rolls of first aid bandages were taken out.

Looking at the lively scene, my heart was also slightly moved.

I sighed secretly, thinking that I even used one of the scrolls of "Magic Reminder" last night, and now I have nothing to be reluctant to do, so I took out all the hemostatic bandages I carried with me from the magic waist bag, together with the whole The magic sealing box was thrown in front of the group of wounded who were about to be transferred to the cabin, and said lightly: "Use these hemostatic bandages, the healing effect will be better!"

The wounded soldiers looked at me with surprise and gratitude.

Moraya'er folded her hands on her chest, stood beside me and said teasingly: "I really can't tell, your family is really rich! I'm curious, what exactly are you carrying in your magic pouch, how come It feels like you have everything in your bag!"

"You know, my classmate and I opened a magic grocery store in partnership. Naturally, we should prepare all kinds of miscellaneous things!" I said to Ya with a smile.

In the past few years, Ya's circle of life has only been in the Magic Academy. Although she knows that I have a magic grocery store, she has never seriously learned about the specific situation.

She thinks that my wealth is nothing more than hunting barbarians in the wild every winter. Although she knows a little secret about Xinliu Valley, she has never been there. She just thinks that it belongs to me. She has always believed that the portal leads to the barren territory granted to me by the Duke of Sloit.

Moraya is also a magician. She also has such a barren land, but she has been too lazy to manage it. She thinks this barren land is worthless.

Magicians belong to a group of people at the top of the wealth pyramid. Every month, the magic guild will give some magic material resource quotas to those magicians who have successfully registered in the magic guild. Therefore, no magician will worry about life, but, if If you want to buy some expensive magic materials, or buy some advanced magic items, you still have to prepare these huge expenses by the magician yourself.

"You should still have a 'Frost Scroll' in your backpack?" Moraya asked me casually.

"Huh? Of course!" I said.

She winked at me, and stretched out her hand in front of me: "Give me a few. This ship is burning with such a big fire, the cabin must be like a big steamer, Sophie and Sally are in the cabin, I'm going to see how they are doing!"

She explained, then looked at me with a smile, and whispered in my ear, "I'll take care of Mrs. Alia, too."

"Oh!" I reached out and took out a bundle of frost scrolls, and handed it to Moraya, not paying much attention to what she said, and after I realized it, I raised my head and looked at her in amazement.

Moraya had turned and left.

Moraya casually held the magic scroll in his hand, and reminded me before leaving: "When fighting the fire, be careful not to hurt yourself!"

I said, "Got it, you know, I'm not that afraid of fire!"

Moraya's body suddenly paused for a moment, and she turned her face and glanced at me with some charming eyes. I saw her face was a little red, and then she flashed into the cabin and disappeared.

……

The tauren Luka was also among the crowd. Holding a large wooden barrel in both hands, he kept running between the deck and the pool, ignoring the fact that his body had already been scalded with blisters by the hot flames.

Some people silently removed the bodies of the dead in battle to avoid being burned to ashes by the fire on the deck, but I stood in front of the cabin door below the captain's cabin, earnestly drawing the magic circle in front of me, drawing more and more air from the air. The thin water element condensed a wall of water in front of me, and I manipulated this wall of water to walk towards the edge of the deck where the fire was weaker. As I spit out 'ice' from my mouth, an ice wall suddenly appeared on the fire. on the deck.

Then he said to those who were fighting the fire, "Go over there and leave this to me!"

"Okay, Your Excellency the Magician!" Those people answered very readily, and then they all ran to another fire point.

"burst!"

I finished drawing the third magic pattern circle, and manipulated the ice wall to explode into ice powder all over the sky at the edge of the fire point. A bit of coldness finally gave the scorching deck a little bit of coolness.These fine pieces of ice extinguished a piece of fire on the deck at once. Unfortunately, the temperature on the deck was a bit high. The ice powder melted into water not long after, and the fire on the deck seemed to be more violent than before. .

I looked in amazement at the flame oil that was originally on the fire net. At this time, during the struggle of the wind snake, it actually got on the deck. These flame oil really couldn't be extinguished with water.

I was thinking, it would be nice to have some sand at this time, but unfortunately I am not good at earth magic.

Captain McIntosh ran out of the cabin with a group of crew members. Each of them was holding a thick quilt. The crew members soaked the thick quilts in the pool. Afterwards, McIntosh Captain Tosh shouted in a hoarse voice, ordering the crew to spread the quilt soaked in cold water on the front bed on the burning deck.

The fire on deck was finally under some control.

At this time, the tallest mainsail on the airship had been reduced to ashes in the flames, and many places on the entire deck were also burning with fire. Several crew members with huge axes, regardless of the burning of the flames, struggled to hack under the mainmast. Looking at the main mast, if the entire main mast is not brought down and the fire ignites all the crossbars on the main mast, it will be difficult to control the fire on the main mast from spreading to the other four masts. All the sails on board were burned, and the heat wave brought by the fire could roast the people on the deck to death.

In order to be able to work under the burning sails, the crew members were soaked all over, and then they rushed under the main mast, trying hard to chop the huge main mast with a diameter of more than one meter with an axe.However, the temperature in their environment is quite high, and they won't last long at all. The crew members have to run out from under the main mast, pour the prepared cold water on their heads, and then rush into the sea of ​​fire desperately.

But even with such desperate efforts, the main mast was only cut by a third, and the fire on the main mast had begun to spread locally. At this time, Captain Mackintosh also looked anxious, and he was about to call More people rushed to cut down the mainmast, I went over to stop him, and then said to him: "I am looking for someone to cut down the mainmast, you should take the crew to put out the fire on the deck."

"Isn't it too much?" He hesitated and asked me.

I condensed an 'ice shield' casually, and I confidently said to McIntosh: "I am a water magician, don't worry."

Knowing the urgency of the situation, I shouted Luka's name loudly. When the tauren heard me calling him, he threw the bucket in his hand aside and rushed to my side.

'Ice Shield'

Three ice shields surround Luka and me. I took Luka into the sea of ​​flames. He still has a layer of 'petrified skin' on his body, and his heat resistance has been greatly improved. The two of us rushed to the main mast. Beside them, they each took out their axes and slashed fiercely at the main mast.

"K... ka... ka!"

With a loud bang, the main mast finally fell to the right side of the ship. As the hull suddenly tilted to the right, at that moment, I felt that the airship was about to roll over. Agni broke away from the hull and fell to the ground with a loud sound.

Luka repeatedly rushed in three times before he and I cut down the [-]-meter-high mainmast.

Amidst the cheers of the people around, Luka and I walked out of the fire with a hot axe. Luka suffered extensive burns all over his body. On the contrary, my condition is much better. The magic robe on my body has some fire resistance properties. It's just that the hair exposed outside the hood was basically scorched, because I was escorted by the ice shield and self-healing skills, such a fire didn't cause me much damage, and even if there was some, it recovered quickly.

The last part of the work of cutting off the main mast was almost done by Luka and I independently. I found that the people on the deck looked at me with some awe.

Captain Mackintosh rushed over, wanting to give me a warm hug. When his hand touched my magic robe, he yelled 'Ah', and immediately called the crew beside him to come over. When I spoke, a bucket of water was poured on my head, immediately drenching me into a drowned rat.

I looked at Captain Mackintosh speechlessly, but couldn't say a word.

……

Our airship crash-landed on a small mound southwest of Portal Mountain.

Captain Mackintosh chose this place for the forced landing because there were only some low shrubs on this small mound.

Seeing that the head of the dilapidated airship, half of which was scorched black, was inserted obliquely on the small mound, the skeleton of the entire airship had already appeared very large cracks. This airship has no value for repair at all, McIntosh Captain Shi had a look of wanting to cry but no tears.

The crew set up the springboard and let the people on the airship go down one after another. For a while, I didn’t know how to comfort the old captain. He still insisted on not giving up any of the people on the airship when he was in the most crisis. He finally successfully landed the airship safely outside the gateway mountain at the easternmost end of the Ziqing Mountains. He undoubtedly did a very remarkable thing, but I know that probably no one on the airship will appreciate it.

I patted the old man who looked like he had climbed out of a chimney, nodded to him, and then followed the tauren Luka and slowly got off the airship.

At this time, I found that the body of the wind snake that was completely pierced by the crossbow arrow did not disappear, but was linked by a very thin silver thread, hanging outside the ship's side, and swaying with the wind. , it turns out that each crossbow arrow is actually tied with a silk thread at the end, so that these bolts can be shot out and recycled indefinitely, but these silk threads are extremely long. The shooting of this kind of bed crossbow is really ingenious, and airship battles should be considered. It is difficult to recover the crossbow arrows after shooting out, so there is this kind of crossbow arrows with ropes tied to the tail, but it seems that the recovery of the crossbow arrows is very troublesome and can only be completed after the battle.

Standing on the high place of the mound, I looked up at the Portal Mountain, which pierced into the clouds, thinking that this should be considered the territory of San Carlos Province.

……

Those flying snakes finally didn't have the courage to catch up again.

After resting on this mound for half a day, I discussed with Moraya that there is no need to follow the passengers on the airship to the nearest town of Max on foot.

We are going to fly directly to the main city of San Carlos with our own magic broom, and then transfer to the airship to the imperial capital at the airport there.

But Luka's body is too heavy. None of the three mages Moraya, Sophie and I can carry this big man. I have to keep the tauren in the airship passenger team, please McGinn Captain Tosh took care of it a little.

A group of us sat on the magic broom, and the magic circle on the magic broom kept circulating and slowly rose into the air.

Moraya asked Alisa to sit on her magic broom, and Sophie and I rode our own magic broom alone. When we were about to start slowly, Mrs. Aliya came out from the crowd and said to me a little embarrassedly: " Giga..."
