Chapter 80 The Sudden Floating Ship
Above the clouds, thousands of meters in the air, four people wearing mage robes, tall, short, fat and thin, were looking out through the glass window.

Under the gaps in the clouds, one can see waves of skeleton-like black-brown sea tides on the ground, engulfing vegetation, fields and buildings from south to north.

On a certain ridge, a castle stands against the mountain and beside the river. The protective barrier covers the castle, and a semicircular bone wall has been piled up outside the barrier.

"The fluctuation of the corrupted divine power has disappeared," a tall mage muttered, "We seem to have been tricked. It's not a witch or a corrupted artifact, but some kind of divine power beacon. Someone deliberately led us here."

"Is the dignified member of the Central Committee of the God Puppet Association going to be tricked one day?"

A shrill female voice taunted: "Nabil, it's not us, it's just that you were tricked, and you made this decision."

The voice sounded very old, and the mage with a stooped figure said: "It's good to leave the swamp, this is a natural disaster of the undead. If we stay above the swamp, it will be easy for people from the camp of good gods to find us."

"If those bones really led us here, it means there is something worth pondering here," said another obese magician, "Shakira, don't complain, this is also a clue, it's better than We've been spinning around in the sky without thinking."

"Proceed with caution, we were almost spotted by the hawk domesticated by the ranger just now," said the old magician, "Ben and his people disappeared without a trace in Hadron, and there must be something in Hadrang that we have never touched." The eccentric, discreet..."

The tall man said disdainfully: "Ben, that ignorant idiot, who dares to fight with us without any knowledge of the power of corruption, accidents are inevitable!"

He suddenly let out a haha: "I have detected a faint strange divine power, which we have not discovered before. It is right next to the castle, it should be a temple, and the lord here is not a small character."

"you sure?"

The female magician was suspicious: "Don't forget that you didn't even recognize the beacon before."

The tall man was a little angry: "The beacon is just speculation! Don't doubt my attainments in divine power detection! So far, the god puppet society has discovered several artifacts by relying on my detection circle!"

The female magician is obviously impatient: "Then hurry up and arrest someone to ask for clarification!"

"There is an enchantment, don't act rashly." The fat magician waved his hand: "The level is not high, but it shows that the other party is on guard."

"Hide, hurry!"

The old magician paused for a moment with his staff: "Observe in secret! Make sure you have full confidence before you do it!"

"Well, we have been idling in the swamp for three years, and we still have some patience." The tall magician named Nabil waved his staff, and the magic spar at the top flashed a light blue halo: "Let the engine Have a full meal and activate the hidden enchantment."

The space where the magician is located is like an egg cut in half, with an area half the size of a football field.Penetrating the floor, the lower half is a mess of machinery and pipelines, filled with a stench.There is a huge metal sphere in the center of the space. Several pipelines extend from the sphere and connect to the wall engraved with the magic circle.

Tall or short, of different races, humanoid creatures in ragged clothes, wearing restraining shackles, went back and forth between the machinery and pipelines, busy working.

A horn blared, and the boar-headed humanoid snorted at a group of rat-headed, rat-tailed humanoids smaller than halflings.The skaven chirped in response, swarming into the corner, hooked head to tail, and hooked onto a large handle.

The Ratman pulled down the handle, a crack was made at the top of the metal sphere, a mechanical arm hung from the ceiling, circled twice, and randomly grabbed a halfling.

The halfling let out a miserable scream, but was pinched by the mechanical arm, unable to move at all. He watched helplessly as he was caught at the top of the ball and stuffed into the ball.

The mechanical arm was raised, and a more miserable howl came from the sphere, and then came to an abrupt stop with the closure of the gap.

After a while, the metal sphere trembled, and the pipeline connected to the sphere squirmed, transmitting some strange force to the wall, and a magic circle lit up.

………………

In the backyard of the Crimson Temple, Li Qi helped Fei Ni wipe away her tears and handed her the boiled milk.

"I can still cry," Finny said.

Li Qi rubbed her head: "I can't bear it anymore."

The little girl hugged Li Qi's arm happily, and the two went out of the backyard.Behind him, Asuna commanded the apprentices to stir Fei Ni's tears into holy water.

Outside the temple, the scene is no longer as scary as it was two days ago.The main body of the sea of ​​skeletons crossed the castle and spread towards the hinterland of the kingdom. Now there are only scattered small groups of skeletons, which Sardar can easily solve with his guards.

More than 1000 people gathered on the ridge centered on the castle. In addition to the people from the farm, there were also some townspeople from the north, and farmers who ran to escape nearby.Under the command of Sebadian and Talens, these people are nervously digging trenches and building earth walls, preparing to deal with the army of undead who don't know when they will arrive.

Under the castle, Wilson set up a large straw mat shield to protect a person, and moved along the piled earth wall.As the man swung his staff, sections of the earth wall solidified and shrank in the blue halo, turning into stone walls.

Li Qi greeted: "Ada, take your time, there is no rush now."

"If you don't take advantage of the completion of the project now, you will have bad things happen when the army of undead arrives!"

Aida blushed and shouted, not daring to meet his gaze.

Li Qi was very surprised that the glasses girl magician went back and forth, and later found out that she had tossed and turned in the capital all night and came back by herself.

When she came back, she brought a lot of supplies, which Li Qi bought from the Chamber of Commerce through Xiaolongnv's relationship.

Twenty third-level magical crossbows can be activated as long as they know the magic light technique, so that apprentice priests also have weapons to deal with high-level undead monsters.Four hundred gold bushels each, one price for each crossbow bolt and divine crystal.

Thirty sets of cleric combat suits, each including a full-resistant leather armor, a magic mace, and a magic-destroying short knife, each set is [-] gold bushels.

The ten-sided mithril divine power shield, inlaid with a magical circle constructed of mithril threads, is the kind used by Wilson, with two hundred gold bushels per side.

Two four-level magic siege crossbows, each with seven thousand gold bushes, and each crossbow bolt with two hundred gold bushels.

Together with a pile of divine crystals, the total value exceeds fifty thousand gold bushels.

These are military supplies that Li Qi obtained from Xiaolongnv with the next year's OTL film industry income as collateral.Personal friendships belong to personal relationships, and Xiaolongnv never missed the opportunity to squeeze Li Qi in business.

But in terms of personal relationships, Xiaolongnv is not indifferent.After knowing that he wanted to stick to the territory, he didn't persuade him, and directly gave him ten teleportation symbols, setting the teleportation point to be the Commercial Temple in the capital.This teleportation talisman is priceless and extremely precious.

Coupled with the help of a fifth-level magician like Aida to help build the fortifications, Li Qi glanced at the scene of the surrounding bustling, and there was only one thought in his mind: it was stable.

"There's something wrong up here, I feel very depressed," Ada suddenly muttered as Li Qi was about to take Fei Ni back to the castle.

Although the glasses girl is only specialized in construction, but her level is there, she is very sensitive to extraordinary power.

When she said this, Li Qi activated the protective barrier without hesitation.

Each activation of the protective barrier consumes a divine crystal, and Li Qi feels that such consumption is necessary. Now he is facing not only an unprecedented crisis, but also a huge mystery, so he cannot be too cautious.

The enchantment rose, the sky darkened suddenly, and there was a sound of exclamation.

What the hell……

Li Qi raised his head and was shocked when he saw the huge object that blocked the sunlight.

Can you stop being so scary, the airships are all out!What will happen after the power system collapses like this!

The floating ship that looks like a large cigar is horizontally overhead, and only half of the ship is within the barrier. I don't know the exact size, but it is estimated to be no smaller than a football field.

Floating ships are common in the area controlled by the Mages Union, that is, the Storm Islands outside the Hadron Fjord.Floating nuclei and a whole set of technology, which are the key resources for making airships, are also under the control of the Mage Federation. Various countries in the mainland and loyal courts have listed airships as forbidden things, and few people have seen them.

Judging from the different materials and textures of the hull, many places are patched, it should not be a regular floating ship of the Mage Union, but something secretly put together by a private or secret organization.

Two rays of light shot out from the top of the castle, and two groups of azure halos bloomed on the hull. Ripples extended from the contact point to other parts of the hull. The floating ship obviously also had a protective barrier.

Li Qi was a little annoyed, as expected, he got what he paid for, the protective barrier he installed was not only low-level, but also didn't have the function of banning air.

He looked towards the top of the castle, his heart raised.The siege crossbow installed on the top of the castle reacts very quickly, which also means that the opponent will deal with them first, and the person operating the siege crossbow is in danger.

A magic circle lit up at the bottom of the airship, and raindrops of purple light bullets shot down.

"Be careful--!"

Li Qi propped up the light shield and protected Fei Ni under him.

Not far away, Wilson protected the magician with a large shield, which was the task Li Qi entrusted to him.The light bomb blasted out ripples on the light shield, and the damage was not great.

Then Wilson was dumbfounded. Following the rain of purple light bullets was a huge mechanical hand with a cage like a piranha at the top. It swallowed Li Qi and Fei Ni in one gulp, and quickly shrank back.

The light bullets splashed clouds of smoke and dust on the ground, and Li Qi and Fei Ni disappeared in an instant. Not only Wilson and Ada, but everyone around them were stunned.

In the forest on the ridge in the distance, a tall armored warrior looked at the castle and made an urgent vague voice: "Save, Li Qi."

Sir Familia was beside the warrior. She said patiently, "We didn't find it just now, which means it also has a hidden barrier, and we can't find it if we catch up..."

Before he could finish speaking, thick gray and black smoke erupted from the armored warrior. The warrior squatted down, jumped again, and shot straight into the sky like a cannonball.

Shaking the dust away, the lady stomped her feet: "This child! Still so impulsive!"

She greeted helplessly behind her: "Start! Quickly start! Catch up with the princess!"

A floating ship tens of meters long rises from the forest, gradually becomes transparent, and disappears together with the figure of the lady.
