Chapter 209 208. Dares
The floating device consumes a lot of magic crystals every moment, so the captain decided to temporarily stop at Dares Airport to perform necessary repairs on the magic airship before continuing to sail.
This airport is the nearest city with an airport terminal. Since the airship cannot rise into the wind channel again, it can only rely on the booster to move slowly at low altitude. The airship flies very slowly. This route is very familiar, and the low-altitude wind direction is also blowing towards the city of Dares. The sails on the magic airship are fully opened. After flying at low altitude for nearly a day, a city built under a cliff finally appeared in the field of vision.
The city's airport pier is on the cliff. Normally, the magic airship only needs to be docked at the pier next to the cliff, but this time because the hydrogen balloon is damaged, the magic airship needs to be parked in the airship maintenance dock.
The magic airship has the same shuttle-shaped bottom as a large ship. The main keel of the hull cannot bear the full weight of the hull, so the airship cannot land directly on the ground, but can only land on the maintenance rack in the maintenance dock of the airport dock.
At this time, the magic airship had already hovered over the maintenance rack. When it landed, the captain's precise control skills were required. All the crew members stood on both sides of the ship's side, and everyone worked together to put the ropes on the maintenance rack. On the main pillar, more than a hundred crew members began to pull the rope hard, assisting the captain to straighten the position of the hull.
After a violent shake, the magic airship finally stabilized.
The airship docked steadily on the maintenance rack, and cheers came from outside the cabin, and then the eight floating devices were turned off one by one. The heavy magic airship was pressed on the maintenance rack, making the medium-sized maintenance rack creak. Noisy, this is already the largest maintenance rack at Dar es Airport Terminal, but it can barely bear the weight of this airship.
The optimism and cheerfulness of the people of the Green Empire can make people cheer up quickly after a disaster. Everyone seems to have forgotten what kind of danger they experienced yesterday. Dar es city.
Then the captain led several crew members to inspect the damage caused by the fire lark to the airship. In fact, the main body of the airship did not have much damage, but the hydrogen balloon was covered with splits caused by the fire lark. The magic airship has been in use for a long time. Flying at high altitude has high requirements for safety, so the captain decided to repair the hydrogen balloon in an all-round way.
In this case, the magic airship needs to stop at Dar es Airport for at least one day and one night. This period of time is a bit long. If passengers want to disembark, they can stay in Dar es city for one night to relax. If you don't want to leave the magic airship, you can stay on board. The airship provides three meals a day.
Receiving such a notice, Suldak wanted to stay in the cabin and catch up on a good sleep.
He treated nearly 70 or 80 wounded yesterday, and the boat crashed again at night, and he didn't sleep all night. In the morning, he found that the airship could only barely stay in the air by relying on the buoyancy device. This situation was even worse. Don't dare to go back to sleep in the cabin, who knows how powerful these floating devices are, as long as one of the floating devices fails, the airship will really sink.
At this time, the airship finally docked in the dock smoothly, and the captain did not intend to drive everyone off the airship. Suldak was really tired, so he planned to take a quick shower, and then went to the cabin. Get some sleep.
Suldak took off his leather armor, put on a linen shirt and underpants, walked into the bathroom, and found that the water supply system was cut off.
At this time, he remembered that in order to reduce the weight of the ship, all the domestic water on the ship had been drained in the morning, and there must have been no chance to replenish it at this time.
Suldak showed a polite smile on his face, but he just smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that he would not be able to sleep this time.
…
Dares City is in the Grimm Empire language, if it is interpreted according to the meaning of the word, it is a 'city built under a cliff'.
The entire city is backed by a huge sandstone mountain. After thousands of years of weathering and erosion, this sandstone mountain has left layers of wind rings on the mountain. The landforms around the city are quite peculiar. Wind tunnels of different sizes are dug, and when the wind blows, there will be bursts of whimpering around the city. This is a beautiful melody left by nature, and it never stops every day and every moment.
In the eyes of Suldak, the city wall of this city looks like a bow, and the string of the bow is the sandstone mountain behind Dares City. From the front, the city wall is at least 70 meters high. This height is twenty or thirty meters higher than the city wall of Epsom City.
This time, Captain Kerry hosted a banquet for all the warriors who fought on the deck.
So a group of people left the airport pier, folded the stone steps along the cliffs of the mountain, and walked towards Dares City with great momentum. Some of the crowd had a certain understanding of Dares City, so they introduced it to the people around them. This city, in order to resist the monsters in the mountains, the founder of this city built the city at the foot of the mountain, so that once the monsters besieged the city, the people in the city could easily retreat into the caves in the mountain.
There is a huge void inside the sandstone mountain behind Dares City. It is said that even if the city has developed to the present, it can still accommodate all the people in the city.
It's just that there are not so many monsters in the surrounding mountains. The latest incident of monster siege needs to be traced back at least a hundred years, and those monsters have already dispersed when they saw the walls of Dares City from a distance. Warcraft will not attack the city desperately when they know they are going to die, unless they really can't survive.
Warcraft slowly disappeared from people's lives, but the city continued.
Most of the buildings in the city are mainly made of sand and gravel. The wooden houses that can be seen everywhere in Epsom and Everson City do not seem to belong here. The streets in this city are not stone roads, but dirt roads rammed with loess , but after countless times of stepping on these streets, the entire ground is as solid as a whole stone.
Suldak followed a group of people to the city of Dar es and walked along the street. The city looked more like an ancient city next to the Gobi Desert.
The cake seller on the side of the road stared at a group of people coming down from the airport pier with his deep eyes. The green cantaloupe exuding a sweet smell greeted Captain Kerry and a group of people, enthusiastically selling:
‘What a sweet melon...’
