Chapter 421 Happy Aircraft

When the first ray of morning light pierced the clouds and sprinkled on the top of the mountain built of wooden boards and stones in Blue Flame Bay, the people who survived the Soul-Devouring Night breathed a sigh of relief.

Most of the black fog has dissipated, and those creatures hidden in the dark may either enjoy the food or feel unwilling to accept it on this night. But under the sunshine, they can only dive into the deep sea again and hide back to their nests.

The survivors walked out of the gate of the temple and looked at the buildings under the top of the mountain, and were speechless.

Half of the wooden houses next to the port have collapsed, and the crumbling architectural structures cannot support a collision between creatures in the fog.

But the people of Blue Flame Bay quickly accepted all this calmly. Someone was carrying the wooden boards and maces in the warehouse and preparing to go to the dock area to repair the ships and rebuild their homes.

"That's pretty good. If it weren't for the actions of those priests of Baru, I suspected that the entire city would be occupied by black fog."

"I don't know where those terrible black fog came from."

"You can care about so much. Have you dug out your rations today?"

"Hey, no. I have to go and see if my boat is broken. Hope it wasn't damaged too much last night."

"I'll tell you something. Did you see the ship that was swallowed by black fog yesterday? All the dead treasures floated on the sea! If you go late, only fish dung will be left."

"Really? Hehehe, then go quickly."

The temple gates were wide open, and the bustling crowds returned to their respective lives. Even though that ordinary and hard life had been upside down, at least, they were still alive.

They can still live well in this harbor city in their own way.

Ah Hao and Ilia mixed in the crowd, preparing to walk back to the accommodation area along the stone bridge when they came.

Ilia put down the sand sound box, turned her head excitedly and said, "I didn't expect everything to go smoother than I thought. The airship my dad brought was heading here at full speed. I guess it will be here at noon today."

Ah Hao applauded: "It's Mr. Howard, this speed is OK."

After the two walked back to the accommodation area, they found that their original hotel had been completely destroyed. The hotel owner was sitting on the ruins on the first floor, looking around with sighs.

Fortunately, the two of them just put some daily clothes in the hotel. After a while, they were too lazy to find them from the ruins. They simply went straight to the airship area.

The airship area in Blue Flame Bay is crowded at this time.

Black fog rolled up from the sea, and the most severely affected areas of this city are basically in the coastal areas and dock areas. Logically speaking, the upper-level luxury residential areas will be safer, and the actual damage seems much lighter.

But no matter how much these rich people pay, they want to escape from the city today.

Fortunately, Ah Hao and the others didn't have to grab tickets. After sitting in the air dock area for a while, a medium-sized airship flew over.

The airship's bow was engraved with a big "AH" and the wooden boards on the entire hull were painted with white paint, which looked quite classy. The airship slowly leaned against the air dock, and a middle-aged man stood beside the guardrail and shouted to the two:

"Are it Mr. Ah Hao and Ms. Ilia?"

Ah Hao also shouted to him, "That's right!"

He nodded, and the gangway was immediately put down.

Just as the two were about to board the ship, a man dressed in a wealthy businessman next to him stopped Ah Hao.

"Hey, boy, where is this airship heading?"

Ah Hao glanced at him and said patiently: "Go to Nya."

"Nia." A hint of disgrace appeared on the rich businessman's face, and then he stepped onto the gangway, "Forget it, you can go to that poor place to see."

Ah Hao and Ilia looked at each other, and had no plans to get on the boat for the time being. A smile appeared on the corner of Ilia's mouth.

After a while, the rich businessman walked down the gangway in shame, cursing: "I have never seen such a stubborn person. I can't even say that it's okay to give you much money. Any dog ​​thing is just a broken captain."

Ah Hao smiled: "Interesting, let's go up."

As soon as the two boarded the airship, they were warmly welcomed. About ten crew members were lined up in two rows, applauding to greet Ah Hao and Ilia. The middle-aged man who led the lead took off the triangular hat on his head and bowed gracefully.

"I am the captain of the Ender Road, Andrew. After you officially take over, the ship will be renamed AH."

Andrew grinned and showed two gold teeth: "But before we go back to Agadi for handover, the ship must be called the Ender Road for the time being."

The two shook hands with Andrew respectively: "Ahao." "Ilia."

"Are you two?"

"That's right."

"Then I'll put away the gangway, so that no one will come up and ask again."

While putting up the gangway on pulleys, Andrew introduced: "These are the first mates, second mates, third mates, chefs and sailors on the boat. The rest are all crew members."

"Mr. Ahao, I have to explain it to you in advance. If you allow us to travel in our free time, you will not have to pay their wages."

"Otherwise, they are equal to your employees and you have to pay them reasonable compensation on time."

Ah Hao raised his eyebrows unexpectedly: "How does this free time count?"

"Fifteen days a month." Andrew patted the pulley to make sure the gangway was stuck on the side of the ship. "If you use the airship for more than fifteen days, you have to pay the crew on a day's basis, and you even have to supplement the fuel and material loss at your own expense.

"But if you use it for less than fifteen days, you don't have to worry about these things at all. If the market is good, you can even get dividends for the boat."

Ilia asked curiously: "Can you still share the money?"

"Only a high-quality captain like me can make money for the employer." Andrew said proudly, "The specific agreement is in the captain's room, a long string. You can take a closer look when you have time. The previous owner also defined an agreement with me."

"I understand." Ah Hao nodded, then suddenly asked, "Will I be fine if I want to lay off employees?"

Andrew scratched his face and showed a little embarrassed expression: "Of course. If you want, it will not be a problem to cut me off. But!"

"I strongly do not recommend that you do this. It is not easy to find a qualified sailor now. If there are fewer than ten crew members on the airship, it is impossible to run them."

Ah Hao smiled relaxedly: "Just ask. Can you take us around the boat now?"

"Of course." Andrew breathed a sigh of relief in secret, then put on a smile again, pointing the way for the two of them.

He was told in advance that his new employer was the legendary "Master Ao". If Mr. Ah Hao really didn't want to work by himself, he would not dare to have any other statements except to get off the boat in shame.

Andrew swung most of the crew back, leaving only the first mate behind them.

The first mate is Jamie, and he is a kind and honest person, with a burly figure and not very talkative. He is much "boost" than the slick Andrew.

Ilia was curiously walking around the cabin: "Actually, it's much bigger inside than it looks."

"That's right." Andrew said with a smile, "This is the VIP bedroom, and you can't do anything wrong with it if you want to use it as your living room. Next to it is my captain's room, so it's very convenient to come to me if you have any questions."

"This is a material warehouse. We have prepared enough daily necessities in Agadi, and we can go back and forth to Nia without replenishing the goods in the middle. This is the power room."

Listening to Andrew's explanation, Ah Hao nodded constantly.

The airship was in a better condition than he thought. The key was that the places Andrew took him to visit were all areas that passengers could never reach. After this round, he also gained more understanding of the structure and principles of the airship.

Andrew sent the two back to the luxurious bedroom: "Then it's almost here, I have to arrange the takeoff. If you have nothing else, the airship is expected to set off in half an hour and head to Nia."

"Oh by the way, I haven't asked yet, which district we are going to go to?"

"Now, just go to Naow's coral platform. Do you know?"

"Then you must know that if you go to other places, I really can't guarantee that I have been to the Coral Platform a few times." Andrew helped close the door with a smile on his face.

Ah Hao looked back and looked at a bedroom carefully. It had three rooms and a shared living room. Each room was equipped with an independent bathroom, making it more than enough for the two of them to live in.

Ilia looked at Ah Hao with some concern: "How about the airship?"

Ah Hao supported himself with his hands and yawned: "That's quite good. Although he had a lot of money in advance, this hard currency can be sold at any time. Even if it's idle, it can still make money, which is much more enjoyable than expected."

Then he collapsed on the chair and his whole body became soft: "I'm so tired. I didn't sleep all night last night, and now I can't bear it."

"I have the energy to recover the potion, come with a bottle?"

"Forget it." Ah Hao waved his hand, "I can't sleep after drinking. I thought I'd better make up for my sleep after driving the boat later. It took me more than a week to come to Blue Flame Bay by boat last time. No matter how fast the airship is, I probably have to drive for three or four days."

Ilia nodded and opened the bag around her waist, put out the mongoose that she had been holding on for a whole day. It was squeaking on Ilia's shoulders, looking a little trembling.

Ilia touched its small head with some pity: "It's all your fault for your stinky tentacles, it scared the little mongoose."

Ah Hao covered his face with his hands and said almost like a murmur: "Ahh, you put this thing in your bag first, I'll make a jar for it tomorrow."

Ilia stretched out her hand to Ah Hao: "Where is the amulet given to you by the priest, I want to see it."

Ahao handed over the [Resurrection Talisman] that Luo Yi gave him.

"Why did that priest give you this amulet for free?"

"This is not a free gift, it is a mission reward issued in advance. Don't I have to go to her when I go back here?"

"It feels no different from giving it for free." Ilia muttered in a low voice and looked at the amulet in her hand.

After being in contact with Shirley for a long time, Ilia could see the material of this talisman at a glance. It should be made of peridot and is green all over. However, there are many cracks in it, and it looks like it is not very valuable.

This amulet is generally square, with a small hole at the top, passing through a string of leather ropes.

But one thing is strange, the cracks in the middle of this square peridot seem particularly regular.

Ilia walked to the window, changed the angle of viewing the sunlight several times, and found that these cracks did vaguely form a shield, which was very special.

She studied it for a while and stuffed the amulet into the arms of the mongoose.

The mongoose held the amulet and refused to let go, with a hint of drunkenness on her face.

Iriya could observe that the green air like a gosser spring was constantly emerging from the amulet and pouring into the mongoose's limbs and bones, helping it recover its old wounds.

"It's quite interesting."
