Chapter 80 (1/2)
To Kaichou-sama the short journey might as well have been a year long journey. Meanwhile, others could chat the time away.
Although one must marvel at how fast the airs.h.i.+p could move, it is really astounding. It’s not as fast as an airplane though otherwise the people on board would have been blown away to G.o.d knows where. It is still a s.h.i.+p in the end.
Now what does one mean by it being fast then? That’s because form time to time it becomes enveloped by some magic formation.
Going into it, from the perspectives of onlooker they will only feel slightly disorientated and then poof, a complete change of scenery!
Yes you guessed it those magic formations are s.p.a.ce displacement magic formation more commonly known as teleportation circles!
How f.u.c.king big is Silvaria? Well, no one knows for sure, no one has seen the edge of this world, so how would they know how wide it is?!
Wu Yan has only been here for no more than a few months, but he has heard from the System on how big this world is. According to it, it’s 10 times bigger than earth! (Tl: now some of you might be wondering how big, the raw does not specify whether it’s 10x earth’s diameter or ma.s.s, for the purpose of the story let’s just it’s slightly smaller than yo momma!)
In this huge a.s.s world the airs.h.i.+p is the fastest transportation vehicle not because of its speed per se but because of this teleporation circles!
Fixed in the sky, these formations goes way back in time on the pages of Silvaria’s history, it was built by the gargantuan spending of resources by big a.s.s faactions all for the purpose of making travelling to places that much more expedient.
Normally, the formations are hidden away, even if someone were to fly past it they wouldn’t react at all.
Built on the airs.h.i.+ps are tiny activation formations, once the airs.h.i.+ps make contact with the teleportation circles the activation circle will trigger the hidden circles and summon it out for the purpose of sending people far far away!
Thus only airs.h.i.+ps are able to use these teleporation formations!
Suppose Wu Yan’s is going to their destination by his own world’s airplane, from their departure point to the arrival destination it would still take it 3 days and 3 nights even on its fastest speed!
With the help of airs.h.i.+ps and teleportation circles, these long distances can be traversed in mere 2 or 3 hours.
When the airhsip pa.s.sed through another formation the old dude appeared and told everyone, they have arrived.
What appeared before them is a normal mountain range. It’s not that tall, not that short, not that long or short, it’s truly average in every sense of the word.
When they saw the mountain range everyone on board were thinking the same thing. Does this place really have any treasure hidden within it? Wu Yan & company thought the same thing.
“Everyone, we are now making the descent please make your preparations!”
The airs.h.i.+p slowed down and slowly desceded upon a mountain top…..
People poured out from the airs.h.i.+p. They didn’t go out in any orderly fas.h.i.+on, the various organizations mobilized as they see fit. It’s fortunate that the place could still pa.s.s as being called wide otherwise it would be hard to imagine these people squeezing against each other in a tight s.p.a.ce…
“Are you feeling better?”
Ikaros ‘carried’ down a certain object, she then dumped the lump of stardust in her hands down in an inconspicuous spot.
Hinagiku is still feeling weak in her knees and barely could stand up. When she got dumped she plopped down on the floor with Lirin in her arms. Heaving and panting, Mikoto got close to her to alleviate her discomfort.
Wu Yan? He’s busy enjoying some good old schadenfreude while feeling helpless alongside an expressionless Ikaros.
“I’m fine, there’s nothing wrong with me now, please don’t worry…”
She forced herself when she saw Lirin and Mikoto being all worried for her. Forcing a few laugh while being pale, at least this place is much better than being on the airs.h.i.+p.
About the same time as the last of the search party got down from the airs.h.i.+p, she managed to recover her vitality somewhat.
“Those who have the map jotted down must know the journey I presume? Those without one please follow us. Let’s go, everyone!
Maybe it’s because they’re finally down to business since they’re at the treasure’s hideout, the old dude didn’t bother dilly dallying. Once he sees that everyone has made their way down from the s.h.i.+p, he commenced the search after everyone has got into position.
And so, big and small, a variety of groups started moving towards the location of the treasure.
“It’s about time we move as well!”
Patting her on the back he turned to everyone after she nodded.
