453 Leons Work of Ar (1/2)
The loud propellers immediately drew the attention of the rat tide, causing them to glance into the skies.
Shortly after, waves after waves of rats to leap into the sky, attempting to attack and destroy the airship that was the source of their irritation.
The Wingrats were great leapers, but the best height amongst their large numbers did not exceed 180fts, causing them to fall short by 120fts from the airship.
Nevertheless, it still made the entire crew apprehensive.
The leaping rat tide moved like the ocean waves, except it was not the salty seawater battering against the sandy shores but a sea of death.
The crew gulped nervously while the airship flew past the endless rat tide. It was not only a terrifying sight to behold, but the rats' incessant squeaks were grating to the ears.
Leon had no time to inspect the two rat carcasses he brought with him and could only leave them for later. After pondering for a moment, he recalled something.
”What is this?” Asked Supreme Elder Haldir after Leon pulled out two strange pendants from his interspatial storage space.
”This?” Leon inspected the two enchanted pendants in his hands for a moment before he said, ”Probably something that can help the airship fly over the Great Forest.”
The enchanted pendants could shield people from the gravitational pressure of the sky, allowing Transcendents to fly freely without restraint within the sky suppression zone.
It was up to Leon to figure out how to increase the enchanted pendants' output coverage to encompass the entire airship.
If the gravitational pressure of the sky were removed, the flight altitude of all airships equipped with levitation devices would definitely not be limited to 600fts!
When Supreme Elder Haldir recalled the two Transcendents flying deep in the sky suppression zone previously, he quickly guessed the enchanted pendants belonged to them.
”How?” Supreme Elder Haldir asked curiously with great interest.
”Hmm…”
Leon pondered for a moment before coming up with a solution in his mind.
”I got it.”
He quickly dispelled the wind current driving the airship forward and ordered the captain to reduce its flight speed.
”Give me a moment to tinker with these things,” Leon said.
He took a seat on the flat deck and took out his special scribing pen and a few fat spirit stones. Before he started tinkering, he scanned the pendants with his divine sense and engraved everything into his mind.
Going a step further, he requested Maya to scan and record the pendant's diagram in the Archive in case he screwed up and destroy both enchanted pendants.
Once he finished his preparations, he began tinkering immediately.
The red crystals embedded in the pendants were scraped off with the special scribing pen, Ravenous Black. These red crystals were artificial-Spirit Energy in their crystallized form.
Although Leon was curious where the Geyser Kingdom procured them, he could only ponder about it later.
He shortly altered both pendant's socket sizes to refit the fat, round supreme-grade spirit stone.
Of course, the fist-size spirit stones were too big to entirely fit inside the pendants' empty sockets. Only a fraction of its side fitted, but that was all Leon needed to get it working.
Once he achieved that, he used a rope and bind the two objects together firmly, removing the possibility of the spirit stones falling out of the pendant's sockets.
In a short while, the alterations were completed.
”It's done,” Leon exclaimed, appearing satisfied with his improvised work.
The three people glanced over at the object expectantly with curiosity. However, their expression quickly turned dubious with suspicions.
”Are you sure this… thing… will work, young prince?” Supreme Elder Haldir asked doubtfully while staring at the two enchanted pendants and jade-like rocks tied together messily with a flimsy rope.
