Forced to become a delicate companion of a paranoid lord

When Luo Jin and his companions went to Hutt Island, due to lack of time, Xie Wei could only improve the flying props he obtained by drawing cards and have someone make a batch of them for them to use first.

Considering that the tribesmen left behind on the island by Luo Jin were all older or injured, they would not be able to follow Ryan and the others over the snow-capped mountains back to Good City. If they took a detour, it would be quite difficult given the terrain of the Far North Territory.

So after looking up some information, Xie Wei decided to make an alien version of a hot air balloon.

Compared to other aircraft, the production method of hot air balloons is much simpler, but it still needs some modifications according to the conditions of the Laer continent.

Even when it is not the day of the red moon, there are flying monsters hunting everywhere in the sky above the Lar continent. Ordinary hot air balloons can easily be attacked by flying monsters or some flying monsters with bad tempers in the sky.

At first, Xie Wei didn't know the difference between Warcraft and monsters until Thrall told him that monsters are irrational magical creatures. They cannot reproduce like other creatures, but can be resurrected indefinitely.

At present, scholars on the Lar continent have not yet figured out the origin of monsters, but have temporarily determined that they are the relics of the demons from ancient times.

The demons are a powerful and evil race recorded in the holy scriptures. In ancient times, plagues, disasters, and the shadow of the demons shrouded the entire Lar continent. At that time, the moon was red every day. The demons fed on the flesh and blood of other races, but the source of their power was the red moon. Even if they did not hunt other races, they could have unlimited life and power under the red moon.

But this race still enjoys hunting other races and is completely unable to communicate.

Although the monsters on the Lar continent today are not as powerful as the demons recorded in the scriptures, their huge numbers and the ability to resurrect infinitely are also quite a headache.

On the last day of the fourth month of spring in the Far North Territory, Xie Wei and other magicians experimented with the newly made hot air balloon in the morning.

This hot air balloon uses fire magic crystals as fuel, and the upper part of the sphere is made of a kind of cloth woven by the Parasau people. This cloth is generally used to build tents. It is very strong and can withstand the air pressure during ascent.

Small defensive magic circles are engraved on the spherical fabric of the hot air balloon and the basket below. A suspension magic circle is also engraved on the bottom of the basket. Combined with the magic props in the basket, it can change direction and consume magic crystals to generate buoyancy for emergency when the balloon is damaged.

Xie Wei has not yet developed a magic that can increase the speed of a hot air balloon without relying on wind power, but the hot air balloons he has made now can allow the contracted flying monsters to assist in flying when the wind direction is not suitable.

A hot air balloon can carry up to 20 people, and 10 small flying monsters can pull the hot air balloon for a day. A journey that takes three days on horseback can be reached in one day with a hot air balloon. If it is replaced with a medium or large flying monster, the speed will be even faster.

Although magicians can use flying magic to fly for a short period of time, the magic power consumed is not something ordinary magicians can afford. Most magicians will only use flying magic in individual cases, and the flight height and time are very limited.

So far, apart from the magicians' flying magic or signing contracts with large flying monsters, there is no other way on the Lar continent for non-feathered people to fly in the air.

Although the gliding props that Xie Wei gave to Luo Jin and others were amazing enough, in a sense, it was not really like bird-like flying, and in principle it was easier to understand.

As for the people on the Lar continent, the flying principle of hot air balloons is a new kind of magic that no one has ever used before.

Everyone in the castle already knew that Xie Wei had a talent for magic, but all they knew was that His Highness Shiyavi had suddenly awakened his talent for magic and had just started learning magic.

It is impossible for a beginner in magic to create a new magic, so when Xie Wei started making hot air balloons, the Parasau people in Naya Castle were divided into two factions.

One group trusts Xie Wei unconditionally, while the other group thinks that Xie Wei is young and has wild ideas.

Gesan secretly reported to Xie Wei that everyone was betting privately on whether the hot air balloon could fly.

Xie Wei had already done small model experiments and knew that his hot air balloon could fly, but he felt a little pressured after hearing this.

Standing in the open space in front of the castle, I watched the hot air balloon carrying dozens of magicians rise into the sky. It first flew steadily for a while, and then was pulled by flying monsters to fly around the city of Gute.

Xie Wei leaned on Sal and exhaled slowly, then buried his face in Sal's arms with red ears amid all kinds of words of praise around him.

The people of Parasau were very enthusiastic and generous with their praise. Their direct and even exaggerated praise made Xie Wei unable to face such a scene.

The praise he received in the past few months was not as much as the praise he received in his previous life and the dozen years in this life combined. He was actually very happy in his heart, but he just felt a little uncomfortable.

The Lord of the Snowfield thought his partner was too cute. He stretched out his hand and pinched Shevi's red ears. Thrall laughed softly and said, "Yagne of our Snowfield, my little prince, everyone says that you are the greatest magician on the Lar continent. I think so too."

"Sal, please stop talking."

Little Rose's voice was soft, and it made people feel a little itchy, but Sal finally just kissed the top of his partner's head and did not do anything that was very normal in the eyes of the Parasau people, but was not acceptable to Shevi.

The morning of the Red Moon was relatively calm, with no monsters appearing, but Sal was in the habit of keeping Shevi protected in the attic bedroom throughout the day.

He was afraid that the monsters in the Far North Territory would scare his little rose, so after lunch, he would ask Gesan to cover all the windows in the attic bedroom with curtains and forbid Xie Wei to leave the bedroom.

Although Shevi is now given a lot of freedom, on the day of the red moon, Thrall still retains his previous autocracy.

After accompanying Xie Wei to watch the hot air balloon successfully take off in the experiment, Sal didn't let Xie Wei worry about what happened next.

After returning to the attic bedroom, Sal changed Shevi into a room robe and untied his braids, which meant that he was not allowed to go out today.

Although Xie Wei wanted to join Nico and the others in the actual combat of Red Moon, he knew that Thrall would not agree for the time being, and he did not want to distract Thrall on the day of Red Moon, so he did not bring it up.

There was still some time before lunch, so Sal took Shewei and sat on the couch. He took out a book and read to Shewei. After reading for a while, he found that Shewei was a little absent-minded. After putting the book down, he pointed to the dragon egg placed on the table not far away and said.

"Shiavi, when your dragon hatches, I will allow you to participate in actual combat with Nico and the others during the red moon."

Xie Wei looked up at Sal, then lowered his head and muttered something in a low voice.

Sal heard clearly what Little Rose said.

"That's too much. That will take a long time."

The Lord of the Snowfield did not refute, but turned over and pressed his partner under him, then kissed that unconvinced mouth until it was a little red and swollen, and then asked his little rose.

"After the dragon egg hatches, I'll let you participate in actual combat, okay?"

With a pair of misty eyes open, the man who had not yet recovered spoke very obediently this time.

"understood."

He didn't say "OK", but rather "I understand". This was Xie Wei's last stubbornness.
