Chapter 74 Flying Kite in Another World

The production of kites is not complicated, mainly the choice of materials. The skeleton of the kite must be light and flexible, the meat needs to be thin and tension, so as to ensure that the kite can fly and will not be damaged due to too much wind.

After Lin Fan asked Xingsha, he passed the experiment and quickly found materials suitable for making kites.

The skeleton of the kite is prepared to use a branch called the Yaro tree. The paper strips of this tree are tough and elastic; the meat is made of the inner membrane of the black-scale leopard. This inner membrane is under the skin of the black-scale leopard, and it is full of tension. After drying, it looks like a piece of oil paper. Xingsha also found suitable gum and twine for flying kites.

Because the space in the house was too small, Lin Fan and Xingsha moved the materials to the square of the village and began to make kites.

More and more people gathered in the square. Just now, Xingsha had spread the news that Lin Fan was going to make him a special gift throughout the village.

The villagers had seen the trap and arrow tower. When they heard this news, they were curious about what their future lord would do this time. Especially the children in the village looked at the busy Lin Fan in surprise. When his eyes fell on Xingsha, envy appeared in their eyes.

Lin Fan looked at Xingsha who was raising his chin next to him, as if he had won, and smiled in his heart. He knew that Xingsha must have told the news on purpose just now. He did such a thing when he was a child. When he had a new toy, he wished everyone in the world knew about it.

He didn't even point it out, he just buried his head in making kites.

Because the twine is heavy, in order to make the kite fly smoothly, Lin Fan specially made the kite bigger and used half of the inner membrane of the black scale leopard. After it was spread, it was the size of a door panel.

After making the skeleton of the kite, Lin Fan found the prepared black-scale leopard inner membrane. The flexible inner membrane had layers of fish scale markings, which shone with a golden luster in the sun, like the feathers of a bird. Lin Fan casually outlined it with a quill pen and pasted several long tail feathers on the hem. The entire inner membrane looked like a bird spreading its wings and was about to fly.

Seeing this change, the curiosity of the children and villagers next to them was aroused, and they looked at Lin Fan expectantly.

After drawing the inner membrane, the next thing was much simpler. Lin Fan used gum to paste the skeleton on the inner membrane. After the gum was dry, he tied the twine. He tried the angle and when the debugging several times, he lifted the kite up.

The entire kite is nearly two meters long and one meter wide. It flutters slightly in the wind, and looks like a big bird flapping its wings and about to fly. Although it is the first time to make such a big kite, Lin Fan is very satisfied with his work.

"Lin Fan, is it done?" Xingsha asked expectantly at the kite.

"Hmm. Like it?"

"Yeah, I like it!"

Xingsha looked at the kite in Lin Fan's hand with a shining look and nodded. He stretched out his finger and touched the scales on the kite carefully, looked up at Lin Fan and said, "Lin Fan, you said it can fly, but it won't move? How can it fly?" The child next to him saw Xingsha touching the kite, and a hint of envy flashed in his eyes.

"You will know right away. Let's go to the entrance of the village." Lin Fan rubbed Xingsha's hair and said with a smile.

Everyone followed Lin Fan to the entrance of the village. Tatarli was taking people to investigate how to build the city wall drawn by Lin Fan. Seeing a large group of people following Lin Fan, Lin Fan was holding a strange thing in his hand. He couldn't help but feel curious and stepped forward and asked, "Lin Fan, what are you doing?"

"I made a gadget for her." Lin Fan pointed at Xingsha and said.

Xingsha next to him grabbed the conversation and explained proudly: "This is a kite, Lin Fan made it for me! You can fly to the sky!"

"Fly to the sky?" Tatarli was stunned for a moment, looked at the kite in Lin Fan's hand carefully, and looked at Lin Fan with a strange expression: "Lin Fan, you don't seem to know how to use the wind-type spell." She had already regarded Lin Fan as a trick of Xingsha. Such a film and a few wooden frames could fly to the sky. What do you need spells and wings to do?

"I only know fire spells now." Lin Fan nodded. He knew what Tatali was thinking and couldn't help but smile. "You don't seem to believe it. Then you come and take it, and when I tell you to let it go, you let it go."

As the head of Lin Lan Village, Tatali is already competitive. With the contact between the two days, she knew that Lin Fan would not care about these trivial matters. When she heard Lin Fan say this, she raised her eyebrows and immediately took the kite, "Okay, I want to see how this thing flies into the sky."

Lin Fan didn't explain, and felt the direction of the wind. Now the west wind was blowing, he asked Tatari to pinch the skeleton, stand against the wind, and then start to set up lines.

Xingsha looked at Lin Fan nervously. Although he believed that Lin Fan would not lie to him, he was still very nervous when he looked at the kite in Tatali's hand, and he didn't know if the kite could fly. The other children were in the same mood as Xingsha. They looked at the kite in Tatali's hand like a pilgrimage, widening their eyes, and not blinking, waiting for the moment when the kite flew.

"You said this is a kite, can it fly?"

"Since Lord Lin Fan said it could do it, it should do it. Look at the trap, what a clever thought."

"I see, the trap is different from this one. Have you ever heard that something alive can fly into the sky?"

"That's true. It seems that Lord Lin Fan said this on purpose to make Xingsha happy. If we can't fly, we will pretend that we didn't see it. Don't make it difficult for Lord Lin Fan..."

Seeing that Tatali and Lin Fan were competing, the villagers following him immediately started to whisper. Except for a few people supporting Lin Fan, the others' opinions were surprisingly consistent with Tatali, believing that without the help of magic, it would be impossible to let such a dead object fly into the sky.

At this time, Lin Fan had already put the line up. He closed the line up and felt that the tightness was similar, so he said to Tatali: "Let it go!"

Tatali immediately let go, and Lin Fan adapted to the wind speed while running against the wind while holding the twine in his hand. The huge kite shook, and then flew higher and higher. The scales on the inner membrane reflected a golden luster in the sun, as if a golden bird rose in the wind!

Everyone looked at the kite that rose into the air in surprise, and only one thought was left in their minds: it really flew up!

"Flying up!"

"Flying up!"

The children in the village woke up first, jumped up happily, and chased Lin Fan happily. This was the first time they saw such a fun thing, a thread, a few wood, and a wild animal film, which could turn into a giant bird flying into the sky! This was amazing! The children were so excited that their faces turned red, and some young children pointed at the kites in the sky, dancing with their hands and snot, and screaming.

"It actually flew up..." Tatali looked at the kite flying higher and higher above her head, and said aloud.

At this time, someone patted her gently. Tatali looked down and saw that Meimei had come to her at some point. She blinked at her and said, "Don't be surprised, you will adapt soon. However, next time I suggest you don't bet with him."

Hearing the beautiful words of Mai, Tatali didn't know what expression to do. Her amber eyes looked at Lin Fan, who was surrounded by the child.

"Lin Fan, you are so awesome!" Xingsha stood beside Lin Fan, looked at the kite flying higher and higher, and happily pulled Lin Fan's sleeves.

Lin Fan felt that the kite had flown smoothly, so he handed the twine to Xingsha and said, "Xingsha, come and try it."

"Me, can I?" Xingsha looked at the twine handed over by Lin Fan, with a little surprised look, but he did not go to pick it up immediately.

"Of course, come, I'll teach you." Lin Fan held Xingsha's hands and asked Xingsha to hold the twine and looked at the kite. "Look, as long as you keep the string tight, the kite will fly smoothly in the air. If you want the kite to fly higher, slowly set the string, but not too fast, otherwise the kite may fall..."

Lin Fan carefully explained to Xingsha how to fly a kite, but he didn't notice that Xingsha's whole face had blushed to the base of his neck, and the answering voice turned into a tiny trace...
