Chapter 19 Southbound(2/2)
The main reasons were that the heat dissipation pipes had various problems at low temperatures, and the Guy gas generator they assembled themselves was not in good working condition, resulting in the air bag not being able to lift off at full capacity.
There are also some minor flaws that were exposed in the windy and snowy temperatures. This is something they did not expect when they originally tested the platform.
Fortunately, with a professional alchemist like him here, the problem was finally solved temporarily by tinkering.
"When the temperature is at its lowest in the middle of the night, we have to go out and check again."
"Do you need me to wake you up? I just plan to work until midnight."
"What's wrong?"
"When planning a route, the information on the map is not always reliable. The information must be updated all the time and marked." Miss Ship Officer put down the map: "The bridges in some places were interrupted by floods in the summer, and there is still time.
Some news about repairs or roads being buried by mudslides came recently, so the plans had to be changed."
"Besides, passing through the north of Kaolin, summer and winter are different. These are things that I, as a ship officer, have to consider."
"But don't worry, I'll knock on the door before you come in."
Fang Yu heard her teasing and smiled.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome, Captain."
on deck.
Jita put down the communication crystal in her hand and lay on the side of the ship watching Mr. Huiyan swaying forward in the wind and snow. Miss Yugudora knew a few days ago that their group would leave today.
But it was a pity that she still couldn't come to see them off. Although she expressed her wish in the communication, Miss Naturalist still felt a little pity.
Miss Yugudola is actually a good person, but everyone in the group has some grudges against her.
Jita couldn't help but think of what Miss Yugudora said to her and Luo Yu before leaving:
"You don't have to think too much."
"Leave the guild affairs to me."
She was very short, a head shorter than Luo Yu. She only reached out and patted Jita's shoulder. Then she frowned and looked at Luo Yu: "Luo Yu, you are too tall."
Luo Yu could only smile bitterly.
"Anyway, this is your first adventure."
"Behave well."
"Although I have preserved the origin of Tapolis for you, you will only be responsible for your team after that."
"If there are other guild leaders giving random orders to you, just ignore them."
"Just come to me."
The two of them looked at her a little puzzled, not understanding why she said that.
Yugudola smiled: "It's just a vaccination. You have to be careful of those stone heads, you know."
Both of them nodded.
"Okay," Yugudora replied, "Go back. I shouldn't have come to you in the first place. This is a bit against the rules, but I'm worried that you may suffer a loss due to your inexperience."
"After all, this is your first adventure."
"Mr. Ed won't mind these little things." Jita shook her head.
"It's precisely because he won't mind, so we have to be more measured," Yugudora smiled: "The same goes for getting along with teammates, respect is always mutual."
If Hongye were here, she would definitely hold her forehead and say: "Miss Yugudola, you may not get along well with other people in the guild."
However, Jita and Luo Yu only nodded honestly.
And this is what Yugudola likes about these two little guys.
Jita retracted her thoughts and sighed quietly, watching Mr. Gray Rock walking farther and farther in the wind and snow, gradually leaving Grande's outer wall behind, leaving only a thin line on the horizon.
The Gray Mountain Bears are naturally cold-resistant, and their thick fur makes them not afraid of wind and snow. It will take them from the north of Kaolin through Tibia Creek to the Cave Bottom Mountains. Along the way, there are several small towns where they can seek supplies.
, there are barren mountains and ridges in the middle.
And everyone knows in their hearts that after leaving Grande, it will be the beginning of a long journey.
…
In the Grand Port area, Yugudora also put down the communication crystal in her hand. She raised her head, her blue eyes reflecting the port that was gradually covered with snow.
There is no such thing as a frozen port or an ice-free port in the air and sea of Aitaria. However, due to the disappearance of etheric magic in winter, winter is indeed not conducive to navigation in some seas further north.
Of course, in the winter in Grande, the port is still busy, with ships coming in and out from time to time. The orange lights on the ships add the only warm color to the cold-toned port.
When others saw her finishing the call, they came up and asked: "Captain, have you started taking action?"
Yugudora turned back and glanced at him: "Calm it down."
"knock off?"
"The operation is cancelled. Let's collect the team and go home."
"What?" The others were stunned. The target was right in front of them. Why did they have to close the team and go home?
At first they thought it was the eldest lady's usual joke, but looking at the look on her face, it seemed that she was really serious this time. People looked at each other, not quite understanding what was going on. They were busy working on this quest line here.
After busy preparations for more than a month, I finally got a satisfactory result.
Is the information wrong?
Or did you get the wrong target?
Zifeiyu also walked out of the crowd and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yugudora shook her head: "An order from the guild headquarters."
"What's going on? Are the people in the guild crazy?"
"No, it means the Super Competitive Alliance."
"The Super Competitive Alliance wants us to give up this task?" Zi Feiyu seemed a little surprised. The Super Competitive Alliance does have a strong binding force on guilds and clubs, but it will not interfere with the normal activities within the guild.
"It's not just our mission," Yugudora shook her head: "All guild activities have been stopped."
"What?"
"It is said that the matter of Listening to the Rain and the Dragon Fire Guild has attracted the attention of the top management. All guilds are required to conduct self-examination within a limited time. The Super Competitive Alliance will also send people down to station in all guilds."
"But we are not doing this now?" Others felt a little unreasonable: "And we are also the victims of the Dragon Fire Guild incident. Don't they have any brains?"
"They don't think so."
"No one can rule out suspicion." Yugudola replied quietly.
Zifeiyu looked at his old partner: "But that's not the case?"
Lady Gray glanced at him: "Why are you so smart? That's right. There are rumors that the Super Competitive Alliance wants to further strengthen the constraints on guilds. Our application to go to the second world also ran into trouble. There is an intention within the alliance to request
All guilds behind the Star Gate must have a foundation in reality."
"He who listens to the rain also has a basis in reality," Zi Feiyu said with a smile: "Does it make sense?"
"Whether it makes sense or not is one thing, but it makes sense logically. Strengthening supervision on the other side is indeed conducive to preventing such things from happening." Yugudora looked at the distance: "Of course you know, what about the specifics?
It's something else."
"What did the guild say?"
"There will be endless debates. If the Super Competitive Alliance insists on having its own way, we will be under a lot of pressure, but Tapolis is a free guild after all, and this cannot be changed."
Zifeiyu looked at Yugudora, the latter's words seemed more like she was trying to convince herself.
But she didn't explain: "Let's take it one step at a time. Surface work still needs to be done, but after the guild, the next step is the adventure group."
"Adventure group?"
"I have a hunch."
Yugudora's eyes seemed to be looking through the port area, looking in one direction in the wind and snow.
After a while, without waiting for other people's comments to come to a conclusion, she turned around and walked into the wind and snow in the opposite direction. Before leaving, she only left one meaningless sentence:
"The red leaves are coming back."
