Chapter 407 The Meaning of Transfiguration
The emergence of hot air balloons has not been a secret from the beginning. With so many textile craftsmen busy together in Shahela Square, everyone can clearly see it, and Tang En has no intention of keeping it a secret.
After guiding the dark elves and Ellington warriors to assemble the hot air balloon, Tang En decided to try to verify the reliability of the hot air balloon first.
Tang En personally started the modified dwarf steam engine. The scorching flame poured hot air into the semi-sealed hot air balloon, and the air bag gradually inflated.
"What is he doing?"
Hailey asked Laura curiously, the queen must know what he was going to do.
"He's going to fly."
"Fly with this big guy? Flying skills? This big guy is not light."
"No, it was this big guy called a hot air balloon that took him and the pile of rocks up."
Laura stared at the busy Tang En intently. A man who focused on his work was always full of charm, not to mention the bonus of a perfect bloodline?
"Fly with him? How is this possible!"
Hailey smiled and said: "Unless that thing has constant levitation or flight."
After the airbag slowly inflated, Tang En was very satisfied to find that the weaving skills of the dark elf textile craftsmen were very perfect, and there was basically no air leakage. Of course, it is normal for the sewn airbag to leak, but as long as The refills are fast enough that this isn't a big deal.
"Everyone give in."
When Tang En saw that the air bag was almost ready, he jumped into the hanging basket. The hanging basket was already filled with many stones used as counterweights, which were also substitutes for magic iron bombs.
The curious adventurers dispersed, and as the heat gradually spurted out, the hot air balloon began to shake.
"Wait!? What did I see? That, that thing floated!?"
An adventurer wiped his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.
"Oh my god! There are so many rocks in it, and it actually flies!? Does this thing really not use flying skills?!"
The adventurers exclaimed again and again.
"Flying without using magic is so illogical!"
Tang En didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Isn't it logical that hot air balloons can fly without magic?
Meng Kahn looked astonished: "How is this possible! There must be some magic circle up there, right? Are those stones floating stones?"
Kao shook his head and said with a shocked look on his face: "How is it possible that if there are so many floating stones, he still needs to come here?"
Floating stone is a special kind of ore collected from the floating island. According to Purandar's records, there are floating stones deep underground, but since the underground world was isolated from the surface world, no one has seen it again.
The main reason why floating stones are so valuable is that magicians with the ability to fly and high-level apocalypse are unwilling to work as miners.
High-level Apocalypse, such as extraordinary warriors, already have the ability to stay in the air for a short period of time and can also reach the floating island. But if their strength reaches their level, there will be a lot of people willing to rush to send the money. In their hands, they no longer need to dig floating stones to make money.
Who would want to go mining with someone with that kind of power? Only some mages would bring some back when they went to the floating island to conduct experiments.
Coupled with the restrictions on magicians in the City of Silver, the production of floating stones is very small, and the small amount of floating stones circulating in the market is very expensive.
The floating stone has mysterious power and can be suspended in the air, just like the constant levitation technique. The nobles of many countries like to use this special ore to decorate their mansions, and some will inlay a small amount of floating stone. On the carriage, reduce the load on the carriage to make the carriage run faster...
What? You mean to make the whole carriage levitate?
Believe me, they must have had this idea, but looking at the entire Purandar, there are probably only a few people who can afford that level of luxury.
Ursa suddenly said: "Look, it's really flying!"
Isn't it? The huge hot air balloon swelled, and after dangling for a moment, it floated up with the hanging basket. The rope that bound the hot air balloon gradually rose, and then tightened, fixing it in place so that it would not be messed up. With the wind.
"It took nearly five minutes to start inflating and fly. The efficiency is very good."
Tang En murmured to himself and jumped a little. The hanging basket only shook, there was no violent tremor, and the stability was quite good.
After looking at the tilt angle, Tang En put some ropes and tried to use a turbo fan to adjust the direction of the hot air balloon. He mastered the technique in a short time.
To put it bluntly, it is the same as model airplanes. The airflow blown by the turbine fan pushes the hot air balloon forward in the opposite direction. Of course, since it is connected to the main body of the balloon by a rope, the thrust cannot be too large, otherwise the hanging basket will roll over. But this convenient adjustment method is at least easy to master.
Under everyone's gaze, after Tang En tested the performance of the hot air balloon in all aspects, he slowed down the jet speed. After a while, the hot air balloon landed again.
Laura came forward: "Great! I really didn't feel the fluctuation of magic power! Is this the 'physical' effect you mentioned?"
"Well……"
Tang En smiled bitterly and said, "That's what you think."
"If it can be used in the magic vacuum zone, maybe it can really kill that big guy!"
Laura was obviously full of resentment towards that guy. After so many years of doing nothing, he suddenly showed up and ruined the Demon Abyss Competition, killing three precious male dark elves!
"It must be no problem."
Tang En nodded confidently, then waved his hand and shouted: "Start now, warm up all the hot air balloons!"
Everyone dispersed in a hurry and started to get busy. Since there was no ban, the adventurers who had nothing to do with it all gathered curiously to watch the fun.
While most people were preheating the hot air balloon, Twain recruited nineteen Ellington warriors, all of whom were trustworthy and familiar faces, including Brian Locke, Danny, Ultraman and others.
"Wait! Big brother! What did you call me for!?"
Brian's face turned pale: "You don't want me to fly into the sky on this thing, do you?"
"No way? This is underground!"
"No! I won't die!"
Brian hugged a pillar next to him with all his strength, preferring death to surrender: "The feet of mountain dwarves will never leave the ground!"
"What a disgrace to the dwarves! Let me do it!"
Barrod looked at Brian with disdain and volunteered.
Brian sneered again and again, let this guy who has never left the underground know the fear of being dominated by the sky!
Laura suddenly stopped Barrod, and then she said to Tang En with a smile: "Let me do it, how about it?"
Barrod scratched his head. He also wanted to try this new thing.
Tang En imagined the two of them crowded in the hanging basket, and then decisively chose Laura.
Laura was very satisfied that her charm had taken effect. She proudly gave Barrod a provocative look, and then blew a kiss to Tang En.
Tang En ignored the blowing kiss and began to give them simple training.
It doesn't require them to be highly skilled. They can at least simply take off and land to control the direction. They just need to fly above the Titan, then activate and throw the prepared magic iron bomb.
Although they couldn't figure out the principle of flying, Tang En had no problem asking them to memorize these operation methods.
There are two people on each hot air balloon, one person controls it, and the other person throws the bomb. It is simple and efficient. Including Tang En, there are twenty people in total.
When they were almost familiar with it, the other nine hot air balloons had also been warmed up, and Tang En ordered them to go up in groups to familiarize themselves with the operation.
"Shouldn't we use it?"
Tang En ignored Laura's passionate eyes: "No need, I will control the hot air balloon, and then you can just throw the bomb."
Laura was very disappointed. She also wanted to experience the feeling of flying a hot air balloon in person.
After about an hour, everyone was familiar with the operation, and Tang En asked them to move all the stones out of the hanging basket, and then replaced them with magic iron bombs. There were thirty of them on a hot air balloon, which was quite heavy.
When everything was ready and ready to set off, Laura suddenly thought of a very serious question: "Wait! I suddenly remembered, how do you take such a huge hot air balloon over?"
You have to pass through several caves on the way to the Demon Abyss. The tunnels in some caves are so narrow that it is impossible for a hot air balloon to pass through.
When Laura said this, everyone else came back to their senses. They all looked at each other, and finally they all looked at Tang En.
It's impossible that he hasn't considered this issue, right?
Tang En looked at Laura very strangely: "As a spell caster, you would actually ask this question?"
Laura raised her eyebrows and was about to refute Tang En when she saw Tang En reaching out and a few beams of magic power quickly wrapped around the huge hot air balloon. Then the adventurers were stunned to see that the huge hot air balloon finally turned out to be... It became only the size of a fist, floating in the air like a child's toy!
Tang En shook his fingers and said helplessly: "Isn't the transformation technique prepared for this kind of situation?"
"is that so?"
Laura was stunned.
Tang En held five hot air balloons in one hand, like a playful child: "Now, let's go."
A group of people agreed and followed Tang En in a mighty way to the Demonic Abyss. Even the adventurers who were unaware at the beginning became interested in joining in the fun and followed them. For a moment, the huge Salhera Most of the city was actually empty.
Laura, who had a weird face, stared at Tang En's back, and she was still so shocked that she hadn't come back to her senses.
Transfiguration, has such a strong effect?
Laura didn't know what kind of transformation technique Tang En mastered, but she knew that as the agent of God, the transformation technique she mastered could never reach this level!
