Chapter 342 The Little Girl on the Airship
After receiving the dumplings, Gothe took out all the tree species he had collected during this period.
Because he was already planning to take advantage of this mission to teleport back to the north through the star realm, bring a new batch of extraordinary materials, and take action directly in Lagos City.
He sorted the tree species into small cloth bags, then packed them into a large package and carried them all on his back.
Most of the collected tree species are ordinary tree species, and a very small part are low-level demonic tree species.
The emphasis is on diversity of species.
So, it didn’t cost Gaode too much money, and the total amount was actually only about 10 gold.
Gaode planned very clearly. He first used different types of tree species to catalyze the growth progress of Yuga Tshila as quickly as possible, and then considered the stacking quantity and quality.
Afterwards, bring [North Wind] with you.
If [Frozen Blade+] is his trump card, then [North Wind] is his underwear. It is something that can really save lives at critical moments. There is no reason not to bring it.
With everything ready, Gaode officially set off.
With the developed transportation network of the Plantagenet Dynasty, there are a variety of transportation modes to choose from from Dorne City to Lagos City.
It can be used in land, water or air.
Water is a boat, land is a long-distance carriage, and air is an airship.
The fastest way is of course the airship, but of course it is also the most expensive.
But for Gaode, there is only one choice.
Airship!
But it’s not that he is so enthusiastic about the task, nor is it because he is embarrassed, but because he can be reimbursed.
Since you can be reimbursed, wouldn’t you be a fool if you don’t take the airship and suffer the hardship of taking a boat or a long-distance carriage?
The air route distance from Dorne to Lagos is 361 kilometers.
I bought an airship ticket from Dorne City to Lagos City, which cost 2 gold, 1 silver and 60 copper and stone coins.
Of course, this is the price of the ordinary cabin.
The luxury cabin maritime sentry is not reimbursed. Only those with a military rank of lieutenant level or above can enjoy this high-level treatment.
When boarding the airship, the airship staff responsible for "security inspection" stopped Gothe as expected.
"According to regulations, other creatures are generally not allowed to be carried on airships." The staff pointed to the capybara bag carried behind Gaode's back.
Gaode took out Tuanzi's "registration certificate" and handed it to the other party.
The staff took the registration certificate, checked the magic seal of the sea sentinel on the cover, and then asked Gaode to open the capybara bag and confirmed that it contained capybara before returning the registration certificate to Gaode.
Then, he saluted Gaode, "Master Mage, I wish you success in your mission."
As a Sentinel Mage, he took a capybara with him on a long trip. It was definitely not a vacation, but a mission.
Gaode smiled and thanked him, then put the capybara bag on his back again, carefully put away the airship receipt that was later used as a reimbursement voucher, and then followed the passage and boarded the airship.
For some reason, the attendance rate of this airship was extremely low.
As soon as Gothe stepped into the ordinary cabin, he glanced casually and found that more than half of the seats in the cabin were empty. It seemed particularly deserted, which was completely different from the scene on the airship he took from Holder Town to Dorne City.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems reasonable.
With the depletion of spiritual marrow resources, the city of Lagos gradually returned to its original state.
Even because of the spiritual marrow craze during that period, people were filled with the wealth and opportunities brought by the spiritual marrow, and a large amount of labor and wealth poured into the spiritual marrow-related industries.
The two traditional industries of agriculture and fishery in Lagos City have been pushed to the margins, with farmland left uncultivated and fishing boats abandoned on the shore.
But in fact, these two industries are the pillars supporting the economy of Lagos City.
Hence, with the end of the spiritual craze, the prosperity of Lagos City also quickly dissipated like a bubble.
But unlike before, the once prosperous agriculture and fishery are difficult to regain their former vitality.
In other words, the current city of Lagos is even more depressed than before the discovery of the spiritual essence. It is a "rural" area in Barrow County.
Thinking like this, Gaode already carried the package, sat down in his slightly small position, closed his eyes, and entered a state of concentration.
He began to continue trying to construct a spell model for [Disguise].
This is a spell that is foreseeable and will be used soon, so Gothe doesn't want to waste any time, he just wants to master it as soon as possible, so that it will be easier to do next.
The airship that Gaude took was a specialized passenger ship. The starting station was Dorne City and the terminal station was Lagos City. Along the way, it would land at airship bases in several small towns to pick up and disembark passengers.
The airship itself is fairly stable, but there are still some bumps every time it takes off and lands.
However, this will not have much impact on Gaode.
With the blessing of [Dharma Ninja Body], he can ignore most external interference as long as he is willing.
Until Gothe noticed that there seemed to be some strange creature "squirming" near him.
He opened his eyes in surprise, looked at his feet, and then opened his mouth unconsciously.
Because, Gothe saw a little girl wearing linen clothes, crawling at his feet in a strange posture.
The little girl looks to be only five or six years old. Her eyes are very big and bright, but her face is a little gray.
At this moment, she was staring at Gothe with her big eyes. Her clear blue eyes revealed an emotion called nervousness and begging, just like a poor stray cat.
Help me.”
She opened and closed her mouth, but did not make a sound, but shouted to Gao Dexu.
Children, it is polite to add the word "please" when asking for help. Gaode raised his head and found that there was an airship staff member in the aisle looking left and right, as if he was looking for something.
There is no need to act like this, combined with the behavior of the little girl hiding under his feet, it is obvious that he is looking for her.
There is no doubt that it is the wisest choice to confess the little girl directly, because Gaode has no idea who the little girl is and why she wants to avoid the staff.
If you are a good person randomly, you are very likely to be involved in unnecessary trouble.
Gaode is also prepared to do this.
However, just when he was about to say hello to the staff, the little girl seemed to have noticed something and weakly tugged on his trousers.
The innocent eyes were filled with tears at this moment, looking extremely fragile.
Gothe looked at this scene, and for some reason, his heart softened for no reason.
If it were anyone else, he would not be so easy-hearted, but this was a child.
· To children, it is difficult for a person who has received modern education to be "cruel".
"Help me." The little girl lowered her head slightly, and two tears had already slipped from under her long and raised eyelashes. She looked extremely pitiful and asked in a childish and inaudible voice.
Gothe clenched his fists and then loosened them helplessly.
He spread his feet and placed the package on his legs.
The little girl was very smart, and she immediately realized what Gothe meant, and got between Gothe's legs very neatly.
Afterwards, Gothe closed his legs, and the package just covered the little girl.
This is when the staff member happened to come to Gaode's seat.
"Sir, I'm sorry to bother you, have you seen a little girl, about this tall, wearing a dress?" the staff member described to Gothe while gesturing.
He could clearly feel that when the staff described the little girl's appearance, his trousers were tightened, and the little girl was obviously very nervous.
"I didn't see it," Gothe shook his head, and then asked "curiously": "What's wrong?"
The staff member didn't seem to be in the mood to chat with the passengers. Seeing Gothe shaking his head, he squatted down, as if preparing for further inspection.
However, Gothe had already slightly opened his cloak at the right time and without leaving any trace.
Because the uniform of the sea sentry was too conspicuous, in order to keep a low profile and avoid attracting attention, Gothe put on a common thick woolen cloak that reached to his knees and had a hood to cover the uniform.
Now with such a movement, the sea sentry uniform inside was immediately revealed.
The expression of the staff who was a little "indifferent" a second ago changed slightly, and immediately became enthusiastic, "Master Mage, someone is evading the fare."
"Fare evasion?" Gothe frowned, "A little girl?" Regarding the money matter, the main reason is that she did not follow the master, and we are afraid of something happening."
"That's it," Gothe nodded, and then said: "If I find out, I will tell you as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Master Mage." The staff member said politely, touching his chest with one hand.
The original inspection action was not continued.
In the territory of Byro County, the Sea Sentinel Mage naturally carries a certain degree of credibility and dignity.
Keep watching the staff member check it in the ordinary cabin. After leaving the ordinary cabin, Gao De put the package on the seat aside and then spread his legs.
The little girl squatted down with her hands on Gothe's legs, raised her head, and looked at Gothe seriously with her big eyes.
Gao De looked at the little girl's palm-sized face that was a little dusty but still looked pink and polished, and said expressionlessly: "Tell me, what's going on?"
The little girl immediately lowered her head in grievance, as if she had endless grievances, and big tears were about to roll down again.
"Stop acting, I know you are very happy now." Gao De was helpless.
Although he softened his heart towards the little girl's pitiful gesture, it has been more than two years since he came to this world. Perhaps his good foundation is still there, but Gaode is no longer the "clear and stupid" college student.
In a world with extraordinary powers, who can guarantee that little girls are really just ordinary, harmless children?
Hence, he cast [Perception Emotion+] on the little girl immediately.
In the emotions that Gaode received, there was a bit of nervousness, a bit of expectation, and a bit of worry, but there was no malice.
In this case, he chose to help.
After the staff left, Gothe noticed that the little girl's mood had turned into happiness, pride, cunning and expectation.
There is absolutely no "poorness" shown at the moment.
No wonder women are born actors.
For a girl at such a young age, her acting skills are already natural. If it weren't for [Perception of Emotions+], he would definitely be fooled.
"Okay." The little girl pouted helplessly and muttered, "You mages are just relying on your magic to act rogue."
【Grief】.
After receiving the grievance coming from the little girl's heart, Gothe nodded.
Hmm, very good, the grievances felt now are real.
h "I want to go to Lagos to find my sister, but I have no money, so I can only"
h "Looking for my sister? Where are the other people in your family?"
"My sister is the only one left in my family. She entrusted me to stay with an old friend of my father's and went to Lagos to make a living, but I just want to be with my sister."
"Do you know where your sister makes a living in Lagos?"
Gaode had no choice but to hold his forehead.
This little girl is somewhat precocious, but she is still a child at heart.
"What's your name?" Gothe pursed his lips and asked again.
"My name is Anna, I am five years old this year." The little girl raised her head, stretched out her right hand, spread her five small and delicate fingers, and looked directly at Gothe.
"Anna, how did you get on the airship? There is a machine inspection at the boarding gate." Gothe asked again.
“Fuck this.” Anna took out something like a card from her pocket.
Gothe took it and took a look, only to find that there were several simple basic runes drawn on it.
"What is this?" He frowned subconsciously.
"A small gadget, plug it into the slot of that big machine, and it will be disabled for a short time." Perhaps because Gothe's help just now has won Anna's trust, she frankly confessed her "fare evasion" method.
"This thing." Gothe looked at the small card for a while and determined that there were only a few simple small runes drawn on it. He was slightly surprised, "Who gave it to you?"
"I drew it myself."
"Did you draw it yourself?" Gothe was surprised.
"That's right!" The little girl named Anna opened her eyes wide and was confused by Gothe's surprise. She tilted her head and asked, "Is this difficult?"
It's not difficult to draw a line, but it's rare to know where to draw it. A very famous Yilin story from his previous life suddenly appeared in Gothe's mind.
"Uncle, thank you." Anna said again.
【Cunning】.
"Call me brother." Gothe flicked Anna's forehead.
Obviously, Anna did it on purpose.
"You don't know where your sister makes a living in Lagos, how can you find her?"
"Yes. How do you find your sister?" Anna raised her head and blinked, "Brother, you will help me, right?"
【Cunning】.
"How can I help you?"
"Brother, you are a Sea Sentinel mage, you must have something to do." Anna tugged on Gothe's Sea Sentinel uniform and whispered.
Gaode looked at her expressionlessly.
Although there are not many passengers in the ordinary cabin, he is not the only one.
But Anna chose him, which was obviously not a coincidence.
Gothe had reasonable suspicion that Anna found him after discovering the sea sentry uniform he was wearing.
This little girl is still young, but she is very smart.
