As long as no one was willing to help the Goblins fight against the 'evil creatures,' Malcolm would not be in any danger. As an emissary of the World Tree, not just any two Goblins could deal with him. Unless he was possessed by the Goblin Sword Saint.
However, the Dark Elf lady was sitting on the snowy ground in a daze. She did not react at all as the snowflakes piled up on her body.
Thinking about it, this was also very normal. After all, no one could still be alive and kicking after experiencing a plane crash.
It was like a person who had never ridden a roller coaster before. After riding a difficult roller coaster for the first time, there would not be many who could still walk normally. This was even a ride with safety features.
The Airship crash that they had just experienced was the kind where half of them would have died if they had taken one wrong step. It was no wonder that this Dark Elf, who had probably lived underground for most of her life, was so shocked that she could not speak, even though the Goblins were yelling at her to kill.
Perhaps Uzov had experienced many life and death situations. Even though he did not encounter plane crashes often, he was able to adjust his mental state quickly. He quickly recovered and helped to check on the injuries of the others.
The Dwarves had been instigated by the Goblins to attack the Dark Elves. In fact, they were still in a daze. There were also scrapes and bruises all over their bodies. It was only when Uzov was about to help them that the four of them remembered to make a fuss.
Halloumi and Kaya were back to normal almost as soon as they were awakened by their sisters-in-law. Although the two girls were not as knowledgeable as veteran adventurers like Uzov, they had the advantage of following a former Demon King. Their bravery had been honed to the point that it could be used to hammer nails into their hearts.
Seeing that the two girls did not need any psychological preparation, Lin directly asked them to go to the wreckage of the Airship to check if there were any usable supplies, as well as what was left of their belongings. The most important thing was to find some clothes to wear. The weather was too cold.
It was not just himself, the two apprentices, and the four silver-bearded Dwarves. Everyone was shivering and sneezing at the same time. Jermaine, the dwarf who loved to talk nonsense, even said that he would rather be roasted by the forge until he was covered in sweat than stay in this freezing environment for even a minute.
At this moment, Lin suddenly thought of something and lamented, "Ah, I haven't eaten dinner yet." Would they be traveling on an empty stomach like this? Someone thought to himself. But even though he thought about it, he didn't dare to say it out loud. He was afraid that he would set up a flag for himself.
However, among the group of people, only the Lich was not hurt at all. Under the protection of magic, he was able to adapt to the extreme weather. At this moment, he was still silent. He seemed to be regretting his actions. After all, it was the former Demon King who insisted on boarding this Airship. From the very beginning, a certain someone wanted to hide as far away as possible.
But a certain someone still came up behind her and said, "There's a saying in my hometown: there's a limit to human strength. It's not your fault, so don't think too much about it. "He still had to persuade her.
What Lin was most afraid of was not another plane crash. What she was most afraid of was that the former Demon King would start to go into a dead end and come up with some strange conclusions. For example, to stop the Goblins from building the Airship, so they wanted to conquer the world. After all, she had done it before. In order to slay the Gods, she wanted to conquer the world.
However, her kind concern was met with anger. In fact, anything she said at this time would sound like adding insult to injury in the ears of the person involved. Especially since a certain someone had a history of complaining. Who knew if he was being sarcastic?
She originally wanted to teach this blind guy a lesson, but when she turned around, she saw that the man with two lines of snot and pale lips was talking seriously. Fen didn't know whether to be angry or laugh at this.
Suddenly, under the moonlight, there was a wolf howl. The long howl added a bit of mournfulness to the originally silent snow, awakening the fear in the depths of people's hearts. The goblin father and daughter were even more trembling. They hid behind the crowd and said, "This is a snow wolf. We're done for, we're done for."
At the same time, a pack of wolves appeared not far away. Against the moonlight behind them, they were like demons in the snow, waiting for an opportunity to pounce on the prey in their eyes. But in the next moment, a figure holding a sword appeared in the pack of wolves. One sword for one wolf. The sharpness of Cassette Cutting had become an unsolvable problem for almost all creatures. The snow wolves, which were supposed to be predators, fell to the snow with a whimper, dying it red.
Inserting Cassette Cutting into the snow, Lin grabbed the wolf's tail or leg, dragging two or three wolves with each hand, and walked in the direction of the Airship's crash. `Give me a hand, Jermaine, 'he cried, as he walked, panting, `and drag them back to the skinning room. If you don't want to freeze to death on the mountain, you can count on them. "
Hearing Lin's call, a few dwarves who were almost frozen did not actively move. Everyone, including Uzov, worked together to drag back the wolves that Lin had slaughtered. Then, in a flurry, they let out the blood and skinned them.
In order to be used in time, the process of drying and drying was changed to using magic to dehydrate and dry the fur. Because it was not a magic spell specially used to deal with animal fur, Lin's use of it was somewhat clumsy, and even damaged the fur. In the eyes of Uzov, who was an experienced adventurer, it was a waste of good fur.
After a busy night, everyone finally had a piece of leather to wrap around their bodies.
This was thanks to Lin's attack. The snow wolves, who were not used to the enemy's sudden appearance and disappearance, scattered after their leader was killed. But how could four legs be faster than the pursuit of Lin's Blink spell? In order to avoid running out of food and warm fur, Lin caught up with and killed all the wolves that entered his sight. Only then was there enough fur for each person, and there were still a few left.
For the time being, the problem of keeping warm was solved. Another urgent problem was that they could not eat dinner. In the process of kneading the fur, the blood of the snow wolves that were dragged back had been drained. So, Lin randomly picked one and entered the cabin of the Airship, starting a fire to roast the meat. This was the simplest and fastest way to cook. Because it was late at night, everyone was hungry.
Although the cabin of the Airship was leaking air everywhere, it was much better than the situation outside, which did not even have a roof. So, everyone gathered around the fire in the cabin, biting into the meat of the snow wolves that had been roasted until it was dry and hot. At the same time, Halloumi and Kaya also reported the results of the inventory.
Basically, everything that could be burned was not spared in the fire, including ropes, books, scrolls, clean clothes, travel bedding, and some leather products, such as backpacks, straps, and so on. Even the wooden boxes used for storage and organization were all burned to ashes.
Only a few of them were stored in storage boxes made of magic materials, and that was why they were safe from Zhurong. Of course, this included the large pile of Kiel (gold coins).
As for the dry food that was originally stored, even if it was not burned to ashes, it was in a charred state. None of it was edible.
The materials belonging to the Airship were in a similar situation. But luck was not bad. Although the structure of the cabin was smashed, most of the materials were still preserved. The fuel used for the propulsion mechanism was also the same. Probably because it had been ignited too many times, even the goblins had taken note of the fire prevention design in this area.
All the mechanisms made of magic materials on the Airship were also broken, deformed, and in a state where they could not be used. However, as a material, it was well preserved and was not destroyed in the fire.
After the explosion and fire, the remaining airbags on the Airship were probably less than a third of their original size. The airbags that had been patched up everywhere were now in tatters. It did not require too much professional evaluation to know that there was no possibility of repair.
Understanding the current situation and facing this sudden accident, no one could sleep soundly no matter how late the night was. They were afraid that they would not wake up in this world of ice and snow. So, everyone forced themselves to stay awake and discuss their next move.
The goblin Totokani was the first to pat his chest and promise, saying, "Sir Mage, give me three days, and I promise to repair the Airship as good as new. Then, we can continue on our journey to the Holy City of Estali. " Seeing the Archmage's actions, Totokani knew how much he resented the name of the airship, so he didn't dare to mention the name 'Hindenburg' again.
But three days … Everyone looked at the mess around them. If the two Gnomes were given three years, they might not even be able to clean up the mess. No one believed that they could repair the Airship in three days.
Not wanting to wait on the mountain for a few years, Lin took the initiative to make a request. He said to the goblin father and daughter, "Fortunately, most of the Airship's structure and various mechanisms made of magic materials are still intact. It is not a big problem to repair it. So, I will help and fix some of the unreasonable design. Also, because there are not many airbags left, we may have to consider using other methods to obtain buoyancy. I will need the two of you to help me with this. I hope you will not be stingy with your help. "
"That is impossible!" Totokani jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on. He said agitatedly, "This is my Airship, it is my personal property. No one has the right to touch it, not even a finger. There is no need to talk about repairing or modifying it. I will never allow such a thing to happen! No matter what you say, it is impossible. The Hindenburg belongs to me, only me! "
The agitated goblin said that taboo name again. Lich, who had maintained a gloomy expression, was about to explode, but he was suppressed by an even stronger resentment. Under the illumination of the fire, someone's skin seemed to be dyed red, like a demon that had crawled out of the abyss. Lin asked with an evil smile and a look of disdain that he had never shown before.
"Then, Your Excellency Totokani, what do you think of the words' Totokani Afstein, born unknown, died in the year DCCXXXI (731) of the Aran calendar, here lies the owner of the Hindenburg airship 'on your epitaph? Although we may not be able to find a suitable coffin, I can guarantee that we will use a high-quality stone and the most beautiful words to make your tombstone for future generations to pay tribute to.
