Early in the morning, everyone was spared from the fate of being frozen to death thanks to the snow wolves' kind offering of fur, but that didn't mean that the night passed peacefully.
First of all, the Dark Elf wanted to make up for her mistake. While everyone seemed to be asleep, she snuck up to the man several times, wanting to warm him up in the snowy night. Unfortunately, Lin Li's warning before going to bed wasn't just for show.
The Flash Barrier during sleep still functioned normally, but it was different from before. In the past, he used the Dimensional Banishment Spell. No matter if it was a mosquito or a killer, he would just throw it in an unknown direction, and the world would be peaceful again.
However, ever since he found out that the Dimensional Banishment Spell might cause trouble for those big shots, in order to prevent those people from having their houses littered with trash from coming to find him, Lin Li modified the design of the Blink Spell and banned the Dimensional Banishment Spell. Simply put, he could specify a destination and no longer teleport at random.
He would judge the speed and size of the object that broke into his alert range. Small objects that were fast, such as bows and flying daggers, would be sent back in the same direction from where they came. If they were large and not so fast that they couldn't be guarded against, they would be randomly teleported between 10 to 100 meters in the air. Of course, it couldn't be directly above him. Anyway, he just had to make the other party leave him.
However, such a modification also increased the activation time of the defensive Blink spell from 3 microseconds to 7 microseconds, which was more than double the time of the Dimensional Banishment spell …
Just looking at the increase, it seemed that the time spent had increased by a lot. But in fact, whether it was the Dimensional Banishment Spell or the modified defensive Flash Barrier, they were much faster than a person's reaction speed. Simply put, even a well-trained Warrior would still not be able to react before being teleported by the Flash Barrier.
And Merlin enjoyed falling from a high altitude a few times. Fortunately, the height wasn't too high, only between three and 30 stories high. She, who had a rough understanding of magic, used the Feather Fall Spell and the snow on the ground. Even if she landed in a sorry state, she wouldn't be hurt.
After a few tries, she completely understood why no assassins were willing to take on the job of assassinating this mage. Because it was impossible to succeed.
There was probably some chance of poisoning, cursing, or targeting the people around him. But as long as he didn't die immediately, no one could escape from this mage's pursuit. None of the people who bought their lives for money were death warriors. No one would touch a job that offered money but no life to spend it.
In particular, this magician's reputation was notorious in the Inner World. Although no one had counted, there were at least a hundred people who had said that they wanted to assassinate the mage, but their whereabouts were unknown. This didn't include the assassins who planned to make a fortune in silence.
The Goblin father and daughter, who were pretending to be asleep, wanted to try their luck while their target was asleep. He leaned on the dagger he had bought from a stolen goods dealer, which was said to have anti-magic properties. However, after witnessing the failures of the dark elves, Totokani completely dispelled any thoughts of resistance.
Regardless of whether the rumors were good or bad, he no longer had the determination to fight against this magician. Not to mention his strength, this magician's skills were too strange. At the very least, as one of the most intelligent goblins, he could not think of any way to break it.
Moreover, the other party would not be so foolish as to allow others to experiment on how to break through his defenses and successfully kill him. If he didn't succeed the first time, there wouldn't be a second chance.
The night in the cabin of the flying ship wasn't peaceful, nor was it peaceful outside.
Early in the morning, the two girls who were preparing for their routine work quickly discovered traces of intruders outside, and at the same time, lost most of the snow wolf meat. Although it was already spring, the wind and snow on the mountain were still blowing, and the temperature was naturally very low. In such an environment, the preservation of meat did not require any special treatment. It was fine to just throw it outside.
However, this meat was ultimately meat. Perhaps there was no threat of it rotting in such an environment, but there was the possibility of it being eaten by other scavenging animals. Although the two girls had set up a concealment and protection barrier before going to bed last night, when the barrier was discovered this morning, it had already been destroyed, and the inside was a mess.
Because of a certain someone's bad habit, coupled with the convenience of the Arcane Eye, the happenings of the night were quickly displayed in the form of images in front of everyone.
Under the moonlight, the huge black figure broke through the magic array set up by the two apprentices as easily as a wet finger rubbing through a layer of paper. The other party didn't chant incantations like humans, nor did it display its innate skills like ordinary magical beasts. It just raised its head and walked in, and the barrier was silently shattered.
Seeing such a scene, the two girls shrank back in fright and looked at their elder sister like quails, fearing that this one would capture them for special training. However, Finn wasn't that cruel, because it was normal for the two wild girls to not be a match for the opponent shown in the image. Even if she personally took action, she would have to be a little more serious to be able to take down the other party.
Because that huge figure was – a black dragon. It was a natural anti-magic creature with heaven-defying magic resistance. When Mages saw it, they would want to take a detour. Among the various dragons and metal dragons, its dragon language magic ability was relatively weak, but that was only relatively speaking. Compared to ordinary Mages and magic apprentices, black dragons were invincible.
However … this black dragon looked particularly miserable. Broken wings, lame legs, blind in one eye, and even a few claws were missing. Moreover, for a dragon's body, it was unreasonably thin and weak, looking malnourished.
With the black dragon's appearance, even without Finn personally taking care of it, the two girls could use all kinds of luxurious equipment developed by their teacher to successfully subdue it. However, after experiencing many lessons, the two finally learned their lesson and didn't actively ask for battle.
However, the black dragon's behavior still caused them trouble. After all, their precious food was eaten. Therefore, the two girls were waiting for their teacher's attitude, whether to kill or release it.
Looking at the black dragon in the image, Finn asked: "So, how should we deal with this big guy?"
While he was thinking, he suddenly thought of a question. Were dragons scavenging animals? If not, then why did it choose to eat wolf meat that had already been drained of blood, instead of breaking into the cabin of a crashed airship and choosing to eat the sleeping people? Would a black dragon have any misgivings?
Then he thought of the various wounds on the other party's body. Those weren't new wounds, but old wounds. Moreover, they were old wounds that left permanent damage. Looking at this black dragon, Lin felt that it was like a lame old dog that he encountered before transmigrating, rummaging through the garbage on the street for food.
Lin sighed and said: "Forget it, if it's eaten, then it's eaten. I don't have time to deal with this dragon." Turning off the external surveillance at night, Lin used the Head Coffin to display the results of a few days of hard work in the Dream Realm. "… This is what we're going to do next. Using the original airship's materials as well as the existing materials, we're going to repair this airship. "
What was displayed in front of everyone in a 3D image wasn't the conventional airship's appearance seen in the Dream Realm. The original shape of the pod was similar to two ships connected in parallel, with the passage in the middle expanded into a cabin. Lin buckled the two ends of the hull together and merged them into a shuttle-shaped structure.
After the original airbag exploded and burned, the remaining parts weren't enough to create a huge airbag that could be filled with enough gas to float in the air. Therefore, these fabrics were modified into parts similar to airplane wings and vertical rudders. However, they weren't responsible for providing the buoyancy needed for flight, but were used to control the direction. Therefore, the parts on both sides were more like flaps.
The shape imitated dragon wings, or bat wings. The calculated curvature of the main support could maximize the use of the remaining airbag fabrics and provide enough flight flexibility.
The propulsion mechanism was originally a turbojet engine that was intended to be used in fighter aircraft. Unfortunately, he didn't major in undergraduate studies, so he didn't understand it. However, he learned the principle of the internal combustion engine in high school. After that, he modified motorcycles and car engines, so he was familiar with this part.
In particular, the goblin's primitive propulsion mechanism already had the prototype of the internal combustion engine. Although according to a certain person's design, there were many parts that had to be modified, and it could even be said that they had to be rebuilt. However, since the design of the propulsion mechanism and the propeller already existed in the Dream Realm, it meant that such a design would be easier to accept and understand. Only some concepts needed to be modified.
The propulsion mechanism that was redesigned as an engine used a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine with a star-shaped engine layout. Each engine had fifteen cylinders. Therefore, the original design of the airship was simplified from seven to eight propulsion mechanisms to two symmetrical rear-facing engines with the blades facing backward.
The blades of the propeller planes weren't used in the forward layout because most of the propulsion mechanisms in the Dream Realm were designed in a similar way.
Forcibly moving the engines to the front or adding wings and placing the engines on both sides would require too many changes. The current materials and time were not enough to make such a drastic change. Unless they really wanted to revert everything back to the original materials and start from scratch.
As for the device that provided the buoyancy, it was designed with reference to the gravity change of a third-circle apprentice spell. It was an anti-gravity device.
Suddenly seeing such a device among a bunch of outdated and crude airship designs, a certain person was quite surprised when he did research on airships in the past. However, this was a world with magic after all.
Although the anti-gravity device was a standard device for airships in the Dream Realm, there were different grades.
The highest grade was, of course, the buoyancy provided by the anti-gravity device. The airship could stay on the ground for an entire year. Some of the most luxurious airships made by the major countries didn't have such a standard. They didn't even dare to call themselves luxurious.
Other airships had to rely on the help of vertical propellers or airbags to provide extra buoyancy. Basically, large airbags were used, so the buoyancy provided by the anti-gravity device would be relatively small. This was one of the reasons why the Hindenburg crashed. Although the airship was equipped with anti-gravity devices, they were made by goblins. There was no difference between having them and not having them. That was why the airship crashed.
