The appearance of the hot air balloon was not a secret from the beginning. So many textile craftsmen were busy working together in Shahar Square. Everyone saw it clearly, and Tang En did not intend to keep it a secret.
After instructing the dark elves and Ellington's warriors to assemble the hot air balloon, Tang En decided to test the reliability of the hot air balloon first.
Tang En personally started the modified gnome steam engine. The scorching flames poured hot air into the semi-sealed hot air balloon, and the airbag gradually inflated.
"What is he doing?"
Hayley asked Lola curiously. The queen definitely knew what he was going to do.
"He's going to fly."
"He's going to fly with this big guy? Flight? This big guy isn't light. "
"No, it's this big guy called the hot air balloon that's going to fly with him and the pile of stones."
Lola stared at the busy Tang En. A man who was focused on his work was always full of charm, not to mention the bonus of the perfect bloodline.
"He's going to fly with him? How is that possible! "
Hayley said with a smile, "Unless that thing has a Levitation or Flight spell."
After the airbag slowly inflated, Tang En was very satisfied to find that the dark elven textile craftsmen's weaving skills were very perfect. There was basically no leakage. Of course, it was normal for a sewn airbag to leak, but as long as the filling speed was fast enough, it was not a big problem.
"Everyone, make way."
When Tang En saw that the airbag was almost full, he jumped into the hanging basket. The hanging basket was filled with many stones used as weights, which were also substitutes for magic iron bombs.
The curious adventurers scattered. As the hot air gradually spewed out, the hot air balloon began to shake.
"Wait!? What did I see? That, that thing is floating!? "
An adventurer rubbed his eyes, as if he could not believe what he saw.
"Heavens! There are so many stones in it, and it's actually flying!? Does this thing really not use Flight?! "
The adventurers exclaimed again and again.
"It's flying without using magic. This kind of thing is too illogical!"
Tang En did not know whether to laugh or cry. Wasn't it logical for a hot air balloon to fly without using magic?
Mongol Kahn was stunned. "How is this possible! There must be some kind of magic array on it, right? Are those stones Floating Stones? "
Khal shook his head and said in shock, "How is that possible? If he has so many floating stones, why would he need to come here?"
The Levitating Stone was a special kind of ore collected from the Levitating Island. According to Prandal's records, there were also Levitating Stones deep underground, but since the underground world was separated from the surface world, no one had seen it again.
The reason why Floating Stones were so valuable was mainly because Mages with the ability to fly and high-ranked Seers were unwilling to become miners.
High-ranked Prophets, such as Extraordinary Warriors, already had the ability to float in the air for a short period of time. They could also reach Floating Islands, but once their strength reached their level, there would be a lot of people willing to fight for money to be sent to them. They didn't need to mine Floating Stones to make money.
With that kind of strength, who would be willing to mine? Only some mages who went to the floating islands to do experiments would bring some back.
In addition, the City of Silver had restrictions on mages, so the production of Floating Stones was very low. The small amount of Floating Stones circulating in the market was very expensive.
The Levitating Stone had a mysterious power. It could float in the air, just like a permanent levitation spell. Many nobles liked to use this special ore to decorate their mansions. Some would also inlay a small number of Levitating Stones on their carriages to lighten the load of the carriage and make it run faster.
What? You mean to make the whole carriage float?
Trust me, they must have thought of this before, but there are probably only a few people in the entire Prandal who can afford to be so extravagant.
Ursa suddenly said, "Look, it's really flying!"
Wasn't it? The huge hot air balloon swayed for a while and floated up with the basket. The rope that tied the hot air balloon gradually rose and then tightened, fixing it in place so that it wouldn't float randomly.
"It took almost five minutes from the beginning to the beginning of the inflation to the beginning of the flight.
Very efficient, "Tang En mumbled to himself and jumped. The basket only shook a little, but there was no violent tremor. The stability was quite good.
Looking at the tilt angle, Tang En put down some ropes and tried to adjust the direction of the hot air balloon with the turbo fan. It didn't take him long to master the technique.
To put it bluntly, it worked the same way as a model airplane. The airflow from the turbo fan pushed the hot air balloon forward in the opposite direction. Of course, because the balloon was attached to the rope, the thrust couldn't be too high, or the basket would fall over. But this convenient adjustment method was at least easy to master.
Under everyone's gaze, Tang En tested the hot air balloon's performance in all aspects and slowed down the speed of the jet. After a while, the hot air balloon landed again.
Lola greeted him. "That's great! I really didn't feel the fluctuation of magic power! Is this the effect of 'physics' that you mentioned? "
"Well …"
Tang En said with a bitter smile, "You can think of it that way."
"If it can be used in the Magic Vacuum Zone, maybe we can really get rid of that big guy!"
Lola was obviously full of resentment towards that guy. Nothing had happened for so many years, but he suddenly jumped out and ruined the competition in the Demonic Abyss and killed three precious male Dark Elves!
"There will be no problem."
Tang En nodded confidently, then waved his hand and shouted, "Start warming up all the hot air balloons now!"
Everyone dispersed and began to get busy. Because there was no ban, those adventurers who had nothing to do with it also curiously gathered around to watch the fun.
Taking advantage of the time when most of the people were warming up the hot air balloon, Tang En selected 19 soldiers from Ellington. They were all familiar faces that he could trust. Bryant Locke, Danny, Ultraman, and the rest were among them.
"Wait! Big brother! Why did you call me!? "
Brian's face was pale. "You don't want me to sit on this thing and fly into the sky, do you?"
"Can't I? This is underground! "
"No! I won't go even if I die! "
Brian hugged a pillar next to him and would rather die than submit. "The feet of the mountain dwarves never leave the ground!"
"What a disgrace to the dwarves! Let me do it! "
Barod looked at Brian with disdain and volunteered himself.
Brian sneered. Let this guy who had never left the ground know the fear of being dominated by the sky!
Lola suddenly stopped Barod, then said to Tang En with a smile, "Let me do it, how about it?"
Barod scratched his head. He also wanted to try this new thing.
Tang En imagined the two of them squeezing in the basket, then decisively chose Lola.
Lola was very satisfied that her charm had worked. She proudly made a provocative look at Barod, then blew Tang En a kiss.
Tang En ignored the kiss and began to give them a simple training.
He didn't ask them to be very skilled, at least they knew how to take off and land and control the direction. They just needed to fly above the Titan Stone Giant, then activate the prepared Magic Iron Bombs and throw them out.
Although they didn't understand the principle of flying, Tang En made them memorize the operation methods.
Each hot air balloon was arranged in groups of two, one person controlling and the other throwing the bombs. It was simple and efficient. Including Tang En, there were twenty people in total.
When they were almost familiar with the operation, the other nine hot air balloons had also finished warming up. Tang En ordered them to go up in groups to familiarize themselves with the operation.
"Don't we need to do it?"
Tang En ignored Lola's enthusiastic eyes. "No, I'll control the hot air balloon. When the time comes, you just have to throw the bombs."
Lola was very disappointed. She wanted to personally experience the feeling of driving a hot air balloon.
After about an hour, everyone had familiarized themselves with the operation. Tang En had them move all the stones out of the hanging basket, and then replaced them with magic iron bombs. A hot air balloon was equipped with 30 bombs, and the weight was quite heavy.
Everything was ready. When they were about to set off, Lola suddenly thought of a very serious problem. "Wait! I suddenly remembered. How are you going to bring such huge hot air balloons over? "
On the way to the Demonic Abyss, they had to pass through several caves. Some of the caves' tunnels were quite narrow, and it was impossible for the hot air balloon to pass through.
When Lola said this, the others also came back to their senses. They looked at each other and finally all looked at Tang En.
He couldn't have not considered this problem, right?
Tang En looked at Lola very strangely. "As a spellcaster, you actually asked this question?"
Lola raised her eyebrows and was about to refute Tang En when Tang En stretched out his hand and a few strands 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 became only the size of a fist, floating in the air like a child's toy!
Tang En shook his finger and said helplessly, "Isn't the Transfiguration spell prepared for this kind of situation?"
"Is … Is that so?"
Lola was dumbfounded.
Tang En held five hot air balloons in his hand like a child who loved to play. "Now, let's go."
The group of people agreed loudly and set off for the Demonic Abyss behind Tang En. Even the adventurers who did not know at first were interested in joining in the fun and followed. For a time, half of the huge city of Shalhela was empty.
Laura stared at Tang En's back with a strange expression. Even now, she was still so shocked that she had not recovered from her shock.
Transfiguration had such a strong effect?
Lola did not know what kind of transfiguration spell Tang En had mastered, but she knew that, as an agent of God, the transfiguration spell she had mastered was definitely not to this extent!
