Above the mage!

Chapter 342 The Little Girl on the Airship

After receiving the dumpling, Gao De 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 via the astral realm, bring over a batch of new supernatural materials, and take direct action in Lagos City.

He classified the tree species into small cloth bags, and then packed them into a big package and carried them on his back.

Most of the collected tree species are ordinary tree species, and a very small part are low-level magic tree species.

The emphasis is on diversity of types.

Therefore, it did not cost Gaode too much money, and the total amount was only about 10 gold.

Gaode's plan was very clear. He would first use different types of trees to catalyze the growth of Yugathshila as quickly as possible, and then consider the stacking quantity and quality.

Then, bring [North Wind] with you.

If [Frozen Blade+] is his trump card, then [North Wind] is his underwear. It is something that can truly save his life at the critical moment, and there is no reason not to bring it.

Everything was ready, and Gaode officially set off.

Thanks to the well-developed transportation network built by the Plantagenet dynasty, there are many modes of transportation to choose from when traveling from Doane to Lagos.

It can be done by land, water and air.

For water, you take a boat; for land, you take a special long-distance horse-drawn carriage; for air, of course, you take an airship.

The fastest way is of course the airship, but it is also the most expensive.

But for Gaode, there is only one choice.

airship!

But it’s not because he is so enthusiastic about the task, nor because he is rich, but because he can get reimbursed.

Since the money can be reimbursed, wouldn't you be a fool if you didn't take the airship and instead endure the pain of taking a boat or a long-distance carriage?
The air route distance from Doan to Lagos is 361 kilometers.

I bought an airship ticket from Dorne to Lagos, which cost 2 gold, 1 silver and 60 copper and stone coins.

Of course, this is the price for economy class.

The deluxe cabin sea sentry's allowance is not reimbursed, unless the rank reaches lieutenant or above, in order to enjoy this high-level treatment.

When boarding the airship, the airship staff responsible for "security check" stopped Gao De as expected.

"According to regulations, other creatures are generally not allowed on board the airship." The staff pointed to the capybara bag carried behind Gao De.

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 it, and then asked Gao De to open the capybara bag. After confirming that it contained a capybara, they returned the registration certificate to Gao De.

Then, he bowed to Gao De and said, "Master Mage, I wish you success in your mission."

As a sea sentinel wizard, he brought a capybara with him on a long journey, which meant he was definitely not going on vacation, but to carry out a mission.

Gao De smiled and said thank you, then put the capybara bag back on his back, carefully put away the airship ticket which would be used as a reimbursement voucher, and then walked along the passage and boarded the airship.

Somehow, the occupancy rate of this airship was exceptionally low.

As soon as Godd stepped into the common cabin, he glanced around 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 when he took the airship from Holder Town to Dorne City.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems reasonable.

As the spiritual marrow resources were depleted, the city of Lagos gradually returned to its original state.

Because of the spiritual marrow fever during that period, people were so obsessed with the wealth and opportunities brought by spiritual marrow that a large amount of labor and wealth poured into spiritual marrow-related industries.

The two traditional industries of Lagos, agriculture and fisheries, have been pushed to the margins, with farmlands left uncultivated and fishing boats abandoned on the shore.

But in fact, these two industries are the pillars supporting the economy of Lagos.

Therefore, with the end of the spiritual marrow fever, the prosperity of Lagos city quickly dissipated like a bubble.

But unlike before, the once prosperous agriculture and fisheries 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, and is the "countryside" area of Bairo County.

Thinking of this, Gao De had already taken the package and sat down in his slightly cramped seat. He closed his eyes and entered a state of concentration.

He began to continue trying to construct the spell model of [Disguise].

This is a spell that is foreseeable to be used soon, so Gao De does not want to waste any time and only wants to master it as soon as possible so that it will be convenient for him to act next.

The airship that Goder took was a special passenger ship. Its starting point was the city of Dorne and its final destination was the city of Lagos. Along the way, it would also land at airship bases in several small towns to pick up and drop off passengers.

The airship itself is relatively stable, but it is still somewhat bumpy during each takeoff and landing.

However, this will not have much impact on Gaode.

The blessing of the [Body of Dharma Ninja] allows him to ignore most external interference as long as he wants.

Until Gode noticed that there seemed to be some strange creature "crawl" near him.

He opened his eyes in startle, looked down at his feet, and then he opened his mouth unconsciously.

Because Gaode saw a little girl in linen clothes crawling at his feet in a strange posture.

The little girl looked only five or six years old. She had very big and bright eyes, but her face was a little gray.

At this moment, she was staring at Gode with her big eyes. Her clear blue eyes revealed an emotion called nervousness and begging, just like a poor stray cat.

"Help."

She opened and closed her mouth but no sound came out, but she shouted at Gao Dexu.

Little boy, when you ask for help from others, you should say "please" because that's polite. Gao De raised his head and found that there were airship staff members looking around in the aisle, as if they were looking for something.

There's no need to think so. Considering the behavior of the little girl who hid under her feet, it was obvious that he was looking for her.

There is no doubt that directly handing over the little girl is the wisest choice, because Gao De has no idea who the little girl is and why she is avoiding the staff.

If you try to be a good person without thinking, you will most likely be involved in unnecessary trouble.

Gaode is also preparing to do so.

However, when he was about to speak to greet the staff, the little girl seemed to have noticed something and tugged at his trouser leg.

Those innocent eyes were now filled with tears, and looked extremely fragile.

As Gao De watched this scene, his heart softened for no reason.

If it were anyone else, he wouldn't be so soft-hearted, but this was a child.

It is difficult for a man of high moral character, who has received modern education, to be "cruel" to children.

"Help me." The little girl lowered her head slightly, two tears already falling from under her long and curled eyelashes. She looked extremely pitiful, and pleaded in a childish and barely audible voice.

Gao De clenched his fists, then loosened them helplessly.

He spread his legs wide open while placing the package over his legs.

The little girl was very smart. She immediately understood what Gaode meant and quickly got between his legs.

Then, Gaode closed his legs and the package just covered the little girl.

At this time, the staff member also came to Gao De's seat. "Sir, I'm sorry to bother you, have you seen a little girl, about this tall, wearing..." the staff member gestured and described to Gao De.

He could clearly feel that his trouser legs were being grabbed when the staff was describing the little girl's appearance, and it was obvious that the little girl was very nervous.

"No," Gao De 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. When he saw Gao De shaking his head, he squatted down, as if preparing to conduct further inspection.

However, Godard had already opened his cloak slightly and unnoticeably at the right time.

Because the sea sentinel uniform was too conspicuous, in order to keep a low profile and avoid attracting attention, Goder put on a common knee-length thick woolen cloak with a hood to cover the uniform.

With this action, the sea sentinel uniform underneath was immediately revealed.

The staff member who was a little "indifferent" a second ago changed his expression slightly, and immediately became enthusiastic, "Master Mage, someone evaded the ticket."

"A little girl?" Gao De frowned. "A little girl?"

"Yes," the staff member was also very helpless, "I don't know if the machine was broken or what, but she passed the machine inspection at the boarding gate and sneaked into the airship. Children of this age only need to pay half price to ride the airship, so it's not a matter of money. The main reason is that she didn't follow an adult, and we were afraid something might happen."

"I see." Gao De nodded, and then said, "If I find anything, I will tell you as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Master Mage." The staff member said politely, putting his hand on his chest.

The original inspection process was not continued.

In the territory of Byro County, the Sea Sentinel Mages naturally carry a certain degree of credibility and face.

He watched the staff check the economy class all the way. After leaving the economy class, Gao De put the package on a seat beside him and spread his legs.

The little girl took advantage of the situation and squatted down, supporting herself on Gao De's legs with her hands. She raised her head and looked at Gao De seriously with her big eyes.

Gao De looked at the little girl's palm-sized face, which was a little gray but still looked delicate and delicate, and said expressionlessly, "Tell me, what happened?"

The little girl immediately lowered her head in grievance, as if she was feeling endlessly aggrieved, and tears as big as beans were about to roll down again.

"Stop pretending. I know you are very happy now." Gao De said helplessly.

Although he felt soft-hearted for the pitiful gesture of the little girl, he had been in this world for more than two years. Perhaps his kind nature was still there, but Gao De was no longer the "clear and stupid" college student.

In a world with extraordinary powers, who can guarantee that the little girl is really just an ordinary, harmless child?

Therefore, he immediately cast [Perception Emotions +] on the little girl.

Among the emotions that Gaode detected, there was a bit of nervousness, a bit of anticipation, and a bit of worry, but no malice.

Only in this situation did he choose to help.

After the staff left, Gaode noticed that the little girl's mood had changed to happiness, pride, cunning and anticipation.

There is absolutely no “pitiful” look as shown at the moment.

No wonder it is said that women are born actors.

For a girl this young, her acting skills are already natural. If it weren't for [Perceive Emotions+], he would have definitely been fooled.

"Okay." The little girl pouted helplessly and muttered, "You mages are just relying on magic to act like scoundrels."

【Wronged】.

Hearing the aggrieved feeling coming from the little girl's heart, Gao De nodded.

Well, very good, this time the grievance is real.

“I want to go to Lagos to find my sister, but I have no money, so I can only…

"Looking for your sister? Where are the rest of your family?"

“My elder sister is the only one left in my family. She entrusted me to the home of an old friend of my father’s and went to Lagos to make a living. But I just wanted to be with my elder sister.”

“Do you know where your sister makes a living in Lagos city?”

"I don't know." The little girl blinked her big eyes.

Gao De held his forehead helplessly.

This little girl is somewhat precocious, but she is still a child at heart.

"What's your name?" Gao De pursed his lips and asked again.

"My name is Anna, and I'm five years old." The little girl raised her head, stretched out her right hand, spread out five small and delicate fingers, and looked directly at Gao De.

"Anna, how did you get on the airship? There is a machine inspection at the boarding gate." Gao De asked again.

"Here." Anna took out something like a card from her pocket.

Gao De took it and looked at it, 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 the big machine, it can make it temporarily ineffective for a while." Perhaps because Gaode's help just now had won Anna's trust, she bluntly confessed her method of "skipping the ticket".

"This thing." Gao De looked at the small card for a while and confirmed that there were only a few simple runes drawn on it. He was slightly surprised and asked, "Who gave it to you?"

"I drew it myself."

"You drew it yourself?" Gao De was surprised.

"Yes!" The little girl named Anna opened her eyes wide, puzzled by Goder's surprise, and asked with her head tilted: "Is this difficult?"

It is not difficult to draw a line, but it is difficult to know where to draw the line. A very famous story about Yilin in his previous life suddenly popped up in Gao De's mind.

"Uncle, thank you." Anna said again.

【sly】.

"Call me brother." Goder tapped Anna's forehead.

It was obvious that Anna did this on purpose.

“How can you find your sister when you don’t even know where she makes a living in Lagos?”

"Oh, right. How do I find my sister?" Anna raised her head and blinked. "Brother, you will help me, right?"

【sly】.

"how can I help you?"

"Brother, you are a Sea Sentinel Mage, there must be a way." Anna tugged at Godard's Sea Sentinel uniform and whispered.

Godard looked at her expressionlessly.

Although there were not many passengers in the economy class, he was not the only one.

But Anna chose him, which was obviously not a coincidence.
