Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Lin Gui was already used to casting spells without chanting.

At this moment, he was completely focused, controlling every wing of the airship.

Steering, deflection, fine-tuning.

During this week, whenever he had free time, he would familiarize himself with these operation buttons.

The operating logic of the airship is actually very simple.

Similar to how he had to master the accelerator, brake, and steering wheel when driving in his previous life,

However, both "braking" and "steering" are achieved by those twelve pairs of wings.

Multiple sets of commands correspond to adjustments in up, down, left, right, and more dimensions.

The complex flight control system has been greatly simplified.

Even Lin Gui secretly admired the wisdom behind this forging.

After familiarizing himself with the procedures, Lin Gui prepared for his first real test flight.

Shea tilted her head, trying to climb up, but he shook his head and refused.

"This time I want to test the limits of the wind pressure cannon."

"One of us needs to figure it out first."

He needs to be fully prepared for whatever might happen.

Lin Gui placed his hands on the steering wheel, subtly enhancing the flying boat with a levitation spell.

The flying boat slowly drifted out of the workshop and hovered in mid-air in the passageway.

He first moved the ship forward steadily and slowly.

Like taking a stroll, gliding along the wide main road.

He did not start the air pressure cannon directly.

Instead, the airship was allowed to drift forward at a steady speed.

Wandering through the wide passageways of Shield City.

The torches on the two rock walls flowed backward.

The speed gradually increased.

He began to tackle more complex terrain.

We passed under the overpass and glided along the edge of the smelting furnace.

It can maneuver flexibly between intersecting sky bridges and elevators.

He remembered the response of every single wing.

As the levitation spell's effect gradually strengthened, the flying boat became faster and faster.

It flew over the city-state like a gray bird.

Passing through the archway, around the chimney, and gliding over the heads of the busy dwarves.

This conspicuous action naturally attracted countless eyes.

The dwarfs on the ground looked up, and the residents in the windows of the mountain wall leaned out.

Even pedestrians on the overpass stopped and pointed at the nimble flying boat, discussing it animatedly.

Lin Gui, however, was completely unaware.

He only saw the obstacles that kept appearing ahead.

The control device in his hand was now as easy to use as an extension of his own arm.

When the output of the Levitation spell is nearing its limit.

When the obstacles in front of him no longer put pressure on him.

He knew the time had come.

Lin Gui took a deep breath.

Press your palm firmly onto the central energy ball.

Magic surged forth.

hum! ! !

A red triangle warning light suddenly illuminated on the dial.

[Pneumatic Pressure Cannon - Start-up Preparation]

next second.

Suddenly, a pale blue torrent of water shot out from the cannons at the stern!

The airship felt as if it had been kicked hard from behind by a giant beast.

Suddenly, it surged forward!

At first, the speed was still under control, and Lin Gui was able to adjust the winglets to avoid the rock pillars in front of him.

But three seconds later—

The speed is starting to go berserk!

The scenery in front of me zooms in, blurs, and recedes rapidly!

The rock wall on the left suddenly rushed towards us!

Lin Gui's pupils contracted sharply, and he stomped his right foot.

The right-side wing instantly deployed, and the hull shifted abruptly to the side by half a foot.

It skimmed along the rock face, sparks flying everywhere!

The wind howled in my ears like the wailing of ghosts.

Several times, they managed to swerve away from the very edge of the collision.

Each time, it's a matter of anticipating and controlling the situation half an instant in advance.

The airship transformed into a winding gray line in the passageway.

Wherever he went, the dwarves watching screamed in surprise.

"You dodged it!"

"Here we go again! On the left!"

"Is he going to crash into me—whoa!!"

Inside the forging room, Shia's face was deathly pale, her fingers gripping the windowsill tightly.

Grom tried to rush out and call for a stop several times, but Bahrain held him down firmly.

The fortress lord's eyes gleamed as he muttered to himself:

"That control...that reaction...that speed."

"Perhaps... he really can help my plans..."

"Tear open a gash."

The speed of the airship is still increasing.

In Lin Gui's field of vision.

The corner of the passageway in the distance was originally just a blurry little dot.

They were right in front of us in the next second!

The wind howled like thunder in my ears, but I could vaguely hear a few excited shouts mixed in.

"Let me borrow it to play with—!"

"That's insane—!"

Lin Gui had no time to be distracted.

The most difficult hurdle lies ahead.

A sharp bend, followed by the narrow entrance to a three-way intersection.

The speed is so high that it is almost impossible to turn and slow down at the same time.

They're going to crash!

Lin Gui's eyes flashed with a sharp look.

Pull the steering wheel sharply with your left hand and slam the brake pedal down with your right foot!

All twelve pairs of winglets instantly unfolded, spreading out at their maximum angle!

laugh--! ! !

Terrifying resistance tore at the hull from all sides.

Lin Gui even simultaneously applied the levitation technique to his own back.

Forcibly resisting the recoil that could throw a person flying.

The whistling wind almost tore my eardrums apart.

The ship hull trembled violently as it was torn apart by inertia and resistance.

The rock face in front of me rapidly magnified in my field of vision.

stop!

The airship suddenly hovered in mid-air.

The bow of the boat was less than a hand's width from the rock face.

Lin Gui let out a long sigh of relief, only then realizing that his back was soaked with cold sweat.

He raised his hand and gently stroked the slightly warm crystal windshield in front of him, a smile unconsciously spreading across his lips.

An overwhelming, almost exhilarating sense of comfort surged through my entire body.

He, who has always been cautious, has rarely been so indulgent and adventurous.

But this extreme control and mastery made him almost want to let out a long howl.

However, before he could even utter a sound...

On the surrounding rock walls, in the passageways, and between the sky bridges,

All the dwarves who witnessed this scene simultaneously erupted in a deafening roar:

"Ooh-hoh—!!!"

"pretty--!!!"

"One more time—!!!"

The roars echoed like a tide throughout the entire mountain city.

Lin Gui's unintentional outburst.

An unprecedented aerial spectacle was put on for the dwarves of Shield City.

His desire to roar was quelled by the commotion of the dwarves around him.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the airship suddenly sank!

A dwarf jumped directly off the overhead bridge railing.

It landed precisely in the empty space at the stern of the boat.

After he struggled to sit down, he grabbed Lin Gui's shoulder and shouted excitedly:

"Hey! Human lad! I recognize you!"

"Is Copper Hammer that gambler's human friend?"

"Quick! Let me experience what it's like to soar through the sky!"

Before he finished speaking, another dwarf jumped down.

Squeezing into the last little bit of space.

A chorus of curses immediately erupted from above:

"You two bastards!"

"It's faster to grab a spot than to peek at a dwarf girl bathing!"

Two burly dwarfs suddenly squeezed into the airship.

The space suddenly narrowed to the point where they were almost touching.

The two people behind him kept urging him on:

"Let's go!"

"Fly fast!"

Lin Gui smiled helplessly, then grabbed the steering wheel and curled the corners of his mouth.

"Then you guys... you'd better hurry."

One minute later.

The airship took off again.

This time the speed was much slower, but it was still agile.

The two dwarfs at the stern were flushed with excitement.

They waved frantically to their companions on the cliff face.

"See that?! We're flying!"

"Envious, aren't you? Hahaha!"

This boasting only fueled the ambitions of more dwarves.

Some people ran and chased along the boardwalk.

Someone was leaning on the railing, yelling and shouting.

The airship glided across the main street.

Below is the newly opened post office.

Eve stood at the doorway, looking up at the dwarves who had come to deliver the message.

Her light golden short hair fluttered gently in the air.

A gentle smile curved her lips.

Especially when the flying boat swept by, she squinted and saw Lin Gui's profile clearly.

That rare, relaxed smile.

A genuine sense of joy welled up in her eyes.
