When several people left the converted airship, the tavern owner waved his arms excitedly and said goodbye reluctantly.

"Brother, come often when you have time~"

However, Udyr and others were talking in a low voice at this time.

"Udyr, even though the promotion fee given by the Dragon Mark Family is very high, there is no need for you to work so hard, right? We don't know when the Spirit Card Processing Factory can be built here. If you do this..."

Although he had cooperated very well with Udyr just now, the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Now that they have returned to the ship, the dwarf will naturally criticize Udyr according to his own values.

"Hey! You don't understand this, right? This is a matter of time. The Dragon Mark Family is said to have cultivated a profession that can collect intelligence by playing cards. It seems to be called a Dark Duelist. So it is reasonable for them to make the Spirit Card popular here as soon as possible, so that they can collect secret and important intelligence without anyone noticing.

Just wait and see, in a few days, they will thank us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the tavern owner, who had walked out more than ten meters, suddenly turned around and shouted again: "Thank you!"

Just like that, a card game called Spirit Cards, which combines strategy, collection, and development, suddenly became popular on this large floating island.

Taverns, inns, even blacksmith shops and potion shops, as long as there are people, this thing will spread at an alarming speed.

For a while, the streets and alleys were filled with the atmosphere of duelists. Some people had just returned from hunting, with blood on their arms, but they still wanted to play a round with the potion shop owner to win a discount.

The ruler of the floating island originally wanted to stop it, but after looking at the tax revenue in recent days, he allowed the Spirit Cards to become popular.

Soon, a factory manufacturing spirit cards sprang up in a corner of the floating island.

More spirit cards were sold to farther places on large transport ships.

At the same time, the trained dark duelists also dispersed along the transport ships and trade routes to help the Dragonmark Family and other forces gather information about the Eternal Furnace.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, another half a month has passed.

The economic growth brought by the main plane began to spread from the major floating islands to the surrounding areas, and some people therefore came up with the idea of ​​transporting ships on the alleys.

…

About 20 kilometers below the vortex of the alien world, there is a large city rarely seen in the air elemental plane - Eclipse Port.

Because the alien vortex above leads to the elemental plane of earth, the soil, ore, and rocks that came here from the vortex became the foundation of Eclipse Port in the early years of the vortex's formation.

For thousands of years, although this super-large floating island occasionally collapses and separates, its total area has remained within a stable range and has even increased slightly.

This is the intersection of several safe waterways, and the place with the largest number of planar merchants and where they are most frequently visited.

The reason why it is called Eclipse Port is not only because the scenery when looking at the vortex of the other world from the city is similar to a solar eclipse, but also because the entire area around Eclipse Port has been transformed to be extremely suitable for airships to dock.

Recently, the arrival of adventurers from the main plane has made business activities here more prosperous, and the wind giants who rule this place have even begun to take the lead in playing something called Spirit Cards.

However, just when everything was going smoothly, a strange transport ship, with no one operating it, crashed into a floating island near Eclipse Harbor.

When the Eclipse Port guards arrived, they found that all the passengers on the ship had been killed and all the cargo had been looted.

"Bang! That's too much!"

In the Public Security Bureau of Eclipse Port, Feng Juling, the director, slammed the table angrily, and the color of the giant's skin seemed to become much darker because of his anger.

As the "royal family" of Eclipse Port, the public security around Eclipse Port has been good since he successfully ran for office. This is the first time in history that such a horrific and serious case has occurred.

"Chief, calm down. I will arrange for more patrols."

Beside him, the nearly four-meter-tall cloud giant deputy quickly comforted his boss.

Unlike their counterparts in the main plane, these giants who drifted to the elemental plane often retained more rational thinking and actively participated in various organizations.

If the royal family of Eclipse Harbor are the wind giants, then the cloud giants are undoubtedly the "in-laws" who hold various deputy positions and marriage partners.

"But Chief, we haven't found any clues to this case yet. Increase patrols..."

Upon hearing that their boss made a decision on the spur of the moment, subordinates who might have to run themselves into trouble immediately tried to reduce their workload.

But before he could finish, the Cloud Giant snorted and laughed, and said frivolously: "What's the big deal? If you see anyone unfamiliar, go check them out, especially those who call themselves adventurers. They may say they are adventurers, but who knows what they look like after leaving the port?"

What the cloud giant said seemed to make sense, but in fact it was just a one-size-fits-all stereotype about the group of adventurers.

The sheriff who had just spoken could already imagine the future conflicts between the adventurers and himself and his colleagues. He wanted to explain, but was glared at by the cloud giant.

He was defeated, and a series of regulations restricting adventurers were promulgated and posted.

Many adventurers who were not clean in themselves were arrested, and the plane merchants took this opportunity to buy up many airships at low prices and squeezed some good adventurers into bankruptcy.

Another half a month later, the second, third, and even the tenth massacred airship crashed into Eclipse Harbor.

…

"Woo~, Ashley, Lauren, are you sure we can really find Karl and the others this way?"

On the waterway near Eclipse Harbor, a team consisting of Lisanna, Ashe and Lauren was heading towards Eclipse Harbor in a small or medium-sized airship.

After the high-level adventurers left Storm Bay, the security situation there was effectively controlled.

So after informing Mooreband, Lisanna asked Joanna for an airship, and then paid someone to teleport herself and others to the air elemental plane, intending to look for the missing Carl.

In addition to the three of them, Bane and others also entered the Air Elemental Plane from other locations to look for Carl.

But so far, no one has any clues.

Air navigation is even more boring than sea navigation, but fortunately there is no chaos and interference brought by the twelve moons, and spellcasters can use short messages to communicate with each other.

This situation allows adventurers in the main plane to communicate with each other as quickly as possible.

However, just as Lisanna was sighing, two small and medium-sized airships were gradually approaching Lisanna and the others under the cover of clouds.

The pirates on the ship aimed at the sail power system, obviously preparing to attack Lisanna and others.
