Without answering Tina, Carl raised his right foot and kicked the iron ant directly.
"Go down!"
A weak electric current flows through the iron ant, and the electromagnetic suspension magic element is activated.
Before Tina could come to her senses, the iron ant had already carried her downwards.
"Ah! Master, I hate you!"
Tina left the spaceship screaming.
On the floating island, after a brief mobilization, a militia composed of mage apprentices and people from various professions was already preparing to defend their homes.
When they saw a strange man standing on an iron plate and wearing bright red metal armor flying down from the spaceship, some of them had even secretly prepared spells, ready to intercept this unknown existence before it arrived.
They thought their actions were covert, but from Tina's high vantage point, they were obvious.
For the sake of her own life, even though she had just left her hometown, Tina still gritted her teeth and shouted:
"Folks, don't do anything. It's me!"
With one hand, Tina moved the artificial life servant on her belt, and her power armor helmet immediately turned into moon spirit marrow fluid and returned to the belt, revealing her true appearance.
On the floating island below, several people who were familiar with Tina heard the voice and recognized that the person coming was the child they had watched grow up.
"Village leader, it's Tina, is there any misunderstanding?"
Glancing at the village woman who was speaking for Tina, the village chief sighed and said in a somewhat sad tone, "Whether there is a misunderstanding or not is not up to you and me to decide. It's not like there haven't been cases in our history where ungrateful people from outlying islands have brought pirates back to rob people. Be careful!"
After saying that, he raised his head and shouted to Tina who was about to reach the ground: "It turned out to be you, girl. How come you came back so soon after going out? Did you lead that big guy in the sky here?"
Hearing the village chief's words, Tina thought that the village chief and his men had recognized her, so she let down her guard, and quickly said: "Yes, I brought them here, don't worry, everyone, that spaceship is my master's, they just want to borrow the village's teleportation array."
As she spoke, Tina had already reached the ground.
The beautifully crafted power armor made several young men in the crowd extremely jealous, and after hearing what Tina said, the old village chief also let down his guard a little.
"It looks like these guys aren't coming for the village. Otherwise, if they drove that thing over, most of the floating island would be shattered. As for the teleportation array this girl mentioned? They can already build something like this, but they still want to borrow one from us?"
Reluctantly suppressing the doubts in his heart, the village chief began to ask tentatively: "Where are you from, Master? What are you doing here?"
Tina, who was not cunning, immediately replied: "My master is a strange machine master from the main plane. Not long ago, he came to our air element plane because of an accident. The spaceship was built by him using a super-large cloud iron mine. The spaceship is super big!
By the way, he said he seemed to be a sixth-grade student at Akanix..."
When he heard the word "Akanix", the old village chief raised his eyebrows.
Trembling, the old village chief asked again: "Where do you say he is from?"
Startled by the old village chief's excited expression, Tina asked cautiously: "Akanix? What's the problem?"
He raised the staff in his hand slightly, and just when Tina thought the old village chief was going to cast a spell, he knocked the staff hard on the ground.
"No problem! No problem! The alarm is lifted! Let your master and his companions come down."
At the same time, Carl, who learned the news here through the Mystic Eye, flew down with everyone on the Shuttle.
"Hello, village chief, sorry to bother you."
As soon as he got off the Shuttle, Carl politely greeted the village chief.
The old village chief looked at him excitedly, as if he had seen a distant relative whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Are you a student of Akanix?"
Without asking any other questions, he asked about this matter first.
Karl was stunned, then pulled Nia out.
"We both are. I'm from the Tower of Wonders, and she's from the Tower of Transformation."
When the old village chief heard the words "Tower of Wonders", he looked obviously puzzled.
Seeing this, Carl roughly guessed something and explained, "It was the former Tower of Learning. Because the seniors' research on magic caused serious losses, the school's mechanical master became the new owner of this Mage Tower."
Hearing this, the village chief showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
Rubbing his hands, he said a little embarrassedly: "My great grandfather is a graduate of the Akanix School of Spellcraft. He and his companions came to the Air Elemental Plane to practice in seclusion, and later they simply had children here.
The descendants are incompetent, and there haven't been any powerful wizards in these years. They just relied on the blood of their ancestors to become sorcerers, and they can't even return to the main plane.
Today, I can actually see the younger generation who went to the same school as my ancestors again. It’s really… really…”
At this point, the village chief was so excited that he almost shed tears.
"Don't get excited, old man. I happen to have a record of the public teleportation array numbers on the continent of Khorvaire. If you want to go back, you can go back with us and take a look later."
"No, no, no, not yet. You have come from far away and accepted Tina as your apprentice. Let's go! The village is celebrating the New Year, why don't we join in the fun?"
Without further ado, he grabbed Carl and the strong but vigorous village chief led his men into the village.
But at the same time, he and Carl had similar thoughts in their minds: 'This person must be hiding something, old (little) fox!'
On the surface, they walked towards the village together in a friendly manner, but Carl and the village chief were secretly on guard.
What Carl was thinking was: The Giant Notes that Tina brought with her were obviously related to the Eternal Furnace. If we extend this a little, it would mean that the ancestors of this village might have come to the Air Elemental Plane just for the Eternal Furnace.
The village chief was thinking: Although Carl and others do look like students of Arkanix and have some ties with the village, the news about the giant's treasure hidden in the village cannot be exposed, and the fact that the village is located near the giant's treasure cannot be exposed, so the code of the village's teleportation array should not be exposed.
Just like that, with a little bit of caution, Carl and others followed the village chief into the village.
However, what they didn't know was that two days away from the floating island, more than a dozen airships were heading towards them.
The leader of this group of people was a machinist whose half body had been transformed into a machine. In his hands, he held a map written in giant runes and a compass specially used to identify directions in the air elemental plane and determine the location of the floating island.
