Time flies, and it's already the end of December. Everything is ready.
This day was the Alchemy City's once-every-ten-day "market day," and also the day Yun Wei and Isaac embarked on their long voyage aboard the "Cloud Boat."
They deliberately chose this day, because on this day, the city's security would be more relaxed, and the gloom over Alchemy City would clear up.
The group gathered in the semi-open assembly plant.
The airship, fully equipped and ready for launch, has already begun warming up. The two rows of flaxen-colored gasbags on the top of the cabin are particularly cute, like the big ears of a little white rabbit, and are making a "hissing" sound.
Sid finally listened to Yunwei's suggestion and separated the vertical and horizontal power systems.
The cloud boat will use water and fire to levitate, while wind will only be used to control the horizontal direction.
As for why the steam power technology from Yunwei's previous life is still effective in this world, Yunwei doesn't know either.
Perhaps it's because of gravity, he guessed.
Just as people attract each other, gravity is prevalent in most parts of the world.
Isaac and Silver were carrying supplies into the airship, while he stood in front of it, side by side with Sid, admiring the amazing flying creation before them.
Yun Wei chatted casually, "The apprentices are all on holiday today, so the house is much quieter now."
“Yeah, they’re reliable anyway, there’s no need to keep them locked up in the workshop all day. I think they should rest more.” Sid was clearly in a good mood. “Little Yunwei, I suddenly miss you so much.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Wei turned his head in surprise, only to see the wise and capable master smiling gently at him.
The other person's emerald green eyes were just as clear and pure as when they first met.
Yun Wei suddenly felt a lump in his throat. He quickly lowered his eyes and grinned, "Hey, we'll be back soon. Make sure to save us a room."
Sid turned his head, looked up at the airbags of the cloud boat, and forced a smile. "I will. I will always have that guest room ready for you."
"Hmm." Yun Wei also turned his head back.
He didn't say much; this deep affection couldn't be fully expressed with just gratitude.
The time he spent working and living with the four of them was relaxed and joyful, truly a rare and precious moment in his life.
He dared not look at Sid anymore, because it would make him even more reluctant to part.
"Oh, right, little Yunwei, remember to check out the little bookshelf on the cloud boat later. I've prepared some of my treasured books for you, the kind that record advanced spellcasting techniques." Sid turned his head again and winked at the Easterner beside him.
“Okay,” Yun Wei replied. He looked at Xi De and asked doubtfully, “But, it seems like you didn’t have this in your library before…”
Sid already had a vast collection of books, but he had tried to find one about advanced spellcasting techniques but to no avail.
“Of course, those books are priceless treasures, I carry them with me at all times.” Sid shrugged and urged, “Alright, you should get on the ship now, your jealous husband is glaring at me again.”
"Huh?" Yun Wei looked at Isaac in confusion, only to see that the other party was clearly laughing and joking with Silver.
Ever since that day he played that "Don't Move" game with Isaac that made his heart race...
The feelings between the two people changed again, and this wonderful feeling was hard to describe accurately.
To give an analogy, it's like fermentation; as long as there's enough sugar, it will eventually produce a sweet and intoxicating wine.
The other person will cling to him more openly and confidently, and will spoil him even more.
Yes, this was a deeply affectionate and doting gesture from Issa that was almost too much for him to bear.
Although he himself has hands and feet, he is still meticulously cared for in his daily life by the other party.
The most substantial change lies in the way the two people look at each other.
The shy, tentative glances that once lingered have transformed into a magnetic attraction. Once their eyes meet, they gaze at each other as if forgetting everything else, as if they can never get enough of looking at one another.
However, after that incident, Isaac forbade him from doing the same thing again.
"What's wrong? Are you... feeling unwell?" Although he was too embarrassed to ask, Yun Wei gritted his teeth and forced himself to ask.
He has a strong learning ability; as long as he practices diligently, he will eventually become proficient.
"Of course not." The knight even blushed, which was rare for him. "It was very, very comfortable, very enjoyable... I was so happy that I almost died. But... anyway, you, you can't do this again."
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere between them became ambiguous again, so ambiguous that it felt as if the air itself had thickened.
Although Yun Wei ultimately didn't know the reason, he simply let the other party do as they pleased.
Anyway, he wasn't the only one who was suffering a lot.
Yun Wei thought that he himself probably wasn't a person who valued desires.
He was lost in thought when Sid urged him again, "Alright, stop standing there, let's get on the ship!"
"Okay." Yun Wei quickly came to her senses and reluctantly said goodbye, "Goodbye, Teacher Xi De."
"Goodbye, little Yunwei." Sid tapped his lower back with one hand and waved to Yunwei with the other.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yun Wei and Isaac enter the airship's cabin together.
to be honest……
Over time, he had begun to regret the angry words he had said to Silver.
He had to admit that Isaac, that jealous guy, was very good at training; even the frail Silver quickly became strong under Isaac's guidance.
So much so that even he, who originally had the upper hand, is now finding it difficult to cope.
Hmm, I wonder if things would be better if he broke through to Archmage sooner.
"It should be fine," Sid thought seriously. After all, that jealous guy looked so fierce, but Xiao Yunwei always seemed so at ease.
Could it be that once one becomes a mage, one can enjoy entirely new buffs in the bedroom?
Thinking of this, Sid's eyes narrowed, and he quickly took out his notebook from his pocket to write down his strange conjecture that had flashed into his mind.
...
As Sid and Silver waved goodbye, the cloud boat, with its concealment array activated, slowly ascended into the air.
Isaac was manually maneuvering the steering wheel, while Yun Wei stood to the side, silently spreading his mental energy.
The archmage's mental energy easily penetrated into the nearest magic turret, and Yun Wei "saw" that the guard on duty was fast asleep, taking a comfortable nap.
Turbid yellow snot bubbles escaped from the other person's nasal opening, which was covered with thick nasal hairs, causing Yun Wei to instinctively look away in disgust.
After all, Alchemy City had been peaceful for hundreds of years, and the day-to-day garrisoning was more like a formality.
He glanced at the turret's monitoring screen, which remained perfectly normal, with no red warning signs appearing.
Seeing this, Yun Wei slowly withdrew his mental energy and turned to Isaac, saying, "It's a success, Isaac. This concealment array, which was drawn by himself using light element magic patterns, is very successful. The magic crystal tower didn't notice us at all."
This was also Sid's brilliant idea.
The magic crystal tower in the city, built more than 700 years ago, originally had the ability to reverse identify the concealment array of light elements, but the principle was to reverse-engineer those common concealment spells.
Sid decides to try using the light magic runes he built himself for concealment.
Although it may not be as simple as the documented magic rune combinations, the result was exactly as the opponent expected: it was a powerful tool for dealing with mechanically rigid magic turrets.
But thinking about this, Yun Wei felt a chill run down his spine.
