Chapter 270 003: Moon Shadow
Standing on the dock, Luo Xi tilted his head to look at the airship docked next to him.
This is a three-masted sailing airship, about twenty meters long, with a slender and elegant hull, smooth lines, and a unique metallic luster. Three towering masts stand side by side, like three loyal guardians, standing at the bow. Each mast is hung with exquisite sails, which have been folded up and quietly hanging beside the mast, as if waiting for the moment to raise the sails again.
The hull and the aerial dock are closely connected by a series of sophisticated mechanical devices. These devices are like spider webs, firmly fixing the airship on the dock, and even the slightest wind cannot shake its position.
On both sides of the hull, there are rows of exquisite windows. Most of these windows are closed, and only a few are slightly open, revealing the warmth and tranquility in the cabin. The glass on the windows reflects the sunlight, sparkling with crystal light, and complements the metallic luster of the hull, further highlighting the magnificence and nobility of the airship.
At the stern, the huge propeller had stopped spinning and was hanging quietly in the air. Its blades shone with a metallic luster in the sun, as if telling the story of the airship's past voyages.
The entire airship docked at the aerial dock looked like a still painting. It was quietly suspended in the air, blending in with the surrounding scenery, forming a harmonious and spectacular picture.
Beautiful, sophisticated, elegant.
This was the first adjective that came to Luo Xi's mind when he saw the airship.
"My dear guest, are you ready to see an airship?" At this moment, a middle-aged fat man came over. He was about forty years old, fat, wearing a heavy woolen robe, a wide belt around his waist, and a round hat on his head. His face was round, and his eyes sparkled with the shrewdness and calculation of a businessman. Overall, he gave people a wealthy and sophisticated impression.
Luo Xi nodded and asked, "I plan to take a look."
The fat man's face was filled with an enthusiastic smile. "This guest is really discerning. Bazel has the best airship in the entire Yunyi Port."
After a pause, he introduced the airship next to him to Luo Xi: "The airship you see in front of you is called Moon Shadow. It is a masterpiece of a sage, created by combining magic and mechanics, and is used to explore the unknown sky. Each mast of the airship contains powerful magical energy, and the hull is made of rare metals, which is light and strong. You can ride it to any place in the entire sky world."
The advertising slogan is quite beautiful.
Perhaps the expression of desire on Luo Xi's face was too obvious, so the fat man asked, "How about it? My distinguished guest, if you like it, you can take it away. I think its purpose of staying here is to wait for your arrival."
Luo Xi admitted that the fat man's words did arouse his interest, but there was nothing he could do if the price was too expensive.
He asked, "How many magic stones?"
The fat man stretched out a palm and said: "It's not expensive, only 500 high-level magic stones."
Luo Xi said: "Isn't this too expensive?"
Five hundred high-level magic stones would be five million magic stones, which is not a small number even for high-level wizards, and it is almost an astronomical figure for ordinary beginners and intermediate wizards.
The fat man said, "You should know that this price is not expensive for an airship. You know, the main structure of our airship is made of Moonlight Divine Wood. You also know how expensive this material is."
Luo Xi was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Is this airship made of the Moonlight Divine Wood?"
The Moonlight Tree originated from a hidden place called the "Silver Moon Forest". This forest is located under the shadow of the moon, and only on certain nights, when the moonlight shines on the earth, will it be looming in the mist.
There are countless rare plants growing in the Silver Moon Forest, but the Moonlight Tree is the most unique and precious. Its trunk is as smooth as jade and presents a light silver-white color, as if the light of the moon is permanently engraved in every fiber. Under the moonlight, the Moonlight Tree will emit a soft and mysterious light, illuminating the entire forest and guiding lost travelers.
However, it is not easy to obtain the Moonlight Tree. Only wizards with pure hearts and powerful magical powers can find its traces in the Silver Moon Forest and cut it down through ancient rituals. The power of the Moonlight Tree is extremely strong. It is not only used to make magical transportation tools such as airships, but also often used to make wizard supplies such as staffs and magic books to enhance the wizard's magical power.
The fat man did not answer directly. Instead, he took out a stone from his pocket and injected magic power into it to activate it. Suddenly, a faint silver-white light appeared on the outside of the stone, just like the moonlight at night.
Luo Xi knew that this was the Moonstone.
The fat man aimed the moonlight gem at the airship next to him. When the moonlight in the gem shone onto the airship, it was obvious that a faint halo began to appear where the airship was illuminated by the moonlight, and the moonlight seemed to penetrate inside and be absorbed.
Luo Xi's eyes lit up: "It really is the Moonlight Divine Tree!"
The Moonlight Divine Wood, a strange magical material, has a property that it can absorb moonlight and convert it into magical energy.
The airship consumes a huge amount of magic stones when flying, but if the entire ship is made of the Moonlight Divine Wood, the consumption of magic stones during flight can be greatly reduced.
The fat man smiled and said, "I think you should agree with this price now."
That is true . Although after so many years of research and cultivation by wizards, the Moonlight Divine Tree is no longer a specialty of the Silver Moon Forest, but because of the difficulty of planting and the huge cost, the price of the Moonlight Divine Tree in the market has always been high.
This airship is estimated to be more than 20 meters long. If it is made entirely of the Moonlight Divine Wood, the value of the wood alone is probably no less than 3 million magic stones. Add in other miscellaneous internal facility parts, floating gems, various magic runes, etc., then it is reasonable to sell it for 5 million magic stones.
Although he accepted the price in his heart, Luo Xidian still did not express his opinion immediately. After all, no matter how good something is, you have to compare it from three stores before you can buy it, let alone an expensive item like an airship that is worth millions of magic stones.
He said, "Let me take a look first."
The fat man didn't force it, and smiled confidently: "Okay, Bazel, you are welcome to come over anytime."
After strolling around the market, Luo Xi still couldn't find a more suitable airship, so he finally came to the fat man's place.
After some bargaining, he finally bought the Moon Shadow at a high price of 4.8 million magic stones. Although it was only a discount of 200,000 magic stones, Bazel also gave him three slave scrolls, which allowed him to choose three slaves in the market. (End of this chapter)
