Chapter 267 052: Lightning Hunter
After a pause, Luo Xi said to Jerome: "Go to the cockpit and tell the goblins to drive the boat to the side to avoid this big guy."
The Sky Whale is a very powerful magical creature, whose level is between a mid-level wizard and a high-level wizard. Although Luo Xi is not afraid of it, it is best not to provoke such trouble.
"yes."
Jerome ran towards the cockpit.
"Hey? Teacher, what are they doing over there?" At this moment, Angel pointed in a direction and asked Luo Xi.
Luo Xi turned his head and saw two airships parked above the clouds. The cloud they were in was a dark cloud with lightning and thunder. From time to time, lightning flashed through the cloud, like lightning snakes running through it.
Several men in strange attire, as if wearing raincoats, were standing on the deck, each holding a cylindrical wooden barrel in their hands pointing towards the sky. Whenever lightning struck, they would use the barrel to catch the lightning in the sky like water. When the lightning hit the barrel, the men would immediately take the lid and cover the barrel.
And these lightning bolts were completely trapped in the wooden barrels. The unwilling lightning bolts ran around back and forth in the barrels, but these barrels seemed to be specially made. No matter how they struggled, they could not get out of the barrels. Only the dull sound of "dong dong dong" could be heard.
Luo Xi observed and thought for a while, then said, "Those should be lightning hunters, hunting and catching lightning."
Angel was surprised and asked, "Lightning can be captured? There are even special lightning hunters?"
Luo Xi nodded: "Lightning is also a consumable that wizards often use. Lightning element particles are needed in many experiments, but you also know that except for wizards of the wind element system, other wizards find it difficult to obtain pure lightning element particles. Therefore, this kind of lightning hunter was specially bred."
"Did you see what they were wearing? The clothes they were wearing were special and could protect them from being harmed by lightning. The wooden barrel they used to imprison the lightning was also treated with special magic and could lock the lightning particles inside and prevent them from leaking out."
The lightning hunter Rosie was actually only seen after the journey began. After all, the lightning in ordinary clouds was not pure enough to meet the requirements of wizards' experiments. Therefore, most lightning hunters would only choose to come to the sky world to capture lightning.
They were armed to the teeth, wrapping themselves completely in rubber clothing, which was also specially cast with magic to allow them to completely avoid lightning strikes. Otherwise, under such thunder and lightning clouds, even the protective magic of a formal wizard would not last long, and ordinary humans would be reduced to ashes in an instant.
"I can ask about the price later and buy some lightning." Luo Xi thought, touching his chin.
Although as a magician of the wind element, he can easily extract pure lightning particles from space, but the original lightning particles captured from the natural world are still slightly different. Now that he has come across them, he might as well buy some and study them.
With this in mind, Luo Xi asked the goblins to stop the airship temporarily.
After waiting for a while, the dark cloud in front gradually dispersed to both sides, and the cloud layer soon returned to the snow-white color below. It was obvious that the lightning particles in the cloud layer had been exhausted.
The dissipation of dark clouds and the exhaustion of lightning naturally meant that the work of capturing lightning was over. The airship that was parked in the clouds also slowly floated away from the clouds. So Luo Xi, who had been waiting for a long time, decisively asked the goblins to move the airship over.
"Boom!" The roar of the propeller was heard, and Luo Xi's airship slowly flew over there.
On the other side, the airship seemed to have sensed the approach of Luo Xi's airship. They stopped again after just starting up, and an extra row of soldiers was added overtime, and they were obviously on alert.
The sky world is not peaceful at all, air pirates are rampant, and not long ago even a large port like Midway Port with sages in charge was looted, so they have no choice but to be cautious.
"Airship ahead, please stop and state your identities. If you come any closer we will treat you as an enemy ship!"
"Airship ahead, please stop and state your identities. If you come any closer we will treat you as an enemy ship!"
A loud warning sounded from the opposite side.
It was inevitable that people would panic when someone approached them without saying hello. Realizing his negligence, Luo Xi quickly and politely parked the airship at a safe distance for both parties, then left the airship alone and flew over there.
Arriving near the airship, Luo Xi sincerely released his mental power, which was the wizards' way of expressing peace.
There was also a wizard on the other side's airship. After sensing Luo Xi's mental power, a middle-aged strong man quickly flew up from the deck.
Coming in front of Luo Xi, the middle-aged strong man asked politely: "We are from the Holmus Flying Group, I am the group leader Baruch, may I ask who you are? What is the purpose of approaching our airship?"
Luo Xi said, "We are just passing by. I saw you catching lightning here. I just happened to need it for my recent research on magic. I want to ask if you sell lightning to the public? What is the price?"
After hearing Luo Xi's explanation, the vigilance in Baruch's eyes decreased a little. He looked at Luo Xi's wizard ship, then turned back and looked at Luo Xi again. It seemed that he was indeed just an ordinary wizard passing by.
Baruch said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency."
After a brief greeting, Baruch frowned and said, "But if you want to buy lightning, you may be disappointed. These lightnings are specially reserved for a wizard and are not for sale. I am very sorry."
"Is that so?" Luo Xi murmured, feeling a little disappointed.
Perhaps because he saw Luo Xi's expression, Baruch hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Excuse me, how much lightning do you need for your experiment? Is one lightning barrel enough?"
Luo Xi thought for a moment and said, "It won't take that much. I only need a little bit."
"If it's just a little bit, I might be able to think of a way." Baruch touched his chin and said, "Then wait a moment, Your Excellency."
After saying that, he turned around and flew towards the deck. After a while, he flew back again, and this time there was a crystal ball in his hand. In the middle of the crystal ball, one could clearly see lightning surrounding it.
Baruch asked, "Do you think this is enough?"
