Chapter 228 The Restless North
Above the Nield mining area, thirty [Flying Eyes] were stumbling along the cliff.
Not far behind, there was a [Flying Eye] drone of a different color following.
Under the influence of the airflow caused by the rapid flight, the metal limbs of [Flying Eye] were blown from under its body to behind it.
With that big round head, they look like a group of little flying octopuses.
If it were a group of flying birds, the scene would look like a black and purple eagle chasing a group of pigeons that have just learned to fly.
Compared to Leia's private plane, the thirty [Flying Eyes] were very slow;
But compared to other creatures, this thing is much faster than a real pigeon.
Most of the [Flying Eyes] were like toddlers, but there was one that was much faster than its companions.
Its bright silver shell reflects the dazzling sunlight.
Its speed in the air continues to increase, and occasionally it performs a series of fancy moves like a real flying bird.
Flying is different from walking. Even without wings and relying on air buoyancy, the [Flying Eye] still needs to face the resistance from the front and the air currents in the air.
Therefore, even Leia, who is used to using the [Mage's Eye], won't do any fancy moves in the air.
The fast-moving [Flying Eye] drone had left its companions behind by a large distance, and it returned to its starting point in a short time.
It seemed like it didn't have enough fun and even did a spin and jump in the air.
After the drone's operator had steadily landed the Flying Eye on the ground, he let go and looked excitedly at the metal ball that he had just had such a great time playing with.
"I remember you. You're the little halfling girl who sewed the masks."
Ivan stood up. Although he didn't "see" this girl showing off her skills in the sky like Leia did, the first pilot who circled around and returned did require his more attention.
"Your Excellency, Aiwen!"
Looking at Ivan walking towards her, the half-orc girl blushed as much as Senna's raspberry bush.
"Light, light, light-foot halfling, Vi, Vi, Vila salutes you..."
The girl herself was not tall, even for a halfling, she was short.
At this time, he was trembling with his head down and introduced himself to Ivan.
Pity……
Ivan narrowed his eyes slightly. The talented driver he had finally found turned out to be a stutterer.
"Vera! Speak properly!"
Annie followed beside Ivan, looking at her fellow tribesmen in front of her with a little displeasure.
“Sir Ivan, Vera is not usually like this.
Please forgive her for her disrespect to you."
In the main material world, especially in the human aristocratic circle, if an ordinary civilian or a lower-ranking noble speaks unclearly in a conversation with a superior, it will be regarded as a contempt.
How could Alvin know this? He thought the little girl had some congenital disease.
With a try-it attitude, Alvin sent out a [Heal Moderate Injuries] spell, wanting to see if his healing magic could be effective for stuttering.
"Mr. Aiwen... what are you going to do...
Wait, wait, wait a moment... Don't, don't... ah? Ah!
Wuuwuwuwu…"
As expected, the little half-ling girl squatted on the ground and cried.
"Sister Yani... wuwuwuwu... what you said before...
Lord Ivan will not cast such a perverted spell on us... wuwuwuwu..."
Alvin was completely confused, but he was very satisfied with the effect of his spell.
Look, now this stuttering girl can speak normally now!
Following a few whistling sounds, the remaining [Flying Eye] drones also returned to the platform one after another.
Most of the testers were sweating profusely, and nearly half of them fell to the ground.
The goal of this round of testing is the physical fitness required as a driver.
Those who fail to complete the detour or are too slow will be eliminated by Leia.
"Let the next batch begin..."
Hovering her adamantine [Flying Eye] in the air, Leia waved to the Nields who were waiting for the test in the distance.
……
On the wall of the Frost Giants' living area, Alduin looked towards the northeast with a grim expression.
The old skeleton Rillifen was standing nearby. He went out for another round of reconnaissance and the current situation was not ideal.
"The good news is that because the previous troops were annihilated, there are no new half-dragons heading in our direction..."
The skeleton in white robe was wiping his ribs with a silk scarf.
“The bad news is that a group of half-dragons with completely different attire have appeared deep in the Spine of the World.
So, Alduin, you've been in the Spine of the World for so long, but you haven't discovered any dimensional rifts there?"
Alduin, with an unpleasant look on his face, glared at the old skeleton in annoyance.
"Rillifane, if even Onseth, who is everywhere in the Spine of the World, can't find it, why do you think I can find it?"
"Indeed, you, the ancestor of the frost giants, have an absurdly high amount of water."
The old skeleton's mouth has always been like this. The only ones who can compete with him in terms of venomous tongue are probably Leia and Ivan.
"Old man, you went out for a while, why are you so impatient after coming back?"
The old skeleton, who continued to wipe his ribs, began to jump like a child after hearing this.
"impatient?
Shouldn't I be impatient?
Now at the Moon Sea in the Far East, the group of half-dragons are still running around in the fog at the Moon Sea. I don't know how they are fighting the monsters inside.
Corellon didn't care about the Elven Courtyard at all. The group of Fallen relied entirely on instinct to attack the half-dragon troops.
And considering the difference in strength between the two sides, it would only take about ten days at most for the half-dragon to break through the Elven Courtyard;
The only front line that can directly resist the half-dragons is here.
Guess what happened? The half-dragons lost 500 people and then they stopped coming!"
【Both...】
Before Rillifane could reply, the voice of the Lord of Ice Elemental rang out in the hearts of both of them at the same time.
[There's something wrong with that team of half-dragons...]
"It's indeed different. It's a size bigger than a normal half-dragon, faster, and uglier.
Also, when I found them, the guys were playing with their clothes, every one of them;
They are near Alduin's former residence and show no signs of moving."
The old skeleton accidentally broke off a rib from his body and was frantically pressing it against his body.
[Your Highness Rillifane, you are right...
But now... they are starting to move...】
"Oh? Where are you going?"
【west……】
"The West? The wilderness?
They want to attack the orcs?"
Alduin's face was full of surprise. Since Hega had come back once during the journey, he was very clear about the current situation of the orcs.
"That kid Ivan designed an incredible city for the orcs.
If the half-dragons hope to make a breakthrough through the northwest wasteland, I'm afraid they will be greatly disappointed."
