king of elements

Chapter 147
Before crossing, Zhang Yuanhang had only been on a plane, and at that speed, he could fly an extremely long distance in a few hours.

And the airship he is riding in this world is indeed much more comfortable than an airplane, but the speed is too slow.

The speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour, to be honest, if it is not possible to climb over dangerous places such as mountains and rivers, I am afraid that few people will spend a long time on it.

After all, the average price of the airship ticket is 100 gold coin or more for a 1-kilometer journey.

This is a means of transportation that only the truly rich can afford.

Naturally, this is also a means of making money for many people.

For example, air bandits!

Compared with the mountain bandits and water bandits of the same family, the air bandits are much taller.

Because people without strength cannot fly.

In this world, flying is a difficult achievement.

Not to mention other things, although players call themselves gods in this world, except for a few professions, they can't fly.

In addition to professions such as mages, players have flying skills, and druids have skills such as raptor transformation to fly. If they want to go to heaven, they can only rely on external forces.

Either the airships built by NPCs, or those flying gems marked with the "legendary" level.

The most people choose is probably the flying mount.

This is true for players, not to mention people in this world—this world that has declined to its lowest point, it is even more difficult for them to fly.

To become a qualified air bandit, one must first have enough money to create flying props.

Generally speaking, the preferred flying props of the air bandits are single-person aircraft cast by Ao Neng Technology, which use special gems as energy sources.

But to use this kind of single-person aircraft, one needs to have profound knowledge, and ordinary people can't even control it.

And must have a certain ability to cast spells, after all, arcane technology is not mana technology, this is a necessary requirement.

And most importantly, because of the limitations of the aircraft, the air bandit must have a strong enough body to last long enough in the cold high altitude and air pressure.

Therefore, most of the people who can become air bandits are silver-level existences.

They are the nobles of the bandit world!

Of course, Zhang Yuanhang, who had never heard of air bandits, was naturally shocked by such a background.

Zhang Yuanhang was taught by a very old nobleman. He proudly stroked his mustache, looked at the surprised Zhang Yuanhang and said triumphantly: "Of course, don't look at the air bandits who are so demanding. , in fact, once the air bandits make a vote, they will naturally make a lot of money."

Air bandits require a lot of investment, and of course they also have amazing benefits.

After all, these silver people can get a lot of privileges and benefits if they take off their air bandit skins and go to any country, so they don't want to be wanted and displaced here.

As long as the air bandits can successfully break an empty boat, the benefits they bring are enough to make people crazy.

People who can take an empty boat are either rich or expensive, and a journey that is a little farther away costs at least a hundred gold coins.

These characters are all gathered on the airship, and there is no way to escape. The wealth found on them alone is enough to make the air bandits rich.

And some vicious air bandits will even take people away and make them pay a large ransom.

I don't know how many people have lost their homes because of this.

The most important thing is the empty boat. The things disassembled from it are even more expensive, making people envious. An empty boat sells for more than hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

But it is precisely because of this that the defense force of the airship can be said to be powerful at the national level.

When facing an airship, a small air bandit team often needs to recruit others in groups. Only a large air bandit team can hunt the airship alone.

Even so, there are often fewer victories and more losses.

That's why the old aristocrat next to Zhang Yuanhang was able to lean aside with an old god, laughing at the air bandits wantonly.

"Why are these air bandits flying outside all the time and not taking action?"

Zhang Yuanhang looked out the window, no wonder those aircraft can only be called single-person, they are really small and pitiful.

The aircraft was somewhat similar to the cabin of an ancient propeller plane before crossing. A person happened to block the opening, and it seemed that his legs could not be straightened.

The total volume of the aircraft is only a few cubic meters in size, and there are blue stripes floating around it, stretching out from the bottom of the aircraft, supporting the flight of the aircraft.

There are about a dozen of these aircraft, sliding outside, roaring around at high speed.

Compared with the huge airship, these aircraft seem to be mosquitoes around the giant, which looks a little ridiculous.

The old noble stretched out his head to look at the air bandits outside, and said with a sneer: "They don't dare to move. There are only so few people. How dare they come to actually rob the air boat."

Zhang Yuanhang nodded clearly. The airship he was riding in was very large, with an area of ​​several thousand square meters. There were several alchemy cannons arrayed around it, and some of the fully armed guards looked solemn and grasped their weapons.

These guards are all strong and strong, watching the air bandits flying around, and the orders and prohibitions make people feel unfathomable.

They are at least at the bronze level, and more than half of them have also reached the silver level.

Only through this point, Zhang Yuanhang can see that the strength of the airship is far superior to that of the air bandits in front of them, no wonder they dare not fight over.

"These guys are just flies, they came here to beg." A middle-aged man who seemed to have been on an empty boat many times came to Zhang Yuanhang and the others with a cup of black tea, and interjected after hearing Zhang Yuanhang's words, "The air bandits cost at least dozens of gold coins for a single dispatch, and there are even hundreds of people. They will definitely not take off meaninglessly."

"They must be passing by because of other things. After seeing the empty boat, they just want to have an autumn breeze."

"The airship will not attack them, because no one can say whether we passengers will be affected during the battle, which will cause greater losses, and they also need to ensure a better state, to face For the large air bandit team that may appear, so giving a few hundred gold coins is considered to send them away."

It seemed that the middle-aged man was right. Zhang Yuanhang saw an aircraft landed on the airship from the sky. After talking to the guards on the airship, he whistled and waved, and the other aircraft immediately flew away. start to stay away.

After the other party took a money bag from the guard, he immediately left in the aircraft, joined his previous team, and disappeared into the air far away.

"It's really like this." Zhang Yuanhang couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.

The middle-aged man also breathed a sigh of relief at this time: "It seems that it is indeed the case."

When he found Zhang Yuanhang looking at him in surprise, he actually laughed: "I just said the most likely scenario, and there is another one, that is, there is an ambush by them on the airship. When everyone is not paying attention, the inside and outside are activated together."

After speaking, he shrugged and left.

Zhang Yuanhang touched his chin, thinking that this person seemed quite interesting.

And after hearing what he said, he felt that there really seemed to be something worth thinking about in this empty boat.
