Chapter 422

Gurgle~

As soon as it appeared in the room, the cyan figure spat out a series of small whirlpools from its "mouth," causing a strong wind to rise in the enclosed room.

Subsequently, it reacted and hurriedly covered its mouth.

The air outlet was blocked, and in its place was its body, which suddenly bulged at the chest, then suddenly bulged at the shoulder, as if a gopher was hidden in its body, drilling everywhere.

The cyan figure, in an extremely human-like manner, scratched its head with its other free hand.

Looking at its dead appearance, Gao De could only helplessly hold his forehead.

"I'm also impressed by you, you thing."

This cyan figure was naturally the Storm Soul he had released, which was mistaken by Magic User Theodore and Count Roland as the "phantom spirit" that was annihilated in the energy torrent along with the Wind Dragon's energy core.

The Storm Soul definitely did not have the powerful strength to resist that wind elemental energy torrent.

But it is not a phantom spirit, but advanced from the Wild Soul of 【Wild Agility+】.

Therefore, Gao De can recall the Storm Soul at any time by canceling the spell.

But this is only an ideal state.

At that time, the Storm Soul had long been far away from Gao De, its master, and had penetrated deep into the wind elemental secondary plane; logically speaking, it should have long been out of Gao De's control.

But fortunately, Gao De still has an extremely special and powerful ability.

Mandora Magic Eye.

This allows him to instantly grasp the movements and situation of the Storm Soul even across such a long distance.

This allowed Gao De to discover the danger in time and cancel 【Wild Agility+】 just before the Storm Soul was about to be annihilated by the torrent.

This was how he snatched food from the tiger's mouth, saved the Storm Soul, and created the illusion of the Storm Soul's heroic sacrifice in front of a group of powerful magic users of at least the fourth circle.

The result was naturally good.

One is because of the Storm Soul's sacrifice, he, as the master of the Storm Soul, can get more compensation.

The second is that the principle of "an innocent man treasuring a jade ring gets himself into trouble" holds true everywhere; a special phantom spirit that swallowed the energy core of a fifth-circle wind elemental creature is always eye-catching.

Whether it is the phantom spirit itself or the fifth-circle elemental energy core, both belong to the "jade ring."

And now, both jade rings are broken, so others will only express gratitude and regret to Gao De.

Just like if you really win the lottery, others will probably not be happy for you, but if you almost win the lottery, everyone will feel genuinely sorry for you after a long sigh of relief...

It's just that, although the result is good, the process still makes Gao De have lingering fears.

If it weren't for the clairvoyance ability granted by the third-circle Mandora Magic Eye, which first-circle magic user could clearly see the scene in the Wind Knot from such a long distance on the sea, and cancel 【Wild Agility+】 at this critical moment?

In this situation, the result would be that the first-stage Storm Soul that he had worked so hard to raise would directly drop to "blank," and everything would have to start over.

This loss would be heavy.

In fact, if there were no third-circle Mandora Magic Eye, Gao De would either have canceled the spell to pull it back from the secondary plane for the sake of insurance the first time the Storm Soul entered the Wind Knot, and naturally there would be no subsequent "snake swallowing an elephant" matter.

Or he would be big-hearted, let the Storm Soul play freely, and finally end up with the miserable ending of exploding and dying, with everything done in vain.

But fortunately, there are no "ifs."

However, he still had to lecture it.

Gao De launched a round of criticism regarding the Storm Soul's reckless behavior.

After finishing, he then understood the current state of the Storm Soul in detail.

Actually, it's not complicated.

It can be described in one word: stuffed.

The first-stage Storm Soul, in terms of rank, is actually just a first-circle energy creature.

A first-circle energy creature, swallowing a peak fifth-circle wind elemental creature's energy core alive, can it not be stuffed?

Being stuffed is considered good; other first-circle creatures simply couldn't eat it, or rather, they would explode as soon as they ate it.

It can only be said that the potential of the Wild Soul is truly extraordinary.

But no matter how extraordinary the potential is, with this fifth-circle wind elemental energy core down, it will not be a matter of a day or two for the Storm Soul to fully digest it; it will have to be counted in years.

Regarding this point, Gao De has no dissatisfaction.

One cannot get the benefits and still complain.

When this fifth-circle wind elemental energy core is fully digested, there is no doubt that the Storm Soul will inevitably be able to enter the second-stage form and condense its own energy core.

From then on, the Storm Soul will possess the ability to absorb free energy from the outside world by itself, so as to complete its own subsequent advancement, instead of only being able to rely on external objects for feeding like now.

This is actually equivalent to the cultivation ability of a magic user.

That is to say, as long as it enters the second stage, even if you don't feed it anything, relying on time to slowly simmer, you can simmer the Storm Soul into a "BOSS."

And for magic users who practice the *Qingmu Changsheng Jing*, the greatest advantage compared to other magic users is their long lifespan.

This is incomparably compatible with the Storm Soul.

Therefore, in front of this foreseeable bright future, Gao De did not continue to criticize the Storm Soul that almost "deleted its account and started over."

After confirming that there was no major problem with the state of the Storm Soul, he then began to explore the abilities of the Storm Soul.

After all, having absorbed so much wind elemental energy to advance from a Wild Soul to a Storm Soul, it shouldn't be like before, only able to make fires, set up tents, organize backpacks, pick up firewood, and throw away trash, right?

Although, being able to do these chores is already great.

After Gao De asked, the Storm Soul quickly conveyed some information.

Then, Gao De, who was originally just curious, instantly crashed.

After being dazed for a long time, he slowly came back to his senses, could no longer suppress the joy in his heart, patted the Storm Soul on the shoulder hard, and smiled all over his face.

"Good job," Gao De suddenly remembered that it seemed he should give the Storm Soul a name; thoughts flashed in his mind, and he had an idea on the spot, "Boeing, good job Boeing!"

"Boeing, that will be your name from now on."

The information Boeing conveyed is actually not much, because after all, it is now just a first-circle creature, and the abilities it possesses are not many, or rather, there are only three in total.

One is Air Control, similar to the airflow control ability of wind elemental creatures, which can manipulate airflow to form whirlwinds, turbulence, and other forms, but limited by its own rank, the control ability is definitely limited.

The other is Wind Transformation; Boeing can transform into wind anytime and anywhere to go to some places that are difficult to go to, possessing the speed and freedom of wind.

However, this ability is temporarily sealed due to the existence of the undigested energy core in its body.

—Boeing itself can transform into wind, but the energy core that does not belong to it cannot change with it, unless it cuts off its own arm to survive and discards this energy core.

The last ability is the source of Gao De's uncontrollable joy and naming the Storm Soul "Boeing."

Possession.

Boeing can briefly possess Gao De, allowing Gao De to display some of its abilities.

In terms of combat power, the bonus is actually not large.

The most practical Wind Transformation cannot be displayed even if possessed because Gao De is a material creature.

As for Air Control, the power is limited and cannot compare to the spells Gao De himself can cast.

However...

Boeing can fly.

So... after possession, under the blessing of the Storm Soul, Gao De will also be able to possess the ability to fly, even if he is only a first-circle magic user!

Flight is a supernatural ability that only third-circle magic users can master, and it is also where the gap between third-circle magic users and low-circle magic users is most obvious.

I can fly, you can't fly; not to mention that the combat power is already higher than yours, even if the combat power is weaker than yours, I can advance and retreat, naturally occupying a huge advantage.

And even without mentioning this, any person, after obtaining the ability to fly, would definitely be unable to be unhappy.

Especially for Gao De, who came from a technology-side world, the joy in his heart was even greater.

From a very early time, people have longed for the sky, yearned for the sky, and longed to fly freely in the air like a bird.

Gao De had just personally experienced 【Flight】 before, truly felt the huge difference between flying himself and flying by riding a vehicle, and was still having an unfinished experience, when in the blink of an eye, he actually possessed this ability.

It's truly like a dream.

Try it.

After knowing that he could fly, Gao De couldn't wait to start trying.

With a thought, he nodded slightly at Boeing.

Boeing instantly understood, its cyan body bumped into Gao De, and the possession was completed instantly.

Whoosh!

The cyan vortex covered Gao De's whole body, bringing the airflow to flow rapidly, making Gao De's whole body much lighter.

In the state of possession, Gao De could perceive that he had an extremely keen perception of the airflow constantly flowing in the air and a strange power of control.

He just clenched his fist slightly, and a miniature whirlpool was generated according to his thoughts.

Not to mention the power, this feeling is quite wonderful, somewhat like obtaining some kind of superpower.

However, this is just a side dish.

The real main course is flight.

Gao De controlled the cyan vortex around his body to flow upward.

Subsequently, he hovered up in an extremely light posture.

Because he was in the room, the ceiling was right above, so Gao De floated up more than a meter and stopped, but even so, he still felt great.

Under the huge joy, Gao De even felt a little embarrassed about his own criticism just now.

Boeing, I spoke a little loudly just now...

Gao De didn't bother Boeing anymore; after experiencing it, he canceled the spell again and let it digest the Wind Dragon's energy core with peace of mind.

And he, after washing up, cast 【Comfortable Slumber+】 on himself and went to bed to rest.

"The disaster victims in Wusuo Town have been trapped for three days and need fleet rescue; Hailunzhi Town lacks food, send people to deliver food immediately!"

"Send all the healing magic users down, and bring doctors! After the flood, there may be spreading plagues, which may even cause greater disasters than the flood; we must strictly prevent it!"

"The city guards should also go; under the natural disaster, there are always people fishing in troubled waters and looting; we must strictly investigate and punish this behavior; we must protect the lives of the disaster victims and also protect their property as much as possible!"

"The disaster victims of Maweisong Town gather here, all come to me, register the household information!"

When Gao De woke up full of energy and rushed to the Municipal Square again, it was already bustling with noise and excitement.

The Wind Knot disaster has been resolved, but the disaster has not ended, and disaster relief work is still being carried out in full swing.

Therefore, even if it is a great victory, there is currently no time or mood to celebrate and reward merits.

Gao De also understood this truth, so he rushed over as soon as he woke up and continued to join the disaster relief work.

The good news is that after resolving the Wind Knot disaster, Auckland was finally able to free up its hands and fully invest in disaster relief.

Another thing is that the continuous whirlwinds dissipated, and the heavy rain that had been falling for three days and three nights finally stopped.

While Gao De was sleeping, Count Roland did not rest, but worked tirelessly to lead the disaster relief work, dispatch personnel, and assign tasks based on the disaster summary.

The disaster victims from the villages and towns closest to Auckland had already been picked up to Auckland City by the dispatched fleet.

Large numbers of disaster victims were constantly walking down from the rescue ships, recording and registering with the clerical staff, and then gathering according to the villages and towns they originally belonged to, and being checked by doctors to see if anyone was carrying an epidemic.

On the other side, hot food had already been prepared, and after checking and confirming that there was no problem, everyone could receive a portion of hot food to warm their bodies.

Gao De watched for a while on the side, and then listened for a while.

"Recruit a group of people in the city to go to Taier Town, Hailunzhi Town... to help drain water and save the fields!" Count Roland's voice penetrated the noisy crowd, and he pointed to the red dots with water stains on the map and emphasized.

Disaster relief, disaster relief, saving people is definitely the priority, but it is not everything.

After the disaster victims are rescued, there is still a lot of work to do.

For example, saving the fields.

If the wheat fields submerged in water are drained in time, it is impossible to save them all, but many can still survive.

Therefore, to each disaster area, in addition to rescuing and transferring disaster victims, it is also necessary to arrange a group of people to save the fields.

"Urge the production of strip stones again; the dam breach must be repaired as soon as possible; the strip stones must be in place within one day!"

"In addition, send people to the city's horse gangs and chambers of commerce to requisition carriages; as soon as the strip stones are ready, transport them to the dam breach immediately."

"..." Count Roland made various dispatches according to the different situations of each village and town.

As the supreme ruler of the Auckland region, Count Roland's experience in dealing with disasters can be described as incomparably rich.

Gao De just watched from the side and felt that it was a mess, and the things were complicated beyond words, but Count Roland's command and dispatch were extremely methodical and orderly, which made people feel incomparably at ease.

What is needed here is not only the understanding of disaster response methods, but more importantly, the absolute understanding of the scale of each village and town and the materials and personnel in Auckland City.

From this, it can be seen that Count Roland is definitely a diligent person who focuses on government affairs, not the kind of fat-headed, brainless noble who only knows how to ruin things, which is common in biographical novels.

Everything is stable and improving.

"The terrain of Zhuagu Town is relatively low, and the flooding is still very serious now, gathering a large number of water beasts; it needs to be cleared in time, otherwise it will be troublesome if they scatter later."

At this time, a magic user who was soaked all over rushed over and reported the latest disaster report to Count Roland.

Count Roland only thought for a few seconds and immediately ordered: "Send all the official magic users who are still free; in addition, summon the magic users in the city who are willing to help to go together!"

This news came relatively late, and most of the official magic users in the city had already been sent away by him to perform other disaster relief tasks earlier.

Count Roland knew that there were not enough people, so he immediately decided to summon non-official magic users to help.

Gao De finally heard a task suitable for him to take action; his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward without hesitation and signed up directly.
