Chapter 823: The Caravan Descending from the Sky!

Arthur's mood at this moment was apprehensive.

Actually it wasn't just him.

Even the rest of the people had the same mood.

After all, for them, it was their first time 'flying in the sky'.

So this kind of experience they might not be able to experience in their whole life made everyone fearful but also full of a sense of novelty.

Especially Arthur and the few earth element mages.

As mages, they naturally knew it was the effect of magic that made them fly.

But they weren't clear on exactly how it was operated or what the principle was.

Even because they couldn't feel their own body weight.

To be honest, flying in the air to properly experience it was fine.

But like this now wasn't what they wanted.

Nonsense.

This was flying in the air.

Besides a very small number of flying magic tools, no one could do it.

But this Miss Lan Qingyou who could throw Meteorites did it.

Originally they still thought she was just relying on magic tools, but now it seemed they were naive.

But then again.

Since it was accomplished relying on magic, then there must be things they could learn.

That's why they were so annoyed.

Annoyed that under the circumstance of a poor experience, wanting to learn was fundamentally impossible.

It felt like begging for food while guarding a mountain of gold, wanting to cry but having no tears.

Of course, they weren't the only ones making a fool of themselves.

Because it was their first time encountering these things, the coachmen using the thrusters under the circumstance of zero gravity also caused a bit of a joke.

For example, directly shooting out like that.

But fortunately the thrusters didn't have many buttons to begin with.

Only needing a little familiarity, these coachmen grasped the knack of it.

Thus, above the original Wailing Marsh appeared the peculiar scene of a bunch of carriages flying.

To be honest.

Flying in the sky to travel was a very exhilarating thing.

At the same time, because of the fast speed, the journey also shortened quite a bit.

It's just that maybe exactly because of this.

They came out of the Wailing Marsh, which originally took over ten hours to walk out of, in just a few hours.

Even because the speed was too fast, by the evening of that day they had almost arrived at Kumquat Town, which was closest to the southern part of the Wailing Marsh.

So Lan Qingyou thought to simply fly a bit longer and go directly to the town to stay overnight.

Wouldn't it be beautiful to arrive directly at the Imperial Capital tomorrow?

However, just as Lan Qingyou was thinking this, she saw a group of about two thousand cavalrymen on the ground heading north.

"That is... the Flamingo Knights!"

Arthur, who was sitting on Lan Qingyou's carriage with the coachman acting as a guide, immediately recognized who that group of cavalry was.

"What, Fatty, you recognize them?"

"How could I not recognize them, this is a top ten Knight Order in the entire Empire."

Arthur nodded.

Actually, one only needed to look at the shield crests on these cavalrymen's capes to know who they were.

It was just that because Lan Qingyou and Elisa were Mountain Dwellers.

So they just didn't know.

Arthur answered himself like this in his heart.

"A top ten Knight Order huh, it looks like they seem very hurried."

"Barring accidents they should be going to investigate the Wailing Marsh and the matter of yesterday's Meteorites right."

Arthur laughed involuntarily and shook his head.

"Since it's like this, then let's go down and greet them."

Seeing it was very likely they came because of yesterday evening's matter, Lan Qingyou directly descended.

No matter what, the matter over there was brought about single-handedly by herself.

Now since the investigating people had arrived.

Then naturally they had to meet.

Of course, the most important thing was that she actually also needed manpower to do some things.

Now that this top ten Knight Order in the entire Empire appeared, wasn't it just perfectly suitable?

It's a waste not to use them.

And on the ground.

Not knowing that they had already been spotted, the members of the Knight Order were still desperately running towards the direction of the Wailing Marsh.

They had already been like this for a day and a night.

From when they left the Imperial Capital last night until now, they had always been running at such high intensity.

If they didn't have the two-horned horses, mutants among the horned horses, as mounts, they fundamentally couldn't support this intensity of marching.

"Lord Nicolas, can you still hold on."

On horseback, the Commander of the Flamingo Knights, Horn, jokingly asked Nicolas.

After all, in everyone's impression Alchemists were a group of people who did research and made potions day and night in workshops without seeing the light of day.

Having weak bodies was a very normal thing.

So even if this person in front of them was a Title Holder.

But such a high-intensity march, he didn't know if he could endure it.

So it's never wrong to show a little care.

Even if the two weren't in the same system and fundamentally didn't need to build a good relationship.

"Still fine, can hold on."

Nicolas, who was being cared for, gritted his teeth and replied.

At this moment his face was already livid, looking like he somewhat couldn't endure it anymore.

But no matter what, at this kind of time he must grit his teeth and hold on.

In his view, yesterday's meteor shower might be able to inspire his research.

So whether it was to satisfy his curiosity or for his own research project, he had to rush over as soon as possible.

However...

Just when everyone was working hard, the scene before their eyes suddenly darkened.

Although it was already evening now.

But it wasn't dark yet.

The most important thing was that even if it got dark, it couldn't suddenly turn black all at once.

So everyone raised their heads wanting to see what was going on.

Not looking they wouldn't know, but upon looking they jumped in fright.

They saw in the orange-red sky, carriages descending from the sky one after another, exactly blocking their light...

"This..."

"What's the situation!?"

"There are actually carriages that can fly in the sky?"

"Wait! Look at the carriage at the very front, isn't that the third son of Count Sierra's family?"

"Right right right, I remember he's being a merchant right, this... could this be his caravan?"

"Form up! Protect Lord Nicolas!"

Just when the Knight Order members were all feeling shocked by this peculiar phenomenon and seeing an acquaintance, Knight Commander Horn was firmly executing his duty.

To him, whatever research, whatever Meteorites were not important.

What was important was protecting Nicolas, this Title Holder, well.

After all, this was a strict order from the Emperor.

If he failed to protect the other party well, never mind about punishment or not.

Just the matter of losing face was enough to make the entire Flamingo Knights become a joke in the entire Empire and disband on the spot.

He, Horn, couldn't afford to lose this face.

As for saying the other party was an acquaintance...

As a person who climbed up from the bottom, Horn was very clear that many crimes were committed by acquaintances.

So, he had to be on guard.

After Horn shouted out this sentence, those Knight Order members who were originally still discussing immediately formed up like a conditioned reflex to protect Nicolas in the middle.

And the string of carriages in the air that made them act as if facing a formidable enemy successfully landed from the air in front of them during this time.

The one in the lead was naturally the luxurious carriage with the Viscount's family crest that Lan Qingyou and the others were sitting in...
