Chapter 101: Floating Ship [Extended! Read On!!]

These are two girls wearing black magical robes, one older and one younger, who look somewhat alike and are clearly sisters.

However, the sisters' magical robes are slightly unbuttoned now, making them look a bit messy.

Their chests are fair and full, faintly showing a hint of rosy pink, looking very delicate.

Looking at the charming girl kneeling on the ground and serving earnestly, Fulade cannot help feeling a slight sigh.

Back then they were merely two of Solomon's pieces used for intimidation and coercion; now they have unexpectedly appeared before Fulade.

One must admit the marvel of fate.

Three years have passed, and the sisters have grown from their initial ignorance into intermediate magic apprentices.

They have also displayed extraordinary alchemical talent and a talent for crafting weapon systems.

Of course, this is because resources have been tilted toward them; otherwise, even with great talent, they could not have reached this level in just three years.

And the reason is that, as Solomon's daughters, their father's contributions naturally benefit his children.

This is also why Solomon is willing to die for it, as he sees tangible benefits.

However, the uninformed sisters would not think that way about this secret.

They both believe that Fulade has consciously given them special care.

After all, the sisters could enter the Magic Academy because Fulade personally extended the invitation.

Moreover, when their father led them to evade the pursuit of an unknown force, it was Fulade who arranged for them to be rescued and got their father out of danger.

It can be said that the sisters have long been preoccupied with Fulade, having imagined him countless times.

But as time passed, their thoughts shifted from initial gratitude to a mutual attraction.

For this inaugural trial of the Floating Ship, the sisters, as participants in its construction, also prominently joined the test flight.

Thus, seizing the opportunity, the sisters conspired, bared their silver teeth, and set out to tempt Fulade.

She gently stroked the sisters' soft, disheveled hair, casually pointing out how the two novices should peck at each other.

Fulade, who possesses telepathic talent, naturally sees through the girls' slight thoughts inside and out.

He naturally will not let go of the two little treats that came to him.

Moreover, they are his faithful believers.

Such devotion is rare among Magicians who cherish truth and knowledge.

Looking at the thick white mist drifting outside the cabin, Fulade knows it is not mist but the sky's cloud layer.

At this moment, ten thousand meters above, a hundred-zhang steel behemoth sails northwest at a speed of one hundred kilometers per hour.

On the black steel hull, complex magical runes flicker, and a faint energy shield repels the gale from above.

This is a miracle never seen in the Dark World since ancient times.

The reason is that Sky Island Gantuva yields abundant levitating ore veins.

And the reason Sky Island can float is also because the island is composed of massive levitating ore veins.

Since this discovery, the plan to develop the Floating Ship has been put on the schedule.

They all agree that the emergence of the Floating Ship will certainly change the future development trajectory of the Dark World.

At the same time, this will serve as a milestone for the advancement of magical technology.

Two years later, the first prototype Floating Ship was officially completed.

Fulade is the witness of this flight.

Although the speed is not particularly fast, compared with the era's transportation and conditions, it is quite remarkable.

The appearance of the Floating Ship will also alter the future course of war.

Thinking about these matters, Fulade feels a tingling numbness on his scalp and his body stiffens.

Seeing the two sisters with dazed, bewildered expressions, Fulade says softly:

"Well done, go to the bathroom and freshen up; I'll come find you later." Hearing Fulade's gentle words, the sisters, whose faces now bore an unknown object, shyly exchange a glance and head toward the cabin's bathroom.

"Technology changes the future; what technology can achieve, magic—of course—can too."

Through the cabin's magical glass, watching the mountains, rivers, and occasional towns flash below, Fulade's ambition suddenly rises, prompting an exclamation:

"I am both a witness of this age and its creator!"

"Respect, great one."

Raising a goblet toward the faint silhouettes in the magical glass, he lets out a hearty laugh.

It is both self‑mockery and nostalgia, but mostly excitement.

Setting the goblet down, shedding his clothes, and brimming with visions of the future, he strides toward the bathroom.

As the strong vibration at the bathroom door fades away.

The Floating Ship also reaches the destination of this test flight.

Jianjiaocun, within the nearby dense forest.

Two figures descend from the sky, a man and a woman; the man is tall and handsome, with slightly wavy black hair that adds a touch of elegance and softness.

It is undoubtedly Fulade.

The woman has golden hair tied into two cute ponytails, a petite frame about 1.6 m tall, looking very cute.

Only the voluptuousness that threatens to burst through her torn clothing, against her petite figure, is extremely eye‑catching.

It is Annie, who has a childlike face and a large bust.

For two years, wherever Fulade goes, Annie has always followed behind.

At first, Fulade was troubled, but after learning about Annie's past, he decided not to intervene.

Since then, aside from private time, Annie is practically inseparable.

During meetings, she stands guard outside.

When handling state affairs, she pours tea and water beside him.

Although it was clumsy at first and also seemed to be stealing work, after the personal maid Sonia understood Annie's situation, the two instead became good friends.

This is also Annie's first friend.

In short, wherever Fulade goes, Annie will follow.

After two years, Fulade also adapted.

Gazing at the sky, only a sparrow-sized Floating Ship remained, gradually disappearing from view; Fulade nodded satisfied.

This is the illusion Magic Array of the Floating Ship, currently operating.

"Brother, what are we doing here?" Annie blinked her pitch-black big eyes, lacking liveliness, instead giving a dazed impression.

"There's an old acquaintance here, so I came to take a look." Fulade said casually.

At this moment in Jianjiaocun, cooking smoke curled, it was mealtime.

A woman in a light-blue dress, graceful and fair-skinned, was carrying a food box toward the forest.

Under her golden, soft long hair lay a pair of big, doe-like eyes; she was undoubtedly the little red‑riding‑hood Wailali, now grown into a maiden.

But for some reason, she now looks somewhat worried.

As Fulade extended his mental power, far away, Fulade saw Wailali.

But Fulade did not go forward to seek her; instead he went straight to Wailali's home.

"Luxi died!?"

This was the first thing Fulade said upon seeing Weiliya.
