Chapter 176 - Fly Air
Gustav shrugged his neck while standing on the deck. He was watching the crowd in the port not far before him.
In fact, the weather was not too cold, but the position of the floating ship determined that it needed to float in a high altitude, which was why the temperature was relatively low. But even so, Gustav was still energetic, although his mood wasn’t very good.
Because the trade route had been attacked before, the route toward Deep Stone City was closed for a long period of time, which was very depressing for ship owners. They relied on the ship to live, and now the trade route was closed, it cut off their income. They also didn’t dare sneak out like sea merchants did. It had to be said that the sky was a lot wider than the sea, but the sky was also clean and empty. If anyone saw a ship that broke the rule, the news would definitely spread out by the second day.
The direction of waves and the flow rate was regular in the sea, so there were only a few routes that could be used. If one wanted to use a different route, he wouldn’t be treated like a hero, but rather a fool. When a ship lost wind support, it wouldn’t have the power to continue stay in the sky like an airplane. It would go back to where it belonged.
However, now it was better. The prohibition had been lifted, so they finally regained the opportunity to work again, but for this ship owner, his luck wasn’t that good.
Originally his Fly Air relied on short haul route customers. He was only responsible for flight in the Paphield area and couldn’t be compared to those big merchants. Since the floating ship’s speed was quite fast and it was also relatively safe, his business had always been considered pretty good.
But because the floating ships were attacked, Gustav’s business was obviously harder than before. The merchants who only transported goods might not have cared about this. After all, goods were inanimate objects, different from people. The previous attack still left trauma in their hearts, and they were afraid of encountering similar incidents. Therefore, although the prohibition ban had been lifted, his old guests didn’t come back. After all, they still value their lives, and for them, it was better to wait until the situation was really safe.
That’s why Gustav’s income wasn’t as good as before. Just like last time, there were only 20 guests on his ship. Fortunately, six of them choose the first class cabin. At least it still gave him some profit. If everyone choose economy class, then he would estimately incur losses instead.
While Gustav was shrugging his neck complaining about his bad days in his heart, he saw two people walk toward him.
Thinking until here, Rhode helplessly shook his head and sighed. He couldn’t understand just how this girl could sleep just like that. Before they arrived, he had just pulled her out of bed. In addition, after eating dinner last night, she also immediately went to sleep. She had been asleep for more than ten hours already…
Looking at her now, it seemed like she didn’t get enough sleep.
Seeing Anne who was happily sleeping, Rhode said nothing. He only shrugged and covered her body with his cloak, then sat back down on the sofa to appreciate the scenery outside. Suddenly, Rhode had a very strange feeling. At this moment, he noticed something. Anne, who was asleep, also moved her body, but she didn’t wake up.
What happened?
Rhode frowned, trying to figure out the hunch that flashed by him, but couldn’t figure anything out. There seemed to be nothing strange happening on the floating ship.
Was he just being oversensitive?
Thinking until here, Rhode nodded and sat back to the sofa.
Soon, followed by the slight quake, the scenery before him also shook up, signalling that the floating ship had begun to depart.
He didn’t realise that at this moment, on the ladder not far from him, two figures were walking down. One of them, a girl with a petite-figure, took off her hat and looked at the room not far away from her with excitement.
“Sir Amund, the information you got isn’t wrong right.”
“Of course, Your Highness. Although I don’t know the reason, but I’m sure he’s on this ship.”
“Very well.”
Hearing the white-bearded old man answer, the young girl lightly smiled and covered her mouth. She rolled her eyes and revealed a cunning expression.
“This is our chance, isn’t it?”
