17、journey

　　At Frandy's urging, the pressure cooker joined the luggage. It added another weight to the already heavy luggage.

　　Early the next morning, the four of Frandy's family sent their luggage to the magic airship. Lawrence didn't go to work today, and tomorrow his two children will leave him for years. As a father, there are naturally many exhortations.

　　Frandy and Annie didn't go out to play either, and the family reunited at home for a whole day. Lawrence and Emia carefully sifted through the classmates, teachers, partners, and friends they had met in the imperial capital, and then wrote down their previous contact information on a parchment scroll. to Freddie.

　　The parchment scrolls can be kept much longer than the paper. These are the contacts of the husband and wife in the imperial capital. Although more than ten years have passed, the situation has changed. Don't know if I can still get in touch, but it's always good to do some preparation.

　　...

　　It was finally time to leave. Frandy didn't have any demon meat to eat for breakfast today. Because the pressure cooker for making Warcraft meat has been placed on the magic airship with the luggage. It's rare that Ted and Lilia are also having breakfast in the great dining room today. After the seven friends finished breakfast, they came to the small square with their parents.

　　Residents all over the island came to see them off, and the small square was very lively. Ladies and gentlemen. The uncles and aunts touched the heads of the seven children who were about to travel, and all sent blessings and hope.

　　Even the little fat Vito, who is not very popular at ordinary times. Today, he was not scolded or reprimanded, but encouraged him.

　　The children first got on the magic airship, and then the great magician Algernon led the four great magicians, who also got on the airship together. These four great magicians were all Algernon's experimental assistants and followed Algernon all the time. , can be regarded as his disciple. Usually in Psal Island basically do not show up. She has always been researching magic in the magic tower.

　　Today on Psal Island, as usual, the sky is clear and the sun is shining. In the eyes of everyone, four violent hurricanes were ejected from the bottom of the wall of the magic airship. There was a hint of fire in the wind, and the magic airship slowly lifted into the air.

　　The residents looked up at the magic airship and waved their hands frequently to bid them farewell. The magic airship flew higher and higher until it disappeared from sight.

　　...

　　The magic airship flies very smoothly. It is a pity that there is no glass to see the outside scenery. This made Frandy a little regretful. There was no air movement in the boat, it felt a little stuffy, and the children had just left with their parents. I haven't slowed down yet, and everyone's interest is not high. Sitting on the heavy and soft back chair, not talking much.

　　At this time, the Great Magister Algernon came over from the mechanical room. Seeing that the children were a little dizzy, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Children, you are the future of Psal Island. This time I will go to Oskaya University. , you will meet many new friends and learn a lot of knowledge.

　　It was also the place where your parents used to study. Don't be unhappy, the road in life is long and this is just the first step. Spread your wings and soar like eagles. Don't be held back by a tiny island of Psal. Only when you go out will you realize how vast the world is. "

　　Frandy has an adult heart, which is naturally different from other children. Ted and Lilia have always lived with Algernon. It's just a little uncomfortable to suddenly leave the familiar environment. Anne has Frandy by her side and her psychological support. Only the little fat Vito, Gustav, and the little girl Katrina are the real ones who leave their relatives.

　　"Old man, can we see Dad and Mom? I miss them very much." It was Ted who spoke. He and Lilia's parents were in the capital, and they hadn't seen each other for several years.

　　"Of course, they all serve in the imperial capital. And your grandfather and grandma, you can reunite when you go this time."

　　"Great, I haven't seen grandpa and grandma yet!" Ted clapped his hands happily.

　　"Hahaha." Algernon laughed and said, "It's not that you haven't seen it before, but you were too young to remember at that time."

　　"Have I seen it?" Ted scratched his head, he really didn't remember. "Have you seen Lilia too?"

　　"You were originally born in the imperial capital. You were only three years old when you came to Psal Island, and Lilia was only one year old. Your parents accompanied you for a few years and then went back to the imperial capital. So you have no impression of grandpa and grandma. ' explained Algernon.

　　"Old man, how long will it take to arrive." Hearing that he could see his parents, Ted couldn't wait to go to the imperial capital immediately.

　　"Probably tomorrow morning. It's going to be a day and a night of flying. You little guys, don't be noisy. The four great magicians are going to meditate to drive the airship, and they need to be quiet."

　　"Okay, we're not arguing." The children nodded in agreement.

　　There are twenty seats in the boat, and one of them is a great magician who is responsible for monitoring the work of the machinery in the machinery room. The other three great magicians take turns meditating. to steer the course of the airship. Add Algernon and seven children, and there are still several empty seats. Only two seats were filled with luggage, so it didn't seem crowded.

　　The airship is very stable most of the time, with only occasional bumps. Because he couldn't see the outside, Frandy didn't know how high and how fast the airship flew.

　　The fat little Vito who was sitting behind Frandy poked Frandy with his fingers. He said softly, "Frendi, it's so boring. I want to go out and play."

　　Frandy was speechless. He also whispered back: "We are flying in the sky now, how can we go out and play."

　　The little fat man was startled, stared at his small eyes and said in horror: "We are flying in the sky now? Why don't I know?"

　　"Didn't you see the magic airship flying yesterday? We're sitting in the airship now!"

　　"Then I can fly? I don't feel anything." Vito's eyes widened.

　　Yes, he entered the magic airship directly on the ground, and the airship was completely enclosed. It's normal not to feel like it's flying.

　　"Anyway, you won't be able to get out, so you should just stay honest."

　　"Alas." The little fat man sighed. Tangled: "But it's really boring."

　　"If you're bored, I'll teach you a good way to stop being bored." Frandy said mysteriously with a smile.

　　"What's the best way? Quickly teach me."

　　"Sleep, you won't feel bored when you sleep. Anyway, there is still one day and one night. Don't you like sleeping the most?"

　　The little fat man's eyes lit up. Carefully asked: "I'm sleeping, the Great Magister won't scold me?"

　　He thought it was the same as the classroom.

　　"As long as you don't speak, honestly, Your Excellency the Great Magister will never scold you. You can sleep as hard as you want, as long as you want!" Frandy replied amusingly.

　　"That's great!" Vito, the little fat man who got the good news, was so happy that he closed his eyes immediately.

　　As expected of Vito who is called Pig. It wasn't long before a slight snoring sounded.

　　...

　　This world has 32 hours a day, which is a third more than the earth in the previous life. A magic timer is inlaid on the bulkhead of the magic airship, and the timer is divided into 32 small grids. There is a small flame floating in each small grid.

　　Each small flame represents an hour. When the small flame changes from white to orange, then red, then purple, and finally black, it means that the hour has passed.

　　When the fifteenth small flame turned black, it meant that it was noon outside. The children were hungry except for Vito, who was already asleep. They took out their lunches that had already been prepared for a long time.

　　Children's emotions come and go quickly. By the time lunch was over, the feeling of leaving home for the first time had faded. Began to liven up again. But I remember that Algernon told him not to speak loudly.

　　If you work hard on one thing in a day. It will pass quickly, but if you wait, it will feel longer and longer.

　　I can't go out to play, I can only whisper in the airship. Frandy had a long day with his friends. When the 24th little flame of the magic timer turned black after dinner, everyone was sleepy.

　　There is no bed, so I can only be wronged all night in the seat, but fortunately the back chair is very soft and comfortable. The children are not very tall. I don't think anything is unacceptable.

　　Poor little fat Vito had slept all day, but when it was time to go to bed, he was refreshed and could not fall asleep no matter how much he closed his eyes. And the little friends are already in dreamland. Leaving him alone in pain...

　　Except for Vito, I was speechless all night.

　　When Frandy was about to wake up, the magic airship shook slightly. The great magician Algernon opened his meditative eyes. Announced to everyone: "The imperial capital... has arrived."
