Author's Note: Sorry for the lack of chapter on Friday I wasn't feeling well and here at home I didn't have internet either.

"What do we do now Lancelot?" Gideon asked as they all went through the teleportation portal.

"Go to the heavens." I replied, earning a bunch of doubtful looks.

"What do you mean by that? Only white core mages can fly." Said Gideon, his eyes suddenly widening, "Don't tell me you..."

"No, I haven't reached the white core yet." I replied.

"You said you haven't "yet" reached what you displayed." Iris said sarcastically but with a half smile.

"You know our search will be more efficient if we fly, that's why we're going to use the oldest aerial vehicle in human history, which is the hot air balloon." I replied scratching the back of my head, "With the balloons we'll attack the skies!"

"Wait did you say balloons?" Emily asked as if she was doubting what she had just heard.

"But thanks to the presence of Iris I will have to make some changes in my project." I sighed.

The air is heated to 90°C to be able to lift 500KG the volume of the balloons I had designed is 2000 cubic meters at 1000 meters high at atmospheric temperature and -6.5°C, we run the risk of balloon cloth catch fire at 100°C, with the gusts of air we can reach a minimum height of 1500 meters and for that I had designed a basket of 7.8 meters in diameter that was capable of carrying three people, that is, two balloons were enough but that no longer applies to our current situation.

I took one of the balloons out of my dimensional ring and started making the necessary changes.

"I finished." I spoke more to myself than to others.

The manned flight hot air balloon makes use of a huge "bag" called an envelope, with an opening at the bottom called the mouth or throat. Attached to the envelope is the basket, or gondola, for carrying the passengers. Mounted above the basket and centered with the throat of the envelope is the burner, which produces a heat source or flame, which heats the air inside the envelope.

Hot air balloons today make use of materials such as nylon or polyethylene terephthalate (a polyester). During the manufacturing process, the material is cut into panels and sewn along ribbons, which support and distribute the weight of the basket.

Envelopes often have a piece located in the center of the crown, made of metal or aluminum, approximately 30 centimeters in diameter, which can support some type of weight or simply to help balance the envelope and its ribbons.

"Help me open this." I asked and both gave me a nod of agreement.

"Ohhhh! So this is our flying machine." Nettie said.

"This is bigger than I expected." Kathyln admitted.

"So let's go." Gideon jumped into one of the baskets.

"Wait a minute." She said taking a small balloon out of my dimensional ring. "This deer biss is hydrogen is going to serve as our test balloon."

"How fast is she going up?" Iris said looking at the heavens.

"At that size it must be about 70 meters per minute." I speculated, "I can see all the upwinds, we can fly in this wind, or rather say this is perfect weather for our departure."

"Wait who will fly the other balloon?" Emily asked.

"Good question? Lancelot will pilot one, but it's the other."
