*WOOO*

The steam whistles coming from the humongous airships echoed in the sky.

The three wooden airstairs were disconnected from the airships and dropped to the ground as soon as all the wizards completely boarded the boats.

The airships slowly flew away from the platform, leaving a trail of green energy particles behind.

They started moving toward the north of Nola. All the wizards were standing beside the railings without saying a word, looking at their friends and families that were still on the platform.

They just stood there. The only noise Angele could hear was due to the green energy particle flows that helped in propelling the airship upward.

The platform gradually looked smaller as the airship's altitude increased. The people standing on it now looked like countless tiny black dots.

Angele was standing beside the railings as well.

The platform was now the size of his palm in his eyes.

One of the six white signal obelisks was right up ahead that looked like a slim stick that was stabbed into the ground from the boat.

There was a relatively large city called Alava beside the obelisk, with about eight trading towers built around it. From the sky, its entirety looked like a piece of nail. (ED Note: Nailed it.)

The city was surrounded by a sea of vivid trees.

Angele looked to the north and saw the trees there that were covered by white snow.

Frigid gusts of wind blew across his face and the airship he was in had nearly reached the maximum altitude it could sustain.

He turned around and started observing the gondola.

The gondola was connected from below the envelope. It was painted in black and its size was average.

The gondola's appearance looked identical to the ones used by the fish men.

The cabins were built under the deck. Only wizards were allowed to board the airship, as others wouldn't be able to handle the radiation from the strong defensive magic matrix. Mortals, wizard apprentices, and even knights could easily die in the airship.

It was a problem brought by the extremely dense energy particles.

The deck was about 15 meters long and its surface was elastic for some reason.

There were several wizards standing beside him, including the tall slim man. His long sharp ears were eye-catching. He was standing at the right side of Angele.

The man was talking to a young female wizard using energy particles. The female wizard was very polite to him. It seemed like she was just answering the questions that he had asked.

"Three airships. Ten wizards on each airship. You're looking at the captain of our boat, master Baron." A deep male voice came from the left side.

Angele turned to the left quickly.

It was a middle-aged man with a long white beard. The man was about two meters away from him.

The man had a gentle smile on his face. He was wearing a thick white coat with a cloak on the back. His messy brown hair looked like a bird's nest.

"Master Baron?" Angele repeated the name twice. "Is he stubborn? I'm just judging him by the serious expression on his face."

"Stubborn? No, not just stubborn. The man's mind is dead, he won't accept any change." The man shook his head and communicated with Angele using energy particles.
