Chapter 102. Dekan, Invincible from Zero to a Hundred Kilometers
Dekan reached out and pressed the magic airship’s control stick, attempting to push it into mid-air.
This was the simplest operation.
But it was also the most effective method.
At least for now, he needed to keep the magic airship in an ascending state.
Dekan needed the magic airship to stay in the air for a little longer.
Even if it was just for a dozen seconds, he would have a chance to master the magic airship’s piloting skills.
An ordinary person might not be able to get the hang of piloting a magic airship so quickly.
But Dekan was different.
Whether it was mechanics or magic engineering, he had a unique understanding.
He had watched this pilot operate it for a while just now.
Dekan also had a rough impression of the commonly used operations.
Compared to the complex controls of an airplane, flying a magic airship felt more like driving a car.
The control method was, to a certain extent, similar to a manual transmission car.
After all, being driven by wind magic, there wasn't that much difference between being in the air and on the ground.
“Simple.”
A confident arc formed at the corner of Dekan’s mouth.
He felt like he already knew how to fly it.
It was a walk in the park.
Subsequently, after a brief experiment.
Dekan mastered how to operate the wind magic airship.
He gradually brought the magic airship under stable control.
Right now, the passengers in the cabin probably wouldn't even notice that the pilot had changed.
Dekan tilted his head slightly, sparing a glance at the pilot lying on the floor, dead drunk.
“Sigh, am I here to travel or to do volunteer work.”
Dekan sighed helplessly.
He couldn’t count on this bastard.
Even if he sobered up, he couldn’t be allowed to fly again.
Dekan had no choice but to do some volunteer labor.
What does it mean to be an outstanding citizen of the Norton Kingdom?
Defeating hijackers and rescuing hostages, and now having to help fly the airship.
Dekan thought that after he returned to the Royal Capital, the king should at least give him a commendation.
“Well, I don’t know if the Resurrection Church has any more tricks up their sleeve. Anyway, the best strategy now is to get to a safe place as soon as possible.”
Dekan always felt that the Resurrection Church’s plan this time was not that simple.
Since the intelligence his informant Urola gave him clearly mentioned the Tristine Magic Academy.
That meant the Resurrection Church’s mission objective was very likely related to this academy.
Hijacking Dekan was likely just one part of the whole plan.
But logically speaking, the Resurrection Church couldn't stir up much trouble under the sun.
The only thing Dekan was wary of was the Resurrection Church not playing by the rules and just cheating, flipping the whole board.
Although Dekan had rich experience in fighting above his rank.
But if the rank gap was too large, and he was unprepared, Dekan would still have a headache.
“Buzz buzz…”
Dekan picked up the broadcast device.
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard Happy Airlines flight T11557. To bring you a safe, tense, and exciting flight experience, please fasten your seatbelts and take care of the elderly, children, and passengers who need help around you.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard Happy Airlines…”
Although the last part was useless, out of professional habit, Dekan still recited it.
After speaking, Dekan cut off the broadcast and put down the microphone.
The moment he gripped the steering wheel with both hands again, his eyes became focused.
His hand movements were swift yet firm.
Dekan’s personal driving style had always been “from zero to a hundred kilometers, who dares to be my enemy.”
Thus, under Dekan’s control, the magic airship began to accelerate at an unprecedented rate.
“Oops, wrong route.”
Dekan suddenly realized that although he could fly the magic airship smoothly, after a small incident earlier, the direction had completely deviated from the target route under the control of the drunken pilot.
He had to adjust the direction of travel first.
A normal person.
At this time would definitely choose to slow down and adjust the direction.
But not Dekan.
He was going to drift.
Dekan’s series of operations was as smooth as flowing water. The entire wind magic airship began to drift sideways, drawing a miraculous arc in the sky.
“Awooo…”
The pilot, who had been passed out drunk on the ground, was suddenly jolted awake.
“Stop, stop…”
He just wanted Dekan to stop this absurd maneuver.
Even though he, in his drunken state, had no right to command Dekan who was saving the day for him.
But he knew, you don’t fly a magic airship like this!
“What? Not fast enough?!”
Dekan gripped the control stick, directly shifted to the highest gear, and then floored the throttle.
At this moment.
The pilot felt like he had become light.
He flew up.
And was then slammed against the wall in the cockpit like a pinball.
As Dekan accelerated and drifted, the chaotic passenger cabin suddenly quieted down a lot.
Followed by even more chaotic screams.
Many passengers were forcibly woken up.
They felt like their hearts were about to jump out of their chests!
Mi’e gripped her seatbelt tightly. Although her expression looked calm, the blood vessels near her temples were twitching slightly.
Obviously, she too was having a hard time with Dekan’s violent acceleration.
And Iris beside her.
Even though Mi’e had helped Iris fasten her seatbelt early on, Iris was still sent spinning by Dekan’s maneuver.
“Mi’e, save me…”
She reached out, fumbling, trying to grab Mi’e’s hand, only to find that she couldn’t find the target direction at all.
“Wuwu… let me off, I’m never riding a magic airship again.”
Iris cried out helplessly.
…
Dekan thought for a moment and felt that the passengers should now have a sense of safety awareness.
Those who needed to be awake were now awake.
It was time to give them some time to sit properly and fasten their seatbelts.
This way, he could accelerate with peace of mind.
So Dekan pulled the control lever, slowed down, and picked up the microphone again.
“Buzz buzz.”
“Attention passengers, you will now have one minute to fasten your seatbelts. In one minute, we will proceed at full speed to the magic city of Tristine. Thank you for your cooperation.”
Dekan’s friendly voice once again reached the passenger cabin.
While maintaining a slow speed, he tapped on the steering wheel.
In a moment, the real speed and passion would begin.
At that time.
He would never slow down again until he reached the destination.
“Ugh!”
The pilot clutched his head, struggling to crawl on the ground a little closer to Dekan.
He had been forcibly sobered up quite a bit by Dekan’s series of maneuvers.
“You, you can’t keep flying like this!”
The pilot strongly condemned Dekan’s driving style.
“What are you talking about?”
Dekan turned his head and looked at the pilot with considerable confusion.
Afterward, Dekan no longer paid attention to the pilot, just turned his head again to look at the empty road ahead.
“You were the one flying the whole way. You were so drunk and delirious that you actually imagined a student was helping you fly the ship.”
Dekan said as if talking to himself.
