Chapter 1783 The Great Experience!
Sitting in the chopper, Tacho felt his entire body tremble uncontrobly the moment Lift-off began. ''What is going on? Is this normal? And why does my body suddenly feel 10 times heavier?'' Tacho''s brain was scrambling for answers but his body was quick to grip his armrest as tight as he could. Help… Mommy… Are they truly going to be alright? "My Ruler, my Ruler… are you alright?"
"I''m fine, Olibang. It''s just very shocking, isn''t it?"
Looking at one of his most trusted generals beside him, Tacho also found the guy''s eyes darting around maniacally with worry in his eyes. But there was another feeling hidden in his eyes - Excitement! Yes. That was it. Tacho also realized he too had a weird mix of anxiety and excitement flooding his brain. Flying! Flying!... They were flying, something he would have never imagined possible for Mankind to do! You don''t understand. This fact alone was enough to make his box-bound mind explode, with him now imagining how far mankind could truly go. Yes. Now, he wasn''t just thinking inside a box, but outside. If man can fly, can they also swim for longer times underwater? The Baymardians magazines and booklets he spotted earlier, gave him an impression that man had already built faster and morefortable carriages in the outside world. Staring outside through the window, Tacho couldn''t describe the emotions brooding within him. But more importantly, why did his weight feel so heavy? What was the phenomenon behind it? Why did he feel an invisible force pulling him down the higher they flew? Like so, without even knowing about Gravity, Tacho and several others had already discovered the strange force dragging them down. However, they soon realized that after the aircrafts reached certain heights in the air, the force seemed to fade away, with their bodies stabilizing as though it was all their imagination. How odd…
Everyone felt it odd but didn''t have too much time to think of it when seeing how fast these aircrafts were going. Wow!
Tacho looked at his magnificent city below, which was now beautifully brightly lit with torches. Yes… There might be little to no torches ced along the streets, but the people living in the city had torches within their estates and homes brightly lit up. On the streets, several people also moved with ming torches in hand, and on the many estate walls, barracks and political buildings, torches were also little scene too. Beautiful. Tacho looked at the Capital city with pride swelling in his chest. It was also amazing how every ming torch looked like starry dots from where they flew. "My Ruler, my Ruler, may I see?" Olibang was growing impatient, a little jealous that Tacho got the window seat. F***! Who likes this side seat? Olibang swore that if he should ever take a flying aircraft in his life, he would never take his inner seat, only choosing a window seat! Dammit. Olibang nearly bit his fingernails from jealousy, though he tried desperately to hide it. Of course, he had no ill intentions but was truly happy for his monarch and sad for himself who didn''t have a window seat. Well, his jealousy was all because of Tacho who kept eximing in awe and gasping every second, making him more and more anxious to see what it was, Tacho was seeing. Landon, as if knowing his concerns, was quick to pass on a message. --[Dear passengers, please note that The seatbelt sign is off.]--
Yes!!! Olibang''s eyes shone like stars when recalling Landon''s earlier words before takeoff. If the seatbelt sign is off they are allowed to stand and even walk about right? Sure, there was no ce to walk to in the chopper, except the bathroom, but so what? Walking and standing give one a good stretch if not used to the flight. Unlike the other aircrafts, Landon''s aircraft was designed for picking up guests, so it had a toilet and even some fixtures you could find in amercial flight like seatbelt signs, and whatnot. Although the chopper was a 7-seater, it was well-spaced and slightly luxurious, with foldable eating trays and thick armrest dividers too. The chopper was a 7-seater, which included the 2 pilot seats at the front. This meant there were 5 guest seats at the back. Tacho and Olibang sat in the first 2 seats, with a window to their left and a narrow pathway followed by the chopper door to their right. And behind them were two identical seats taken by 3 Baymardian soldiers, upying the entire back. Bear in mind that because people like the Giants exist in this world, the standard spaces between seat rows in this world were akin to standard business-ss seats in Landon''s former world. So imagine how much legroom Landon''s VIP chopper had for the duo? What''s more, because people like the Giants exist, the seats were also made bigger than what Earth''s seats were used to. .
Hahahahahah~ Olibang didn''t waste time standing, cing one knee on his seat while leaving forward to see what his majesty Tacho had been eximing about. "Wow!" Olibang eximed with excitement. "Ruler! That''s the Mayfest Garden! And beside it must be the grand Mayfest Bridge!" "Ruler, do you think I should be able to see my house from here?" "Wow! Ruler, the pce looked too beautiful from up here. It almost looks mythical." Tacho nodded pridefully, "Hmm… it''s the most enticing structure from a bird''s view." Hey… no wonder many birds like dropping poop on it when flying high. Hmph! They must have been trying to dampen the pce''s beauty since it was so mesmerizing this far up. (^_^)
Indeed, what Tacho and Olibang said wasn''t a lie. Looking out the window, Landon was also amazed by how beautifully lit the Pce was. It was like seeing a mythical enchanted castle that probably held a dragon and a captured princess within. The colorful vines that covered some parts, still showed their colors when lit up around the ming torches. But seeing as they were getting closer and closer to their destination Landon quickly turned on the seatbelt sign, allowing Olibang to take his seat once more. And to ensure he was safely buckled, one of the Baymardians stood to assist.
