Chapter 1885: Paratrooper One, Ready To Go!
"What?"
Amy's eyes widened even more.
On the other hand, Irina narrowed her eyes slightly. A dangerous gleam flickered in her eyes.
Mag's eyelids twitched. He suddenly felt a little nervous?
He naturally wouldn't reject such a romantic thing like falling in love again.
However, this involved a question of who took the initiative.
Of course, given his confession that day… He, who had made the first move, was already at a disadvantage.
However, in front of Amy and Annie, he needed to maintain his pride as the master of the family. At the very least, he couldn't behave like a lovesick fool…
Mag, who could feel a coldness lingering around his neck, quickly smiled, and said, "However, a cool and aloof owner falling in love with a beautiful innocent young maiden isn't unheard of, either, right?"
Irina had already taken out a folding chair, and smilingly asked, "So, who is the beautiful innocent young maiden you are talking about?"
"Could it be that pretty orc big sister who came to eat a few days ago?" Amy made an attempt to ask.
"Yes. That one." Mag quickly caught that. He was thankful to Amy for throwing him that lifeline. Otherwise, he didn't know if he could withstand that chair when it struck him.
Mag smiled at Irina, "I think we still have a chance."
"Really? I'm not so sure about that now." Irina declined to comment.
"It's fine, Mother. I will help you keep an eye on Father, and not let the other ladies have any chances," Amy said righteously, and turned to wink at Mag.
Mag knew the little one most probably didn't know that pretty orc big sister was Irina, so he could only play along with her and nod.
Annie was watching with a smile at the side, and rubbing Ugly Duckling's tummy the whole time.
The breeze was blowing gently, and the sun was shining bright. Mag tied a hammock under the tree's shade.
While everyone was having a nap, Mag roasted a big fish for Ah Zi—which wasn't full yet, and hadn't had a good meal in a long time—to enjoy itself.
Amy had a short nap, and then ran to Mag, who was fishing at the lake when she woke up, and asked, "Are we just going to spend the whole day playing on this island today?"
Mag removed the fish from the hook, and tossed it back into the lake. He kept his fishing tools, and at the same time replied, "Your mother will decide the rest of the itinerary."
Irina stretched herself lazily, and smilingly said, "Let's go. I will bring you all to an interesting place."
"What place is it?" Amy ran up to her, full of curiosity.
"A mysterious cave." Irina held Annie's hand, and gently landed on Ah Zi's back.
"I like caves." Amy jumped up too. She kicked Ugly Duckling off in mid air accidentally when she turned around.
"Meow, meow?"
Ugly Duckling looked up with question marks after rolling two rounds on the sand.
Mag, who had kept his fishing tools, picked Ugly Duckling up, and shook the sand off its face. He smilingly asked, "Don't you know how to fly?"
Ugly Duckling shook its shoulders hard, but it didn't take off. It gave up immediately, and chose to let Mag carry it.
"Let's go, Ah Zi. Fly towards the southwest, and land in a place approximately 800 km away," Irina ordered Ah Zi.
"Howl!"
Ah Zi, who was full from a good meal, let out a hearty roar, and flew towards the southwest.
Islands that were hovering in the sky began to appear in their line of vision.
The Isle of Skye was also known as Dragon Island.
Apparently, the giant dragons were born on the Isle of Skye, so it was deemed as a holy land by the giant dragons.
They could see giant dragons flying across the sky like little black dots occasionally. Ah Zi concealed its presence, and glided close to the ground, trying its best to avoid attracting the giant dragons' attention.
"This is the forest. That is the river. The mountains are connected all the way across. There could be mountains or sea behind this mountain range…" Mag explained some of the natural landscape to Annie with a smile.
Everything was new and interesting to Annie. They were sceneries that she couldn't see in Chaos City.
After flying for a short while, Ah Zi landed in a narrow river valley.
The cliffs at both sides were steep. The fast-flowing river slammed into the cliffs, making big splashes.
The cliffs got steeper as they got closer to the river. Ah Zi already decelerated, and hovered at the height of 100 meters.
The valley quickly narrowed as they flew forward. Finally, the cliffs met, and a black cave that was a few meters tall was left.
The fast-flowing river gushed into the cave and disappeared.
Amy looked at that dark cave, and asked puzzledly, "Father, what are we doing here?"
"That cave is our next destination," Mag said with a smile. He bought a sturdy canoe and a set of parachutes from the system.
"Let's go. Amy, you will fly on your own, while I bring Annie and your mother down." Mag kicked the canoe down, and then grabbed Annie and Irina. He gravely said, "Paratrooper One, ready to go!" Then, he leaped forward.
Skydiving was one of Mag's few hobbies in the past, and his control now was even incomparable. He landed on the canoe that was drifting with the flow accurately.
Mag released the parachute, and let it fly away with the wind before saying excitedly, "Perfect landing!"
Amy flew next to the canoe. One of her feet was on Ugly Duckling's back as she praised, "Father is awesome. You jumped down from the sky with just a piece of cloth!"
Annie was also looking at Mag with admiration.
Mag curled his lips slightly with a tinge of smugness. That was the effect he wanted to achieve.
"Although we flew down in such a strange way, it's… almost the same if we jumped down directly, right?" Irina frowned.
"Although it looks similar, it's actually very different. According to the Law of Free Fall, with our mass and density, if we fall from 100-odd meters in a parabola and land on the canoe accurately, we will smash through it, and not land on it gracefully."
"What law?" Irina looked at Mag with a frown before teleporting with him between Ah Zi's back and the canoe thrice.
"See, we didn't smash through the canoe." Irina shrugged.
"It's alright. I will get someone to make sure Galileo's coffin is sealed tightly." Mag nodded with a complicated expression.
"There's no need to. Ask him to come look for me if he is not convinced," Irina said frankly.
"It should be he who should be afraid…"
The fast-flowing river pushed the canoe forward quickly. This sensation of floating on top of the waves didn't make people feel safe at all.
"Alright, children. Let's sit down on your seats first. The children will take the front row, while we take the back row. No matter what you see in the cave later, do not leave your seats or remove your safety ropes. This is to ensure our safety." Mag buckled the two children in the front seats, and secured Ugly Duckling in between them, while Irina and he sat behind the children.
