I weave fate in parallel time and space

"Yes, the legendary island of the sky, my uncle named it Adonis."

Nico quietly looked at the painting and murmured softly.

"This is the name of the god of plants in ancient Greek mythology, based on the big tree on this island.

According to my uncle's deduction, the reason why the island can fly should be because of this tree.

All the land is bound to the sky by the huge root system of this tree.

He searched a lot of information, but he couldn't find the origin of this tree. It should be a tree species that was extinct a long time ago. "

"Your uncle?" Nauda asked curiously.

"My uncle was the first to discover this island," said Nico, "he was the greatest engineer and the greatest adventurer in the world.

About five years ago, he took control of an airship across the Atlantic to Britannia.

However, there was a heavy rainstorm, and the airbag of the airship leaked in many places. He braved the wind and rain to repair the airbag at an altitude of a thousand meters.

Then, he passed through the dark clouds, the sun swayed down from the sky, and the island appeared in front of him through the clouds.

My uncle captured this photo with his camera.

He originally wanted to land, but unfortunately the state of the airship was very wrong at that time, and he could no longer lift off.

After he came back, he told everyone he knew about Sky Island.

There is a photograph, and many people believe it exists.

There are even many unidentified messages circulating from nowhere.

Some people say that it is the residence of the gods, the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve once lived.

Some people say that it is the remains of an ancient lost civilization, and there is huge wealth and money in it.

As a result, during that time, there was an upsurge in exploring the sky throughout Croatia and even several surrounding countries.

Airships can often be seen wandering in the sky. "

After recalling it for a while, Nauda nodded and said, "I seem to have some impressions, but isn't that a scam?"

"Yeah." Nico said with deep eyes, "The heat has lasted for a whole year, and people feel that they have searched the entire sky, but they still haven't seen any trace of that huge island.

Rumors also circulated that my uncle worked for an airship manufacturing company.

So some people thought it was a rumor deliberately created by my uncle in order to sell empty boats.

And the so-called photos were only drawn by highly skilled realistic painters.

For a while, my uncle became the target of public criticism, and countless rumors engulfed him.

So within a few years, he died depressed on his own empty boat. "

"So, you trust your uncle?" Naouda said.

"He never lied." Nico turned to look at Nauda, ​​his eyes sparkled brightly, "I will definitely find Sky Island and reveal its secrets to the public, so as to cleanse my uncle of his reputation."

Nasida turned his head and looked at the aircraft-like thing on the side, "So, this is the aircraft you prepared?"

"Of course, don't look at it as small, but if my design is successful, it can fly to an altitude of thousands of meters." Nico said confidently.

After a pause, he said, "Now he only needs a heart and an advanced engine, which is not something I can make by myself."

Nawuda looked to the other side. There should be a prototype of an engine, covered with oil stains, and the ground is also covered with engine oil, exuding a strong smell of engine oil.

"You want to make your own engine?" she asked.

"I've been saving up some parts."

Nico dumped the contents of the bag he brought up on the side table, which were some engine parts stained with oil.

"There is an airship factory nearby, and some useless parts are often thrown out."

He took those parts and came to the engine, carefully looked at the semi-finished engine, and heaved a sigh of relief.

"It's a good thing they didn't destroy the engine."

Then I picked up the wrench and started assembling those parts and debugging.

After a while, he got up and walked towards the fireplace, took the kettle out of the fireplace with tongs, and put it on the table beside it.

Then he took two more cups from the cupboard, grabbed the hot handle with a rag, and poured the yellowed tea into the two cups.

The cup was steaming hot.

He handed one of them to Nawuda, "Pine needle tea is good for your health, drink it when it's cold."

Nauda nodded, and placed the teacup by his side. He looked at Nico and asked curiously.

"How old are you?"

"Sixteen after my birthday," Nico replied.

"A lot of people don't necessarily know how the airship flies." Nawuda said, "You can make the engine by yourself."

"It's not fabrication, it's patchwork." Nico emphasized, "The technology already exists, and the materials are also ready-made."

"That's great too," Naouda said.

He pointed to the hammock on one side, "You can sleep here tonight, and I will take you to the police station to report the case tomorrow morning."

Nawuda came down the mountain in silence. She obviously had something on her mind, but she didn't say anything.

But Nico obviously didn't care about these, he directly took the tools and started debugging his own engine.

Having nothing to say all night, Nico was completely immersed in his own world, simulating and experimenting with the final state of the engine in his mind, and he didn't even respond to Nauda's attempt to talk to him.

The angry Nawuda lay directly on the hammock on one side and stopped talking to him.

He also didn't sleep all night, until the sunrise slowly rose from the distant mountain, he got up and stretched lazily.

Once he was immersed in the mechanical world, he would forget the time. He had stayed up many nights like this, but his spirit was not sluggish because of staying up late.

He turned his head and looked at the hammock on one side. Nawuda was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed. She seemed to be having some kind of nightmare. Her head was covered with sweat, her expression was painful, and she was hugging the quilt tightly.

"Nauda!" Nico yelled.

Nawuda suddenly opened his eyes and got up, his eyes were full of horror, but after seeing clearly where he was now, the memory of last night gradually emerged.

She panted heavily and calmed down for a while.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Nico said.

"Almost." Nawuda clutched his forehead wearily, looking like he hadn't recovered yet.

"Or go to the police station earlier." He said, "the door should be open by now."

"The police can't solve my case." Nauda murmured softly.

She got down from the hammock, "Thank you for taking me in for the night. You are a good man, Nico. I hope you can find Sky Island soon and clear your uncle's name."

Nico was silent for a moment, "Thank you, you are one of the few people who believe what I said."

Suddenly, he seemed to have heard something, and quickly walked to the window and looked out. Jerry, who left yesterday, was rushing here with the group of men in black.

His complexion changed, and he looked at Nawuda.

"They're back again." (End of this chapter)
