Chapter 413 The Battle of the Islands
  The airship followed the Explorers Association's airship to lower its altitude. When it approached the capital of the Thorn Islands, Xiaobai muttered: "Strange, is this really a settlement of dwarves? Shouldn't there be that kind of 'ah oh oh' thing" ?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of red flames exploded in the block below the airship, and a dwarf flew into the sky dragging its tail: "Ah oh oh oh!"

Xiaobai: "Okay, it's okay. This is indeed the place for dwarfs."

Gaines protested: "This is prejudice! Not all of us dwarfs are like this. There are also some who like to write poetry, like me."

Xiaobai: "You don't know how to say 'oh oh oh'?"

Gaines: "I won't."

Just as he finished speaking, there was another explosion in the distant neighborhood, and a new dwarf flew into the sky dragging smoke.

The first flying dwarf opened his parachute and fell with the wind. When the airship of the rescue team happened to pass by, the dwarf took off his hat and saluted: "Oh, what a beautiful lady!"

Elizabeth was shocked: "Am I actually very good-looking in the dwarf's aesthetic sense?"

Gaines: "No, no, he's talking about the little one."

Xiaobai: "Me?"

Gaines: "Of course, but one thing about you is that you don't have the smell of engine oil. If you spray a little engine oil perfume, you can kill most dwarfs."

Elizabeth frowned: "Motor oil...perfume?"

Gaines: "Yes. Besides, your cheeks are too smooth. We dwarfs like them wrinkled. This can be solved by soaking. Human skin will become wrinkled after being soaked for a long time."

Xiaobai touched his face and shook his head like a rattle: "Porulu! No!"

When she shakes her head, her chubby cheeks will make a purring sound, which is quite cute.

Wang couldn't help pinching Xiaobai's cheek: "Are you fat?"

Xiaobai: "This is the fat stored in case of famine! Let go!"

Just as he was talking, the captain stuck his head out of the wheelhouse in front: "We are about to land, and ahead is the Federation of Explorers!"

Everyone hurriedly looked ahead and saw a huge globe appearing in front of them.

Wang was stunned: "It seems that the Federation of Explorers already knows that the world is spherical."

Gaines: "We have known it for a long time, and we are already measuring the latitude and longitude. Once the measurement is completed, we will reconstruct the federation building and add the latitude and longitude to the sphere."

Elizabeth asked doubtfully: "Is the world like that? Wouldn't the people living below fall down?"

Everyone turned to look at her.

Xiaobai: "Yes! Wouldn't it just fall down?"

Everyone looked at her again.

Nini: "Is it because of centrifugal force? Everyone has seen it in the circus. The performer holds a rope, and there is a bucket on the rope. The bucket is filled with water. As long as the rope is swung fast enough, the water inside will not spill down."

Flint praised: "The smart locking bracelet is really powerful. I want to wear it."

Barbarian: "High!"

Dwarf: "What are you shouting, you big guy pretending to be stupid! Do you really think everyone can't see it?"

Wang Ze answered Nini seriously: "You are partly right. The gravity of the planet is related to its mass. An object with such a large mass will have gravity. Gravity is the rope, do you understand?"

Nini nodded: "If the mass is large, there will be gravity, and gravity is a rope. I understand." Elizabeth: "What do you understand? Why don't I understand?"

Wang patted her shoulder: "It's okay, it doesn't matter, you are a warlock, you don't need to understand such complicated things."

Elizabeth pouted: "I don't, I just want to understand. Nini lend me a pair of them."

Nini took off the headband and handed it to Elizabeth.

After putting on the headband, Elizabeth thought for a while: "I understand part of it. But...why do things with large masses have gravity?"

Wang: "This is complicated. I need to explain it to you starting from the basic strength..."

Ten minutes later, Elizabeth took off the headband and gave it back to Nini: "I think there is a limit to the headband alone. If you don't understand something, you just don't understand it."

Nini put on the headband and agreed: "I feel the same way."

As he spoke, the airship had docked on the spire of the Federation of Explorers building. The captain came out of the wheelhouse and greeted loudly: "If you want to get off the ship, take the gangway here to get off."

Wang looked toward the spire and found that many dwarfs in gorgeous clothes were already standing on the platform inside the spire.

So he took a step forward and said, "Let's go."

After a while, a group of people stepped on the floor of the platform.

A group of dwarfs came forward and the king had to bend down to shake hands with them.

The leader of the dwarf introduced himself: "I am Grom, the acting president of the Federation of Explorers, and this is Haman, the president of the Longitude and Latitude Determination Committee."

Wang: "Hello."

Harman, chairman of the Longitude and Latitude Determination Committee, said after shaking hands: "We heard that you came to the Thorn Islands to borrow the flagship of the Explorers Federation, the Summit?"

Wang: "Exactly. This is to deal with the crisis of world destruction. You should already know that the crisis is less than four years away, and the source of the crisis, the evil star Ragnora, has already appeared in the sky. At this moment, we should United as one..."

Harman sighed: "It's not that we are unwilling to borrow the flagship, but the flagship was severely damaged during its second round-the-world voyage to measure longitude and latitude, and is now under repair."

Wang: "When we came here, we heard that it was almost repaired."

"Indeed." Acting President Grom said, "It will be repaired soon, but there is a small problem. You should know that we are not very good at dealing with the Thorn Islands Council. They now have a monopoly on the supply of raw materials to the Thorn Islands."

Grom did not continue.

Wang frowned: "You mean, the maintenance work cannot be completed because of the council's lack of cooperation."

Harman, chairman of the Longitude and Latitude Determination Committee, nodded: "Yes, that's what happened."

Wang: "The world is going to be destroyed, will they still hold back?"

Grom: "I think they shouldn't be so stubborn. However, the council has gathered a large number of members of other races who are dissatisfied with our dwarves controlling the Thorn Islands. We dwarves are really not very good at doing business, so the dwarf chamber of commerce has It’s almost been annexed, so the supplies are..."

Wang turned to ask Gaines: "Aren't dwarves good at doing business? I thought you were good at it. In some planes, you even monopolized the banking industry. People in the plane call you soap ingredients."

Gaines: "Other planes are other planes. We plane dwarves are really not very good at doing business, at least not as good at making explosions."

Wang was speechless and asked Grom: "Then if we persuade the Council to provide raw materials, can you complete the repairs immediately?"

Grom smiled and said, "Of course."
