Chapter 142 'Diana'
Chapter 142 'Diana'
For the monsters in the Abyss Labyrinth, there is no true death; even if they die, they will respawn the next day. However, for conscious individuals, their consciousness will also dissipate upon death, which is equivalent to death.
Gene took out a bottle of healing potion and fed it to the little red dragon on the ground.
Xiao Long had recovered somewhat from his injuries. He struggled to his feet and transmitted his voice:
"Teacher, I couldn't stop her."
Gene waved his hand.
"She's not someone you can stop. Go and rest."
Xiao Long bowed respectfully and then retreated to the depths of the fourth floor. The giant dragons that surrounded the square also departed one after another.
When Gene was the only one left in the square, he sighed.
"What a pity! Anna isn't here. Such a great opportunity!"
"Looks like I need to go check on Anna, or she'll really forget about her grandpa!"
Gene arrived at the altar with the white magic circle, activated it, and vanished after a flash of white light. (Teleportation magic cannot be used within the maze; one can only leave via the teleportation arrays within the maze.)
After leaving the labyrinth, Gene used teleportation a few times before transforming back into his true form and flying towards Oliver City. Unlike Diana, who had so much magic power that she could use teleportation magic an unlimited number of times, Gene's magic power was also very difficult to replenish.
Although traveling by air would take some time, soaring through the sky in one's true form was still quite enjoyable. After all, the sky had always been the domain of their dragon race. Occasionally, some powerful humans could fly, but that was only for brief periods of time. No one would use their magic for traveling, except for Diana.
In Oliver City, Diana and her entourage had spent the morning sightseeing and had just returned to the manor when Adolf was already waiting in the hall. He frowned when he saw that all the girls were there; today was not a day off.
"What's going on with you guys! Don't you have to go to school?"
The group, who had been laughing and joking just moments before, suddenly fell silent. They had been caught red-handed by the dean, and each of them began to give their excuses for asking for leave.
Adolf rubbed his forehead. "Forget about those who have various physical ailments, Eluaa, you said Diana was kidnapped and you're going to rescue her. At least make up a plausible excuse!"
"You all look so energetic and lively, it's not like you're feeling unwell!"
"Go back to class, all of you!"
"Yes~"
The group dejectedly agreed and went back to their rooms to pack their things for class.
"Anna! Where are you going?"
Diana stopped.
"Go back to class!"
Adolf was speechless. "Don't you know how many days of class you attended a week? Everyone else went to learn, you just went to play!"
"Put school aside for now, I need to talk to you about something!"
Diana felt that Adolf's visit to her was definitely not for anything good.
"Master! Going to school is a very important thing! How can you say you're putting it aside? Nothing is more important than going to school!"
Diana spoke as she walked toward her room.
Adolf looked disappointed.
"That's a real shame. I was hoping someone would be the first to pilot the plane! Looks like we'll have to find someone else!"
Diana paused as she lifted her leg to step onto the stairs. Even from a distance, she had keenly heard the words 'pilot the plane'. She turned, started, and braked in a fluid motion.
In the blink of an eye, Diana was standing in front of Adolf. She looked up at him with starry eyes, full of anticipation.
"Master! What did you say? Fly a plane? No, no! I want to fly one!"
Adolf had originally intended to tease her, but upon seeing Diana's adorable expression, the words he was about to say instantly changed.
"I really can't do anything with you. Come with me to the experimental base!"
"Yay! Let's fly the plane!"
Adolf watched Diana eagerly heading out and shook his head helplessly. 'I really don't understand why she's so enthusiastic about these things.'
The research base isn't located in Oliver City, but on a plain further north, accessible by a private railway line. Diana had visited that area before.
Diana turned back and waved as soon as she stepped out the door.
"Master! Time is money, let's teleport there directly! Taking the train is too slow!"
Adolf had no choice but to nod in agreement. Although he felt that teleporting there was a waste of magic, he felt relieved when he thought that it was Diana.
After a flash of white light, the two arrived at the entrance of the research base.
The sudden appearance of the two people startled the guard. He breathed a sigh of relief upon recognizing them. 'Two grown men appearing out of nowhere! Thank goodness it's daytime; if it were night, I'd probably be scared to death!'
"Teleportation magic is so convenient!"
Adolf couldn't help but sigh, even though it wasn't his first time teleporting.
This kind of magic, which allows you to reach your destination in an instant, is unmatched by any means of transportation.
After registering, the two entered the research base surrounded by high walls. The base was very spacious, and they could see straight running tracks in the distance. The gray-white running tracks were all made of cement.
Adolf said as he led the way:
"Anna, the only magic-powered twin-propeller plane has been built. It was specially made for you!"
Diana was very happy.
"It was made just for me! Are you going to give it to me? You guys are so kind!"
Adolf explained with a smile:
"Yes! It is indeed a gift for you, but you need to cooperate with everyone in recording flight data. This will also contribute to the future of the aviation industry!"
Why was Diana chosen for the experiment? Of course, it's because she's incredibly strong. Even if some malfunctions occur during flight, it won't matter to Diana. After all, even if the plane goes out of control, she can use her 'qi' to keep it levitating in the air.
If an ordinary person were to operate the aircraft, and a malfunction were to occur, the person might be saved, but if the aircraft were to crash, the losses would be devastating.
Diana patted her chest and assured her:
"No problem! I'll cooperate fully, as long as I get to fly the plane!"
During their conversation, the two arrived at a large warehouse. The warehouse door was open, and inside stood a white monoplane with twin propellers in the center, with several people conducting final checks on it.
Diana flew directly over and circled the plane a few times. The plane was very large, with a considerable amount of space in the middle, and the luxurious interior could be seen through the glass windows.
Diana liked it more and more as she looked at it, except for the four large red characters on the fuselage—'Diana'! 'I don't know which brilliant person came up with such an embarrassing name!'
Adolf walked over and saw Diana staring blankly at the name on the fuselage. He said with a smug look on his face:
"So, Anna, do you like it? I named her!"
Diana turned around blankly, "Master! So it was you, the brilliant one, who came up with the name! You really are a naming genius!"
"The name is very well chosen! Don't choose another one like that next time!"
