The growth of a Heavenly Feather Bird was slow. It usually took three to four hundred years for a Heavenly Feather Bird to grow from an egg to a young bird, and from a young bird to a bird that grew wings and flew into the blue sky.
Such a long time to mature was indeed a bit long compared to a mere hundred years of human life.
A mature Heavenly Feather Bird often required the careful care of several generations. However, the Heavenly Feather Bird's excellent flight and weight-bearing ability played an irreplaceable role in both military and civilian transportation.
The empire also recognized the great military and civilian value of the Heavenly Feather Bird. Therefore, from the moment they mastered the taming technique of the Heavenly Feather Bird, they established a national policy to encourage the people to raise birds.
This way, once war broke out, the Empire could recruit the Heavenly Feather Birds from the people to serve the army. If there were enough of them, they could even form the Heavenly Feather Bird Army that they had always dreamed of.
At that time, the sky full of birds would appear in front of the enemy army like dark clouds. How majestic and spectacular would that be?
It was obvious that the " House of Heavenly Feather Birds " could no longer adapt to the needs of reality. In order to better protect the resources of the Heavenly Feather Birds in the empire and to increase the enthusiasm of the people to raise the Heavenly Feather Birds, the upper echelons of the empire subsequently issued a few decrees regarding the Heavenly Feather Birds.
Among them, the decree that allowed private trading companies to operate air transportation officially broke the monopoly of the "House of Heavenly Feather Birds" in the air transportation industry, allowing private trading companies to quickly occupy more than 80% of the market for Heavenly Feather Birds.
Back in Lieyang City, when she was working as a part-time worker, Tangning had dealt with the " House of Heavenly Feathers Birds " on behalf of some nobles. So, she had some understanding of the market for Heavenly Feathers Birds and knew that the rental price for a Heavenly Feathers Bird wasn't cheap.
Departing from Nionis City and then crossing the Great Plains of Nicaragua to reach the City of the Comoros, one would indeed need to pay a rental fee of about 600 gold coins.
Sai Wen seemed to know about the rental price of the Sky Feather Bird. After exchanging a glance with Tangning, Sai Wen was too lazy to bargain with Roger Long and lose his status as a noble, so he immediately agreed.
The two sides agreed that Sai Wen would first pay 200 gold coins to Roger Long. After arriving in the Xiongnu, the Feather Bird's charioteer would collect the remaining 100 gold coins.
Tangning stood up and left her seat. Her current identity was Young Master Donald of the York Family, so she didn't need to personally handle these trivial matters. Servant Sai Wen would naturally take care of them.
He walked out of the hotel.
Niolis was a small city, only half the size of Scorching Sun City. The streets in the city were naturally much narrower than in Scorching Sun City.
Perhaps it was because it was too early, there were not many pedestrians on the street, making it seem a little empty.
As she strolled through the streets of Niolis City, Tangning suddenly felt an indescribable sense of loss. A few years ago, he was just one of the billions of lives on Earth, an extremely ordinary person.
Ever since he came to this world, he had been struggling on the edge of life and death. He had been struggling to survive in this strange world until he witnessed that tragic battle, a battle between a hunter and a tempered demon beast.
After that, he had a sniper rifle that shouldn't have appeared in this world, as well as a noble identity that he didn't even dare to imagine before, and a huge territory that included two islands and a city.
Commoners and nobles were two different identities. They lived in two different worlds. The change from commoners to nobles was the change from hell to heaven.
Not long after, Sai Wen and the servant named Orawan caught up to Tangning. Under Orawan's lead, they passed through the city and arrived at the outskirts of the western part of the city.
Inside a thatched courtyard, Tangning finally saw the Sky Feather Bird that Orawan had mentioned.
According to Tangning's understanding, an adult Sky Feather Bird could weigh up to a ton and their wings could extend to over 10 meters long. Their feathers were white and the base of their feathers was pink. They had a willow leaf shaped crest on their back. As the bird grew older, the pink color of the base of the Sky Feather Bird's feathers would gradually spread from the base to the tip of its feathers until it was a vermillion red color. Therefore, some people used the color of its feathers to determine its age.
The beak of the Sky Feather Bird was slender and curved downwards. Its legs were one meter long and dark green in color.
The Skyfeather Bird standing in the farmhouse was about three meters tall. Its feathers were pink in color, and only the tip and tail of its feathers were white. From this, it could be judged that this Skyfeather Bird was already an adult and could fly in the sky of the Radiant Continent.
A half foot wide strap was tied to the bird's body, extending from its abdomen to its back. As the bird knelt down, Tangning saw the three seats tied to its back.
The kneeling Heavenly Feather Bird was still more than 2 meters tall. Tangning and Sai Wen had to use the help of a wooden ladder to climb onto the bird's back and sit on its seat.
The Feather Bird's charioteer was called Aurragon, the younger brother of the servant Aurrawan. He had blue hair and blue eyes.
It was only later that Tangning found out that he and Orawan were only half-brothers. His mother was a half-elf with the blood of an elf. In his family, his mother also had a high status. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the Feather Bird's charioteer.
As the Sky Feather Bird slowly climbed up, Orawan's figure became smaller and smaller. Soon, an endless green field entered Tangning's line of sight. This was the world-famous Great Plains of Nicaragua.
In the common language of the Glorious Continent, it meant " boundless."
In the boundless wilderness, there were countless trees, flowers, and plants. There were purple, blue, yellow, and white. They grew together in clusters and strings, connecting into countless beautiful patterns. It was like a green carpet spreading into the distance.
In the forest at dawn, white fog rose from time to time, connecting with the clouds in the distance, making the entire plain look like a fairyland.
Looking into the distance along the main road into the city, it was a forest road that meandered all the way to the end of the plain.
Under Auragon's command, the Sky Feather Bird flew steadily forward. At first, Tangning was interested in looking around, but after flying for a while, she started to get tired of it.
It wasn't easy for him to cultivate his true energy while flying, mainly because he was afraid that he would go berserk. It was also inconvenient for him to chat with Sai Wen. As long as he opened his mouth, a large amount of air would be poured into his mouth, making it difficult for him to breathe.
The Heavenly Feather Bird was flying in the sky. Two streams of air flew past his body, as if the Heavenly Feather Bird was carrying him and splitting the air in the sky.
He closed his eyes and carefully experienced the airflow that flew past his body. Gradually, the airflow turned into strands of energy elements that he could use and control.
"Could this be the wind element that the mages were talking about?”He sat steadily on the saddle of the Heavenly Feather Bird and felt the abundant wind element around him." That's right. The flow of gas forms this agile and dancing wind element. Where there is air, there will also be wind element.”
Strands of wind elements were merged into strands and lines of wind energy, and then compressed into strands and strands of dense wind energy. This cycle continued, and a colorless and invisible wind energy shield appeared in his spiritual world.
In reality, the moment this silk-like wind barrier appeared, it was blown away by the strong wind in the sky.
Shortly after, the wind energy barrier in Tangning's spiritual world disappeared.
