"It's unbelievable that this thing actually flew!"
If the flying ship's sudden ascent was a surprise to the Wizard, then to the townspeople gathered around, it was a shock!
All of them knew Lydia, a rowdy halfling who always liked to tinker with odd things.
Most crucially, she, like all the other ordinary town folk present, knew no magic at all.
And now, there she was in front of them, piloting something bigger than a house, flying straight into the sky—a feat many Wizards themselves couldn't achieve!
"Daddy, can I fly in the sky too someday?" the boy who had just climbed the sculpture to touch the flying ship asked the man in the gray robe, his expression excited.
"What are you thinking? I'm sure some Wizard must have secretly cast magic on the flying ship..." the man in the gray robe didn't believe for a second that a halfling could fly by their own power—here in Wizard Land, all miracles belong to the mighty power of magic.
