Chapter 543
Slowly emerging from Babylon"s Hangar, the whale-shaped Overgear Val-Albus began to swim gently through the cloudless sky.
"You"re slower than I thought."
"There is no speed like gungnil, but there are limits to the magic elements that can be taken from the surrounding atmosphere and water.If we do that, the Val-Albus will be out of service for a while. "
"If the magic elements to be converted don"t catch up, they will crash...?"
"No, alt.i.tude is going down, but slowly.Let the feathers fall. "
No, I"d say it"s falling, too.If there"s a big city right below you, you"ll be devastated.
You"d better try not to push too fast except in an emergency.
"I left Babylon for now... where should I go?"
Yumina in the captain"s seat with a translucent visor asks the doctor.
"For now, let"s head south to the inland sea between Mismid and Ramish.So we do dive tests. "
The inland sea between Mismid and Ramish... the Sapier Sea.
I proposed to open the Gate and transfer the Val-Albus, but it was rejected because it also served as a flight test. Well, yeah.
Even if it doesn"t go fast, it"s much faster than a carriage.
I"m sure we"ll be there in a few hours at this speed, but I"m free...
Yumina seemed to be learning how to manipulate Val-Albus while giving him detailed instructions.Ascend, descend, stop, retract.
Such a move doesn"t surprise me.I was wondering if there was anything like s.h.i.+p sickness.
The doctors have been busy for a while now, sticking to the console and throwing something into it, and Kun is also helping out with a lot of things.
Not just me and Long Distance were there, but I was looking at the big monitor in front of me, but I was getting tired of the irreplaceable view.
After a long time, he sat on the floor and began to take the parts and foundations of the diorama out of his phone"s [storage] and a.s.semble them.
Until I came here...That"s my pace...
Nevertheless, I was free, so I bought help for a long time and left.
For a long time, small brick-like parts are lined up and glued together, making them as big as walls.
What Kudo is building is the castle of the Legals Empire.A castle whose construction is simple and robust tells the story of history.
When I put my hands on the production part, the quality will be lowered, so the part that I help is mainly the lowest part.
Something taken from the material of the slime is stirred.If you don"t stir everything well and keep it tight, bubbles will come in...What do you use this for?
"I"m going to harden it into the water of the moat."
Having said that, Kudo began to pour my stirred slime solution into the castle. [M]Oh, you want some water?
After rinsing everything, it is now like a toothpick, and a little bit like a muscle is drawn on the poured surface.I didn"t know what I was doing at first, but I was surprised to find out that it was creating fine waves on the water.I can do this kind of detail often...
"I saw the Sapier Sea."
Looking up at the front monitor in Yumina"s voice, he saw the sparkling s.h.i.+ne of the water above the horizon.
The Sapia Sea, which connects to the Great River of Gau, is as large as a small country.I"m sure Val-Albus won"t have a problem diving.
"All right, let"s start the dive. Slowly."
"Alright, Albus, dive."
Copy that.
The Val-Albus slowly entered the water according to the doctor"s words.For a moment, the footage was cloudy, but it quickly switched to a clear image, reflecting the fish fleeing the sea.
"Monitor switched to dive mode. Good vision."
"No hydraulic problems, sir. We"re on our way."
"Sensors are clear of large sea beasts. Continue searching."
It seems that Val-Albus is diving without a problem.I thought it might get darker in the ocean, but it looks pretty clear.
"I"ve adjusted it to look that way.It"s actually getting dark.It"s a dark world where no light can reach the bottom of the deep ocean. "
The doctor answered my question. [M]Oh, is it getting dark outside?I don"t know because Val-Albus doesn"t have a real window.
It seems that the Val-Albus sank to the bottom of the sea in no time.The Sapier Sea doesn"t seem to be that deep, it doesn"t have to be 3,000 meters.I don"t know if it"s deep or not.
Speaking of the earth"s oceans, I"m sure the Mariana trench was the deepest, more than 10,000 meters, so it"s not deep...?
"There seems to be no problem with navigation.All right, let"s do the exploration test next.Yumina, get me the drone. "
"Yes. Um... this is it. Albus, launch the drone from A00 to A99."
Copy that.
A drone?
When Albus answers Yumina"s orders, several spheres fly like torpedoes ahead of the monitor.
Is that a drone?It"s as small as a table tennis ball.
"Is that what you"re exploring this waters for?"
"Since I won"t get caught in your [search] on winter nights, the Ark is probably equipped with an inhibitory boundary.In that case, visual exploration would be the most reliable.That probe ball has the ability to see through even if the opponent has a phantom.Moreover, the probe ball itself develops the same concealed magic as the Val-Albus, so it"s hard to find from the other side. "
Is there a stealth function?Well, otherwise a big sea beast might mistake you for food.
The mid-sized monitor on the left and right of the large monitor on the front was projected with 50 divided screens each.Looks like a security camera screen in the security room that"s gonna be in the movies.
The footage over here is also a little bright.It still feels dark, but I think I"ll know if there"s anything strange...
"Isn"t it tough to keep watching all this...?"
One after the other, I saw hundreds of images of fish and rock and rock, and my eyes began to tingle.
"As expected, surveillance of everything is impossible in human eyes.Don"t worry, if something strange happens, Albus will find out and let you know. "
Airplane A42, we have an unidentified object.
He found something while he was trying to say something.It"s not Ark, is it?Though we may not be able to find it so quickly, our eyes will focus on the enlarged 42 footage.
Something is falling on the dark sea floor.It"s huge. Hmm? That"s...
"The sinking s.h.i.+p...?"
A large s.h.i.+p is sinking in the middle as if it had broken in half.But it"s weird. Something like a propeller can be seen in the mast.It"s not an ordinary s.h.i.+p.
"Is this... airborne?"
"Airborne?"
The doctor opened his mouth with a little surprise when he saw the footage of machine 42.
"It was a flying s.h.i.+p that used to fly quite normally during the ancient Magical Kingdom.I didn"t expect it to sink here.It was dropped 5,000 years ago in the battle against Fraser.It doesn"t seem to be a military s.h.i.+p..... "
Is this a s.h.i.+p from the ancient Magical Kingdom era!?
"If you were under protective magic, you wouldn"t be in bad storage, would you?"
"Well, that bothers me."
Kuhn, Erka Technician, and Professor Professor "Professor" ate the doctor"s words.You magician nerds.
Jumina, you need to get to 42.
"Okay."
The Val-Albus changes direction and continues into the sea.Eventually, the sunken s.h.i.+p found on plane 42 was projected on the front monitor.
It"s pretty big. It"s not as good as the Val-Albus, but it"s close to 100 meters.
Three masts. Two of them are broken.There was also a big propeller at the rear, and some big oars were jumping out of the hull.
What"s all this stuff doing in the air?
"Capture the magic elements in the air and use them to propel the s.h.i.+p.In principle, it"s the same as a s.h.i.+p. "
Hmm, like auxiliary power?You don"t want to look like a galley boat, do you?
"Nh, what are you going to do?"
"You"re supposed to collect it!Relics of the ancient magical kingdom!?There"s no way to leave it on the bottom like this! "
"That"s right...."
c.o.o.n got mad at me with the sword curtain.It seems that it is already a matter of decision for her to recover.
The doctors seem to be in favour of retrieving it.But how do you get it back?
"How can I... shoot you in your [storage] on the winter night?"
Oh, I see.
I knew my own stupidity in the dr. "s stupid voice. [M]I wonder if it"s a robotic submersible or if it can be recovered using a frame gear...
If you use Storage , it will be one shot.I wonder why you didn"t notice that...
As the doctor told me, I will only retrieve flight flights with [storage].
"I"m glad I retrieved it, but where do I put it?"
"I"ll go to the vault in Val-Albus. This way."
Jumina and Long Distance, and Albus will remain on the bridge, Bridge, and we will proceed to Val-Albus" hangar under the direction of the Doctor.
The hangar that arrived in an instant using the transporter was as large as an idiot.I wonder if this place is also spread with s.p.a.ce-time magic.
Remove the aerial vessel recovered from Storage .I wanted to recover only the airs.h.i.+p, so I removed all the seawater and took it in.As a result, there was not a single drop in sea water on the surface of the overhead flight, and the hangar was not wet.
The sand and debris stuck to the airs.h.i.+p can also disappear, and the airborne flight is showing a brand new sparkle.As the Erka engineer said, it was under protective magic.Same as Babylon.
The doctor murmured as he looked up at the airlift.
"Hmm, from what I"ve seen, it"s a merchant s.h.i.+p from the Republic of Talwes.You"re in the middle of a fight. "
The Republic of Talwes? I"ve never heard of it.Probably one of the countries of the ancient magical kingdom.
"A merchant s.h.i.+p. I wonder what the s.h.i.+pment is."
"Artifacts, a magical artifact from the ancient magical kingdom era, is interesting."
"I"m glad to hear that, but this s.h.i.+p itself is a treasure!Where is the power section..... "
The magician geeks are playing around flying on their own.Aren"t you too free?
I also approach the airborne flight and slap the surface. [M]It"s a bit different because it looks like metal.It"s a response like hard rubber.
Ignore the hatch entering the s.h.i.+p and enter from where it broke.
"Wow."
Something like wood debris and sand was deposited inside.Perhaps this is the culmination of something inside this s.h.i.+p that had no protective magic on it.
When something like mud was collected in [storage], did you lose moisture and this happened?
... if you think about it carefully, there must have been someone aboard this s.h.i.+p...Is this sand mixed with their bones...?
While chanting the Buddha in his heart, he wors.h.i.+pped lightly and stepped in.It"s been 5,000 years, so I think it"s become a Buddha.
I searched the front of the broken s.h.i.+p, but I couldn"t find anything like this.Maybe the s.h.i.+pment was food or something.I packed up some food to get away from Fraser, but it looks like they shot him down.
When I came out of the airborne flight, the c.o.o.n that entered the rear deck came here with pleasure.
"Father, Father! The s.h.i.+p"s power reactor is still alive!Repair it and this s.h.i.+p will come back to life! "
Yes. The power reactor was safe.But isn"t that just too much tension?
"No, we"re not that interested in this s.h.i.+p.I thought I"d give it to Kung"s daughter..... "
"I was in a good mood to talk about it."
"Well, if you let me in on the winter night, What do we do?"
No, what did I do...?
I can"t turn my back on the sparkling begging queen!
At least if Lean were here, she might have been able to resist a little.
"... if you decide on the right time.To the extent that Lean doesn"t get angry.... "
"Thank you!"
c.o.o.n hugs me with a smile.Are you going to repair it by yourself, that...?It might have been a big present for my child.
Warning, starboard forward, Kalaga, huge lifeform approaching.
Suddenly, Albus"s voice echoed aboard with a beep warning.
"Mm-hmm. Something happened.Let"s get back to the bridge. "
As instructed by the Doctor, we have returned to the bridge, the Bridge, where the Yuminas are.
A monster like a big sea snake is swimming towards us on the monitor in front.
"The sea dragon Leviathan?"
Leviathan is a sea monster 100 meters long.Along with Kraken, the sailors are afraid.
Well, both of them serve me as a Summoner.
But I think it"s bigger than the average Leviathan.It says 300 meters on the monitor, but is it more than twice that?
"That"s not just Leviathan.A subspecies of Leviathan, the Leviathan Lord. "
Leviathan Road? Sure, it"s bigger than the average Leviathan, and the scale is a little different than the average Leviathan.The color is also deeper than that of Leviathan.
All of a sudden, the River Sun Road and all of a sudden, they threw something like a loose ring from their mouth toward us at high speed.
The Val-Albus shakes slightly, but small. Attacked?
"You"re definitely attacking us with hostility."
"I wonder if he"s the boss around here.Are you in the territory and you"re freaking out? "
Kudo and Kun are having such a conversation, but I agree with that opinion.You must be hungry to get rid of the stranger who came into the territory.
While I was thinking like that, the doctor beside me had a smile. [M]... you look bad.
"Perfect. I think we should be fighting the Val-Albus."
"There are a lot of materials in Leviathan Sun Road that can be used for magic."
"This is more of a treasure mountain than a flying airplane."
"Yumina Mother! Let"s do it!"
Obviously, from the "Magic Materials", I can see that Kuhn is motivated.
It"s easy to understand and helpful, but in the future, I"m a little worried that a man with valuable magic materials will trick me...
Suggested to attack Leviathan Sun Road, Yumina slipped her fingers into the console on the captain"s armrest.
"Attack, huh? Um... then, Albus, this thirty-six series of magical torpedoes..."
"Wait a minute! That"s too much power.Leviathan Sun Road is going to be a seaweed. "
"Jumina, Mother, that"s rejected!"
What kind of gear are you carrying? This overgear...
Leviathan Sun Road is repeating shockwave-like attacks while Doctor and Yumina interact.
Luckily? However, this s.h.i.+p has not taken much damage in that attack.
That"s why you can"t just let them do it.
Albus, the fourth brilliant torpedo is fired.
Copy that.
I wondered if there was a small, tiny sound, and the monitor in front of me headed towards Leviathan Sun Road at an incredible speed with a single torpedo.
And I thought that the dazzling flash of the monitor ran for a moment, and the river sun road in front of me was splitting up and down in two, drifting in the ocean scattering all sorts of things.
"s.h.i.+t, that"s too good a hit...."
The doctor is alone with a small tongue.Apparently, the torpedo hit a clean spot and hit the Riviera Sunroad hard.
I don"t know about Leviathan Road, but Leviathan is a less defensive beast.Because it"s a subspecies, even if its defenses aren"t that high...
Collect the Leviathan Sun Road with [Storage], just as it did when flying.
If you leave it in the hangar, it looks like the hangar smells, so I"ll keep it in [storage].
We need to ask the Adventurer Alliance to dismantle it later.
Too big a beast to disa.s.semble on Alliance property, so we have to get out of town.It takes time to dismantle, and the freshness decreases when the product is worn.It"ll be working all night.I apologize to the dismantlers of the Alliance.
"I"ve had some battle experiments, so shall we finish today?Return to Babylon and make some fine-tuning before you embark on a full-scale expedition. "
"A full-scale expedition would take you all the way around the world to find the Ark?Tie Jumina to this s.h.i.+p forever..... "
"No, no, just exploring is enough for Albus.I"ll be able to contact you in the event of an unforeseen situation, so there"s no problem. "
Leave it to Albus to explore the sea floor.Well, it"s Golem, so I"m pretty sure we can do it 24 hours a day, but I think it"s hard to find the seas all over the world.
"At the same time, we will place markers near the coasts of our allies.If there is an "apostle of the devil" invasion, we will be able to detect it as soon as possible.I need you to explain the winter night to the heads of state. "
"Okay."
I don"t think I"m going to let them do whatever they want anymore.Next time, we need to get out of here and crush him.
