Chapter 468: Feeding Taffy (6)
Whoops.
A magical battleship, the Nautilus, that makes a huge roar.
The gigantic ship, hundreds of meters tall, was filled with seemingly complicated devices and was flying rapidly through the sky, shining intense light from the densely carved magic circuits.
And… the top elites of the Black Pirates who boarded and maneuvered the ship.
It was the first ship they had ever operated, but they were moving very naturally to the eastern seas, moving in perfect order like their own ships that had been riding for decades.
“hey! Look straight ahead! If you arrive at the wrong place, I’ll throw you overboard!”
“Ha ha ha! fast! It’s fast!”
“Hahahahaha! Advance! All over again!”
Those who stand on the deck where they don’t even have to go out and enjoy the risky flight while being exposed to the madly raging wind. Seeing them like that, Jaeyoung murmured in disbelief.
“What are all these guys doing? There is no need to go out and check.”
The front part of the ship is completely covered with Ardental crystal, which is a transparent material that allows you to see the outside, but is harder than steel. In addition, the detection magic and satellite magic applied directly by the dragons made it possible to check the current position of the ship in real time, and visualized it through illusion magic, so what the crew of the black pirates were doing was crazy because they just wanted to finish quickly. It was just their luck.
“Maybe it’s because my body is itching from not sailing for a long time. It’s the first time we’ve set sail like this since the entire continent went through a cataclysmic upheaval, so please understand.”
Pirate King Carlos answers Jaeyoung’s words with a chuckle.
Then, looking around the bridge he was standing on with an expression of total disbelief, he asked Jaeyoung a question he had already asked several times.
“Are you really going to give us this ship? No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like an ordinary ship… I’ve never heard of a ship floating in the air like this in my entire life.”
Carlos is completely ignorant of magic. But even so, I wasn’t without common sense, so the fact that it makes such a huge ship so high in the sky, and the fact that this ship is absolutely not ordinary because of the circuits with complex magic formulas that make my eyes spin just by looking at it, is just looking at it. Could know.
“There is nothing I can’t give you if you finish this job well. It’s something I don’t really need anyway.”
Strictly speaking, the magical battleship Nautilus, which is more like an airship or a space battleship.
However, perhaps because of Arcadia’s worldview that thoroughly excludes science and technology and civilization, this absurd ship was treated as just a kind of ‘ship’.
-Minimum operating manpower: 50 people.
-Navigation 1 rank. Rank 5 for large ship operation. Steering skill 3rd rank. Survey Rank 2 …..
A ship that requires a minimum number of crew members and extremely high sailing skills.
To Jaeyoung, who had no ship-related sailors and even less skills, this Nautilus was literally a pie in the picture, but to Carlos and the Black Pirates, it was a treasure more valuable than anything else.
‘Anyway, it’s useless after this scenario ends, so… I’m going to show condescension with this.’
“Still, it is not given at all, it is clearly ‘rented’, so be aware of it. You never know when you’ll suddenly come back and ask to put it out. Is it difficult to wash your mouth after that?”
It seems that there is nothing to ask for it back in the first place, but Jae-young throws a warning, not a warning, with a mischievous smile. However, Carlos nodded and answered without a single word of hesitation.
“Ha ha ha ha. then. If you ask for it at any time, I will give it back right away. Don’t worry about that.”
Carlos nodded very cheerfully. And at his reaction, Jaeyoung smiled and said.
“Anyway, if you manage to operate this Nautilus, you will be able to freely roam all over the continent from now on, so use it well. I’ve already made a comment on the top of the pie. If you cooperate with them and use this ship as a trade ship, you won’t have to suffer from financial difficulties in the future.”
The only artifact in Arcadia that can fly.
It was a super-large ship built to accommodate thousands of people and carry hundreds… thousands of tons of supplies, so even if it wasn’t for combat, its utility was endless.
“Hey… can you hear what I said…?”
Jaeyoung says that the ship will be responsible for the future of the Caribbean. Hearing this, Carlos, who seemed shocked by something, stayed blank for a while before speaking in a trembling voice.
“Thank you.”
Carlos’s sincere words. He sincerely bowed his head towards the adventurer in front of him.
“You are… my… no, you are the savior of this Caribbean…”
Carlos tries to create another embarrassing situation.
But at that moment, a warning sound made him stop what he was saying.
[Beep.]
A sudden magic alarm.
Everyone looked around frowning at that sharp, unpleasant sound, but no one seemed to understand what was going on.
“What the hell is this…?”
“Oh this? It means that mana is running out.”
Nautilus floats a metal body hundreds of meters high in the air and interacts with hundreds and thousands of magics in real time.
Since everything was running on mana, this ship was nicknamed the Mana-Eating Hippo.
“Can you see this here?”
Jae-young came to the core, the power engine located at the center of the ship, with Carlos and a few crew members. Then he opened the core’s protective panel and pointed at the blue mana stone that radiated intense light.
“You can operate this ship by putting mana stones in it. It is possible to use everything from intermediate to top grade, but… First of all, as a result of the initial experiment, the efficiency of the intermediate grade is too low, so do not use it unless you run out of mana stones during flight. You can think of it as at least senior level.”
“You mean Mana Stone?”
The rarest and most valuable resource.
mana stone.
Among them, Carlos’ face stiffened as the calculator automatically tapped in his head at those words, as he was not ignorant of the value of one of the highest and highest quality mana stones.
“Now it’s a situation where we have to fight… so we’re using the highest quality mana stones, but a simple flight is enough for a higher level, so there’s no need to worry too much about it.”
“I see…”
Carlos’s expression changed moment by moment at Jaeyoung’s words.
Seeing his expression like that, Jaeyoung giggled and took out a top-notch mana stone.
“As a service, we have enough mana stones in the warehouse so you won’t be disappointed, so you won’t have to worry about it for the next few years. When changing, put the mana stone in here like this…”
However, Jaeyoung stared at the unsteadily glowing mana stone as his mana was almost exhausted, and then stood blankly looking down at the mana stone he was holding in his hand. .
“Why is that…?”
Carlos makes a puzzled expression at Jaeyoung’s sudden strange behavior. But he made no reply. I was just… muttering something to myself.
“Mana stone…? Wait… then will that work…?”
Jaeyoung is making an expression as if he realized something.
Then he opened his inventory and took out something he had recently received.
Woo woo woo.
“Master, why are you taking that out all of a sudden?”
“No way… with that…?”
Calamity of the Central Continent, Declen.
The last legacy he left before his death was the Heart of Eternity.
When he took out the item, which did not even have a grade and was out of standard and common sense, Tan looked at Jaeyoung with a questioning eye, and L hardened his face as if he noticed something.
“Come to think of it… why did I keep thinking of this as a magic ingredient? In a way… it’s just like an infinite battery, right?”
Tan and L, who kept thumping loudly, saying that they should make their own god with this.
Because of those two, I unconsciously thought of it as a necessary material for production, but it was not the essence of this Eternal Heart.
infinite.
There is literally no end… A source of mana with no limits.
Holding in his hand the heart that can provide infinite power to this gigantic artifact that does not need to be recharged or replaced, Jaeyoung put on a worried expression.
“No way…”
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
Declen’s heart, still pulsating as if alive, holding that endless mana in his hands.
Jaeyoung murmured as he slowly brought it to the core of the Nautilus.
“Will this work too?”
unlimited freedom.
and endless possibilities.
The motto that this fantasy world pushes forward.
That’s why this crazy heart was born, and also the flying ships that completely disrupt this universe. And now, in this situation, Jaeyoung put on a face full of anticipation and shoved the heart that trembled like crazy in his hand into the middle of the core.
And at that moment, Alice’s massive calculation circuit hypothesized hundreds, thousands… no, tens of thousands of scenarios, and struggled to make judgments through countless logical calculations and verification.
[warning. A fatal variable occurred.]
[Error. impossible. An unacceptable setting.]
An out-of-standard item that completely deviate from the existing setting.
In the midst of the results that even she did not expect and the many destructive variables derived from it… In the end, she had no choice but to make a decision that she had never made before.
[Emergency inspection conducted. All time freeze in Arcadia.]
Kuung.
Arcadia frozen by her emergency measures.
However, while everyone was frozen, Jaeyoung was able to move alone.
“what….?”
Carlos and his men completely turned to ice. And when he tilted his head with a puzzled expression, seeing that even Tan and L did not even move.
Someone spoke behind Jaeyoung’s back.
“Wow… you are really great. I knew from the start that I was creative to a demonic level, but I didn’t know it was to this extent.”
“…?”
A mysterious child appeared in front of Jae-young, who hurriedly turned his head.
With golden hair and eyes that looked like a middle school student, he was muttering while looking at Jaeyoung with an expression of wonder.
“Even now, the balance is completely in a state of collapse, so how the hell are you supposed to deal with it if you destroy it further here? Can’t you please do something in moderation?”
He talks as if he has been observing himself for a long time. And at that moment, Jaeyoung was able to recognize his identity.
“You… are you that developer?”
A being that can move freely in a state where all time is stopped. And seeing him talk as if he had known him for a long time, Jaeyoung asked in a confident tone, but he denied it in a very firm tone.
“no? How can I look like such a crazy person?”
“what….?”
He frowned as if it was unfair to be misunderstood like that. However, he kept mumbling as if he couldn’t say something even though he wanted to say something.
“Ah Okay. I won’t talk about anything else, so don’t nag me, Alice.”
A mysterious child who talked to himself like a madman. However, he cleared his throat and looked at Jaeyoung.
“First of all, I am not a developer. No, strictly speaking, it’s more like an architect.”
“What the hell are you talking about…?”
“I also have a lot of things I want to say to you, but not many are allowed. Even just showing up, in a way, it is close to an act of exceeding authority.”
He muttered something with a bitter expression on his face. But then he spread two fingers and said.
“I will tell you just two things. first. I’m rooting for you right now Please be patient with me because I never want to be fucked by you. It’s so unfair that I’m going crazy.”
He puts on a pitiful expression as if to really believe in him, and he mutters with earnest eyes. And he continued talking.
“And… I would never allow what you just did…but considering the situation is a situation, and technically speaking, there’s nothing wrong, so I’ll allow it until the end of this damn scenario.”
“…?”
Jae-young looks like he wants to ask a lot of questions. But before he can open his mouth, Jack disappears in an instant with a very pitiful smile.
“I hope you can save us all from this catastrophe.”
He left a meaningful last word as if he was also a victim.
