Chapter 3: Inexplicable exhaustion

"Hmm. Ellie. He opened his eyes in a daze. What he saw was a small man with two golden ponytails standing in front of him. Luke subconsciously remembered a name that he had forgotten for a long time.

"Ahh Who's that. Andrea was stunned. Tilted his head. I can't think of who Ellie is. Is there such a person in the town guard's mansion? Glancing at the ripple next to him. The other party also blinked and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Get up. Master. You're not saying to build a ship in the afternoon. Let's go over and help. Ripple reached out and shook Luke, who was lying on the bed in a daze. I asked them to come over and help at noon. As a result, I slept soundly here. Really. Recently, I always feel like the owner is in a trance.

I was shaken by the ripples. Luke also came to his senses. Patted his head. I don't know what's going on. I actually dream about what happened before. I've never dreamed before. Could it be that I've been too tired lately or something?

"Alright. Don't shake it anymore. I'm awake. Let's go. Go to work. "I sat up from the bed. He hung the long knife on his waist. Picking up a stack of drawings on the table, he pushed open the factory door.

But as soon as I pushed the door open. I saw Fuso and Yamashiro standing at the door. Fuso saw Luke walk out. He asked, looking at him with some concern. "Admiral. Is something wrong? You look like you're tired. ”

"Ahh Seeing Fuso, he also looked at himself worriedly. Luke touched his face strangely. It's weird. Do I really look tired? I don't think there's a problem. Why are they all this expression. "No, I don't. Why are you looking at me like that? ”

"Uh. Admiral. You've slept all day. It's already the afternoon of the next day. Fusang heard Luke ask. On the contrary, I felt more worried. Yesterday Luke went to bed at noon. It was just a day and a night's sleep. It wasn't until this afternoon that I woke up.

"Ugh. Are you sure. I said how groggy it was. No wonder. Feelings are oversleeping. All right. I'm fine. Don't worry anymore. He waved his hand. In addition to being a little stiff because of oversleeping. There was no other discomfort. Maybe it's just that I've been too tired lately.

But even he didn't believe much of this reason. But Luke beckoned to Ripple and Andrea anyway. "Let's go. There was still some time before dinner. With that, he led the two of them towards the underground base.

"Alas. It's a little worrying. "Saw Luke leave. Fuso was still a little worried. After all, the feeling of exhaustion in Luke's eyes. You can see it almost at a glance. Compared to Lian, I can already see it.

"Sister. Why be so nice to that guy. Yamashiro frowned and looked at Luke's back. Chao Fuso asked. She couldn't figure out why Fuso always cared so much about Luke. Most of the things I usually talk about when I talk to her are about Luke.

"Well. Don't say that. Admiral Luke is actually a very good man. If it weren't for him. Maybe I'd already been sunk into the sea by now...... "Fuso pulls the mountain castle." While saying this. He walked towards the exit of the base. this weather. It's also good to go outside.

"Hey. Master. Do you smoke too much? "I saw Luke, who was holding the blueprints and directing the elves to run around from time to time. Lian said with a frown. I don't know why Luke looks tired. Maybe Luke smoked too much.

"Huh. What do you think. It's steady. Don't touch it. Luke rolled his eyes. Chao Lian said.

Ripple was holding a long bottle in his hand at this time. At this point, the end is in mid-air. The elves were scrambling to figure out the support for this bottle-like thing. So for the time being, I can only let Lianxian hold it like this.

The elves build fast, though. It won't take long to get things done. So for Lian and Andrea, it's not very tiring. It's just going to be a little boring. "What the hell is this?" Andrea looked at the tube in her hand that glowed green. Asked a little strangely.

"Oh. That's the reactive substance. That's what the new engine is at its core. Wait until it's done. This new engine will allow new ships to fly into the sky. Luke gestured to a few elves.

"Huh. It's just something that looks like apple juice. He said. Andrea Adam immediately wanted to stand up and take a closer look.

"Hey, hey. Don't move. "See Doria's movements. Luke's heart skipped a beat. It's not apple juice. It's okay to swing around. It's something that is going to be used as a reaction substance for the engine.

Andrea, who was held down by Luke's arm, was stunned. Why is Luke so nervous? Even cold sweat broke out on his head. It's that important.

I said. Doria. Hold it up obediently and don't move. This is not a toy. If you're not careful, you'll explode. Luke twitched. I knew that I would have asked someone else to come and help. Andrea, how can this guy be as curious as a child?

"Huh. Will this thing still explode?。。 I heard Luke say that. The ripples on the other side immediately cried out in surprise. The tube looked like apple juice. It doesn't look like it's going to blow up.

"Of course. Otherwise, why would I tell you not to move? Be careful. If this thing blew up, the whole base would be blown up. "Seeing that Doria is not shaking her arms. The liquid in the tube also calmed down. Luke breathed a sigh of relief. Reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his head. Next time, let's find a reliable guy to come over and help.

"Huh. Is this true? Ripple exclaimed. Luke's heart skipped a beat. I'm afraid this guy will suddenly move or something. However, I saw that her face was also a little pale. I know that this guy must be scared too. Andrea on the other side had the same expression.

After all, Luke wouldn't usually joke with them like that. So these eight achievements are real. The thought of holding such a dangerous thing in his hands. One careless will blow up the entire base.

The two looked at each other. Qi Qi swallowed his saliva. The body stiffened. I didn't dare to move.

The stiff two waited for the goblin to build the support underneath. Suddenly it felt like time was passing so slowly. It's only a dozen minutes. But why is it as if a whole century has passed?

Luke was seen taking out two pieces of bright yellow alloy from a chest at his feet. Lian's eyes lit up obviously. It's the same with Doria next to it. Naturally, they knew that this alloy was the same one that Akagi said tasted good last time. For a moment, his eyes burned and he stared at the two alloy parts in Luke's hand.

Seeing the eyes of the two. Luke's cheeks twitched. Luckily, Jean and the two guys were holding the contents of the engine. Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have come up and take a bite to taste it. In that case, the new engine will not be in vain.

Luke neatly placed the two pieces of alloy on the support frame that the elves had just made. I also layered another layer of alloy on top that I had never seen before. Both of them had a look of regret in their eyes. It seems that this time I will not be able to taste this new alloy.

"Hey, hey. It's good to concentrate. Don't keep thinking about eating. Seeing the expressions of the two. Luke was speechless. Why are these guys like this? Is this thing so delicious? He wanted to taste it himself. Unfortunately, it was not possible then. He's not a shipwright. If you bite into this bite. I had to break my teeth.

The whole work lasted a quarter of an hour. See that the supports of the two engine reactor tubes are done. Luke was also relieved. Walk over and secure the two reaction tubes. "Alright. It's time to let go. ”

Hear this. Ripple and Doria both breathed a sigh of relief. While shaking his stiff arm. He glanced at the two locations filled with the alloy. There was still that look of hope in his eyes.

Seeing the two of them look at each other. Lian also deliberately turned to look at him. Two big eyes widened. Tearful. It's like saying that if you don't give you food, you'll cry and show you. Doria was also pouting and smashing it. It seems to be imagining what that alloy tastes like.

Seeing the two of them with such expressions. Luke immediately pouted a little speechlessly. Ripple this guy. It's maliciously selling cuteness again.

Really. I just finished thinking about it. Lian looked pitiful. Ran over and tugged at Luke's sleeve. Luke's face was cramping when he saw it. I had to turn around and take out two pieces of leftovers from the box where the alloy parts had just been placed.

Seeing two palm-sized pieces in Luke's hands. Two boxy pieces of bright yellow alloy. Lian and Andrea immediately came over. The little hand went straight to Luke's hand. "Oops. Wait a minute. It's okay to give it to you. But you have to make sure you don't tell anyone about the fact that it's in the engine. You know. ”

"Uh-huh. Definitely won't tell anyone. Rest assured, hosts. ”

"Yes, Admiral. I won't tell anyone. ”

Both of them nodded in response. But his eyes didn't leave the two pieces of alloy in Luke's hand at all. All right. Let's believe these two guys once. Let's hope they don't leak out. In case I let Nanbu or Akagi know. God knows if these two guys will just bite his new engine.

Divide the things in your hand between the two. Luke raised his hand and touched their heads. The two didn't care at all. All of them were carefully bitten in small bites. The two sturdy alloys immediately had two neat tooth marks on them.

"Alright. Let's all go play. I'll go to dinner myself in a moment. He waved his hand at the two of them. They don't need their help for the rest of the work. The elves and himself will be able to do it.
