Chapter 557: Vajra Wood

The night was uneventful. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The next morning, Roland got up as usual to prepare the spell, washed up and went to the ship's restaurant, and saw Sukhoi and Edric siblings drinking coffee at the table, their faces were extremely heavy, and their hearts were a little uneasy.

"Master Sukhoi, is the maintenance of the airship going well?"

Sukhoi touched his goatee and said with a wry smile: "The rudder has been repaired, the engine failure is more troublesome, major surgery is required, and there is a lack of tools, materials and energy needed for maintenance, if this problem is not solved, the 'Dawn' may not be able to fly." ā€

Roland chuckled in his heart, he was really afraid of something. Putting down the meal and interrogating Sukhoi: "Master, I can't hide it, those students on the ship are in a very bad mood, if the condition of the airship cannot be improved in a short time, forcing them to stay on the ship will only attract more complaints, if you have no other way, I can only send them back to Baigull Harbor first." ā€

Sukhoi, of course, knew that sending them back would be tantamount to declaring the Aurora's maiden voyage a failure, and sighed: "In that case...... The airship company will probably go bankrupt. ā€

"So I need your old man to tell you whether the Aurora is still saved, even if it can't fly for the time being, it can sail on the seas, at least we can sail the ship to Eagle Island and ask Sir Edric for help, where we should be able to get the tools, materials and energy needed to repair the airship, and more importantly, give the overly frightened young people a sense of security." Roland said solemnly.

"You can rest assured that the Aurora has spare masts and sails, and it will sail normally if it is loaded, and if you set off now, ......" Sukhoi turned to look at the morning light outside the porthole, "At most we can reach Eagle Island at dusk today, I am an old friend of Sir Edric, I borrowed the dockyard on the island to work overnight, and I promise to return you a brand new Aurora early tomorrow morning!" ā€

After receiving the old man's assurance, Roland had a smile on his face, "That's no problem, I can convince the students to hold on for two more days, and by the way, a free one-day tour of Eagle Island sightseeing." ā€

Sukhoi scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, there is a small trouble. ā€

"Master, please speak."

"You see, our airship can't fly now, even if it is equipped with sails, it can't change the stranded situation, and the big guy weighing more than 100 tons has to ask a tug to come to the rescue, so now we have to send a letter to Eagle Island for help? This place is more than 200 nautical miles away from Eagle Island, and the tugboat is not as slow as a warship, and the headwind is too late, so I am afraid that it will be dark early when I arrive here. ā€

"More than a hundred tons...... Roland groaned, and as he was thinking, Lyudmila walked into the dining room. The female ranger stretched and inadvertently showed her toned and tall figure, "Ou Luomei, give me three breakfasts." ā€

"Including Mr. Roland's?"

"No, it's all mine."

"Uh...... Yes?! Oh oh oh, okay! The little priest was so frightened by the big sister's astonishing appetite that his tongue knotted, and turned his head and whispered to Antron: "No wonder Miss Lyudmila has grown so tall, look at this amount of food, three times as much as me!" ā€

"What are you talking about, airship?" Lyudmila sat down beside Roland.

"It was a little troublesome, but ......" Roland kissed his girlfriend on the face as a good morning greeting, and said with a smile, "but seeing that you are so energetic, the trouble is solved." ā€

"Talking stupid things early in the morning, you haven't woken up yet, have you?" The giantess gave him a shy, disgusted look.

Roland turned to Sukhoi and said, "Master, I'll take care of the run-and-running airship, and we'll go install the mast and sails after breakfast." ā€

"Well, I hope you really have a way." The old man replied with some skepticism.

After a hurried breakfast, the Edric siblings each carried a large suitcase and followed Roland and Sukhoi to the top of the airship.

"Here, here, and there, just unscrew the bolts and stick the mast in." Sukhoi gave orders, and Roland and Edric, brother and sister, did as he was told, unscrewing three bolts as thick as an adult's thigh, and sure enough, they saw the black hole in the mast slot, which was measured to be four feet deep.

These three slots were reserved when the airship was built, and the corresponding structure inside the airship was three metal columns, which at first glance appeared to be solid, but in fact the columns were hollow and designed for the installation of masts.

Roland couldn't help frowning when he saw Jennifer open a large suitcase and take out several fir sticks from it: "Wouldn't it be too short to put these wooden sticks together into a mast?" ā€

Jennifer shook her head and chuckled: "The mast that was spliced together is too fragile, and it will be blown off when the wind is a little stronger, so it is not used at all, and our mast is one-piece." ā€

Roland picked up a wooden stick and looked at it, wondering: "Four-foot-long mast, are you kidding?" ā€

"Hehe, you'll find out later."

Jennifer picks up a wooden stick and inserts it into the card slot, which reminds Roland of a joke, "A toothpick is stuffed into the chimney", which is too thin compared to the diameter of the card slot.

Sukhoi rubbed his hands, recited the incantation, and made a spell casting gesture, locking onto the wooden stick that had fallen deep into the card slot and casting a three-ring arcane "disengagement".

Swish! With a flash of arcane light, the wooden rod suddenly expanded, rising from the slot and soaring into the sky, turning into a mast nearly 20 meters long, stuffing the slot tightly.

Seeing this scene, Roland suddenly realized. It turns out that this mast was made of a tall fir plant, and it used to look thin and short, and it was "shrinking" by applying "shrinkage". This 3-ring transformation spell reduces the size of the mast to 1/16 and makes it easy to carry around in a leather case.

Zehir climbed the mast, attached the crossbar, then flipped and leaped down, took a scroll from the storage bag, chanted a spell to activate the spell, and a beam of magical brilliance was released from the scroll, gilding the mast with a pale gold sheen and a metallic texture.

Roland opened the "Pupil of Destiny" to identify it, and confirmed that it was not an illusion, and that the wooden mast had indeed acquired the properties of steel, thanks to the 5-ring druid magic "King Kong Wood" that Zehir had just cast.

Druids are known to be limited by their faith to wear metal armor, and usually do not choose pure metal as weapons, but this weakens their defense and combat effectiveness. To compensate for this shortcoming, the druids developed a special magic that temporarily strengthened the wood, making it as hard as steel. In this way, the problem of the inability to coexist with steel at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is solved, and the coat woven by soft plants such as bamboo, rattan, and reeds is held, and the wooden knife is held, and after blessing the "Vajra wood", it will be transformed into armor and weapons that are not inferior to steel, and will not be ignited by flames like iron products, while retaining the natural characteristics of wood products.

Zehir blessed the mast with "adamantium", giving it the toughness of fir and the hardness of steel, so that even when sailing in storms, there is no need to worry about being blown off. (To be continued.) )
