Mankind's exploration of the ocean has never stopped. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info was initially based on the mastery of individual swimmers, but then the invention of the oldest form of navigation, the canoe, made it easier to sail inshore. And then there's the invention of the paddle, a tool made of wood that replaces the human arm that humans use to paddle, and if you want to increase the speed of your stroke, that's fine, just increase the number of oars.

History took a huge leap forward with the advent of the multi-row galleys, and a major discovery of magic and the great invention that followed it led to a leap forward in Southelsewell's seafaring skills and beyond.

It was discovered that when two elemental spells of different nature collide, they will produce a huge shockwave, which is not too "sharp" and directly destroys everything around it, but only produces a "wind" effect.

Based on this discovery, a so-called "Collider" was discovered, in which a "genius" fixed two elements in a multi-powered container, causing the elements to collide with each other and directing the shock wave generated by them to one side through the outlet, making it a highly efficient "power source".

Until now, a variety of vehicles, including the "Magic Carriage" and large ships, have been built and used on the basis of these magic items, which have been continuously improved to increase stability and power.

Interestingly, the genius who built the machines that have now benefited thousands of people and made a giant leap forward in Southwell's history was originally intended to create tools for battle. And this thing, which was named the "Elemental Collider" much later, was originally used as a means of long-range attack before it became a power source for vehicles and ships.

This is also the original form of the "Magic Bolt". However, it was soon realized that it was better to directly drive elemental energy to attack, and research discovered ways to transform magical elements more efficiently, so that this most primitive magic gun did not exist long before it was lost to the scrolls of history.

In fact, the above is to tell us that battles and wars do not only bring disaster and suffering, but also that human beings can benefit from the tools or technologies that were originally developed for the purpose of war. ”

"The presentation was on point, Madam Captain. But that's probably not the reason you're calling us here. ”

"Ha, it seems like that, it's easy for me to go on and on when I mention this...... By the way, would you like to hear about the 'sailing ship'?"

At the bottom of the "Blowing Snow" stands a huge two-man machine, which is undoubtedly the "new" elemental collider that serves as the ship's power source - the emphasis on "new" because the Peninsula Alliance is known for its innovation.

In front of the machine, there were a total of nine people, including four team members, standing in the space that was not considered large. Except for poor Uncle Ralph, who was still paralyzed in bed due to seasickness, and on the left were Troy and Vena, and the boy naturally turned his curious gaze to the machine that could sense the elemental changes from it, while the sorceress next to him looked helplessly at Valery, who was standing in front of the huge machine.

She didn't expect that it was not only the same degree of muscle, but that the female captain's "boldness" and "informality" could be exaggerated to the same extent as Ralph, which was really terrifying.

And that's what Moore fears. When he heard that there was a problem with the operation of the ship and needed the help of his own group, the warrior who immediately threw his fellow Northwater, who was a comrade-in-arms, rushed to the scene, did not expect to hear a tirade that sounded very serious and reasonable, but was useless at this time.

So there is a little ironic question.

"If the 'problem' is just that you can't find someone to listen to, then excuse me for leaving. ”

The same thorn in the language is the cold figure "huddled" in the corner of the room alone, the ice elementalist Christopher. Having become even more aloof since reuniting with the crowd in the Lighthouse City, she has locked herself in her room for days, and the girl, whose real identity is the "Self-Discipline Doll", seems to be more difficult to get along with and her words are sharper.

But I don't know if it's what happened in the past few days.

"Hahahaha, I like outspoken guys like you. Beside him, four intricately decorated men who looked more like mages than ordinary crew members, applauded the current Valeries of the House of Cape in the face of Moore and Christopher's "blunt" words.

"Well, it's my fault. You shouldn't be hiding it at a time like this. ”

Frankly admitting her mistake, the female captain, who must have been very affable, finally restrained her look of "not very reliable" and replaced it with a heavy gaze.

"What the hell is going on? We don't know anything about ship operations or anything like that. ”

It was Vina who spoke. As if sensing the change in the atmosphere around her, Troy, who was standing beside her, also took a step forward as the sorceress took a step forward.

It always felt a little funny, and of course, no one would pay attention to his actions at this moment.

The only one who noticed the boy's strange behavior was Christo, but because she looked like a girl on the outside, she was a doll, and the above description couldn't be wrong.

"Hah, that's not the request. ”

As if sighing, Valery's deep voice broke the silence in the cabin, and then the female captain turned her gaze to Troy and Vena.

"I just told you that there is more than one problem, right, ahem, we are facing two problems right now. One of them is that the power of this Collider is some, that, some is insufficient, and it continues to decline. The speed of the ship is slower than before, did you notice?"

Valery's words made the faces of everyone in front of him solemnize, except for Troy.

"Ha, this is something that has never happened before, and the maintenance personnel sent by the Flower Moon Capital before also said that everything is normal...... Ah, let's get down to business, these four people around me are professionals, and they're going to be responsible for trying to figure out what the problem is, so I hope you don't worry too much about it. ”

The four people beside Valerie also nodded their heads as the captain spoke.

"Then, there's another problem that we need to solve...... I think I've had some guesses about what you're trying to say. After Lance's death, Moore, who was the de facto leader of the squad, didn't change much, but the iron-cast warriors basically had this face at all times.

"Well, it seems that you are a person with magical perception. ”

"Aren't you too?"

"No, no, that's a big misunderstanding, ha. Valerie laughed only once, which seemed to illustrate the gravity of the situation on the other hand, "The people of the Captan family are just naturally sensitive to the impending 'disaster'. ”

"Disaster?"

Catastrophe, this is the first time Troy has heard this word.

"While I hope it's not true, my hunch is always accurate. Valery cast a gentle glance at the boy, and then, regaining her seriousness, she said:

"The 'storm' is coming. ”
