Chapter 646: Launching

When the materials were gathered, the old shipwright finally got up from his chair, walked through the messy room, came to a door by the south window, and took the key from his bosom and opened the locked door.

With the sound of a heavy door, the door opened, and a large number of tools were lined up in the room, huge saws, hammers, chisels, and planers, which, although locked in the storeroom, were all polished and shiny.

"I didn't expect... and one day to hold them to work..."

The old shipwright Ramoro felt a lot of emotion, and the emotions in his eyes were complicated.

Everyone in the "Wind Forest Volcano" looked at each other, and while they were very surprised by the level of AI sophistication of this old shipwright, they thought to themselves that after this task was announced by them, this old man would probably be busy.

After all, once other players learn about this task, there is absolutely no reason not to do it, swimming in the costume of "swimsuit + swimming ring", how can it be comfortable to come by boat?

The old man went into the storeroom and walked around, then took out a large scroll and spread it out on the table, it was a white parchment.

"Decide what type of ship you want to make."

As soon as the old boatman's voice fell, a purple window appeared in front of Ling Ze's eyes, which was full of text input fields and drop-down menus, this was the design sketch of the gondola, and Ling Ze could make any changes he wanted.

"Let's discuss the shape, color, and name of the ship."

Ling Ze sent the task list to the team members, although the task was completed by them together, but this kind of operation authority was generally in the hands of the team leader.

"The colors are set freely through the RGB hue ring, and there are many colors to choose from, what do you think?"

Ling Ze asked, he didn't have any requirements for this.

"emmm~ I think the boat shouldn't be able to put it in the inventory, probably to stop at the place where the boat disembarks, etc., so it's better to choose a color that is easy to see at night, such as white or orange."

Kirito once again put forward a very constructive suggestion, and everyone naturally chose to adopt it, so there were not many colors to choose from, and everyone chose ivory white after discussion.

After choosing the color of the hull, a long side menu of decorative parts, seats, and other colors jumped out, which made Ling Ze and the others a little big in an instant, only Asuna's eyes were still shining.

"Asuna, the design is up to you."

Ling Ze and the others reached an agreement in an instant and handed over this task to Asuna, and Asuna accepted it directly without twisting, she was indeed very interested in building a ship.

Ling Ze transferred the position of captain to Asuna, and then found a place to sit down in the room with the others.

"It has always taken about three times as long to help young girls build ships, and you shouldn't be like that."

After Asuna took control of the choice, Ramara, the old shipwright, who had been waiting patiently, muttered quietly.

"Hehe......"

Everyone laughed awkwardly, and Kirito nodded, looking like he had learned, and he didn't know what he had learned, so he couldn't have learned that he shouldn't let girls make decisions, right?

By the time all the details had been finalized, an hour and a half had passed, and Asuna's efficiency was still slightly faster, at least not really three hours.

"Finally, it's the name of the ship, and I have an idea."

An hour and a half of delicate work did not wear down Asuna's energy, she was still in good spirits, but Ling Ze, who had been waiting for an hour and a half, had gradually lost her motivation and enthusiasm.

"Listen to you."

Ling Ze said that he just wanted to complete this task quickly.

"How about naming Miss Kizmel after her sister? Isn't it common for ships to be named after people? The Ternier? Not a bad name, isn't it? I think we can give this ship to Miss Kizmer as a gift when we're done with the Elven War. ”

Asuna's words made everyone a little surprised, it seems that Asuna and Kizmel have a really good relationship, and at this time they can still think of Kizmer's sister.

"Then let's be sure it's the name."

Ling Ze made a decision, and then Asuna directly clicked submit, the purple window disappeared with a rather solemn effect, and then, the parchment spread out by the old man slowly emerged with three views of the designed ship, and at the top of the design drawing that was depicted in a few seconds, "Tilnelle" was written in pitch black ink.

The old shipwright, Ramara, rolled up the parchment with exaggerated movements, and then said to the people:

"I'm going to go down to the studio below to retreat and build a ship, and I'll let you know when I'm done, so you can wait here."

After the old boatman finished speaking, he was about to enter the warehouse with the re-rolled woolen paper, but Ling Ze stopped him in time.

"How long will it take?"

Ling Ze asked Ramoro, if it was a long time, they wouldn't wait here, they could wait until the time was almost up, and it would be a waste of time to wait here.

"About three hours."

Ramoro replied with a frown, looking anxious to go shipbuilding.

"Okay, we'll come back in three hours."

Ling Ze nodded, and let Ramoro enter the warehouse, Ramoro closed the door directly after entering the warehouse, and then a shock was generated, and the warehouse went down directly, and this small warehouse turned out to be an elevator.

"This shipbuilding time really has a game feeling, why does it take months to build a ship in the real world, right?"

Hearing that it only took three hours to build a ship, Klein scratched his head, is this old shipwright Ramoro so efficient?

"Maybe it's some unique trick, the design is so high-tech, maybe shipbuilding is too."

Kirito shrugged his shoulders, this time was very different from his prediction, three hours to build a ship, plus the previous design of an hour and a half, at most four groups of players in a day can do the task.

This is not the kind of task where there will be countless independent spaces, this kind of task in the main block has to queue up.

"Let's go, go out and run other missions, and come back in three hours."

After the old shipwright Ramoro had started construction, Ling Ze left with the others, and they ran on other tasks near the main neighborhood, Lobia, and did not return until three hours later, when the ship had already been built.

"The custom-made ship seems to be finished, let's go to the boatmaker's workshop."

This was the notice they received, but when they arrived at Ramara's house, they did not see the old shipwright.

"I think I'm going down there."

Ling Ze went to open the door of the warehouse as he spoke, and after entering, they saw that there was a pole on the wall that could be pulled down, and this room was really an elevator.

After a violent jolt, the storeroom began to descend, and twenty seconds later, they came to a wide factory.

In front of Ling Ze and them was a very large shipbuilding workshop, the floor and walls were made of solid stones, huge work platforms, wooden cranes, and various large shipbuilding materials were stacked in various parts of the shipbuilding workshop, but this workshop still seemed very wide.

In the center of the shipyard, there is a boat canal, about ten meters wide, filled with clear water, which runs through the floor and extends to the front gate, behind which is the waterway on the street.

The old boatwright, Ramara, was standing on the edge of the canal with his hands on his hips, and in front of him could be seen a graceful ten-seater gondola boat, which glowed pure white in the light of countless oil lamps.

It is about 20 meters long and about 2 or 3 meters wide, and the whole shape is slender, the hull is ivory white with a bright luster, the stern and bow are decorated with deep forest green, and the interior of the ship, including the seats, is a calm brown system, the angle of attack at the bow is hidden under the water, and the name of the ship is written in fluent letters on the side of the ship, the name Tillnelle.

"Great, thank you for helping us build such a great boat, Mr. Ramoro."

Asuna was very pleased, she leaned in to look left and right, obviously very satisfied with her design.

"No thanks, it's been a long time since I've built such a satisfying ship, hmph, if you just sink it, then I won't spare you!"

The old shipwright stroked his beard and explained to Ling Ze and them solemnly.

"Don't worry! Mr. Ramara, we have gone to great lengths to collect the materials for this boat! So we'll take good care of it, thank you, grandpa! ”

Asuna is very excited, this new experience is constantly stimulating her nature, the past routine life was too depressing, and now she is liberating little by little.

The old shipwright Ramoro showed a happy expression, and then gently "snorted" with his nose, he took a step back, and let the "Tirnelle" out for Ling Ze and them to approach.

"Now that the boat is yours, I'll open the water gate, and you can row it away."

The old shipwright Ramoro said this, and the expression on his face was very satisfied.

"Good!"

Asuna replied energetically, and then jumped directly onto the "Tilnelle", and Ling Ze, Kirito, Klein and others followed one after another and boarded the new ship together.

The old shipwright Ramoro opened the water gate, and the sunlight shone out of the water gate, bringing more light to the shipbuilding workshop lit by oil lamps.

“......”

"Why don't you leave?"

After opening the water gate, the old shipwright Ramoro began to urge Ling Ze and them, because Ling Ze and they did not act.

"Isn't it? Is it this kind of setting where you need to draw it yourself? ”

Kirito and Klein were all surprised, obviously not expecting that this boat would have to be rowed by themselves.

"Isn't that a matter of course? Otherwise, who will row? ”

The old boatsmith's face was inexplicable, he felt that these people were afraid that there was something wrong, could it be that they still wanted him to row?

"Ah......h

Kirito and the others were speechless for an instant, as if it was really the case, of course their own boat was their own boatman.

"Let's go, let's go, isn't there an operating instruction?"

Ling Ze urged with a smile, he was already in place, the method of operating the boat on the manual is not too complicated, lean the oar forward and slide it to move forward, standing upright is braking, backward and sliding is backwards, falling right is turning right, falling left is turning left, this kind of rowing operation can already be said to be very simplified, and such a large boat only needs one person to operate.

"Can it really work?"

Looking at Ling Ze, who was standing in the driver's seat and had already picked up the oar, Kirito and Klein were all trembling.

"Believe me, don't forget what I used to do, just rowing, I've driven a Gundam and I'm still afraid of rowing?"

Ling Zebi made a gesture of reassurance, and then asked them to sit down quickly, although they were still very worried in their hearts, but even if they fell into the water, they couldn't die, so Kirito and Klein finally sat down peacefully.

"Let's go! Brother Ling Ze! ”

Asuna has a lot of trust in Ling Ze, and of course, it may be the reason why she wants the "Tilnelle" to sail too much.

"Let's go."

Ling Ze nodded, and then directly steered the "Tirnelle" out of the water gate, the gondola boat moved forward very steadily, and there was no problem at all as Kirito and Klein were worried about, which made them also relieved.

The Tilnelle sailed straight out of the water gate, slowly turning and merging into the waterway of the main neighborhood of Lobia.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the "Tilnelle" shook, which made Kirito and Klein, who had just put their hearts down, nervous again.

"Don't worry, it's a ramming, I forgot there's another one."

Ling Ze reassured that he had just ignored the length of the "Crash Angle", so he didn't turn in time, causing the "Crash Angle" to rub against the shore wall, and the "Crash Horn" of the "Tilnelle" was the "Flame Bear's Horn", and this kind of impact was nothing at all.

"Hit the horns...... Is there really a need for such a thing? ”

Hearing Ling Ze's explanation, everyone settled down again, and the matter had come to this point, and they could only trust Ling Ze's technique.

"If you're just riding the streets of Robia, you don't need that kind of thing, but if you're going to paddle out of town, you might be able to use it."

Kirito replied that he thought it was still possible to fight the monsters with a boat, after all, there were waterways outside the town, and there might be monsters in the waterways that would attack them.

"Whether you can use it or not, it's always better than nothing, otherwise if you need to use it, it's too bad if you don't have it."

Asuna answered, she felt that it was important to plan ahead, you can't usually use this kind of function, but you can't use it when you need it, it's very important.
