Chapter 299: True Dragon Etiquette: Parting
The height of this huge longship, which is more than a kilometer long, rises like a huge Great Wall.
Its exterior walls were immaculate, with no dirt in sight, and the dragon's head on the bow was hideous, like a monster ready to pounce on it.
"It's really really. Boat? ”
Tina's mouth grew into an O-shape, and she muttered as she looked at the silver-white behemoth in front of her in amazement.
As the granddaughter of the Golden Dragon King, Tina hadn't seen a bigger ship, but she couldn't help but be shocked in the face of the behemoth in front of her.
In Tina's impression, super-giant ships of this level basically exist in legendary fleets used to sail in the astral plane.
It was an alternative war beast, mostly made from the corpses of starry sky monsters and bionic technology.
For example, the once famous [Star Pirate Regiment] in the astral realm, this terrifying fleet composed of the remnants of the Mind Flayer plundered across the planetary realm for hundreds of years, until they angered the dragon god: Lady of Mercy Tamara, and then they were wiped out by the angry silver dragon god.
All of the ships of the Star Pirates are special biological warships made from the volutes left behind by the death of a giant starry creature shaped like a conch, plus the rest of the materials.
This particular ship can even use some of the Volute owner's abilities during his lifetime!
The main cannon of the floating fleet of that level only needs one hit to kill an unsuspecting legendary powerhouse! They are very different from the "ship" defined by the main material realm!
Now, a purely mechanical giant ship that is completely dependent on the water has appeared in front of Tina and the others, and its visual impact makes it difficult for ordinary people to calm down.
Even a broad-eyed person like Tina reacts in this way, and the expressions of others can be imagined.
Raya, Fran, Instant, and even Bill, who had never had a sense of presence, raised their heads to carefully observe the beast floating on the surface of the sea.
Under the sunlight, the appearance of the giant ship shimmers with a silvery white light, like a huge jewel inlaid in the ocean, and the hull of the ship stands tall and towering, as if a giant has descended into the world, giving people a feeling of looking up at the mountains.
The surface of the giant ship is covered with shiny metal, like a huge reflective mirror, reflecting all the shocked expressions of the people clearly.
"Oh my God, what's that?"
"Lake, hit me, I'm not dreaming, am I? Is that a ship the size of a village? ”
"Whew!! Damn, what are you pinching me! ”
"It's not what you said"
Not far away, the members of the caravan who were bustling and resting here also discovered this behemoth at this moment.
They had been obscured by the hidden magic of the giant ship, and they had no idea that such a "monster" existed around them.
At this moment, they all looked around, and they didn't do business, just stared blankly at the silver-white hull, and their jaws were about to fall in shock.
It's a pity that Julia's guards prepared in advance stopped them, otherwise this group of boat runners would have to get closer and see what this giant ship looks like.
"This. Is it the gift you are talking about? ”
Ron's neck stiffened a little and turned his head little by little, looking at Julia who was smiling beside the boat.
"As you can see~"
Julia smiled and nodded.
She turned around and gently stroked the hull, her eyes full of nostalgia:
"The dwarves gave it the ugly name Dominoz, meaning the place where the sun rises, but I prefer to call it the Black Pearl."
"This ship is the best craftsman in Vitas City that I have gathered, and through the repair of the [Titan]-level keel obtained from the excavation of the ancient dragon ruins last year, plus various precious materials, it should be the first and only Titan-class warship in the entire Karen plane at present."
Hearing the word Titan, Ron couldn't help but pout his lips in disdain: "Why isn't it called Dragon?" ”
"I don't know, that's what the dwarves told me."
Julia spread her hands: "If you don't like it, you can also change the name of it yourself." ”
"Well, forget it."
Ron scratched his head, he wasn't really good at naming names, and he was a bit of a tangle of choice.
Julia nodded, and continued to talk under the hull of the boat, which was hundreds of meters high:
"This ship is 1204.5 meters long, the waterline is 140 meters long, the width of the side is 340 meters, the ultimate speed is more than 360 knots (about 660 kilometers per hour), and the whole ship is equipped with a magic core gas power conversion device, if you want this big guy to move, you have to burn more than 1 fifth-order magic core energy every hour."
"Ahem."
It's okay to listen to other data, but when it comes to the kinetic energy consumption, Ron still can't help but cough when he hears that this ship consumes so many gold coins per hour.
He suddenly felt that it would be a good choice for him to go overland.
[Black Pearl] This thing is big, and it burns money!
And Julia also saw Ron's entanglement, and hurriedly said with a smile:
"Don't worry, I've paid all the money for your round-trip journey, and there are more than a thousand high-level demon cores in the current storage warehouse, which is enough for you to use it for a while."
"With it, you can reach the Ibi Forest in three days, and when you come back, if you don't have a place to put it, you can also let the Black Pearl dock at the port of Vitas, and I will send someone to maintain it for you for free."
Hearing this, Ron suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great." ”
Without any worries, he suddenly became interested in this giant ship:
"Shall we go up and have a look?"
"Don't worry, let's take a look at your crew first."
Julia smiled and clapped her palms, then shouted in the direction of the ship's deck:
"Come out and meet your captain."
Boom.
In an instant, hundreds of sailors, dressed in uniform blue and white clothing, emerged from various parts of the ship's equipment.
They skillfully placed the hundred-meter-long metal ladder hanging next to the boat, and walked quickly to Ron and the others to gather.
Looking at their uniform movements, it is obvious that they have all undergone professional training.
"You're so sweet, Warren is blessed."
Ron looked at Julia's back, and couldn't help but sigh that the other party was really thinking about it, and even the crew was ready.
"It's an honor to compliment you."
Julia lifted her azure dress with both hands, smiled and bent down.
At this time, the sailors also stood in a row in front of everyone, and saluted Ron and the others in a uniform manner:
"Hello host!"
When they saluted, they didn't forget to secretly observe the colorful true dragon in the lead.
The first mate of the orcs standing at the front glanced at Ron, then quickly lowered his head, thinking to himself:
"I didn't expect [Dominoz] to have a new owner who would be a dragon, but it doesn't seem surprising that it's worth it."
It is worth mentioning that these sailors are basically females, 90% of them are non-human races, and even the co-captain is a half-beast woman in her 50s.
(No way, there are not many human female sailors, but the sturdy race of orcs will agree to the recruitment request of a certain blue dragon in order to support their families.) )
"Okay, good, very energetic."
"You don't need to call the master, just call me captain."
Ron nodded and smiled with satisfaction, causing Tina to roll her eyes:
"Damn the big satyr, it looks like Tina has to do justice tonight."
After enjoying the attention, Ron and the others followed the crew onto the deck and began to tour the giant ship.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, the waves crashed against the ship, making a dull rumbling sound.
The wind was blowing through Tina's long blonde hair, with a faint salty taste.
In the distance, several small boats, escorted by ships, could be seen circling the surrounding waters so that they could be ready to depart, while the rest of the sailors, dressed in white, were busy entertaining the lord's guests on deck.
Rows of neat portholes on both sides of the hull reveal the spacious and bright interior of the cabin.
"Oh my God, there's a special observation deck here!"
Raya stood on the seventh floor of the Black Pearl and shouted to the people below.
On either side of her are neat rows of portholes, revealing the spacious and bright interior of the cabin.
In the middle of the hull there are several levels of open-air observation decks, covered with blue umbrellas and comfortable loungers, where you can stand and enjoy a magnificent view of the entire harbor and the ocean.
Just as everyone was curiously wandering around, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in Ron's mind.
"How, are you happy with your crew?"
Ron was stunned for a moment, subconsciously turned his head, and just met the blue dragon beside the boat.
Warren winked at Ron and made an all-it-yes gesture.
Looking at his head-scratching face, Ron didn't have to think about it to know who was saying that sentence in his head.
"Okay, you're Warren, and you've learned bad about feelings."
Ron looked at the crew members who looked good in the real dragon aesthetic, and the corners of his mouth twitched a little.
The next second, he hid from Tina and secretly gave a thumbs up behind his back.
"Well done!"
Just when there was a tacit smile between the two dragons.
Suddenly, Julia's figure slowly floated from the observation deck on the upper floors to the deck.
Seeing Julia walking this way, Ron and Warren coughed in tacit agreement at the same time, instantly shifting the topic of crew gender to the material construction of the deck.
"How does it feel?"
Julia expertly took Warren's hand and turned to look at Ron with a smile and asked.
Ron scratched his head and smiled:
"It's good, if I have to find a drawback, it's probably that the width of this rancid ship is a bit narrow."
As he spoke, Ron measured the size of the open space on the deck, feeling that it was just enough to accommodate his own body, and with a slight movement, his legs could stretch out of the boat.
Hearing this, Julia said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, but this ship was originally made exactly for your size, but due to technical and time constraints, it can only be this size."
"Still, it shouldn't be a problem to let your body sunbathe on deck."
Ron nodded:
"Well, you have a heart."
Julia's attentiveness succeeded in gaining his favor, and it was the first time Ron had received such a valuable gift.
Although Ron usually has a shrunken body in the form of a young dragon, it doesn't mean that he likes this posture very much.
Who wouldn't want to stretch their limbs if they can?
Now, with such a "small boat" that can carry his body, he may be able to show his body and do something he loves when sailing~!
Just as Julia and the others were talking.
Not far away, in the middle of the deck, two young girls were running around the deck to "kill".
Behind them, a graceful golden dragon was slowly following closely behind.
"Help!!" X2
"Hahaha, Raya Fran, you guys run faster, this is today's physical training, and the person I caught up with didn't have a supper tonight!"
Tina had already turned into a golden dragon body, ignoring the amazed gazes of the boatmen around her, chasing the two little apprentices to frolic and play on the deck.
The Black Pearl's hundreds of meters long wide deck, even Tina's 18-meter-long body has reached the length standard of an adult golden dragon, it can completely accommodate her.
Time always passes inadvertently.
In a blink of an eye, it was dusk, and the tour of the [Black Pearl] of Ron and his party finally came to an end.
"Right rudder 35, drain device open, seventh and thirteenth energy compartments activated, all pay attention, ready to go!"
The orc co-captain stood in the command room, shouting orders over the microphone.
When the crew heard the command of the deputy captain, they began to draw and prepare for the voyage.
They methodically began to tidy up the deck, putting away the tools and belongings used on the ship, and making sure everything was safe and tidy.
Some sailors climbed below deck to check the power settings and storage conditions to make sure the backup energy was working properly.
"Hum—"
The Black Pearl's engines roared, the hull trembled slightly, and the ship began to slowly move away from the docks.
Tina felt a slight tremor under the hull of the boat, and she clenched the armrest, her heart filled with anticipation and excitement.
"Well, leave it at that."
Ron nodded to the two in front of him, then flicked his dragon wings and flew back to the ship.
"Goodbye, Sister Julia, Mr. Warren~~~"
Tina shouted with a loud wave as the crowd spoke.
"Goodbye, safe journey."
Julia and Warren stood on the shore and waved goodbye to the crowd.
Watching Julia and Warren's bodies get smaller and smaller, and the Pearl is getting farther and farther away from the port.
Ron waited for a long time, but still didn't see another familiar figure.
"Didn't you come after all?"
He sighed, remembering what Leah had said last night when she had sneaked into her room.
——————————
"Are you leaving?"
"Hmm."
"Then you must remember to say goodbye."
"Why?"
"Because if you say goodbye, you really say goodbye."
——————————
"The sky is an upside-down sea, and the light is overflowing waves."
"The afterglow of the setting sun is filled with wrinkled clouds."
The voice of a certain blue dragon bard echoes in the air, his voice clear and powerful, conveying hope and courage into the distance.
Ron looked up, his gaze piercing the building.
Eventually, in the window of the highest floor of the Crystal Castle, he saw the familiar maiden.
"Goodbye, Mr. Ron."
The girl waved goodbye softly in the direction Ron had left with red eyes.
She didn't dare to send him.
She was afraid that as soon as she saw him, she would give up all her obsessions and follow him desperately.
After taking a deep look at Leah.
Ron turned his head to look at the man and dragon waving on the shore.
"Hum—"
In an instant, his transfiguration technique was lifted by himself, and an iridescent dragon with a body length of more than two hundred meters appeared on the deck, causing countless humans watching from the shore to exclaim.
Even Fran and the others looked curiously at the iridescent dragon in front of them.
This was the first time they had seen Ron's body up close, and the beautiful colorful scale armor and streamlined body of the iridescent dragon instantly captured everyone's hearts.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on it, making his scales shimmer like a work of art.
Ron flapped his wings, gently bobbing up and down.
"Goodbye."
