Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 280: The Blue Ice Ship

The next day, on the early morning coast that still stands in the morning, there are many faces of the White Deer Monastery.

Wadatsumi Offshore - officially known as the "Blue Sea of Swordfish", but often simply called "Offshore” by players - in the morning, a thick mist from the fog forest flows in and the visibility becomes poor.

There are not many people who like to leave the ship in such a situation, so there are few signs of people around.

"Wow...What are you doing so early this morning?

"It's already noon, isn't it?

Well, listen, I'm surprised.Yesterday I was able to get Lacto and Amy to help me prepare for the battle. "

"Really!?--But this is the beach, right?

Instead of having to go to the port district of Waddatsumi, Toka looks toward the town.

In front of the confused girls, the three of us, Lacto and Amy, smiled with our good faces.

"Fufu, but what the hell!

You can't do that in the harbor district.

"Rather, it has to be here."

Faced with what you just said, we'll get ready to sail.

First, I'll set up a tent on the beach.

"'Setting up a campsite'"

"This is... a tent I've never seen before, right?

On the sandy beach is a white cubic tent similar to the Ship Management Office.

Based on white steel containers, it is customized to focus on the effect amount rather than the effect range.

"It's still here."Area Designation"

Drive the pile around the tent.

This one is also painted white to match the color, but the function itself is not particularly different from the one used to designate the area of the skill.

"Trap installation", "Large ray gun", "Shooting device"

In the area separated by piles, there is one gun seat equipped with a large ray gun, such as one installed on the defensive wall of Susano in front of the tent, and two large crossbows (baristas) guarded by two baristas on the left and right of the tent.

"Now, Lacto."

"Noooo!

Prestigious salute, Lacto comes forward.

After a familiar pre-self buff, she raised her hands toward the tent.

"'Large Ice Floor', 'Large Ice Wall', 'Machine Operation (Arts Crack): Shape Processing (Model Change)'

Under the tent and the region, huge ice sheets are created by pushing the sand away.

Four more ice walls are formed along the outer edge of the ice sheet, and the floor is lifted high.

Finally, four ice walls were streamlined and shaped into a huge hull.

"This is...."

"Is that an ice ship...?"

Letty and the others were stunned by the sudden rise of a large ship.

Me and Amy reacted the same way when we saw Lacto skillfully manipulate art of this size.

"'Ice Floor' and 'Ice Wall' are very useful arts.I'm glad I collected a bunch of chips. "

Arts, which shaped the ice box into a hull, consisted, as Lacto said, of quite a minor chip.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that this odd scheme was successful because she usually collects a large number of chips.

"Well, Amy's the last one."

I'll take care of it.

And the drawing dragon eyes.

Amy unleashes art on an ice ship.

"'Thick walls (fat walls) of wrapping rejection'"

Her radiant arts wrap the hull with a blue glow.

As soon as the nanomachine particles adhere to the subject, they change shape and properties according to the code.

A few seconds later, there was a ship with robust armor.

Named the dwelling mechanical armored blue iceboat "Mirror" - a combination of me, Lacto, Amy and the three of us.

Blue armor resembling the mid-summer sea reflects the glow of the water surface and glitters gently.

A large vessel that built its hull with Lacto's arts and armored it with Amy's arts, naturally continues to draw huge amounts of LP from both of them.

Therefore, by installing my tent at the center, I covered LP consumption and ensured continuous navigation capability.

It has great stability and ample defense due to its large size.

It is a huge ship that can deploy temporary scaffolding for Letty with more ice and armor from here.

"Well, Mr. Reggie, there's something wrong with this ship."

"What's wrong?

Letty, who was overwhelmed by the ship's presence, noticed and shouted.

"How does this ship work?They don't come from deck, they don't have sails, they don't have screws, they don't have jets. "

"You've found a good place, Mr. Letty."

"Oh, really? That character?"

I tried to dress up a little, but I was simply confused.

I keep my heart strong and keep explaining.

"This ship is a ship, but not a ship.The main element is ice -- more precisely, water art. "

"Er... I mean?

Letty tilts her neck.

In front of such a woman stands a lact with a good face.

"I'm a mechanic specializing in ice attributes.With that, ice and water are within the same attribute range.― ― The (...) circumference (...) of the ship (...) of the (...) water (...) and (...) manipulation (...) to move (...) or (...) to (...). (...) "

Hmm...

"Per the water around you?"

There is an art called "water flow control (hydro operation)".

Water Attributes Classified as offensive arts, it freely moves the water of naturally occurring rivers and lakes.

Some players who are passionate about the so-called “river children" skills often seek to swim faster, a limited technique known to those who know the use place.

That's why they exhibit unparalleled strength in situations where these effects and applications match.

"Let's get on the boat for now."

Take Letty, who is still surprised, to the ship's deck.

Lacto created an ice floor on the side of the ship, built a staircase, and guided everyone.

"Yesterday I just tested a little, so this is actually a virgin voyage."

"Armored. LP supply from the tent is fine."

"There are no problems with tents, traps and various equipment.You can leave anytime. "

Climb up the roof of a box-shaped tent overlooking the surroundings of the ship and Lacto prepares the arts.

The time when the Mirror, which is still on the beach, launches is when the waves approach and wet its feet.

"" Water flow operation (hydro operation) "

The sea water grabs the ship with Lacto's voice.

A huge hull slips through the sand as the waves drag, heading towards the deep ocean.

"Stable posture. No one's been thrown out."

"Alright, let's keep going!

The area around the ship waves high.

The white splash rose and the sea level unnaturally swelled, and the “water mirror” quickly started.

"Wow!?

"I'm afraid there are no handrails or walls on the deck!

The other two screamed with the thread wrapped around the box tent and fixed their body.

Due to its nature, the "mirror” swings up and down when it moves, so if it is not grasped somewhere, it will be thrown.

"I can't help it." Column of Ice (Ice Pillar) "

Lacto uses art from the rooftop of a box-shaped tent transformed into a CIC and attaches an ice fence to the edge of the ship.

It seems that the abundance of LPs and the fact that the ship itself is her arts make it a hassle to do so.

"Nh, letti, toca, combat posture.There's a swarm of twists coming. "

"Do you even know that!?

Letty was surprised at the lactose speaking up from the CIC.

Early in the morning, the sea is thick with fog and poor visibility.

It would be difficult to detect protozoa coming from below the sea surface.

"It's like the benefits of" water flow manipulation, "and I can almost understand what's within the effect range.It's pretty much the same. "

At the same time as her words, the water near the ship bubbles.

A swarm of twisted hammers are beginning to prepare for ejection.

"Maybe that bodypress monster fish will come after this swarm of pigeons."

Is that detection, too?

"No, it's just a guess."

Lacto manipulates the hull as he speaks.

The “Mirror” tilted the bow large enough to align the side of the ship with the direction of travel of the swarm of twisted beams.

"I can assist scaffolding on the ice floor.You can go wild as you want. "

"I see. No matter how much you break it, I'll be relieved."

Letty holds a giant black iron claw and kicks the deck with her tips and toes.

A solid ice floor is sturdy and it is time to withstand her shock.

"Come on, Letty. Next time you do it!

"- Leave it to me!

With the banging sound of water, countless barrels pop out.

Letty and Toka greeted them with a fierce gaze, coming with enough momentum to reach the fairly tall "Mirror” deck.
