Chapter 525: Krusha's Secret

A fulfilling and passionate day passed quietly, and the night fell like a huge piece of black silk, gently covering the boundless ocean.

Under the caress of the bright moonlight, the "Flying Ship" seemed to be covered with a layer of glittering silver yarn, flying slowly at a low altitude, with the bottom of the ship almost touching the sea surface. Strong downward airflow whistled out, blowing up layers of white waves on the sea water, like a group of agile and jumping elves playing happily under the ship.

Helot lay comfortably on the fence of the bow, fully immersed in the charming scenery that belongs to the Misty Islands. The Endless Sea plane has three moons, and the soft moonlight shines against each other, making the sea surface at night not dim and obscure. Through the clear sea water, you can clearly see the marine creatures below that are full of strange lights. Their light echoes with the bright stars in the sky, like a dream, which makes people involuntarily fall into this colorful world full of endless changes and charm.

At this moment, a slender figure quietly came to Helot's side. Then, a glass of beer full of fine bubbles and exuding a unique aroma was handed to him.

Helot turned around and saw that it was Korusha. He took the beer with a smile and said, "Thank you."

But Lusa also leaned on the guardrail and looked towards the place where the sea and the sky meet in the distance. There seemed to be countless stories hidden in her eyes. She said softly: "I should thank you. Not only did you save all of us in times of crisis, but you also repaired the wind element generator of the Flying Ship. At this rate, I think we will be able to reach the Three-Headed Dragon Island smoothly by dawn."

Helot took a sip of beer, and a faint smell of seaweed instantly spread on the tip of his tongue. At first, the taste was really a bit strange. However, as the smell gradually dissipated in the mouth, it was replaced by a different kind of refreshing feeling. After slowly getting used to it, he felt that the taste had a different flavor.

He held up his glass and asked, "How is Albert doing now?"

Speaking of the white dragon Albert, Krosa's expression instantly dimmed. She couldn't help but sigh and said worriedly, "We used some potions and finally made it fall asleep. But now its condition is still not optimistic. I really don't know if it can wake up smoothly tomorrow. Sigh... I am full of regrets now. If I hadn't thought of capturing and taming it and making it a flying dragon of the Rum tribe, perhaps so many bad things would not have happened."

But Lusa knew very well that with the current strength of the "Flying Ship", it would never be able to confront the powerful Lum tribe head-on. They were lucky to win this time, purely due to luck, but who can guarantee that they will have such good luck next time? Thinking of this, her eyes were full of helplessness and confusion.

Helot pondered for a moment and gave his own suggestion: "Perhaps you can seriously consider joining the Hunters. Once you join, the Flying Ship and Albert will receive strong protection from the Hunters, and the Lum Tribe should have some concerns."

"But..." Kelusha hesitated. She had her own reasons for not joining the Hunters. But looking at the current serious situation, it seemed that there was no better choice. She hesitated for a moment and said, "I will apply to join the Hunters when I return to the Three-Headed Dragon Island. In fact, the Hunters invited us a long time ago. After all, there are very few people in the Misty Islands who own an airship like the 'Flying'."

Following Krusha's words, Helott threw out the doubts in his heart: "There is one thing that I find very strange. I just had the opportunity to see some of the internal structure of the 'Flying'. Its design can be described as exquisite, and every detail shows a very high level of craftsmanship. Of course, this also means that the difficulty of building it is beyond imagination, and the materials required are even more precious and rare.

Based on my current preliminary understanding of the Misty Islands, the level of technology and resources here does not seem to be capable of building such an aerial spacecraft... Perhaps my understanding of the Misty Islands is not deep enough."

Part of Helot's knowledge of airships comes from the database on the player discussion platform.

He knew that building an airship required a very special alchemical material called "Golden Fuse". The manufacturing method of this material had been lost three hundred years ago. Because of this, the stock of "Golden Fuse" in the entire plane of the Endless Sea is now a fixed value. Scarcity makes things valuable, which also makes its price extremely high. But Lusa and her team did not look like a wealthy force, so how did they own such a "limited" edition airship?

The bad mood seemed to make Klusha particularly talkative. She said slowly: "The 'Flying' is the legacy left to me by my father. He was once a fearless navigator. During an expedition, he accidentally discovered a severely damaged airship. So he dismantled the ship and took out the only remaining 'Golden Fuse' inside. Later, in order to realize his dream of building an airship of his own, he borrowed a large sum of money from the Hunters and successfully built the 'Flying' in Nelson."

Helot listened to Klusha's story and guessed something in his heart. He asked tentatively, "The money should not have been returned to the Hunters' Association yet, right?"

Butrosa nodded sadly and said, "My father passed away before he could see the completed Flying Ship. And I... was not good at business, suffered setbacks one after another, and lost all the money I paid for the goods. I had no choice but to make money by catching dragons and taking on some odd commissions to pay off my debts. Now you should understand why I was reluctant to join the Hunters' Guild before? Once I join, many things will no longer be under my control, and I will most likely lose the ship my father left me."

Helot looked at the strong but slightly tired island girl beside him, and couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart. She was so young, but she had to shoulder a heavy burden that shouldn't belong to her age. Maybe when she faced the Rum tribe and decided to capture the white dragon first, she was just thinking about using the white dragon to make money as soon as possible to pay off the debt.

But who could have expected that the development of things would gradually get out of her control.

Helot kept reminding himself in his heart: This is not your business. He came here to help Dorothea defend Torch Island. His faction is the undead, so he should not get too involved in these complicated things.

"I am a human from the Holy Continent, so I am afraid I can't help you much. Let's not talk about these sad things." Helot tried to change the subject and said, "You also saw Thunderstorm today. It was a very good flying dragon. As a dragon catcher, are you interested in trying to catch it?"

As Helot expected, the topic of thunderstorm successfully attracted Klusha's attention and temporarily brought her out of her depressed mood.

Kolusha narrowed her eyes slightly, her eyes flashing with excitement. "Every dragon hunter has a dream of catching Thunderbolt, but I know that this is almost an impossible task... Today, Thunderbolt accidentally fell into the wind element confinement zone, which is definitely an extremely low probability accident. Next time, it will not fall into such a trap easily. For a powerful flying dragon like Thunderbolt, let the Rum tribe and the hunters take care of it. Only they can organize a large-scale manpower to conduct all-round monitoring and detailed inspections of the areas where Thunderbolt often moves."

Helot didn't intend to give up the topic. He smiled and said, "I think we can still give it a try. After all, the commission I gave you requires you to go out to sea to catch dragons frequently. Maybe one day you'll be lucky enough to encounter a thunderstorm?"

But Lusa became more and more interested in this topic. As she just said, "Every dragon catcher wants to catch a thunderstorm."

"Although my mind tells me that it is almost impossible to catch it, it is still possible if I think about it. The speed of the thunderstorm is too fast. If we simply compete in speed, we will definitely not be able to catch up with that guy. Therefore, we may try to analyze its flight path and then infer its habitat.

The place where it appeared today was Pearl Reef, and the direction it flew away was..."

As soon as she entered her professional field, Kalusha immediately became energetic and started talking eloquently.

She analyzed clearly that Thunderstorm was a very young dragon. In today's battle, it was injured and frightened. In this case, the place it subconsciously wanted to go was most likely its habitat.

Then, based on the direction it flew away today, we can roughly determine a path for investigation. As long as we can find traces of thunderstorms many times in the future, we can gradually narrow down the scope of its habitat.

But Lusa became more and more excited as she spoke. She secretly made up her mind that once the Flying Ship was ready, she would go out to sea along this line, capturing the ordered dragons while looking for clues of Thunderstorm. She thought that if she really found Thunderstorm, even if she only sold the information about its habitat, it would be enough to repay the huge debt owed by the Flying Ship.

"If the repair of the 'Flying' takes too long, I will rent a ship and go out to sea. I will definitely not delay the delivery of the flying dragon you ordered. By the way, do you think the wind element generator is seriously damaged?" Kolusha suddenly remembered the wind element generator and turned to ask Helot.

Helot said confidently: "I don't think the problem is serious, and as long as I have the corresponding materials, I can fix it."

Helot has a high level of attainment in the field of mechanical repair and maintenance, and is confident in his technical level. In addition, he has a strong interest in the structure of this magical "Flying" and wants to study it further.

"That's great! I can save a lot of money on repairs!" Hearing that Helot could help repair the wind element generator, Lusa was very happy. She quickly said, "Of course, Master Helot, you have helped me so much, I will definitely pay you a reasonable price for the repairs."

In Kulusa's opinion, the cost of having a friend help with the repairs would definitely be much cheaper than those unscrupulous repair shops. After all, she was in huge debt now, and she had to count every penny carefully, and every penny saved was a penny earned.

Helot smiled and said, "If you are willing to let me take a closer look at the overall structure of the 'Flying', I can help you repair it for free, and even add some practical functions to your ship... What do you think of its current sailing method?"

After hearing this, Lusa curiously looked under the boat and said with a puzzled look on her face: "I have never seen such a strange way of sailing. It seems to be out of the water, but it seems not to have completely left. How is it done?"

Helot patiently explained, "I changed the direction of some wind fields and created a high-pressure area under the ship. In this way, although the ship's sailing speed is not as fast as flying in the air, the energy consumption will be much lower. When we return to Three Dragon Island, I can design a wind conversion structure specifically for your ship. By then, it will not only be faster, but also consume less energy and save more money."

"Really?" But Lusa widened her eyes with surprise. She really couldn't believe that Helot had such a magical skill.

"Of course it's true." Helot nodded. In order to increase the credibility of his words, he explained to Korusa in detail the principle of this wind field pressure pad.

But Lusa listened with great interest and asked some questions from time to time, and Helot answered them patiently one by one.

In this way, the two of them chatted back and forth, from thunderstorms to the Flying Ship, from flying dragons to magic. Unconsciously, the sky gradually brightened. In the distance, the familiar outline of the Three-Headed Dragon Island appeared in everyone's sight as expected.

The "Flying" slowly sailed into the port, and a new story was about to begin here.

……

Soon, the heroic deeds of Helot and Milica fighting against the dragon knights of the Rum tribe spread throughout the Dragon Claw Beach like a gust of wind.

Zeke and the human warriors who witnessed the fierce battle were like a group of fanatical believers, tirelessly telling everyone they met about the wonderful battle scene.

In this world where strength is respected, people always respect the strong. The glorious record of Helot and Mirika defeating many with fewer people and killing seven flying dragons was enough to make everyone on Dragon Claw Beach remember their names deeply.

Especially when they are in battle, they can spread out their dazzling wings of light like angel wings. Coupled with their amazingly powerful strength, countless people feel admiration for them and choose to join the Angel Rodrigo's team.

As a result, the team, which already had an advantage in numbers, became even larger, which undoubtedly weakened the team strength of Mendes and Wood invisibly.

The Hunters have always hoped that Dragon Claw Beach could elect a recognized leader to better coordinate the distribution of supplies and conduct subsequent combat command.

The appearance of Helot and Milica undoubtedly brought tremendous pressure to Mendes and Wood.

At this time, Helot did not yet know what changes his arrival had brought to the Dragon Claw Beach Camp and even the entire Three-Headed Dragon Island.

He was completely immersed in the repair and in-depth research of the spacecraft and almost forgot his original intention and mission of coming to the Misty Islands.

The complex and magical internal structure of the airship was like a treasure full of endless mysteries, constantly attracting Helot to explore. Helot also deeply understood how vast and profound magic was. He once thought he had a very deep understanding of magic, but within a few days of arriving in the Endless Sea plane, he found that he had been too arrogant before.

Learning magic is addictive!

There is also the magical and unreplicable alchemical product of "Golden Fuse", which makes Helot marvel. As the main material for the main structure of the airship, it has a high attraction to the wind element, and in this regard, no other material can compare with it.

The "golden fuse" is more than ten times thinner than a strand of hair, and is so light that it seems to have no weight. According to Helot's estimation, the total amount of "golden fuse" used in the entire "Flying" is probably less than three grams.

Helot couldn't help but think that the Tomorrow Group is now conducting trial work on the fourth-generation mechanical cyborg, and Xingkong's physical upgrade has naturally been included in his important agenda.

Among the various upgrade designs of Xingkong, high-speed flight is an extremely important technical indicator. If the technology of the airship can be introduced into Xingkong's new body, it will undoubtedly bring him an unprecedented flying experience.

With this idea in mind, Helot modified and optimized the "Flying" while carefully drawing and taking notes, striving to master the core principles of this advanced technology more quickly and accurately.

The joy of learning made him seem possessed, and he devoted himself completely to this work. However, just when he was immersed in it and forgot everything else, a fierce quarrel suddenly came from outside the cabin, abruptly interrupting his train of thought.

Mirika walked into the cabin and reported to Helot: "The hunters have arrived, and they are arguing fiercely with Captain Klusha."

Helot frowned, stopped what he was doing, and asked, "What's the reason?"

If this matter has nothing to do with him, he really doesn't want to meddle in it. After all, his mind is now focused on the research of the "Flying".

Milika shook her head: "I'm not sure about the details, do you want to go and take a look?"

Helot hesitated for a moment, but finally put down the pen in his hand and stood up: "Go and have a look."
