Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 328: Wooden ship completion and craftsman

When I logged into the game, everyone had gathered. There were Hokage, Saba Can, Shallow and a few other people I had seen at the zombie event here and there.

Too many people gathered on such short notice...anyway, I took Lily and the others with me to pick up the boat.

""Excuse me for disturbing you. I'm here to pick up the boat"

"Oh! You came. It's finished"

When I was led to it, I found a boat hidden by a cloth.

"I'll show you on my behalf!"

Yug-san said so and grabbed the cloth.

"Let's go, okay? Are you ready for the heart?"

Yes!

The girls answer cheerfully.

"Yes, yes! Great satisfaction! Then, let's go! Ta-da!"

When Yug-san took the cloth, a small sailing boat with a dragon at the bow appeared.

"Oh..."

Uwaa...

Everyone laughed at us because we had the same reaction. This is not an option...but after seeing this boat, I decided to change the name I had decided on.

Enter the name.

Arkwyrm: Rarity 5, Ship, Quality C

Durability: 200

A small wooden boat owned by Liebling. The boat is suitable for navigating narrow waterways such as rivers.

It is not armed and has no offensive capabilities. It is equipped with a small magic engine.

Seeing the name, Yug-san says,

"Arkwyrm...the dragon of the Ark"

Yug-san is right, Ark is the word used in Noah's Ark. Wyrm means dragon. The moment I saw this, I knew this was it.

"It was worth it to have a dragon on the bow"

"Was that Yug-san who made that?"

"That's right. I knew a dragon would suit you, Takuto-kun"

Lily is my first summoned beast.

Then everyone gets on the boat first. I got a briefing from the nice guy shipwright.

"This is a small boat, so it can hold six people. You control the boat in the cockpit. The rudder moves the boat left and right and the up and down levers control the speed. Up to accelerate, down to decelerate"

That's serious.

"I chose the cheapest engine I could find. For a small boat, the cheapest one is sufficient"

Oh? There is such a thing as an engine.

"Haha, of course. There are boats that are controlled by wind magic, but the mainstream is magic engines. If you want a good one, go to Elixir Lapis or Wizard Orb"

I don't know if those two countries come up here...I'd love to go there, but I can't get there very often.

After the explanation, I pay the money. Now this ship is officially ours.

I want to take a test ride as soon as possible, but I haven't been to the Mangrove Forest yet, so I get on Hix from the Lizardman Village and move on.

As the forest comes into view, Hix suddenly loses his balance. Apparently, even Hix can't fly. Then comes the warning info.

The Mangrove Forest beyond this point has become a magic inhibition area. Please be aware that you will not be able to fly or use magic in this field

Not only can't I fly, but I can't use magic either...a hopeless field for mages and such. But I guess if I learn inhibition disable, I'll be able to use it. I can't learn it, so I'll give up.

I looked down and saw Ruin-san and the others, so I went down. Apparently this is the starting point of the Mangrove Forest.

I quickly launch the boat and everyone has the same reaction. See, that's what I'm going to do, they said.

Apparently, we can try out the boat, so I take Lily and the others for a ride. During the trial ride, even if the boat is damaged, it will be restored to its original state. It is also said that the boat will not be attacked by monsters.

It sure is a lot easier to turn a small wheel when you actually drive it. I'm having fun and everyone wants to drive.

Lily drives first. We all sense the punchline and take shelter. As a result, we hit a few bumps here and there and sink. She doesn't disappoint.

"I, Ion-chan! Helpbukubuku"

"Haa...it can't be helped"

After that, everyone tried driving, and the ones who were good were Ion, Ix, Nowa, Ribina, Lian and Bran.

Not good at the boat itself were Setia, Koihi, Wako and Mir.

Those who were not good at driving were Lily, Sephone, Luna and Iyuki. To Luna and Iyuki's credit, they were only tough to pilot because of their lack of height. They were not bad drivers.

"Sephone-chan, you're with Lily!"

It's nice to have a friend. Lily. On the other hand, Sephone is in a hurry.

"Wa, Wait for me! I just got a little carried away earlier! I demand a do-over!"

Don't do it. We were desperate, we saw it, we knew best.

After that, everyone who had gathered also took a test ride. Since we are here, let's see how everyone maneuvers the boat.

Some were enjoying the boat at full throttle, while others were driving safely. Here comes Shallow-san, who was riding beautifully with the engine running at full throttle.

"Iya~, small boats are nice, too. You can't experience that thrill very often. Thank you for inviting me"

"No, you invited me before and I apologize for the short notice"

"Haha. You are very disciplined. So, would you like to go fishing?"

That's part of the fun. Small boats are more like boat fishing. And I haven't been fishing lately. But I'm afraid of what we can catch here.

"I think we can catch Anacondas and Nile Crocodiles"

"Haha! Sure looks like you can catch it! If I catch a Candiru, it will be a problem, so maybe another time?"

"Yes. Ah, are you free on Saturday or Sunday?"

"I'm free. What time do you want to fish? Morning fishing is recommended. The fish seem to be easier to catch"

Seriously...he's a quintessential fisherman, he knows things I don't know. So Saturday morning's plan became fishing.

And I was introduced by Ruin-san to a female player who was a craftsman.

"N, Nice to meet you...I'm Nao...the craftsman"

This is serious business.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Takuto, a summoner"

"Th, That?"

Hmm? What's going on?

"E, Emm...excuse me, young girl summoner...right?"

"I wish you wouldn't call me that, but I think it's probably right"

"Me, Mew-san!"

Nao-san and Mew-san started talking.

"Isn't the young girl summoner, someone who gets pissed off if you mess with a young girl and then he goes off on his own and says I'm the strongest in this game! Wasn't he a dangerous man?"

What kind of image is that! Is that the image you have of me? I'm shocked. I'm so depressed.

"I, I'm sorry! For the strange misunderstanding I had with you"

"I, It's okay...it doesn't bother me"

"E, Emm...ah! This! It's what you ordered!"

"Let me see it"

Ox Ball Necklace: Rarity 7, Accessory, Quality C

Effect: Disease nullification, sacred attribute magic power up (small)

A necklace with an ox ball attached to a silver chain. It has the power to nullify the sacred attribute and disease to those who equip it.

Oh...nice workmanship! Then numerous gazes, the girls. They want it, but I end up equipping it. I have a high rate of getting disease and I decided that the sacred attribute magic power up is suitable for me.

While I was thanking Nao-san, everyone else was jumping in the boat. As a result, Risa, Yuuko, Arleigh and Hokage, who got carried away and had an accident, joined Lilys group.

Later, at everyone's request, we had one battle. The members were Ion, Ix, Nowa, Lian and Gale.

Lian was asked to pilot the boat and we were on alert. You will be warned when you proceed by boat.

From this point onward, magic cannot be used except on the ship. Please be careful

Indeed. This is like recommending a battle on a ship, then, isn't it?

I proceed slowly. Then Ion, who had been watching the water, warned us.

"Takuto-san! From the waterkya!"

"Ion!"

I hold Ion close to me as she is about to fall off the boat. Oh, no. I don't want to see Ion get attacked by Candiru.

"Are you okay? Ion"

"Suu...haa...a, alligght"

I don't know what she's saying because her face is still attached to my robe.

Then something jumps out of the river. Oh, that thing!

Desnia Lv18

Normal Monster Subjugation Target Active

It's the old Desnia. I was very grateful for your help in the early days. It seems to have gotten a little stronger, so I won't relent.

"Blitz!"

Gale and I unleash lightning magic and Ix shoots it out with an energy gun.

That killed it, but the huge body fell down. That's not good. But the Desnia never hit the boat.

"...N!"

Nowa skewered Desnia with a shadow spear. Nice. So, the promised battle is over.

"How was it?"

Mel asks me and I answer frankly.

"It's a tricky field, that's for sure"

"What do you mean?"

"I got the feeling from the battle earlier that maybe the enemies in this field will try to get us on the boat to drop into the river"

If we fall into the river, it's game over. It was only natural that we would be targeted. As a countermeasure...

"Yug-san, may I request a reward?"

"Fine! What is it?"

"Can't you put up a fence?"

A fence would at least reduce the risk of falling.

"Of course I can do that. Leave it to Yug-san, the shipwright!"

I guess she changed jobs from the catapult. Dismantling Desnia was an outlier. I would have preferred a weaker Desnia. As for the fence, she said she could put it on right away and she really did. Now I will be able to fight with a little peace of mind.

Since there were quite a few players there, we decided to exchange information.

Everyone's focus was still on the sea and the desert. The sea in particular is getting a lot of attention because they are finding a lot of treasure chests. But the bottleneck is the underwater battle. If you come in a swimsuit, you won't be able to fight, but it will be very tough to deal with tiger sharks.

Matatabi, the key to the quest to enter the Sandwall Desert, is found in the Yellow Ossa Forest. However, it seems that only one place has been found. It would be extremely difficult to find a single matatabi in that forest. I think it's amazing.

The people who found the matatabi had just found it today. However, they did not give me any information. It was hard work, but they found it, so I guess it can't be helped.

Still, it looks like they are going to put it up for sale, so Mel and the others should be able to get in next Tuesday if they buy it.

Mel and the others are in the event field during the vacations. They will be in the Sandwall Desert starting Tuesday.

"What about you, Takuto-kun?"

"For now, I intend to take down Gigas. After that, since I went to the trouble of building a boat, I think my main focus will be here, the desert and the sea"

"You're not going to conquer the snow-covered mountains?"

"I met an ice dragon..."

All of them spoke out that it was impossible. That's right~.
