The outside of the hull shows a darker color as a whole, and the dragon scale pattern that was originally only visible at close range is now completely visible in the sun. The volume of the ship has expanded by about 1.5 times, while the internal space has grown twice as much
about.
The huge blue dragon wings curled up on both sides of the hull now have a layer of dark golden color. The original figure of Miss Eleser's own bow has disappeared, and instead there is a huge brass door on the bow.
Huge cannon.
This is not a naval gun used by the army, but a collection of the technology accumulated by the Aurora family for many years, coupled with the technology brought by Miss Eleser herself from the Fifth Age, and finally even used the technology stored in the [Witch Council]
Top-grade alchemical weapons made from precious metal materials.
It took nearly three months to complete the initial upgrade of the "Brilliant Messenger". According to Miss Aurora, the birth of Miss Elisa and the "Brilliant Messenger" was a miracle that cannot be replicated, and the transformation of this ship
The potential is nearly unlimited.
She still has many ideas that have not been realized. If she does not need to participate in the big event in Vesta Grove, according to her idea, it will take at least until the end of this year to truly complete the first phase of the ship upgrade.
But in Shade's opinion, it took only more than two months to transform it into this, which is good enough. At this time, under the late autumn sunshine in the woodland, he was standing on the deck with Miss Eleser, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Talking.
The blue-eyed boat girl with black hair looked at Shade with a smile. Her figure was second only to Tifa among all the girls Shade knew, and she also had a gentleness that Tifa did not have.
Graceful temperament.
Long time no see, Miss Elisa herself seems to have changed little. This morning, after Shade met everyone on the boat and had lunch, he talked with her about the ship's progress in recent months with the help of Miss Aurora.
Upgrade experience.
"I originally thought that the upgrade of this ship would also affect your appearance."
Shade said with his back against the outer railing of the highest deck of the ship. The ship girl smiled and pointed to her most prominent part:
"You don't mean the bridge, do you?"
Seeing Xia De's face turn red, she added:
"This ship is not my true body. This is clear to you who witnessed my 'birth' on the Sunless Sea.
The Radiant Messenger is more like a 'companion weapon' that was born with me. Its increased power can be fed back to me, but unfortunately the current level is not enough to support my promotion from the twelfth ring to the thirteenth ring."
"Take your time and don't rush. You see, most of the modern witches are still trapped in the eleventh level. You are more special than them, not to mention that you can also be regarded as a dragon, so you are promoted."
"Miss Dorothy Louisa seems to have something urgent to do with you."
The blue-eyed girl suddenly said:
"And he seemed very anxious."
Shade, who returned to the cabin, soon saw Dorothy in the banquet hall of the cabin, but she just said:
"Lecia is coming to you with Agelina. They are in trouble."
After saying that, she quickly left. After she had gone far enough, a red butterfly suddenly appeared around her. Lecia, with butterfly wings on her back and holding Agelina in both hands, appeared. The two of them stood on their feet.
After landing, Shade looked at the cat huddled above Agelina's head in surprise.
Carina, who happened to be nearby, smiled and said:
"Good afternoon, Lecia, Helen, Grace, Agelina, what are you doing with little Mia on your head?"
Lecia and the Hongdie sisters separated. Grace and Helen said hello to Shade because they would bring Granny Cassandra and the others over soon. Anyway, it was not a short while to be intimate.
Lesia said with a very bad expression:
"Shad, take little Mia away from Agelina's head and try."
In fact, there was no need for Shade to do this, because when he saw Shade, the cat jumped from Agelina's head.
So in the eyes of Carina, Lesia and the maids including Tifa, Agelina disappeared almost immediately. Miss Eleser has a perception of the inside of this ship that is beyond anyone else's.
power, so she still stared at Agelina's position, but in her opinion, Agelina was slowly becoming transparent.
Shade also held the cat and looked at Agelina's position suspiciously:
"Have you noticed it? I feel that Agelina's presence is disappearing now, but it is disappearing very slowly. I didn't notice it when little Mia was lying on top of her just now. Why does she have the element of whispering in her body?"
He is not able to see Agelina directly like Mia, but he must first "illuminate" Agelina by the cat before he can continue to see her. If she disappears again, and then does not take Mia with her
Appearing in front of Shade, Shade was also unable to observe Agelina's existence.
"I actually can't see her at all."
Carina said, and Lesia nodded worriedly.
Shade then reached out and took Agelina's hand. This time, it seemed to him that Agelina's disappearing trend had stopped, and Miss Eleser, Lesia and Carina were also just like before.
I also saw Agelina again.
The little princess held Shade's hand pitifully, fearing that she would be ignored again.
"Yes, it is indeed the whisper element. Agelina has encountered a relic."
Shade judged, and holding Shade's hand, she found that as long as he didn't let go, everyone could see her, and the little princess was not so nervous. She originally thought that she would spend the rest of her life carrying the cat, but she
It's unacceptable, but if it means holding Shade's hand for the rest of her life, Agelina thinks it's actually not bad.
"Meow~"
The cat said she had beautiful thoughts.
"Agelina, think about it carefully, what was the last thing you encountered before the problem occurred?"
Carina asked from the side based on experience, and the little princess who was just thinking wildly gave the answer immediately:
"After I left Shade with my sister in the morning, I went to the Black Raven Library and bought a book. Then I kept reading in my study. At noon, when I wanted to ask the maid to bring snacks, I realized that everyone
They are all ignoring me."
Lesia naturally brought that book, but after checking it just now, she found no problems. Shade then asked Tifa to find Luvia who was out inspecting the forest with Vanessa, and then
He put the cat on Agelina's head so that he could have his hands free to check the book.
The "Black Raven Library" is a black market that sells knowledge. Every book it recycles or obtains through other channels will be strictly inspected before being sold. It is said that it has a good reputation over the years and has never failed to improve the quality of books.
No big mistakes were made.
After careful inspection, Shade even tried to interpret the patterns on the edges of the book as text, but found no problems.
Carina also reached for the book to check, but also found nothing, but she made a suggestion:
"This book has only 21 pages in total. How about taking it apart and checking it separately? I'm just worried that other people will encounter the same problems that Agelina encountered."
"21 pages?"
Shade asked her doubtfully:
"Wait, it looks to me like this book has 22 pages."
Agelina, who had the cat squatting on her head again, immediately nodded. For the safety of little Mia, she did not nod, but she also remembered the page number of the book:
"I remember it was also 22 pages. I studied very seriously this morning and was not lazy at all."
As she spoke, she looked at her sister, and Lecia held her hand, feeling that she had indeed been a little too harsh on Agelina recently.
"Carina, check with me to see which page you can't see."
The job was very simple. Shade and Carina each described the contents of the pages they saw for comparison. Of course, during this period, Shade held Carina's hand to prevent her from disappearing too.
But the witch is willing to take such a risk. After all, Agelina is also her grandniece.
Under such forced comparison, the problematic page was finally found. In fact, even Shade's perception could not detect the problem on that page, because there was a problem after checking with Carina.
Previously, his description was:
"On the front of this page, the circular ritual array occupies two-thirds of the page, and the remaining one-third is the specific description of the ritual. This is to demonstrate the enhancement of thaumaturgy [disordered energy]
To achieve the effect, you need to draw a ritual with your own blood on the palm of your hand, and then push your palm forward to emit energy.
On the back of this paper, there is a warning about enhancing the effect of the ritual. Disordered spirits and energy can also cause harm to the caster himself, so strong control is required to try the method on the previous page."
After realizing the problem with the piece of paper, Shade's description became:
"There are two lines of text on the front of this paper, and it seems to be Agelina's font. The first line: [I long for amazing wisdom]. The second line: [I am afraid of being ignored by others]. Then there is Ah
Jelina’s autograph.”
The little princess with the cat squatting on her head immediately blushed, and she immediately denied:
"I haven't written anything like this!"
However, she immediately remembered the random thoughts she had while reading in the morning, such as "If you want to become smart, you can learn all the magic arts immediately" and "Worried about being ignored by my sister":
"Yeah, but I did think about something similar. I swear I just thought about it."
"It's probably related to this. So Shade, what's on the back?"
Carina asked again, and Shade continued:
"There is no Agelina's handwriting on the back of this paper. There are decorative lines on the four sides of the back, and the word 'contract' in an unknown language is written in the center. There is also a line of small words at the bottom of the page: [Victory]
Only through fear can you gain strength].”
He opened the book and took out the page alone. Only when it was separated from the book did the whispering elements of the page fully emerge.
Neither Lecia nor Shade knew what the relic was, but judging from the concentration of the whispering elements of the relic, the lowest danger level of the relic was Sage level (Level 2).
