"What is the most important thing to do when you're in danger?"
Rorschach muttered softly as he checked the damage to his demonic armor, attracting Seviala's attention.
"You're asking me? It should be to maintain a safe environment, gather as much food and water as possible, and then wait for rescue. "
Rorschach smiled but didn't continue the conversation.
What he said just now was just him answering his own question to recall the knowledge he had read in books.
Yes, the knowledge he had read in books. The students of Star Knight Academy were Star Knights who had to take charge of their own affairs. It was expected that they would go into battle, explore, and lose contact with others. Naturally, they had to learn survival knowledge in the wilderness and unfamiliar environments.
Seviala's answer wasn't wrong. Under the premise that they were in danger, the most important thing was to extend their survival time as much as possible. Only by living long enough would they have a chance to wait for rescue. However, in the wilderness survival course for Star Knights, not only would this answer fail, but they would also be treated as a target and criticized by the teachers.
"… This is really a typical commoner's way of thinking. After all, Seviala isn't a professional warrior. However, this is also normal … Tsk, nowadays, even commoners can kill people for no reason."
Rorschach's idea wasn't derogatory at all. However, this method of extending their survival time as much as possible was labeled as a typical commoner's way of thinking in the course. It was passive and didn't strive to improve.
Star Knights were professional warriors and explorers from the very beginning. In a situation where they were in danger and lost contact with others, the possibility of rescue arriving successfully wasn't worth looking forward to. Furthermore, the people behind the scenes were still counting on you to do something. In many cases, they wouldn't even consider that you were in danger.
To put it bluntly, even if they knew that a professional warrior had met with danger in the wilderness, they would still prioritize the mission that they were currently carrying out. If they had extra manpower, they would also go and carry out the mission first.
After all, the environment they were in was different from the peaceful wilderness where all sorts of people in the wilderness lost themselves. The high risk and the wide area greatly increased the cost of rescue from the very beginning.
Then, for a professional warrior, after meeting with danger …
"First of all, don't expect rescue. Don't hold a passive attitude of stalling for time. It's hard to determine whether the rescue team will arrive faster or your enemies will arrive faster. Instead of waiting for natural disasters and wild predators to find you, you might as well take the initiative to discover them. "
Therefore, in Rorschach's logic, the most important thing to do after a disaster was to recover his combat strength and then take the initiative to explore.
As a professional Warrior, Rorschach was confident that even if he didn't have food for a week, as long as he had water, he would be able to survive. Naturally, his priority was to recover his combat strength.
"This magical armor's quality is excellent, and its defenses are quite good. It's just that the power system … the mana pool is completely empty. It would seem that my mana pool wasn't the only thing that was drained by that spell."
Without spare parts and tools, a normal magic armor specialist would not be able to repair or modify a magic armor, but Rorschach's situation was clearly not 'normal'.
Previously, on the speedboat, there hadn't been any spare parts or tools, so Rorschach had shown off his magical modification skills by making spare parts with his bare hands. While outsiders were amazed by this, those who truly knew how to make spare parts with their bare hands looked as if they had seen a ghost.
That's right, making spare parts with his bare hands. In Ansorenne, Rorschach, a mage from the Iron Smithing Department and an excellent student of the magic armor major, was capable of creating steel giants and automatic magic armors with his bare hands. He was basically a production line, so naturally he would be able to create a large number of spare parts with his bare hands. But in Aishi, things were slightly different.
In Aishi, Rorschach was a nature mage … or at least, he had been a nature mage not long ago.
However, Rorschach still managed to find an alternative method. He used a magical plant's outer shell to create a prototype magic armor, which he had obtained from the wood spirits.
I had used magical plant parts to replace the missing parts on my magical armor. Nobody could tell if this was actually a magical armor or a magical plant's outer shell. But, thanks to Rorschach's ever-increasing "I think" craftsmanship, this magical armor was incredibly useful for both fighting and jumping … so nobody would care if it was a magical armor or a magical plant.
At the very least, Rorschach was quite satisfied with his modification skills since the magical plants didn't disintegrate under the backlash of a forbidden spell.
Besides, this ability was even more useful than Ansorenne's ability. In Ansorenne, Rorschach wanted to create an iron legion and equipment. Although it seemed like he was magically extracting steel from the ground, this actually required a large amount of magic power and divine power. The former could be replenished, while the latter was a strategic resource.
Of course, there were some parts that couldn't be created, such as the core power components, the neural connection system, the magnetic armor, and the cannons. That was why Rorschach was more of a mechanic than a builder.
And in most cases, with Aishi's green environment, Rorschach wouldn't lack any raw materials. He would be satisfied as long as he had enough magic power. This was also why Rorschach had chosen to first create the magic armor.
Unfortunately, after inspecting it over and over again, Rorschach discovered that his craftsmanship was useless.
When Rorschach fell into the sea, the magic armor had immediately activated its defensive mode. The magic armor's defensive capabilities were also incredibly high. Rorschach immediately sunk into the sea from the center of the area where there were no waves, far away from the spell's core. The magic armor's damage was much less than expected.
Many of the outer layers of the magic armor had been destroyed. However, this was a disposable design to begin with, so it was only necessary to destroy some of the magic armor's defensive capabilities.
Most of the magic armor's damage was minor after it floated up automatically according to the program's instructions.
Rorschach found the corrosive light green blood of the viper dragons in the magic armor's cockpit, as well as some scales and hair scattered all over the floor. It seemed that not only was Seviala not lying, but she had also been exaggerating.
Rorschach thought about being attacked by a group of viper dragons while floating in the sea, with only two people around him whose fate was unknown, and he himself was only a newbie who knew a few court swordsmanship and magic tricks. This scene was more than enough to make one despair.
"Phew …"
Rorschach suddenly heard heavy breathing behind him. He turned around and saw the young girl leaning against a rock, fast asleep.
"Heh, you've reached your limit, haven't you? Hang in there until I wake up."
She insisted on staying awake and even collected some food to cook. Now that she saw that Rorschach had woken up, she relaxed and fell asleep immediately.
Rorschach thought for a moment, then walked over to put on some clothes for her … But that was impossible.
"Although it's not much, it's just enough to make up the numbers. You can never have too many batteries."
It was inconvenient to carry the princess with one hand, so he directly carried her and threw her onto the magic armor's chair. Judging from the young girl's frown and pained expression, Rorschach definitely didn't have any protective feelings for the fairer sex.
The magic armor's functions weren't damaged too much, but the mana pool was completely empty. How was he going to replenish it? Of course, he could charge it. There were now two batteries, although the power was a little low.
The magic armor's power was originally stored by absorbing the wearer's mana and spirit. Rorschach slightly adjusted the magic power absorption valve, changing the passive mode to active mode.
Of the two chairs, the first one was stuffed into Seviala, while the second one, Ariel, was much more careful. It wasn't that Rorschach finally learned to be protective of the fairer sex, but rather that Ariel's body was a little too large for the one-armed Rorschach.
"Tsk, Fatty Dragon, it's time to lose weight."
When this "battery" was stuffed into the cockpit, the already small cockpit was now completely filled up. Roxia couldn't help but chuckle as he watched Natsuya's small face being stuffed with a large steamed bun with her eyes closed. Roxia closed the cockpit door and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Who told you to pretend to be asleep? Pretending to be asleep in front of a life sacrifice …"
Falling asleep in front of a strange man without any vigilance? Seviala wasn't that careless, but with her meager strength, if Rorschach really did have any evil intentions, then there would be no difference whether she was awake or asleep. Pretending to be asleep at this time could also be considered a test … although it wouldn't be of much use.
Rorschach saw through her. "You're worried about your own safety? Fine, enter the magic armor and become a power bank. Not only will it block out wild men, it will also block out real wild beasts and ensure your safety."
Rorschach threw the traces of the fire and the leftovers into the sea to erase any traces of human presence. Then, he tried to cast a spell to summon some shrubs and plants to cover the magic armor with a protective color … Then, he discovered that the spell failed again.
Helpless, he had to do it himself. It took him a long time to drag some branches over and finish the job. The camouflage effect was also terrible. It was probably a face-to-face camouflage. "Are you kidding me? You think you're a raccoon just because you're wearing an animal skin? I'd be a beauty if I put two steamed buns on my chest! "
However, Rorschach, who had been watching the sky carefully, was already very satisfied.
At least, the patrollers in the sky wouldn't be able to discover them at a glance. This was the result of Rorschach's camouflage.
The rescue might be delayed because of this, but it was still better than chasing after the enemy. Time was on his side. As long as he and Ariel fully recovered, with this magic armor, even if they couldn't defeat the enemy, they could still escape.
"Then, next, it's time to get down to business."
Rorschach looked at the forest where the roars of beasts were unceasingly coming from and smiled.
He lowered his head and treated his wounds, making sure that the smell of blood wouldn't affect his movements.
He took two steps and disappeared into the forest. As a former wood spirit ranger, this was his home field. He was confident that he could survive in the forest by himself for an unlimited amount of time.
