"I feel like this is a nightmare …" The middle-aged knight muttered in a low voice as he sat at the back of the airship. Even though the wind was cutting his cheeks like a knife, he still felt a sense of unreality. Not far ahead of him was that terrifying monster that could reap dozens of lives in an instant, and he was actually a wingman for this monster that made people shudder just by approaching it?
The reason for this was all because of his nephew. The kid had really gone crazy. When the monster destroyed the local flying ship and was about to attack the local ships, the kid suddenly rushed out of the crowd, knelt on the ground, and asked to attack with the monster, to fight side by side with it …
All of this happened so suddenly that no one had time to stop it. However, the monster did not kill the reckless young man as everyone expected. It only used its red eye to carefully examine the young man and replied, "I'll give you two minutes."
Then came the current situation. The young knight, Lar, dragged his uncle, whose face was as pale as a sheet of paper. They rode the ship that they had just snatched from the battle and followed the monster towards the enemy's ships. There were only two of them, but they had to attack three ships. It looked like they were going to hell.
Soon enough, the other party responded to the almost provocative attack. More than twenty airships rose into the air from the three ships and flew towards them. The magical creature slowed down and asked Lar and his nephew in a low, muffled voice, "Who are they?"
"They are from the Black Oak Fleet, a notorious group of pirates!" Lar replied loudly.
"There are people in this world who are not pirates?" The engineer who was controlling the marionette muttered softly. He pulled the controller and opened the aiming interface.
Ten minutes later, Marionette and Lar landed on the enemy's flagship. The deck was filled with people kneeling on the ground. From the captain to the sailors, there was no exception. If they had not done so, they would have suffered the same fate as the other two wrecked ships. One of the wrecked ships had been turned into a giant torch, and smoke billowed as it plummeted to the ground. The other ship had been forcefully pulled out by Marionette into its engine room. The giant ship that had lost its power could no longer resist gravity, and in an instant, it fell to the ground and broke into pieces. The people on the ship did not even have the slightest chance to escape.
"Follow the boat in front to the nearest city." Nana gave an unquestionable command to the last remaining flagship. The captain of the flagship nodded vigorously. The scene of the monster destroying two of his ships with the most primitive method of ramming into them was a trauma that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
"You stay here and make sure they remember my orders." Nana pointed a finger at Lar and cast a simple monitoring spell on him. Then, she took off alone, carrying the giant ship core that she had just snatched back into the sky. She quickly returned to the portal and forced the ship core into it.
"Take it and play with it. I'm going to get down to business!" The Engineer Walker tossed the controller to Baiyi and rubbed his hands together as he approached the ship core that had just fallen out of the portal. He had always been interested in the design of this thing, but he had never had the chance to dismantle it. Now that he had found one, he could not afford to play with Nana anymore.
"The attack is Square, and the heavy attack is Triangle. Press the combination of Square and Triangle to activate a special attack. The defense is L1, and the Floating Cannon is R1. Press the left and right handles together to activate Trans-Am, but it's not very stable, so be careful. You'll have to figure out the rest yourself …" The Engineer Walker reminded Baiyi as he beckoned for the Scholar Walker to use her magic to transport the ship core to his workshop.
'Why is there so much equipment on a scout mech?' Baiyi was at a loss as he held the controller in his hands. 'Can't there be functions like' Level 999 Slash 'and' Instant Kill '?'
"I'll do it! You can't even play a game! You're such a disgrace!" The Archmage noticed Baiyi's awkwardness, so he snatched the controller out of Baiyi's hands and began to experiment with the controls.
"Although it's equipped with a Void Furnace, its power is still limited. Use it sparingly, "the Blacksmith Walker, who was also involved in the design of the marionette, reminded Baiyi out of goodwill. He too, was very interested in the magic-powered system.
"Alright, I'll go check on Mia and the others. You do as you see fit," Baiyi said. With that, Baiyi left his house, leaving the Voidwalkers who were still interested in this world to themselves.
When Baiyi found Mia, the little girl was curled up at home with Noirciel, who had already familiarized herself with human life through the game world. Unlike Tisdale and the others, the two girls did not immediately devote themselves to the reconstruction of Arfin City. Instead, they were at home, trying out all kinds of clothes and dresses.
Noirciel still needed some time to get used to it, but what was up with Mia? Was it because her age was locked at 12 years old? Did it affect her temperament as well? Everyone was busy at the moment, but Baiyi still had the leisure to discuss with Noirciel whether white stockings or black stockings matched the wings on her back better?
Baiyi picked her up without hesitation.
"Wow! You're here, Mr. Hope?" Mia, who was being held in midair, was not afraid at all. Instead, she smiled sweetly and extended her arms at Baiyi, as if she was begging for a hug.
Noirciel, on the other hand, did not act coquettishly. Instead, after looking at herself in the mirror, she realized that the black dress she was wearing did not match the wings on her back, so she took off the only piece of clothing she had on. Then, she began to rummage through the pile of dresses on the bed to choose the next one.
Baiyi quickly turned around and pulled Mia into his arms, fulfilling her wish. Then, he asked, "Everyone else is so busy. Why are you the only one who has nothing to do?"
"Heehee. I don't know why, but everyone's been taking care of me. They didn't ask me to do anything other than take care of Lulu," Mia replied, rubbing her head against Baiyi's cold chest armor.
"You should've taught her not to change in front of me," Baiyi said helplessly.
"I'm your apostle now. You have everything I have …" Noirciel replied calmly behind him.
"Ahem …" Baiyi coughed awkwardly. He did not know why an angel would have such a weird value system, but when he thought about it, it did not seem like a bad thing.
"Mr. Hope?" Mia reached out and patted Baiyi's visor. "When can we go to the new world?"
"Well … I think it'll take some time," Baiyi replied seriously as he sat on the edge of the bed and caressed his daughter's slim waist.
For the rest of the day, Baiyi took a break from his work and spent the rest of the day with Mia in her cottage. When night fell, the girls were done with their work and were invited to Mia's cottage. The table was filled with Baiyi's homemade delicacies, as if to thank the girls for their hard work.
'Everything will get better …' Baiyi sat quietly at the table, watching the girls eat and chat. His heart was filled with a strong sense of accomplishment.
For the next few days, Baiyi's life was quiet and busy. There were many things that needed his attention in the secular world, including the rebuilding of Arfin City, the discussion with the royal family about the division of the Church, and most importantly, the preparation for the mass immigration.
Because of the Fourth Walker's words, Arfin City had become an impregnable floating city. The city was much smaller than it used to be, with only a few streets remaining. Expanding the city in mid-air was a difficult task, so the current state of the city was the best it could do.
Because of this, the royal family generously bestowed Arfin City to Baiyi, making it his private domain. Now, the city belonged to him.
Baiyi also generously gave up a portion of the Church's spoils of war. Most of the spoils were land and fixed assets, which could not be taken away. They were converted into various resources, which were then loaded onto carriages and transported to Arfin City.
The nobles who had sided with the Church, after learning of the Church's defeat, began to pay tribute to Arfin City, hoping that Baiyi would forgive them. Thus, the nobles, who had been on the Church's side for a long time, began to send their goods to Arfin City. The area around Arfin City, which had been devastated by the war, was now bustling with activity. The wasteland under the new Arfin City was now packed with carriages from all over the world, carrying all kinds of resources. It was as lively as a giant logistics center on Earth.
Tisdale and Vidomina, who were in charge of receiving the goods, were so busy that they almost vomited blood. Vidomina, who was usually in charge of receiving the goods, was visibly thinner, even with the help of the other girls and her students. Other than a certain part of her body that still looked like it was the most beautiful …
As for the division of power that the royal family was most concerned about, Baiyi did not care about it at all. He had practically given up on that aspect, and his only request was that the royal family should not interfere with the natural flow of people in the future.
