Chapter 421 Technology Rolling(1/2)
There are also some mixed half-elves in the Endless Sea. Dark elves like Arno have the strongest bloodline, but her physical appearance is more like that of humans. Compared with the high elves in front of them, her appearance is still very different.
After boarding the "Golden Ghost", this group of high elves were like curious babies, looking around at everything in the cabin.
"Oh my god... this ship is actually made of metal? It must be very heavy. Can it fly?"
"But, since it is a ship, why don't I see it has sails?"
"What are those strange pipes used for, and are they still emitting steam? In addition to the rudder, why do they have so many strange buttons in their cockpit?"
"I don't know, I think it's more like a metal toad monster than a ship..."
"..."
This group of high elves thought that Raymond and others could not understand them, so they whispered in Elvish.
Raymond had also asked Yasrema before. The female elf captain was only twenty-four years old, not much older than them. The other team members were younger, mostly only around twenty years old.
For humans, twenty years old is not too young... But if you consider the high elves, it is about the age of a ten-year-old human child. These "children" have been fighting on the battlefield for many years.
In multiple dreams, Raymond knew about this situation. The war had caused the remaining high elves in this secret realm to wander on the edge of annihilation for many years.
Legend has it that the high elves in ancient times reproduced asexually. The blood of the demigod-level elves did not reproduce through fertility, but grew directly from the "Sacred Tree of Life".
Yes, like ginseng fruits, high elves grow from trees, and then are given souls by the gods.
At that time, the elves generally had long lifespans, and there were many who lived for more than a thousand years...
But later, the mythical civilization collapsed and the gods died. After the "Sacred Tree of Life" died, their clan could only rely on fertility to reproduce, and the bloodline inheritance became thinner from generation to generation.
Although they are high-level elves, their bloodline concentration is very different from that of the legendary ancient elves. The current maximum lifespan is also about two hundred years old...
Although they still live longer than ordinary humans, the actual average age of these high elves in the secret realm will not exceed fifty due to the war.
...
Not only are the elves curious about everything on the "Golden Ghost", people like Anna are also looking at this group of elves with their eyes wide open and full of curiosity.
"We actually saw the high elves in myths and legends... This feeling is simply amazing!"
"Wow... they are so beautiful. Their legs are so long, their butts are so perky, and their breasts are so bulging..."
"Yes, they are as beautiful as fairy tales... Every one of them is so beautiful. They are indeed the most beautiful race in the legend."
"Those pointed ears look so soft, I really want to pinch them..."
"Captain, can I collect their blood samples for research..."
"..."
Nervous guys like Anna are not as tactful and reserved as the elves. They look at these high elves carelessly and speak in a low tone.
Of course, they also thought that these guys couldn't understand human language.
But they didn't know that among this group of elves, Raymond had just taught someone who could speak the common language of humans.
Yasrema heard the words "so beautiful", "beautiful", "slender"... and naturally knew that these humans were complimenting them.
This also made the female elf captain's cheeks blush slightly, and she felt like she had been praised too much.
After all, she thought, among the elves, they were not particularly good-looking.
At this time, Raymond, as the owner of the ship, first introduced the partners of the "Ghost Group" to the group of elves, saying: "This is my partner, Navigator Anna...Doctor Lulu...Chef Shi Shi
...Machinists Colin and Nicole...Sailor Thor, who as you all can see is a Titan...oh, and Gigi the monkey."
He introduced his companions to the elves one by one, of course, using high elven language.
Now, the elves understood immediately.
"He...this human can actually speak Elvish!"
"The Titans? Isn't that a legendary extinct race? No wonder he is so tall..."
"What are mechanics? Why do they put some steel brackets on their bodies? Are they human combat weapons?"
"..."
Suddenly able to communicate using language, these young elves finally felt a lot more at ease.
At this time, Yasrema also smiled and introduced her team members in human common language, saying: "Hello, human friends. These are my partners, Mark, Tim, Tina..."
This time, it was Anna's turn and they were surprised. This elf captain could actually speak human common language?
Not only the members of the "Ghost Group", but also the group of elves were also curious. When did their captain learn the common language of humans?
After some introductions, the two parties became very familiar with each other.
But now is obviously not the time to relax, because... outside the cabin, thousands of orcs have boarded the floating island, and then they also discovered the "Golden Ghost".
These equally confused low-IQ monsters are, at this moment, tapping the alloy hull of the iron toad with their crude weapons, making a banging sound. They seem to be sizing up whether this huge toad can be eaten as food.
.
Yasrema looked at the terrifying number of enemies outside the cabin and the black sailboats floating in the sky, and her face regained its seriousness before the battle.
She looked at Raymond with worried eyes and asked: "Captain Raymond, what should we do now? What is the speed of your ship? Is there any chance of getting rid of them? Those demonic 'Black Wind Sailing Ships' are blessed by wind spirits and can sail at a faster speed.
soon..."
"Well...forgot to ask a question."
Hearing this, Raymond suddenly remembered something and asked: "How can your ship... fly?"
"???"
Yasrema was stunned when she heard this question.
Isn’t this “common sense” that everyone knows?
But then I thought about it, Raymond and the others came from another world, so it was normal not to know.
She instinctively explained: "Because there are 'floating runes' painted on the ship, which are incompatible with the laws of gravity in the world..."
Having said this, the female elf captain wanted to explain something else, but she suddenly thought of something terrible, and asked dumbfounded: "Captain Raymond! Could it be that...can't your ship float?"
Raymond smiled awkwardly, "Yes."
When Yasrema heard this, she was stunned as if struck by lightning. Previously, she had held out hope that the ship could block the opponent's firepower with its exaggerated steel shell, and might be able to successfully escape pursuit.
But now... this ship can even have the most basic floating function, aren't they trapped on this floating island? There are so many demons outside, and if they are trapped, sooner or later they will die.
...
"You don't have to worry too much."
At this time, Raymond looked at the female elf's worry and said with a smile: "Even if our ship cannot fly, it is more than enough to deal with those 'black wind sailing ships'."
With that, he said to Colin: "Prepare the magic artillery and fire it at a short distance with low charge. First test the defense strength of the opponent's hull..."
Colin nodded and said: "Yes, Captain!"
Then, the two mechanics, Colin and Nicole, began to press various buttons amidst the puzzled eyes of the elves. Along with a clicking sound of the machine, looking out from the control room, the iron toad's mouth slowly
A huge cannon barrel emerged.
Raymond knew that this group of elves, whose technology was still at a primitive level, had never seen a steam steel battleship, so he said to them: "Everyone, be careful, our ship will shake violently soon..."
Seeing this scene, Yasrema looked in disbelief and asked: "You...are you planning to engage in an artillery battle with the demons?"
Raymond nodded: "Yes!"
Yasrema had a strange look on her face and didn't understand what was going on with the confident smile on Raymond's face.
She was not stupid, and naturally guessed that these humans might have shocking magical means, but she also expressed her worries, "But... the demons have a hundred warships and more than 800 artillery pieces."
..."
No matter how you look at it, the demons have absolute firepower suppression. If there is really an artillery battle, a ship that cannot float in the air, even if it is made of steel and has amazing defense, won't it just stand still and take a beating?
"Well...it's not a big problem."
Raymond didn't know how to explain it, so he smiled kindly at the beautiful elf captain.
"Charged, ready to launch!"
At this time, Colin had activated the launch button.
As the ship's hull shook, a blue beam of magic energy suddenly spurted out from the barrel.
biu~
The group of elves only felt that in the blink of an eye, the beam of light passed by, and a "Black Wind Sailboat" in the distance exploded!
A violent explosion exploded in the sky, like fireworks from a sacred ceremony, making everyone's faces turn red for a moment.
The flames of the explosion were still shining in front of them, and the elves were completely stunned... They never expected that this iron toad could actually destroy a large "Black Wind Sailboat" with one shot?
For the elves, artillery is not as practical as some high-level alchemy magic arrows. They exist on ships simply because ammunition is cheap and powerful. Firing artillery is far more cost-effective than consuming alchemy magic arrows.
..
But now, what did they see?
What the cannon fired just now was not a projectile, but a magic shock wave?
To be continued...
