There were more changes made to the interior of the alchemical boat . After entering through the teleportation portal, one would arrive at a tiny cabin which could only be accessed from the exterior of the boat . If a person wanted to leave, they would have to go to another cabin . This was in stark contrast to the original design .
The original teleportation portal was bidirectional, and the entrance and exit were at the same location . With the current design, the alchemical boat was more like a warship . Even though Judikaka was not human, there were wars in the death dimension too . Hence, when it came to making weapons more logical, Judikaka was superior to Saleen .
Saleen did not know whether he was overthinking it, but he felt that the interior of the alchemical boat was kind of gloomy . At a glance, the space within the turtle shell was not altered at all . One example was the five machinery cabins . However, Judikaka had changed all the segmentations carried out by Saleen and Lex .
The partitions across the entire layout had been removed, and the cabin was now separated into just three regions .
The last six meters at the stern were the accommodation cabins . It was separated into two levels by Judikaka, and was enough to house more than one hundred people at a time . However, what astonished Saleen was the bathroom .
The accommodation cabin was decorated in an elaborate manner, and Saleen even noticed that there was a small kitchen . What made Saleen realize the generosity of Judikaka was the many spatial lattices which Judikaka had produced .
The turtle shell possessed some spatial attributes, and Judikaka had maximized that point . Every room had a spatial lattice which could be used to store some items as the space was very narrow . The only advantage was that these space lattices were catered to people who were at the grade of a magic disciple .
With these spatial lattices, the crew could store their daily necessities into them .
On the other hand, there were two larger space lattices in the kitchen which were used to store food and water .
Located in the middle of the boat was the power cabin . Both ends of this cabin was sealed . There were five control rooms, and a guardroom was situated right beside each control room .
Saleen had never considered the possibility of an intrusion, but Judikaka had covered that aspect . There were spaces solely for guards beside these control rooms . In order to disrupt the movement of the boat, one would have to kill the soldiers first .
These portions were designed in a greatly regulated manner, similar to what a military general would have done . The only gripe was that not all the details were exquisite .
"Soldier, where are you?" Saleen called out to the winged skeleton in his heart .
"Master, I am at the front . "
Saleen approached the bow of the boat . Once he entered the front part of the ship, he realized that there were no partitions here . There was only a space which had an area of about one hundred square meters .
Levitating inside this cabin was an enormous eye of the dead which was mosaicked into the black crystal .
Under this eye of the dead was a spirit pool with a diameter of about two meters . Black fog filled the spirit pool, but it did not spread outwards . Huge quantities of green spirits were mosaicked into the surroundings of the spirit pool . These magic arrays had a complex structure, and every single one of them was three-dimensional, similar to the magic patterns on Saleen's badge . It would be difficult for someone to use their mental power to detect these things .
A message which was left behind by Judikaka was transmitted straight into Saleen's brain, causing Saleen to be petrified . Judikaka was a spirit king, so he was able to forcefully transmit a mental message into Saleen's mind without his permission .
Such was the difference in abilities between Saleen and Judikaka . Judikaka was also reminding Saleen not to repudiate their agreement .
The message was not elaborate . It only briefed Saleen on the usage of the spirit pool .
This spirit pool would produce twenty-four bone spirits every single day . There were two options for the bone spirits . The first option was that the bone spirits would be bone fish and carry bloodstones to carry out kamikaze missions . As long as Saleen threw bloodstones into the spirit pool, the bone fish could already be produced .
The twenty-four bone fish produced from the spirit pool could be sealed into the green spirits . There were a limited number of green spirits, so this boat could only carry twenty-four bone fish at most .
Those magic arrays which were fused with the green spirits were teleportation portals connected to the black crystals . Once the teleportation portals were activated, the sealed bone fish would be launched from the boat .
The winged skeleton was inside a three-dimensional magic array located behind the spirit pool . This magic array was engraved into a colossal piece of crystal . As this piece of crystal was completely sealed, it was unknown as to how the winged skeleton had gotten in .
The two pairs of wings on the back of winged skeleton opened up and began flapping inside the crystal . The soul flames within his orbitals lit up once again . After being betrayed by Daniel, those orbitals had been filled with pitch darkness most of the time, but at this moment, they were filled with a lively red flame .
"Master, I feel that I can control this boat on my own!" The winged skeleton could not contain his excitement . The winged skeleton realized that every single item on the boat had fused perfectly with himself . Even that enormous eye of the dead seemed to be part of his body . The winged skeleton could view the external surroundings of the boat clearly . This experience of being able to see through an eye had caused the winged skeleton to be entranced .
So these were the colors which the humans talked about . There was a portion about colors in the human memories which the winged skeleton had swallowed . However, most spirits did not have any eyes, so they could not see any color .
"Soldier, do you like it here?"
"Yes, Master . "
"Stay here then," Saleen sighed . Judikaka had created a ghost ship which had to be steered by spirits . Saleen was not a death mage, and he could not possibly ask Daniel to control this ship .
"Stay? Master, I…"
"It's fine . " As Saleen spoke, he took out the piece of green spirit which had been used to seal the winged skeleton . When he came to the three-dimensional crystal magic array, he found a groove which could contain the green spirit .
Saleen then fused the green spirit into the groove . He then realized that Judikaka had already considered all the aspects .
"I am giving you the green spirit . Soldier, you will control this ship in the future . You can delegate the work to the crew in the power cabin, but when I am not around, you will be the captain of this ship . "
By doing so, Saleen had given the winged skeleton partial freedom . Even though the contract could not be dissolved, it was equivalent to the winged skeleton becoming a creature as big as the turtle by being inside this crystal . The winged skeleton could move the warship freely in the ocean .
"Master, I cannot do so . " For the first time, the winged skeleton had displayed loyalty towards Saleen . He wanted to follow Saleen, just like Nailisi, to ensure Saleen's safety .
"Soldier, this ship is very important to me . I will rest assured knowing that it is in your hands . With this ship, even if I run into strong adversaries, I will be able to remain safe as long as I can get inside . Be it a grade-9 mage, a golden grand swordmaster, or even the pope with a divine weapon, they cannot kill me in the water . "
Saleen explained calmly this to the winged skeleton . Saleen was not a dominating person . He would not lose out by giving partial freedom to the winged skeleton .
The winged skeleton remained silent for a while, then said, "Master, become a sorcerer as soon as possible . That way, our soul connection will remain effective for more than ten miles . When you become a grade-8 sorcerer, we will be able to communicate across a radius of one hundred miles, and when you get to grade-9, I can transmit all sorts of information to you within a distance of one thousand miles . If you manage to break through grade-9…"
"Is the distance going to be ten thousand miles?" Saleen joked .
"It will be farther than ten thousand miles . As long as I am on this plane, you will be able to locate me . It is just that when that time comes, you will no longer require my protection . "
Saleen felt a little sad when he heard the winged skeleton say that . A contract was never equal . There were many other sacrifices besides the contract alone . The winged skeleton's loyalty had largely been brought about by the contract which had altered his psychological state . In the winged skeleton's heart, Saleen's safety was his top priority, but before that came Daniel's safety .
No matter how his master turned out, he would have to protect them .
Saleen did not continue brooding . Instead, he changed the topic and said, "Judikaka left me a message, but it is not complete . Since you have grasped the workings of this ship, can you tell me what it does?"
"This ship is called… Green Spirit Liner . " The winged skeleton said something that was compltely unrelated to the topic at hand . However, the green spirit had been fused onto the crystal, so the winged skeleton would not need to return to Saleen . He would be able to survive and train on this ship . This ship was now part of the winged skeleton .
"The Green Spirit Liner has five methods of attack . "
"What's the first one?" Saleen was shocked, he had thought that the ship only had three methods of attack . It seemed like Judikaka had taken things into his own hands again . He had changed the offensive parts of the ship .
"It is the ice bomb magic array which Master originally designed . It is located to the left of the spirit pool, and a mage master is required to operate it . "
"The second is the soul corrosion magic array . It is located to the right of the spirit pool, and a death mage is needed to operate it . Grade wise, Daniel will be up to the task . "
The winged skeleton did not seem so agitated anymore when Daniel was mentioned . Without the contract with Daniel, the winged skeleton could not maintain his loyalty . It was just that it was very difficult for him to accept that he had been abandoned by the death mage .
"Mm," Saleen whispered, and did not continue along this topic .
"Master, if there are no death mages, I will be able to control this magic array too," the winged skeleton reminded Saleen, and Saleen understood what he meant . Daniel was not important, so Saleen did not need to accede to any of Daniel's requests just because a death mage was needed to operate the magic array .
"What is the third method of attack?"
"It is this spirit pool . The spirit pool can produce up to twenty-four bone fish a day, and if they aren't sent into the green spirit for storage, no new bone fish will be produced . Which means that in the best case scenario, we will only be able to deploy two hundred and sixty-four bone fish . "
"Only? That's already a lot . It will be enough . "
"Master, in order to ensure the lethality of the attack, we will need to use three to six bone fish each time . Against a large ship, at least twenty bone fish will need to be deployed in one go . The magic inside the bloodstones are formed naturally within the spirit pool . In order for an attack to be strong enough, at least three fish will need to be deployed at any given time . "
Saleen calculated things for a moment . If that was the case, then such an attack method was indeed not sustainable for this alchemical boat . After all, two hundred and sxity-four fish were deployed, and he would need at least one full day to replenish another twenty-four fish . In order to replenish all two hundred and sixty-four of them, he would need eleven days .
"Okay, then tell me, what's the fourth method of attack?" Saleen was very curious about the offensive ability of the remaining two attacks . As a spirit king, what surprises could Judikaka have given Saleen? If these presents were good enough, Saleen would not mind lending a large number of magic books to Judikaka, and he would not bring up the issue of rewards anymore . Saleen was already very satisfied that Judikaka had made a spirit pool which could dispense bloodstones . Otherwise, these items were only available in the death dimension, and Saleen could not guarantee that he would be able to obtain them .
