Chapter 123: Sail (2)
"Yes, Ulysses, start." Lapis closed her golden eyes, and a faint silver light radiated from her body. Under the shining of the silver light, the control sticks and buttons under her actually moved by themselves. Then the hull of the Ulysses shook slightly and began to move slowly.
"Mhm, it's pretty stable. Then let's try other systems. First launch a Dark light cannon with a tenth of the power, then activate the four floating magic cannons to randomly attack, and finally explore the situation within three kilometers..." Aya gave a series of orders excitedly.
"Yes..."
And Ulysses, who was doing nothing on the deck, suddenly found out that the ship had slowly left the deserted island, and was driving in the direction of the continent.
"What's happening? Is it Aya sailing? Or the magical spirit called Lapis controlling the ship? Uh! What is that!?" As Ulysses was wondering, something even more surprising happened.
At the front end of the Ulysses, a strange steel pipe suddenly appeared. The steel pipe was about five or six meters long and about one meter thick. There were some strange magic runes carved on the top of the steel pipe, and those magic runes were emitting a blue light.
With the sound of "Boom!", a huge blue light suddenly shot out from the steel pipe. A huge explosion occurred in the sea where the blue light passed. Numerous unlucky fish and shrimps were blown up by the explosion caused by the blue light. day. It wasn't until the blue light disappeared into the distance that the water waves caused by the explosion slowly calmed down.
But the suffering of the innocent fish and shrimps had not passed, because at the top of the Ulysses, four conical metal objects appeared at this time. The moment these metal cones appeared, they began randomly attacking the surrounding area in the sea. White light beams shot out like lightning from those metal cones, blasting countless huge water spouts on the sea. It caused a disaster more terrifying than the blue light just now.
The indiscriminate attack of the metal cone lasted for about five minutes, and then suddenly disappeared from the air, as if it had never existed. But the countless fish and shrimps on the surface of the sea would not disappear. What did they do to deserve it?
"Uh, this seems to be too much. What are Aya and the girl named Lapis doing?" Ulysses looked at the bodies of fish and shrimp floating in the sea near the Ulysses, feeling a little sorry for those animals.
‘I should go and check with them and ask what they are doing.' After looking guiltily at the unfortunate fish and shrimps on the sea, Ulysses walked towards the control room.
At this time, in the control room, Lapis was reporting to Aya,
"Dark light cannon's power test is completed. According to your instruction, only one-tenth of the power was used, and the result is..."
"Magic Floating Cannon's random attack test is completed, and the result is..."
"The exploration within three kilometers of the Ulysses is completed, and the result is..."
"The final result, all magical systems of the Ulysses are operating smoothly, and there are no special areas nearby that require additional attention."
"Mhm, not bad, as a magical spirit of the ship, you are already close to perfection, but it would be better if you have some human emotions..."
"Knock, knock, Aya, Lapis. Are you there? It's me, Ulysses, I want to ask what those inexplicable things were just now?" Ulysses' knock on the door interrupted Aya's words.
"It's the master! Lapis, you have to remember what I said to you just now! I'm going to open the door." After Aya reminded Lapis again, she flew behind the door of the control room and opened the door.
"Big Brother! Where are you? There was a loud noise just now, do you know what's going on? Ah, the ship is moving, then Big Brother should be in the control room, Helen, let's go see how Big Brother is sailing the ship." Soon after Ulysses entered the control room, Cherie and Helen appeared on the deck of the Ulysses. After seeing that the ship had left the deserted island, Cherie immediately took Helen's hand with excitement and in the direction of the control room.
"You were testing the magical system of the Ulysses just now? That huge steel tube is the dark light cannon, and the metal cones are the magic floating cannon... Although I still don't understand it, please don't do these weird tests again in the future. There are no enemies here anyway." In the control room, Ulysses was listening to Aya's explanation. After knowing that those things were actually weapons, he was relieved.
"Then, what is the identity of this girl named Lapis? Aya?" After asking what had happened just now, Ulysses continued to ask the questions he cared about the most.
"This... Simply put, Lapis is just the operator of this Ulysses created by the power of the realm of infinite desire of master, but for this Ulysses, she is a better operator than anyone else." Aya thought about it carefully and gave Ulysses an answer he could understand.
"Oh. You could've told me earlier. I really don't understand those magical systems and magical spirits. So Lapis is the operator of the ship I created. Hello, Lapis, nice to meet you.." After listening to Aya's explanation, Ulysses' face showed a sudden realization. He smiled and stretched out his hand to Lapis.
But what embarrassed him was that Lapis didn't seem to see his hand, and didn't want to stretch out her hand to shake his hand.
‘Ah! This apostle is really rude! She actually turned a blind eye to the master's kindness. I have to give her a class on etiquette when I have time.' Seeing that Lapis had no reaction to Ulysses's extended hand, Aya frowned, and secretly sent a spiritual wave to Lapis,
"Stretch out your hand and shake hands with the master, and say, nice to meet you too my myaster!" After receiving Aya's order, Lapis stretched out her little white hand, took Ulysses's hand, and said coldly,
"Nice to meet you too, my master."
"Oh no, it seems that Cherie is coming here. I have to turn into a bracelet immediately. By the way, Master, you can let Cherie see Lapis, but you must never let her talk to Lapis casually, and don't tell her the identity of the magical spirit of Lapis. You just need to say that she is just the operator of the Ulysses. Don't say anything else. Just do it as you did when you concealed how to make the Ulysses." After speaking, Aya immediately turned into an amethyst bracelet.
"Ah! The door is not closed, Big Brother must be inside. Big Brother, Cherie is here to see how Big Brother operates the ship! Ah! This girl is..." A few seconds after Aya turned into a bracelet, Cherie ran into the control room excitedly with Helen.
"Uh! How should I put it, Cherie, actually she is..." Although Aya told Ulysses how to deal with it, he who was not good with words still couldn't immediately follow Aya's instructions to deal with Cherie.
"So, so cute! Her silver hair is as beautiful as Helen, but her eyes are golden, which are so cute. Ah, this white dress is so cute too, what is it made of?" To Ulysses's surprise, Cherie didn't seem to care much about why Lapis would be on the ship. After a moment of daze, she immediately ran up to Lapis and ran around her.
Indeed, if one looked closely, this girl named Lapis was indeed very cute. Although there did not seem to be any expression on her face, her immaculate and tender face alone could make people's hearts move. And the clothes she wore were also beautiful that Ulysses had never seen anything like it before. It was a snow-white suit made of unknown material.
Her upper body was a white coat, with a golden bow tie on her chest, two blue crystals on her shoulders, and red heraldry on the cuffs. Her lower body was a pair of trousers embroidered with a straight black stripe, and on the feet were a pair of transparent crystal shoes similar to Aya.
Her long silver hair was not tied at random behind her head like Helen, but split into three, the larger one hanging behind her head, and the two smaller ones hanging beside her snow-white face. And Cherie was curiously fiddling with the two small strands of silver hairs with her hands.
"Uh, Cherie, don't play with her hair." Ulysses took Cherie's hand away from Lapis' face. And after a cough, he began to introduce her,
"She is Lapis, the operator of this Ulysses..."
...
At this time, on the sofa in Cherie's room, Rasputin tossed and turned until she accidentally rolled under the sofa, and made a loud "bang!"
"Ow! Who is attacking… Zzz...Zzz..." At the moment when she fell to the ground, Rasputin opened her eyes and muttered, but she fell asleep immediately again...
