Kanto College of the Elves

Chapter 52 Shipbuilding ([-])

At this moment, Taiyi's fishing rod suddenly moved.

"Taiyi, your fishing rod." Ah Hai said.

After Taiyi saw it, he quickly picked up the fishing rod and started fighting with the Pokémon in the water.Taiyi kept waving his fishing rod left and right.

"He is so strong." Tai Yi said.

"Come on, Taichi." Kojiro encouraged from the side.

After some twists and turns, Taiyi lifted it hard, and finally dragged the Pokémon out of the water and flung it into the sky.

The splashing water, under the sunlight, glows with colorful light.

The Pokémon that was caught was just in the same direction as the sun in the sky, so Tai couldn't see clearly.

After falling down, the three of them saw that it was a king carp.Seeing the carp king jumping around alive and kicking on the ground, the three of them fell silent.

"King Carp..." Taiyi said weakly. "I just fought a carp king for so long."

"I didn't expect that a carp king could struggle for so long before being dragged out of the water." Ah Hai said.

"In a sense, this carp king is pretty good." Kojiro complained.

"You say, should I subdue it?" Tai Yi asked.

"Let's put it in the water tank first. I just went through the toolbox. I found a water tank in it."

Kojiro said as he took out the water tank from the tool box.Turn on the switch to let the water tank absorb water from the lake, then pick up the king carp from the ground and throw it in.

Not long after Kojiro threw King Carp into the tank, a Pokémon bit his bait.

"Here we come, a Pokémon has taken the bait." Kojiro said excitedly.

Then Kojiro and the Pokémon in the water also dealt with it, and pulled it up to have a look.Still a king carp.

"It's the carp king again." Kojiro said disappointedly.

Ah Hai comforted:
"It is very common to catch the carp king by fishing, after all, most of the Pokmon in the lake are carp kings.

Only a few are other Pokémon. "

"That's it." Kojiro said.

"Although the carp king is very common, his evolved Gyarados is not a common Pokmon." Taichi said.

"Everyone knows how powerful the carp king is when it evolves into a Gyarados. But there are a few carp kings that can evolve into Gyarados." Kojiro said.

"I heard from other anglers that there are tyrannosaurs living in this lake. It's just that few people have seen it." Ah Hai said.

"Really! If only I could catch the Gyarados." Kojiro said excitedly.

"So what about fishing? Have you ever beaten a Gyarados?" Tai Yi complained.

Hearing Taichi's words, Kojiro, who was very excited at first, said in a low voice like the eggplant beaten by Shuang:
"It's true, I can't beat it if I catch it, and I can't subdue it."

"By the way, Taichi, Kojiro. I'm going to build a wooden boat. Do you two want to come together?" A Hai asked suddenly.

"Okay, why don't you come." Kojiro said.

Taichi asked curiously: "Kojiro, you can also build ships, why didn't I know?"

"Uh... no." Kojiro scratched his head in embarrassment.

"No, it's nothing. I don't know how to build ships. I learned all the methods of building ships from books." Ah Hai said.

"Okay, I'll go back and read the book to see how to build a ship. Ah Hai, when do you plan to start building a ship?" Tai Yi asked.

"I have to prepare the wood for shipbuilding before I can start building the ship. I heard that the wood needed for shipbuilding seems to need to be treated before it can be used for shipbuilding." Ah Hai said.

"It seems to be, I have heard of this statement." Kojiro said from the side.

Then Taichi and Kojiro caught a king carp from time to time.In the evening, Taichi and Kojiro still found nothing.

Ah Hai caught a mosquito coil tadpole, but Ah Hai did not catch it.After releasing all the carp kings in the water tank, Taichi and Kojiro are ready to return to the manor.

"Ah Hai, will you continue fishing tomorrow?" Tai Yi asked.

"Of course." Ah Hai replied.

"Let's discuss about shipbuilding tomorrow," Tai said.

"Okay, I'll go first." Ah Hai said.

Back at the manor, after dinner, Taichi and Kojiro went online to find out how to make a wooden boat.

Knowing that the wood needed to make wooden boats, the best kind is red cedar.I just don't know where this wood grows.

The next day, Taichi and Kojiro came to the lake in the southern suburbs of Binhai City.Seeing that Ah Hai was already sitting there and started fishing.

"Akai!" Kojiro shouted, waving his hands.

"Hey. Come quickly." Ah Hai also waved his hands and shouted.

After Taiyi and Kojiro passed by, Tai said to Ah Hai, "Ah Hai, you came so early."

"Of course, fishing is about perseverance, so that you can catch rare Pokémon." Ah Hai said.

"So that's how it is." Kojiro acted as if I understood.

"Ah Hai, I checked and found that a kind of wood called red cedar is the best for shipbuilding. Do you know where it is available?" Tai Yi asked.

"Sequoia. Let me think about it." Ah Hai said.

"This kind of red cedar is made of good material and strong toughness. The boats made of it have high buoyancy, can carry heavy loads, are light, sensitive and durable." Kojiro introduced.

After listening to Kojiro's introduction, Ah Hai also remembered where there is such a red cedar.

"I remember, it's near this lake. Go south along the path to the south.

In a short while you can see a redwood tree.It's just that there is a group of big armor living there.Their favorite food is redwood sap. "A Hai said.

"The sap of this kind of red cedar is Dajia's favorite food. If we go to cut the red cedar, we should be attacked by Dajia." Tai Yi said.

"I haven't thought about this question." Ah Hai said.

"Besides, we cut down the red cedar trees, what will Dajia and the others do if they have no food?" Kojiro asked.

"We shouldn't need a few trees to make wooden boats. Ah Hai, are there many redwoods there?" Tai Yi asked.

"It's a lot, it's a forest, we only need a few, and it won't affect Dajia's eating. It's just that Dajia regards it as his own territory and won't let us cut down trees." Ah Hai said.

"It seems that we have to think of a good solution." Tai Yi said.

"You say, I'm going to attract Dajia's attention, how about you take the opportunity to cut down trees?" Ah Hai asked.

"It's not enough to attract attention, it's better to piss them off and lure them away. Then we can cut down the tree. I have a flying mantis, and I can cut down the tree in no time."

Tai said.

"But after the tree is cut, how do we transport it away?" Kojiro asked.

"I have a Haoli, which can carry two trees at a time. I calculated that the red cedars there are very large, and we only need four." Ah Hai said.
