Crashing, but behind the spirit simulator

"Oh~ the sea~ my old friend~! Thank you for your generosity! My old, moldy ship has not fallen apart until today!"

Looking at the reed boat being pushed out, Mr. Miguel showed a poetic expression.

"Look! This boat has been ashes for three years, but it's still strong!"

"..."

Uncle, are you sure you don't want to check again?

Rita, who has a wide range of knowledge, feels a little bad.

Let’s not talk about whether the reed boats are reliable on the sea—after all, there is no other choice—but after three years of suffering…emmmmm…

We are going hunting, not sightseeing, okay...

"Don't worry, Rita, if the boat breaks, I will rescue you." Liu Bai patted Rita's shoulder very intimately.

[Rita Compatibility +5%]

That was a rare reassurance for Rita.

"Old Mr. Miguel, have you found other islands around?"

"No." Regarding Rita's question, Miguel shook his head, "There is no land to see around here—even Columbus dared not set sail without sufficient preparation."

"Preparation? You mean fresh water and dry food?" Bianca asked curiously.

"More than that! The real key is to need a strong enough boat-you can't rely on this guy like a canoe in front of you? No way!"

"..."

And you also know that this thing is useless, right?

[Bianca Compatibility +5%]

Hmm... Thinking about Liu Bai's previous words is really reassuring.

[Before going to sea, Miguel talked to Bianca and Rita about shipbuilding and how to cheer up the refugees on the island]

[From the chat, Rita noticed the real name of veteran Miguel—Miguel de Cervantes]

[——Spanish writer who wrote the first modern novel "Don Quixote" in the history of European literature]

"Great writer...Ahahaha! Da-wen-hao? I like this title!"

On the reed boat, Cervantes laughed.

"Mr. Guardian Spirit, please tell me again, do I have any other comments?"

The Cervantes who was wearing it was chatting with Liu Bai—yes, it was with Liu Bai, because this is the world bubble, so there is no need to worry about the impact of the exposure of your own existence on the world .

The specific communication method between the two was Cervantes asked, and Liu Bai used his ability to control the water flow to answer—to be honest, seeing a big writer who is not a girl in the collapsed world, this thing is simply more than Pandas are still rare.

Having said that... It really makes people worry whether this old man has put his mind on controlling the ship.

However, I have to admit that the old man is highly skilled, and the boat did not shake in the rolling waves.

"That's because I'm stabilizing the boat, okay?" Liu Bai sensed the thoughts of the two girls behind, and complained

"Hahaha, these years at sea, today is the most relaxing day for me to go to sea. The existence of guardian spirits is really amazing!"

Cervantes didn't pretend anymore, he laughed and put the rocker aside.

Rita: ...

Bianca;  …

[With your help, the seemingly fragile reed boat sailed smoothly to the scheduled location]

[According to Cervantes, it only takes 15 minutes for the sea monster Leviathan to catch up with their ships after smelling the breath of the sailors]

[And directly below your ship, there is a hidden reef - it can effectively protect the reed boat with a shallow draft from being attacked from directly below]

[Rita and Bianca are ready to fight at this time, but after 15 minutes, you still haven't found the existence of Leviathan - instead you heard the roar of machinery]

"Below! There's something down there!"

Under the mechanical noise, the sharp-eyed Bianca immediately noticed the abnormality underwater.

"Blood! There's blood mixed in the sea water, and there's something fighting the Leviathan down there!"

"—It's a submarine."

After a little searching, Liu Bai discovered the other party.

"What?" A look of astonishment flashed across Rita's face.

In this place... will there be a submarine?

Rita's first reaction was disbelief, but the mechanical noises in her ears became louder and louder, and a large shadow appeared under the water surface—obviously, the other party was floating up.

boom--!

The mysterious submarine cut through the waves and emerged out of nowhere, and the splashed water directly chilled the three people on the boat.

Fortunately, Liu Bai stabilized the boat, so the whole boat did not appear to be overturned.

"Master Bianca, are you alright?"

"D-Of course, who hasn't been a drowned chicken before!"

Although she looked embarrassed, Bianca was still stubborn-from this point of view, she was really similar to a paramecium.

It has to be said that it is indeed the daughter Siegfried raised—even though the future Bianca has become extremely serious.

"Here, towel."

"Um...thank you."

"Thank you."

[Rita and Bianca Compatibility +3%]

"God, my god...I've never seen such a thing...All metal construction, tearing Leviathan's stomach is like tearing paper, and it can even emerge from the water..."

Grandpa Cervantes was shocked when he saw the "high technology" in front of him.

At this time, the giant beast known as Leviathan could only float on the sea and whine—it was not a Houkai beast. Although it had never been seen before, it still seemed to be a carbon-based creature.

"—Are your ships 400 years later all so powerful?"

"Grandpa, you're making such a fuss, even our destiny's transport ship is ten thousand times stronger than this 'iron rusty barrel'." Bianca's small face showed a smug look, "...although we There is no way to drive the battleship in.”

Snapped.

Liu Bai patted Bianca's little head lightly.

"It's not a matter of showing off this kind of thing now-what should a Valkyrie do in such an emergency?"

"I know!"

Bianca waved her hand, as if she wanted to drive away the "hand" on her head, and then, Bianca held the 2nd holy relic tightly in her hand, "Don't worry! Even if these guys come here with bad intentions, we still have them." Ways to deal with them!"

The energy bar of the holy relic is still full.

As a legacy weapon of the former civilization, Bianca is confident that she will seriously injure or even blow up the submarine in front of her.

"Someone from the submarine came out and raised the flag?"

Rita was staring intently at the submarine in front of her.

"Is that... the Jolly Roger?"

【You are staring warily at the submarine raising the pirate flag - obviously, the pirate flag on the sea is definitely something that no one who goes to sea wants to see】

[Afterwards, the steel monster that hoisted the pirate flag lowered four small boats, three of which were responsible for cutting up Leviathan's body, and the remaining one is heading towards you]

"Do you do it?"

Perhaps a little nervous, Bianca subconsciously asked Liu Bai.

Unknowingly, Liu Bai's mature temperament gave Bianca and even Rita a sense of security.

"It's not too late to see what the other party wants to do... Bianca, can you see the crew on the other party's ship?"

"of course."

The Valkyrie's eyesight is much better than that of normal people.

"Look at it, how do you feel?" Liu Bai has already entered the guidance state.

"...not quite a pirate."

After Liu Bai said this, Bianca suddenly discovered something.

The leader on that small boat was a young man, seeing the timid look of the other party, those who didn't know thought they were pirates.

"Yes, you can't accomplish anything by relying on momentum. Miss Bianca, you don't lack decisiveness at all. The only thing left is to observe and think more. In addition, you must learn to be calm anytime and anywhere like Miss Rita."

Liu Bai is back online as a teacher.

"Well...understood." Although Bianca was a little impulsive now, she was still very sensible.

[Bianca & Rita Compatibility +3%]

Did Rita's fit go up too?

As if aware of Liu Bai's gaze, Rita showed her trademark polite smile in Liu Bai's direction.

...Ah, I thought of the symposium at night again.

Liu Bai silently looked away.

"?"

Rita looked confused.

Rita has had this feeling since the very beginning—I always feel that Mr. Guardian Spirit is avoiding me a bit?

Are you overly concerned?

However, it can be confirmed once again that the other party has no malice towards the two of them.

[Because you noticed something was wrong, you didn't immediately choose to attack these "pirates"]

【Not long after, the boat approached your reed boat. As you expected, the other party has no ill intentions towards you】

[After some self-introduction, everyone learned that the green-haired boy in the lead was Jimmy, the pilot of the submarine, and with him, there was also a purple-haired female boatswain Layla, and the submarine behind—— Or the name of the amphibious ironclad ship is Caledonia]

[Through a short conversation, you also found out that the other party didn't have any malice towards you, but felt quite sorry for taking your "prey" away—although it's still impossible to return it]

[Afterwards, Leila showed you their intentions - the captain of the Caledonia wants to invite you to visit her ship]

[In this regard, you are naturally more respectful than obedient]

Chapter 89 The Man in the Iron Mask of the Caledonia

Dim incandescent lamps, faded paint, rusted nuts, old but well maintained rubber cables.

"...It's like a huge time capsule." Rita muttered in a low voice, "It's like the 'Electric Age' described by Jules Verne."

"For example, the Nautilus in "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea"?"

Liu Bai's supplement stunned Rita.

"You mean..." Rita showed a thoughtful look, but then shook her head in denial, "No, no matter what, the so-called Nautilus is just a fictional submarine in the novel, even in the World Bubble. Somewhat absurd..."

Anyway, Cervantes is also a great writer who really existed in the world, and it is understandable that he would fall into the world bubble.

But a fictional submarine... Rita regrets why she didn't take a closer look at the submarine outside.

"And the name of this submarine is Caledonia, but the design..."

"Definitely a late nineteenth century, early twentieth century design."

Little Bianca seemed to have a certain understanding of machinery, "... Where did you get this amphibious ironclad ship? You don't look like people from the [-]th century?"

When it comes to talking straight, Bianca has never changed.

"Indeed it's not—but there's no need to be impatient." Bosun Leila smiled, "The captain will answer your questions in person later, and there is no need for me to do it for you."

"..."

"Come on, the captain is already waiting for us on the bridge."
