Phosphorus, Airship and Silver Dragon Chronicles

Chapter 39 [Upgrade and Modification Complete] Tier 3 Roja's New Blue Dragonfly and New Teammates!

Roya speculated that the Valkyrie's extraordinary abilities might be related to invisibility.

Moreover, her level will not be lower than the fifth rank.

Otherwise, Wendell wouldn't have gone unnoticed.

This is also why Roya wants to level up as soon as possible.

Extraordinary defensive abilities!

Fortunately, Roya's mechanic character is similar to Ron's; he's an invaluable tool. If you can't win him over, forcibly taking him away is better than killing him.

"My stance is consistent: we are hunters and will not join any political organizations. However, my relationship with Colonel Roger is quite good, and I am open to cooperating on adventures and hunting, but I will not participate in any political activities."

Luo Ya's attitude was firm.

Isabel's voice was clear and bright, like the ringing of a wind chime, but her tone was slightly stiff.

"I originally wanted to discuss cooperation."

How did you know I would come here?

"Didn't you guys approach me first? I've heard your story and your ability assessment, and I plan to contact you privately after the membership assessment begins, especially when you're in trouble and isolated, it will be easier to reach a cooperation agreement."

Roya thought to himself, "Good heavens, isn't this the same method as Wendell's?"

However, in chaotic times, even the government will forcibly conscript soldiers. It's already good enough that they can save you before discussing cooperation; we can't ask for too much.

"What kind of collaboration is this that requires my involvement?"

Isabel crossed her arms, hesitated for a moment, then decided to disobey orders and inform Roya in advance: "We need your mechanical and unlocking abilities to break Louis Giles and another veteran of the Missionaries of Faith, who are imprisoned in the most secure prison in Mayman County."

Is this related to Giles again?

Roya suspected that Giles might have deliberately committed a serious crime and been imprisoned in order to rescue his senior, the expert soldier.

In fact, the first time Giles asked him to go find Colonel Rogge in the Hills Mountains was to find out in advance whether his abilities were really as powerful as Colonel Rogge said.

Generally speaking, unlocking mechanical devices requires a genius mechanic specializing in differential mechanisms.

However, for Roya, unlocking such a trivial matter didn't even require a difference engine.

In principle, he no longer wanted to be involved in the affairs of the Ming Army.

But he also coveted the Stealth Dragon Balls immensely.

He became even more envious after seeing Isabel lurking in the hot springs and fooling Wendell and Emil.

Moreover, given that it's difficult to achieve both first place in the membership assessment and capturing the Hidden Dragon Balls, having the Valkyrie capture them is a choice that's more of an adult's "I want it all" approach.

"We'll talk again once you get the Stealth Dragon Ball."

It's a deal.

Isabel emerged naked from the bath and stepped onto the black rocks on the shore, seemingly oblivious to everyone else. She calmly said, "The bath is yours now—this year's membership assessment is packed with powerful individuals. There's no room for first-tier extraordinary beings to survive. We can't keep relying on women to protect you."

Through the dispersed blood energy, Roya was able to clearly see Isabel's full appearance. She was of medium height, with a well-proportioned figure, full and powerful thighs, and slender and shapely calves, making her appear exceptionally agile.

The slightly reddish skin radiated vitality.

She had a classic almond-shaped face, and a pair of wine-red eyes that were like a lake submerged at the bottom of the sea, dull and lifeless.

Her features were delicate and refined, but her expression was unreadable.

Only her short, wine-red hair, which dried quickly as she tossed her head, bounced up and down, looking exceptionally cool and refreshing.

Everything about it is great, but unfortunately, this isn't a human body!

From top to bottom, it's all a mixture of machinery and advanced fuel materials.

Only a pulsating, burning heart remained, which Roya's blood and will could not penetrate.

This proves that only her heart is human.

This is exactly the opposite of Akali, whose entire body is human except for the difference engine buried in her abdomen.

A robot in human skin, a human burning with passion in its machine skin — Luo Ya still underestimated the technological level of this world.

In the blink of an eye, Isabelle was wearing a red and white striped bodysuit, which made her look even more dreadful than if she were naked.

Luo Ya noticed that, compared to the imperial women who liked to wear palace attire, the women of the Ming Dynasty preferred to wear tight-fitting clothes.

"What's wrong with being protected by a woman? I was born with bad teeth, so I like to be a kept man."

Isabelle zipped up her jacket and glanced at Roya before leaving.

"You know too many secrets of the Destiny Army. You don't necessarily have to help the Destiny Army, but if I find out that you have sided with the Empire, I will kill you with my own hands—whether you are a saint or a witch, no one can protect you."

Roya hates being threatened the most.

Especially when facing a mech-shell-burning being, as long as the level difference isn't ridiculously large, he doesn't need Wendell and Emil's help at all; he can subdue the so-called Valkyrie all by himself.

He smiled slightly, showing no sign of being intimidated.

"The secrets of the Ming Dynasty Army were all forced upon me by you. I will find a way to forget them. If you see me defecting to the Empire, remember to listen to my explanation. I especially like to achieve my goals indirectly."

Emil breathed a sigh of relief after Isabel left.

In the blink of an eye, she turned into a slime again, lazily sprawled on the surface of the pool, enjoying the sensation of the rippling water.

He muttered to himself, "Human women are so despicable; even a sixth-tier transcendent being knows how to seduce men!"

He was actually a sixth-tier transcendent being!

Roya believed that spirits could sense blood energy.

If the third person on the bounty list is already a sixth-tier superhuman, then wouldn't the top two be even stronger?

It seems that this membership assessment is destined to be anything but peaceful.

Fortunately, he purchased the guaranteed upgrade package and had also formed an alliance with the Valkyrie Sky Hunters and the Blade-Stabbing Sky Hunters in advance.

As for Emil's accusation that Isabel seduced him, let's hear his defense: "She is a Valkyrie of the Army of Destiny, how did she seduce me?"

"Isn't there water mist? I didn't see anything!"

"Superhumans all use blood energy to see; didn't the captain just disperse his blood energy?"

"I'm not that superficial; I see much deeper—this woman, apart from her burning heart, is entirely mechanical!"

Emile fell silent and sank into the water.

In the blink of an eye, she transformed into Isabel and swam from the water to Roya's side.

Her movements were clumsy, like a bear climbing a tree, twisting her limbs and rubbing against each other in an attempt to create ambiguity.

Luo Ya had just taken a potion to boost his blood energy.

A mouthful of blood gushed from his nose!

He quickly wiped the blood from his nose and shouted, "Where did you learn these vulgar moves? You're so unprofessional! Go learn from Ishtar; she's a succubus, she's an expert in this area!"

Unprofessional and spitting blood —

Emil looked slightly dejected.

"The captain is a mechanic, and what mechanics like most are mechanical women."

, 7

Roya saw through her subservient mentality, which was an attempt to please others.

"I like useful people, regardless of race or gender."

"I knew it! The captain likes me, waaaaaah, captain, my captain—"

Emile was so moved that tears streamed down her face, until she was completely drained and turned into a slime, sticking to Roya's entire body.

Across from him, Wendell, with her jade-like arms like lotus roots, was fast asleep and showed no sign of waking up.

The slightly floating breasts rose and fell with the water's ripples, swaying and dancing among the fluttering leaves.

The pool was filled with a soporific atmosphere.

That night.

Emil's high fever persisted, and three days later she quietly advanced to the fourth tier!

Luo Ya also officially accepted the medicinal bath training with targeted medication!

He combined Akali's teachings on blood control with his daily combat with Emil.

Luo Ya soaks in the hot spring every night.

I went to the modification plant this morning to supervise the armor modification process.

In the afternoon, he had a one-on-one combat drill with Emil at the lakeside training ground.

Emil, in her human form who was not good at fighting, suppressed her blood energy to the same level as Roya and practiced the most basic physical skills with Roya.

She did not disappoint Luo Ya's affection for her, and with a serious and responsible attitude, she beat Luo Ya into a pulp time and time again.

"Emile, you don't need to take this so seriously. It's normal for mechanics not to be good at physical combat."

"Mechanical devices can block physical attacks, but they may not be able to block supernatural abilities. Only a strong physique can reduce damage. All I know is that if the captain doesn't get beaten up by his teammates now, he'll get beaten up by the enemy in the future!"

"Ouch, be gentle—"

A week later, Luo Ya, bruised and battered, successfully advanced—

Transcendent Level Two!

The pressure and thickness of the blood and qi have doubled!

Walks with a swagger!

"It works! Akali's medicinal bath is effective!"

Overjoyed, Roya pretended not to have leveled up yet and beat Emil up in the lakeside training ground.

Emile silently endured it.

After being beaten black and blue by Roya, she even stretched her slender wrist to Roya's mouth: "Captain, drink some of my blood, it can quickly heal your black and blue face and restore your manly virility."

Luo Ya was skeptical, but tried some.

Salty.

It has a slight ambergris scent.

After drinking a few sips, the swelling on my body did indeed subside and heal quickly.

But it's not very useful.

He was immediately beaten up by Emil, whose level was suppressed to the second tier, and ended up with a bruised and swollen face.

Then, continue drinking blood —

Roya suspected that Emil was using this method to make him drink blood in order to speed up his leveling up.

Émile, you really... I'm going to cry my eyes out!

"Ouch, be gentle—"

half a month later.

Midnight.

Luo Ya leaned against the poolside and quietly broke through in his dream.

Blood filled the pool!

It blends into one with Emile, who floats and ripples on the surface of the pool.

Emil, who had been working hard for more than half a month, was sleeping soundly and did not wake up.

Opposite Roya, Wendell, who had been sleeping soundly by the pool, slowly opened his eyes, his whole body shrouded in black mist.

It's Ishtar!

She crossed her arms around her chest, creating a majestic height unique to the Demon King, and looked down at Roya.

"A saintly woman, sharing desires with a man, Wendell, oh Wendell, are you the succubus, or am I?"

As Roya emerged from his dream, he felt his blood surging, especially upon seeing Ishtar shrouded in black mist, which caused his blood pressure to spike.

"Neither of you are. The succubus is at the Saintess Palace!"

"Bleeding during a breakthrough is a sign of blood energy going out of control. It usually happens to geniuses and is a good sign of falling into demonic ways. I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Being a waste is just an illusion. Your true blood energy talent cannot be detected."

"Is it possible that the dragon blood is the effect? ​​— I was able to advance so quickly thanks to Emil this time, so I should give Akali less money."

Just then, the flower fence gate creaked open.

"You'll get your money back this time, but next time you catch a high-level Spirit Burning cultivator and come to me for medicine refining and cultivation, I can give you a 20% discount."

Akali, dressed in a white lab coat, came to the poolside herself.

Upon seeing Ishtar, he showed no surprise, confirmed that Roya had advanced to the third tier, and had him sign the treatment plan.

Luo Ya reluctantly signed the document.

The last time I heard about a 20% discount was when Mica Hunting Grounds promised an extraordinary factory coupon.

"After passing the assessment, we will not return to Shepa City."

"It's alright. Our main store is on the Mary Gwent. I've been working on a few experiments that are progressing very quickly, and I'll be moving to the main store soon. See you on the Mary Gwent."

"Do you know Isabel?"

"Of course, she's one of our top clients, and perhaps you have that potential too."

The next day.

Roya personally escorted the fully healed Ron and his awakened, reconstructed sister Lilisa onto the steam train.

After regaining consciousness, Lilysa had Akali give her a face that looked like a boy's.

Her awakened ability is to shrink her body, and her achievements in the West India Company are likely to surpass Ron's.

-

Luo Ya felt a mix of emotions.

Lilisa was overjoyed: "Thank you, Captain Roya, you're a hero! I wish you all the best in your induction exam!"

After spending more than a month together, Ron was also reluctant to part ways.

In his eyes, Roya was like another version of himself who had realized all his dreams.

Even for someone as outstanding as Roya, the dangers he faces are increasing day by day.

This is the hunter.

"I hope to see you again, Captain Roya."

Luo Ya patted him on the shoulder: "Be careful. If you encounter the same danger again, remember to protect yourself and your sister first."

"Yes, I'll remember that."

Three days later.

Liver Armor Shop.

The brand new Blue Dragonfly is finally finished!

Dark blue paint.

Blue Dragonfly logo.

He is 3.8 meters tall, only slightly taller than his previous 3.3-meter height.

It retains the agile, headless design and can transform into a four-winged, dragonfly-like flapping-wing aircraft.

The cockpit is slightly enlarged and has a two-seat design, but the instrument panel can be temporarily lowered to become a third seat.

Except for the wings, almost all the other materials and weapons of the aircraft were replaced with high-end products from the Yellow Sand Guard.

Machine guns, harpoon guns, steam blades, and flamethrowers—all upgraded!

New additions include pursuit rounds, smoke grenades, and illumination grenades.

And the trump card, Arden's double-fist red-hot armor-piercing mode, has been retained!

The main engine is a small, three-stage steam boiler.

The secondary engine is a hidden, Tier 5 built-in micro-boiler from Arden.

Finally, the difference engine was a miniature dual-color lattice difference engine restored by Roya.

Overall.

Compared to the yellow Sand Guardian, the new Blue Dragonfly has greatly enhanced mobility and intelligence, but is slightly inferior in strength and load capacity.

Compared to the Ardennes, the Blue Dragonfly has slightly weaker close-range mobility, but its long-range combat and aerial dogfighting capabilities are greatly enhanced.

The final cost exceeded expectations, reaching three thousand gold dollars.

As agreed, the fee will be fixed at 2,500 gold nars.

The remaining parts were made up of the remaining armor materials.

The old shopkeeper was somewhat reluctant to stroke the blue dragonfly's shell.

"Thanks to Captain Roya's amazing design, this modification has been a huge upgrade to the skills of our shop's mechanics!"

"You should have said that before you took the money."

Luo Ya shrugged and smiled.

At this moment, the old shop manager and a group of young mechanics surrounded the Blue Dragonfly's feet, asking Luo Ya if they could take a photo together.

"certainly."

Luo Ya went to the desktop steam camera and took photos of everyone himself, thus avoiding the possibility of being in the picture.

Goodbye, everyone!

Luo Ya leaped onto the Blue Dragonfly cockpit.

Turn around and head to the weapons and fuel shop in Shepar City.

He used the remaining few hundred gold coins to purchase various types of ammunition, standard phlogiston, and high-pressure phlogiston.

Inside the cockpit.

Luo Ya dispersed his third-tier blood energy, which seeped into the micro differential engine through the phlogiston filling port.

"Soul Connection, Activate!"

Inside the differential engine, billions of pigment dots were instantly illuminated, like a constellation of stars shining brightly.

Infinite connectivity.

Emerging rapidly.

The awakening of the phallus!

The blue dragonfly opened its ice-blue dual-stage phlogiston lamp eyes.

"Captain, I'm here."

His voice entered Roya's mind in the form of a possessed spirit.

"Your primary task is to suspend my previous orders upon disconnection and immediately search for and rescue people of equal danger level, with priority given to me, Wendell, and Emile respectively."

"Yes, Captain."

"What name do you want?"

"Please name me, Captain."

"Little Blue, do you like it?"

"What the captain likes is what Little Blue likes."

Luo Ya felt like he was talking to himself.

How do you discern the captain in your eyes?

"I can sense the connection from the captain."

"Very good, I will teach you the rest slowly."

Amidst the billowing steam, the blue dragonfly soared into the sky, returning to the Wide Silence, which hovered high above Shepa City.

On the deck, Wendell took a sip of black tea and looked up at the blue dragonfly's icy blue eyes.

"It's analyzing me."

Roya leaped out of the Blue Dragonfly's cockpit and excitedly introduced it to Wendell and Emil: "This is our new teammate, Little Blue—its intelligence will soon surpass yours, Wendell."

"You overestimate me, Captain."

Wendell smiled indifferently, completely unconcerned about Roya's sarcasm.

"I think it's smarter than me."

Emil chimed in, then rubbed his hands together eagerly and asked, "Two days left, Captain, can we set sail now?"

Luo Ya gazed at the sea of ​​clouds and waved his hand.

"Let's go! Destination: Skywalk Island, membership assessment!"
