I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

"Yes~Yes~"

After giving a simple response to Shen Gan, Ella walked to the woods and began to clean the stench off the mutant raccoon.

Chapter 10: Making a Magic Airship

After lunch, Ella suggested resting for a while on the spot because she was eager to try to restore the magic airship. At the same time, in order to leave room for processing the mutant beaver skin, she also used the "Wind Blade" to flatten all the nearby bushes that were in the way.

The preparation of the magic battery has been handed over to Iris, although Iris said that she did not carry the corresponding props with her - even if it is a storage prop, the space for storing items has its limits - but that can also be solved with Ella's storage. As for the dissection of the beaver skin, it was handed over to Camisia.

In addition, in order to somewhat decorate the overly ugly fur, Lotte, Angelica and Shen Gan were asked to make the outer layer of fur mainly composed of feathers. Angelica seemed to be quite knowledgeable in this area, and her speed in weaving feathers even exceeded Lotte's. Perhaps because of her girlish heart, one could even see the burning fighting spirit in her blue eyes.

Naturally, Ella herself couldn't be idle either. The first thing she had to do was prepare the spices to remove the odor of the fur. The second thing she had to do was manufacture the blowtorch as the power source and the tail propeller. Since she was the only one who knew about these things, she couldn't ask anyone else for help.

"The spice isn't a problem... Just sprinkle the 'F.Wing' potion on it and it'll be solved. The blowtorch that creates buoyancy can be replaced with a magic circuit that creates flames. As for the propeller at the tail, a rotary circuit will be enough... The main problem is the shape of the airbag and the fit between the various parts."

Looking at the cut wood placed in front of her, Ella began to act.

The first part to be made was the hanging basket that could carry people. Since this part was the simplest, as long as the wood with the "adhesion" magic was attached to it was connected, the connected parts would form a whole. Therefore, as long as the wood itself was strong enough, there was no need to worry about it falling apart during flight.

Next was the silk thread connecting the gondola and the airbag. Initially, they had planned to use thick metal chains, but that would have made the ship too heavy. Lightweight metal wire was considered advanced technology in this world, and there were no workshops capable of manufacturing it. So, in the end, they had to use spider silk obtained from the "Jungle Spider" in the forest on the coast of Barris. It seemed to be quite strong, and even a first-level "Fireball" could not break it unless it was fired continuously.

By the time Ella finished all this, Iris and Camisia had also completed the magic battery and dissection work respectively. However, there were some problems with Luty and the other two who were making the feather skin - there were not enough feathers, so they had to find other things to replace them, such as the "Harpy Feathers", "Evil Eye Wings", "Frost Dragon Skin", etc., which could already be classified as valuable items. By the time it was completed and unfolded, this huge decorative skin had become a strange and colorful appearance.

But Ella's story isn't over yet.

The flame magic device to replace the blowtorch has been prepared, but the propeller at the tail of the airbag has become a problem. Once the propeller is working, the thrust will cause the airbag to be concave inward, so a skeleton must be installed inside the airbag to maintain the shape. However, the airship will inevitably become heavier, and the excessive size is also a problem. A magic device like a blowtorch is not enough to support it. In the end, it can only be replaced by directly filling the airbag with gas - the origin and usage of the gas are told by Camisia in the golden cat's eye. As for the problem of how to lift and lower, wind magic is temporarily chosen to solve it.

Then there was the question of how to adjust the direction of the airship. With only upward and forward power, it was impossible to move left, right or turn around. It would be very dangerous if it encountered air currents. Although I thought about installing propellers in the other three directions, the appearance alone would be very strange, not to mention that the left and right directions would not be able to conform to the streamlined shape.

"There's nothing I can do. I'll just have to use wind magic to adjust the direction..."

In the end, we had to compromise with human magic.

By the time the remaining various problems were resolved, it was already the morning of the next day. Perhaps because making novel items had also ignited the interest of others, the group even cast the magic of "Blessing of Vitality" to eliminate fatigue in the middle of the journey, so they have not felt sleepy until now.

Furthermore, the filling of the frame, the shaping of the propellers, and the modification of the airbag shape were all ultimately done with the help of 'H's Camisia'. According to Camisia, 'H's Camisia' has considerable research in this area, and this is indeed true. Without the help of 'H's Camisia', the airship would have been impossible to successfully produce.

As for the fact that H's Camisia's unusually assertive initiative had caused Ella great distress, it was resolved with Iris's unexpected intervention—not a good thing, because Ella saw in the eyes of the two that they had reached some kind of mutual agreement, like predators discussing how to divide their prey, their extremely aggressive and greedy gazes making her hair stand on end.

Standing in front of the completed shuttle-shaped airship, Ella let out a long breath.

“Phew—that’s it.”

Even so, the actual airship is not very good-looking.

The shell, a messy mess cobbled together due to insufficient materials, was as colorful as spilled paint. The front half was clearly feathers, but the back half had become a membrane. If you had to find a good point, the only eye-catching thing was the "golden canary feathers" inserted into the tail - although such a thing the size of a small mountain flying in the air was enough to attract attention.

In addition, the hanging basket part for passengers is also very ugly, as if it was casually built by a drunk carpenter, with no aesthetic appeal at all. Not to mention the gaps between the wooden boards, some parts even protrude a lot.

Of course, there is no problem with safety and feasibility, but it really cannot make Ella, the maker, happy. It is like building a sand castle to the end, only to find that she has only piled up a lump of earth.

At this point, it was impossible to talk about doing it over again. Ella could only control her gaze and not look at other people - it was too embarrassing - and coughed dryly twice.

"Ahem, do you want to sit on it and take a look...it shouldn't be a problem."

It was Iris's confident voice that answered Ella.

"Of course, this might be a groundbreaking magical item."

"Well, Miss Ella is quite clever in this regard."

"Forgive me for overstepping my bounds, Princess, but if it's possible, I'd like to give Dean the blueprints for this magic item. If we can reduce the cost and mass-produce it, it might become a means of transportation that replaces horses."

"That's right, let me go first!"

"Anjieni-senpai, please wait a moment."

Everyone's reaction made Ella exclaim in surprise.

"Eh? Eh? Don't you think it's ugly?"

"Why do you think it's ugly? Isn't it quite handsome? I remember there was a bird monster called 'Luwuwu' that looked similar to this."

Subconsciously, Ella wanted to reply to Angelini, "This monster called 'Luwuwu' is so pitiful," but she managed to hold herself back in time and took a few steps forward to catch up with the people who were already in front. The winter sun rose from the hill on the other side, covering the originally hazy sky with a layer of purple.

"Hurry up, little Ella, are we about to take off?"

Angelica, who jumped into the basket first, exposed half of her body and waved to Ella.

Influenced by the rising sun behind Angelica, Ella narrowed her eyes slightly and sighed helplessly.

"Ahh, there's nothing I can do."

Then, like everyone else, he jumped into the only magical airship in the world that embodies the wisdom of the Branch of Disaster.

Chapter 11: Dwarf Village

*创世纪6187年3月7日 上午10:31分 矮人领与布鲁泽亚帝国边境

Located in the northwest corner of the continent, the Dwarven Territory, north of the Western Demon Territory, is a triangular, hilly area. Besides the Western Demon Territory, it is also surrounded by the Goblin Territory, the Bruzea Empire, and other mixed-race tribes.

Like the dwarves Ella knew, the dwarves in this world were short in stature and fond of wine. They also had extensive research on magical weapons.

It is said that the number of scarlet-gold magic weapons in the Dwarf Territory is even comparable to that in the Divine Territory. At the same time, since weapons forged by Dwarves usually have excellent performance, most warriors are proud to be able to possess weapons forged by Dwarf masters themselves. Every year, countless adventurers go to the Dwarf Territory specifically to obtain weapons, so that weapons marked with the title of Dwarf Craftsman will be 10% more expensive than weapons of the same level.

Affected by the oncoming airflow, Ella, who was standing in the airship basket, narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Isn't the airship going too fast?"

"That's Aira-chan's responsibility, right? You built the rotating circuit. At this rate, it shouldn't take more than a month to reach the Papal States."

As if recording the flight status, Iris kept writing something on the paper with a pen. This prop interested Iris very much, so Iris took charge of almost all the controls along the way. As for the operation method, it was also very simple. She only needed to put her hand on the magic plate at the end of the basket and inject magic power.

"That's true...but wouldn't it be boring to ride on an airship all the time?"

"Haha, that's not something Ella-chan, who loves to talk about the joy of traveling, would say."

Completely unable to refute, Ella withdrew her gaze and turned to look forward.

The square hanging basket can accommodate twenty people, so our group has a lot of space to move around. However, there is actually not much activity to do. The scenery looking down from above is beautiful, but it doesn't feel novel after a while.

The evidence was that Angelina, who had been very noisy at first, had become unusually quiet now—she exuded an air of boredom. The others no longer looked around, each going about their own business. Fukagami and Ruthie maintained the chess game, while Camisia looked as if she was thinking about something.

The only thing worth mentioning is that perhaps due to the huge size of the airship, every time the airship passes through the woods, the screams of countless animals can be heard below. Occasionally, large birds will appear to protect the airspace. Naturally, they all become food that may be used in the future - it would not be so funny if the monster pecked through the airbag.

Taking a few steps forward, to prevent herself from falling from mid-air—although that was impossible—Ella gripped the edge of the hanging basket tightly with both hands and looked down.

I noticed something strange wherever I looked.

Visible smoke rose from the distant woods, and Ella subconsciously glanced at the "Terrain Search".

"A village built in the woods... Did something happen?"

For a moment I couldn't help but think of the worst.

"No, it could be some special custom, like a ritual, but this level of smoke is truly spectacular..."

Although he was in the air, he could still see the gray-black smoke column even from such a distance, so the village should be quite lively. If possible, he even wanted to go and see it. However, thinking of his current identity, he had no choice but to give up in order to avoid causing trouble.

Ella turned and looked at Iris.

"There's something going on ahead. Let's change direction."

"situation?"

Ella's words made Iris put down her writing and look forward.

"This level of smoke... could it be that we've encountered bandits? No, technically this is already dwarven territory, and bandits are impossible in this kind of environment. So, it must be... a monster?"

"Wait, is it possible that there is no ritual?"

"How could it be a ritual? They must have been attacked by monsters. I'm just passing by there, so why not rescue them? The dwarves might have something good."

The frown quickly relaxed, Iris increased her magic output, and asked the others to change into combat uniforms.

Accelerating at full speed, the airship soon arrived near the village. It looked like the village, with less than a hundred households, was located in the middle of a cleared forest. From a distance, it looked like all the houses were simple ones made of wood and thatch. Old people and children gathered in the square in the center of the village, while young warriors were guarding behind the wooden fence with various weapons in hand. These people had one thing in common - they were generally short in height.

The opponents were "fire-breathing wolves" with a tuft of red hair on their heads and ordinary wild wolves, totaling nearly forty in number.

Neither side seemed to notice the landing airship, so Iris chose to observe nearby for a while.

"...Is this a dwarf village?"

Fukagan, who had already landed from the airship, was observing the battlefield, ready to rush out at any time.

"With this kind of numbers, this village will be wiped out if the dwarves can't come up with a tool to turn the tide."

Following up on Fukagan's words, Camisia added.

Just as Camisia said, apart from the level 9 "Fire-Breathing Wolf" categorized as a monster, the other common wild wolves were only level 3-5, and the highest-level dwarf warrior was only level 7. Coupled with the monsters' superior physical abilities, even a force of nearly 60 dwarf warriors would be unable to defeat them.

Gripping the giant sickle tightly in her hand, Angeline asked what Ella wanted to say.

"Want to help now?"

"It's too early. Although the dwarves have always maintained neutrality and rarely discriminate against other races, this is a village after all. They might have some special beliefs. I don't want to be slandered by them after rescuing them. Rather, let them experience the power of the monsters first. Then our presence will be more effective."

Iris, who was half squatting, waved her hand casually.

“That statement…”

"Are you trying to say that's cruel, Aira-chan? Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Doing what I just said is the safest way. Isn't that what Camisia thinks too?"

There was no answer, but this was equivalent to consent. In order to prevent Ella from looking so lost, Iris could only sigh softly to comfort her.

"Anyway, I'll take action at the crucial moment. For now, just stay on the sidelines and watch, Lotte-chan. I'm counting on you to help me in this emergency."

Compared to magic, Hela's sniping is faster.

"Yeah, okay."

"Ouch——"

With the howling of the fire-breathing wolf as a signal, the battle between the two sides began.

The fire-breathing wolves used ordinary wild wolves as vanguards and supported their attacks with long-range magic, while the dwarves wearing rough armor simply defended themselves with various handheld weapons - rather than weapons, it would be more appropriate to call them farm tools, as their bodies were full of flaws, giving the impression that they had temporarily transformed from farmers into soldiers.

Although the village was well surrounded by a wooden fence, the fence, which was only half a person's height, could not serve as a barrier at all. The wolves only needed to run and jump over the fence. Therefore, the dwarf warriors had to use their weapons to block the wolves at the moment before they were about to jump over the fence. If the soldiers were wearing hard armor, they could do so, but the dwarves here were not only short in stature, but their protective gear was just bones and wood pieces sewn onto clothes. Therefore, the situation could easily turn into a wolf attacking people.

For a moment, the roars of the dwarves and the howling of the wild wolves mixed together, along with the flames shot out by the fire-breathing wolves, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

Looking at this scene, An Jieni bit her lower lip lightly.

"This situation isn't looking good..."

"Well, the dwarves will probably be annihilated. They had the courage to build a village in the forest without any preparations. They don't have any sophisticated equipment, complete walls, chevaux de frise, or traps. This is only natural. It's a miracle that they have survived until now."

Camisia leaned against a nearby tree and explained that although rescuing here would gain the favor of the dwarves and be beneficial to the future of the demon clan, the impact of just one village was too small to warrant leaving Ella to rescue them. In other words, even if most of the dwarf territory was in crisis, she would not think of leaving without orders.

The stalemate lasted for about two minutes, and finally, a level 9 fire-breathing wolf burned down the fence, marking the key point. Victory began to quickly tilt towards the monsters. Seeing a large number of wild wolves rushing into the village, the dwarf warriors immediately rushed to the broken fence to resist, but it was precisely because of this action that the original battle line collapsed in an instant.

"Tsk, 'Magic Shield'."

Finally unable to hold back, Ella raised the Pestle of Heaven's Punishment and cast a "Magic Shield" on the dwarf who was about to be torn apart by the wolf not far away.

Upon seeing this scene, Iris sighed helplessly.

"It would have been more effective if we delayed a little longer, but since Aira-chan has already started, let it go. Monsters with average single-digit levels aren't a problem, so just do what you like."

As Iris finished her words, Angelini rushed out of the bushes like an arrow. Because she had been bullied since she was a child, Angelini physically hated this kind of bullying. If Iris hadn't been emphasizing it next to her, Angelini would have taken action at the first moment.

In fact, when Angeline was still an adventurer, she often did things to help the weak, such as protecting travelers from robbers. Although she has not yet reached the level of calling herself a partner of justice, Angeline is indeed very dazzling in this regard.

With just a swing of the giant scythe, the wild wolves that left the dwarf warriors helpless were easily dealt with. Although it took a little effort to deal with the level 9 fire-breathing wolf - mainly because they were afraid that the clothes full of bows would be set on fire - it took less than five minutes to clear the front battlefield, so that Ella and others who came later could only clean up the wild wolves that sneaked into the village.

After all the fire-breathing wolves and wild wolves were cleared out, the panicked dwarf village sent representatives to receive Ella. They did not choose to meet her inside the house, but directly in the square in the center of the village.

This was an old dwarf with a thin build and a white beard that reached the ground. The old man bowed slightly and thanked Ella in a very respectful tone.

"Thank you very much, benefactor from the demon tribe. I am Galaga, the chief of this dwarf village. If I hadn't met you today and helped us, our village would have disappeared from the continent."

Although she was dissatisfied with her companions' behavior of pushing her to the front as a representative, things had developed to this point and there was no room for retreat. It seemed that every time she encountered such a thing, she would be pushed forward as a representative. Ella couldn't help but have a very subtle feeling.

But now is not the time to think about these things. After driving out other thoughts from her mind, Ella hesitated for a moment - it would be better to first find out whether the other party has racial discrimination.

"Hmm...Won't Chief Galaga be scared when he sees me as a demon?"

"How could that be? You're our village's benefactor. If you're worried about race, there's no need to worry. We dwarves often encounter other races, so there's no racial discrimination like in human kingdoms."

Galaga's slightly hoarse voice put Ella at ease, and she glanced around at the other dwarves in the square - none of them had any malice in their eyes.
