With the swift initiation of the Alchemy Sea Ship, its speed gradually stabilized.
Asira suddenly jumped up and slapped the Mage on the head, causing him to stumble.
"Silver Badge! Did you set it to Extre Speed mode?"
Faced with Asira's furious roar, the Mage nad Silver Badge smiled awkwardly and quickly defended himself: "I had no choice. I've only checked this ship once and have never used it officially, just roughly looked at the instructions."
He then added, "The customization requirents you gave were so vague, and the ship has countless bizarre functions."
Indeed, although the ship was made by the Night Watcher, it belonged solely to Asira. She almost exhausted all her Contribution Points, exchanged for resources, and commissioned the craftsn of the Alchemy Laboratory to build this ship for her.
Asira bared her teeth at Silver Badge, then glanced softly at Ina in her arms.
"Not scared, are you?"
Ina's little face showed a rather helpless expression, reiterating once more: "I'm no longer a child."
Asira just smiled, then said to Ina and the Blood Race children who were also brought onboard: "I've prepared a surprise for you, it's the room you'll be resting in. I hope you like it." Saying so, she lightly tapped the table.
The door opened, and a very cute Alchemy Penguin waddled in. It wore a gentlemanly outfit resembling a suit, complete with a top hat and a monocle over one eye.
"Butler, I'm leaving these children to you."
The Alchemy Penguin laughed twice with a quack.
"Leave it to ."
This successfully drew the children's attention, even the usually proud Ina showed a curious look.
The children excitedly followed behind the Alchemy Penguin, cheerfully running out.
"Is this the scene you wanted to see after spending all your savings?" Silver Badge asked.
Asira nodded: "This is my debt to her, and not just because of that. War has brought suffering to more and more lives, and the newly-born Blood Race children endure even more pain. On the road to finding them and taking them to a new ho, I hope they attain so solace and hold more hope for a bright future."
"Hahaha, you should have made up your mind earlier. There are even more adorable children waiting for us to rescue!" The Dwarf laughed heartily.
The children were taken to the bottom of the ship. For them, this was truly the beginning of a dreamlike voyage.
"Welco to the bedroom area for tonight!"
The butler of the Alchemy Ship—the Alchemy Penguin waved its fin-like wings.
As they went downstairs, each child carried a small backpack to store their personal belongings in the future.
At this mont, the copper bells on the children's backpacks suddenly floated up and embedded into the star-shaped grooves of the cabin doors.
With a "click," the hexagonal beehive-shaped sleeping pods rotated and unfolded, each compartnt hung with glowing lanterns.
The floor was paved with special fluorescent pebbles, which would ripple with fine patterns of light when stepped on, and covered in a layer of faint and invisible mist like clouds, adding a dreamlike quality.
"Ah ah ah! This place is amazing!" Tokke exclaid joyfully, completely imrsed in delight within the cabin.
"Hold onto your Moonlight Pillows, they might 'protest!'" The Alchemy Penguin lightly pecked at a boy who tried to use his pillow as a seat and said in a serious tone.
"Beware of the rabbit from the Bedti Fairy Tales Collection biting your ear—ah, it's already bitten!"
This wasn't just a joke.
True enough, the pillow embroidered with carrot patterns suddenly grew a furry tail, furiously pulling the boy towards the bed covered with Magic Soft Cloud.
Unlike the dreadful folks on the Blood Race pirate ship, here, there was only endless joy.
"Hahaha!"
The cabin was filled with children's laughter stemming from novelty.
Even Adam, though forcibly maintaining a serious expression, couldn't hide his inner excitent, touching things here and there.
When a child pounced on the bed wanting to sleep, the bedding would automatically cocoon into a warmth-preserving shape. If the child turned over and kicked the blanket away, the vines at the bedhead would quietly tuck the corners of the blanket back under his feet.
All of this was as fantastical as scenes you would only find in stories.
"At night, this is your ho, for now. Shall we go look at other places, how about it?"
"Will it be more fun?"
"Of course, aren't you hungry?"
"A little bit, but I can bear it!"
"No need to hold in your hunger on the bed, co on, children."
Through special programming and personality setting adjustnts, this penguin had beco a professional child caregiver. In the Eastern Wilderness, this kind of core program was sold in professional Alchemy Workshops.
As the children's stomachs protested audibly, the Alchemy Penguin led them into an archway emitting rainbow fog.
Mushroom-shaped stools surrounded an oak-barrel dining table, with an Alchemy Cauldron simring blueberry-colored thick soup at the center of the table. The lid was lifted by steam, making "puff puff" sounds like it was dancing a tap dance.
"Reach out to catch your Cloud Plates!" As soon as the butler finished speaking, the cotton clouds on the ceiling rustled down light as feather porcelain plates, with ceramic cats yawning at the rims, tails curled into spoon shapes.
Ina's eyes shone.
The most magical was the seasoning bottle rack—the salt jar was a miniature snowy mountain; twist the top, and salt flakes like snow would fall; the pepper bottle contained an irritable fire lizard, turn it upside down, and it would spray fiery pepper powder.
Of course, these were cleverly designed appearances, not actual items inside.
When a red-haired girl secretly added three tis the sugar frosting, her muffin suddenly grew wings and flew around the room, only to be caught by the Alchemy Penguin with a net.
"Can't put too much sugar!"
Due this Alchemy Ship primarily catering to a troop of Soul Guardians, these areas for amusing and caring for children were managed by specialized Alchemy Puppets.
Even the chef is a large, fat cat in appearance, stuffed inside with all kinds of nutritious als. Its soft body makes children unable to resist teasing it during als, and with its specially set gentle temperant, this upright, human-like fat cat only laughs heartily even when bothered.
After the children eat and drink to their fill, it's ti for learning and gas.
There's a dium-sized study room nearby.
The Alchemy Penguin escorted the children inside.
Clearly, this room had also undergone special dreamlike transformation, full of perfect childlike fun.
A galaxy projection flowed across the do ceiling, bookshelves stacked upward like layers, with every leather-bound spine embedded with sparkling gemstone-like eyes.
When a child tiptoed to reach the Dragon Language Poetry Collection, the bookshelves would automatically descend like piano keys, forming steps; if they accidentally knocked over the ink bottle, the floating feather pen would dart over like lightning to catch the ink drops, then angrily knock on the perpetrator's head.
In the crystal globe by the window was a preserved miniature storm; whenever soone mispronounced a geographical term, the thundercloud inside would explode with purple lightning as a "protest."
As the children freely indulged in entertainnt, Asira and others who finished their important tasks also ca to the bottom of the ship.
Actually, this was Asira's first visit here.
Her gaze revealed the curiosity of a cat seeing a yarn ball, completely absorbed in interest while barely maintaining composure.
"Captain, if you're interested, go experience it. Don't suppress your nature." Silver Badge remarked, his face full of amusent.
"Nonsense!"
If only your tail wasn't flicking around like that, I might actually believe you.
