Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 527: 172. Shipboard Town (2 in 1)

The arrival of the magic ship hardly stirred any waves in Union City.

The magic ship docked at the Golden Commerce Guild’s harbor. The Alchemist faction, intending to trade with the merchant teams on board, sent a team to the harbor a day in advance.

From the start to the end of the trade, the wizard caravan would not leave the harbor area.

On the same day, another dock in the harbor was ready for the Golden Commerce Guild’s ocean-going ship. Amid the sound of steam whistles, it pushed away the waves and sailed into the vast ocean in a slow, heavy manner.

After the ocean-going ship had left, at dusk, the magic ship that passed through the Suman Archipelago set sail.

This ship seemed different from the rest.

It was a huge hemisphere, much like a bowl floating on the sea surface.

Its outermost ship armor was made of one piece of magic metal, airtight, and entirely silver.

Standing by the ship, looking up at this semicircular magic ship over 50 meters tall, anyone’s gaze would be attracted to the matte texture of the ship armor’s surface.

At first glance, the matte texture gave the ship a muted characteristic. The setting sun slanted down, glittering on the sea surface, but the ship didn’t reflect any light. This made the ship seem incredibly steady and understated.

Upon closer inspection, the matte texture wasn’t as simple as an ordinary grainy feel. Its matte texture came from countless fine yet indestructible magic patterns.

The spherical hull of the entire ship was made of magic metal with an “automatic repair” feature.

Once activated, the magic patterns on the hull’s surface would change rapidly, altering the energy reflection rate on the magic metal surface. In just a moment, this magic ship, which initially looked like a bowl, would possess an astonishing energy resistance.

This ship was divided into two areas.

It was split along the cross-section of the hemisphere.

Below the cross-section and inside the hemisphere was the ship’s magical engine, magic cargo hold, magic servants’ assembly hut, the ship’s shock-absorbing buffer layer, as well as the magic ship’s energy hub and pipeline system.

Above the cross-section, it was a shipboard town.

he buildings in this small town were made of magic metal that could change shapes according to the shipowner’s will.

The shipowner was a metal combat wizard named Captain Berkeley, with a strength reaching Nine Rings.

This ship was his metal magic creation, and it could be considered his external magic metal armor.

He was both the shipowner and the captain and navigator.

He controlled the entire ship’s energy system, navigation system, command system, and logistics system.

In the technological ship system, he simultaneously held the positions of the captain, first mate, second mate, and the group leader for the engine and administrative groups.

The difference between magic and technology was brilliantly demonstrated in this captain.

The technological side’s organization division of labor emphasizes “putting people to their best use” and justly distributes everyone’s position and responsibility.

It was different on the magic side. Anything that could be done by the wizard himself and his magic servants would not be delegated to others.

For a technological captain, the ship was just a vehicle, and the crew was the manpower maintaining the normal operation of the vehicle.

For a magical captain, the ship was the magical crystallization of his meditation method, spiritual ocean, and metal magic. The presence of unnecessary crews in his magic crystallization would make him feel like he had mice infesting him at home.

Therefore, after Noland and Denise Green secretly boarded the ship with the Elemental Judgment’s team, most of the “servants” they saw in the shipboard town were played by Captain Berkeley’s magic servants.

These lightweight energy beings fixed themselves into human forms, dressed neatly in work uniforms, supporting a face without facial features made of white energy. They served the customers in an elegant manner.

They were very silent.

Berkeley didn’t give them vocal magic arrays. The pen and paper in their work uniforms became the medium for these magic crew members to communicate with the customers.

Stepping into the shipboard town and seeing the immaculate streets, the spotless metal houses, and then looking at the ribbons and welcome banners hanging in the air of the street, all of these were arranged by the magic servants.

At the entrance of the town, a magic banner displaying dynamic characters read:

“We sincerely welcome the wizards of Elemental Judgment to my magic ship. Our ship is sailing above the nearshore waters east of Alchemist Island at a speed of 26 kilometers per hour. We anticipate entering the open sea in 3 hours. About 5 hours after that, we will enter the deep sea zone.

“The ship’s navigation and services on board will be provided by me and my magic servants. You can enjoy services just like those in a land town in the shipboard town.

“It is worth mentioning that you are very lucky.

“The shipboard town will soon change the style of the city. What you will see later is a shipboard town that I restructured in imitation of the style of Ulnas City. I hope this helps the wizard students of Elemental Judgment adapt to life in Ulnas City in advance.

“Thank you for boarding. I am your faithful and reliable Captain Berkeley.”

The dynamic text announcement on the magic banner was finished.

Those complex magic patterns on the magic metal building surfaces of the shipboard town changed rapidly.

What was originally gray metal buildings had turned into buildings with stone houses, arch-door windows, pointed roof tops, and thick walls with stained glass in just a few minutes.

Noland stared in awe at the pointed ends and red tiles that appeared before his eyes, feeling as if he had traveled to the world of Harry Potter.
