Chapter 523: Meaty Aroma Airship (1/2)

Merlin’s speed was extraordinary. Everybody was astonished.

The huge worm’s skin was patched up by her until there was only one hole left. Then, she dragged the White Dwarven Artifact Cannon and stuffed it into the hole, firing a shot into the worm.

The huge worm’s body rapidly bloated up. The flesh inside its body was smashed into piles and separated from its skin.

“So violent...... She directly shot the cannon inside its body! The insides have been churned into a mess. Does Ayrin still have his appetite?”

Apart from Ayrin, every sane person could not help but lose their appetite.

However, they immediately knew their concerns were unnecessary. Ayrin shouted towards Merlin, “Merlin, you’re so smart! Why didn’t I think of this method? I don’t have to chop it up if I’d done that!”

Merlin did not slow down at all and changed her arms once in a while. The worm was first bloated up by pumping more air into it, causing it to expand to double its original size.

Next, the interior of the worm was separated into several sections.

The worm’s flesh was piled up in one of the sections. Another section was remodeled into a control room that could hold dozens of people.

The control room was reinforced with thin metal plates. Crystal sheets were fixed onto the openings on all sides to allow the people in the control room see the situation around the airship.

At the same time, there were wind holes at the top, bottom and both sides. Metal propellers were installed at the wind holes.

The wind generated by these propellers could control the movement of the airship. At the same time, the propellers were not exposed outside, so they could not be attacked easily.

The arcane resistance of the worm’s skin was astonishing. It could even defend against Merlin’s cannon shots.

Apart from the wind holes, Merlin installed a few shooting windows. The White Dwarven Artifact Cannon was set up in one of them.

“Unbelievable!”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

It did not feel like standing inside a worm when they stood in the control room.

Merlin only took less than ten minutes to complete everything. More importantly, she did not rush to build it as each metal plate in the control room was carefully welded and the welding lines even created a beautiful pattern. Gems were used to decorate the inside.

Those who had not witnessed the process would never imagine the interior was filled with chunks of flesh ten minutes ago.

After completing the control room, Merlin continued her work in the section next to the control room. She made two spherical containers over several meters in diameter. There was an airtight lock-type lid above the two spherical containers. At the same time, many pipes extended out to various parts at the bottom of the airship.

After completing all of that, Merlin signaled to Ayrin.

“It’s already completed?”

Ayrin watched Merlin’s gestures, then at the two huge containers. He suddenly realized something and laughed, “Merlin, you’re saying I can use arcane skills to fill them up with water, then cook the meat? We can drive the airship and boil meat to eat at the same time! Merlin, you’re so considerate!”

Merlin clearly looked dumbfounded.

“That’s definitely not it.” The group was speechless as they saw Ayrin getting excited.

If it’s about the pot to cook meat, why would it need to be so delicately made? There are also pipes connecting it to the outside.

“It’s the steam power auxiliary device.” The black-haired man groaned, “Although some lightening arcane power can provide the lift for the airship, it cannot provide sufficient acceleration force. Most of the large airships in the Era of the War with Dragons are equipped with such a device. However, they were equipped with gems that could provide an infinite water source and gems that could boil the water indefinitely. The iron ball siege cannon made by the Mountain Dwarves used this principle. They used the powerful pressure generated by steam to launch huge iron balls. However, we are currently limited in materials. We don’t have gems for the water supply or for heating. We need arcane masters to control it with arcane skills. Hence, Merlin has set up two sets of this device. While one set is getting filled up with water from arcane skills, the other set will boil the filled water, and vice versa. If the process were automated by gems, we would only need one set.”

“I see! By making use of the propelling force from the pressure accumulated in the steam, we can accelerate the airship! Merlin, you’re incredible! You can even come up with alternatives when we are lacking materials. In comparison, we only need to spend a little more arcane particles.”

Ayrin scratched his head in enlightenment, “But if we are using the steam, there shouldn’t be a problem cooking meat inside too, right?”

By then, Merlin seemed to understand him. She nodded.

Are they really going to cook meat in that?”

The group almost tripped.

First, they decided to use the skin of the worm to build an airship, so that they can take all the meat. Now, they are even using the steam power auxiliary device to cook meat...... Ayrin really has a boundless imagination regarding food.

“Scary monster master...... Using the skin of the worm to make an airship that will carry its own meat. At the same time, he’s cooking its meat inside of it...... The steam flowing out will come from meat soup. The exterior of the airship will be filled with a meaty aroma......”

The five monsters felt Ayrin was perverted to the extreme. They trembled non-stop.

“Oi...... Are you feeling cold?”

Ayrin looked at the two ‘huge pots’ excitedly, then saw the five monsters trembling non-stop. So, he pointed at the two huge pots and asked the five monsters with good intention, “These two pots are large. They seem to be able to fit all of you, do you want to take a soak to warm up?”

“What!?”

“You want us to go in?”

“You really intend to eat us!”
