Chapter 48: The Battle Ship

Rizi's workshop was located at the bottom of one of the two towers in the castle. It didn't take long for Floid to make his way there. Once Floid entered the room, he immediately felt an intense heat surround him! The workshop was so hot! The entire workshop was dark with very little light and this made it barely visible. There was a very large structure being worked on in the middle of the room! The structure was hanging in the air from chains and it was covered in a cloth with only some parts of it being visible but it had the general form of a ship. There were lots of ropes tied to it and many dwarves that were hanging on the ropes at various parts were welding the ship. This was the ship that Rizi and Floid designed! The ship that will help them in the invasion of Aquinas!

Once Floid walked into the shop, all the workers immediately stopped and stared at him in surprise! Floid felt like rolling his eyes. They always did this. The workers were shocked that the demon lord was here and they didn't know if they should stop work so that they wouldn't disturb him. Floid waved his hand to tell them to continue as he turned to the left to see Rizi.

Rizi was bent over and she was welding a large tube-like cannon. She was wearing a tank top and a pair of baggy trousers that made her look far sexier than they had any right to. Floid thought she looked a lot like those sexy female mechanics he usually sees in anime. The cannon she was working on had a lot of blue lights glowing along the side and Floid could see how she was constantly turning a knob at the side to calibrate how bright the blue light was. That was the power gauge that would control how much power the cannon released at any time.

Rizi was so focused on the cannon that she didn't even notice Floid coming in! She had to finish this quickly but she also knew that she couldn't make any mistakes! This is the work for the demon lord's army! It has to be perfect!

Floid waited patiently for Rizi to finish the work. He knew that disturbing her here might lead to her losing focus, and it is never a good thing to shock someone when they are working on a dangerous weapon. Once Rizi turned off the welder and took off her glasses with a sigh, her eyes widened into giant orbs once she saw Floid standing there! The demon king has been waiting for me!? Rizi immediately stood up and bowed to Floid and Floid nodded down at his maid.

"You've been working hard, Rizi. Is this the propulsion Cannon that you spoke about before? Were you able to improve the efficiency to twenty percent like you said you would?"

Rizis' face immediately brightened once she heard him praise her and she quickly moved to the side to show him the large cannon! She has been working on this cannon for a while now! This is the cannon that they are going to mount on the front of their ships and the original design was actually made by Floid! Rizi was shocked when Floid gave her the blueprint for the cannon! She never knew that Floid could design megastructures, but it just made him more awesome in her eyes! His designs were brilliant, but Rizi knew that she could improve on them!

She thought that he would be angry at her if she tried to improve them. 'Are you trying to say that my design is inferior?'. This was the first thing that Rizi thought Floid would say. Demon lords are all known for being very prideful and Rizi already knew that Floid was also prideful. But she was shocked when he didn't even complain at all! He just told her to take as many Mana stones as she wanted and then do whatever she wanted! He is very different from all the other demon lords!

*I was able to improve the efficiency as I said! I even increased the output to make the plasma three times hotter! It should be able to reach about two lavaheat now!"

Rizi was so excited as she said this to Floid while showing him the cannon. The term 'lavaheat' was the method of measuring temperature in this world. Floid learned that one lavaheat was about one thousand degrees Celsius. That was the average temperature of lava back on earth, so that means that this cannon will release plasma that can reach up to two thousand degrees Celsius! Floid was actually shocked! When he designed the cannon, he only thought that it would be able to get about one thousand degrees Celsius at most! She was able to double his output! Rizi is really brilliant!

"I hope you're happy with it, my lord,"

Rizi smiled at Floid as she said this and Floid returned the smile as he told her that she did a good job. Rizi almost melted on the spot, but she managed to hold herself together as she quickly turned around! she didn't call the demon lord here to just show him a cannon!

Rizi shouted a loud order to all of the dwarves and everyone stopped working as they came down from the ship. Floid turned and looked at the ship. It was covered with a very large tarp but Floid could tell that it was very slick and long. Like a gigantic battleship that had futuristic and mechanical parts attached to it. The base of the shop had some circular openings on it lined with glowing mana stones and Floid knew that these were the propellers that would help the ship fly.

Rizi shouted out another order and the ground under the shop started to open up! There was a large reservoir of water under the ship and once the floor opened wide enough they cut the ropes holding up the shop and it dropped right into the water with a huge splash!! Floid was at standing far enough so he didn't get wet like the dwarves that were standing closer to the ship, but he couldn't get his eyes off the ship! He felt his heart rate picking up as he realized that the was excited to see what it looked like!

The tarp on the ship was then pulled off and Floid felt his breath catch in his throat. It was beautiful! It looked like something straight out of a futuristic sci-fi movie! Floid knew that he was the one who drew out the design on paper, but seeing it in real life was completely different! Rizi really outdid herself!

Rizi rose her hand up and signaled to another dwarf at the side and the man jumped into the ship and drew a lever back! A large mana stone shone bright blue from under the ship and Floid heard the entire ship release a low him before it started to slowly rise out of the water! The movement was smooth and there were no bumps or shakes at all as it began to float! Floid felt himself grinning before he could even control it!!

When he designed this ship, he knew that it would be amazing, but this is better than he expected! The ship hovered about five meters off the ground and it only stopped there because the tower was too small for it to rise any higher! Floid walked forward and stared at the ship from underneath. The propeller system was working fine and there was also a stable amount of Mana supplied to it. There shouldn't be any problem with the propellers even if they take this ship to war! He put his hand on Rizi's head and grinned down at her.

"Brilliant work, Rizi,"

Rizi giggled as she nuzzled her head into his hand! She was glad her master liked it!
