148 El gato resbaladizo

As Ryuu stood in front of his Flying Vessel his mind went back to the events that occurred a few days ago.

Ryuu had been practicing in what was dubbed by his 2nd Mistress as the simulation room, he had been learning how to fly a flying vessel.

"2nd Mistress why do I have to learn to fly the Flying Vessel using this simulation I could simply command it to move."

Nuwa had a disbelieving look on her face as she spoke, "Ryuu we believe you are reading too much stories. In real world every ship has two modes one manual the other is commanding them using telepathic means."

Ryuu looked aghast at hearing that, "But what about controlling staele or some arrays and what not."

Nuwa raised her eyebrow on hearing that, "Why would we use something as cumbersome as that when we have much easier means of control."

Ryuu looked like a kicked puppy all his dreams had been shattered by a few words although his simulations were cool but still his dreams of standing on top of his flying ship as he removed his sword from his scabbard thrusting it forward which his ship to move was in tatters.

At present when Ryuu was being led by his master Maheswara he was giddy finally he would see his 'Flying Vessel', the thought of which made him want to scream in happiness as he would dance around but he held himself.

The think in front of him was a beauty personified, at 1.5 miles long and 0.5 miles in height it was a beauty, not only it looked as if it was nightmarish thing which could be used to conquer an entire planet and are those cannons he had learned about and are those gun turrets he could die happy now.

He was brought out of his fantasy by Maheswara who tapped him on his shoulder as he spoke, "It is beauty isn't it."

Ryuu nodded at him dumbly as Maheswara continued, "I am glad you liked it."

Ryuu's eyes watered with gratitude as he spoke, "Master this think is beyond the word beauty it is so awesome that the word beauty should be redefined solely for it and those guns and cannons on it, it gives the impression that it could be used to capture an entire planet."

Maheswara snorted at that, "Capture a planet it has enough firepower to reduce a planet to dust."

Suddenly Ryuu had a realization as such he asked Maheswara, "Master I have a question, big sisters once told me a gun is useless thing but this ship has tones of those."

Maheswara nodded at that as he spoke, "They are correct, the conventional guns used by civilians of some planets is useless for anyone above high Houtian level, there are some cultivators who use guns but the cost is humongous, when used with projectile, also there are energy based guns but the resource consumed is staggeringly high, take this ship for example normally it can run a month with a single 'Deva Crystal', but if I were to use the guns it would require two such crystals per month."

Ryuu looked confused as he asked, "Master what is a Deva crystal? Is it costly?"

Maheswara sighed as he replied, "Ah I forgot you do not know what a Deva Crystal, well it is a type of crystal used by cultivators of very high realms as a currency as well as an excellent source of Ki during cultivation and no I will not show you one, it will kill you if you come within a few feet of it because your realm is very low."

Ryuu looked a bit crest fallen before he perked up as he spoke, "Master if you are not showing me the crystal because it is dangerous I hope when I will be driving that ship, I will not be exposed to it."

Maheswara gave a puzzled look, "What are you talking? Oh you meant that ship in front of us, do not worry about it Ryuu, it was gifted to me a long time ago by someone and as I was bored and had nothing to do, I removed its interior completely what stands in front of you is just a carcass I kept just for fun."

Ryuu looked flabbergasted at him, "Then what ship will I be using Master."

Maheswara spoke with a hint of pride, "Well do not worry about it Ryuu I will give you one I made for just for you."

As he escorted Ryuu to his ship, Ryuu was greeted by the sight of many different types of ships some small to some humongous, each of them looked different some had an artistic touch other looked as if someone had haphazardly put all the parts together, it was the first time he visited this part of Ayindril, well to be exact one of the places he had yet to explore.

Until they arrived in front of a worn out ship which seemed to have seen better days in comparison to others, it was only a little over 120 meter long and a height of 20 meters. To Ryuu it gave the impression of some feline beast which had its front legs spread as it sprawled on the ground with its head raised, he looked around as it saw the thrusters on the front and back with a hatch on the back for it to open and doors on both sides to enter. The rear part which was like a hind leg of the beast had various kinds of thrusters as well as the front leg with a couple of thrusters there were no windows otherwise it looked a bit old and worn out.

Maheswara stood in front of the ship as he made a dramatic gesture as he spoke, "Well my cute little apprentice let me show you your partner for immediate future 'El gato resbaladizo', let us go inside child."

As they went toward the rear of the ship they were greeted by the a door which opened into a ramp which led them into a small room with red lights glowing all over as soon as the ramp closed, a few words popped on a screen, 'Pressurizing', as various lights blinked all along.

Maheswara, "This ship can be used underwater as well as in the empty voids of space, but to do so you will have to entry and exit through this door, remember to always wait for it to depressurize and pressurize itself or else you might face some severe dire consequences and oh see this lever in case of emergency I mean real emergency from which you may not escape easily use this to override the pressurization cycle, there is another such lever which is on the inside well actually it is the main one, you can also lock the outside one making it useless. "

As Ryuu entered he was greeted with a fully functional interior which looked luxurious and glamorous the exterior didn't do any form of justice to it.

Maheswara smirked as he spoke, "Well Ryuu let us finish your tour."
