CH.515 Airship Research
<span style="font-weight:400">Today I was first visiting the Ruiso Capital, and then I’ll head over to the Hero’s country.
<span style="font-weight:400">At the capital, I was giving his Highness Prince Legio some cards. … Yeah, I know he allowed me to just call him Legio, but sometimes I just think of people by their full titles. Especially if I haven’t talked to them in a while.
<span style="font-weight:400">I always contact Elias when I need help from the Royal family in the first ce.
<span style="font-weight:400">But yeah. Back to Legio. The Card Summoner skill orb was given to him and I promised him some cards, so I’m here to deliver. I’m also lending him a GX style duel disk. I didn’t customize it, because I honestly didn’t know what he would want, and he can pay for his duel disk, like he paid for the skill.
<span style="font-weight:400">But the cards he’d get for free.
<span style="font-weight:400">I had one in mind already, the dragon he rode when I took him dragon riding. That being Felgrand Dragon.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">I like Felgrand Dragon, I do, but I almost never use him. I have so many other dragons that I prefer, so giving one away to be someone else’s ‘boss monster’ just feels like a good idea.
<span style="font-weight:400">Other than Felgrand, I decided on handing him a few warriors. And when I was browsing the list of Warrior monsters I have, I realized I hadn’t given anyone King''s Knight, Queen''s Knight and Jack''s Knight, so I decided on those three.

<span style="font-weight:400">No, I’m not giving him Arcana Knight Joker. At least not yet. Maybe eventually, but because it requires Poly, I highly doubt I will.
Spoiler
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">I did also include a few Spells in the cards I gave him. Nothing special, just a few healing ones. Rain of Mercy, Soul of the Pure and Red Medicine to be specific.

<span style="font-weight:400">And while I was here, I gave a simr package of healing spells to Elias. He didn’t get any for winning against me in a duel, so I decided now would be as good of a time as any to give him a few.
<hr>
<span style="font-weight:400">Then it was time for my visit to the Hero’s country.
<span style="font-weight:400">My visit today was because I wanted to know what kind of airships would be wanted by people. And I also wanted any standard sizes they would have, just so my ships would fit into ces like the docking stations that are already built in therge cities.
<span style="font-weight:400">Getting the standard sizes for airship docks wasn’t difficult, thank god, but everything else was. Understandable, because market research is something people in this world have to use a ton of money on.
<span style="font-weight:400">And luxury items like airships are generally custom built for the customer, so trying to ‘steal’ that information wasn’t exactly something people enjoyed.
<span style="font-weight:400">It was a bit annoying, but I can always ask the nobles I know. Because despite the fact that I did consider it, I didn’t buy out thergest airship manufacturingpany that I could find. But I did consider it. Because if I can’t have what I want, I could just throw money at the problem.
<span style="font-weight:400">But then I’d have the problem of actually having to run thepany, so I decided I wouldn’t be doing so.
<span style="font-weight:400">Instead, I decided to return to HomeBase and write up some letters. I’ll send them off to nobles who I think will be interested in leasing or purchasing an airship from me.
<span style="font-weight:400">Hopefully they will respond with what kinds of airships they’d like.
<hr>
<span style="font-weight:400">I did get some answers, but they weren’t exactly coherent.
<span style="font-weight:400">The high ranked nobles like Duke Burch wanted a luxury ship that could still operate in standard docking stations.
<span style="font-weight:400">Prime Minister Cline was interested in something that could protect the people inside from any and all monsters. Which is understandable and doable. But it should also be sufficientlyfortable for long trips. Which doesn’t really matter since my ships will use the atmospheric dampener tech from the Gradius ships, so they will be able to travel at supersonic speeds without causing sonic booms. At those speeds, you can get to anywhere on the continent in just a few hours.
<span style="font-weight:400">Wendy was interested in abat capable ship. I think she wanted it in case the fissures would be moremon, or maybe she is just otherwise preparing for war. Could be war. Not like the people up north aren’t doing questionable stuff.
<span style="font-weight:400">The Sage’s tower just wanted my research on the ships, which I didn’t share, because it wasn’t magical research. It is technological. And sure, it uses some magi-tech, but I don’t have to share that with the tower. Well, I might, but only after I have a fully functional ship.
<span style="font-weight:400">But still, despite the varying answers, I think I can make a ship that can do all of that. I think.
<span style="font-weight:400">First of all, making a ship to fit the current infrastructure was already my n, so that isn’t an issue.
<span style="font-weight:400">Making it durable enough to defend against any monsters, except maybe SS-rank and above, is definitely doable.
<span style="font-weight:400">And adding weaponry that is effective against S-ranks will deal with what Wendy wanted. And if it is effective against S-ranks, it will work against most humans.
<span style="font-weight:400">Now, as for the luxury part. Naturally I’d use high ss furniture for the ships, but I felt like that might not be enough.
<span style="font-weight:400">I checked the insides of the few ships that were docked at the Hero’s country, so I knew that they really weren’t that special. Sure they had nice couches and sitting areas, and one even had a small bedroom, but none of them were what I would call luxury.
<span style="font-weight:400">Not really their fault, making something that is actually luxurious to fly would be very difficult, considering the magic the ships use to fly.
<span style="font-weight:400">But I should be able to get around that issue. It has been a while since I designed my carriage. It has a spatial distortion magic applied to it that makes the inside of itrger than the outside. So by using that, I can make a standard sized airship that has a massive inside space that can then be used to make things like nice bedrooms, a full kitchen and dining area, and then the standard sitting areas. I can probably also add things like a spa or whatever the customer really wants.
<span style="font-weight:400">So that is what I decided to start working on. A ship that fits all those criteria and can be slightly customized to fit the customers needs.
<hr>
<span style="font-weight:400">But now, pack time. Because after brain work, it is time for brain off work.
<span style="font-weight:400">And I’ll do ten packs each of and .
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">DREV 1
<span style="font-weight:400">Amazoness Trainee; Wattlemur; Final Psychic Ogre; Chain Whirlwind; Wattcine; Bicorn Re''em; Stronghold Guardian; Dark Desertapir; Trident Warrior
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Final Psychic Ogre isn’t bad, just wish it special summoned the Psychic instead of just adding it to the hand. Also, it is LV.5, so you wouldn’t use.
<span style="font-weight:400">Dark Desertapir is fine for the TCG, but useless for me.
<span style="font-weight:400">And Trident Warrior is again good in the TCG. For me, I guess he is alright, because he has decent stats.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">DREV 2
<span style="font-weight:400">Scrap Rage; Naturia Mosquito; mvell Archer; Naturia Forest; Summoning Curse; Amazoness Trainee; Wattbetta; Mystical Refpanel; yful Possum
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Mystical Refpanel is interesting, because a lot of spells target people. So if someone does attack me, I can turn their spell back on them with it. Yes, I have other traps that do the same, but having options isn’t bad.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">DREV 3
<span style="font-weight:400">Elephun; Naturia Mosquito; mvell Archer; Uni-Horned Familiar; Miracle Synchro Fusion; Battle Instinct; Wattcine; Amazoness Vige; Wiseman''s Chalice
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Amazoness Vige isn’t bad. And since it summons ‘from the deck’, it should make me new Amazoness monsters that I can then return to my Collection with Compulse.
<span style="font-weight:400">Wiseman''s Chalice is okay, I suppose. A bit too specific, but it isn’t bad. Even if Monster Reborn is just a better version of it.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">DREV 4
<span style="font-weight:400">mvell Fiend; mvell Archer; Pestilence; Dash Warrior; Wattpheasant; Bicorn Re''em; Final Psychic Ogre; Earthquake Giant; Parallel Selection

<span style="font-weight:400">DREV 5
<span style="font-weight:400">Amazoness Sage; Double Cyclone; Naturia Forest; Wattcannon; Scrap Sheen; Naturia Beans; Amazoness Trainee; Bicorn Re''em; Parallel Selection

<span style="font-weight:400">All repeats, next.

<span style="font-weight:400">DREV 6
<span style="font-weight:400">A/D Changer; Blind Spot Strike; Monoceros; Naturia Forest; Queen''s Pawn; Uni-Horned Familiar; mvell Poun; Desperate Tag; D.D. Unicorn Knight
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Monoceros is another one of those ‘maybe ok in the TCG’ cards. But even then, having to discard a spell can be quite costly. Sure his effect to special back a Tuner is nice, but is that enough? … probably yes, but I’m not sure.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">DREV 7
<span style="font-weight:400">Scrap Goblin; Battle Instinct; Amazoness Trainee; mvell Poun; Genex Power nner; Amazoness Sage; Summoning Curse; Thunder Unicorn; Parallel Selection
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Hey look! It’s a Thunder Unicorn. Not like I had two of those already. … I’mining, but I don’t mind getting more copies. Just would have liked a different ultra rare.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">DREV 8
<span style="font-weight:400">Dash Warrior; Howl of the Wild; Amazoness Fighting Spirit; Damage Eater; Light of Destruction; Cursed Armaments; Lock Cat; Scrapyard; Dark Desertapir
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Scrapyard is fine. Sure GY recovery isn’t amazing (for me), but it isn’t terrible either.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">DREV 9
<span style="font-weight:400">Battle Instinct; Wattcine; Amazoness Sage; Genex Worker; Genex Power nner; mvell Poun; Naturia Beans; Summoning Curse; Amazoness Willpower
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Amazoness Willpower is just Call of the Haunted for Amazoness monsters.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">DREV 10
<span style="font-weight:400">Lock Cat; Blind Spot Strike; Scrap Rage; Earthquake Giant; Battle Instinct; Stronghold Guardian; Anti-Magic Prism; Wattcine; Egotistical Ape
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Nothing new here.
<span style="font-weight:400">But Duelist Revolution served me well. Five higher rarity cards from ten packs is amazing.
<span style="font-weight:400">But time for a set change.
<span style="font-weight:400">Starstrike st, 10 packs.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">STBL 1
<span style="font-weight:400">Naturia Pumpkin; ckwing - Boobytrap; Mirror of the Ice Barrier; Star Siphon; Barkion''s Bark; Wattkiwi; Scrap Lube; Golden Gearbox; Koa''ki Meiru Wall
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Wattkiwi is super mediocre. It really should beplete battle protection, not just while Watts are attacking. I know Watts have a lot of battle based effects, but still.
<span style="font-weight:400">Golden Gearbox is an okay boost, but just doesn’tst for long enough.
<span style="font-weight:400">And Koa''ki Meiru Wall is great. Good stats and tributes itself to stop a spell. Just a good monster.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">STBL 2
<span style="font-weight:400">Wattdragonfly; Wattjustment; Karakuri Strategist mdl 248 "Nishipachi"; Cursed Bill; Star Siphon; Scrap Searcher; Scrap Lube; Synchro Soldier; Koa''ki Meiru Wall
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Wattjustment … why do you negate their effect? Watts aren’t that amazing. They don’t need that kind of downside.
<span style="font-weight:400">Synchro Soldier I suppose has a use. I don’t like the use, but it has one. Not that I’ll ever use it.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">STBL 3
<span style="font-weight:400">Scrap Crash; Vice Berserker; Red Screen; Karakuri Strategist mdl 248 "Nishipachi"; Wattjustment; Reed Butterfly; Axe of Fools; Chain Dog; Shooting Star Dragon
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Chain Dog is a bit situational, but he is still a good boy.
<span style="font-weight:400">And Shooting Star Dragon is amazing. Of course I already had one, because Quasar is god-tier, but I didn’t have one from this set, and most definitely didn’t have the ghost rare variant.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">STBL 4
<span style="font-weight:400">Exterio''s Fang; ckwing - Boobytrap; Half Counter; Wattjustment; Wightmare; Darkworld Shackles; Vice Berserker; Necro Linker; Lancer Archfiend
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Exterio''s Fang is a bit too specific to be good.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">STBL 5
<span style="font-weight:400">Exterio''s Fang; Watthopper; Wattkeeper; Swift Scarecrow; Star Siphon; Scrap Searcher; Karakuri Spider; Mirror of the Ice Barrier; Karakuri Bushi mdl 6318 "Muzanichiha"

[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Leodrake''s Mane is pretty nice. Making something’s attack 3000 for the turn is nice, even if their effects are negated.
<span style="font-weight:400">And Karakuri Merchant searches Karakuri monsters,which is nice, but I already hate this archetype. And I’ve never even yed with it or against it.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.

<span style="font-weight:400">STBL 7
<span style="font-weight:400">White Elephant''s Gift; Naturia Pumpkin; Karakuri Spider; ckwing - Etesian of Two Swords; Wightmare; Mirror of the Ice Barrier; Karakuri Strategist mdl 248 "Nishipachi"; Powersink Stone; Chain Dog
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Etesian of Two Swords is a freaking … straw. Or maybe a vacuum. It sucks so much. All that for 1000 burn damage? Really?
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack, please.
Spoiler
<span style="font-weight:400">STBL 8
<span style="font-weight:400">Reed Butterfly; Scrap Searcher; Medallion of the Ice Barrier; Needle Soldier; Extra Veiler; Watthopper; Karakuri Trick House; Scrap Lube; Wattcastle
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Wattcastle is a Field Spell, so I’ll have to make a Factory room for it. Those are the rules. Each Field Spell has to have its own, or at least a shared, room. Sadly it sucks, like most of the other Watt spells.
<span style="font-weight:400">Next pack.

<span style="font-weight:400">STBL 9
<span style="font-weight:400">Koa''ki Ring; Scrap Lube; Scrap Searcher; Vanity''s Emptiness; Cursed Bill; Wattdragonfly; Watthopper; Defenders Intersect; Chain Dog

<span style="font-weight:400">STBL 10
<span style="font-weight:400">Darkworld Shackles; Cursed Bill; Exterio''s Fang; Swift Scarecrow; Karakuri Soldier mdl 236 "Nisamu"; Medallion of the Ice Barrier; Wattjustment; Red Screen; Form Synchron
[copse]
<span style="font-weight:400">Karakuri Soldier is new. And it is a battle recruiter for Karakuri monsters. So it is by far the best Karakuri I have, but I’ve already given up on them, so they’ll need to show me something actually good for me to give them the time of day.
<span style="font-weight:400">All in all, Starstrike st really didn’t serve me nearly as well as Duelist Revolution. Only one higher rarity card, and it is a repeat by a technicality. Still loving my Shooting Star Dragon, but yeah.
