Chapter 437: Chapter 259 Emp… Employer?_3
“That’s wonderful, that’s wonderful. Come, come, boss please sit, please sit.” Jelis stopped raising the sail and enthusiastically beckoned Ange over.

“No need, no need, you go about your business, you don’t need to cater to us.” Negris quickly said. As a homebody dragon, he particularly wasn’t used to other people’s enthusiasm, and neither was Ange.

“Alright, it’s really time to raise the sail. If we stay in one water area for too long, those sea monsters will smell the scent and come chasing after, boss, you can take out the water bucket, it doesn’t matter, an extra ton or two of weight isn’t a big deal, but it should be placed in the center line to prevent tilting.” Jelis said with a smile.

“Oh.” Ange nodded, immediately taking the water bucket out again, placing it in the center line and fiddling with it on his own.

“So unfair, I can’t even bring a few extra pounds aboard.” Fat Alvi, who was at the bow of the ship, complained quietly, but his voice was extremely low, fearing that Ange might hear him.

Lily said nothing, but another young man on the boat leaned over and whispered, “The airship is the consortium’s property. If the airship is overloaded, I will throw you off first to reduce weight, and certainly not the boss’s barrel.”

He was in charge of the airship’s maintenance, assigned to the consortium. To him, the boss’s commands were more efficient than Jelis’s.

“You…” Fat Alvi was so furious he wanted to hit someone.

As for Ange’s carefree attitude as long as he had his vegetables, Negris couldn’t bear to watch and simply chose not to, turning to Jelis to start a casual conversation: “Are there sea monsters here too?”

“Of course, there are sea monster eels, a kind of creature with the head of a snake and the tail of a fish, bloodthirsty and savage, with a keen sense of smell. They can catch the scent of prey from dozens of kilometers away. If we stay in the water too long, they will chase after us. They can also control a kind of large sea monster, hundreds of meters long. Its destructiveness is extremely scary. A single jet of water can knock down our airship.”

“That powerful? Then we should run.” A hundred-meter-long sea monster sounded terrifying. Ange had just used Dragon God Transformation, and wouldn’t be able to use it a second time until he had recovered.

Whether it’s the Dragon God Transformation or Locke’s transformation, both are actually the Druid’s Ultimate Transformation Technique, sharing a recovery time. That is to say, Ange temporarily lost his ability to use his ultimate move.

Jelis and the others were working hard to raise the sail. Although the sail was billowing, the flying ship moved quickly.

Jelis explained, “When a wind sail airship touches water, it’s slow. It needs to first pick up speed. When the wings and water surface form a suitable angle, it will create a ground-effect which allows the airship to leave the surface of the water and speed up.”

“Oh~” Ange pretended to understand, and after responding he began to ponder: What on earth is ground-effect?

Just as the airship was slowly picking up speed, a huge dorsal fin suddenly broke through the distant sea surface. A colossal creature, riding the wind and breaking the waves, slicing through the calm sea surface, rapidly approaching them.

A halo behind Ange flickered and disappeared, and then he murmured, “One hundred ten meters.”

Jerika also heard the disturbance. She turned her head and began to yell in panic, “God, what did I just say is here! Sea monster, huge sea monster, quick, throw something to reduce the weight. Boss, can you put away your barrel? Quickly! Throw away the soilless vats too, there’s no time, if you want to survive, throw quickly!”

The young man responsible for the airship’s loss instinctively looked at Alvi. Alvi didn’t hesitate and clung to the mast.

Ange was not pleased. He could put away the bucket, but they also wanted him to throw away the soilless vat? Wasn’t it just that they couldn’t fly?
