The magic ship requires no power; heroes can move forward directly on it, and its speed is never slow. It is also unaffected by any weather conditions and is definitely faster than a sail.
“Is that so? Then I have two suggestions for the modifications. One is faster, which should only take about half a month to complete, while the other will take a month and a half or even two months,” Jaina said.
"Gina, tell me quickly," Rhodes said.
"Okay! The quick renovation will take half a month. We'll just build some storage rooms inside the ship to store fresh water and food, and then set up some beds."
"Then we can simply move this magical ship onto one of our main warships in Kul Tiras and use it as a spatial magic device," Jaina said.
The simplest way is to move this magical ship directly onto the main warship of Kul Tiras without modifying its hull.
The ship doesn't need to run itself; it just needs to carry more ordinary civilians! Their standard Kul Tiran warships are about 30 meters long, which is more than enough to accommodate them.
"What about the second one?"
"The second thing is to increase its hull deck. As I just said, it will take at least a month and a half to add cannons and turn it into a warship about 35 meters long, so that it can run on its own and civilians will have enough space to go out for a stroll," Jaina said.
Rhodes nodded and began to consider two modification options. The first option was the fastest, but its drawback was that the magic ship's sailing speed was affected by weather conditions and its performance could not be fully utilized.
The second type of modification takes longer, but it increases the magic ship's combat power and does not affect navigation. In the long run, the second type of modification is the best.
Chapter 60 Decision Making, The Female Mage's Night Visit
“Gina, let’s use the second one!” Rod said.
After weighing the pros and cons, Rhodes decided to use the second option: a month and a half to modify the ship, which would still be enough time.
A month and a half later, Arthas should have just embarked on his return journey. In Northrend, he would have to spend another month playing with the Scourge.
The idea of attaching one's own space magic ship to a Kul Tiran warship is utterly ridiculous!
“I also think the second option is better, but I’m not sure if the Kingdom of Lordaeron has the capability to modify such a magical ship!”
"You'd be better off going to Kul Tiras. Our shipbuilding industry in Kul Tiras is second to none in the entire Alliance," Jaina said.
As a naval superpower, 70% of the Alliance's warships are manufactured by their Kul Tiras shipyards!
Other countries also want to build ships independently, but their technological level is far behind that of Kul Tiras.
More importantly, this magical ship is of great significance to Kul Tiras, and she really wants to get her hands on one.
Upon hearing this, Rhodes agreed, as Kul Tiras would be safer to modify, but the problem was that they would have to deal with the people of Lordaeron here!
Moreover, the money came from King Terenas, and the old king probably wouldn't give away such a magical ship to Kul Tiras for free.
And indeed, things turned out exactly as Rhodes had predicted.
"It will take half a month to send it to Kul Tiras, and another month and a half to modify it before it comes back. In total, it will take two and a half months, which is too much of a delay."
"This will delay our departure by a month, but it's just simple modifications, which our Kingdom of Lordaeron can also carry out," King Terenas said.
Just kidding! This kind of magical spaceship has great strategic significance. It's incredibly convenient for transporting soldiers and supplies.
How could we possibly give them to Kul Tiras? Whether they can even return once they're in Kul Tiras is another matter entirely.
“I think it would be safer to carry out the reconstruction in Lordaeron, Your Majesty King Terenas. You can carry out the reconstruction while gathering the people who are going to cross the sea to the west. I will return from Dalaran in a month and a half, and then I can set off with the people,” Rhodes said.
Jokingly, it took a month to arrive, and Arthas came.
King Terenas was quite satisfied with Rhodes' answer. "That's more like it," he thought. "After all, I've granted you a baronial title. If you were to sell this good stuff to Kul Tiras, you would be doing me a disservice."
Jaina sighed helplessly and nodded in agreement to the plan, but she was not about to give up on this kind of space magic ship.
After exchanging views and discussing the specific details of the ship modifications, King Terenas began to gather the best shipbuilders in the entire Kingdom of Lordaeron and then began modifying the several magical ships left behind by Rhodes.
First, the seven huge cabins need to be divided into layers to determine the location of the kitchen, storage room, and living quarters. Then, bunk beds need to be installed in the living quarters. Finally, the entire hull needs to be enlarged.
According to King Terenas's estimate, a single ship could carry 15,000 people, and Lordaeron would not even need to send any other ships.
That evening, King Terenas held a farewell banquet, and the two sides agreed that in a month and a half, Rhodes' fleet would depart from the port of the Kingdom of Lordaeron to explore the continent of Kalimdor.
When they returned to the inn to rest that night, the female mage knocked on Rhodes' door.
"Is there something you need, Gina?" Rhode smiled as he looked at the female mage at the door. Just as he expected!
"You're asking me why? You should have known I was coming, right? Your space magic ship is too important to the Kingdom of Kul Tiras," Jaina said, rolling her eyes.
As a princess of Kul Tiras, she knew how much impact such space-magic ships would have on naval warfare and shipping. If such magical ships could be installed on her father's Admiral, she would be very happy.
Or it would be perfect to convert it into a new Admiral!
And if you're shipping a large quantity by sea, it's incredibly convenient!
This is incredibly profitable! This magical ship can carry more cargo than an entire fleet can! It facilitates trade between Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms!
Even for Kul Tiras's commercial transactions, if such magical ships could be used for transportation, the transportation fees alone would be quite substantial.
"Rhodes, I'll be frank. We're good friends, and the Kul Tiras's invincible fleet really needs your kind of space magic ship!"
"I'd like to make some purchases from you. I wonder if you could have your Titan Guardian build a few more of these magical ships and deliver them to Kul Tiras?" Jaina said.
“We’re good friends now, so of course it’s possible in principle. You know what I need: a large amount of timber and ore, as well as those four precious resources,” Rhodes said.
Rhodes was well aware of the function and enormous commercial value of this magical spaceship, and since the female mage had spoken, he wouldn't hold back.
“This isn’t something I’m discussing with you, but rather with my father. I will inform the Kul Tiras side, and when we arrive in Dalaran, an envoy from Kul Tiras will come to see you,” Jaina said.
He could only act as a go-between, but the real decision-maker was his father, Admiral Dalyn.
Anyway, this westward voyage to the continent of Kalimdor will require the mobilization of ships from Kul Tiras, and she needs to inform her father about these matters.
“No problem! It’s because we’re such good friends! You even taught me some magic before,” Rhodes said.
Afterwards, I'll continue to get free spells from the female mage, so naturally I need to maintain a good relationship with her.
The future Jaina will be the greatest mage in Azeroth, even stronger than Khadgar!
“There’s another problem with this matter: Lordaeron. I’m worried that King Terenas might not approve of your deal with Kul Tiras,” Jaina said.
"Don't worry, although I am a baron of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, it is the Titan Guardians who trade with Kul Tiras."
"I didn't build these magic ships; I was just a messenger," Rhodes said with a smile.
"Pfft! Hahaha! You really are something, Rhodes?" Jaina chuckled and nodded in satisfaction.
Early the next morning, Rhodes and the mage Jaina bid farewell to Uther and King Terenas, preparing to return to Dalaran.
Since there were only two of them, Jaina used a teleportation spell to bring Rhodes with her to Dalaran.
Chapter 61 Dalaran, Gina, do you know Fina the Golden Sword?
Rhode was quite envious of the teleportation spell. He had previously sought instruction from a female mage, but unfortunately, teleportation magic was clearly not a first or second-level spell that could be learned unconditionally.
When Rhodes tries to record the spell, the spellbook will warn him that, unfortunately, a powerful witch intends to teach him a top-tier spell, but he is unable to comprehend its mysteries.
This is similar to not being able to learn level 3, 4, or 5 magic in a game; Rhodes needs the Wisdom spell to learn advanced magic.
Paladins' spells are mostly support-oriented, as they are melee classes. Therefore, in the system's eyes, most of their spells are classified as level one or two, or even lower.
He could learn it easily, but Rhode couldn't learn this advanced teleportation spell!
Rhode probably knows the same about other advanced magic, so it seems he needs to learn the Wisdom spell as soon as possible.
With a flash of arcane light, magical runes shone beneath Rhodes and Jaina's feet, and the two were then teleported directly to the Mage Square in Dalaran.
Dalaran is a magical city built on the key magical network of the continent of Azeroth. All mages who can cast teleportation spells can locate Dalaran.
However, teleportation is only allowed in the mage's teleportation plaza. Unauthorized teleportation is prohibited in other areas. To come to Dalaran, you must be a mage who has registered here.
“Now that we’ve arrived in Rhodes, come with me! I’ll take you to see my mentor, Antonidas, who is the current leader of the Dalaran Council.” Jaina nodded to Rhodes and then led him to the center of the Mage Tower.
Rhodes nodded and followed the female mage toward the central mage tower. At this time, Dalaran had not yet become a floating city and had not yet suffered the destruction of Archimonde the Defiler.
This is a true magical sanctuary, even surpassing the elven city of Silvermoon in terms of magical technology. The city's streets are remarkably clean and tidy.
Even the streetlights on the side were powered by magic, and the whole city was filled with all sorts of magical creations.
Besides a large number of humans, many high elves have also settled here!
After traveling for so long, Rhode finally met Azeroth, or rather, the elves, a race unique to fantasy worlds.
Tall and slender, with smooth, fair skin, long, pointed ears, and eyes that radiate a pale blue or pale green light!
Both men and women were exceptionally good-looking. Rhodes observed along the way and found that there were almost no ugly people among the high elves.
In terms of physique, female elves are basically all perfect model figures, and high elves dress more gorgeously. The high elves living in Dalaran are basically all rich and noble.
However, Rhodes's scrutiny immediately caught the attention of the female mage.
"These high elves, they're very beautiful, aren't they?" the female mage asked, squinting her eyes.
Under normal circumstances, male elves would never be interested in a human woman, as they find human women too ugly. Of course, there are exceptions, such as a prince who is pursuing her.
However, in the eyes of human men, the female elves are absolutely stunning. Humans and high elves have maintained diplomatic relations for so long, and many human men have pursued female elves!
This includes the famous union of Turalyon, the first paladin, and Alleria, the high elf ranger general.
Vereesa, the third sister of the Windrunner family, also married Rhonin, the archmage of Dalaran.
There's also a rumor that Sylvanas Windrunner, the second daughter of the Windrunner family, has taken a liking to one of her ranger apprentices, who is also human.
These three ranger generals almost all had their eyes on humans, which made many male high elves resentful.
She had just taken a closer look at Rhodes, and his eyes kept darting towards those female high elves!
Please! Their lifespans are completely different; the union of a human and an elf never ends well!
“Hahaha! I was just taking a casual look, but those pointy-eared creatures are indeed very beautiful,” Rhodes said.
"Hmph! High elves are very arrogant and look down on humans. You'll find out when you interact with them." Jaina snorted and gave Rhodes a heads-up.
For some reason, seeing those female elves, like Rhodesia, made her angry. Even among elves, her appearance was considered top-notch!
She's even being pursued by an elf prince!
"Just take a look around. After all, we'll need the high elves' help to reforge the Emperor's sword later."
"By the way, Gina, do you know someone named Fina the Golden Sword?" Rod suddenly asked on a whim.
That's right! Admiral Daelin of Kul Tiras also has a bastard daughter, who is a half-elf. This shows how popular female elves are.
It is said that she was born to Daelin and a high elf mage, but she took her mother's surname in order to protect the reputation of the admiral.
