After determining the cause.

The two of them brought Xuan to the deck.

Because of the expansion of space, the third floor of the stern deck is where Xiadaiti, Lucilia and Mathilda live.

There is a specially expanded room next to it, which is used exclusively for the doll girl to live in.

Due to their size, the room could be expanded to accommodate their entire puppet army.

It was just furniture that fit their body shapes, which took Alka and Simon a lot of effort to make.

Making these things always makes Alka feel like playing house.

Especially more than 70 sets of beds and bedding.

When the two came up, they were immediately surrounded by a group of puppet girls.

They all looked curiously at Xuan on Alka's shoulder. As puppet girls, they could easily sense the new sisters.

“Is this the new sister?”

"It's beautiful, but it feels different from us."

"He's a captain."

"Stupid! All the team members have been made, of course only the captain is left."

Watching the chattering of these puppet girls, Alka did not say anything, but observed carefully.

It is confirmed that Xuan's arrival and the changes it brought about have improved the minds of these puppet girls.

More agile than before.

"Xuan, go say hello to everyone." Alka said as he lifted the puppet girl on his shoulder.

"Yeah." Xuan nodded and jumped down without hesitation.

He embraced and talked familiarly with the puppet girls and soon became friends with them.

"So now there is only one captain left, right?" Xia Daiti asked behind him.

Several people on the boat had already been attracted by the commotion here and were watching from the side.

Simply put, the puppet girls on the ship can be roughly divided into 6 parts.

A team consists of ten members, plus a captain.

All of Weiyi's subordinates used materials that allowed them to hide, as well as various spells to conceal their bodies and block perception.

A team used for reconnaissance, patrolling and sentry duty was built based on the prototype of One.

The naming method of names is one one, one two.

The second, third and fourth doll girls are made from the hair of the three women on the ship.

Therefore, these three of them are not puppet girls made based on their prototypes, they usually follow the corresponding crew members.

Because these doll girls with added hair may have different talents, following the hair provider is equivalent to teaching by example.

If necessary, they can be combined into a small team, and Xuan made of Alka's hair will also belong to this team.

In Alka's expectation, this team will eventually consist of 6 captains, who will assist Lucilia in battle or help Alka and others.

The other 6 captains out of the 12 are responsible for leading the 60 team members.

Yi leads a team of assassins.

Doll Girl Five was created by Simon with great effort. Although she was called a doll girl, Alka always felt that she looked more like a mechanical girl.

The team she led was the logistics team on the ship. After all, there were so many puppet girls, and it was impossible for every battle and repair and maintenance to require two people.

There isn't much time left for those two.

This team is specifically used for this purpose. This team uses the most structural configurations and is professionally customized.

And they all learned casting and mechanical structure, but they obviously haven't finished learning yet and are still learning under Alka and Simon.

However, they already have the ability to maintain and care for their sisters, and are now trying to maintain and care for the Sound of Dawn.

Any girl with various constructs on her body is a member of this team.

Doll Girl Lu is the largest doll girl. Normal doll girls are about 30 cm in size.

She was 40 centimeters tall, used two rapiers as weapons, and wore fitted soft armor.

The puppet girl she led was the same as her, but her size had become 35 cm, and she also held double blades and wore soft armor.

The soft armor they wear is not ordinary soft armor, but powered soft armor made of constructs.

It is an assault team that excels at frontal group attacks.

The doll girl Qi is a magic character who uses spells for ranged attacks, and is also a sculptor.

The puppet girl team she leads provides various spell support just like her.

However, they are not able to fully utilize their original abilities yet, because they, like Wu and the logistics team, are also learning rune engraving and related knowledge under Alka.

Doll Girl Eight is a long-range physical attack character who uses a sniper rifle that is larger than herself.

Built by Simon, it uses extremely small armor-piercing bullets and can only penetrate due to its size.

The same as the puppet girl led by her.

The doll girl Jiu is a special type. She and her team have wings, which is the team that helped in the restaurant before.

With wings, they are extremely maneuverable and can fly freely in the air.

It is an air support type.

As for the doll girl Shi, she does not have a team leader. She belongs to a special team like the others.

But it is not made of anyone's hair.

Rather, it is Alka's culmination. She can receive information from everyone's team at the same time and transfer the information feedback to others.

This includes Alka and others.

At the same time, her perception ability is extremely strong, using Xia Daiti's silver ripples and Julia's perception ability.

But the problem is that it cannot be used for a long time, so it will only be used when a really intense battle occurs.

She can also fly and become invisible in dreams.

Her only weakness is that she is completely incapable of fighting.

Simply put, she is the center of the entire battlefield. She is an outsider in the battle, providing information and intelligence support to everyone in the battle.

She is the eyes in the battle.

However, after being created, it has never truly demonstrated its strength, so it has not been verified.

When fighting pirates before, she was still debugging, learning, and familiarizing herself with her own abilities, so she did not participate.

I don't know if her role is as important as when Alka created her.

This means that the only one who has not been created yet is the 12th captain.

Except for her, the entire army of puppet girls is complete.

Of course, the happiest person was Lucelia.

Because her character Knights had reached perfection, this gave him a huge boost in strength.

So Lucilia has inexplicably become the second most physically fit person on the ship.

With its small body and great strength, once it hides, the deadly attacks it launches will make people feel terrified.

…

They had been sailing on the sea for nearly ten days and nights, but they still had not seen the so-called Southern Cross Island.

They might not be as close to Southern Cross Island as they thought.

During the journey, they also passed by an island, but they went directly around it and did not land.

"Change direction and don't get carried away by the ocean current." Alka reminded from the observation room.

As he spoke, the Sound of Dawn slowly adjusted its direction, aligning its advance with the direction the flag was pointing.

There was no way. The more they sailed, the more they realized that the ocean was really moving on its own.

They were clearly moving forward, but they would always turn inexplicably without even noticing.

It was not until they saw the flag facing forward was completely askew that they realized their ship was askew.

Follow this way of moving forward.

If there is no guiding flag to the landmark island, you will definitely get lost while driving.

"In that case, wouldn't the special significance of Signpost Island be gone?" Lucilia, who was writing a monster encyclopedia nearby, asked curiously.

After all, if you look at it this way, sailing on the sea may not necessarily maintain a straight line, and there are no reference points in the vast ocean. Who can guarantee that they can always move forward in one direction?

Then wouldn't it be meaningless for the landmark island to be located in a place that will never drift with the ocean current?

The island will not move, but the ship will get lost and won’t even know the direction.

And they had also tried, the compass and guidance devices that had worked in their home sea before, simply didn't work here.

Because in this damn place, the sun never moves, and the nights are even more outrageous, every night is different.

The moon sometimes appears and sometimes disappears, and sometimes even celestial bodies equivalent to the moon appear.

The day was dead silent.

The night was chaos.

Alka shook his head to show that he didn't know either.

"However, one thing is certain. The Landmark Island always stays in one direction, right? It's just that we are sailing in the wrong direction."

"According to the special significance of the signpost island, there must be something that can guide us to the correct direction in this chaotic ocean current, but we don't have it now." Alka said thoughtfully.

He remembered that when he was chatting with Balazs before, he seemed to have heard about such a thing.

A compass and guidance tool similar to Homesea.

But I heard from Balazs that we must get the Southern Cross Island to obtain it, and even they don’t have much.

So Alka didn't ask any further questions at that time.

Now it seems that this should be something that allows them to navigate in the ocean and maintain the correct direction.

Lucilia, who was writing in the Monster Manual, suddenly stood up.

"What's wrong?"

"The eggs...the eggs are about to hatch."

"What eggs are about to hatch?" Alka was a little confused.

Then his eyes lit up. Wasn't there only one egg on the boat?

"Jason is going to be a father. No, I mean Jason's eggs are going to hatch. That's not right either... Never mind."

"I'll leave this to you." Alka turned and said to Yi.

Yi nodded.

The two of them quickly pushed the door open, jumped down, grabbed the flying rope and swung to the stern deck.

Rushed in quickly.

At this time, the fireplace in the corner of the wall was surrounded by a crowd of people. In addition to Jason and others, the puppet girls were also watching curiously.

It’s no wonder they care so much, it’s mainly because the egg has been on the boat for too long.

The egg will stay there as long as the ship exists.

And because some of the magic of the egg is radiating.

It always hurts the people around you from time to time.

It’s unforgettable.

Now that the eggs are about to hatch, who wouldn’t be curious?

Alka and the other squeezed in, their shoulders sank, and it was Xuan who sat on it: "Dad."

Forget it, Alka had given up on correcting her address.

At this moment, on a soft egg nest next to the fireplace, a gradient-colored crystal-like egg was shaking.

Jason watched nervously from the side.

"To be honest, he really is like a father waiting for his child to be born." Xiadaiti whispered in Alka's ear.

Alka nodded in agreement to this.

Jason was sweating from nervousness.

"It's coming out!" Mathilda, who was observing the egg, said quickly.

She felt like she was delivering a baby.

As the words fell, cracks appeared on the eggshell and a cracking sound was heard.

A rainbow-colored, crystal-like claw stretched out. Its crystal-like structure gave people a feeling of being soft rather than hard.

There are 5 claws on the palm, and the small claws are waving around.

Then the rift grew larger.

A head crashed out from inside.

"Bing!"

A strange, childish cry.

A head emerged, as crystalline as her arm but as soft as fur.

The eyes are big, watery, and the pupils sparkle like diamonds with countless facets. There is a pair of small protruding horns on the round head.

You can see two slightly raised little feet like crystal pillars.

The nose buried under the crystal hair revealed two long whiskers.

Then the whole body came out.

When they saw the complete appearance of the creature, their eyes widened.

"dragon?"

Lucelia couldn't help but exclaim in wonder.

Because this creature really looks like a giant dragon, with a lizard-like body but covered with crystal-like hair.

It has four limbs and short wings on its back, and a slender dragon tail wrapped in crystal fur that swings back and forth.

She seemed to have not yet learned to run. She fell to the ground and struggled to stand up, trying to adapt her limbs.

Seeing this, Jason couldn't help but help.

But Julia stopped him.

"Calm down, she's growing up."

After she staggered a few steps, I could see that she had obviously learned it. She ran to her eggs and started eating them in big mouthfuls.

The solid eggshell made a crisp sound like a biscuit.

Everyone watched but did not disturb them.

Facing everyone's gaze, she didn't seem to be afraid or scared, but just started eating .

In a short while, she had eaten all the eggshells.

"Burp." He also burped.

She looked at Jason next to her, staggered over, eyes slightly narrowed, and seemed very confused.

Jason quickly reached out his hand, and the crystal dragon went straight into his arms.

“Swoosh~”

He adjusted his position left and right, making a comfortable sound.

Jason stood up with the crystal dragon in his arms.

"Boogie!" The Crystal Dragon looked at Jason and let out an unknown cry.

“She’s… calling my name,” Jason muttered, reaching out to touch her head and smooth out her crystal hair.

Several people stood by and watched.

Listen to the cry of the crystal dragon and Jason's mumbling.

"It seems that Jason is the only one who can understand what she is saying." Alka said.

At this time, Juanlu looked around for a while and suddenly asked, "What does she eat?"

Jason was stunned when he heard this question.

Then his expression suddenly became serious, and he spoke with some trembling: "She eats meat, but mainly eats... crystal gems."

“…”

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

He looked at Jason with a little sympathy. It seemed that Jason's little treasury might have to be used to feed the crystal dragon in the future.

But after a while Jason's complexion suddenly improved again. He looked at the crystal dragon that had fallen asleep in his arms, stared at everyone with shining eyes and spoke.

"You may not believe this, but this child is a treasure."

"Ah?" Xia Daiti made a puzzled sound.

What does it mean to be equivalent to a treasure?

Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Jason simply raised his hand and demonstrated to everyone.

As the magic power gathered, a bullet-like crystal was condensed.

"I linked a contract with her, and the contract gave me feedback. It was like I had a treasure, allowing me to master her special abilities."

Jason had controlled a treasure before, so he had a very clear feeling about this.

"And if I want to get treasures in the future, I have to see if I can adapt to her, so that the same treasure can be fed back to both of us."

Jason felt the difference and said.

"Is there really a treasure stored inside the treasure?" Alka said after thinking for a while.

After nearly 4 years, the dragon was finally hatched, but it was worth it.

If you think about it this way.

Could this thing be some kind of growth-type treasure, the kind that comes standard with the protagonist?

Thinking of this, Alka couldn't help but look at Jason with strange eyes.

"By the way, how many gems, crystals and other items do we have on our ship?" Jason suddenly asked.

After all, they have already sold some, and they don't know how much is left in the treasury, and whether it is enough for the little guy to eat.

Xia Daiti said directly at the side: "Don't worry, there are still a lot left, and the main thing for sale is precious metals such as gold."

As the ship's financial manager, she knows everything.

"That's good."

Everyone looked at the crystal dragon for a while longer. She was soundly sleeping in Jason's arms, and it seemed that she had no intention of waking up at all.

At this moment, Jason suddenly thought of something, and said to Alka and Simon, "If you don't mind, please help me make a bed that fits her body shape."

"no problem."

The two nodded and took Jason into the manufacturing hall.

There is a new member on board.

"To celebrate the hatching of the eggs, we'll have a party tonight!"

“Ohhhh!”

"Keep your voice down, do you want to wake her up?"

"Party! Party!"

"No problem, I'll go prepare the ingredients."

There were all kinds of cheers coming from the boat, and the sound of puppet girls running around happily.

It's getting lively.

It seems like this is not a bad idea.

…
