Chapter 16: The Great Red

In the aft cockpit area, there were large ivory-colored sofa seats and a staircase connecting the upper and lower decks.

Juliet playfully winked as she pointed at the aft cockpit area:

"Since Lady Irene wanted to surprise you, there's not much decoration here for now. We can modify it later according to your preferences!"

"Don't be so talkative."

Aegon hugged the expressionless Irene and kissed her on the cheek. "No, I like it very much."

The salon area on the main deck had two large sofas facing each other and two huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows, offering a very open view.

"Moving forward, ta-da! It's Lord Aegon's room!"

Mera opened the door to the master bedroom. The room's area might be the sum of the four rooms below.

At the entrance was a walk-in closet, and a large bed measuring 4 meters by 2.5 meters came into view. There were five irregular glass windows on three sides, providing ample light and a great view.

There was a beautiful marble-like countertop and a huge rectangular bathtub, polished to a shine, large enough for four people to bathe in together...

They really understand me!

Exiting the master bedroom, there was a door leading downstairs to Heine, Mera, and Juliet's rooms. The rooms weren't large, as they didn't actually need to sleep.

The laundry room, kitchen, and storage room were here, along with an automatic lift device.

Juliet pointed at this elevator-like device, "After we prepare food here, we can press this button to send it to Lord Aegon's room or the top deck."

This practically feeds the food right to Aegon's mouth. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. This is too considerate...

"And then there's the flybridge~"

After climbing the stairs from the main deck again, they arrived at the flybridge of the magical cruiser.

"The flybridge is divided into the front, middle, and rear sections. The front is the control area, the middle is a large dining area, and the rear is a spacious sunbathing area!"

"A control area?"

Mera raised her hand, "I'm the captain, though most of the time it will be on autopilot."

"And look at this!" Juliet pressed a button.

A black opaque glass door extended from left to right, separating the rear and middle sections.

In the rear sunbathing area, there was a connected sofa bed that could accommodate eight people sunbathing at the same time, with a huge white canopy above.

Finally, Juliet put her hands on her hips proudly, "Lastly, the bow area, which is also an open-air relaxation area. How about it? Doesn't it seem perfect for having a drink and watching the moon at night?"

Aegon nodded vigorously, "Mm, it's perfect."

He already had other uses in mind...

After all, they wouldn't encounter anyone on the ship.

Irene, understanding instantly.

But she wouldn't mind; she would even cooperate with him.

Heine glanced at her sideways, annoyed. "These were all Lady Irene's ideas. You just put them into practice."

Irene gently touched her lips with her forefinger, gazing at him lovingly, "So, do you like it?"

Aegon gave her a big kiss on the lips, "I love it."

Irene really understood him. The entire ship had no weapons, only relaxation areas...

"But I have a question. Don't you get motion sickness?"

Aegon remembered that all Dragon Slayers, once they activated their Dragon Force, would get motion sickness, even the original Black Dragon, Acnologia.

Irene simply asked back, "Do you get motion sickness?"

Irene's question made him think deeply...

"It seems not." He hadn't tried it himself before. He could fly on his own, so he hadn't tried using transportation, but now he was evolving, so he shouldn't get motion sickness.

Irene showed a thoughtful expression, "I don't get it either. Before, stepping onto any vehicle made me feel very uncomfortable, even if it wasn't moving. But when I boarded this ship, I didn't feel that way."

Of course, she wasn't sure if it was Aegon's transformation magic causing the change or if the ship was just well-designed.

"However, I considered this issue. I had them improve the balance system."

Besides herself, she was also concerned about whether Aegon would get motion sickness, so she had prepared in advance.

"By the way, this ship doesn't have a name yet. Why don't you name it?"

This question stumped Aegon. He frowned, pondering, "Hmm..."

"How about calling it the Aegon?" Lord Aegon."

Aegon rejected immediately, "Denied."

Juliet pouted, "Ah! Why?"

Aegon silently answered her in his mind: Because I don't want to be 'ridden' all the time...

As he thought, he caught a glimpse of Irene's red hair. He also liked the color red, and a name instantly flashed in his mind. He quickly decided.

"Great Red."

Irene nodded gently, "Great Red, huh? Okay."

Although Irene found it somewhat mismatched to name a fully metallic silver ship "Great Red," she didn't want to undermine Aegon's choice.

Moreover, she liked the name, as it included the color of her hair, red.

Juliet considerately asked, "Should we change the exterior to red?"

Aegon shook his head, "No, it's fine as it is."

Although he liked red, a fully red ship would be too conspicuous...

Irene smiled faintly, looking at Juliet and the others, "You did well. What reward do you want?"

Heine quickly waved her hands, "No, no, our very lives were given by Lady Irene."

Mera added, "And it was Lady Irene's design. We just followed the instructions."

Juliet hesitated, "Um... can you not make me... never mind."

Irene nodded, "Then remember, if you have any requests later, you can ask."

Aegon snapped his fingers, "Then, let's set off!"

"Yes!" x3.

Under Mera's command, the "Great Red" gradually took off.

"Activating autopilot mode, destination: Almina, on the continent of Giltena."

Aegon and Irene lay in the sunbathing area at the rear. Mera's cool voice came from the front.

With a white canopy overhead, it wasn't glaring even without sunglasses. The ship's start was very smooth, and neither Irene nor Aegon felt uncomfortable.

"Almina?"

Hearing Aegon's question, Irene nodded slightly, "Yes, it's a port city. Based on the information Heine and Juliet gathered, there's a high probability that the Water God Dragon, Mercphobia, is currently there."

Aegon hadn't expected Irene to have a plan. She really did chew the food and feed it to him...

This time, it was because she really understood him too well.
