Blood Elf Monarch

Chapter 160 - Crash Site

The three pulled the reins on their horses and galloped away from the ruins of Aesir, venturing into the sandy desert. Not long after, they saw broken stone structures jutting out of the sand.

They followed the trail, and finally, the group found it. The space knight's ship was almost fully buried under the sand.

Witnessing the tip of the ship in front of him was enough to make Tristan smile in excitement. He quickly stepped forward, ready to dig the ship out, but looking at the buried mass he didn't know where to start.

"Chieng! Let's see if you have any ideas."

The man tried to figure out what part of the ship was sticking out and designated a particular spot to dig.

With minimal tools they had, Tristan decided to start digging with his bare hands, together with his newfound assistant.

Knowing it would take hours, Tristan turned to look at Serene with complicated looks.

"Would the princess mind doing such dirty jobs?"

As if Serene realized what Tristan was asking, she frowned.

"I will help! both of you step aside."

Serene clasped both her hands, and energy began to gather all around her body. Her eyes were closed in concentration, and from her expression alone, Tristan could tell that she was casting a strong spell.

Sweat started to drip from her forehead, and right after, Tristan could feel the ground shake. The sunken ship slowly rose up from the sea of sand.

After a few minutes of intense casting, half of the ship had fully emerged. 

From the looks of it, the ship was about as big as a baseball court, leaving Tristan to imagine how big its actual size is. Now, he understood how hard Serene worked to pull it up. 

He looked at Serene's damp face, and gently said. "It's enough. Good work, Serene."

Now that he more or less could see the ship in half of its glory, Tristan couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Go for it, Chieng. Check it out."

In his heart, he whispered a prayer, hoping that any god would happen to hear it and answer his plea.

"Dear god, would it be too much to ask that the ship would still be in one piece?"

Right after Chieng words somehow answer his prayer

"Master, it appears that the sand helped stop the fire from causing further damage to the ship."

"Thank you Lord, I praise you -"

Before Tristan could finish his sentence, Chieng said again.

"Unfortunately the frame was broken beyond repair. This ship will never fly again, Master."

"Damn it!"

Now that Chieng has managed to break open the door, Tristan couldn't wait anymore.  He jumped in to check the ship's interior.

The inside was obviously messy, but some of the lights were still flickering. The distinct humming of machines in the background told him that the ship was still slightly functional.

After walking through the corridor, Tristan found the room he was looking for. The room they place their armament.

There were dozens of rifles, pistols, and short swords. Tristan was delighted to find out that his scanner was able to identify the items.

[Storm Rifle]

[1.2 meter length, 4.2 kilogram weight]

[shooting condensed plasma energy as bullets.] 

[Bolt Gun]

[0.6 meter length, 2.6 kilogram weight]

[Shoots explosive bullets catridges]

[Short Sword – Reunite – Tier 3]

[0.7 meter length, 2.1 kilogram weight]

Tristan's eyes start to glint with excitement upon spotting the more limited items, a flamethrower, and a huge machine gun-like weapon.

"What about the bullets, Chieng?"

The space knight started to open up a few ammo boxes, and he explained that within them there were also grenades and explosives.

Tristan can't help but smile upon seeing all these items. With this, he would no longer be afraid to be surrounded by thousands of barbarians like before.

He quickly started to fill his storage rings with his new stock of weapons.

"Take your time, Chieng. Check through everything, and take anything that might still be useful."

The two went deeper until they found the room where they stored the power armor. This was the heavy armor used by the space knights. 

"This is our spare armor Master; it's in very bad condition, but I could probably scrap all of it together into a working one."

It took them the whole day to salvage items from the ship and start collecting some useful items.

There are some strange medication supplies that Chieng insists are valuable to take, a little box with green liquids which appear to be energy supplies, some tools and computers plus a box of drone written Gremlin

Finally, the last item shown by Chieng was a broken communication device that looks a bit like those old satellite dish

This last item was the one suggested by the space knights' Captain Siegfried. If it could be restored to working order, they would be able to request aid from other space knights.

For Tristan, it could be of help, but it could also be a disaster depending on their interests. Either way, Tristan decided the best course of action would be to let Chieng fix it first. He could decide on what to do later.

All the items finally piled up. Fortunately, these space knights did have a few spare storage rings. These amazing rings were apparently quite a common item for these space outlanders.

Chieng added that the ones the space knights had in their possession were just the common 2 meter cubic ones just like the one he gets from Uriel the fat elf. He explains that there were actually rings available on the space knights headquarter that has the capacity to store the whole ship, with the right price. 

Hearing Chieng's description and seeing all these items that he could usually only see in sci-fi movies somehow gave Tristan a new rush of excitement. The possibility of roaming across the universe seemed like a great future to aim. 

After collecting all these items, Tristan once more pushed Chieng to think of any other items that could be salvage.

He explained that the ship's energy reactor was damaged but could be fixed in some way, and it could also lead to disassembling the ship's cannon. But such work needed tools, manpower, and time. Things that Tristan currently did not have. Tristan sighed. Right now, he was in a hurry, so would have to return later to recover all the things he found today. 

Finally, he asked his lovely wife to use the spell once more to bury the ship. This time, he buried it almost all the way down, only leaving a small part of the hull as a marker. He needed to make sure the ship would still be there when he returned.

Everything was set. Next destination, Erantell.
