Chapter 46: Aerodynamic-Hydrodynamic-Pressure-Resistant-Wooden-And-Welded-Steel Propeller Boat


The airship hangar or whatever it is is still inky blackness and Ronkan machinery.


As satisfying as it would be to extirpate Poltergeists with a quick !Rapidfire, I simply do not have time for the Fire-powered ship.


Ever since the worlds merged, Cid's been spinning on this wheel. Poor Cid.


This poor chap has been stuck on a wheel for days and days.


Mid, however, was fine that whole time and didn't do shit. Mid doesn't get any pity.

I think I'm going to be sick... But first, the good news: While researching, we found a couple more techniques... So, we can upgrade the airship with submarine functionality!
Really?
No I just like making shit upOf course! Nothing's impossible for me! Come on Mid!
Yeah!


Cid, Cid, Cid, Cid, Mid, Mid, Mid, and Mid somehow give the airship submarine functionality.



Wow. You two really work hard.
... Grandpa blames himself for the world having ended up like this...
But... I mean, it's not like there's anything he could've done...
I know that... I think deep down, he knows it too. But that's why this time, he's so driven to see his machines used for peace.



Burtz... I can't fight for beans. In fact, about all I'm good at is modifying machinery. Even so, I've tried to do everything I can to help you out. The rest is in your hands...


It turns out the deep sea looks exactly the same as it did in Galuf's world. There's a few points of interest besides the obvious tablets.


In the sound (I think is the proper term) by Karnak...


Is a small cave.





Well now you know.


Hey! Guess what's underwater up north of Walse!


The Walse tower, of course.


As the Walse tower is now underwater, there is water everywhere. Burtz is not a fish, so he can't breath in the water.


7 minutes to get to the bottom and back.


There are random encounters, of course. These things are incomprehensible shadows, or maybe just Burtz's eyes hurt from the salt water. I've already escaped at least 260 times by now, so what's an extra 10 times?


If you, somehow, by the wiles of Satan, need extra time.


A quick jog. The Walse tower wasn't that long, really.



I shan't allow you to take it, so turn back and begone!



Mimic Extraordinaire! The basis-the very soul of mimicry is the ability to aptly imitate anything, no matter the situation. Thusly, I will imitate your every move! When you attack, I will attack.When you cast a spell, I'll cast a spell, Could you imitate me, you'd certainly win. More likely, it will be curtains for you!




By 'imitate your every move' he means 'hit for 9999 when struck.' He casts Flare, Holy, or Meteor in response to magic. Hit him for 14000 damage at once and he just gives up on mimicry and starts doing things like triple-casting Meteor and stuff in an effort to end you.


The solution is to defend and defend.



Perfect, just lovely! You've seen me doing nothing, and are copying that nothing yourselves! Rather... you're doing perfectly nothing, perfectly! Yes! You feel it-the essence of mimicry! I give you my blessing to continue on the true path of imitation! Adieu!!! Break a leg!



He then throws himself into the Rift.


But we get this job! It's very, very, very special, and I'll show you why... eventually!


Besides Moore's perpetual dot, the only other spots in the sea are the next to tablet locations. I always take the Great Sea Trench before Istory Falls, because it's mentioned first in the book.


Until then, grind. We need a lot of money to get some necessary articles.

NEXT TIME:


WHAT ARE THESE THINGS?!
