Airship Captain

[Tarlock]

I am Tarlock,

captain of this

Airship. Did you

have a question?

Hm? Oh, that

We reindeer are a proud

race who like to travel the

world. But that should be

obvious if you think of the

reindeer working for Claus.

Well, reindeer or

not, I've earned the

captaincy of this ship

and the loyalty of my crew.

We'll do everything we can to

make sure your flight is safe.

Mm...?

Didn't you ask me that

before? Well, in any case

I apologize, but I'm still not

allowed to tell you that secret.

before? Are you just curious

or did you really want to know?

Hahahaha~

Maybe someday you'll

figure out how this Airship

is able to stay aloft and

fly through the skies.

In all honestly, the

secret to this Airship's

flight is something that

only captains are authorized

to know. So I shouldn't really

tell you anything about it.

But I've never been able

to trust upper management

so I don't have any loyalty to

them. I wouldn't mind telling

you that classified info if you

do a little favor for me first.

Alright. But don't

worry, I'm not going

to ask you to do anything

that you can't handle. Come

back after you decide, alright?

Ha-hah! I like you

already! Alright, here's

the deal. I have a younger

brother who I rarely see since

he's also an Airship Captain

that's always traveling.

Would you bring this

letter to my brother,

Ferlock? Also, please

make sure that you come

back with his reply, alright?

Thank you, adventurer.

Oh, and once you meet

my brother, please help

him out. He'll explain it

once you see him.

You have received

Captain Tarlock's letter

to deliver to his younger

brother, Captain Ferlock.

Oh!

And he answer you? Really?!

In fact, I wasn't

expecting that too much...

Please wait a little,

I'll read his letter.

Um... Ha ha ha~!

This guy, he is a real lover!

But his true inner man

is limited by his duty.

What do you think?

Hoh hoh hoh.

He continue reading

the letter.

Yes, I finished.

Even if I understand him

I've a totally different

point of view. But both

of us are fearless.

Oh, I almost forgot,

I'll teach you what you

wanted to know.

The Airship's secret to float is...

The large boiler is setted on fire,

That moves the pistons, gears

and turbines with the steam

that is generated when the water

passes within the boiler.

That turns the propeller.

That's all. Did you understand?

Ha ha ha!

I explained it roughly to

make it easier to understand

by you. Still, you aren't

pleased? I said it in plain

english that everyone could

understand.

Obviously, only with a steam

is impossible to make this fly.

Therefore, it uses an amplifier

called Rune Mechanism.

It's a device that uses a

magic stone as power source.

However, I don't know how

this work...

I forgot the details probably

because I didn't paid much attention.

The only I remember is

that the energy is amplified

while it passes through the

Rune that is attached to a

steam engine.

In fact, all this airship

floats thanks to the power

given by the stone, no

exaggeration.

It has really a strong power.

Did you understand?

I'll rest a little.

I'm tired for reading

and writing those long

letters.

Didn't I teach you before?

I won't explain such a long

tale again!

Hahahah! Don't worry, I'll

tell you know this Airship

flies once you deliver that

letter to my brother, Ferlock,

and bring back his reply.

Hahaha! How this

Airship flies? Yes, it's

quite wonderful, isn't it?

Although that's a secret,

let me assure you that it's

nothing weird or dangerous.

Alright, then.

Thanks for flying

with us, and I hope

you enjoy your travels.
