At 10 a.m., the <> rendezvoused with the <> > over Lake Kotshi.

"Oh, oh!"

"Big ......!"

And the people of the Principality of Dalat were still astonished at the size of the 100-meter-long craft.

"Well, of course it is."

For a moment, Jin wondered what the reaction would be if he showed them a spaceship < with a diameter of 300 meters. Of course, he would not do that.

Jin, Reiko, and the rest of the Dukedom of Dalat are then transferred from the to the by a special .

It is explained that this can actually travel several hundred kilometers, but due to the amount of magic it consumes, it can only travel about 500 meters at most, and that it is only for short distances.

"Welcome to <>. Your Majesty the Prince."

Deus ex machina III greeted the Duke of Dalat, followed by the Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Minister of the Interior.

"It is a pleasure to meet you today, Lord Machina."

The Prime Minister replied on behalf of the group.

"Well then, I will now go to meet the people of the Principality of Norway.

As Jin said this, Theobald Theodoric von Grain, Marquis of the Shoro Kingdom and current President of the World Congress, bowed to Jin,

"Jin-dono, thank you for your time.

He then saw Jin off with a bow and said, "Sorry for your trouble, Mr. Jin.

* * * * *

It is about 120 kilometers from Lake Kotsi to Resonare, the capital of the Principality of Norway.

< arrived in about 20 minutes and landed at an airfield on the outskirts of the city.

"We have been waiting for you, Jin-dono.

Prime Minister Premus High Yasna rushed to Jin as he stepped out of the .

There were the Prince of Wales, Keith Tennick de Norha, the First Prince Zifora Movie de Norha, the Minister of General Affairs Kaim Lo Hasta, the Minister of Military Affairs Zonata Nictes Vecchio, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Boraghia Reed Mihara, who was the first time Jin had ever met him.

"We will take you to <>. Please get in."

Jin leads the Prince on his way.

Without any extra ceremony, the first prince, the prime minister, the minister of general affairs, the minister of military affairs, the minister of foreign affairs, and Reiko board the <> in that order.

After confirming that everyone was seated and buckled in, Jin ordered Hope to launch.

"<>, go!"

"Yes, master."

"Oh, oh, oh!"

They had flown in hot air balloons before, but this was the first time for them to fly in an airship, or even a blow floater, and they were amazed at the power of the ascent.

They were all amazed at the speed of ascent.

"No, not at all."

< is a wind-powered blower-floater, which means that it can climb while keeping the aircraft horizontal.

Its initial acceleration is about 2 meters per second, or about 0.2G. The total acceleration is 1.2G.

Even a first-time flyer can handle that much.

After a little less than two minutes at an altitude of over 200 meters, the began to fly horizontally.

The aircraft stays level and gains altitude.

"It's fast, isn't it?"

<

As we broke through the low clouds, the sky above us was an azure blue.

Such clouds drifted backward so quickly that one can only imagine the speed of a <>.

"How fast is it going?"

the Prime Minister asked Jin.

"About 400 kilometers per hour right now."

"My God!"

The Prime Minister was surprised to hear the actual speed.

"When you are flying like this, you don't feel like you are going any faster than you thought you were because of the distance, do you?"

"No, that's not true. ......"

Jin thought that the flight was not as fast as he had expected, but it seemed to be less so for those who were on it for the first time.

The return flight took about 20 minutes, and the plane arrived over Lake Kotsi.

"What a big ......!"

"I never thought anything so huge could float in the sky. ......"

And the same was true for the people of the Principality of Dalat, who were amazed to see .

"Come on, let's move."

They also went to <> by . It is an instantaneous movement.

(I should mention that there are restrictions on distance and magic power, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble. ......)

Jin thinks that a warp gate or a magic circle that can travel long distances in an instant would change the means of transportation, but at the same time it would hinder the development of means of transportation.

"Welcome to <>. I am the third generation of <>.

Deus ex machina III was the first to welcome them and introduce himself.

"Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Prime Minister Premus High Yasna stepped forward and shook hands.

The members of the Duchy of Norway also greeted him.

* * * * * * * * * * *

Now that all the members are present, the peace conference of the three duchies is about to begin.

The first thing to do is to greet the participants.

Most of the participants met each other for the first time here.

"I am Keith Tennick de Norha, Prince of Norha.

Gilbert de Dalat, Prince of Dalat.

Gaspard de Mimaka, Prince of Mimaka.

After the King, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Internal Affairs introduced themselves, and then the discussion could begin.

The chairperson will be Theobald Theodoric von Grain, Marquis of Shawlo and current President of the World Congress.

Also present were Gaju Tuga and Ilmina Ratkin.

Jin and Makina III observe from the sidelines in an advisory or consultative role.

The subjects of discussion are, of course, the Duchy of Jagus and participation in the <>.

Now that the influence of the <> has almost disappeared over the years, the three duchies do not want to be left behind in the world, so they had no objection to becoming a member of the <>.

The problem is the Principality of Jags.

Although they are still under investigation, they have technology that is clearly different from that of the other three duchies, and as a <>, they are considered to be a force to be reckoned with.

It is easy to establish a cooperative relationship when there is a common goal.

After about an hour of discussion, a cooperative framework is established and signed by the three principalities.

The three principalities are provisionally admitted to the .

The agreement signed at this time is called the .

The 5th of July. stands quietly in the air.

It seemed to embody the people's wish for a peaceful future.
