108 The sky is open.
Rumors have spread across the entire continent of Kara with magical communications that I gather ideas to build my country.
Talents came from all over the world for their adoption and money. They came up with a lot of useless ideas, but they also came up with a lot of unexpected good ideas. I particularly liked the treatment technique called Seedlings. A continental healer who wears cow's milk is interested in the fact that smallpox isn't a common occurrence.
We found that people with cow smallpox do not get smallpox and how to vaccinate them.
I immediately checked the facts and asked Padilla to award the 1,000 leaf gold and rank fourth in line. But she unexpectedly dropped the rank of first in line with 3,000 leafs of gold. It was the smallpox that killed Padilla's parents and brothers in the past.
Thanks to this, Kaoyan Excitement Hall had to face the measles. It was because so many visitors came.
So I made Padilla create a special device that specializes in collecting inventions and ideas.
No matter how much I needed it, it's so annoying. We needed to institutionalize more inventions and ideas anyway, so we needed to create a national organization to manage them. Then I don't need to spend a long time listening to useless ideas, I just need to review some of the final documents.
“Ugh. Cold. ”
Winter is here. Armida's sister, walking down the hall to work with me, often walked. It looked pretty cold under all kinds of coats.
But I wasn't very impressed. Compared to the winter of my hometown car, this cold was only a cold autumn weather.
“What do you mean it's cold? ”
“Aren't you cold? It snowed yesterday. Shura, aren't you cold? ”
I asked Armida for help, but only with the look on Shura's face. In fact, her hometown, the Kingdom of Calgo, and the long established town of Aim, were in almost the same latitude as the territory of our car.
Shura looks out for me and Armida's sister and takes a middleman position.
“A little.”
“Right? Oh, my brother is so insensitive. ”
As you leave the palace, the cold winds rise. My sister hurriedly tried to get back into the palace and caught up with me.
“Where are you going?”
“It's bad for the skin. It's very dry, but if you get hit by a scorching wind, your skin will break. ”
“It's warm in the office. When the water is hot, it holds moisture. ”
Armida wept.
“We have a long walk ahead of us. ”
“Then how do I get Shura to work alone? I can't even speak properly when I see him. That's why you should be with her. ”
Armida looks back.
“Alone? Brother, where are you going? ”
“Uh, I ordered some clothes. I have to go find it. ”
My sister's eyes sparkled. Armida's eyes turn to fashion items.
“What clothes? Jewelry? Or silk, or both? ”
“It's just functional clothing. There's nothing fancy about it. ”
“Really?"
“Anyway, go to work with Shura quickly. I'll be there as soon as I can. ”
“Tsk. Okay. ”
Armida's sister follows you, pouting.
Soon after leaving the palace gate, I broke up with my group and went to the leather jewelry store in the Workshop Street.
“Mr. White Face, welcome. ”
The leather miller greeted me politely. I glanced around and replied.
“Yes. Did you get your stuff? ”
“Yes, I have it just in time. Wait a moment.”
A goldsmith picked up a leather vest. It was a custom made cracker vest. It was my new basic armor with a double layer of fracker leather in between.
This vest not only perfectly shields any weapon except for Aura Blade, but it also has the ability to defend against eight cycles of nonattacking magic. It also has basic thermal management and anti-stress capabilities, making it look like it can be worn for a long time, as well as cool in summer and warm in winter.
I had a satisfied look on my vest. Perfect for the body.
“That's pretty good. How much?”
“Just one gold leaf, please. ”
“Here.”
I gave him money without a fuss. I don't save money on the cost of my life.
A leather jeweler with a small gold coin glanced at me.
“By the way, Mr. White, Where did you get these hides? ”
“I used to catch a horse called Fraker. Then why?”
“I'm surprised I didn't get cut off without Aura Blade. I've never seen leather like this before. ”
“It's good. ”
“Can't I save you?" ”
I insisted on denial.
“I can't. I'm not selling it. ”
“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”
“Why? Are you looking for someone? ”
“Yes. A young woman came to me yesterday, asked me a question. ”
“Young woman? Is she pretty?”
“Yes, you look like a Blood, and you're quite pretty. ”
Bloody women look like Elves, though. The Blood tend to be wicked and sinister, but they look alike because they are a cousin of the Elves.
“Really?"
“But you seem to know him well. I hear you know that woman. ”
I smiled, Pic. There is only one Blood woman I know at the moment. I was waiting for when he came, but he's here in Kara now.
“Ah, the widow. I'm well aware. All right, well, good work. ”
“Yes, go in. ”
I went out to be escorted by the master of the leather mill.
As I was walking down the street, I smiled gladly at the busy workshop streets. Recently, the workshop streets have been lively. It was because I put a lot of crafting quests in the Royal Palace.
Currently, the Weapons Institute and Industry Laboratory are asking for private fabrication of various parts while producing automatic steel horses and various other magical items, which is quite a lot. Thanks to Kara, she has continued to thrive as an accredited group of traders from all over the world, despite the recent escaping.
Especially the dwarves from the Jorgant Kingdom.
A dwarf is a strong warrior and a great clan of artisans. That's why we've been leading the human industry, and Kara has been threatening that position recently. It was because a pile of unimaginable magical goods were pouring out of Kara.
The dwarven craftsmanship stirs, and a large number of dwarves rush to Kara. To learn Kara's skills.
It was very good. Dwarves have a function ahead of any other species in precision part processing and metal processing. If they work for Kara, the magic products Kara produces will be much better.
Who is it?
As I stepped into the shortcut alley, I heard a small buzzing sound behind me. I could see that there was someone following me. I gently put my hand on the hilt of Jojo's blade and walked back.
Soon I heard a beautiful woman's voice behind me.
“What a backbone. You recognize this much, don't you? ”
I turned my back, smiling. I was the sales rep I was waiting for Most sales people sell deceptive products that are of little use, but not that woman.
“Evelyn, it's been a long time. ”
“Were you waiting for me? ”
“Of course. I've been waiting for a long time. ”
“I don't like guys who hang on to me. I like a chic guy. ”
“I don't think Chic will freeze to death. So, what are you here for this time? ”
Evelyn approaches with a gorgeous face.
“I got what you ordered earlier. ”
There was only one product I ordered Emptiness. I opened my eyes sharply.
“It already came out? ”
“You said you'd make it smaller. ”
“Even so. It's been less than a year, right? ”
“It's a lot smaller than you think. ”
“How small is it? ”
“You'll be disappointed. It only emphasizes efficiency and practicality. ”
I looked like I didn't care at all.
“If you're right, I think he'd really like it. ”
“Really? That's a relief. ”
“Where are you right now? ”
“It's a long way from Kara. Wouldn't everyone be surprised if you brought them here unannounced? ”
Well, something will come out of the sky, but if you just pick it up and throw it away, Kara will be in chaos. The conspiracy theorists will shudder at the loss of the world, and the religious people will hold a grand reception, not when God comes.
“Well done. Let's go see. ”
“Yes. Follow me. ”
After Evelyn's gesture, I went right after her. Finally, a void comes into my hands. I was so excited that my heart was beating and my hands were sweating.
I once saw the boon of Katrina Hildefernos in the Age of Doom, and I had hope in life for a while. It was easy to wipe out a crowd of hundreds of thousands of horses with one stone, so it was certainly worth impressing to me at the time.
It was devastated in the future, but the thrill of that time is still not forgotten.
Evelyn steps outside the gates and throws a giant essence to summon the magic. The aura of gray, which was backbone from head to toe, rose to a barren mound, ironically with wings on its back.
I summoned a Dark Crescent Horse and rode on it, looking at Evelyn's magic for a while.
“Evelyn?”
“Huh?"
“Is that the wings? ”
“Yes. It's decorative. ”
I hesitated with relief.
“So you can't fly? ”
“No. Fly. ”
I opened my eyes sharply.
“Hey, you said it was decorative. ”
“Wings are ornamental, but they fly. There's a magic move in the air. ”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. Wings mean magic in the sky. Without wings like yours, you can't fly. So wings are symbolic signs and ornaments that fly in the sky. ”
I still hold my head back with my eyes sharp.
“If you had wings, you'd fly anyway? ”
“Well, not all of them. That's roughly how the magic spells of the heavenly city of Kronos work. ”
“Okay, that's enough. ”
I thought of my sister Armida and kept talking. This sister tricked me. She said she couldn't fly away from her magic horse with wings.
I thought I'd have to settle it later.
* * *
Arriving overnight in the middle of the desert of death. It was an unpopular place six days from Waiba, covered in sand, unlike the deserts around Kara.
Evelyn stands in front of a dungeon for a moment and says,
“This is as far as I go. Come with me.”
Slowly, I found three large chunks of metal turning the sand dunes. It looked like a round, flat metal box, and what was unusual was that there was a pair of large, elongated ski poles on the bottom and a protruding section with a thick glass window on the front.
I looked somewhat disappointed. It was much smaller than I expected. Its fuselage was only a little more than 10 meters long, 4.5 meters wide and 3.5 meters high.
It was hard to call it unfair, rather than unfair.
“Is that it?"
“Yes.”
“Humanly too small, isn't it? ”
“Don't just look at the outside. It's much more effective than I expected. ”
As I approached, I could see more than 20 armed men gathering. They greeted me politely when they saw Evelyn, but I was cautious. Apparently, Evelyn was the same people in her group.
Evelyn brought me close to the lump of metal and introduced me.
“Well, then look inside the unfair. ”
Once inside, there was a space with 14 seats listed in two columns. I felt like I was entering a room made of metal.
“Where am I? ”
“Where combat personnel board. ”
“Combat agent? What do they do? ”
“I'm just riding. You can always think of yourself as a Marine. ”
Being a Marine was easy to understand. The Marine was a combat force on board a ship, either battling on the deck or ashore to fight the enemy.
I examined the holes and small windows on either side of the metal wall.
“What is this? ”
“External muzzle. The combatant on board can fire a magical grenade launcher externally. ”
You make your way through the mounting area holding your head back and into the cockpit.
“This is where you fly? ”
“Yes, pilots, co-pilots, all two of them on board. ”
I looked up at the ladder above the cockpit. It was because of another cramped room covered with windows.
“Up there? ”
“Where the front-line shooter boards. Powerful Magic Shot launchers are installed to fight enemies approaching the gas. And there's another one on top of the fighter car we just passed. Where the rear gunner boards. ”
Then, it meant that all 18 people could board. There were more people than I thought.
“Don't you have some other kind of special weapon? ”
“No, I didn't. ”
I narrowed my eyes.
“You said it was useful and practical. Humans will make these, too. Honestly, all you have to do is put in floating magic and aerial motion magic, right? ”
“So it's practical. Humans can make them. The thing about this stimulus is it can make a human being. Besides, he only has 256 of the finest essences. ”
256 were unimaginable quantities.
Currently, the price of the best essence is 4,860 leaf gold based on the wholesale price. 256 means that the cost of purchasing the essence alone is 1.2 million leaf.
However, it was only a very small quantity on my basis. I once defeated a Urubos and rescued a small room of giant essences.
If you melt it down and recycle it, you could run this process nearly 600 times.
“Only 256? ”
He said, "Yeah. He's got a lot smaller, and he's got everything but the features that he really needs. ”
“Really? What's your movement speed? ”
“Maximum speed is 230 kilometers per hour. Cruise speed is 160 kilometers per hour. ”
It was a stunning speed. If you go 230 kilometers an hour, you can cross the Horse Trade Route in less than two and a half hours.
“How far away is it? ”
“Four and a half hours at cruise speed. ”
If so, it meant that we could go up to 700 kilometers.
“Really?"
“Yes. If you turn the Mana into the Magic Grenade launcher installed at the front and rear here, it's about a quarter further. ”
It meant that it would expand its range to 880 kilometers if used only as a transport ship. It was very encouraging. On the day of the coming apocalypse, this nonaircraft will also carry refugees, and it certainly seems to play a big role.
“Good. I like it. How much?”
“100,000 reefs of gold per spine. Except, of course, the essence price. ”
I glanced at Evelyn.
“Isn't it too expensive? ”
Evelyn pulls a bunch of documents out of her arms.
“Technical fees included. With this blueprint, we can build this with human technology. That's why we made it unfrocessed. It also includes technology that allows for inexpensive extraction of aluminum. This is a great blueprint. ”
Aluminum was a light metal, also called silver, but it was also a very expensive metal that was traded for very high prices.
Somewhat less than gold, but much more expensive than silver.
“How much can I withdraw it for? ”
“How much is it a little more than iron? ”
If so, I was very wet. I was willing to offer 300,000 gold leafs if she wanted to, with just that aluminum extraction technology. If you were to pull out aluminum for the price of gold similar to the price of iron, it would be almost a fraudulent technique.
“So, Cole. ”
Evelyn smiles bitterly.
“I knew you'd live. Anyway, I have a good eye for merchandise. ”
“No more compliments. Let's just test it. I'll see what I can do. ”
I then drove around the area unfairly for a while. I was somewhat afraid of flying for the first time in my life, but I feel surprised because I am adaptable to it.
I specifically asked Evelyn to sit in the cockpit and touch the cockpit. When I enjoyed speed, it was best if I controlled it myself.
