Chapter 302 – 71. I’m a Man on a Floating Boat… ! (One)
Allen Danju made a flying boat!
Rumors like that spread across the continent in an instant. Of course, those who had only heard the rumors snorted, saying that it made sense, but there were too many eyewitnesses who had seen the floating ship in person, so it was impossible to dismiss it as simply nonsense.
– Or are you holding a sheet in your hand? Oh, if you don’t believe it, go to Vermandois! It flies every day, so you won’t know if I’m right or not!
As the rumor-tellers spoke so confidently, in the end, the Merchant Corps and the Mercenary Corps, who had less restrictions on movement, flocked to Vermandois to confirm the rumor’s true intentions.
And the giant tree bird I saw over Vermandois.
“Sir Baal… , The rumors were true…”
Those who did not know how to live and even see a ship that really flies in the sky, sincerely admired Vermandois’ far-flung technology.
The existence of the floating boat attracted more people to Vermandois. Not only the people who came and sat there just out of curiosity, but even the wizards who admired the phenomenal technology!
The developers who made the floating ship themselves were truly admired as the best geniuses on the continent. At the same time, they have more influence than the destroyed Mage Tower.
The already popular lecture is now a situation where more money comes with more money in any seat. Even the corridors and windows of the classrooms, where even the slightest voice can be heard, are lit up. Even so, none of the wizards were willing to sell their seats. For those who are fascinated by magic, knowledge and understanding of magic cannot be converted into money.
Country wizards who came to Seoul from a distant country came to the magic exchange meeting to ask for a lecture, even if they would sacrifice their lives. Asmond, a member of the development team and chairman of the exchange meeting, who is praised as one of the geniuses, gladly accepted such people as members.
Of course, joining the fellowship did not put the others aside and put them in the classroom, but instead, if one of them had listened to the lecture properly, they shared it completely with each other. It means mutually helping each other.
The newly joined members found out belatedly that President Asmond was a genius wizard who made a floating ship, and asked how he made it.
“I didn’t do anything very big. I just dealt with small things like this and that.”
Of course, the core technology cannot be divulged, so he gave a rough explanation of a few basic circuits. However, since the floatation machine is an enormous sum of magical logic, even a simple concept required a considerable level of knowledge and understanding. … In fact, before developing the floatation machine, Asmond would have been far from fully understanding it, but thanks to the development of it, listening to the scoldings of old Scone and Granzo Danju for several months, his understanding and knowledge of magic are highly advanced. Achieved the growth of
That’s what genius is!
They gradually developed a respect for the chairman who explained things that they couldn’t understand. At the same time, he was proud to belong to a group called the Magic Exchange Society.
Wizards are wizards too, but carpenters and blacksmiths can’t hear rumors of floating ships and not go crazy! I’ve even heard rumors that Allen Danju is planning something bigger than a flotation ship.
Of course, that’s a rumor that Allen Danju intentionally inflated. It was a hint of hopeful remarks about not planning something bigger than a floating ship, but possibly doing it. There is nothing wrong with him if he gathers many artisans from the continent like that.
Maybe in the distant future, I might actually create something even greater. … Assuming, of course, that money rots and overflows.
Anyway.
Allen, the money ghost, did not let the floating ship Vermandois go unnoticed. She has to go up to the sky carrying hundreds of people anyway, so she has to practice steadily while carrying people in advance. At the same time, if unforeseen problems pop up before design, we correct and supplement them.
Of course, I was thinking of getting the boarding fee. … She develops this. How much money she lost!
The boarding fee was thirty gold coins per person!
Even considering the high prices of Vermandois, it was a huge amount to burn with just one boarding, but it was still popular. Not only the mercenaries and prostitutes in Vermandois, but also the nobles who heard rumors from here and there overflowed. In addition, since the Vermandois only runs once a day, reserved seats are fully occupied until four or three days later.
This is somehow making up for her development costs, but to be honest, it was her new blood.
It is roughly 300,000 gold coins if it is filled with 10,000 seats for a full month, but even if you fill the whole year, you will only end up with 3.6 million gold coins. It takes three years to barely pass the break-even point. In terms of number of times, everyone in the central region had to ride the flotation ship once. … Calculated like this, the development cost is really far-fetched.
Still, it’s much better this way than having the entire continent popping up area by region from the scourge of the sky rays. … If the continent perishes, what is the use of 10 million or 100 million gold coins!
Of course, Allen, a businessman to the core, thought about transporting goods with this floating boat, but no matter how hard he tried to calculate it, it was definitely not more efficient than transporting it by land. As the weight increases, the mana consumption rate increases exponentially.
… But if there’s one exception, it’s when crossing a mountain range!
Apparently, the shortest distance crossed the mountain range at once, so it was possible to drastically reduce the time to cross the canyon road. If light and expensive luxuries are to be transported, it may be more profitable to use a floating boat than to go through a canyon road.
Anyway, Allen had one more world tree floating ship, which he had used before experimenting with Vermandois. It’s smaller than the Vermandois, but it’s still a floating boat that can easily carry dozens of people!
Name it, World Guardian.
He pondered whether to place it on the Arwen Gorge Road leading to the south. It would be right to judge how viable it is after operating it on a trial basis.
So, the money ghost decided to head for the canyon road on a small floating boat, the World Guardian, with the first group of Allen-Mercenaries and some companions. While I’m on my way, I’ll fly to the south once…
Of course, it wasn’t just business that made that decision. To find out how long-term the flotation can be used and how it performs in different environments.
If a stingray appears somewhere on the continent, we can’t wait until it comes near Vermandois. Let’s get on the float and fly there as fast as we can to get a good fight… !
Allen said a heartfelt goodbye to Viola Danju and his son, Karl, and boarded the float with his crew.
World Guardian slowly takes off while receiving handshakes and cheers from the people who have come out to see them off. Passers-by in Vermandois also stopped to watch the floating boat taking off.
Everyone on board had already boarded countless floating boats, but it was the first time that they were going on such a long trip, so their expressions were mixed with anticipation and tension.
A strong wind that could not be felt in the carriage ran through their bodies.
Everything on the ground became smaller than the ants, and little clouds began to pass by them.
“It’s fucking amazing, C-2-!”
The furry Geese, standing on the deck without entering the cabin, was delighted with a child-like laugh.
“Stay there and freeze!”
The higher the altitude, the colder the air. The furry dog, who was flirting with his arms wide open and the wind blowing his whole body, eventually couldn’t overcome the cold and entered the cabin.
After adjusting the altitude and stabilizing the floating ship, World Suho moved forward vigorously.
Towards the southern region.
· · ·
The World Guard reached the distance from Vermandois to Arwen Gorge in just a week, a distance that would have taken a month. It doesn’t just mean that it’s groundbreaking, it means that it’s on a completely different level. Even after driving for half a day and charging magic spheres the rest of the time, that kind of speed came out!
Certainly, there was no better means of transportation than this, if only people could be picked up according to the garden. However, in order to manipulate it, there is a condition that there must be at least two high-level wizards, but even taking that into consideration, it is a truly innovative invention.
The World Guardian spent the day at the fortress near the entrance to the Arwen Gorge, and then flew into the sky early the next morning.
Mountain ranges that are dizzyingly high to the human eye, can’t even be called an obstacle from the point of view of a floating ship. It crossed the mountains with all too ease and then made its way exhilaratingly across the winding canyon roads.
Although it required a single charge, the terrible demonic realm that usually took around ten days was overcome in just two days.
This becomes real… !
Breaking through the terrible Arwen Gorge road was also an innovation, but it was nothing short of a miracle.
If the price is set appropriately, people who want to use the floating ship will come flooding in. Since there is a limit to the amount that can be transported by a floating ship anyway, it was judged that this would not have a significant impact on the toll on the canyon road. In other words, while the benefits of one side are not significantly reduced, the benefits of the other side can also be taken!
… Still, to make up for the development costs, you have to fucking roll… !
Allen, the money ghost, felt sick every time he thought of the unimaginable development costs, but after confirming that there was still business potential, he felt a little better. … If, after dealing with the stingray, I decided that it was useless, I might have been really upset… !
Of course, the travel time is drastically reduced, but… , 10 million gold coins in exchange for reducing that is honestly too much.
Anyway.
The World Guardian quickly passed the Arwen Mountains and the canyon road, and this time headed towards the southern city.
… The first place to go is, of course, the hometown of the money ghost, Berher.
… Dad, you should be proud… !
My son, who almost choked on 3 gold coins, is now as good as this.
Isn’t this the heart of a child who visits his parents in a luxurious foreign car?
