Chapter 304 – 71. I’m a Man on a Floating Boat… ! (3)
The float began to slowly take off. The city residents who came out of the city and watched it burst into cheers and exclamations at the amazing sight.
– Oh, it floats, it floats!
A ship flies in the sky! Even though I saw it with my own eyes twice yesterday and today, it is still hard to believe. … But it was clear that it was an undeniable reality.
New passengers are equally astonished. No, I was receiving a much stronger shock than simply watching from below.
This is the amazing technology of Vermandois!
For humans without wings, the desire to fly is a legacy passed down from ancient times… The moment that desire is realized, humans are bound to feel an indescribable emotion.
The lord of the castle and his family, Allen’s mother, and even Baron Dolsang Pomwell couldn’t hide their surprise and emotion on their faces.
“I’ll go round the neighborhood!”
The flotsam made a great turn, rising to a height where not only the city but also the fortifications of the copper mines could be seen in the distance.
The people in the cabin clung to each window, pointing here and there with their fingers, saying, “Look here, look there,” And everyone was delighted like children.
Watching her family rejoice, Charlotte glanced at Allen Danju with a hearty smile.
I endured the chimney-like feeling of wanting to shout, “This is the kind of person I am in the southern village of, whom I respect and respect, Allen Danju.”
Allen Danju’s mother also made a fuss about her, saying, “Look over there,” To Baron Dolsang, and stir-fried her husband. But this time, the baron was also willing to accept all of his wife’s fuss. … Looking at them, the money ghost laughed heartily, saying, “It was really good that they came to their hometown.”
After a flight that was neither too long nor too short, World Suho landed back to her original seat. The eyes of the city dwellers who watched it from the ground up to the end were also full of desire to ride the floating boat at least once.
Of course, since this is not the Vermandois that can carry hundreds of people, it was right to refrain from going on board for further tasting.
Seongju, who tasted the ecstasy of flight, noticed that he wished he had a floating boat.
“I think it will be very expensive. It’s a ship that flies.”
“Ah, yes… , The price is a bit high, haha.”
Then one of the nobility, who was prone to making a fuss, asked directly what the price was.
“About five million gold coins.”
At that moment, everyone present looked at them as if they had heard something wrong.
At the amount, which was not colossal but terrifying, Seongju forgot her face and asked again.
“… Just now, five million, I think I heard… ?”
“Yes, five million is correct.”
The Vermand Duis, which I couldn’t afford to make again, couldn’t even afford her. At least, the amount was set in the hope that there would be about 5 million small world guardians. … Honestly, it deserves that much!
At an unimaginable price, everyone present shut their mouths like dumb people who ate honey. Even if it was a bit expensive, the castle lord, who had been thinking about keeping one for the future, had completely disappeared as if it had always been the case. For Vercher, who didn’t even have 500,000 gold coins in store, 5 million was just a distant story.
“Hmmmm. Quite expensive… !”
“Haha, yes, a little, that’s how it happened.”
Honestly, there’s no way a flying boat could be cheap enough to buy in just about any city. If it were 5 million, he would have been caught in the back of his neck, even if he had a lot of money.
Anyway, the passengers who finished the flight safely laughed hahahoho and all headed to the castle. A banquet has been prepared to celebrate this monumental first flight from Berher.
Of course, the courtship poured out by Allen Danju, who was outstanding in both her wealth and ability, was great. Even if she wasn’t related to her in-laws, it was enough for her to have connections like these in her aristocratic society and just acquaintances.
Of course, Allen never thought negatively of the strong relationship with them. Businessmen to the bone have a habit of putting it on even if they say it will soon be cut off.
The group of Allen, who had enjoyed three days in Berher, his hometown, prepared to leave again on a floating ship.
– The next time you come, find a true bride and come. I don’t want anything else. All you need is a child with a good heart.
She seems to have raised her son well, and her mother wants to see a true daughter-in-law worthy of her son.
Allen, in fact, pressed the word that she even had a grandson up to her throat. She said it for no reason, but she thought her mother would come up to Vermandois to see her grandson’s face. … Next time I come back to my hometown, I should come with my son and the viola troupe.
The floating ship, the World Guardian, soared high into the sky. Again, city residents watching from the ground waved their hands and cheered.
It circled the city as if saying goodbye for the last time, then flew briskly to the next city.
The place to go this time is Kronstadt, a large city representing the south!
The city of dukedom where the money ghost Allen Danju and her older brother Carly Hill Danju are located.
It’s not polite to come to the southern region and not see your face at least once. He said that his older brother also lives there, so he should be able to see his face once in a while.
Apparently, there were few people in the south who had seen floating ships, so whenever they passed the city, there was an uproar. What can I do though? Think of it as a rite of passage. That’s why you can’t fly without supplies in the city.
After flying for days and days like that, Allen’s group finally began to see the large city of Kronsold.
“It’s Kronstadt—!”
Of course, Kronstadt, like other southern cities, was surprised to see a floating ship that suddenly appeared. However, since Kronstadt is a large city with a large floating population, there were many people who knew about floating ships, so there were no misfortunes that could lead to emergencies. Still, just in case, members of the duchy led the guards and came out to the spot where the floating boat landed.
Of course, the person who appeared leading the guards was Kali Hill, the symbol of the southern mercenary corps – Kali Hill Danju of the mercenary corps.
The son of the duke saw Allen Danju disembarking from the floating ship, and his brother! And called in a loud voice. The two men embraced each other with smiles on their faces and patted each other happily on the back.
“Brother, how have you been?”
“Southern, well, always! … I heard the capital went into chaos a while ago?”
“Haha, well, yes, it was a bit of a mess.”
“Still, my brother, it’s good that you look fine!”
After a kind greeting, Carlyhill Danju looked at the floating ship and exclaimed, “Kiyaa.”
“Is this the floating ship? That’s really amazing. I’ve never been so excited in my life! I didn’t even look at my wife!”
“What are you going to do if your sister-in-law hears it?”
“It’s just a secret between us.”
Danju was not the only one who was deeply moved and admired. Everyone who saw the floating ship for the first time was in a state of deep emotion. They went round and round the flotsam and went crazy watching it.
Numerous city dwellers also did not make a fuss about watching it from afar. Of course, Allen’s group, who had been through this many times, were now calm.
“Go inside.”
The group rode the wagon pulled by Danju Kalihill and entered the duchy. The old duke must have been thrilled to see the floating ship from the high tower of the duke’s castle, and he came out to see Allen Danju himself with his heavy buttocks.
“Your Highness, the Duke, how have you been?”
“Ohh, yes, Allen Danju. It’s been a while.”
The two exchanged simple greetings. And the Duke chinned toward the floating ship and secretly took luck.
“That must be the flying boat.”
“Yes that’s right. If you would like, would you like to board the ship?”
“Then don’t be nice!”
“I need to replenish my magic spheres today, so I’ll set up a schedule so that I can board the ship with my family tomorrow.”
“I’ll look forward to it, Danju!”
The old duke liked it like a child. As if reciprocating, he told us to prepare for a big banquet in the evening.
Then, taking advantage of a short break, Allen left the castle and headed for the mansion where his brother lived. He rides in the duke’s carriage lent to him by the Carly Hill Danju.
His older brother, who wanted to leave the narrow Berher and rise in the big world, eventually advanced to Kronstadt, but because his ability was not so insignificant compared to his great ambition, he became the husband of the only daughter of a baron family common in large cities, and was living barely. .
The baron couple, who lived in a small mansion and received only a snot tax from a distant estate, were surprised by an unexpected guest who suddenly appeared.
“Older brother.”
“Allen!”
He was ten years older than Allen, and well past forty now, he had a gray hair or two on his head. Although he was a naturally handsome man, his clothes were not very luxurious because he did not have enough money.
“How much is this!”
“That’s right. … You are very old too.”
“This guy, as soon as I met him, he started talking badly.”
The blood brothers laughed innocently.
“I am on my way to meet my father and mother.”
“How are you two? Are you well?”
“Yes, you are well. Berher, don’t worry too much.”
Then, brother, a bitter smile appeared on Borner’s face.
“… I am truly unfilial. I can’t see you often.”
“I will be too.”
“You left in search of an honest dream. … I was just delusional.”
“Dreams are different, just like people are different. Didn’t you want politics?”
“You didn’t know my subject.”
When the conversation became too heavy, Allen quickly changed the subject.
“Do you have any nephews?”
“Yes. Two sons and two daughters.”
“Please introduce me.”
The two entered the mansion amicably, shoulder to shoulder. And his family standing side by side in the hall.
The sister-in-law was a simple-looking, quiet woman who, at first glance, was far removed from aristocratic society. She greeted warmly as she saw Allen Danju, whose reputation was echoing across the continent.
Even the nieces and nephews saw Allen Danju for the first time, and it seemed strange. In particular, the eldest son said with bright eyes as soon as the greeting was over.
“I heard that you came on a flying boat.”
“Yes, I came by boat.”
“Can I take a ride too?”
Then, her sister-in-law quietly called the eldest son by name, as if not to embarrass him.
“Haha, it’s okay. Because I was going to burn it anyway. Would you like to take a ride with your brother and sister-in-law?”
“Is that okay?”
“Of course. Coincidentally, the people from the duke’s side were also picked up tomorrow, so you can ride together.”
Oh!
It is Allen’s last chance to give her older brother Borner, who still has no lingering attachment to politics. Now, whether he succeeds or not is entirely up to him.
… The brothers shared a reunion that they hadn’t shared in the drawing room, promised tomorrow, and parted ways.
The next day that came like that.
The floating ship, the World Guard, was ridden by dukes and some aristocratic families. Of course, Allen’s older brother, Borner, and his family.
“Who are you?”
“I am Baron Borner Pomwell Gainus. Allen Danzou is my younger brother.”
“Oh, nice to meet you, Lord Borner.”
While Borner was making eye contact with aristocratic figures, the floating ship was ready for takeoff.
“Then everyone hold on tight!”
Soon, the world defense took off amidst cheers from the city dwellers.
This time, the reaction of the nobles was very enthusiastic. The old duke is equally impressed. Does he have anything like this in the world! With a smile on his face, he burst into exclamations of admiration.
After such a wonderful flight, the World Guardian landed again, and the Duke, who disembarked, praised the flotation ship until his mouth was dry with excitement.
“I’d love to buy this if I could!”
“Haha, I don’t have any plans to dry it yet. … And the price is quite reasonable, Your Highness.”
“I’ll pay any amount!”
Carly Hill Danju, who I rode with, asked the price insinuatingly.
“This is, how much… ?”
“Hmmmm. About six million gold coins.”
… In Berher, the price of 5 million gold coins has increased by 1 million gold coins, but that’s the mind of a seller!
Of course, the people who were surprised at the price of the astonishing comrades were wide-eyed.
“Yu, did you say six million?”
“Anyway, since the wood of the World Tree is used for the highest skill of the Archmage, the price is a bit high. Still, it’s well worth my money.”
“Haha…”
I really want a Duke, but the price is so exorbitant that I can’t bear it.
Allen, of course, was not ignorant of the fact that there were few people on this continent capable of paying a lump sum of six million gold coins. … At best, the city of silver, the lord of Agnentia, or the iron fortress, the lord of Karlstadt. Of course, it won’t be easy for them either.
The old duke could not be ignorant of the wealth of his own city. Even so, he still had an unquenchable desire to buy.
… And there’s no way Allen, the money ghost, can’t let that desire go unnoticed!
“Sure, how would you pay for six million right away? We are also considering receiving it in ten years.”
“If ten years… ?”
“That’s six hundred thousand per year.”
600,000 gold coins was not impossible if a wealthy duke tightened his belt. Of course, I won’t be able to do any other civil engineering work for a while.
“Of course, as I said earlier, there are no plans to dry it yet. If it makes it, that means it is.”
Still, when the possibility of purchase appeared, the duke gave a sneak peek at Carly Hill Danju while clearing his throat. Since he is a sworn brother, it means that you should take care of yourself.
Hogu Danju smiled and wrapped his arms around Allen’s shoulder.
“About that, I’ll go in later and look into it more closely, brother!”
“Yes, brother.”
… And the two sworn brothers who entered the duchy and had a full-fledged conversation.
“Great! I especially looked at my older brother’s face… , Six hundred thousand gold coins! I’ll cut you off! That’s a whopping year’s worth.”
“Ohh, after all, my brother!”
Hogu Danju, who cut a whopping 600,000 from six million gold coins, liked that it was an amazing negotiation. He cut 600,000 pieces, so naturally the duke also praised his son for his work.
“Next time I make it, I’ll be sure to sell it to us first. Understand?”
“I see, brother!”
“Thank you very much! After all, there is only my brother!”
“Ah, what is it? Lol.”
… Maybe it’s because we’re happy with each other… ?
