Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 244

 

Visit



-The 4th year of the Empire's Reign-


On that day, the Imperial Capital's barrier was lifted for the first time.


Although it is a barrier that has only been used for 3 years


"It's much bigger than it used to be."


"The decorations are also amazing."


A ship descends from the sky to the Imperial Capital.


Three times bigger than the one we rode on when we came back


It can be said that it is a ship suitable for the royal family to board.


"Actually, it was made larger with stability and safety in mind. But its performance and carrying capacity have been rather reduced."


Yukikaze says bluntly.


"No matter. Dignity is important, isn't it?"


"We made that dignity for you, though, didn't we?"


"Will you guys shut up?"


Giran was pissed.


The airship lands quietly and slowly.


"That’s amazing… not even a cloud of dust..."


"It's amazing, isn't it? I worked hard on the design!"


Giran is surprised and Yukikaze boasts


A red-carpeted staircase emerges from the airship.


And several people descend the stairs.


Familiar faces emerge.


Among them is a man wearing luxurious clothes.


"...Geldarinne Kingdom. The lord of the country, Julius Elga Balbaroy Esker!"




------------




"The name of the country hasn't changed much, has it?"


"Nobody could come up with a good name... If Geldarinne was denied, the name of the country would have been Gonzales."


Geldarinne is the only choice


We quickly finished our greetings as per the schedule we had prepared in advance, and then it was time for private time.


"King Julius is still inexperienced. I was afraid he was going to lose it towards the end."


"I'm sorry, Emperor Giran."


"Don't worry about it, Julius. Giran is always whining about things like [I want to go to bed already], [I want to quit], and [Who decided the emperor or some other fucking post?]"


"Shiro, you bastard, which side are you on, the empire or the kingdom?"


I'm on both sides.


"But airships are very useful. I never thought that a country isolated on a rough sea would be able to communicate to others again like this."


"It is convenient. But it consumes a lot of magic stone and cannot be used like the locomotive."


"I imagine the locomotives are wonderful."


"Yes. In fact, the existence of the locomotive is the basis of the empire."


"Ah, there's one business I'd like to talk about!"


Yukikaze joins the conversation between Giran and Julius.


"This is the plan. Can King Julius read?"


"Are you making fun of me! Mother taught me how to read and write!"


Yeah, yeah, don't fight


"...Yukikaze-dono ...you. No, this plan... are you insane?"


"I'm sane. If it is put into practical use, exchanges between the empire and the kingdom will flourish."


"It's not going to be prosperous. It's like going back to the time before the collapse of the continent."


I looked at the plan from the side.


"...No, this is crazy."


"Even Shiro... We can do it!"


"How far do you think it is to the Kingdom?"


"It's not a straight line. There are small islands here and there, so we'll have to relay it."


The plan is


"Intercontinental railroad bridge plan... that's crazy!"


"I think the things that Shiro will show the two of you from now on are also crazy too, you know?”


That's right. It's crazy, that's why I have to show it.


"Shiro-dono always complains, but..."


"I think you're the one who always shows the most insane things?"


"Don't be rude. Listen. What I'm about to show you is a weapon that shouldn't be used."


""Shouldn't be used?""


Yes, if this spreads, the world will be filled with the will to kill.


But even if we seal it off, someone will come up with it someday.


It's a weapon that we have to think about countermeasures
