Chapter 294: It seems I’m a bit tired already…
Alright, how about we give you a ride to that oasis?
R-really? But youve already helped us out a lot. We cant possibly
Dont worry about it. Itll be just a short ride, anyway.
By flying with us in the park, they would get there much sooner than if they traveled the sandy desert by foot. They also didnt have to worry to worry about monsters this way.
So, uhh, which way is it?
Over thereI think.
After giving her compass a brief look, Queen Maribel hesitantly pointed her finger in one direction.
after all that has happened, Ive lost track of our present whereabouts, you see.
A compass was indispensable in traveling this desert.
Without one, you were liable to lose your bearings immediately. And if you didnt even know where you were, reaching your destination in this place almost devoid of landmarks would be quite the herculean task.
Selen! Do you see anything over there?
Hold on a second
Selenwho was at the top of the observation towerthen tried to search with her naked eyes for the said oasis.
<<Observation tower: Tower made of sturdy stone that allows one to see further. Greatly improves ones vision.>>
I decided to use Facility Upgrade so that the observation tower would boost peoples vision even more.
Wow, I can see further away now! Ahh, can that oasis be what Im seeing?
It looked like she found something like an oasis.
R-really!?
Despite her shock, Queen Maribel rushed to the top of the tower.
Of course, I followed after her.
There, see?
WhaI do see something
When I looked at where Selen was pointing at, I saw a small pool of water amid this seemingly endless sea of sand.
There seemed to be lush greenery around it, making me think it really was the oasis we were looking for.
As for how far away it was, it was probably 10 kilometers away.
Alright, lets go toward there.
I said so and then made the park fly toward that point.
Like that, what we thought to be the oasis grew larger and larger in our vision.
Until eventually, we saw a lake that was about a hundred meters wide.
A closer look also revealed a few huts as well as fields in the area. Moreover, a simple wall made from what seemed to be hardened sand was erected in the surroundings.
This is a hidden oasis, not found in any map. Because this place is managed by the royal family, a little food and weapons are stored here for use in emergencies. Naturally, our enemies should not have any knowledge of this place.
We could also see some people below. They were probably the queens allies that got separated from her group and somehow made it here ahead of them.
Likely because of the surprise brought about by the incoming flying park though, they looked up with their jaws dropped.
Im going to land the park by the side now.
I said so as I tried to land the park next to the sand wall.
Understandably, the people in the oasis armed themselves, but Queen Maribel rushed down and addressed them.
Heyyy! Its me!
Your Majesty!?
Upon seeing Queen Maribel as she waved her hand, they were baffled and shocked.
Are you unharmed, Your Majesty!?
A middle-aged yet brawny man knelt in front of her while tears threatened to run down his cheeks.
Yeah, Ganzasu. And right back at you. At your age, I thought youd have surely dropped dead from making a journey like that.
Hahaha! I might have grown old, but I wont kick the bucket from something as simple like that! Especially while our beloved homeland is under the control of those vile traitors!
Mhm, youre as reassuring as always.
The man declared so as he pounded his chest with a strong blow.
To which, Queen Maribel nodded, assured.
Not that Im complaining, Your Majesty, but you look so lively, as though you havent gone on a grueling journey at all.
it might not seem like that, but a lot of things have happened. Its a miracle weve made it here at all.
Is that so? Then, the desert gods must have listened to our prayers and gave us this miracle. by the way, Your Majesty, it seemed to me like you arrived here riding a floating piece of landno, thats impossible, isnt itmhm-mhm, it seems Im a bit tired already
