Chapter 1110: Airship
Chapter 1110: Airship
In the end, I chose to go with the Holy Empire group.
It was the sacred relic that won me over in the end.
It wasn't the value of the sacred relic that won me over, but rather the fact that they were willing to give up something of this value.
This was a clear sign that they were already desperate for me to come with them if they were willing to give up something this precious. So if I were to keep rejecting them, there was no telling what they would have been willing to do.
If I've already come to the decision that I would go to the Holy Empire, pushing them too far wasn't a good idea.
Though there were some people that were unhappy that I came to this decision so quickly, they held their tongues and didn't say anything about this decision.
That was how I set off for the Holy Empire.
In a carriage with the priest, I sat in front of the priest who had a smile on his face.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The way that he looked at me was as if he was happy that I had finally come to my senses and decided to go with him.
There was a part of me that wasn't happy seeing this look on his face, but I didn't say anything about it in the end. I knew that nothing that I said would actually help me in this situation, so I didn't bother addressing it.
Instead, there was something else that I asked, "Where are we going?"
Even though I agreed to go to the Holy Empire, the way that we were heading wasn't in the direction of the Holy Empire.
It seemed like we were going to a completely different place with the direction that we were heading in.
After all, the statement that was written by the priest didn't mention anything about where they were taking me other than the Holy Empire. There was the argument that they could be taking me to another place before taking me to the Holy Empire...
So there was the chance that they could be playing me still.
But it turned out that this was an unnecessary worry.
After all, they wouldn't play such a petty trick.
"I know that it seems like we're going to an unrelated place, but it's where our ride is." The priest said with a smile on his face.
"Ride?" I asked with a brow raised.
The priest just looked at me with the same smile on his face as if he was saying...
"It's a surprise."
I couldn't help shaking my head after seeing this, but I didn't say anything and waited to see what he wanted to show.
Though I was heading to the Holy Empire, it wasn't as if I was going alone.
Klein and the royal guards were escorting me since they were royal guards, it's only natural that they would come along as the royal guards.
After a while, we arrived at the 'ride' that the priest mentioned.
The moment that I saw this ride, I couldn't help being surprised. However, that didn't mean that I didn't recognize this ride.
It was one of the methods of traveling from the game, so of course I recognized it.
It was an airship.
This was one of the methods of traveling in the mid to late game, only because it was so expensive to use an airship like this.
As expected of one of the four human empires, they had the resources of an empire that was certain to be able to take out an airship like this.
As someone with knowledge from the game, I knew how hard it was to create these airships in the first place and what kind of consumption it took to use these airships.
For them to be willing to use one just to bring me to the Holy Empire, it could be seen what kind of value I had in their eyes.
Once we arrived, the priest opened the door and stood outside the carriage. With his hand gesturing forward, he said, "Shall we?"
The way that he stood there was almost as if he was offering me the chance to take a closer look at the airship.
Though I knew what the airship was like, it was a completely different thing seeing it in real life instead of as a CG in a game. This was something that had the smell of a fantasy setting, so it made me a bit excited.
I could also see that Klein and the others were a bit excited seeing this.
Even though they flew regularly on the back of wyverns, it was a completely different thing to be flying on an airship.
They had naturally heard about the airships of the large empires, but to see it in person like this was certainly a different feeling.
It was different from flying on wyverns.
It could be considered safer since it was a proper vessel.
Since the priest was inviting me, I went onto the airship.
It wasn't really that different from a normal ship, other than the large crystal that was at the center of the airship. This large crystal was the reason why creating an airship was that expensive in the first place.
This large crystal was as expected a magic crystal, but to get a magic crystal of this size was rare and it wasn't as magic crystals could be combined together to form a large magic crystal
of this size.
The way that airships worked was that magic was used to generate wind that lifted up the airship and carried it to its destination.
Only a magic crystal of this size was able to support the large amounts of magic that was necessary to lift up an aircraft of this size.
These kinds of magic crystals were rare and hard to find, so they were very expensive.
One could see the power that an empire had just based on the fact that they possessed these magic crystals for airships.
