Chapter 510
The Magic Guide train went through the plateau and into the mountainous area.
The pa.s.sengers seemed to enjoy the sight of the green mountains hiding out every time they pa.s.sed through the tunnel.
"You"re as fast as the train you took in Chicu"
"Right. Awesome."
Exchange such conversations with Yumina, who sits next to her. I"m surprised the Doctor said that the magic trains of ancient magic civilizations were faster than this. Does that mean something like the s.h.i.+nkansen was running?
"Ah, Flying Dragon" Wyburn "is flying"
Turning his gaze out the window to Lynne"s words, two flying dragons "Wyburn" did fly over the sky.
"Mm, they"re coming this way."
The Duke of Ortrinde raised an alarmed voice as he looked up through the window.
You probably thought you were a rare prey to the Magic Train, with your leg claws open and the two flying dragons descending straight this way.
But when they come from the train to a position a few meters away, the Fei Dragons suddenly lose their balance, as if they had been bounced off by an invisible force.
"Gaoah!?
Apparently, the Flying Dragon has suffered considerable damage and falls to the ground. The two flying dragons that fell to the ground do not move slowly.
Leaving those two behind, the Magic Train that put us on runs through nothing.
"This train, which is travelling at a constant speed, has a field of protection and will not accept warcraft or demonic attacks. If you try to force yourself to touch it, you will be bounced off like that and you will be shocked by [paralysis]. Warcraft isn"t stupid either, so you won"t be able to stop by again and again."
"I see. That"s rea.s.suring."
Whatever the warcraft on earth is, the warcraft in the sky is a ha.s.sle. I could kill him, but I"d have trouble with all the bodies around the tracks. It is easier to paralyze and learn in [Paralysis] to make it clear that "I shouldn"t have my hands on it".
Well, there"s a chance that a fallen flying dragon will be attacked by another warcraft... That"s the world of the weak and the strong.
"Well, later, the new demon train will incorporate a system for interception. The Golem train will be here in a few years to make it safer…"
"Later? Years later?
The Duke of Ortrinde looks strange on c.o.o.n"s twinkle. Ed, my brother, Su hastily pulled his father"s sleeve when he was abandoning you.
"Father, Ed"s going to get sloppy. Even if he was replacing me!
"Mm? Ooh. Which one? Oh, okay, okay. It"s okay, Fei Long is gone."
The Duke of Ortrinde will sit next to Mr. Ellen as he gives up on you, Ed. Behind that, Su caught Kuhn and was grinding his temples with both hands.
c.o.o.n says here, "Help me, Father!" I had no choice but to go in and arbitrate.
"We"re not the only ones, so be careful what you say."
"Accidentally...... I"ll be careful."
c.o.o.n replied powerlessly as he held down his temples.
The kids and Su are close in age. Because the older Frey and I are only three different things. Four in the coun. For this reason, there is often such an unhesitant exchange as earlier.
Su seems to be tempted to tease the other children because they haven"t arrived yet.
Through the mountains, this time we began to see a large forest. As trains rush through the elevations set in the top of the forest, surprised birds plunge into the sky at the same time.
White, black, red, blue, green and birds of various colors scatter to the people.
"Wow! That"s amazing, O.K.!
"Yeah. Amazing, Lynne"
"Ah, Mother. That"s a cherry bird."
"What, which one?
Linze, Lynne, Else and Elna"s mother and daughter are peeking at the same window, looking at the flying bird and smiling.... I guess it"s a kellowbird.
"Winter Night Hall, which area is it now?
I"ve been asking for a while now. I"ll try to aerial project the map from my smartphone in octave. It"s still in Belfast. There is still a distance between here and the northern Leaf Lease domestic.
"It"s time to get to the first station."
"Paramese territorial capital, Parameia, isn"t it? This is the land ruled by Count Parames. It is a natural and rich territory with plateaux, deep forests and agricultural zones. It"s also famous as a summer shelter."
That"s how Yumina explained it to me. Summer shelter? I wonder if it"s like Karuizawa in j.a.pan.
The Magic Guide train slows down while entering the territorial capital of Parameia.
Gradually, outside the window, the houses become visible as pompous, eventually running all over town. Yeah. The central part is as developed as the w.a.n.g capital. Sounds urban, but is the summer shelter a suburb?
The Magic Train stops about enough here. The abbreviation is that the Lord Count Parames will come out to the station to say h.e.l.lo. The Duke of Ortrinde, the king"s brother, is also aboard, naturally?
It"s hard for His Excellency the Duke to go out of his way to have to get greeted.
"What are you talking about? Though you must be king too."
"Oh well. I have to go down, too."
Leanne told me I was a king, and I remembered that I was a king. The car was full of wives and kids, so I felt like a family vacation. This is official business, this is official business.
A slower, slower speed Magic Guide train stops at the home of Parameia Station. Releasing the ether that had acc.u.mulated at the same time into the atmosphere, sparkling matter was scattered throughout the home as if it were steam.
Psst, the train stands completely still, along with the sound of air coming out.
"Which. Then go, Winter Night Hall. No, Your Majesty."
"Ha... Is this helpful too?"
"Come on in."
A voice of encouragement flew in from Frey as he took his seat with the Duke of Ortrinde. Yeah, Dad, I"ll do my best.
"Welcome to Parameia, Your Majesty King Brunhild, Duke of Ortrinde"
When we got off the Magic Train, a gentleman of the right width greeted us. Is this the Earl of Parames? That"s the face I"ve seen at a night club in Belfast. Was it this man"s territory?
"Sorry to bother you for a short stay, Count."
"No. Can you not look at one of the biggest businesses in the country? This train will also allow my Parameia to call a lot of tourists from Leaf Lease. Thank goodness."
Nico and Count Parames nod. I do get there in a few hours by taking the Magic Conductor train from Leaf Lease to Parameia. You can take a day trip to the city where you had to be rocked for a few days by carriage. Eventually tourists will come too.
Another track of the same kind extends along the tracks of the Magic Train that we have been on.
As you can see, it is a track from Leaf Lease to Belfast.
At the same time on this day, another Magic Guide train is leaving, just as it was from Leaf Lease.
Count Parames must also welcome trains from the leaflet, which will come in the last few hours. No, that"s tough...
Some pa.s.sengers get off the train and vice versa get in from Parameia.
The public customers gathered at this opening ceremony are also on board. Unlike the VIP vehicles in which the n.o.bles ride, of course.
The destination of the ticket won in the public offering is determined from which station to which, and the shortest is the end of this paramaia. Of course the ticket you hit is round trip, so you can take the train from Leafleash back to King"s Capital.
"Whoa, we don"t even have time. This is a a.s.sortment of specialties from our territory. If you don"t mind."
"Oh, I"m sorry about this on purpose"
Store the boxes handed over by Count Parames in [storage]. I didn"t know you could even get a souvenir. No, is it a publicity sample? Certainly this is effective.
"Lunchbox. How about lunch for the trip? We also have drinks."
"Huh?"
Turning to that voice, a lunchbox sale with a standing box of lunches, stringed from the neck like a drawing board, was selling lunches through a train window.
Are you even selling lunches? Or indeed, like I told such a proposal before His Majesty King Belfast and His Majesty King Leafleath... I didn"t know you"d really take it in.
Out of rarity or through the windows of pa.s.senger cars, many customers receive lunches. I bought it while I could because there are no in-car sales, but this may be the case.
"Lord Lou, I want you to take your lunch too!
"Mother Lou, I like that chicken cutlet sandwich over there!
"Mother! Give me the money! Oh, that"s the guy! I"ll have your lunch too!
"Please wait a minute! Why do I have to do it all!?
Noisy voices can also be heard through the window of the first car. The voice of those who are mainly faithful to their appet.i.te.
Could you possibly buy them all for me? Yae and Frey will eat for a few, so more than twenty...?
Or if you were hungry, there would be as much food in [storage]. Does the station valve mean something else?
"Is it time to leave? Now excuse me, Count."
"Thank you for the souvenir. See you later."
Have a good trip.
The Duke of Oltrinde and I returned to the pa.s.senger car again.
Pirilli, a whistle sounds on the platform and the door is closed. Leaving behind the remnants of the ether, the magic guide train slowly runs out again.
Waving back through the window to those who waved at home, we left Parameia Station.
When I got back to my seat everyone had already opened their lunches at the central table and pounded their tongues. That"s fast!
"Yes, it"s Winter Night"s."
"Oh, yeah. Thanks, Yumina."
Receive lunch from Yumina. When I opened the box made of thick paper, it contained something like a burger with meat and vegetables sandwiched in the bread.
Everyone else was like sandwiches and hot docks. I wonder if bread culture makes lunch boxes like this.
When you hit the hamburger you get, the taste of juicy vegetables such as soft meat and tomatoes spreads all over your mouth.
Bird meat, I guess, this. I don"t know what kind of bird it is. Chicken burger. No, I don"t know if it"s chicken.
Well, if it tastes good, it"s justice. Yeah, it"s handsome.
"Father, give me that fruit."
"Is this it? Fine, look."
In the corner seat, Alice was getting something like a candlestick from Ende. He"s like a guard in this vehicle today.
Although, I wouldn"t say anything wild about working with Alice during dinner. I think it"s natural to have a meal break or so. We"re not a black company.
"Come on, it"s a bridge!
"Mmm. Wow."
Yosino screams with one hand the sandwich. Peeping through the window, the elevated tracks continued as they crossed the small lake. Did you break through without detouring?
Soil magic wouldn"t have been hard to make, but I don"t know how much time and money it would take to make this normally on Earth. There"s something about civil engineering that"s better in different worlds. Magic varies.
Yumina asks me as she looks at the bridge.
"They also make Mismid tracks from Belfast, right?
"Yeah. In the meantime, I"ve been building bridges in Gau"s Great River. I guess it will open in a few months. Belfast and Leggles will be open, and Ferzen and Lestia will be connected. I think the nations of the World Alliance will soon be almost connected."
Some things are difficult. With the demonic kingdom Zenoas or the kingdom of Nokia? Because there is the Euron region.
There are no problems between Zenoas and Nokia, but when we try to stretch the tracks to other countries, we really have to go through the territory of the former Euron.
Well, the kingdom of the heavenly empire EURON has already collapsed, and it doesn"t matter if we hit the tracks, but the people of EURON still live there, and they"ll think the land is their own.
If other countries build tracks or something there, they"ll buy the objection, and it"s visible that it"s going to be a ha.s.sle. No country would want to pull tracks or anything like that.
Worst of all, I"m wondering if I could run over the ocean like I bridged the Four Kingdoms of Lestia, Roadmea, Lyle and Ferzen.
"Airs.h.i.+p technology is flowing from the western continent, and I have a hand in using it."
"But the train is still far more hauling. The airs.h.i.+p depends on the weather."
Certainly. This time we are pulling only pa.s.senger cars, but eventually we will also pull freight vehicles carrying supplies. It is not comparable to the amount carried by an airs.h.i.+p.
If distribution develops more, people"s lives will be easier. It"s a magic train for that.
"Can we have a station in Brunhild, too?
"If I could, I guess the Belfast to Leggles route. I think it"s going to be just around the middle of the capital from w.a.n.g Du."
"You"ve got a lot of tourists coming"
I don"t have a lot of trouble getting here. Honestly, the King"s Capital of Brunhild (?) is about the size of a slightly larger town. Even if a lot of tourists come there, there"s not enough accommodation.
There will be manpower for immigration checks to keep weird people out of it.
"But is there anything we can do to sightsee?
Um, and I arm and twist my neck.
Beautiful sea and white-walled streets in the Imperial Capital of Reef Lease, and White Castle on the back of Lake Pallet Falls in the King"s Capital of Belfast, but our attractions are...
"There"s a clock tower, isn"t there?
"The clock tower. Well, is it a attraction when it comes to attractions...?
"And then... frame gear or something?
"Is that a attraction... or...?
It"s subtle. Although I do not have frame gear in other countries.
I wondered what it would be like to make a robot a attraction, but there are places in j.a.pan that have made the physical size of robot animation, and are there?
Generally speaking of attractions, landmarks like Tokyo Tower and Sky Tree, Temple Buddha"s Palace, historical monuments, large amus.e.m.e.nt parks, etc...
Amus.e.m.e.nt parks are currently under construction in Brunhild. I think if we can do this, we can push the tourists too.
Oh, there was a dungeon island. I forgot because there was no sense of attraction.
Until now, only adventurers from the neighborhood have come, but from now on adventurers from afar may also come on the train. Although I may not be able to come with the wheelchair because the fare will be quite high.
There"s still an urgent need to build more accommodation. Do you want to make "Silver Moon" Brunhild III?
At any rate, we"re understaffed. It"s time for the Knights to recruit again.
"Speaking of which... Kuhn said that in the future a knight" Night "Golem is deployed... Sounds like a lower organization of the Knights, but I wonder if I can handle it without recruiting that far..."
"Heh heh, it"s all about work even when you"re on a journey. Shouldn"t we forget a little?
"I don"t want to..."
Yumina tells me to sigh one thing. This little trip is part of my job. Well, I"m enjoying it a lot.
◇ ◇ ◇
─ ─ ─ Meanwhile, in those days. Near the border between the Elphrau Kingdom and the Regulus Empire.
"Look, it"s the Leggles Empire from here"
That"s what the fellow pa.s.senger tells you, pointing to a standing sign pointing down the road along the border.
A few days to be rocked by a boarding carriage from the Elphrau kingdom, the boy finally stepped into the Leggles Empire.
"You"re finally free from the cold."
Hope Mochizuki Kuyuan k.u.mon, six years old. It is on its way home to Brunhild (though in different times).
I"m in Leggles, and I"m already out of freezing cold. Still north of Leggles, cold is cold, so Kuyuan was still wearing the black coat I bought at Elphrau.
"Oh, I found it"
"Again? Your husband, stop it. Bowes found it again."
The man who was in the van of the front carriage calls out to you. Faster than the man of your man stopped the horse, Kuyuan jumped off the carriage, set the bow in his hand against the forest, and quickly let go of the arrow.
"Ghueh!?
I heard a short squeal, and dsuch, and the sound of heavy things falling from the woods. Eventually Kurumen, divided into the woods, emerges as he draws a large deer pierced by arrows through his brain.
"Whoa, Leggles, isn"t that an ogre? It"s delicious."
One of the men gets out of the carriage with a knife. Other pa.s.sengers also stepped out of the carriage to see the deer that Kurumi had defeated.
"Can you dismantle it, please?
"Whoa, I got it. Instead, let me buy him out."
The man dismantles the deer with a hand he"s used to. This man, the Lord of the Butcher, says he is returning from the dowry of his daughter.
Basically, a carriage journey is a meal. Dry meat and other portable foods, or the prey caught on the spot, is all we can do. It"s not as easy to find prey as it should be on a journey, but the pa.s.sengers in this carriage have been preying on it every day for the past few days.
The reason for this was this strange boy. Find your prey nearby, and you"ll be sure to stop. Whether you"re in the shadow of the woods or on a tree, no matter how you look at it, you knock it down lightly with a cheap bow.
Thanks to this, pa.s.sengers are able to eat a luxurious meal, albeit empty of the journey.
"Thanks to Bowes, I won"t be having any trouble purchasing for a while. Thanks."
"No, I appreciate more roadblocks, too."
Kuyuan thought that just the money that actually sold Orihalcon"s Cufflinks wouldn"t get us to Brunhild where we worked so hard. But I can manage to get to Gallaria, the Empire capital of the Leggles Empire. There are a lot of roadblocks. I"ve never done it before.
The riding carriage carrying the demolished prey proceeded south through the Leggles Empire and arrived in the town of Johnst. It is the end of the boarding carriage from the kingdom of Elfrau, where the boy has been riding.
The town of Johnst is not big or small, it is a normal town at all. Located near the border with the kingdom of Elphrau, it is one of the towns ruled by the border uncle of Legles.
The boy, who got off to such a peripheral town, immediately decided to look for a carriage to his next destination. I would prefer a carriage headed straight to the Imperial City if possible.
He sighed one sigh when he checked the schedule he was sticking out in front of the boarding station.
"Uh...... You just got out..."
Bad timing, the station carriage to Teito had just left earlier. The next flight is in two days.
"I don"t know what to do. I don"t care if I get to the next town, I think I"ll have another carriage..."
The time is going around a lot this afternoon. Dusk is no longer near. From now on, it"s definitely Nojuku on the way. Kuyuan wanted to stay in a decent inn today or so tomorrow because I"ve been in the wild for the past few days rocked by a carriage.
"Okay, I"ve made up my mind. Let"s stay at the inn."
When he made that decision, Kuyuan rebacked his backpack and started walking in town.
Even if it"s a little expensive, I"d like to stay in a good inn if possible. There"s a lot of trouble with the end-of-place inn, like the food adventurers staying. Trouble can only be avoided.
When that happens, I like the kind of accommodation that regular merchants make their accommodation. Kuyuan, who thought of it that way, was seen getting off at the boarding station, however, after a person named Merchant.
Eventually, when plugged into the corner of the street not so far from the station, the merchant entered the inn where it was.
"[Silver Little Wing Pavilion]"
I look up at the sign with the silver feathers on it and I can be alone for a long time. It"s quite a stylish store, but it doesn"t feel like a luxury store. Sounds like a "hit," Kuyuan strokes his chest down.
Well, this is where we come from. Kuyuan got his breath ready, opened the swing door and went inside alone.
"Welcome, welcome to [Xiao Yu Pavilion of Silver]. Oh, boy or one?
There is one woman in her early twenties at the reception counter. A man who would be an innkeeper and an earlier merchant could be seen going up the stairs beside him.
"I"d like to ask you to stay two nights in the room, are you available?
"Huh? You know, me. I"m not alone here..."
Kueyuan turns his gaze to the troubled looking female clerk. Long distant right eye changes to purple golden color and purple gold eyes shoot through the female clerk"s eyes.
"... Oh, oh? Oh, excuse me. Uh, I"m free. Are you sure you want to use the"... "department"... "shop"... "?
The female clerk sees a man in his thirties or so who stood behind the boy at some point and does his job with surprise.
"Yes. So please"
"Then it will be two silver coins in two nights. Sign here."
Kurumi signs the lodging book with Sarah. The female clerk, who thought the signature was exactly what the man behind the thought of as the father would do, was a little surprised, but didn"t show it on his face.
"I"ll show you to your room."
Guided by a female clerk, Kuyuan is taken to the upstairs room. It was a simple but interesting room with a desk and chair in two beds and a demonic stone lamp in the closet.
"The meal is morning, noon and evening, in the dining room downstairs. Please leave your keys at the counter when you go out."
"Okay. Thank you."
The female clerk shut the door quietly when she heard the boy"s words of thanks.
"... that father, you didn"t say a word. Is it silent?
Crus.h.i.+ng those words, the female clerk left the room twisting her neck and walking down the stairs.
In that room, one exhaled in relief, and a weakened Kurumi nearly dived into bed.
"Oh, dull...... I can"t believe I can"t even stay in an inn by myself. But I don"t like end-of-place inns..."
It"s not that tough if it"s just a bareback inn, so maybe even kids can stay.
This is how I stayed when I stayed at the Inn, from the kingdom of Elphrau to this point in the long run.
I used [Magic Eye of Illusion]. It is one of the seven demonic eyes of a long time, capable of showing illusions to the other.
I can"t talk about illusions because they only show illusions. So I was asked to play the presence of a silent father.
You may want to make yourself look like an adult without having to do such a ha.s.sle, but that leaves your voice a young, long time away, and you"re not tall enough to hold one pen, and a lot of it comes out.
In the end, this is the easiest way. I have to pay for the two of us, so it costs me money.
"Uh, it"s been a long time since I"ve had a futon..."
I guess I just dried it up and took it in. As he dived into the futon, which smelled like the sun, Kuyuan fell into the Sleepy "Morumi".
