Episode 311 Ark (1)

“Um… … !”

Riverrun City Hall.

Mayor Troven, the most powerful man in the city-state and a member of the Kyleans council, wandered around the room.

A deep sigh.

There was a hint of nervousness in the way he bit his nails as if he were gnawing them.

“Of course, it was the bloody sword that responded to the emergency summons… … Could it be that you didn’t notice it? Or have you already been caught? Sandorn, what do you think?”

“Haa, you’ve got the chronic anxiety again.”

Sandorn Gusav.

Part of Kylian’s strength, the city’s guardian in charge of the River Run. He twirled the glass of the acidic wine.

“I’ve said it many times. Are you tired of subjugating the bloody black sub-species? In the first place, if you count the days you stayed in the city, it’s not long, and the guild leader is attached to it, so what did you have time to find out? And today, you said you were going to subdue the sub-species, and that you would return in a few days, and you went out to Riverrun. What are you so worried about?”

“… … What if you received a secret order from the adventurers guild headquarters? honestly you can Because it’s that bloody sword and that adventurer’s guild… … ! Can you really guarantee that you won’t be discovered?”

“So you hid it well. What kind of ‘corpse business’ do you do for a day or two? You’ve been doing well for a while, so why are you doing this? No matter how nicknamed a mithril-class adventurer is, he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know. Shut up and drink this.”

He threw the entire bottle of wine on the table.

Mayor Troven, who hesitated and managed to get it, took a deep breath and opened his mouth.

Beep beep.

The bittersweet taste stimulates the tip of the tongue.

The heat of the alcohol contained in it stimulated the stomach and warmed the body.

“Whoa… … .”

beating heart.

His chest rose and fell with heavy breathing.

“Are you calming down now? No, it’s more like a fuck, I didn’t decide, why do you keep fucking on me? yes? Isn’t this an agreement between your mayors?”

“that… … ugh… … !”

The Troven market was hot.

The words that rose to the tip of his throat were suppressed and subsided.

It was never arbitrary.

Something imprinted on his soul reached out and choked him.

It was such a deal.

“What, did you suddenly hear something like that?”

“Oh, no. Anyway, I can’t help the current situation! No matter how much it is a vote, most of them are in favor, but can’t only one or two oppose it? Then what are you going to do!”

“Even if I said that, I kept my pockets full.”

“Kuh, keuhum!”

Mayor Troven cleared his throat.

“And did you hear that a noble came from Estyria this time? Could it be that the kingdom noticed it and fell for it?”

“Ah, delusion of grandeur is enough to be a psychosis, a psychosis! No, it wasn’t an official delegation, it was an honorary aristocrat! He also carries a guy like a knight with him!”

“But you’re an honorary count!”

“What the hell does that matter!”

bang! Sandorn slammed her armrest down.

“Again, what right does the Kingdom have to intervene in the internal affairs of Kylians! It’s a country where a huge underworld called Loapra is proud! If it was worse than us, it was worse, never less. At least we don’t hang bodies in the streets, do we?”

“It is, but… … So can I just leave it alone?”

“Crazy, the mayor now leaves the decision to me. yes, leave it alone! They’re kids that have nothing to do with us. I have nothing to pick up here, and I will be leaving soon!”

“But what if you don’t leave? What if they find out on the way and say they want to take their share too?”

“X-bar, then———”

The city’s guardians have revealed their intent to kill.

“We have to kill the rats and birds without even knowing.”

* * *

It feels like all the nerves in my body are bursting.

A unique sensation that I have never experienced before. As soon as he suppressed his magical energy and lowered his resistance to the maximum, Verden’s entire body was covered with a strong, flickering purple flash.

Concentrate on the senses at the same time.

The scent of the forest has completely disappeared.

Magical power overflows beneath your feet. Verden, who lit up the wall, quietly looked around.

‘… … flying boat?’

Looking at the width of the deck, it is a small size.

It wouldn’t be the end here.

As I tilted my head inwardly, Laira stumbled beside me.

“Oops… … !”

“Layra-sama, are you okay?”

“… … yes I’m okay.”

Teyla supported Leila.

Is it depression caused by space movement?

He also said that he had attended the Ark meeting before, and as a high-ranking adventurer, he must have had some experience with space movement… … .

Perhaps she was ashamed of that, Layra made excuses while shedding Verden.

“… … Spatial movement doesn’t fit constitutionally. Seeing that you’re not doing anything wrong, you seem to be quite familiar with space travel.”

“Well, to some extent.”

It’s not something I’ve encountered once or twice, but above all, it’s a phenomenon caused by magic.

When I crossed the continent for the first time, I felt uncomfortable, but I did not feel any discomfort either in the laboratory of the King of Darkness or now.

by the way.

“This doesn’t look like a meeting room.”

“In the future, we will have to travel several times in space along with flying on this flying boat. Because the destination is protected by a space warp, we can’t reach it all at once. The process is very complex.”

“… … It’s not that complicated.”

You’re actively using spatial magic to hide your location.

Even if it’s the highest magic tower within three fingers, it must be very difficult to maintain it all the time.

It seemed that the deeper they dug, the more difficult it became to gauge the ark’s potential.

“I’m tired, so I’ll rest first.”

“I will see you.”

Teyla and Leila headed for the superstructure.

After seeing the two of them, Verden asked Listener.

“How many days will it take?”

“It takes exactly three days. Since it is a small flying boat, it takes some time to recharge the mana required for space movement. In the meantime, I’ve brought a lot of supplies to consume. The space to stay is also spacious enough not to be uncomfortable. We will guide you right away.”

3 days.

It is neither particularly long nor short.

what are you going to do

Verden was deeply troubled and followed the Listener to the inside of the flying boat.

* * *

Meanwhile, Riverrun.

Left alone, Adrian visited the forge.

“Uh, the guest from before? The promised date hasn’t arrived yet?”

“How far has the production progressed?”

“Ah, yes. Once I collected the sword and finished the mask… … .”

“Take it first.”

I paid the balance and picked up the finished product.

I checked the size with an eye test and put it in the space bag. As he tried to leave again, the blacksmith seized him.

“Do you have anything else urgent to do? If that’s the case, I might be able to make it sooner… … .”

In exchange, costs are added.

Adrian thought for a moment.

It was not his own money, so he counted deeply.

‘If you are the lord… … .’

The answer was obvious.

He told me not to worry about that and he must have allowed it.

“The shortened time.”

“Well, if we stay up all night, we should be able to finish it this morning. So you can come and pick it up tomorrow morning.”

Faster than expected.

“Then do it.”

“thank you! But if possible, some cash… … .”

He nodded and counted the bills correctly and handed them over.

And the next morning, I stopped at the smithy to pack my equipment like a knife and returned to the inn.

Adrian checked the equipment.

Upper and lower garments and belts made by tanning the thin, hard leather of the beast Raxios for days and days. Overall, it was a set of leather armor in a dark color close to black.

Shoes are magic items with high friction, durability, and [light weight] function.

‘Grond… … He said he got it from the safe of the person who said ‘.’

The design isn’t too bad.

Next, he wore gray metal leggings and Vambraces.

The demonic sword, Cedence, was lead into a new black scabbard without any decorations and worn around the waist, and her dark blue long hair was tied with a leather strap so that it would not get in the way.

Finally, he put on a blue robe and a hood, covering the lower part of his face with a metal mask the same color as the leather armor.

Adrian stepped in front of the full-length mirror in the corner.

“It’s okay.”

Overall I quite liked it.

With this, the preparation is complete.

Now it was his turn to carry out his lord’s duties in earnest.

* * *

The days in the flying boat weren’t too bad.

Meals were evident from careful attention.

There was hardly any noise, so it was easy to get a good night’s sleep.

On the second day, I played a card game with Listener, Teyla, and Layra, who had recovered, so it wasn’t particularly suitable.

Just to point out the downside… … The members of the Ark, who are operating flying boats, each time they encountered Verden and Layra felt it was too much to be polite.

‘I think it’s about time.’

It’s time to arrive soon.

Verden, who was lying on the bed, went outside.

Walking on the deck protected by a magic circle, I took a seat at the bow. It was completely covered with clouds on all sides, so I couldn’t see very well.

As I stared at the blurry scenery, Leila approached me from behind.

“I wondered where he went because he wasn’t in the room, and he was here.”

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s not like that, but there is something I want to show you. Originally, the listener introduces it, but I’ll do it for now. therefore… … Now I just have to wait five minutes.”

What are you introducing?

Verden waited in silence without asking.

Let’s look at the front of the two people with their arms raised side by side. Soon, the second hand of Leila’s watch turned five times.

That was the moment.

“… … !”

Suddenly the space was distorted.

Without any harbingers of magical power, without any trace of magic. Before long, the entrance filled with purple light swallowed the flying boat whole. Looking back, the gap had closed and disappeared.

‘It’s not space movement.’

I figured it out at once, but it’s hard to explain this phenomenon in detail.

If you’re looking for something similar… … Could it be said that it is similar to the magic that Princess Silis used to cast?

It felt like stepping into another space.

I turned my gaze forward.

The prevalent clouds are slowly dissipating.

Soon, the tightly blocked field of view opened up and a vast space appeared.

Verden’s pupils gradually widened.

“That… … .”

“I’ll speak on behalf of the Listener.”

Leila pointed forward.

“Welcome to the great ark, ‘Ark.’”

The sky is so dark that the ground cannot be seen.

A huge sky island nestled in the center appeared.

* * *

Theoretically, it is possible to float an island.

It’s like a flying boat.

A power source made by processing a considerable amount of top-level magic stones.

With the magical energy that radiates from its center, it activates a magic circle containing magic that is intricately entangled inside the hull. This magical action causes the ship to take flight.

This principle can be applied to other things as well.

‘But it’s just a possibility.’

In particular, islands are very dense compared to flying boats.

The difference in weight is truly overwhelming. In a word, it is a story that an incomparable point of action and countless magic circles are needed.

And even if you succeed, that’s a problem.

An enormous amount of mana is consumed to float the island.

On the way, it is necessary to recharge mana by pouring magic stones like crazy so that the power source is not exhausted, but overheating will inevitably occur.

The fall of the island is inevitable.

No matter how small it is, if it falls from the sky, it is like a meteorite.

The island will be shattered and the ground will be overturned.

If there is a city nearby, it will disappear from the map in an instant due to shockwaves or earthquakes.

Even in the current age when magic has been most developed in history, it is not enough.

Making the sky a haven has not yet reached the realm of mankind.

‘But how is that possible?’

Verden could not hide his astonishment.

You can see an island in the sky right in front of you.

An area so vast that it is difficult to estimate the size with the naked eye. In addition, several islands floating nearby were connected to him.

All of them are of different sizes, but they cannot be ignored.

The bottom is full of white clouds, and the universe is spread out above.

An unknown island in the sky exists in the center of the landscape where black and white, darkness and light coexist.

A gigantic structure that has never been seen before, perched on its territory.

The surroundings were full of sophisticated buildings that looked like residential areas, and there was also a facility for producing food on one side. And even a powerful security magic circle is spread everywhere.

“this… … Is it possible?”

“Wouldn’t it be possible to say that we are leading mankind only at this level?”

Listener approached with footsteps.

Then, looking at the island in the sky, he spread his arms and said.

“Welcome to the great Ark, Mr. Asher.”

A place separated from the world.

Verden arrived at the base of the ark.

“I said that earlier.”

Leila laughed lightly.
