Chapter 31 – It Still Hasn’t Finished Yet (The Story In This Kingdom)
“After all the things done, if whichever I or King Bernard got assassinated in the height of the ceremony then this festive hype would definitely turn into a tragedy right? So I would like to prolong our escort contract until all off this ceremony over. Of course I will give a handsomely pay and also will give lavish treatment for your daily need while the contract still valid. Well, in truth, the escorting job will be in the time of the ceremony only. I can’t really sneak out to play that much under this circumstance after all”
Renya take a side glance at a big leather bag placed on top of the table in the room where Renya and his party stay. That big leather bag is filled with gold coins to the brim.
“Ah that reward of valor bestowed by King Bernard right? It was a reasonable number you know? You managed to protect royalties’ lives and even put an end to the mastermind after all”
“You are a weird one aren’t you? Having this much is a normal thing you know?”
That’s right, that reward Renya receives from King Bernard is not any normal currency that circulates in the market. It was the Rugartis royal golden coin.
It was a special currency that worth roughly about 100.000 en each coin. And there is exactly fifty royal golden coin filled inside the leather bag.
He suddenly gets 5.000.000 en richer suddenly. That much amount of money seems to be coming from the late duke property. And that amount is still the king being tact with the number. On top of it, when his escorting contract with Gerard finishes, then he will get another payment which seems like won’t be that inferior in term of number. Renya who was born as a commoner of course will have difficulty reacting to it but for all of the royalties without exception, this much is only counted as a ‘modest’ amount.
That amount of money can make him live without working for years if he used it frugally. But that kind of NEET life is not something that Renya wish for so he is at lost on what should he do with that money. And then there is also a problem when using this royal golden coin. He needs to go to the government office to exchange it into the normal currency before he is able to use the money.
He thinks that he should just buy things in a big batch at once with that money, but then again he doesn’t know what exactly he should buy.
After they spent some time chatting, Gerard returns to the castle in disguise. His free time is up. Pained expression floats in Gerard’s face and Renya can only feel pity for him.
Not long after Prince Gerard went home, the other party member that was going out finally returns. Renya wanted to have a talk to them to discuss the matter about what they will be going to do after this.
“I thought so too, and there is a large possibility that the prince will happily try to hire us again in that period of time whether there are any slight dangerous movements that he manages to detect……”
“Umm, We already somewhat become a large party so I think we should have our own home base soon…”
“That’s right Brenda. That is the problem.”
“Then Renya-sama, how about buying a ship specialized for exploration for our home base?”
“I agree desu. The shipbuilding technique has experienced an extreme advancement since a few years back desu. By combining magic technology when building a ship, that ship can run even without any wind desu”
“Okay then so whatever it is, all of you agreed that we should have something that can be our home base and or our transportation method right?”
“Actually I also done some research in the library before and I stumbled into something interesting. Therese, isn’t there a ship that can fly in the sky among the ancient technology you’ve learned?”
“E? is that true? Eventhough multiple ships discovered not even one country managed to operates it?”
“The reason why the research unable to advance in every countries are the same desu. It was the high cost that is impossible even for a country to keep funding desu. The cost easily surpasses a few years worth of national expenses of a large country desu. They can’t go straight research only the important parts and they also can’t find any part that can be adapted into magic technology resulting in each and every country can only wait until they saved up enough funds to start the research desu. Some way they do to raise the fund is by making the ship an attraction and taking fee from people that wants to see it desu”
In myriads of world, cruel reality will always overpower and crush dreams. Renya even get discouraged from the severity but quickly regain himself after a cough. It might be impossible for a mere mortal but who Renya is? He is a god! He can do the thing that a mere mortal found impossible.
“So our next stop is some country that already finished in excavating their flying ship so we can plunder it right?”
Floria then run around saying that she won’t sit in the corner because she is not in the wrong while put her lips out provoking Renya. Renya then responds by chasing her around while trying to admonish her. But rather than getting angry, it seems like the two of them is only joking and having fun by themselves. Does this two silly gods ever have any intention to keep serious in this discussion?
Brenda can only helplessly sigh looking this two frolicking by themselves but her opinion is a harsh one denying Renya’s optimistic easy going answer before. She even had this daring smile floats in her face.
A gulping sound can be heard. Just who is that who made such sound?
“I-I-i-i-i-i-i-is that for real desuka!?”
The concept is somewhat bordering illegal mining but Renya thought that all will be fine if no one knows about it. In this concept, Renya is much less affected by the moral value that appears in such kind of fantasy RPG game.
In short…… any treasure found by the player will be the player possession for good. That was such kind of tacit rule. Renya who got aroused greatly by this kind of other world fantasy adventure romance is already unstoppable.
“Of course you can research it as much as you like Therese. But spreading that technology to the outside world is… well… something that can be done later right?”
Therese is already succumbed to the thought of that flying ship that the party still haven’t see yet.
For Therese, being able to touch something that is untouchable even by the most cutting edge technology available now is her long desired dream so she can’t help become like this. With Renya being all aroused and Therese all hyped up, there is no one in the party that can talk good sense into them.
“”””Yes!””””
(It is good that I managed to find it but…… What should I do if that ship is actually broken beyond what my divine power can fix?)
Author note: A flying vessel in fantasy genre is really an overwhelming item so I have to be careful in dealing with it.
A mobile fort, an airship, unified robot like in voltron.
Things like that have their own charm that will always captive the heart of men regardless of age.
