Chapter 50 - 050: Convoy (filler, I recommend to skip it)

A month after the celebration of the successful expedition slaying the white whale, a large convoy of dragon carriage carrying people and goodies made a long of the trail. the one who leads this convoy is a luxurious carriage with Crusch and Anastasia inside.

There are more than thousands of people in this convoy, and that's didn't include the soldiers who guard the convoy against the unexpected situation.

"You didn't know how the city he builds it look like?"

"There is strong magic that can confuse my people so I also didn't know it, and all of the items he requested is what we bring now" Anastasia replied Crusch and shrugged her shoulders. Arthur list is full of something like a daily necessity for people, and Anastasia has a doubt he wants all of this item for the people in the convoy who will be his citizens.

"If he really keeps it as a secret then, there will be a special thing waiting for us there"

"You seems very trust him"

"You will see how bright someone soul when they're on the battlefield, he is very bright and nearly blinding"

"I still can't believe, Emilia is the weakest faction in this election because all of the people know Roswaal is irresponsible supporters. But with his presence all of it was changed, his personal strength is unquestionable but he is also contract a lot of spirits that didn't look like weak either"

"I have an experience fighting side by side with Lise and Ludwig, what I can say is their perfect pair in combat or other things. Ludwig skill with earth magic is very high but his observation of the battlefield is superb, attacking, support, defense. He can do it perfectly, and Kise. How can I say it... running around as much as she wants? She just uses her battle instinct as a guide and moves along with it, but with Ludwig act as her cover she didn't need to worry about counterattack from the foe or there is no path for her because that will be settled by Ludwig. It's very fortunes to have them on our side when we killed the white whale"

"I also heard it from Ricardo, so the man with a doll is illusion master, Ludwig is earth magician and Kise is ... berserker? Well there are still other spirits that we didn't know what ability they had"

"If the city is really complete, then Arthur would be a real Marquis with the territory and didn't just marquis in name only"

With Karsten household influence there is a large number of people who willing to migrate from slum area in the Capital City of Lugunica to the new city under the protection of new marquis who is currently become a hot topic in the capital because of his achievements in the expedition against the white whale and his power to slain the sin of archbishop of the witch-cult.

with the credibility of Karsten household, all they need to do is believe in the news they get and board the carriage because all of the expense is pay by Arthur.

"Well, that's not a problem for me. Our business using his idea is blooming everywhere"

Like what Anastasia said, business is very good and make the two of them get not a small sum of money. This also needs a lot of production line, so people who didn't have a job can apply there and work with good salary as long as they pass the test.

Now in the capital, there are three factions that stood out the most from the five candidates, Crusch factions, Anastasia factions, and Emilia factions.

As a family with a long history and loyal to the kingdom this is inevitable she will become the highest chance become a queen, add with her recently achievements slain the white whale it boosts her popularity more than before.

Anastasia, many people believe the kingdom will prosper under her lead like how she brings herself from the very bottom to the highest position she currently holds.

Emilia, even if many people despise the half-elf with silver hair they can't deny her former knight, or the new Marquis of Lugunica kingdom is a promising person in term of battle power and vision.

"This is not a problem if her factions become strong or not, because when I become queen he will be a great helper for me" Crusch smile confidently

"Even if you are very confident I was not a weakling you know" Anastasia replied with a smile on her face.

They chat about various topics and the scenery outside is change.

From afar people can see a row of the towering tree with a gap of around five hundred meters from each other. Every tree have a big branch lush with green leaves swaying back and forth following the wind, each of this tree has the size like Flugel tree in the Liphas Highway.

Many people amaze with all of this because there are not just one or two trees, but there is many such a tree here and they can't see how much there are from here.

"We will crossing the border to my lord city's, this tree is the mark of my lord's territory"

Charles's voice is heard from the outside of Crusch and Anastasia carriage, the one who drives it was not Wilhelm but Charles because he is more familiar with the road to the city rather than Wilhelm.

"How can he plant all of this tree within the short amount of time?" Crusch was the one who shocks the most because she knows there is no such a tree like that in this area before.

"And, that's not an ordinary tree. I have a feeling they're alive... no... have a soul is more accurate to said it" Anastasia focus her attention to the tree and said it with uncertainty in her voice

"I can't say what special about this tree, and I also can't say how we plant or acquired this tree. But I think you must look to the ground outside of the carriage"

Following Charles suggestion, Crusch and Anastasia look carefully outside of the carriage.

The road itself fifty meters wide and at the left and right of the road row of the tree stood there with lush green leaves blocking the sunlight and look comfortable for someone rest under the tree shadow.

At the bottom of the tree different type and colors of flowers is blooming, and the ground is covered by a green grass that looks like have an even height and size.

This place is just barren land for countless years and now it's changed to become grasslands with green colors everywhere.

The tree just growth beside the road, so when people walk passed the tree they can see a green grassland as far as they can see.

"We can reach My Lords City half an hour again"

Charles' voice is heard again from outside before Crusch and Anastasia ask him about it.

Half an hour pass

From afar people can see the grandeur of the city.

The highest place is a hill occupied by a castle surround by seven great trees in semi-circle position in the back of the castle.

"Welcome to my city, Crusch, Anastasia"

Arthur stood under the city gate with a white tiger behind him that have height as tall as Arthur.
