"That's a pretty fine city..."

We admire the arrival of Ignistra, the capital of the Kingdom of Grant Thor, the Thunderflame.

Unbelievable streets stretched beyond the walled gates, more than 7 metres high. The most eye-catching is the thick cylinder (pillar) installed at equal intervals. There are more than a hundred cylinders lined up in the city, at the top of which lies the small temple of White Asia. And what a hollow, loosely anchored boat.

"The boat is flying..."

As Mr. Lily looks over her head, she gazes at the boat that travels between the small temple and the small temple in the air. I keep a close eye on my surroundings while they catch me.

The fusion of the city and the temple, but should I say, the inhabitants' living quarters also see an old group of stone architecture, with boats moving over them, illusory that the entire city is like a ruin that has sunk under the water.

"I wonder what part of this... sounds like thunder."

"Quick story, don't be so tight when you say underwater city."

Of course it can't be underwater here, but as my best friends point out, there's no such thing as lightning and flaming elements.

"Anyway, where am I supposed to go to get my quest for the Grantor Inheritance War?

"There it is."

My question, Yuki pointed to the small temple on the cylinder.

◇

The cylinder (pillar) itself had a towering structure on its way to the small temple, and it was only a short walk up the stairs as it went inside.

From there, they asked the guard-like NPC, who manages the berthed boat, to hang on and take over to the castle, which is visible in the city centre.

"Besides us, there are other mercenaries (players) using the boat."

"Are you saying that there are also many mercenaries (players) who surprisingly attach to the Princess Ignitol family side?

At the moment, mercenaries (players) who are ordering quests from rebels led by Count Hardy and Marquis Granze will receive a total attack from the guard NPC if they break into the capital neighborhood.

By the way, whether you knock it down or not, the guards are going to lipop infinitely from the stuffing.

In other words, it is likely that currently only mercenaries (players) who are not hostile to the Princess Ignitore family can be in this town.

"Maybe he's just in this town, huh?

Of course, there's a line to sightseeing.

"The Princess or the Rebels, they just can't decide which one to order the Queer from."

With such speculation, two people board one boat at a time. Apparently, there's a weight limit. In total, four ships were to enjoy boarding in the city by air.

At the tip of the boat, NPC, who bought me a guide and got out, rowed the oar and proceeded... I was very curious about what principle the boat was floating on.

"How is this ship floating?

Ask the rower NPC to give it a try and they will reply with no special confidentiality.

"The magic of electricity is stretched between the cylinder (pillar) and the cylinder (pillar). Although invisible, we call this junction the 'Sea of Electronics'. We don't just use material that easily rebels against its magical properties on boats and oars."

I see...... could you use the properties like the N and S poles of magnets to achieve such a flying boat?

Sounds like some sort of alchemy tip.

"That's amazing"

"Whoops. Mercenaries, if you're surprised at a gondola like this, you'll lose your hips the day you see the 'Iron Throne' that the Royal Ignitol boasts..."

"" The Throne of Steel "?

When interested in the story of a rower, the old man speaks to the sky with an awe-inspiring glance, like worshipping something.

"When I was younger, I used to see it in battle... and it was a stormy ship that sent down flaming thunder into enemy forces like heavy rain..."

"The Throne of Steel" seems to be quite sturdy on a giant steel battleship. Moreover, it is a substitute that does not require an 'Electronic Sea' and can fly anywhere, and it is a hell of a weapon that the kings and knights unilaterally fire the magic of flames and thunder from above enemy forces when the previous kings led it.

"If the royal castle falls, the country will end. Then reign in the sky with the mightiest royal castle that will crush your mighty enemies, and destroy your enemies. If it's enough to protect you, attack. A battleship that combines defensive unity, led by a king who has spoken so loudly, is in this land… the" Iron Throne "that reigns in the sky of this land."

"The people of Ignithol rejoiced in victory when they looked up at the big black ship, and they often cheered," and the rowers' eyes, remembering the distant past, had a strong vision for the king.

I see, a big ship that drops flames and thunder. That is the symbol of the Royal Ignitol, a people who have the most opportunity to look up to it. Is that why this capital is called Ignistra, the Gu capital?

"The previous kings were able to use the" Iron Throne "... but not the modern princess..."

The rower, who said so and rounded his back slightly, closed the boat with a sigh of 'Here we go, mercenary'.

It was me who was heartily excited to see the rumored "Throne of Steel", but it was in front of a regular castle gate that I arrived.

There are about eight tenacious gatekeepers lined up to greet us at our berth with weapons.

"Welcome, mercenary lord. I would like you to state the purpose of this visit"

"To join the war of inheritance, I came up."

As a delegate, Evening Fai answered his mouth, and the gate soldiers nodded with a stern face.

"Thank you for your help in this rebel crackdown."

"Give the traitor the flaming spear of death!" "Give the infidel the thunderblade of death!

Morale in the castle seems to be quite high from the looks of the gate soldiers who simultaneously sound weapons and protective gear and scream at each other for ordinances.

"I will now guide you as the jurisdiction of the mercenary forces is contracted by Count Reinhardt"

The captain-like NPC prompted me into the castle, but the captain-like stopped staring at me.

"Long silver hair by the moon, the appearance of a toddler by an angel... the princess's life was preserved..."

He shrugged, and the captainship that turned out to be his ideological face slowly approached me and asked me questions.

"Oh no, do you know His Highness the Princess?

I affirm that Mamor-kun and Junya-kun and I had a little familiarity when we made an escort quest for Miss Ignitol up to Pawn St.

"Hey, dude?

"So, if there is, I want you to show me the proof"

Testimony...... testimony.

Oh, speaking of which, you had the gear you got for clearing the escort quest. It's an expensive redemption gear, the Flame Saint (Ignis) dagger, which has a value of 40,000 eso when trying to sell it in NPC stores, although it has low performance.

Showing that to the captain, he instantly poked one knee and drooled his head.

"Were you still the benefactor of His Highness the Princess! I would like to thank you deeply on behalf of my country!

In gratitude of the abrupt captain, the surrounding gate soldiers simultaneously bow their heads.

It was only natural to be surprised within our PT that we received such a hot welcome.

"What? Talo, did you do something?

"Maybe Tallo is a great lady?

"I can't believe you're selling me a favor at some point."

"Hara, that's Mr. Taro."

"I don't know, I'm a Heavenly Man."

Shaking Night and Evening Fai weren't surprised because they knew the circumstances, but I was concerned that they were shrugging their shoulders just a little bit.

"Protect His Highness's allies! Let me show you to Her Highness."

Ten or so escorts are immediately gathered from the barracks to guide us through the castle in a way that pinches us.

Occasionally, different mercenaries (players) open their eyes and observe this, but they don't want to be pressured or approached by the pressure of the escorts.

"Talo... you know the princess of the country..."

"And I can't believe I'm seeing a princess on a facepath... Tallo, who"

To Yuichi and Sizku's little question, "Talo is Talo," and "Our alchemist, you know," my best friends answer in a mild tone.

Then they laughed at me when I said, 'It's not normal for you to be a normal person.'
