Episode 593. Give me my boat (2)

“I know that strange winds have been blowing among the high-ranking nobles of the Kingdom of Felsen lately. With Duke Hummel at the forefront.”

“The Viscount must have come too?”

“Of course I came. Of course, I took care of things.”

Are you still willing to help me?

“Are you going to help anyway?”

“The world will not know who I received what from. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.”

“... ... Pretty bold.”

What I mean is that you just have to wipe your mouth.

He was talking quite absurd, but he burst out laughing and then straightened up.

“And I don’t think it would benefit us if they won.”

“You want us to take care and win the victory?”

“Even if the Kingdom of Ernesia loses, there will be nothing to lose after that.”

He is thinking of walking a tightrope.

The Felsen kingdom's current actions are also questionable, so it is to help me in case of an emergency.

Even after the kingdom was defeated, I thought that if I did that, I would take good care of the situation.

“Or are you offended?”

“No, actually, I quite like someone like the Viscount.”

These are not empty words.

A wise man is always welcome.

“You're joking too much.”

“Whether it’s a joke or a joke, it doesn’t matter. so? What kind of help would he give us if he summoned it so boldly? Can I look forward to it?”

Well, I can roughly guess the extent to which he can help.

You can't explicitly intervene.

If we succeed, he too will be caught off guard until the situation is settled.

So I won't do anything to get my tail caught.

At best, it'll help us crawl into the port city without a hitch.

“Assistance is only a little bit of guidance.”

Viscount Gernil said so and pointed towards the cave behind him.

“Is that the way the cave will guide you?”

“If you follow this inside, you will be able to get inside the port city.”

“A secret passage... ...

It's quite an anachronistic passage, but considering the time when the port city was built, it's possible.

And even to me, Viscount Gernil isn't telling lies right now.

“Doesn’t anyone else know about that passage?”

“The ones encamped in the city right now are not our soldiers.”

“That means you don’t know.”

Outsiders do not know, and the Viscount also did not share information about this passage 1? U:

? =

“This is all I can do. There was an accident where someone came in and recaptured the boat by a road I did not know. Is it enough?”

“hmm. Well, that's enough.”

It's an assistant in the range that was fully expected, and it's perfect.

If I can go into hiding, then it's up to me.

‘By the way, there are a lot of friends who strangely tell me the byway these days.'

Will my popularity see the light?

Yes, it's something to live honestly and see.

“However, after passing through this passage, I cannot guarantee it.”

I know what he's worried about

You are free to enter, but what will you do after that?

After recapturing the ship? What are you going to do after that?

You ask.

“I know. Recapture is always up to us. I know you don't have to worry about that.”

I expressed my gratitude and confidently declared.

“That much is easy for us.”

It's just like holding a spoon.

It's a problem that it's five thousand-ton spoons, but there's no problem.

If so, I won't stop you. After going through the secret passage that Viscount Gernil gave us, we were finally able to safely enter the port city.

Connected to this passage is a large warehouse in the port.

After opening the secret door blocked by luggage, a welcome salty and rotten fishy smell greets us.

“... ... So Arell? Is it really that simple?”

“... ... It might be simple if you guys work hard.”

In order to move the ship, the wizard's ability is required, but of course the enemy is also prepared.

If you infiltrate by teleport, you will be caught because of the unique mana wave.

Therefore, even if it is cumbersome, the agile mercenaries have no choice but to call the wizards after quietly and quickly occupying the target and securing safety.

“Okay then Dia. Will you move the boat as scheduled?”

“Yes, it is simple.”

There are as many as five ships weighing thousands of tons, but teleportation devices for extra-large mass transport have already been developed, so you can use them.

Because teleport is great.

The iron ship carrying us was able to leave this port safely.

before the scenery changes.

The faces of the soldiers who looked at us like dogs chasing chickens were truly worth seeing.

This boat will take it back again.

Because it was mine from the beginning.

In the first place, there's no law to get on a boat and escape to the sea, right? yes?

The landscape changed to a familiar world of pure white snow.

It is moved to a pre-determined point.

Our current destination is the plains outside the city of Pahilia.

There is enough space to stand a few iron wires.

Aken and other dwarves and technicians are already waiting here.

They immediately went to work inspecting the ship.

“... ... Can't we move to the workshop right away?”

Archen frowned and asked.

As time is running out, you want to hurry as much as possible.

But I did not relinquish the order to look closely.

Because it all needs to be.

“just in case. We moved to the plains in preparation for an accident.”

“It certainly needs to be.”

Aken soon understood.

Blowing it straight into the workshop would be an unwise decision.

Perhaps the kingdom of Felsen or the people behind it did something wrong.

I searched once, but I need to investigate once more.

After checking again to see if there are any hidden spies and any suspicious devices, it will be sent to the workshop only after determining that there is no problem.

“Actually, this was found through a crack in the deck.”

Dia came out quietly and held out something.

It is an object in the shape of an elongated cylinder.

“wow! Is it a bomb?”

It was like a bomb in which the magic formula engraved inside the barrel emitted flames and exploded.

They know what a bomb is.

Seina hated seeing the dangerous goods that Dia brought.

“... ... no. If you put it out calmly, what will you do dangerously?”

“it's okay. It was immediately invalidated upon discovery. At least it won't explode when I have it in my hand.”

As if to prove safety, Dia whirled the bomb in her hand and turned it on top of her hand.

I'm feeling these days, but strangely, the playfulness has increased.

Let Dia blow the bomb up and cancel the nullification spell.

Bang! It exploded.

However, seeing that no sound was heard, it seemed that a silence spell had been applied.

You won't see it in the city.

Dia handles the bomb the same way over and over again.

I was strangely excited more than that.

“... ... Isn't it a pretty fireworks display?”

“If you don't think it's a bomb planted on my ship.”

It was good to look after too.

If I hadn't warned the wizards, including her, in advance, it would have exploded upon recapture.

“Anyway, after you finish your investigation in earnest, move on and start working.”

“... ... Um, do you really intend to use this as a warship?”

Aken, who had been called, cleared his throat and asked again.

I understand you don't like it.

But it is necessary.

“I can't help it. I need it to fight them. you know?”

“It is true. hmm. ok let me do that.”

“How long will the operation take?”

“It won't take long. The necessary things are already prepared... ...
