Chapter 534: Famous Place
The day after we defeated the Modoki.
After leaving the commercial fleet, we were heading northeast. It was a straight route to the Academy of Magic.
『I never thought we’d be involved with the commercial fleet by chance』
「Nn. It was amazing」
「Woof!」
『Me too, I’ve never seen that many ships in one place before』
I looked at Lake Vivian again as we were leaving, and it was still looking big from this distance. Maybe it really was much bigger than Lake Biwa.
Well, I’ve never seen the real Lake Biwa before, so I don’t know what it was really like.
After that, we traveled by flying in the sky while riding on Urushi’s back. Since the Kingdom of Belios was a mountainous country, there were a lot of differences in elevation, and it was fun to see a complete change in the scenery just by going a little further.
「...?」
Fran was staring at the clouds far above.
『What’s wrong?』
「What is that?」
『Huh? Aah, it finally reached here huh!? It’s the floating island』
「Looks strange」
What Fran has discovered was a huge mass of clouds, standing even higher than normal clouds. No, she was probably looking at the shadow of an island floating in the middle of it.
「Floating Island」
「Really?」
『Yeah』
「What is it like?」
『They say it looks like a long snake with a body length of about 200 meters』
Yes. That dragon figure looks like an Eastern-style Dragon, unlike a Western dragon. It has a magic power that far surpasses that of a Western dragon, and if a Western dragon was a warrior type, this dragon was more of a magic and skill type.
Eastern-type Dragon and Western-type Dragon. Their ecology seems to be very different.
『They have golden scales that looks blinding on a sunny day』
「Nn... I can’t see any」
「Woof...」
『Well, they say it’s really rare. But since we can see the island from anywhere in the eastern part of this country, so if we’re lucky, we’ll get to see it』
「Nn」
We proceeded to look up at Heavenly Dragon’s island to see if we could see any dragons. Urushi too was slowing down while looking up, but he sometimes failed to maintain our altitude and Fran almost fell. In the end, we couldn’t see any Heavenly Dragon.
『Ooh, I saw the town』
「So that was the Academy of Magic? It’s so big」
『No, you’re wrong. The Academy of Magic is in the back where the tower is. It’s still big though. What’s in its front is just a town』
It seems that a town has developed around the Academy of Magic. It was also called the Academy Town.
『That’s Lady Blue, the town where the Academy of Magic was built 』
「Blue? It’s not blue though?」
『Lady in Blue. It’s a name that honors the world’s most powerful ocean magic user, the High Elf, Weena Rhyn』
「I see」
