Chapter 219 To The Elven Empire! Part-3.
Rio and others boarded the gigantic spaceship via short-distance teleportation they all had excited looks on their faces while looking at all of the futuristic things inside the spaceship.
(By the way, Jin had to fly and manually enter the spaceship as teleportation circles don't work on SS-rankers...)
"This is the first time I will be traveling on a spaceship... this is quite a rare experience even for me..." (Link)
Even for the super-rich guy Link, it was his first time boarding a spaceship.
All spaceships of the human race are war weapons after all, they aren't used for civilians and thus even if Link was Ashtel's son, it was still difficult for him to get access to a spaceship.
(If he really wanted to ride one, Ashtel would have made it possible anyway...)
Seemingly unfazed by the sights around him, Liam asked Jin in a confused tone:
"Uh, I have been meaning to ask for a while now... why are we even using such a powerful war weapon just to travel... it feels kind of strange..." (Liam)
"Aren't we on good terms with the Elves?" (Liam)
Hearing Liam's question all of the students quietened down as they also wanted to know the answer to that question.
Jin smiled slightly and said in a calm tone:
"Well, its something to do with the face value or you could say the reputation of our race..." (Jin)
There are hundreds of races that are members of the alliance and there are about thirty of them that have SS-rankers.
This means at least thirty races will be sending their SS-rankers to the meeting held in the elven empire's capital city.
"As one of the five strongest races of today's world, we must show enough fighting capabilities to establish our dominance..." (Jin)
No matter the world, all nations and forces try to establish dominance over others to ensure their own safety.
It's a natural phenomenon and there's nothing wrong with using your own strength to scare off the prying eyes of the 'hyenas' that might be hiding in the dark.
"By using this 'Super' class war weapon as a transport vehicle, we are showcasing a slight bit of our military's combat power to other races... this way, we will be able to give a strong impression in front of others..." (Jin)
"We certainly don't have any animosity with the Elfs, but we can't let them underestimate us either..." (Jin)
"It would be a hassle if we get attacked by other races just because they thought that we were weak..." (Jin)
"This is 'geopolitics'..." (Jin)
'Sigh... no matter which world it is... politics is always weird...' (Rio)
...
While Chatting with Jin everyone walked through the spaceship and toured the whole area inside.
"This spaceship is huge! Training grounds, bars, theaters, etc. There are literally every facility here!" (Liam)
"This spaceship can definitely transport at least ten thousand soldiers all at once..." (Link)
As none of the soldiers were stationed in it right now because it was being sent to the meeting of gods, the whole spaceship felt empty and desolate.
'It's like a ghost city... there are many facilities here, but no one to use them...' (Rio)
Hearing the student's excited tone, Jin nodded his head and said in a happy tone.
"Well, this spaceship is built in a way that at least ten thousand soldiers can stay in it at one time for two years straight, without worrying about food, water or oxygen..." (Jin)
"This weapon is the pride of our human race, it's obviously not just for display, its main cannon is capable of injuring S-rankers and it's entirely possible to run away from the pursuit of S-rankers using teleportation..." (Jin)
"As for SS-ranker... well, I don't think there is any machinery out there that can escape the grasp of an SS-ranker in my opinion..." (Jin)
Fade being the arrogant guy, killed the Elven prince right in the capital city and the good relations between the human and elven race went down the drain instantly.
The whole group that went to the meeting of gods was hunted down by the elves like rats as they retreated back to the human empire.
'Although I don't like getting involved in the main storyline, I also don't want to be hunted like an idiot...' (Rio)
[The lift has reached the top floor!] (Solace)
The ai voice of solace brought Rio out of his thought.
Rio stopped thinking too much about this matter and exited the lift.
What appeared in his view was a gigantic garden filled with various types of flowers. Warm wind breeze blew over his face and made him feel comfortable.
A slight smile appeared on Rio's face after seeing this scenery.
'Ever since I read about this from the novel, I had wanted to see this scenery...' (Rio)
A beautiful garden inside a massive spaceship where a warm breeze of air blows, this combination of technology and nature seemed so bizarre yet so amazing that it brought a smile to Rio's expressionless face.
Rio walked through the field of flowers and sat on a bench located right in the middle of the flower field.
'Smells nice...' (Rio)
Rio brought out his smartphone took a selfie and uploaded it in the group chat.
When Link and others saw this photo they all expressed surprise and asked Rio for the location.
Obviously, Rio wasn't stingy, he told them about the place and they all decided to rush there.
At their excited messages, Rio simply smiled and continued to rest among that massive field of flowers.
'Thankfully I can enjoy the nice odor of these flowers in this life...' (Rio)
(Rio lived a harsh life in his past life, and his sense of taste, smell, and even eyesight, were dulled by various things, by a lot... but in this life, he got the chance to enjoy himself with peace...)
'Maybe, I should buy a house near a large flower field when I settle down in the future...' (Rio)
...
