Chapter 1110: Airship
In the end, I chose to go with the Holy Empire group.
It was the sacred relic that won me over in the end.
It wasn't the value of the sacred relic that won me over, but rather the fact that they were willing to give up something of this value.
This was a clear sign that they were already desperate for me to come with them if they were willing to give up something this precious. So if I were to keep rejecting them, there was no telling what they would have been willing to do.
If I've already come to the decision that I would go to the Holy Empire, pushing them too far wasn't a good idea.
Though there were some people that were unhappy that I came to this decision so quickly, they held their tongues and didn't say anything about this decision.
That was how I set off for the Holy Empire.
In a carriage with the priest, I sat in front of the priest who had a smile on his face.
The way that he looked at me was as if he was happy that I had finally come to my senses and decided to go with him.
There was a part of me that wasn't happy seeing this look on his face, but I didn't say anything about it in the end. I knew that nothing that I said would actually help me in this situation, so I didn't bother addressing it.
Instead, there was something else that I asked, "Where are we going?"
Even though I agreed to go to the Holy Empire, the way that we were heading wasn't in the direction of the Holy Empire.
It seemed like we were going to a completely different place with the direction that we were heading in.
After all, the statement that was written by the priest didn't mention anything about where they were taking me other than the Holy Empire. There was the argument that they could be taking me to another place before taking me to the Holy Empire...
So there was the chance that they could be playing me still.
Once we arrived, the priest opened the door and stood outside the carriage. With his hand gesturing forward, he said, "Shall we?"
The way that he stood there was almost as if he was offering me the chance to take a closer look at the airship.
Though I knew what the airship was like, it was a completely different thing seeing it in real life instead of as a CG in a game. This was something that had the smell of a fantasy setting, so it made me a bit excited.
I could also see that Klein and the others were a bit excited seeing this.
Even though they flew regularly on the back of wyverns, it was a completely different thing to be flying on an airship.
They had naturally heard about the airships of the large empires, but to see it in person like this was certainly a different feeling.
It was different from flying on wyverns.
It could be considered safer since it was a proper vessel.
Since the priest was inviting me, I went onto the airship.
It wasn't really that different from a normal ship, other than the large crystal that was at the center of the airship. This large crystal was the reason why creating an airship was that expensive in the first place.
This large crystal was as expected a magic crystal, but to get a magic crystal of this size was rare and it wasn't as magic crystals could be combined together to form a large magic crystal
of this size.
The way that airships worked was that magic was used to generate wind that lifted up the airship and carried it to its destination.
Only a magic crystal of this size was able to support the large amounts of magic that was necessary to lift up an aircraft of this size.
These kinds of magic crystals were rare and hard to find, so they were very expensive.
One could see the power that an empire had just based on the fact that they possessed these magic crystals for airships.
