Chapter 260: The Deal

Chapter 260: The Deal

The Sky Island that once reigned the heavens was now a thing of the past, a wreckage floating in the sky.

The feelings of fleeing that Sky Island 200 years ago, having their hometown drift like a loose kite, and being separated from their brethren.........

「So if we can reach the room that contains the dungeon core and seize control of the Sky Island’s system, it would return to its former state?」

「Yes, from what I have learned from the preceding elders, I am certain of this.」

We learned of the Sky Island in much detail from Valkan-san, the elder of the Aligerous Tribe which lived quietly in the solitary island we arrived at.

Setting aside the issue with the remnants of the old Sydnia, we all couldn’t help but be excited about the fantasy-filled Sky Island.

The issue with the old Sydnia was that we might not be able to save Akira as a former Japanese, but we would carry the burden and dejection if we left him be too. Meanwile, we felt bad for the Aligerous Tribe, but we were having a hard time keeping a straight face at the presentiment of the heart pounding adventure.

200 years ago, Valkan-san and the tribe who escaped were unable to travel to other islands and continents, imprisoned in this solitary island. The reason for this was because the Aligerous Tribe can’t fly long distances.

「We can’t fly like birds with these wings.」

The Aligerous Tribe fly with Wind attribute magic like Dragons, and their wings are used as support. If we think of the physique Dragons and the Aligerous Tribe, if they have to fly just with their wings, they would need a light build like birds and muscles to flap the wings, and that was impossible with their current body balance.Finndd the newest novels on n/o/velbin(.)com

Naturally, the high ranking dragons and flying dragons are capable of long distance flight, but that isn’t possible for the amount of magic power possessed by the Aligerous Tribe.

「Iruma-dono, if you are willing to go that far, would it not be us gaining unilaterally? Even with the Sky Island, we must rely on your flying ship, and if we have you provide our weapons and armor on top of that, we have nothing to offer in return.」

「Although we said we’d provide weapons and armor, we’re just making them out of the materials we have in stock.」

We finally convinced Valkan-san, who felt ashamed, after repeating that the armor and weapons were several levels lower than our equipment.

「So what will we do? Do we move to the village?」

I don’t know how many villagers there are, but I have experience with accepting immigrants into the Sanctuary, so it’ll be fine even with all of the Aligerous Tribe living in this solitary island.

「For the children and elderly who are unable to fight, we have a base in the Demon Continent and a safe place a bit farther away, so it would be fine to spend their time in either place.」

「Our wish is to return to the Sky Island with everyone in the future. May we ask that it be the closest one, if possible?」

「I understand. Then we will have them stay in the base at the Demon Continent. Foodstuff and everyday necessities will be provided.」

Valkan-san informed us of the number of people in their tribe that are living in this solitary island. Who would have thought, there were less than 200 of them. Also, apparently the number of Aligerous warriors remaining in the Sky Island were roughly the same number.

It looks like the situation of the Aligerous Tribe was getting worse at this rate.
