"Thank you so much!"

Kitagawa smiled.

"I see your itinerary! It looks like you're still going to rush to Aaron, don't you? ”

The nobleman drew a quill and hurriedly jotted something down on the paper.

"Yes, I can't enter the Royal Knight Academy for the time being, as far as the date on the contract is in. So I'm going to go around Aaron first! Is there a problem with this? ”

"Of course, it's your freedom! But I must warn you that our war with Rhodok is not over yet! If you do go over there, we can't guarantee that those guys will do anything excessive, after all, you know, those Rhodoks are uncivilized brutes. ”

Siparo put the pen in his hand back into the parchment scroll and said with a serious face.

"Well, I won't bother you! I was over there to see a friend..."

"In that case, I can only wish you good luck. Well, here's your pass! Finally, I would like to extend an invitation to the cadets of the Royal Knight Academy! We hope you will be able to stay in our Kingdom of Svadia and serve the royal family after graduation! We will give you the best treatment! ”

Siparo handed Kitagawa an elaborate iron plaque and sent him an invitation.

"I'll think about it..."

Kitagawa took the iron card and showed an inexplicable smile to Camicia behind him.

...

After sending off the clerk, Kitagawa said with a smile:

"Hey! Look at the passes in your country are made of iron! It's just such a small piece in Nord, but it can be exchanged for at least enough food for an ordinary person to eat for a week! ”

"No, you're wrong! This is a high-level pass, and you can walk freely in the castle except for the most important places, and it is a status symbol! Others don't have that privilege..."

Camicia nodded at the two ships moored aside.

Kitagawa looked in the direction that Camicia was pointing, and sure enough, the other clerk just handed the other party a wooden pass.

"I see! Looks like this exchange student's identity is quite useful..."

Kamikia shook her head and looked back at Sukhbaatar behind her. A trace of nostalgia flashed on his face:

"Alright, let's separate here!"

"Hmmm! Goodbye..."

(You're home, aren't you?) ）

“...”

Camicia stared at Kitagawa's face as if she wanted to imprint the person's appearance in her mind, and then turned away without looking back.

Rama followed her.

"Hey! It's really easy to get there..."

Kitagawa looked at each other's backs in amazement, knowing that the two had disappeared at the end of the street.

"Captain! Although it would seem unrighteous to leave now, I thought about it carefully, and I should leave too..."

After the departure of Camicia and Rama, Ken also stepped forward.

"Let's go..."

Beichuan shook his head, although he had been mentally prepared, but the sudden surge of emotions made him really unable to say anything goodbye.

...

So Chef Ken also left...

Beichuan turned his head to look at the lonely Lancet, and suddenly felt that he was particularly depressed today. (Because the gnomes and pirates are easily recognizable, Kitagawa left them on the ship...) ）

"Captain, what are we going to do next?"

"Go back to sleep! Find a shipyard tomorrow and repair the ship! And set sail..."

...

The next day

Kitagawa and the two found a shipyard that was well-known in the local area

But after looking for a boatman to see Beichuan's ship, the boss shook his head and said:

"Sorry! Sir, we can't fix this ship..."

Kitagawa asked why, and he received an answer that shocked him.

"Sir, although I don't know what kind of wood your ship is made of, but there is no doubt that this wood is so strong that we can't work with it, not even with a mast, but you may be able to go to the city's master shipbuilder, Mr. Sp, and see where he is to the west of the city..."

...

So Beichuan and Lanster hurried to the west of the city...

And according to the owner of the shipyard in the east of the city, he found a dilapidated dock at the address he said

"Captain Higgs! Is this it? But why does it look so broken? ”

Lancet looked in disbelief at the dilapidated dockyard in front of him.

That's right! It's big enough to fit two Sukhbaatar in it.

But now it's a bit miserable...

The dock is empty,

The roof is full of holes...

There was also a thick layer of dust on the ground, and debris and garbage filled the bottom of the dry dock.

"That old guy isn't a liar, is he? Or maybe the guy who lives here is a liar, and this dock has never been used at all! ”

Lancet said angrily.

"Young man, don't talk nonsense... A giant ship has been built here! ”

Suddenly, a voice came from the side, and the two turned their heads to look, only to find that it was an old beggar who was holding a wine bottle.

Lancet thought that the two of them had been tricked by Lao Wan of the shipyard, and there was already a fire in his heart, and he was provoked by the old beggar's words.

"Megaship? How can it be said to be a giant ship? Is it better than Nord's 'sea giant'? Looking at this dilapidated and small dock, I'm afraid it doesn't even have a third of the house...? ”

"'Sea Giant'? You mean the one in the hands of the explorers? "The old beggar seemed to come to his senses.

Lancet sneered:

"Of course!"

The expression was undeniable, and there was some pride in being a Norder.

However, the old man did not delve into it, but changed the subject:

"You're both foreigners, aren't they?"

"So what?" Ranster frowned.

"I wonder if you've ever heard of the 'God of War'?"

The old beggar is quiet.

"Aares?"

Lancet searched for his memories but had no impression, and in his impression, Svadia's battleships were most famous for, Attack, Challenger, Knight... These, but the tonnage is less than half the size of the sea giant.

"Hmmm! The construction of the Ares began eight years ago, and Svadia used the power of the whole country to build it for five years and eight months..., when the Ares was completed, the height of the battleship was level with the walls of Paraven! From afar, it looks like a moving black city! The next day, the whole country was shocked, and King Harlaus came to see it, praised it as the largest warship in the world, and gave it the name 'God of War', which means invincible in battle..."

The old beggar seemed to know this history in great detail.

"Could it be that 'shipbuilding miracle'..."

Lancet seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly said.

Hearing this, Beichuan's eyes flashed, and he walked to the dock to take a closer look...

And the old beggar glanced at Lancet, then at Beichuan over there, sighed, and said:

"That's right! That's it, it's just a pity! On the third day of sea trials, as I expected, the hull broke and sank into the sea..."

"I've heard a lot of people say it's because of the shipbuilders..."

"Cut... Fart! ”

The old man took a sip of wine and spouted a foul word.

"Huh?"

Lancet glanced at the old man on the ground suspiciously.

"I'll say it when I'm on the keel! The multiple timbers used for that keel simply could not bear the weight of the hull, but .... Ay! The young Marquis of Craggs had just taken his father's place, and he wanted to make a name for himself! This project took a long time, and this young marquis was always impatient, so he didn't look for the planned wood at all, but just found an ordinary gray wood keel..."
