A Famous Traitor and Treacherous Genius

261 – The Most Gorgeous Coffin for You (5)

July 7, 99, Imperial Calendar.

Although my birthday hasn’t passed, I still have exactly half a year left until I become an adult.

I am now at a moment in history.

“Sir Robert. Do you remember when you came here with me before?”

“Yes. It was a time when elevators were not even installed, and I could not have imagined that we would have this kind of relationship with the empire.”

“It’s already been 9 years ago.”

“Time flies.”

Sir Robert and the two of them once stood on the wall of the gateway.

The wasteland that is the territory of the empire is still permeated with red energy, but there is a solid railroad in the middle of it, and the gate is wide open.

And inside the gateway, all kinds of shops are lined up centered around the railroad.

So far, no one has died from being hit by a train, and at the outlet, which was thoroughly designed to prevent such an incident from happening, so many people came so close to the tracks that you wonder if an accident will finally happen today .

Even though there is a fence installed and trains pass slowly between the canyons, people still wait for the train to pass quickly even though they could be injured by stones thrown by the passing train.

Because I know about the emperor’s state visit.

Imperial newspapers widely promoted the Emperor’s visit to Nostrum, and hinted that crossing the canyon would be the Empire’s new ‘means of transportation’.

As a result.

“Boy, aren’t there people in fancy suits over there? Aren’t they the ones who came to buy gold mining rights last time?”

“Why are all the people who want to make a name for themselves in the empire gathered here?”

All the capitalists and influential people who were said to have some money or power in the empire flocked to the canyon.

-Hey, don’t push! This is my place!

-That’s right. Let’s take some pictures together. You can’t go on the railroad!

-I came running here as soon as the newspaper article appeared!

-Damn, did you even bet money on this place? I know the owner of the house next door!

Due to the crowds of people, some confusion may occur.

Those who got off at the stations in front and in front of the canyon, each holding a new imperial magic projector-camera, flocked to the canyon to decorate the video magic stone with a historic moment.

Not only the people of the empire, but also the kingdom’s influential nobles.

“Master. Surely, the crowds of people thanks to the train aren’t a joke?”

“In the past, it would have taken three days and two nights by carriage to reach the distance in less than half a day. If you drive without stopping in between, you will be able to get from the canyon to the capital in three hours, right?”＜ Br＞

The train is fast.

Although it has many wheels, the magic stone engine and the large amount of magic stones that make all of those wheels roll can now run on the rails much faster than a horse can run at full power, as long as the railroad is safe.＜ Br＞

“Sir Robert. Let me tell you one thing in advance. How good the Emperor of the Empire is at controlling information.”

I pointed to my eyes and ears, and then down the canyon.

“Are there people clinging to the railroad right now?”

“No.”

“Why is that so?”

“Of course, everyone is expecting that the emperor’s way of visiting this time is by high-speed train. The fastest train ever. There are rumors that its speed is as fast as that of a flying dragon, or even faster than that, right ?”

“100 points.”

As Sir Robert said, people are now anticipating the appearance of a new magic train running on the railway.

“Then, are there people on the other side of the fence who are anticipating the possibility of being hit and injured by a fast-moving train?”

“…No. Those who have the best positions are all in good positions to take pictures of the train running on the tracks. From the front.”

“Where is a good place to take pictures of the sky?”

“It’s probably a place where people come late and get pushed out of their seats and end up on the roof of the outlet, or crawl up the stairs to the top of the 50-meter wall.”

“What are their characteristics?”

“They are either new reporters from the imperial press, or people who came to see the sights with a little money. You’re lucky.”

“300 points. Normally, good seats should be paid more, but today it seems like it will be the other way around.”

The fundamental principle of the market is that the seats that are closest to the stage or that allow you to enjoy the stage most comfortably are sold at a higher price.

Would it be better to watch a train running on the ground right next to it, or would it be better to look down on it from 50 meters above?

This is a story based on the premise of ‘running on land’.

“Just then, he’s coming over there.”

“…Oh my god.”

Beyond the horizon of the red wilderness, something is running, honking.

“Master. That color is…”

“Don’t tell me the color. “I get irritated as soon as I see it.”

A ship is running on a railroad.

Instead of the usual train coming from the direction of the Empire to the Kingdom of Nostrum, a magic automatic ship has dozens of wheels underneath and is running down the railway at a slower speed than a carriage.

“Master, that color…”

“I don’t know how many magic engines were installed. It must be quite heavy.”

“Well, it’s the exterior paint rather than the specifications.”

“Just by looking at the outside… Yes, that’s the ship. The flagship of the Navy’s 1st Fleet before it was disbanded. Now it should be called [Hairedin]. The name of the naval captain who contributed decisively to creating an atmosphere Flagship of peace in the kingdom and empire.”

“Master. Don’t deny reality.”

“…”

“Isn’t there a gray line in the ultramarine blue?”

“Why bother pointing this out? I feel like I want to take my score down, but… “

That can’t be possible.

Sir Robert is just talking about the paint on that ship.

“Yes. It’s ultramarine blue.”

“And there’s a gray pattern painted on it. It looks similar in color to your hair.”

“Did it really have to go that far?”

“Isn’t it a political symbol?”

Sir Robert has a serious face and an analytical attitude.

“A ship with the symbolic colors of the Habsburg von Tersian Emperor and the symbolic colors of the Gray Gibraltar Governor of Barcelona. This paint represents the unity of the Empire and Gibraltar.”

“…”

“However, the symbolic color of Gibraltar is red, not gray. The original symbolic color of Gibraltar was the color of the Margrave at the time – now the Marquis – but it matched the color of the head of the family. The reason it is not red because it is a harmony with Gray Gibraltar, not the Crimson Marquis.”

“…”

“If you look at the color alone, it is also meaningful in the specifications of the ship. The flagship of the disbanded First Fleet of the Navy, Hayreddin, was named after the person who showed love across straits and borders with the Baroness of Seville Coming on a wave? This is a signal that makes us think once again about the harmony of the two countries, the empire and the kingdom.”

“…”

“And one more thing.”

Sir Robert repeatedly folded and unfolded his fingers and looked at the slowly approaching Hayreddin.

“Such a ship is heading to the capital of the kingdom, not anywhere else. If we interpret it this way, we can say that it is peace itself.”

“That’s right.”

“Even if the reason for the visit was to discuss the engagement between the governor of the kingdom’s former Marquisate of Barcel and the imperial princess? It will turn the entire continent upside down.”

“That’s true too.”

“But the real thing is…”

“Yes. Just now, it’s just starting.”

We are now at the scene of history.

You will see those who come up to the gate, but you probably won’t see those who are sticking their heads out to see the train coming from inside the canyon.

Clap, clap.

An unidentified sound of iron fire is heard from the Hayreddin.

With the sound of magic stones rotating inside something, something began to spread left and right next to the deck of the Hayreddin.

“That is…”

“It’s wings.”

The ship gained wings.

Like unfolding a folded sail, a wide plate made of steel began to spread left and right like wings.

“Are there windstones hanging down there?”

“That’s right. Considering the location, it’s all attached to the bottom and back of the wings…”

Buuung.

The Hayreddin slowly began to rise into the air.

Instead of feeling the flow of magical power behind the wings, I could clearly see the wind blowing out from under the Hayreddin.

“Oh my god. Are you planning to destroy the railroad?”

“You might think that all you have to do is fix the railroad… Rather, it seems like it’s more effective than just floating, right? When you see it floating on the rails like that.”

“It seems more effective than floating in place. Provided you keep the wheels rolling.”

“Aren’t wheels supposed to roll?”

“Ours is decoration.”

“Oh.”

Wooo much?!

Cheers like screams can be heard from below.

In fact, Sir Robert appears to be as calm as possible, but his eyes are shining and he is busy fiddling with the imperial camera he is holding and watching the Hayreddin rise higher.

The Hayreddin does not run on the railroad, but rises above the railroad and approaches the gate.

“Master. I will take care of the photos. The rest…”

“Sir Robert, please take the picture.”

I climbed onto the railing of the castle wall towards the Hayreddin, which was anchored exactly on top of the wall of the first gateway, with the deck at the same height.

“Long time no see. Your Majesty Habsburg von Tersian.”

“It’s been a long time. Really, it’s been a long time.”

On deck.

On a deserted ship, the Habsburg von Tersian, wearing an iron laurel wreath and wearing imperial robes, welcomed me with his arms.

“You look calm.”

“I’m just pretending to be calm.”

“Isn’t that because I’ve seen it before?”

“Even a piece of iron as heavy as an elevator can fly, so there is no reason to be surprised by a ship flying.”

“It’s a shame. Even when I saw it from afar, there wasn’t a single change in its expression. It was as if I had expected it.”

The Habsburg Emperor stretched out his hand towards the deck, and I jumped from the railing and landed on the deck.

Originally, it would have fallen straight towards the land of the empire.

However, it took less than a second for me to land, and the height was less than 1m.

“Sir Robert Seville. No, was it Sir Robert Madrid? As emperor of the empire, I ask you a favor…”

Click.

As soon as I stood face to face with the Habsburg Emperor, Robert pressed the shutter of the magic projector.

“Hmm.”

The Habsburg emperor held out his hand, and I took it.

Click, click.

“The photo shoot is over.”

I pulled the emperor’s hand away before he could put any pressure on his hand.

“Sir Robert will be sending the photographs through the Imperial Embassy in Gibraltar, so there is no need for him to insist on taking any more.”

“Gun… “

“Smile, Your Majesty. Why should you look so upset on the first flight that will be recorded in history?”

“I don’t see any joy on this historic day.”

“There’s no way you can be happy.”

I pointed below the boat.

“What about other people?”

“I came alone.”

“…Emperor, alone?”

“It’s enough on my own. “I sign with my own hands.”

“…”

“Oh, maybe there’s a risk of assassination or terrorism?”

The Habsburg Emperor snapped his fingers, and the Hayreddin floated a little higher –

From noble mtl dot come

“Don’t worry. You’ll be safe at least until you reach the capital.”

Finally, I passed the gate.

“Aren’t you going to protect me, at least until the capital?”

I was just astonished to see him smiling with one eye squinted.
