The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

The meeting with the queen of the elves is tough, but when she finally talked about the floating stone, she was very surprised by the indication.

"I thought it was a kind of jewel that just floated."

And the queen of the elves, who keeps her beauty as she ages for hundreds of years, says. I snort.

"Yeah, it's just a floating stone."

However, if it is built on a vehicle, it is quickly transformed into a substitute for flying in the sky, ignoring the weight.

Queen Karen witnessed Willidis fighters and helicopters during the inner defense of the elves ahead. I explained that the floating stones dramatically stretched those flying abilities, and that in ancient civilized times they were flying giant steel ships.

"Listening to Master Jin, I solved one of my childhood doubts"

In the castle town at the root of the world tree and in the aerial city of Vilja, there is a transfer magic formation, respectively. I visited here a second time and let us use it, too. That's it, but Queen Karen says the magic formations on both sides are in the same position, except for height.

This means that there is a castle town transfer magic formation directly beneath Vilja's transfer magic formation.

"For once, when there was no transfer magic formation, there was a lift using the power of a floating stone, moving it to and from an aerial city to a terrestrial city,"

Queen Karen presented herself. In short, a giant elevator, a floating stone as its power? I see. Given the characteristic of floating around ignoring weight, it can be said to be exactly how to use it.

"Now that we're using the Transfer Magic Formation, maybe the floating stones were stored in the treasure trove."

"Now that we're using that... It's what I got, should I give it back?

"No, I gave it to you, Master Jin will use it."

Thank you. I will use it. Because it's on a long-range general purpose reconnaissance aircraft (Poynix) now.

"Nevertheless, is it a flying ship..."

The queen shrugged.

"Something?

"There was a ship that flew freely around the sky in the legacy of elves..."

The queen spoke out. More than a thousand years ago, the elves inside here said they owned floating ships using ancient civilization-era flying techniques.

floating boat over a thousand years ago. I don't know when the period of ancient civilization was, but compared to that, it can be said to be a relatively new category. Are you saying that there was already a vehicle to fly in those times?

But your ancestors, for some reason, sealed the floating ship.

"Perhaps the elves at the time thought that its existence would be a source of disaster"

When you hear of a flying ship, those who do not have it will want it. The same goes for the group of aircraft I built in Willidis.

King Emmann or Jarzy won't make it public because he owes me, but if it was a relationship with no edge or itch, I would have done everything I could to get it.

I think the elves once hid it to avoid flying ships becoming targets around them and a pretext for aggression and looting.

... Isn't it a little cold for elves against other races to avoid touching secrets like that?

"Dear Gin...?

"No."

Shake your head if it's nothing.... If so, Queen Karen will be making much more far-fetched remarks. Or do you fully trust me?

Well, from me already owning the aircraft, if you're interested in Elf's floating ship, I'm not going to get it.... unless it's loaded with some kind of powerful weapon.

That point can be said to be a source of concern. The Diggrattle Great Empire, which is now extending its hand in aggression to the continent, also holds an air fleet. Even for them to proceed with the development of flight technology, the elf floating vessel is sufficient for the research subject. If it were known to exist, it would be a reason for aggression.

Queen Cullen continued, taking me by surprise.

"I remember hearing about Master Jin's floating stone." If disaster befalls you, and you have to abandon the inside, go to the Iron Valley. There the wings of the Spirit sleep '. "

"Wings of the Spirit......"

"Probably about a floating ship. It's a royal heirloom."

"... could you have revealed that to me, the outsider?

There's only me and the queen in the queen's office. If there was a heavy town in Elf, it would probably be an important project.

"Oh, right"

Queen Karen nodded calmly with a grin.

"Matters that should be kept secret. But you're different, Master Jin."

Listen, the queen leans back off the couch and heads to the bookcase.

"In the invasion of the dark elves that preceded us, our midst was driven to the doomsday. The people also knew that there were matters that could not be solved solely by their own power, and that the kingdom was not absolute..."

……

"Over the past few years, the invasion of the great empire of humans has progressed, and I don't know if I can stay safe in this elf or forever. In some situations, you will fight. But we need to be prepared for when it's gone."

When she took a book out of the bookcase, the queen spread it over her desk. From the open book came a single old map.

"A floating boat... I didn't believe in inheritance. I thought it was like a fairy tale, and I forgot half of it. But I wanted to listen to Master Jin and believe in his legacy."

The map was like a map in and around Virya. Queen Karen's thin fingers leave the center and flow to the edge of the map.

"This is the Iron Valley. It's a land containing a lot of iron that fairies don't like, and it's also a place with a lot of ancient remnants. Behind this lies Elf's secret treasure trove."

I've heard stories about spirits and fairies hating metal, but there's a secret treasure trove of elves behind it, he said.

No, are you serious? Tell me such a secret!?

"I haven't been there yet, either, but I was convinced I had to check the condition of this treasure trove to see what was going on yesterday. After all, Master Jin, would you please come with me?

"Me!?

I see, you revealed a secret because you asked me to accompany you. I'm convinced by the way her story goes, but at the same time the doubts that involve anxiety about whether it's really okay with me get bigger.

I'm just here to buy some water magic metal, and it's starting to matter.

"Why me?

"Master Jin is a trustworthy man. Plus we analyze floating stones and have a wealth of knowledge. I know very little about the contents of the treasure trove, so it would be helpful if you could give me some advice."

I'm not sure I can advise you either.

"Few must know the secrets as little as their compatriots do. You need my help to unlock the royal treasure trove, but the Iron Valley is supposed to be a little dangerous, so you need an armed escort."

Credit, skill, small numbers, and the fact that I'm the best. I wonder if it could be the head of a man trusted by the queen of elves, me.

It's troublesome, but it can't be trusted to the full extent. Really, I'm vulnerable to beauty.

"Okay. It means going where the demons are, so you'll need to be prepared. Will you even send out escorts from the elves?

"I think it will be a small number. A few from my Kingsguard."

That's fine. Exactly me and the Queen could be suspicious of some kind of unpleasant plot if we just moved around or something. I'm in trouble if you don't have some witnesses on the elf side.

"For once, it's a covert operation, so we have to make up a reason for Her Majesty to leave the Spirit Palace and go outside."

"Yeah, you're right, but I have one idea."

With that said, Queen Karen stared at me like a prankster.

"I want to fly."
