63 Episode 62 Departure.txt




 About 20 days later, a fine road was completely completed.
 At the same time we made the dragons. I made eight of them. It's a fairly large cart, with a payload of about 4 tons. The forest dragon was able to pull this huge cart by itself, and it was able to go very fast.

 Now that the roads were clear and the cart was ready, Beramus wanted to go negotiate with the elven country.
 Basically, he did not want to leave the city, but for once he had to. Only he could speak Elvish, and without him there would be no bargaining.

 I'm a little nervous, but I've decided to go, leaving the town in the hands of Medina and Arraune's leader, Elency.

 We're going to trade what we're going to get from the Beresdral with the surplus meroons we have left over because we've increased our farm, the wood we acquired when we were building our roads, and the chairs and desks we made from the wood.
 I was hoping to get some sweet food and high quality weapons from the elven kingdom of Famar, as I was not sure if there were any luxuries, especially sweet things at all.
 For our first deal, we decided to bring as much Merune as we could. It's a rare vegetable and it's delicious, so it should be worth a lot. Since it's made with magical water, the production is high in Ichiban and there's quite a bit left over.

 We'll set a course of action and decide to come back in five days or so.
 I told Aretha and Delarosa at dinner.

"I'm coming with you!

 That's what Bellamus was expecting to hear.

"It's quite a long trip, isn't it?
I'm fine! I've always wanted to go out of town.
Yeah. Well, you can come.

 I don't have to say no to anyone, so I agree. Furthermore.

"I'll go with you if you go.

 And Aretha said she was going too. It's going to take 18 days to get to the Kingdom of Famer and back. Of course, he won't be back right away, so it will take 30 days.
 I can't leave Aretha alone during that time, so of course I'll take her with me.

 Then Delarosa asks Medero to come too. It seems that Romesa was also invited, but of course she refused.

 Five days later, the day of departure.

I'm going with you, Josie.
Delarosa, calm down.

 Aretha wanted Delarosa frolicking in Veronica's carriage. Delarosa is straddling Veronica's back instead of the dragon carriage because she thinks it would be more fun to go with Veronica than to ride the dragon carriage.

"I wonder what it's like in the land of the elves. I didn't ask Romesa about it because I thought it would be a bad idea.

 Medero seems excited.
 Bellamus has never been to the Kingdom of Famar from this era either, so I don't know what it looks like now.
 Perhaps it's because elves live longer and change more slowly.
 I don't know how much time has passed since the days before Bellamus' reincarnation, but he guessed that things hadn't changed that much.

'Then we're off.

 Go with me will be Bellamus, Delarosa, Aretha, Medero. And then there are the goblins who control the eight dragons.
 The carts are filled with things we can use to trade. Mostly stuffed with meroons.

 The goblins control the dragons and the forest dragons and they're on their way to the elven kingdom of Famaal.
