In Dali, the city of the Kingdom of Cerroa, the heads of state and important figures from various countries began to gather one after another.
The first to arrive were Reinhard and Matheus of the Shoroa Kingdom.
They flew in by hot-air balloon. Accompanying them was a black knight (Schwarzlitter).

They were greeted by a huge airship.
It floated above the hot air balloon as if intimidating, looking down on Reinhardt and the others.
However, Reinhardt knows Jin's technology. He appeared to be astonished, but in fact, he was truly unconcerned.

However, Captain Matthäus Geist von Rialger, who was accompanying him, was different.
"La, Reinhard, did you see that? Did you see those huge airships? That's four of them!"
"Yeah, that's a lot."

Reinhardt was thinking that building four airships in such a short period of time was a good thing.
"Is that all?"
"Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you're dating a djinn."

...... I see."
The next group to arrive was from the Kingdom of Egelea.
In two hot air balloons came Duke Angus Bulu Pyroyd and Count Galana.

Duke Bulu is a cousin of King Egelea, so he came as a representative of the king. Count Galana was his companion.
For protection, each of them had one of the original golems of the Kingdom of Egelea, one shining in gold. One of them was gilded, a taste of Count Galana's. "Mmm," he said.
"Hmmm, this is amazing. The Kingdom of Cerroa is a country not to be underestimated.

Although the Duke of Bulou appeared to be acting with dignity, inwardly he was a bit overwhelmed.
On the other hand, Count Galana was overwhelmed just as the King of Cerroa had planned, and his complexion turned pale and his attitude showed it.
（What is this huge airship? I shouldn't have come to ......!)

"Calm down a bit, Count. It's a matter of national prestige."
"Yes, yes..."
Count Galana manages to keep up appearances after being rebuked by the Duke.

Third was the Kingdom of Franz.
The Duke of Lefort de Orange, known as the Duke of the South, arrived in a carriage with 10 of his men as a plenipotentiary.
It is obvious from this that there is a road between the kingdoms of Franz and Celuloa, which is not shown on the map.

However, no one pointed this out publicly. <
"Well, this is a wonderful technology! It is beyond the reach of our country.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, Prince Oranjee praised the airship with open arms.

The fourth to arrive was the Kingdom of Klein.
The fourth visitor was from the Kingdom of Klein, traveling in two hot-air balloons.
On one side were the second prince, Arthur, and his valet and tutor, Lyonesse Ashford.

On the other are his escort, Jessica Norton, and his technical advisor, Boulton Allstadt.
"Hmmm......... It sends chills down my spine to think what would happen if we used this in a war."
"Yeah, I agree. At that size, even my fire magic won't be able to bring it down.

"Haha, if you say so, Jessica, you are right, it is a threat."
Jessica and Boulton seem to feel threatened by the airship of the Kingdom of Celluloid.
"Prince, what do you think?"

"Well, I can appreciate their technological prowess, but their use of such intimidation is despicable. I don't think you are capable of uniting a country.
"Haha, you're right. I can't even grasp the true strength of Jin-dono ......, but when I think about it, I can only see it as a false threat."
But Prince Arthur and Lioness knew about Jin's <

"Ha-ha-ha, everyone seems surprised. It's funny."
King Richard of Celuloa let out a joyful laugh as he boarded one of the airships and looked down on the world below.
"The Kingdom of Elias and ......<

"This wine tastes good after all.

Fermentation is stopped by adding a high concentration of alcohol, such as spirits, during the fermentation process, which kills the yeast and stops the fermentation.
Richard's favorite was a strong liquor with an alcohol content of about 25 degrees.
In addition, a secret additive was added to further enhance the taste and aroma.

"Drinking this will make your head clear. My kingdom is secure."
But there came a time when his smile faltered a little.
At 3 p.m. on the same day, a small boat came from the sea up the Naudaria River to Dali via the Asr River.

It was a small ship, but it was about 8 meters long. The hull was divided into three parts and connected by a deck, and it seemed to have a magi-machine attached to the stern, which I had never seen before.
The speed of the ship was fast.
"Nun-nun, what is that ship?"

Richard asked Ratant, the director of the First Ministry of Technology, who was on board.
"Yes. From the looks of it, I'd say it's a ship from the Kingdom of Elias. The drive system is unknown from here ......."
It was a trimaran that Marcia had painstakingly developed. Destroyed by Bowall, it was further modified and fitted with two screw-driven outboard motors.

Thanks to the production assistance of the Arrow, which was improved and strengthened by Jin, it was completed in a short period of time and was immediately adopted by the Marquis of Florenziano, a lord of the southern region.
The Marquis of Firenziano, the Lord of the Southern Provinces, saw it and adopted it immediately.
Although they left later, they overtook the fleet that preceded them and arrived a day early.

On board is the representative, the Marquis Florenziano, and Marcia as pilot. The Arrow is the auxiliary crew.
The two outboard motors reach a maximum speed of 50 km/h and cover the 400 km from Potrock to the mouth of the Naudaria River in less than 9 hours. The 200 km upriver was also completed in less than 6 hours. The 200 kilometers upriver were completed in a little over six hours.
"...... Hmmm, it's just a little boat. What do I care?"

King Richard snickered and drank the wine from the glass in his hand in one gulp.
No more guests arrived that day. In the evening, King Richard returned to his palace in Dali.

The next day was even more exciting.
First of all, Gerhard Hilde von Rubies Shawlo, the empress of the Shawlo Kingdom, arrived in a carriage.
The time is 8:00 am.

She had crossed the Asur River on the first ferry of the morning.
"Well, well, Your Majesty, welcome!"
Even the Kingdom of Celuloa, as one would expect of the head of the Shoro Empire, decided that they could not fail to be courteous in welcoming the head of the Shoro Empire, and they were greeted by the First Secretary of Foreign Affairs, or Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bojoly.

Behind him were Reinhardt and Matheus.
When the emperor saw them, he smiled softly, nodded his head, and said to Bojoly: "I am pleased to have been invited to this meeting.
I am honored by your invitation.

At the same time as he said these words, a cheer went up.

Mr. Beaujolie turned around to see five giant golems, each measuring six meters in height, on their way to him.
They are our Goliaths. I'm sure you already know this.
Many of us know them, as they have passed through the Kingdom of Selroa when transporting desiccants to the Kingdom of Klein. Unfortunately, however, Bojolie did not know about it.

"Yes, you are quite good, aren't you? Yes, the Shoro Empire, indeed.
Unfortunately for him, there was an even louder cheer.
Looking at the people, they were all looking up. Bojoly looked up as well.

The airship descends slowly and lands soundlessly on the edge of the landing pad where the hot air balloons of various countries are moored.
Immediately, a golem in light silver armor jumped out and fastened itself to a hook ......<
