Chapter 11 - Transportation

Two weeks left before me and prince Kaesul meet again. I will know when I get back whether he needs my assistance or not.

I'll have to finish that first!

After resting the whole team when we got back I ask the mayor to get me some materials and some equipment.

"Mayor Aartu, will you please help me get some materials and equipment?"

"Sure. What do you need?"

I handed her a list of everything I will be needing to create that, and ask if I can borrow a smithy. She then said that she will be able to get it by tomorrow morning and I can use the smithy behind the mayor's office. With the materials done, I decided to go to the smithy to see where I will be doing it.

All are good here! Well maintained tools and a clean environment.

Equipment, tools, materials and a place is done now.

Since I will have to wait for tomorrow I went to the market to buy Nunu some clothes. There were a lot of eyes staring at us when we got back yesterday. A handsome young man who is half-naked in broad daylight in the middle of a crowded place is bound to attract some attention. Especially since he was covered in dirt.

I am pretty sure this would suit him better. I gave him the clothes I got after returning, and made him change into it with haste. Aah! He looks good in it! Since I was the one who created him I am basically his father, right. At the age of twenty three and I already have a child despite being a virgin. This is so messed up.

Since Nunu is in human form and he can talk now, I'll have him and Alfred spar while I am finishing my own assignment. Nunu would hunt small insects and other small creatures back then. Can't really waste time now.

"Alfred, I will be very busy in the next five days. Use those five days to teach Nunu how to fight. Don't teach him how to use aura though. Got that?"

To begin with, Nunu's soul core is not even a natural one. If he did learn aura it will strain him more than it will benefit him.

"Yes sir!" He saluted as he replied.

"For today, you can go buy anything you want with this"

I gave him a bag of coins. Surely this amount is enough right?

"Sir. this is too much! I can't possibly take this!" He replied.

"Its fine. You should go spoil yourself every now and then you know. Nothing wrong with enjoying what you earned"

I spent the night in the library reading history books to gain knowledge about this world. Morning came and I started to prepare in the smithy. After an hour, the carriage finally came and nothing was missing.

I'm glad they understood how I physically describe bauxite.

Using bauxite to create aluminum and gold into gold threads. Using the aluminum as the base and the gold threads as circuits. Meanwhile enhancing the magi stones to be able to absorb one attribute.

Three days pass and I finally created a base for a car. A car that use both magic and electricity to fly which was invented back in 2570's. Quite old school compared to my car but I don't really have the time to complaint now can I.

"I hope I am not interrupting something?" (Aartu)

"No, of course not. Thank you for coming in such short notice."

"Then what do I need to do?" She ask.

"Please pour some of your space magic, here any space-based spell will work"

She then did as I said. With this, I am now done making the wheels and the boosters.

"I never thought that you would know so many about this type of things" (Aartu)

"Its because back in my world, I belong to what you would call the Ten Great Families. and since I am a member of my clan, I was forcibly taught about all the basics in everything no matter how ridiculous it may be"

"I see"

"Also, I would like to buy more of these stones"

I showed her the bauxite.

"Of course"

Now that I am finish making the base, engine, wheels and the battery. Since I don't really have a source of electricity, I will use magic instead and I will be using my aura as fuel for the car. With this it should be able to fly at least one meter from the surface; land or water.

Next up will be the chair. I'll be needing something soft and smooth but also resilient enough so that it doesn't get damage easily.

The fourth day came and I am now done making the car. The test drive was also successful. Now that just leaves Alfred and Nunu. I wonder how they will react when they see this. Since there are only carriages for transportation surely it would shock them to see a flying car now. After all only ones that can fly are high ranking mages.

The departing day came and we pack our belongings.

"Follow me. From now on we will not be riding horses anymore."

They then followed me all the way to the road. I made sure to hide it here since this is a road that no one uses due to the number of monsters. However such monsters are easily repelled with my defensive rune barrier.

"What is that, master?" (Nunu)

"It looks like some kind of beast with an armor" (Alfred)

"Get inside!"

They were reluctant at first but after sitting on the specially soft chair that I made, their worries were nowhere to be seen.

I told and showed them how to put their seat belts on. And I quickly step on the pedal.

At the very least we should be going about eighty kilometres per hour. The several day journey on horseback will only take a few hours with this!

"Alfred do you want to learn how to use this?" I ask.

"I can?!" He asks in disbelief.

"Sure. I will teach you in the near future"

[Alfred's loyalty towards you have increase threefold]

Now that's nice. But the reason for the increase in loyalty is a bit... Hah! Just forget it. To think that his loyalty would increase just because I said that I'd teach him to drive. Sigh.

Though Alfred was scared at first, midway, he started to put his head out and wag his tail. Now he is acting more like a dog. Meanwhile Nunu seems to be having motion sickness. His stoic image sure is crumbling.

We arrive at the logged house before sunset. We should have arrive earlier if it wasn't for those bandits. Using explosives in the road! Seriously?! The car would have suffered some damage if I didn't put any protective enhancements into it.

May and Nrowe are still in the capital huh.

"Nunu you can go rest in my room for tonight"

"Y-yes master"

He looks like he is about to puke any second now.

"When will we ride that thing again Sir?!" (Alfred)

"A week from now, when we go back to the capital"

"Okay!"

He sure look excited for it.
