"I think I heard that there is another method… Like a teleportation array or something." That idea had appeared in Blake's mind as she remembered that Ragna had mentioned something like that in the past.
"So you know more than you let on." Blake felt a little nervous about the way Lynn was looking at him, but she was just playing with him a little. "You're not wrong, there really is such a method. Basically, it is a huge spatial array that can take you to any territory that also has one of these, it works thanks to the use of rune crystals, so, although it is the fastest and safest way to move between continents, it is also the most expensive since, if you do not have rune crystals, a simple one trip to the Uruz continent from Laguz would cost about ten million coins."
Blake's mouth had just opened unconsciously once he heard the price of the trip. With everything he had heard about the various territories of Futhark, he was very interested in the idea of visiting other places like the other continents, but the price of using the teleportation array greatly discouraged him.
"Hahaha!" And unlike before, Lynn couldn't help but laugh a little when she saw Blake's expression, she assumed something like that would happen, but saw it was more comical than she thought. "Don't worry, Blake. I am sure that if you work hard you will be able to achieve that amount one day."
Blake narrowed his eyes as he looked in Lynn's direction, he wasn't going to say that it was practically impossible to do so since he had quite a bit of hope in his crops… But it was still a huge amount for the present him.
"So those are the only ways to go to other continents?" Blake had to ask that question to make sure, but to his good luck, Lynn had something else to mention.
"You might think that, but there are other ways… Although one of them is a bit difficult." Lynn raised her hand again while raising four of her fingers before continuing. "I already mentioned to you about using a ship through the sea and the use of the teleportation array."
Lynn lowered two of her fingers as she mentioned each of the methods before asking Blake a question.
"So we already covered the sea and space, can you think of any other way, Blake?" And the next second, a rather pleased expression formed on Lynn's face due to Blake's response.
"Maybe… Through the air?"
"Through the air… What made you think of it?" Lynn was quite curious as to how Blake came to that answer, so she was quick to question him.
"Well… Actually, it was the first thing that occurred to me." Blake had simply ruled out the possibilities, he didn't believe there was a way to go by land since the continents were divided by the ocean, teleportation was also removed from the list, so the only place that seemed most feasible was by air... Although he didn't know how exactly.
"I see… Well, let me tell you that you are correct even if you only guessed." Lynn lowered another of her fingers, which further verified that Blake was correct. "And before I start explaining, you should know that this method is the more popular for moving between continents, not only because it is safer than going by sea, but also because its price-comfort ratio is quite good."
Blake was curious again as it seemed like his idea of traveling the world wouldn't be as stagnant as he thought.
"Air travel is mainly based on the use of aircrafts, if you want to compare them with something more common, it is as if they were ships which have various arrays and combined technology that make them capable of crossing the skies above us, that method transport was created thanks to the race of dwarves, so it is not very difficult to guess that they are the main owners and in charge of the use of these vehicles, although there is never a shortage of those who want to replicate said technology to scam some people, but if you get the chance, traveling like that is pretty amazing, well, at least the first few times." Blake nodded towards Lynn's words as he could only imagine what that experience would be like, and he felt a little excited as crossing the sky in a flying ship was something you would only see in dreams.
"And what is the last method?" Blake realized that Lynn was done with the mention of aircrafts, so he had to ask.
"Well, do you remember that I told you that the last method is the most complicated? That's because very few people can take this path." In Blake's sight, Lynn seemed to be acting somewhat mysterious, but that mystery wouldn't really last long. "It is not because it is a dangerous or expensive way, but to take this path you need to be strong enough."
Blake was still somewhat confused by those words, but what he would hear next would make his knowledge of the runic path and that of magic increase a little more... But that was already enough to excite him greatly.
"What I'm talking about is using your own strength to cross from one continent to another, and this is only possible once you reach the level of a Royal runic or a Five-rune wizard or witch since, if you reach that level, you will have the ability to fly." Lynn said it calmly, but now Blake had many questions in her mind. "It may sound simple, but that is all because people who reach that level of strength can control the runic energy more uniquely, even to the point of controlling it as if it were another limb of their bodies."
It was true that Blake still didn't fully understand it, but it's not like he was too focused on finding out why since his mind was occupied with the idea of flying through the sky, he was already interested in the aircraft method, but he just to think that he could do it himself if he had enough strength, was quite shocking to him…
