After arriving at the capital of the Kite Kingdom, I was surprised to find that the captain of the airship didn't actually leave.
"We have been stationed here to transport you when necessary, holy son. If you need to go anywhere, please contact us at any time. Though from time to time, we will need to get more supplies from the empire to refuel the airship."
The last part of his words seemed like there was some kind of implication.
As if he wanted me to go with him back to the Holy Empire when they needed more supplies.
In a sense, this could be considered an exchange…
They were lending us this airship for the price of me heading to the Holy Empire from time to time.
However, the offer really was hard to refuse.
The airships were actually faster than the wyverns, which made it a good travel option when necessary. It was at least three times faster than the wyverns, which meant that it would save quite a bit of time when it was needed.
