Chapter 294 Return (2/2)
Said the princess.
Seeing Gloria walking back, she told Gloria to ride in her carriage.
“You can protect me while in the carriage like when we came, can’t you?”
Gloria was feeling obliged but at the end, lost to the pushy princess, decided to ride back together.
As the carriage started moving, the 4 guards naturally came closer. They were to guard till the royal palace.
“He was a mysterious guy, huh?”
Inside the carriage, the princess and Gloria were talking about Jin and the others.
“Yes, he is the Honorary Magi craftsman of Egelia kingdom but had a many riddles to him, didn’t he?”
“Hmm. But, I felt that he was not a man who would bring harm to our country.”
“I feel the same as well.”
The carriage went on the stone paving. Looking outside the carriage, the princess was recalling the golem incident the other day.
It was because the builds and the road before her was being repaired.
The hole which Jin created to drop the golems and the wall which cracked from Jessica’s ‘flame lance’.
“We did compensate them but didn’t yet decide on Jessica’s punishment, huh…? I guess she’ll have to go without 3 months worth of salary.”
In this case, it was a custom that the salary cut would be reduced to half. Gloria could almost imagine Jessica’s face on the verge of tears.
“She would be perfect if not for that.”
“Hmm. She has great leadership, judgement and sword skill. On top of that, she is also popular. If only she could control her magic.”
Because of the fact that it won’t be much of a problem in the battlefield, she is still the captain.
“Talented people are important, after all.”
The princess muttered earnestly.

The carriage with Jin and the others on rode fast through the highway.
“Ah, yes, Jin-nii’s carriage is really different.”
Elsa said with a satisfied face.
“It feels really nice to ride.”
Hanna expressed how the quality of the ride was so good on Jin’s golem carriage.
After riding for quite a while, Jin contacted Laojun through Reiko.
“Father, Condor 3 who developed stealth is on standby in the sky.”
“Hm…. Wait, 3?”
Condor was only supposed to be upto 2. When did it increase to 3?
“It seems like there is a large scale warp gate in Condor 3. If we use that, we can return to Kunlun mountains with the whole carriage.”
They didn’t connect directly to Hourai island in case of the worst-case scenario.
“I see. As expected of Laojun, he is fast with the preparations.”
Jin was content with his subordinate’s work.
He thought of blindfolding Hanna but then decided to stop.
He wanted to bring Hanna like this here from now on as well and he also wanted her to know his true identity.
“Hanna, we will be going to the Kunlun island with the whole carriage now, alright?”
“Eh? O-okay.”
She was confused for a moment there but soon nodded. The things Jin says he can do, he really does do, after all.
The carriage steered off the highway and went on down a somewhat bad road. However, due to the active suspension from the golem’s arm, they felt next to no vibration.
After going through that road for about 10 minutes, they got out onto a gaping wide grassland.
“That is Condor 3.”
As Reiko said that, Condor 3 appeared, deactivating its stealth.
“Waah! So big! What, is that?”
“….Did you, make this too, Jin-nii?”
Hanna was honestly astonished and Elsa immediately thought of the Pelican 1 she rode before but after looking properly, she saw it almost looked completely different.
But even then, the aura coming from its body or maybe the state of magic tools inside it made Elsa feel that it fell into the same category as Pelican 1.
That also showed how much Elsa grew as a magi craftsman.
The carriage slowly went into the large warp gate Condor 3 created.
The ones riding the carriage felt complete darkness only for a moment. The carriage had teleported through a few hundred kilometers and arrived at the Kunlun island.
