284 Over the sea 1 (1/2)

-I want to be rich so my father doesn't have to worry about money.-

That was her answer when she was asked why she wanted to become a merchant. Most daughters of nobles only dreamed of getting married to a wealthy family or a rich merchant with no choice of their own. But with the Khalodian Empire, the world changed, and so did she.

'The emperor made nobility to fall, but he gave the next generation a chance to spread their wings and live their own lives…!'

Colec Entro thought as he stared at his secretary in a daze.

”Boss? What are you thinking about? You're smiling like a perv.”

Dnes snapped at Colec who had a creepy smile on his face.

”What?”

”Don't tell me you want to…”

”Shut up! Get back to your work. Work! Work!”

”Haha, okay boss.”

And they got back to their work to continue the excavations.

”I-it looks like an aircraft carrier!”

A seagull dove down into the sea and captured a fish. Unlike the past, most fish had grown to the average length of a meter, and on average seagulls now had a fifteen-meter wingspan.

”Incoming!”

Because of their size, seagulls did not hesitate to attack humans. Guns fired and the seagull dropped to the ground with a hole in its head. Since it was still viciously struggling, it required a few more shots to finally put it down.

”It is terrifying.”

Arwen then turned back to the sea, as did Gedenkroy, the young chieftain of the Magnos. Arwen, son of Howen, was the new leader of the Ainos Guard.

”So, is that an aircraft carrier?”

”Yes. That is one of the aircraft carriers from the United States of America. Why is it here…?”

Colonel Kim Hyukjoo was confused as he checked through his binoculars.

”The United States? The strongest country in the world?” Gedenkroy mumbled. He had obtained this through the various information that Joonbum shared in the past.
