63 Episode 62 Departure.txt (1/2)
About 20 days later, a fine road was completely completed.
At the same time we made the dragons. I made eight of them. It's a fairly large cart, with a payload of about 4 tons. The forest dragon was able to pull this huge cart by itself, and it was able to go very fast.
Now that the roads were clear and the cart was ready, Beramus wanted to go negotiate with the elven country.
Basically, he did not want to leave the city, but for once he had to. Only he could speak Elvish, and without him there would be no bargaining.
I'm a little nervous, but I've decided to go, leaving the town in the hands of Medina and Arraune's leader, Elency.
We're going to trade what we're going to get from the Beresdral with the surplus meroons we have left over because we've increased our farm, the wood we acquired when we were building our roads, and the chairs and desks we made from the wood.
I was hoping to get some sweet food and high quality weapons from the elven kingdom of Famar, as I was not sure if there were any luxuries, especially sweet things at all.
For our first deal, we decided to bring as much Merune as we could. It's a rare vegetable and it's delicious, so it should be worth a lot. Since it's made with magical water, the production is high in Ichiban and there's quite a bit left over.
We'll set a course of action and decide to come back in five days or so.
I told Aretha and Delarosa at dinner.
”I'm coming with you!
That's what Bellamus was expecting to hear.
”It's quite a long trip, isn't it?
I'm fine! I've always wanted to go out of town.
Yeah. Well, you can come.
I don't have to say no to anyone, so I agree. Furthermore.
”I'll go with you if you go.
