62 Episode 62: The Sky King and His Inherited Name (1/2)
”Here is the Throne of the Sky King”
After that, the Kingsguard, who completely defeated us, accepted to lead us under the Sky King instead of fixing his gear, starting with wings.
”But it's you. I must say Lord Rex's arm as a technician is brilliant. Even in the castle, you can fly freely with your feathers!
Fly slowly down the aisle, which can never be said to be wide while the Kingsguard speaks pleasantly.
”Ha ha ha... you made the mistake of challenging someone who could provide this kind of technology at all costs...”
For some reason the laughter was raging, and I also felt kind of like self-inflicted abandonment.
”By the way, why is this castle so lame? Or, this isn't a castle, it's a fort in the first place...”
It's still going to take me a while to get to where the king is, so I asked him some questions about the discomfort I felt when I saw this castle.
”We don't know much about that either. His Majesty the First King of the Sky has ordained this a castle.”
Hmm, is that why you chose this place as your home base?
”But why are you so worn out?
Since I started chatting, Liliera also raises questions about this castle.
”It's...”
For a moment the Kingsguard sends his gaze to Mr. Carm, but he sighed and answered the question because Mr. Carm did not respond at all.
”The rocks and minerals on this empty island have a special composition, and we have a little problem processing them.”
Oh, you mean gravium.
”I used to have the means to do something about them, but now I've lost that technology too. So they're staying here with this kind of first aid.”
Indeed, if a material containing gravium that rises even with a slight amount of magic were used as building material for a building, only that part would rise.
Even if the first one was fixed with a type of adhesive that was connected, if the area kept moving to rise again and again, any of it would break and fly into the sky.
I'm sure there have been such instances in the past, so I guess I just gave up restoring the fort.
”You kept using this place as your home base, even in that state.”
Yes, Mr. Liliera is right, I guess there was still a reason I had to use this place as my home base.
Is it a matter of location, or did you need something from this fort?
The question is getting more and more instead of solving it.
... but well, I wonder if that's exciting because it sounds like an adventurer's journey at it.
Disappeared sky continents and mysterious species, and semi-destructed fortifications.
It's like the stage of a story.
This is a mysterious on-parade that recalls the adventures of the Undersea Labyrinth, one of the most popular episodes of the story of the Great Swordsman Rygaard!

”This is the throne of His Majesty the King of the Sky.”
”This is it?
To call it the door between the thrones, it's a normal door.
And the Kingsguard knocks on the door.
”Your Majesty, it's Baldy”
Oh, the Kingsguard is named Baldy.
”... in”
”Excuse me, sir.”
When I hear a response from inside, the Kingsguard, no, Mr. Baldy, goes in first.
”Please come in”
Mr. Carm prompted us, so as he followed through, Mr. Carm followed us from behind and shut the door.
”This is...”
The first thing I saw in my eyes when I entered the room was a bunch of armor placed narrowly between the walls.
It was as if they were knights escorting the Lord, intimidating the man who entered the room.
”I mean, this...”
”That was late. Did you capture illegal immigrants?
A voice heard from the front raises my consciousness, which had been taken from me by the armor.
A large desk was placed in the back of the room, with one man sitting behind it.
That's the sky...... king?
That was just the king.
He was a king looking man with a crown on his head and a red cape from his shoulder.
However, the appearance was too disproportionate for this room.
Anyway, this room is just a work room, no matter what you think.
The big desk seemed like a pretty good thing, but that was only on the level that the head of the fort was supposed to sit on, and it didn't look very much like a throne or desk for a king to sit on.
”Your Majesty, we've brought guests who need you from afar.”
That's right, Mr. Baldy will introduce us.
”This is Lord Liliera, accompanied by Lord Rex, the magic item engineer of the journey.”
”Guests? Magic Item Technicians? What are you talking about? The rest of your orders are to arrest illegal immigrants, right? Why did you bring these suspicious people here? The rest of you didn't give those orders, did you?
Well, I don't know if that's what you're gonna want to say.
”Well, that's... this Lord Rex is a very skilled technician, and it's up to us to consider him a very beneficial person for our country.”
”Tell me what's wrong with that! I ordered you to capture the rest! Get them now!
But against the order of the Sky King, Mr. Carm and the others do not try to move at all.
”What's wrong!? Why don't you listen to the rest of the orders?”
The King of the Sky rages at Mr. Carm for not obeying orders.
”As a matter of fact, these people were incredibly strong, and even though our Knights hit them in total, they didn't have any hands or feet.”
”So do our Kingsguard Knights...”
I bow my head to the Sky King saying I'm sorry for Mr. Carm and Mr. Baldy.
”You can't win!?”
He looks at me with a face like the Sky King is incredible.
”Here we go, Your Majesty. I'm a traveling adventurer and my name is Rex.”
Let's just say hello with a smile.
You told me that Mr. Carm and the others couldn't win in bundles, so I wouldn't be doing any weird imitations.
And I thought, Sky King's reaction was the exact opposite of my expectations.
”Shut up, Shiro! It's disrespectful to talk to every civilian!
Well, that pissed me off.
Looks like this was more noble than I can talk to you about.
The aristocracy is divided into aristocrats who push their own conveniences only to know what they know about the commoners anyway.
Most nobles don't care about civilians, but the former have a conversation if it's in their own interest.
But the latter doesn't matter about profits or situations, and I don't listen to people who are in a lower position than I am anyway.
Those who are in a better position than themselves believe in completing it once they are commanded.
Therefore, if you do not carry out the order, you will have a seizure like a child.
That's the way it is now.
”Who do you think is left! The rest will be descended from the great Seraphium royal family, who have ruled the Sky Continent since the days of the Devil's War!!”
Here it is.
If I don't get what I want, I'll bring up the name of the house anyway.
I'm really sick of patterns......
”Seraphium royal?
I overheard the name. [M]
”That's right! He was once the great and only ruler of the Sky Continent, the Seraphium Royal!
”What's that?
No, really. What is that?
”Hey, what!?”
