Normally contributing to the flow o

Normally contributing to the flow of goods and money within the kingdom, they are also useful as means to maintain the supply and as strong war potential for raids during times of war.

There were 8 ships, including the spares as well, operating in the Helmut kingdom before we went to the capital.

Well, in fact, getting hold of a super large magic core from the undead ancient dragon allowed one magic airship to go into service successfully as the super large magic gem had been the final obstruction until now.

That ship has been named Lingaia, the continent we are inhabiting, and is currently advancing into practicing for battle.

Continuing onwards, it has by now become possible to place one ship into commission with the magic core left behind by Grade Grande. That ship is travelling an already existing course safely.

And now, it had already become possible to operate four ships with the two matching power sources of the underground ruins, the two magic cores left behind by the dragon golems and the available seven ships left behind at the underground ruins.

In other words, the potentially operating magic airships have been doubled to more than 20 ships thanks to us (T/N: don’t ask me how the author concluded that one). Furthermore the army is also advancing the development of a super large magic airship.

The military should considerably get the upper hand in regards to the northern Holy Empire Urquhart. That alone gives us the right to receive a reward.

If it’s the lot who reproaches Erw and Ina, I guess they don’t intend to accept the merit of luck.

“I guess so. Shall we return soon?” (Erwin)

Apparently even Erw thinks that it is already enough.

While wiping the sword with a cloth, he calls out to us.

“It appears to be a sword with a fine sharpness.” (Erwin)

“Well, you earned a lot of money and bought an excellent specialized weapon.” (Wendelin)

Erw purchased an excellent specialized weapon with the reward he acquired.

Or rather, Erw is looking at swords at the weapon shop in his spare time. He is owning 10 short swords including the spares as well.

Because he couldn’t use anything but a worn-out, tattered sword as legacy of his elder brothers during his childhood, he will usually end up wanting a new good sword against his better judgement.

“I don’t quite understand the quality of a sword, if I don’t use appraisal magic.” (Wendelin)

“You, aren’t you pretty much the child of a knight’s family?” (Erwin)

Erw laughs while partly complaining in jest to me, who is completely indifferent towards swords.

Certainly, until the age of 12 years, I didn’t miss a single morning to do basic training for around an hour.

But, since I was completely untalented, I ended up shifting to archery and magic nowadays.

“More or less. If a child is born, I will hire a good instructor for teaching.” (Wendelin)

I have the social rank of Baron for the time being after all.

Seeing that the possibility of genetically handing down the magic ability to the child is like a miracle, I thought that I should give the child a normal noble education.

“There’s no need for that as I will teach them.” (Erwin)

“Now that you mention it, Erw is my retainer after all.” (Wendelin)

Although it was only in name and unpaid since they had no achievements at all, it was decided that Erw’s gorup would become my retainers.

“But, you know. Since we obtained a large amount of money at great pains, shouldn’t we reclaim some territory?”

As for the kingdom, they are avoiding the act of buying peerage with money.

If you want to sell it to someone else, do you yield it to someone previously capable of inheriting it? Or do you adopt the inheritor? The logical move is to relinquish it to the kingdom.

Also, in regards to adopted children, for the sake of preventing the purchase of peerage with money by someone like upstart merchants, there are strict conditions in things like lineage etc. to become an adopted child.

In Erich-nii-san’s case it was relatively easy with having to be just recognized since nii-san was a noble’s child.
