Now I feel that it was very correct to cooperate with Lanya in the beginning, especially when I see the royal airship in front of me with the Blue Moon Company logo on it, I have the impulse to just follow Lanya and start a company. From what I see, this airship may not be as heavily armed and armored as Dale's, but its nearly perfect streamlined design and magnificent exterior decoration look valuable no matter how you see it. Airships like this actually don't even need armaments, just high speed, stability, and comfort can fetch a high price. After all, even with cars, there are luxury and sports editions.
But I am not going to join the management team of Blue Moon Company. After all, I am not good at things like management. With my spending habits, I could probably bankrupt a company in a matter of days. So, it's better to leave such matters to the professionals.
"Eh?"
From a distance, I saw the green names of my teammates next to the airship. When I walked closer, I realized that Bai Yueguang, Dale, Taishi Xi, and Aliyah were all waiting next to the airship.
"You guys are so slow!"
Aliyah complained.
"We've been waiting for so long!"
"Come on, we are diligently teaching classes, unlike you all, just slacking off."
"Tsk, teaching them is just sparring with them, isn't it?"
"So you're happy that we got called out, at least we don't have to attend classes."
"Well..."
Aliyah shrugged.
"By the way, how's the new one? Oyado says she's still very shy."
But hearing Aliyah's words, I did remember that Aliyah didn't have any extreme reactions after Nana arrived this time. Although I didn't know why, it was a good thing.
After all, the less random ruckus, the better.
"She's okay, but she's getting slightly more accustomed recently."
Aliyah also knew Nana was a dragon, even if I didn't say it, everyone could see her title and everything.
So, Aliyah was referring to whether Nana was adapting to human life. On this, I only had one thing to say.
"Except for sleeping for two days straight each time, she's pretty well adjusted."
That's right, I've heard that some dragons can sleep for decades at a stretch, and although Nana is a small dragon, her minimum sleeping time is at least two days, and it's the kind that not even dozens of alarms can wake her up from.
Regarding this, I could accept it, after all, it reduces the food bill, considering that dragons eat quite a lot. But fortunately, as long as it's meat, it can be cooked in any way, otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to feed her.
"The airship is ready. Please board."
A person descended from the airship, and at a glance, he was wearing a black suit with white gloves. Looking at the title above his head, he turned out to be a pilot!
"Because the Empire already has a large number of airships, we specially sent a group of qualified students to Blue Moon to learn airship piloting techniques. These are the first batch of students who have completed basic piloting training."
Seeing my surprised expression, the person next to me, Lanshi, immediately explained.
"Special pilots, huh? What about the ones who were in charge of piloting before..."
"Those were all pilots provided by Blue Moon Company, and we had to pay for them. It's not that we can't afford it, but because there are too many airships and they don't have enough staff to spare."
"I see."
Regardless of this trend, I feel like there will soon be a dedicated combat airship squadron. Although there have been nobles who have formed similar teams before, to be honest, the number of airships they have is not that many. Just look at the stars; that's what a true airship formation should look like.
Hmm, maybe I'll suggest to Dale to develop an aircraft carrier...
Led by the maid, we all entered the airship. The decorations inside were indeed incomparable to the airships owned by Dale. This is what you call grandeur. If I hadn't just walked in through the cabin door, I wouldn't have thought I was inside an airship at all.
The decorations inside seemed to be modeled after the palace's interior design, making it feel like stepping into a royal palace.
"This way, please."
Guided by the maid, we entered the passenger cabin inside the airship, where the decor was similar to a reception hall in the palace, just on a smaller scale.
"Please be seated, we should arrive at our destination in about 20 minutes."
With that, the pilot bowed and exited the room.
As soon as we sat down on the sofa, we saw the scenery outside moving downwards, indicating that the airship had taken off.
I didn't feel a thing—was this all due to technology or magic?
"It seems like the stabilizer has been successfully developed..."
Dale next to me remarked to Mary.
"Yes, it's almost complete; although sometimes it can be a bit unstable, but adding a few more should do the trick."
Looking at Mary's expression, I suddenly felt sorry for whoever bought this airship. After all, if it was new technology developed by these guys, it definitely wouldn't come cheap.
"Speaking of which,"
I looked at Blue on the opposite side.
"The Dragon Clan came here to discuss the Dragon's Tomb with the Human Clan, right? If that's the case, why bring us along?"
"It was originally like that. The Dragon Clan specifically requested for the leaders of the Human Clan to discuss, but, our Emperor mentioned your entry into the Dragon's Tomb, so the other party expressed a desire to meet with you as well."
"You old man, can't you just cut to the chase? What's the point of springing this on me now?"
I sighed and then asked, "I heard that there were three members from the Dragon Clan who came, so, the blue dragon is one of them, right?"
"No, the blue dragon came with an angel. They mentioned something about being 'keepers of order'."
"This should be related to the ancient treaty they mentioned before, right? The agreement between the Dragon Clan and the Human Clan not to invade each other, but with this incident, the treaty might be on the verge of being broken."
"Does that mean the Dragon Clan might be able to enter the human world? Could legendary Dragon Knights and such reappear?"
Princess Cher beside me chuckled and said, "Not necessarily. When the treaty was first established, whatever events occurred then and what the current situation is, we do not know. However, based on my observations, just one dragon from the Dragon Clan could already give a legion a run for its money. If the Dragon Clan were to attempt to conquer the human world, it might be the worst-case scenario."
"It... couldn't be, right?"
Princess Cher's face stiffened.
"It better not be that way because, you see, the current combat strength of humans is still too weak, unless it's improved..."
As I said that, a chill ran down my spine.
Improving human strength...
I remembered Snake Eye's words to me before, about raising human strength... Although I didn't know what had happened before, since the end of the ancient era, the strength of humans had declined significantly.
Could it be that Snake eye wants to restore the strength of humanity in this world to the level of ancient times? What the hell are they up to? Are they crazy? Do they consider the whole world as a virtual game of life?
"Ding, we are about to reach our destination, please sit properly to prevent falling."
I looked out the window and was also stunned.
On the ruins that were destroyed by the Black Dragon in the past, a huge dragon head mountain has now covered it, and on top of the mountain peak, you can still see a dragon shadow flying.
"Interesting."
Dale beside me suddenly said, seemingly coming up with some mysterious idea.
And the spacecraft began to descend slowly.
