Compared to Frelia who couldn't help but run up to him to ask, her mentor and Ash seemed much calmer, even able to hold it in.
I can hold back what's in my heart for so long...
Sean originally thought that Ash or Steele would come over to ask for advice next, and even prepared their answers, but they didn't come.
Moreover, during the one or two days when the airship was flying normally, the two sides seemed to be strangers to each other. They passed each other without saying hello. Only Frelia would occasionally turn her head and make a face, as if to remind Sean that she was still dissatisfied with her.
Flying from the port of Mersin to the Basaran Empire requires crossing high mountains, so the rest of the journey will not be so hot and may even be cooler.
Long before entering the mountains, the captain of the airship asked everyone to go to the next city to buy some thicker clothes. Even if they didn't buy clothes, it would be a good idea to put on a cloak, otherwise the nights in the mountains would be really cold!
And unlike at sea, the temperature difference between day and night can be huge.
There is no need to worry about Sean, as Lucille had already bought herself clothes suitable for this place.
That was the gentlemanly outfit in a black suit, which was also what Sean wore when he first met her... The little girl was quite nostalgic and always prepared such an outfit for Sean.
"Teacher, are we about to enter the Bashalan border?"
After a few days, Lucille seemed to have gotten used to the rhythm of the airship. Now she could bear the tinnitus and shaking every day, and it was the same as her situation at that time.
Once you get used to it, you'll start enjoying this high-altitude life...
When you look down at the entire ground from above every day, the feeling of tension, leg numbness, but also excitement will gradually become addictive.
It even makes people dream of flying...
"Yes, we are about to enter that country." Sean replied with a smile.
Basaran.
I have never been back since I left last time. Although the time and era are different, this period should be when the previous generation of Earl Hamilton was in power.
How could he have imagined now that more than ten years later, he would be unable to leave his room for years because of the torture, and eventually die in his own home, with nothing left behind!
What a mess...
Lucille looked at Sean who seemed to be thinking about something, so she asked curiously.
"Has the mentor ever been to this country before?"
"I've been here, but I'm not very familiar with it," said Sean.
Apart from Jagun, the place I am most familiar with is probably Basaran. After all, that is where I grew up.
"Is there anything fun here?" Lucille said.
For her age, traveling and having fun are still linked together.
"I'm not sure, I don't think there's anything fun here, but the people are special."
"special?"
"You'll find out slowly."
Although Sean didn't have a very good impression of Bashalan, he met a lot of people here after all, whether it was Frelia or Igonia, including the retainers of the Vigel family, all of whom were from this country.
Only they gave Sean a slightly positive impression of the country.
Although Lucille didn't know what Sean was thinking at the moment, she could tell from his expression that there were complicated reasons, and she suddenly became curious about this country.
…………
We entered the mountains after dusk.
Sure enough, the temperature dropped a lot after entering the forest, and even the evening wind began to get colder.
Lucille put on a skirt and shirt that she thought was pretty, and paired it with a wide cloak with a red hood... As for Sean, he was dressed in a black suit after all, and he had been keeping the aristocratic temperament for the past few years.
Even Ash and Steele, who were traveling with him, couldn't help but come over to talk to Sean one night when the airship was resting after seeing Sean's outfit and the interest and temperament he displayed.
Since airships cannot fly in complete darkness at night, and these roads are routes frequently traveled by people, even in mountainous areas without cities or villages, a stop guarded by five people will be set up to provide rest for the airships.
A place similar to a hunter's camp.
There is no one guarding the top of the mountain, and in fact, no one will be guarding it.
But people often come and go to stay here, so even the campsites in uninhabited areas do not look too deserted.
The fire stand, log house, platform and surrounding fence are all sound.
At nightfall, the airship workers would rest here with the guests... Since this was an area jointly managed by the airship workers, they were of course responsible for taking care of the food and cooking.
At night, by the bonfire.
Sean and Lucille had just finished their meal and were staring at the night sky in a daze when Ash, who had been silent for a long time, came over.
"I hope I didn't disturb you, Mr. Wizard." Ash always gave people the impression of being a very cultured wizard.
The feeling of being an aristocrat among wizards is that after all, they are scholars, and they look a little different.
"What's up?"
In fact, Sean made it clear that he didn't want to communicate with the other party when he boarded the ship, but because of Frelia's matter, he was still somewhat involved with them.
Fortunately, they haven't bothered me in the past few days, so I have some free time and am feeling relaxed...
"I just thought we should get to know each other better after being together for so long. To be honest, I was able to handle the previous things thanks to your help." Ash said politely.
In fact, it was not that they were unwilling to talk to Sean, but the ability he showed that day made Ash and Steele feel inferior. He could silently erase something and make it appear out of thin air!
This ability is beyond the scope of ordinary magic. Even Steele, who is very confident in himself, feels that he is incomparable. Therefore, the two of them have kept their distance from Sean as much as possible these days. The reason is that they cannot see through it. Another reason is naturally that Sean acted coldly at the beginning.
"My name is Ash. I'm from Elinta of the Bashalan Empire. I'm currently in charge of the affairs of the southern city of Koga, which is the city we're going to now." Ash introduced himself first.
Of course Sean knew all this information, it was nothing special.
"oh!"
The answer is still so simple and straightforward.
To be honest, Ash doesn't leave a very good impression on me, whether it's now or ten years later... But from his point of view, everything he does is not wrong.
He is not a villain, but a person who does things with principles!
It's a pity that his principles are often contrary to Sean's way of doing things, so the two of them often have disagreements.
"Actually, I have no ill will towards you. It's just that I don't like getting involved with other people. Also, I'm just passing through Koga City as a stopover... My destination is the western plateau."
Sean still told his plan.
