Sword Art Online's
Chapter 11's
The distance between the capital of the Human World, Centoria to the capital of the Dark Territory, Obsidia was about 3000 kilolu. It takes 3 days with a dragon to pass 3000 kilolu. One month by riding a horse carriage, and 2 times if on foot.
During the First Foreign World War, Leader Vector, The leader of the darkness army moved 50 thousand troops from Obsidia to the Great East Gate within 5 days using some kind of special medicine and secret technique from his dark arts master, he said, this leads to increased life for anyone taking their medication.
But there are people who do not take their medicine for using a horse-drawn carriage or riding it, but people who walk until that day the life is getting less and less, and the Cathedral pastors worked hard to find an accurate way to restore it.
The Prime Swordsman of the Human World, Kirito quickly decided to go to Obsidia to overcome this emergency situation, naturally by riding a dragon. The Aerial Element flying technique used to go from the Cathedral to the security office in South Centoria at the time spent a lot of sacred power, so it can not be used too long in the Dark Territory with a small number of sources.
But he had no mount, so he needed to ride either Renri or Dusolbert's dragon. Although it can be for a capacity of 2 people, still the dragon will be exhausted
although it was fast, so I could not ask him to take me with him— and Ronye had already given up even though Tieze had not said it yet.
After all, at least he wanted to help in preparing for his journey. Ronye went to the dragon stables on the 30th floor of the Cathedral where there was also the room of the Prime Swordsman himself. Asuna greeted him and said “Kirito-kun is in the arsenal” with a warm and also agitated facial expression.
Having the same feeling of worry as the Vice-Prime Swordsman, he ran downstairs, what used to be a prison, and down the wide, sloping floor,he looked inside behind the giant door on the left that opened.
Inside is a spacious place about 30 mel with on the left and right there are about 5-6 blacksmiths and priests with a boisterous sound of hammer knocking. And in the middle was a huge artifact that glittered due to the light of countless tens of candles. It was “The Naga” Machine, an iron dragon similar to Prototype 1, which caused a huge explosion back then, and there were the machining masters, Sadore and Kirito talking to him…they look like they are crying out to each other.
“How many times have you said that, Kiri-boy! This little baby is still in the process of adjusting! Full flight is impossible, you should also understand dong!”
“Let the master, at the moment I will just fly straight, just change the wings with a wider one, so it can easily glide in the air!”
“Gosh, what are you talking about, son? My little baby's destination is to the capital of the Dark Territory! No, we've never tested the flight, I suddenly have to admit there's someone who will fly it 6000 kilolu?!”
“It's okay! Currently, the thermal element is locked in a solid container and 2x the size of version 1, and the master has carefully repaired the body, even though I flew 10 thousand kilolu, too, won't throw it, what do you think?”
“In cases like this only you can not force it, the level of fragility ..no no! Forgetit. Every time I hear that prank from your mouth, it gets even more troublesome than Oonumaab's sting on my ass!”
Hearing their conversation, Ronye's face felt hot. There was no other way for Kirito to ride a dragon without a trainer, he wanted to fly to Obsidia with a version2 dragon engine.Suddenly strange thoughts appeared in his head, Ronye shook his head and immediately approached the two of them.
“That's dangerous Kirito-senpai! As Sadore-shi said, what will happen if you force it!”
“Oh, Ronye, don't get too close or the oli-oli will stick to your shirt.”
Kirito pulled Ronye's left hand from the dragon's machine at about 50 cen. Kirito laughed softly then strengthened his expression.
“Well, maybe you already know the situation. But I had to, by force, fly by myself. Because all the knights are busy and I can't have them take me to Obsidia. It takes 1 month by riding a horse.The situation will be more tense than we think, if we do not immediately tell about this situation to the Dark Territory as soon as possible, this may be too late.”.
“...but, it is dangerous, senpai..”.
Ronye tried to persuade Kirito with a little closer to him.
“The janitor Yazen-san's killer put his crimes in the hands of the mountain goblin Oroi who is no longer bound by the Strongest Law, then, they will target you who left Centoria, it's possible that by then they'll trap you while going to Obsidia, senpai!”
“Oh..ya..it is possible..”.
As he muttered with a serious expression. Kirito closed his mouth and thought of something. And what broke the silence was a loud sigh from Sadore.
“So.I also, you know, exchange the skills and knowledge of blacksmiths from the Dark Territory. At that time this world was like a dream, and I don't want to go back to the past.”
“Hey...although oji-san is a master, you still need to learn huh?”
Hearing Kirito's statement, Sadore scrunched his face and rubbed his beard of ashes.
“Unfortunately yes. The sword and armor of the dark forces on the battlefield, was a great work of art. To begin with they used real iron, the type I don't know.until now we don't know where the source is and the method of manufacture."
Sadore tapped on the plate outside the glittering silver dragon machine with his big hand filled with many scars and said.
“...Kiri-boy, the pressure meter of the thermal element has reached 80%. So be sure to open the injection lower”
“Oh it's really a master!."
“T-please wait a minute!”
Ronye hastily interrupted their conversation.
“Although the safety of his dragon is guaranteed, there is still a danger that threatens if senpai is attacked! Going alone to the Dark Territory, it's too.”.
As he said that, Ronye looked at the peak of the dragon machine and saw something that instantly made his mouth speechless. The glass surrounding his iron seat—which seems to be called ‘cockpit’—looks longer than version 1. Staring at him seriously, he noticed that there was another seat behind the cockpit.
“...ano..senpai”
“...why?”
“Is this version 2 can be for 2 people?”
“Hm..although the cryogenic element supplier from version 1 could not catch it and instead exploded, which should be able to, its cooling ability is enough to fly straight even with only one person.”.
Ronye interrupted again Kirito's explanation, which would probably be a bad sign. With throbs.
“I understand senpai, in order to ascertain the danger of death threats, I will file myself to make sure.”
“Apply yourself?"
“As senpai said earlier, everything up to the highest knight is busy, so as an apprentice knight, I will take responsibility in this mission!”
"Er...err?"
“In addition, I can help monitor the thermal element!”
"Eeeee~~r!?"
Before Kirito refused, Ronye clenched his right hand and put it on his chest, then his left hand held the handle of his sword, did the official greeting of a knight, and he declared his consent permission.
Seeing Kirito flickering in confusion, Sadore laughed happily instead.
“You lost to Kiri-boy, even so, Ronye-jochan does not look doubtful.”
Although Ronye had to get Kirito's permission, starting from here to get serious.Of course, this was the first time for him to visit Obsidia, the capital of the Dark Territory, but he also had no experience being Kirito's right-hand man. The least he could do was finish his preparations, while tidying up his clothes and accessories in his room on the 22nd floor after returning from the armory.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door of his room, and Ronye thought it was Tieze who would go straight into his room, then he exclaimed ‘ya!’
“Nothing, let me help prepare your stuff..”
When he heard the sentence and opened the door, the one standing behind him was not his red-haired best friend, but a beautiful Swordswoman with chestnut hair and her silver knight attire.
"Ah ...... Asuna-sama!"
Asuna smiled gently and hurriedly stopped Ronye as she was about to salute him.
"Sorry to interrupt your time, Ronye-san. There's a place I want you to see for a minute.”
“...yes, where is it?”
Ronye then nodded and went out into the corridor walking behind Asuna.Kalau at the Sword Mastery Academy in North Centoria, if there are students of higher level who allow the way, if there are students of higher level, the situation would be surrounded with some students behind the school building and said
“aren't you a little disrespectful?."
but that will not happen at the Cathedral.
