Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival [WN] - Chapter 158.2
Ron came here and found this tower, and it was Camille who found it.
Coincidentally or necessity, I heard that the two, who were in similar circumstances, were wary of each other at first, and then began to work together because they felt a mutual sympathy.
How did Ron end up in this tower? The reason why he arrived at the top of this tower.
“Ron, are the repairs going well?”
“Hey Aria, I’m about 90% done.”
It was there, on the roof of the tower, where it had collapsed and was exposed to the rain.
A hot air balloon – that woman’s “knowledge” inside me told me what it was.
It wasn’t a big one. It was small enough to fill the space with a few adults, but it should be possible for all of us to escape the desert using that.
I had never seen anything like a hot air balloon, even in the Kingdom of Cleydale. This was probably not simply because of the lack of technology, but because there were few means of countering the monsters in the sky, and they were not an option for transportation.
But it would seem that there were no large flying monsters such as griffons or wyverns in this region, and only Rank 2 giant eagles at most were around. Still, the balloon itself would be a threat enough to my knowledge, but they were able to cope with that by using demon leather as a material to increase strength.
However, using demon leather as a material, of course, makes it heavier. For this reason, instead of using ordinary fuel, they used magic stones with a fire attribute to create heat and gain buoyancy.
The Magic Stone I brought with me was for that purpose.
“I brought a Fire Magic Stone.”
“Thank you, that’s very helpful. This one eats a lot of fuel.
“How much more do you need?”
“Hmmm…”
Ron, who was working on repairing the hot air balloon, scratched himself lightly as he thought about the materials he had on hand and the itinerary.
“I think we’ll stay a little longer if we want to get to the safe zone of the Khalfaan empire. Conversely, if we just want to get there, we can go on as we are, but I don’t feel like we can spare the time.”
“Roger that. I’ll hunt or buy more when I find some.”
We decided to take this hot air balloon to the Khalfaan Empire. Fortunately, Ron and the others also wanted to get out of the city, which was getting a little shady.
So, we decided to work together, with Camille going to the ruins to gather materials to repair the balloon and for my alchemy, and me selling Potion in town to buy fire magic stones and food.
Ron was to concentrate on repairs with the materials we had gathered, while Elena was to take care of the children with Chaco and set up a foundation for their lives with light and water magic.
It would be advantageous for them, and Elena and I would appreciate such a retreat, since we could no longer use the town’s Inn due to hostilities with the Kirli Trading Company.
The plan was set. But fixing the balloon was a problem in itself.
It costs money to maintain a hot-air balloon. The balloon itself requires a heat-resistant armor lizard-type leather called “fire lizard,” but only the soft belly part could be used, and unless the balloon was of a certain size, it would require a lot of stitching, which would reduce its strength.
