"Then when are you planning to go to Beldyran? You are right, this kind of thing should be explained as soon as possible, otherwise once the Queen dies, it will be too late for you to go to Beldyran... It is best to leave tomorrow."
Hathaway sat by her bed, urging Jenkins cautiously.
"If I want to go to Beldylan, at least I have to wait until the church allows me to return to Nolan, but I don't know when it will take."
said Jenkins, before getting an update from Miss Bevanna later that night:
"Pack your luggage. Tomorrow evening, a steam airship will land in the mountainous area south of Loen. The Diocese of Loen will arrange for you to board that airship and go to Beldyran."
"Leave tomorrow? Why so suddenly?"
Jenkins, who was talking to Miss Bevanna through the Basin of Delusion, asked in surprise.
"I don't know if you are aware of what happened in Nolan on Wednesday. In short, the diocese thinks that it is best for Nolan to have a Holy Son stationed there for a long time, and you are originally from the Nolan diocese. It is not normal for you to stay in Ruen for a long time. Things. Your Loen vacation is over, and the airship will take you to Beldyran to report on your duties first, and then you will arrange for you to come back by steam locomotive."
Miss Bevanna said, and then she did not forget to ask:
"I heard from my father that you have been living in the manor of the royal princess? Remember to say hello to the princess before you leave, and thank others for hosting you. This relationship is very important, even if you return to Nuo Lan, you can also write to keep in touch. And Mr. Rosière from Ruen Diocese used to be from Norlan, don't forget... "
Jenkins didn't remember exactly what Miss Bevanna said afterward. He was shocked by the sudden arrangement of leaving Loen City, and he was extremely reluctant to part with Alexia and Dolores. Even though he knew that he could come back anytime, this short one and a half months of life still made him developed feelings for the city.
After returning to the manor, he told the ladies that he was about to leave. They were also surprised by Jenkins' sudden transfer, but they didn't show much reluctance.
"You can come back anytime, is there any difference between being in Ruen and being in Nolan?"
asked the short lady in Jenkins' bedroom that night.
"Just don't forget about us. I know that Nolan still has two beautiful girls waiting for you."
She said that on purpose, and then watched Jenkins explain awkwardly that she was bound to come back often.
Beldyran's transfer order soon spread to Loen, and the Church of the Sages in Loen also knew that the Holy Son was about to leave, and even wanted to arrange a luncheon in the church to see him off, but he refused.
Jenkins didn't have much luggage to pack. When he came to Northland because of the "accident" of chocolate, he only had his cat and a suit of clothes on him, but when he left, Dolores prepared a large number of Loen specialties and personal clothes for him.
On Friday evening, the long convoy carried Jenkins and his party into the southern mountains, through winding canyons to the parking platform of the airship built by human power.
This is a building complex similar to the airport in Jenkins' impression that it took 3 years to build in the snow-capped mountains with money from the local church and the royal family of Loen. It is specially designed to allow the airship to dock and take off conveniently.
Part of the carriages in the convoy came from the Church of the Sages. The Diocese of Loen attached great importance to Jenkins’ departure, and the old local bishops all came to see him off; the other part of the carriage was hired by Dolores to pull Jenkins’ luggage. A lot of things were prepared, some of which were his clothes, and some were gifts he gave to Nolan's relatives and friends.
"The carrying capacity of the floating airship should be limited, right? Can you allow me to bring so many things up?"
Jenkins on the carriage was still thinking so worriedly, but the carriage stopped, and he met the middle-aged priest Follett who specially picked him up from Beldyland, and the latter made him rest assured to take all the things he wanted to take away Walk:
"We are here to pick you up this time. Apart from you, there are only some workers, servants and guards on the airship. The airship is very empty, so you don't have to worry about it."
Soon Jenkins saw the crystallization of industrial products and creativity of this era. The airship was parked on a large platform similar to a mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and directly facing the empty sky on the other side.
As the sun set, the dim yellow light shone on the surface of the airship, making it seem to flicker.
People who saw the airship for the first time couldn't help being stunned. This is the most outstanding creation of human civilization in this era, and it is also the only means for ordinary people to fly into the sky.
Alexia, who was accompanying her, was very interested in the airship. While Jenkins was saying goodbye to everyone, she quietly called out her own blue cube representing the "Principle of Mathematics", and let the light on it project to the surface of the airship.
Jenkins said goodbye to the people who saw him off, and when he shook hands with Earl Biden who appeared here for some reason, the Earl kept reminding him that he must remember to meet Her Majesty the Queen during his stay in Beldyland.
"Aren't you surprised that I left in an airship? This kind of transportation is not easy to use."
He asked Count Biden.
"Surprised? Why should you be surprised? I've heard about Nolan. The city hall decided to hold a joint prayer event with the church to pray for the innocent people who died due to various disasters in the past six months. The church thinks you are very popular among young people. You have a reputation, and the city hall also felt that it should find a younger person with aristocratic status as the host, so it urgently took you back... "
The luggage was transported to the interior of the airship one by one, and the inspection work for the airship to take off again was also proceeding in an orderly manner. The passenger entrance to the airship deck is at a very high position, but it does not have a structure similar to a folding ladder. A towering solid wooden staircase with pulleys at the bottom was wheeled alongside the airship, and Jenkins stood on the side of it, taking a last look at the glorious sunset over the mountains.
Alexia, Dolores, and Julia stood together, next to people Jenkins knew in Loen. He waved to his friends again, then turned and led the cat up the stairs.
When taking off, the wind pressure was very strong, so no one was allowed on the deck. Jenkins had to enter the cabin, so he could only stand on tiptoe on the deck and look down for the last time, waved goodbye to everyone, and then heard Earl Biden Regardless of the image, he shouted below:
"Don't forget! Don't forget!"
