Chapter 1871 It's Moving! It's Moving!
Sebastien thought deeply during his time in Baymard. In summer time, a direct flight from: – Baymard to Arcadina takes: 6 hours, 24 minutes.
– Baymard to Carona: 9 hours, 47 minutes. – Baymard to Deiferus: 7 hours, 8 minutes. – Baymard to Yodan: 15 hours, 14 minutes. – Baymard to Terique: 15 hours, 5 minutes. …
Using these stats, he could travel from Arcadina to Another Pyno empire in under 3 days. Understand that all flights between Pyno empires must stop at Baymard's international Airport for a layover. So if he was going to Carona from Arcadina, the plane would first stop in Arcadina, where he would get a layover before boarding another plane to Carona. "What devilry is this?" The exclamation of a grizzly man echoed into Rudolf's open cabin. Beside the man was a flight attendant who was struggling to keep her professional demeanor. "Please sir, rest your heart, let me help you up." "No! No! No!" The crazed looking man rejected. "Lass, I, who prided myself as one of the greatest Zohl machine inventors, has been defeated by you all today!" After coming to Baymard, he realized how naive his invention was. Well, in the empire of Eraticus, he was the first one to invent the Plow.
He even thought he was the first person in the whole one to invent it, but knowing that Baymard had not only done so, but even improved on it. When he saw's Baymard's version in an Agricultural magazine one day, he got inspired and modified his plow greatly, which led to more unbelievable sales. Who would have known that in a span of a year and a half, he would become so super rich in Eraticus? All that time, he never left for Baymard, until now. In fact, only after coming here did he know how far behind in technology Eraticus was. His thinking was broadened after seeing so many unbelievable sites. You know… the thing that annoyed him the most was that Eraticus had not yet become an allied empire to Baymard. Damn! Only when one comes to stop Baymard do they know the benefits of getting that damn treaty signed. Is it fair? Why must he be subjected to such unfairness because his monarch hasn't signed a treaty yet? The more he knew, the more he felt like heading back to Eraticus and starting up a rally to force the Monarch's hand. From Libraries to simple gaming Cafes, treaty signed empires get more perks than him. Even when it came to flight discounts, they got more available options than he. "Blessings upon me! Bed softer than the Eraticus beds, walls lined with white and gold rims, buttons that automatically close the cabin doors… and what a marvelous way to fly." The man got into his cabinet, and soon, Sebastien and Rudolf could only hear ruffled noises from his end. .
Rudolf was already helping himself to the Mini bar that popped out when he pressed into a carved corner of his side table. There was again another big bag that had unique carpet slippers with the flight logo printed on them. There was also another bag with shaving cream, deodorant and all sorts of things.
Pajamas, you name it. The bed was originally a massive seat, but he lowered it into a bed and placed the pillows under another Cabinet on them. One button on the bed/chair automatically lowered or raised the 3 airplane windows, 2 other buttons controlled the lighting in the cabin… and finally, the last button would bring a staff over, in case they needed food or something. As for the TV, there is a TV remote for that. Already, Rudolf was munching on some snacks he took from the First Class Lounge. No, no, no… you don't understand. After entering the first class lounge, they were all offered private rooms where they could first keep their luggage in or even take naps in while waiting for their flight time to arrive. They arrived 3 hours earlier, so they indeed chose to take the rooms. After that, they ate and even got into the robes offered and headed to the Jacuzzi area to chill. Rudolf the foodie, had already gotten comfortable, now eating the PJs offered and even having the newly opened slippers accompany him on the bed. The TV remote was in his hand, the windows were open showering how high they were from the ground, and everything else was just peachy. Well… everything else except for the big elephant in the room. ...
"So, boss… what are you thinking?" Rudolf then lowered his voice and continued. "After seeing the true brilliance of Baymard's many ingenuities, I know understand why the other Pyno empires would fight so hard to send many guards over here to protect Baymard."
As Rudolf spoke, even Rudolf himself didn't notice his eyes turned scorching red when thinking of all they had seen after staying in Baymard. Indeed, new technology comes out almost every week here. The technology can be as simple as a new cookie cutter, or as mind boggling as the latest electric Bicycle that just hit the stores last week. When Rudolf was in Arcadina, he enjoyed rising his bucket, feeling superior to many. Bug only after touching the new electric bicycle, did he know what true improvement was. He also got to see what a real life Baymardian vehicle was too. From buses, to trains, to vehicles… Rudolf was indeed greedy for all, just as Sebastien was. Their plan was originally to only deal with Arcadina. But after witnessing Baymard's Beauty and cleverness, they understood that although Baymard wasn't strong it had the sort of brains to topple their plans. Tap, tap, tap, tap~
Sebastien calmly drummed his fingers, before slowly rising to his feet. "The time will come for them (Baymard) to fall, but not yet… for now, enjoy your flight." With that Sebastien headed to the cabin just opposite Rudolf's. And soon, the announcement came on, and everyone who had had their beds already laying flat, raised their beds back to seating position before fastening their seat belts as instructed. Soon, they felt a jolt of pressure pull them back, as their hearts began racing like crazy. "It's moving…" Several people murmured, feeling the slight vibrations of the aircraft gliding across the runway. First, it was slow, and then, it began to pick up the pace. Running! Running! Running! Whether it was those in economy, premium economy, business class or first class, everyone remained in knee-deep silence, feeling death closer to them than they ever thought. And soon… Whoosh! They were in the air.
