That was her answer when she was asked why she wanted to become a merchant . Most daughters of n.o.bles only dreamed of getting married to a wealthy family or a rich merchant with no choice of their own . But with the Khalodian Empire, the world changed, and so did she .
'The emperor made n.o.bility to fall, but he gave the next generation a chance to spread their wings and live their own lives…!'
Colec Entro thought as he stared at his secretary in a daze .
"Boss? What are you thinking about? You're smiling like a perv . "
Dnes snapped at Colec who had a creepy smile on his face .
"What?"
"Don't tell me you want to…"
"Shut up! Get back to your work . Work! Work!"
"Haha, okay boss . "
And they got back to their work to continue the excavations .
"I-it looks like an aircraft carrier!"
A seagull dove down into the sea and captured a fish . Unlike the past, most fish had grown to the average length of a meter, and on average seagulls now had a fifteen-meter wingspan .
"Incoming!"
Because of their size, seagulls did not hesitate to attack humans . Guns fired and the seagull dropped to the ground with a hole in its head . Since it was still viciously struggling, it required a few more shots to finally put it down .
"It is terrifying . "
Arwen then turned back to the sea, as did Gedenkroy, the young chieftain of the Magnos . Arwen, son of Howen, was the new leader of the Ainos Guard .
"So, is that an aircraft carrier?"
"Yes . That is one of the aircraft carriers from the United States of America . Why is it here…?"
Colonel Kim Hyukjoo was confused as he checked through his binoculars .
"The United States? The strongest country in the world?" Gedenkroy mumbled . He had obtained this through the various information that Joonb.u.m shared in the past .
"An aircraft carrier is like an island in its own right . "
"Yeah, Arwen . I heard people can stay on the s.h.i.+p for tens of years . "
"Is it abandoned?"
"I think it is . "
The discovery of an aircraft carrier was like a goldmine . If it had everything in it intact, then it would be an amazing bonus .
'If we can use it, we can sail around the entire Earth . '
"Call headquarters, we need a scout team!"
"Yes, sir!"
Hectos, the commander of the Southern army, guessed, "I think the seagulls have taken it as their nest . "
"Then we'll get rid of them . "
The height and sheer size of the aircraft carrier must have been a good choice for the seagulls to use it as their nest .
"We have fis.h.i.+ng boats here but most of them are damaged . There are none that we can use . "
"Can we fix them?"
"I think we have a few that we can salvage, sir . "
The scout team arrived while they were planning everything . It consisted of about five hundred people, but that wasn't a lot considering that they had to go up on the deck to fight monster seagulls .
"Launch the boats!"
They began preparing rubber boats . Those were uncovered from the destroyed caves .
"Let's go!"
Hectos rose up and Arwen and Gedenkroy made their way to the boats .
Eighty boats began moving towards the aircraft carrier and seagulls began aggressively flying over them . Guns were fired and seagulls began to drop into the sea .
