I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 774 - Where To Begin?

Hot air balloon ride?

What was that?

Jacob and the rest listened carefully, before staring at the T.V in a daze.

It took a while for them to come back to their senses before a massive explosion erupted from within their hearts.

Did the T.V lady just say that they would fly?

How was that even possible?

How could man fly?

Their bodies were now covered in goosebumps, as several thoughts pushed through their brains nonstop.

Right now, they couldn’t wait for tomorrow to come so that they could ride these Hot air balloon things.

The same could be said for everyone present in Baymard.

First off, ever since the creation of hot air balloons, only the military had used them within District B for training and whatnot.

Of course, the Navy and Marine forces had also taken them out for training too because it was good to have water air forces too.

They had even parachuted into the water and done other drills with them when training.

That said, during training, they always chose somewhat isolated regions for practice.

So even though people from far away might spot some round dot in the air, they didn’t necessarily know what it was.

Some didn’t even see the hot air balloons at all.

.

One shouldn’t forget that hundreds and thousands of years ago, Baymard itself was formed from a collection of cities, villages and towns.

It was originally an independent community ruled by its leader before it lost in battle against Arcadina’s first ruler who conquered all other communities in the empire.

So Baymard which was a collection of cities, towns and villages was extremely large.

That said, even if the hot air balloons were launched in district B (restricted zone), those within district C might not even see them.

Of course a year back, when the hot air balloon was created, Landon and the rest flew over all the districts, which caused a stir.

But the news quickly died down since no one had seen these hot air balloons again.

Some even said that the media was just making things up

After all, there were no pictures taken to prove it and those who didn’t see it found it more absurd when they listened to those who do see it.

Without any tangible proof, how could they believe that man could fly?

The whole thing died down in a blink of an eye.

But all this was also Landon’s careful thinking.

He only decided to make it public now because within these 2 months (August and September), he would’ve properly taken care of all enemies and properly reunite the Pyno continent.

Because even if spies or enemies saw these hot air balloons now, it would still take months to properly relay the message.

And by then, the enemies would’ve already been dead.

In just one more week, the soldiers would set out on the missions.

And in another 6 weeks, he would help Henry and clear out all problems in Deiferus as well.

So there was no harm in letting everyone know of the existence of these Hot air balloons.

.

Listening to the T.V, everyone’s nerves were on edge right now.

They felt like their little hearts couldn’t take all the shock that Baymard had to offer.

"Tomorrow, we definitely have to try it!"

"Hmhm.

We must fly!"

Jacob nodded and quickly bought out a pamphlet.

"Alright, we’ll do that tomorrow.

So let’s choose what to do today.

Here!

Let’s look at this tourist map.

Ouuuh! Follow current s on novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

Let’s go to the ’Murder House of Mystery’.

It’s voted as the 17th most visited tourist site.

Plus it involved a lot of brainstorming and crime-solving, so I like it."

"No! No! No!

Let’s check out the famous Baymard clock that’s as tall and big as an entire building.

Look here!

It says that the clock is named after the queen-mothers late father.

It’s called old Whilly and it’s the 36th most visited place.

We must go there first!"

"Oh my God, why are you all so boring?

Let’s check out the new Ski & Snowboarding resort.

It’s said here that they have an indoor room filled with ice and snow.

How can they have this in summer?

I must know the truth!

Anyway, it’s voted as the 6th most visited place, so we must go!"

"Hmph!

What do you know?

I can’t believe that you all are backward thinkers.

If we have to visit any place, then it must be the number one spot, His Majesty Landon’s mysterious Maze Garden.

I heard that it has so many trap doors that lead you to a whole new adventure.

After that, we can go on an exciting palace tour, which also happens to be the 2nd most voted activity to do.

So how can we see other places first?

No way!

I’ll literally die if we don’t!"

"_"

.

The group of men fought for a bit before finally settling on going to the palace.

But before that, they decided not to eat in their hotels.

Yes, they wanted to grab a bite at the famous ’Poseidon’s Palace’.

That’s right, it was a themed restaurant based on a character in one of Baymard’s storybooks.

Apparently, the restaurant was inspirational and created by the fantasies of many who envisioned what Poseidon’s palace would look like.

It was so famous that almost every noble in the Pyno continent knew of it.

Who didn’t want to eat in a God’s palace?

"Welcome, to Poseidon’s Palace.

A table for 4?"

"Yes please!"

"No problem.

Follow me please."

With that, the staff who was wearing a clear white Greek costume led them to a beautifully crafted table that looks like Zeus had christened it himself.

Jacob and the rest looked at the surrounding in awe.

There were beautiful indoor waterfalls and fountains all over the place.

And in the water, one could see a hand holding out a golden Tritan staff.

The ceiling also had various arts of Poseidon, giving the place an artistic feel to it.

Statues of soldiers in Greek attires all strategically standing against the walls, coupled with the clear floors made everyone feel like they had truly entered a God’s palace.

And the moment they ate the food on the menu, Jacob and the rest almost had their minds fly away.

From the crowd chicken wings to the specially cooked fried rice, pizzas, waffles, ice cream and sandwiches, everything was good..they ordered their main course meals, desserts and everything that intrigued them.

What was this?

Jacob looked at the pizza and wondered how they did it.

Was it made of bread?

The more he chewed, the more his mouth salivated.

Just like that, everyone lost themselves in sheer bliss.

The report didn’t lie.

This Baymard truly was a magical place with magical food!

And when they were done, they began their adventure towards the palace.

Of course, Jacob first stopped by his old estate and found that it had been used as an orphanage.

The whole place had been redesigned and it almost looks nothing like how he remembered.

Well, there was nothing he could say about this matter.

The estate was no longer his.

.

All 4 men enjoyed the rest of the day merrily before turning in for the night.

Tomorrow, they will ride on those hot air balloon thingies.

Of course, they weren’t the only ones who were excited to the point of sleepiness.

Back in the palace, the royals were also in a state of excitement.

Tomorrow, history will be made once more on Baymard Day.
