1785 The Powerful Baymardians

So it was true? Was the going beast just a flying carriage? 

Lifyork stepped out, with his hands raised, quickly telling everyone to remain at ease and await the return of their monarch. 

From the outskirt Forests to the palace, it would take the messengers and warriors on horseback at least 4 hours to return. 

That's why he came ahead, to spread the word. 

Lifyork was quick to warn many others not to shoot at the flying beasts that would be coming in later on. 

And that was how they got to know of the true situation, keeping their calm even now that the aircrafts had landed. 

Whoop! Whoop!.. Whoop!..... Whoop~

The many blades of the aircrafts slowed down bit by bit until soon… the whooshing sounds couldn't be heard anymore. 

Finally, the doors open and outcome the Mirvans, accompanied by the Baymardians. 

(∆o∆)

Pale-face people! 

Everyone stretched their necks in shock when seeing the shorter and smaller-built pale-face humans emerge from the aircrafts. 

Grunt. Grunt~ 

Their long vampire-like teeth on their sides were flashing wide when they grunted in shock. 

Never in their lives had they imagined they would see the pale-face people their ancient ancestors had spoken of. 

Suddenly, the Baymardians understood how animals must feel in a zoo after seeing how these stunning Green orc-like people were gazing at them. 

It's like they knew no shame. 

They stared at them so intently that it felt as though these people were trying to burn holes through their bodies with their eyes. 

Landon on the other hand, didn't mind. 

After the incredible plane trip, Tacholla and Olibang had already kept him hostage by their sides asking him a million and ten philosophical questions on the matter of air travel. 

Several others also did the same, walking beside the Baymardians with countless questions in mind. 

Just like the outside world, people here also had various professions. 

There were astronomers here, painters, sculptors, and even philosophers who studied to discover the many secrets the world and the universe had to offer. 

As monarch, Tacholla had also dabbled in many professions.

"Why is it that the first peanut I took in the air tasted different from the peanut I took when landing?" 

Landon smiled, answering truthfully. "Due to lack of moisture, our sense of smell reduces and this affects our judgment on food taste." 

The phenomenon is mostly because the combination of the dry air and pressure change reduced their taste bud sensitivity. 

But Landon didn't go deeper, only stating a simpler explanation for them. 

Tacholla massaged his chin thoughtfully, "So it's because of lack of moisture that the food tastes so different?" 

"Yes. Our to guess react differently when there is lack of moisture in the air."

"In other words, the closer we are to the ground, the more moisture there is in the air. And does this also have something to do with the reasons why our weights felt bigger the higher we flew?" 

Landon neither shook his head nor nodded. "When you jump off a cliff, why do you fall? When you jump off a tree, why do you fall?" 

Everyone was taken aback by Landon's simple question. 

(?~?)

What sort of question is that? 

Don't you have to because you have to fall? 

No one had truly thought about the reason why everything must fall. 

Landon chuckled, ending the matter with just a few more thought-inducing words. "If everything must go down when you fall, then when you go against the natural order, and scene higher instead, what else do you expect?" 

"Resistance!" Olibang muttered, his eyes twinkling in realization. 

Soon, he opened his fingers and swished them in the air in wonder. "Could it be there is an invisible force all around us to keep us all on the ground?" 

Bingo!

Landon smiled, saying nothing, but Olibang's words enough to cause a storm within the minds of many. 

Many felt that should those maniac researchers, scholars and philosophers get wind of this discovery, they might rush to bury themselves in their testing labs for weeks and months without end. 

In this era, scientists were known to many as philosophers and researchers. 

At the same time, Landon had the Baymardians take down the many gifts they had prepared for the Mirvans. 

Several Mirvans also stepped in to help in carrying the many gifts in. 

"Before flying, you stated you were in great haste for medical aid right?" 

Tacholla quickly woke up, no longer fascinated by the mystery surrounding the flying carriages.

Yes, he had other things to worry about, like Balthazar's state."

Tacholla narrowed his eyes fiercely. "How confident are you and your people in your medical supplies?"

In other words are you absolutely sure what you give won't poison his patient/his son instead? 

Landon slowly turned to face him with unwavering eyes. "I'm not one to brag, but I must tell you that in the outside world, my Baymard has the best medical technologies and potions you can find in all of Hertfillia." 

"We are the best, and we strive to remain the best, ensuring that we give it our all when dealing with any patient welcome across. Believe me when I say we are your best bet in this world in solving any medical issues you may have."

"From your deposition and your need to constantly affirm our abilities, I can tell there must be someone seriously ill in your care." 

"So what will you do? Take a leap of faith in us or keep going on the way you used to?... Understand that the decision solely rests on your shoulders." 

--Silence-- 

The surrounding atmosphere turned silent, as Landon's Mirvan words echoed across the scene. 

Everyone knew the person Tacholla was most worried about. And despite their skepticism on the abilities of these pale-face people, they had to admit that they were truly running out of options here.

But then again the decision solely rests on Tacholla. So what's it gonna be? 

"Do it." Tacholla's eyes flickered with a strange light. 

"Do it. I permit you to heal a patient very dear to me… However, should you make his situation worse, heh…" 

Tacholla didn't complete his sentence, but everyone understood his threats.

But once again, Landon wasn't phased, only smiling broader than before. 

"Believe me, you won't regret it… Now then, take us to your grand Meeting Hall and quickly arrange for your patient to be brought over." 

He, Landon, would show these Mirvans just how powerful Baymard truly was!
