After Irene left, Claire called Regan and asked her to go to the hospital to inform Rona, and wait until Irene left before fetching Eve back.

Fortunately, Irene had sent Eve out before he came. Otherwise, there were two Archmage inside Nafu City, and it would have been really difficult for Claire to move the mermaid out quietly.

If those two mages revealed this news to Irene, the effect of the publicity would be greatly reduced.

"Ha!" Irene walked out of the room, stretched and yawned.

After washing up under the service of the maid, he stopped a maid at random and asked, "Where is your young master?"

"It seems that in Academy of Sciences, Lord Viscount said that he wanted to find Lord Isaac about something."

After asking where Academy of Sciences was, Irene rode the Wolf King towards the North District under the protection of Hayden. Because of Claire's instructions, the Wolf King was very honest along the way., but even if it wants to be dishonest, there is nothing it can do. It is only a second-level monster now. If it makes any move, it will be smashed into pulp by Hayden with its fists in the next second. The title of Earth Knight, the invincible knight on the ground, is not for nothing.

Under the guidance of passers-by, Irene successfully arrived at the location of Academy of Sciences. As soon as he entered, he saw Claire and Isaac tinkering with a huge ship.

"Are you awake?" Claire wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked over.

Isaac also stopped what he was doing, bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Your Highness, Gui'an!"

Irene nodded slightly, "You're welcome, just call me Irene like Claire." Then he turned his attention to Claire and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Look at the mermaid, this is the best observation point." Claire smiled.

Originally, today was Isaac's airship time, and he had specially scheduled the time so that he could have a good time today, but Claire had a sudden idea and planned to let Irene take the airship to see the mermaid, so he had to sacrifice Isaac's airship time. In order to trade the airship time, Claire also promised Isaac to return the airship to him in the next few days and let him have fun, so he asked Isaac to help transform the airship.

"This?" Irene was a little curious.

"You'll know then." Claire smiled mysteriously, not intending to explain clearly.

"You can hang out in Nafu City now and let Regan take you. I will go find you when I get it done here."

Unexpectedly, Irene shook his head, "No, no, I think this is quite interesting. I'll watch you do it here."

Claire was a little surprised but still replied, "It's okay, you can watch it if you like, but the process is very boring."

Irene just squatted like this, following Isaac and Claire around, asking from time to time what this device was for, and what that decoration was for.

In this way, Isaac and Claire were busy until dusk, when the sun was about to set, and then they completed the transformation of the airship. After the transformation, the appearance of the airship changed a lot, and it looked several times better than at the beginning. At first, the airship only considered practicality, so the appearance was somewhat inappropriate, but if it was used to receive tourists, it would obviously not work, so it had to be transformed.

When rare stars appeared in the sky, Claire was finally done. The gas-filled airship was already hanging in the mid-air, like a huge aerial monster. If Irene hadn't seen it getting bigger little by little with his own eyes, he would have never known what it was.

"Let's go." Claire extended his hand to invite, "Let's go see the mermaid..."

Before Irene agreed, Hayden stepped onto the airship, but was stopped by Claire before he could get on.

"You can't come in!" Claire stretched out his hand to stop him.

Hayden's eyes widened and he shouted angrily, "Why, I am Your Highness's personal guard. If I don't go, who will protect Your Highness's safety!"

"Of course I know this." After saying this, Claire sighed, "But the load of this airship is only the weight of two people. You can even weigh two of us. If you come up, the airship may not be able to fly."

Hearing Claire's words, Isaac was holding back laughter at the difficulty. This airship can even lift a mermaid sculpture weighing hundreds of tons, so why is it afraid of a guy weighing several hundred kilograms?

"This..." Hayden was at a loss for words. He didn't know much about this aspect and couldn't tell whether Claire was lying to him.

"And the knight's strength is greatly reduced in the air, so Your Highness's safety is left to me." Claire said with a smile. He was not willing to let Hayden go up, lest it ruin his ability to continue to fool Irene.

"It's okay." Irene took the initiative and said, "Uncle Hayden, just wait for me here. If you are in the air, there are two other mages."

Hayden's expression was tangled, but he agreed. What Claire said made sense. The knight's strength in the air was indeed not as good as that of the mage. With those two Archmage watching, there shouldn't be any problem with Your Highness's safety.

However, Hayden felt that Claire around Irene was the biggest insecurity, but Princess Irene couldn't help it if he wanted to.

After taking Irene onto the airship, Claire controlled the airship to slowly fly towards the coast.

Fortunately, Isaac rode an airship around Nafu City every day, so everyone in Nafu City was used to it. When they saw the airship flying above their heads, they just looked at it curiously, and then walked towards the West District.

Today's nightlife in Nafu City is not comparable to that of before. High-end consumption is not affordable, but places like pubs are still accessible. Moreover, there are many more middle-class people in Nafu City than before. It is still affordable to spend once every few months.

After a long time and Nafu City is fully developed, the West District will truly be considered an entertainment area that everyone can afford. Now it is mainly to serve tourists who come to see the mermaid.

"Hoo ho ho ho!" Irene lay on the railing of the airship and imitated the sound of the wind with his mouth, feeling the touch of the breeze blowing against his cheek.

Irene opened his hands, letting the breeze blow over his body, and then shouted to Claire, "This feels good!"

After shouting, Irene continued to lie on the railing and looked down. At this time, Nafu City was brightly lit and bustling.

"Be careful not to fall." Claire walked over after deciding the direction.

"Hehe!" Irene smiled and said with a smile, "It's okay, you will save me if I fall, right?"

Claire smiled and said, "That's possible."

"Bad guy, hum!" Irene turned his head away proudly and continued to look at the brightly lit Nafu City below.

Claire didn't say anything, just stood next to Irene and felt the breeze blowing on his face. No wonder Isaac liked flying around in airships so much before. It turned out that the feeling was really good. When he was in the air, his mind felt like it was suddenly opened, and he was very excited.

Irene suddenly turned around and asked, "I heard from Yuna that you installed those street lights down there, right?"

Claire couldn't understand why she asked this question, but she answered honestly, "Right, if there are no street lights, people will not be able to see clearly when they go out at night."

"Can I make money?"

"I don't want to make any money."
