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 .
