I Can Make Everything Level UP-Novel

Chapter 271 Preparations (8)

"So, it is like that," Billy said. "You two are pregnant, and our family will grow even further, but even thought I want to spend every bit of these precious moments with you, Alexander and Lily will need you. Besides, some spies might be around, so they will notice if all of us disappear."

Kate and Natalie were silent, they were happy about the news, but then the last few events seemed like someone threw a bucket of cold water on them. It was really annoying, but they couldn't contest Billy's reasoning. It was too risky to go with him since they didn't know for how long the mission will last.

"Besides, I want to avoid sex during your pregnancy as much as possible and I feel like I won't resist if I stay here doing nothing," Billy said.

"Of all things you could have said now…" Kate said and then sighed.

"Do you think that this will take too long?" Natalie asked.

"I am not sure, I will need a lot of mana in each of those operations and just on the western side of the Toles state, there are around fifteen towns and cities that have a considerable amount of people," Billy explain. "After doing some math, I think I will need around three months. To rescue the people of that side of the state. Gilles believe that we will be able to take at least one third of the population of the state and that will be a crippling blow to that mad woman. She still will have the backing of the people of her own state and the barbarians, but it will take a considerable amount of time for her to prepare without them."

"I see…. then I guess it can't be helped," Natalie said. "We will wait for good news."

Billy kissed his wives and then grabbed Natalie's chest and Kate's butt while he was at it. He got scolded thanks to it, but he accepted since he would miss those. In any case, Billy spent the day doing some preparations since he would travel at night. It was the best way to use his vehicle, and that one had improved considerably since the last time.

Magic Cart Lv 40

Spiritual Core Lv 02

Potency: 60

Movement Speed: 65 meters per second.

Mana Capacity: 1000/1000

Durability: 120/120

After doing some tests, Billy confirmed that he could use the juice of the Edish fruits as a fuel. A larger box was now attached behind the magic box that was supposed to be the magic engine of the vehicle, and that box had dozens of liters of the juice. Billy didn't know for how long that will last, but he assumed that it would last for quite a while since the potency of the vehicle was much higher than before, and he even added the effect of the Spiritual Core to it. So, the consumption of mana decreased, and the vehicle could recover mana by itself. It was a pity that it cost one hundred skill points.

"I suppose I can also make one of those big ass vehicles that are used to excavate tunnels… but I suppose it will be slower and I won't train my magic," Billy rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Regardless, Gilles showed up at his house at night, and then Billy opened an entrance to his workshop below his garden. Gilles frowned when he saw that and even more when he saw that the area underground was completely surrounded by a thick layer of steel. Not to mention, there were many tools of blacksmithing there. Several types of weapons that looked pretty good as well. Gilles had heard that Billy was a good fighter and magician but not a blacksmith. Regardless, he forgot about that when he saw Billy's magic cart. Billy smiled in satisfaction when he saw the look of surprise on his face.

"Hop on," Billy said while pointing to the backseat of the vehicle.

Gilles had no idea how that worked, but he could see a tunnel ahead, and as soon as he saw down, Billy opened the connection between the fuel and the vehicle. Near instantly, the cart began to move at 65 meters per second, and Gilles hit his back against the seat. Fortunately, Billy had made those using the comfy chairs that were made by using the leather and pelt of the monsters of his dungeon, so it didn't hurt that much. After just two minutes, they reached the nearby river, and then Billy opened another exit there before sealing it again. Gilles locked behind, and then he noticed that the capital was already pretty far away.

"How does this thing move so fast without horses?" Gilles asked.

"A magician never reveals his tricks," Billy replied.

Nevertheless, Billy began to drive toward the state's east side at that fearsome speed. While both of them almost could run that fast, it would consume their stamina at a fearsome pace. Still, Billy had to be careful because driving while he was at 250 kilometers per hour, turning was quite difficult. Even changing directions slightly was quite the challenge. Fortunately, Billy put some small spikes on the tires, so they could destroy the small pebbles on the road instantly. Bumping at that speed would also be quiet… Unpleasant.

"The only problem is the trail that I leave behind…" Billy said.

"I see, you want to keep this as a secret, you are quite the cautious one," Gilles said while he was using all his might to keep himself from falling.

"Put those across your belly and chest, they are seat belts, they will prevent you from falling," Billy said.

It didn't take long for Gilles to understand how those worked. Nevertheless, Billy soon found some problems. He couldn't cross towns and cities while he was driving that, so sometimes, he had to choose a path that wasn't quite appropriate to use. Still, the defense mechanisms of the tires did their job well in getting off the obstacles.
