Chapter 307: Cars...but not the ones she knew.
That evening, was another exciting one for Eldorians. The new transportation methods that were said to be
better than horses were about to launched. The unveiling, was done at the mage estate with members of the
royal family, mages, nobles and chosen commoners gathered in eager anticipation. The rest of the citizens had
to watch it on televisions.
Sigrid, standing behind the podium with her griffin on her shoulders faced the cameras. Her eyes occasionally
drifted to the most mischievous mages in attendances, hoping that they would not pull pranks on this important
occasion.
The lord mage cleared his throat.
Sigrid received the signal that it was tto begin.
"Good evening Eldoria and friends from other empires that are joining us for this magical unveiling of the future
of transportation. Great news everyone, we will no longer be at the mercy of horses alone as a means of
traveling back and forth. Instead, we can now rely on automagic vehicles."
Smages at the front cheered. Those that had not seen the new type of transportation held back from
applauding until they saw for themselves what Sigrid was selling to them.
"First of all," Sigrid sighed, "Very reluctantly, | have been presented with the task of introducing the broom stick
to you."
Syoung mages and two adult females walked to the front, before the podium and faced the audience and
cameras. In their hands were broomsticks of various colors, large and long. Shand handles and others did
not.
"With the push of a single button or one command, anyone can ride a broomstick. And | mean anyone because
even if you are not a mage you can ride a broomstick." Sigrid shared.
The crowd muttered, most of them were not contented. If this was what they thought would replace horses, it
was a joke! The comfort of a carriage could not be beaten by a stick.
The mages took to the air, showing off their broom riding abilities. It should have been a simple move, fly up, go
straight, make a u-turn and return to the ground. Instead, Jackie, one of the female mages decided that she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcould take it a step further.
She started making loops through air, flying upside down and tried to stand on the broom. She lost her footing
and fell through the air.
The citizens were frightened and panicked, screams cut through the audience which was on edge. Luckily, the
queen consort intervened and cast a spell, lowering Jackie to the ground gently.
There were a lot of sighs of relief in the crowd.
"This is why the broom stick is not an encouraged mode of transport, especially for non mages. | know that many
of you will be tempted to buy it because it is fun to ride but it is not without risk." Sigrid looked into the camera
directly. "I repeat, broom sticks are not an encouraged mode of transport and there will be a lot of rules
regulating their use.
The department of transportation will share those rules. Make sure that you read them before you buy one. Also
make sure that you have a license to fly a broom stick before you even purchase one."
She nodded at the mages and they brought other unlikely things. What looked like a gigantic egg with windows
and tires in which humans could fit. Two mages were also dragging a carpet!!
Honestly, Sigrid had given the mages leeway to create and design as they saw fit. As long as the cars could be
driven, the aesthetics could be debated another time.
The reveal continued as more vehicles were driven in. A car shaped like an ominous owl with eyes that moved
from side to side as if it was alive, a car that looked like the ones on earth but sleek red, glowing with lava magic.
It left steam in its wake and roared like a beast.
There was even a candy shaped car that looked like a gigantic chocolate bar.
Luckily, most of the buses looked normal but they were magic vehicles so Sigrid had a feeling that they had their
own unique features. Like one bus which had dozens of deer antlers that doubled as luggage racks. Another bus
occasionally snorted and let steam out of what looked like a nose.
Things like things made Sigrid believe that she was the most clever of all the transmigrators that she knew of.
How could Emmah or Akia look at this and suspect her of being a transmigrator too? If she had gone with all
normal earth vehicles, they would suspect her immediately.
She did her best to introduce the vehicles with a straight face and people were given trial rides on the real roads
outside the mage estate. They drove all the way to the train station where a train that had which had soft puffy
clouds above was waiting.
‘Welcto the Cuddle Express, station one.” A big sign read.
Children and reporters were very much in love with the cloud, Sof them did not want to take a ride inside
the train but on top, in the cloud.
After the trial runs, they were driven back to the mage estate and the smiles on the faces of those that had tried
out the vehicles told a good story. One of satisfaction.
Once again, Sigrid stepped behind the podium and addressed the citizens.

Most importantly, we will never have to go through winter without our favorite pastries or wines just because it is
too cold or the snow is too heavy and we cannot ride a horse to the bakery."
Five teenage boys rode to the front of bicycles and two followed them on motorcycles, exhibiting the last newest
ways of getting around.
"To ride all of these various vehicles, you will need licenses. Driving lessons are now being offered at the royal
driving academies which will be open all over the empire as of tonight.
