Chapter 209

Chapter 209. Let's make a ship... a very big ship (1) Ernesia Mage Tower.

It soars to the sky and boasts its majesty, and there are facilities for various purposes.

The basic purpose is solely to search for magic.

Due to the nature of the closed magic tower, it is necessary to solve the elements necessary for research and living on its own, so it is equipped with facilities for various purposes.

A space where you can live and live.

A facility that cultivates food and materials.

From labs used by individual wizards to special labs for researching special materials or magic.

The large laboratory located in the basement here is also a room that exists for a slightly special purpose, unlike the general laboratory.

It is three or four times larger than other laboratories, and there are several layers of protective magic and safety devices in preparation for various emergencies.

The original purpose is a room for research and development of research products or weapons with a risk of accident.

And in line with that purpose, many wizards were now engrossed in developing a certain object under the direction of a man.

Of course, it is an item under development designated as top secret.

“Are the mana-resistance and safety techniques finished?”

Helmin, the lord of the magic tower.

He turned over the calculation documents for the magic formula to be used on the object in front of him and entered the final inspection to make sure there were no errors. Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

“No problem.”

As he said this, the assistant mages who followed his instructions all shouted “Huh!” and let out a sigh of relief.

Thanks to that new invention developed at the request of Arell Ernesia, they haven't been able to stretch their legs to sleep lately.

You don't know how hard he struggled to pass the mage master's stringent standards for each and every little technique.

However, the difficult development is slowly coming to an end.

“Theory is fine. I personally reviewed the technique a little while ago, but there is no problem.”

Helmin confirmed the theory several times and nodded in satisfaction.

‘...Anyway, most of the spells used are safe spells.'

A mana engine, an invention entrusted to you by Arell.

It has already been five months since I was asked to finish the magic process to be used for it.

However, you do not know how much the wizards, including him, worked hard to complete it during those five months.

The number of magic formulas that Arell requested was literally blinding most wizards.

How many variables did you anticipate?

‘Or is it that it's just as dangerous if an accident happens?'

The principle of this engine is already understood to some extent.

Due to the principle of operation, it is a very dangerous item if an accident occurs.

The idea of obtaining power by concentrating and exploding mana may be groundbreaking, but what if an accident occurs?

If not, there is a possibility that it will interfere with mana in the air and cause a series of explosions.

In theory, that's enough to blow up a castle.

Knowing that, Arel requested the Mage Tower to complete and apply this complicated safety technique.

But that's never easy.

Composing a formula that could respond to all the variables requested by Allel was the most difficult part of its development.

It took 5 months even though Helmin, the owner of the Mage Tower, personally participated whenever his hands were free.

Even a tolerable artifact had never taken more than a month, so he had such a hard time.

Anyway, I was able to apply the safety formula that I had perfected to the engines that Arel brought as prototypes.

‘Is it true... that he will be satisfied with the results....

Theory is not a problem.

An invention devised by Arell, engineered by his subordinates, and supplemented by the Mage Master and Wizards of the Mage Tower.

In this way, if it does not work properly even after all the efforts of experts in each field, it will be meaningless to lose face.

“Let’s start it.”

The answer is to try it yourself first.

Helmin ordered the engine to run as a test.

According to the instructions, the wizards supplied mana to the engine and started it.

Changes the mana stored inside the engine to generate sparks and ignite.

The pressure generated by the explosion pushes the cylinder and circulates.

“There is no problem with the control technique.”

“Even with the endurance augmentation ceremony, the burden is not greater than the allowable value.”

Wizards report the status of the magic formulas that support the engines running.

It is this that excites me.

You can build a ship, which is one of the ‘Two Great Transport Plans' to which this engine will be applied.

Finally, the time has come for the first start of Arnil Firm's plan to advance into the continent.

“The air is salty.”

He took a deep breath and murmured.

Until now, when you smell the air of a new place, you feel refreshed.

A salty smell that stings the nose.

The cries of seagulls and migratory birds flying overhead.

A landscape far from pleasant.

“It really does feel like the sea.”

Now I am at the port where the ships are moored.

“This is the sea! It's wide.”

“Wow... I didn’t expect it to be this big.”

“...I agree.”

The three escorts, Asha Seina Dia, who accompanied me were admiring the sea.

It was as if all three of them were seeing the sea for the first time.

After all, there is no sea in Ernesia Kingdom.

As a country surrounded by mines and mountains, even nobles usually only know the sea through knowledge, but only a handful of people have actually seen it.

Currently, we are in a port city located in the territory of Gernil, a territory of the Kingdom of Felsen, one of the small countries that are friendly with the Kingdom of Ernesia.

Compared to other cities, it is not very large and does not produce specialties, but its value has advantages over the capitals of other countries.

That it is right along the port through the sea.

This place has been used as a trading port since long ago by numerous merchant associations that own ships, so today it has become a large port city where ships from various countries are concentrated.

And it's been quite some time since we, Arnil Firm, also entered this port.

This is because they acquired the ship and crew that belonged to them while taking over the former Geotal Corporation.

In one corner of the harbor, ships that are now ours are already built.

It is said that they returned from a distant continent today just in time.

On the ship, workers were carrying a considerable amount of cargo out of the ship.

We were watching it from afar.

“...is this really a sword that travels across the sea?”

Seina was admiring the ship as if it were her first time seeing it.

Asha said, ‘Isn't it that big and doesn't sink?' I'm muttering an ominous sound.

“...I see that you float on the water with that structure!”

Dia muttered something and was convinced.

Even seeing the same scene, each person has a different impression.

What they have in common is that they are all from the kingdom of pure Ernesia, so they are seeing not only the sea but also ships for the first time.

‘Is it that strange?'

Of course, from my point of view, there is nothing special about it, just a merchant ship for trade.

To be honest, I don't quite understand their feelings.

However, to those who see it for the first time, it seems like a means of transportation floating on water is a shock in many ways...

For now, should I pretend to be amazed?

look at that!! ship, ship! and ? ah ?

god ? energy ? sun ? la.

Like this, I looked at the same scene as them and muttered in an exaggerated voice as if it was really strange.

...Somehow, looking at it like this, it seems like we're from the countryside.

Am I the only one who gets embarrassed?

“Hong makes a fuss with only pears.”

At us like that, Aken crossed his arms and snorted.

“uh? Aken! Aren’t you curious about ships and the sea?”

That was really embarrassing.

Although Aken came from the place where the dwarves live, he is not from the kingdom of Ernesia, but as far as I know, the mountain range where the dwarves live is also without a sea?

Aren't we from the countryside more than we are?

The guy who should be the most amazing is so cool!

Everyone thought it was strange.
