Chapter 160: Considering Transportation Methods

It is quite a distance from the south end of Samandour Kingdom to the western end of the continent. If I’m being honest, I want to teleport back, but there’s too many of us so that’s not possible.

Taking this into consideration, I’d have liked to establish a Gate, but it would be better if I’m a little bit more prudent in having a base at Samandour Kingdom.

When I questioned Fluna-san in detail, there were several more groups of mermaids living in the southern area of the ocean. However, they have no interaction with Fluna-san’s group and were apparently large groups. Still, any group would be troubled by the brutal activity of monsters.

「Aren’t there large ships that wouldn’t lose to monsters?」

「In Samandour Kingdom, there appear to be small trading ships that go to a small continent in the south where Devils(Mazoku) live.」

As expected, Sophia is well informed. The three countries in this continent that face the ocean are Samandour Kingdom, Gnomstoll Kingdom, and Yggurle Kingdom. However, the seaside of Gnomstoll Kingdom is a sheer cliff face with no port. Yggurle Kingdom faces the northern sea, but as it could barely be used for salt-making, it isn’t a terrain that was suited for a port. In this continent, only Samandour Kingdom’s southern seas had several ports and their trade with the continent of the Devils (Mazoku) is said to be profitable.

「If I’m not mistaken, the seas to the west of the Sanctuary seems like a place that could be a port, right?」

「Yes, there should be a bay with deep waters on the southwest side.」

If I remember right, there’s a spot south of the place I think could be for salt-making that looked like it could be used for a port. If it were before the Sanctuary was made, it couldn’t become a port because of the monsters, but since it’s inside the barrier now, it might be alright to make a port with a shipbuilding dock.

As I pondered over the ship’s structure and propulsion mechanism, it’s like I had already settled with building the ship, but I can’t help it, I always want to make something since I’m an artisan.

「The construction of large ships in the Sanctuary would intensify the countries’ aggression for it if they find out.」

「As I thought............, the Sanctuary has Perception Inhibitor MD and the Great Spirits’ barrier, so they can’t infiltrate the Sanctuary, much less confirm what is inside, but that’s not possible for a large ship.」

「Indeed. I believe that the Perception Inhibitor MD is somewhat effective, but it would be difficult to conceal a large ship cutting through waves.」

「I know, right? But would it be enough for avoiding monsters?」

When we return, I’ll discuss and design the large ship with Laeva and Doganbo-san. Whether or not it would be possible to materialize it is something we’ll think about afterwards.

Since I’m saying we’d build a large combat vessel in this continent where battleships do not exist, it would be necessary to ask various people for advice. At any rate, I was wondering if I could build it because, while I’ve ridden ferry-type ships, I’ve only seen destroyers from afar, but I have a feeling that I could probably make it somehow, thanks to my rising level, growing status, and various skills groups.

I’m now looking forward to going back to the Sanctuary.
