Chapter 287: Remodeling the Ouranos
Having finished the nominated request from the Feudal Lord to build the expansions for Volton City, I started to move to fulfill the wish of the Aligerous Tribe.
「Alrighty, Laeva. I think it’s about time we start preparations to return Berkut and her tribe to the Sky Island. What do you think we need?」
「Hmm, perhaps we should first improve upon the Ouranos?」
「I suppose so.」
I began to work on the improvements on the Ouranos in the Sanctuary workshop with Laeva.
Long flights are fundamentally difficult for the Aligerous Tribe. Since that was the case, it was the Ouranos’ time to shine, but because the Ouranos was made for our party members’ use, it would be tight with everyone on board despite the space inside being expanded.
「We must also find the location of the Sky Island.」
「Yeah, you’re right. ......I wonder if we could make a radar-like thing.」
「A “radar”?」
「Ah, umm, how can I explain this properly...... a type of detection magic device, maybe. A magic device that is able to detect somewhat large objects over a wide range.」
「The Ouranos is indeed in need of such a function.」
While the two of us were sharing our opinions about the Ouranos, we also brought up what would be feasible.
「The output of the propulsion device would have no problem even if the Ouranos increases in size, right?」
「Yes, it would be fine. We’re able to get excessive output even now, and there’s also the Weight Reduction enchantment that we can reapply.」
「Let’s start with the fuselage then?」
Laeva left the workshop, and I went to the shipbuilding dock by the sea.
The Ouranos’ size wouldn’t really require the dock, but there are usable materials in a vault near the dock, so I thought we may as well just finish upgrading the Ouranos there. Maria and Marnie would get mad at me if I destroy the mansion garden too.
Two days later, ore that was smelted by the craftsman Golan was brought to the dock.
「Okay! We’re starting immediately, so move back a bit.」
Ouranos and materials like mithril, adamantite, steel, and chrome were placed on top of a large magic circle drawn to support the transmutation.
Once I was sure that Sophia and Laeva were away from the magic circle, I placed both hands on the floor and began to pour magic power into it. At the same time, I held a strong image of the process of upgrading the Ouranos and its complete form in my mind.
「Transmute!」
The pile of materials and the fuselage of the Ouranos were enveloped in light, intersecting as though fusing into one.
「......fuu, looks like there’s no problem.」
The light settled and a single, large Ouranos was in front of me.
「I will check on it immediately!」
Laeva rushed over to the Ouranos as she said so, then began to examine all the parts.
「You got this!」
I waved my hand and returned from the dock to the workshop. I now had to begin designing the detection magic device, so I left the inspection of the Ouranos to Laeva.
