Chapter 305: Project Initiation

「Still, people of the ancient civilizations were strange.」

「Right? They built a city in a place that had an S rank dungeon and strong monsters living within it.」Điscover new chapters on n0ve(l)bin(.)com

For the time being, I returned to the Sanctuary workshop, and I polished a plan for a magic device that would support the control unit of the Sky Island together with Laeva.

What Laeva and I were thinking was to first improve the Sky Island’s floats and barriers, and take the amount of magic power used for regulating the climate from the atmosphere. We continued to add more and more ideas in.

「Even so, this is a frighteningly efficient mana collection device. Fortunately, the Sky Island didn’t stall in one place and kept moving.」

「You got that right. As the surrounding mana grows thinner, the resulting negative intake and output accelerates.」

「As part of the plan, will we prepare auxiliary magic crystals?」

「Well, simply put, it’d be like that.」

As per usual, we will be transmuting several giant crystals, but that alone wasn’t enough this time.

「For now, we’ll combine it with the usual magic crystals, and it must be something that could be replenished by just Valkan-san and his tribe.」

「It would be great if the intake and output balances out in the end......」

「It might not be possible immediately. It would be great if we come up with an idea though.」

Preparing several magic crystals requires gathering materials, but that isn’t much of a problem. The problem is that when it’s just the Aligerous Tribe by themselves, replenishing the magic power would be difficult. Sophia and I could replenish a day’s worth of magic power by ourselves, but I’d like to avoid constraining everyone from the Aligerous Tribe to replenishing the magic power.

「How about we structure it so it is possible to set magic stones to replenish the magic crystals with magic power?」

Laeva unrolled the blueprint, and began explaining the magic device that would link the 1m+ magic crystals to the dungeon core.

「Large, high purity magic stones... you plan to hunt dragon types?」

Akane’s face cramped as she was shocked by the dimensions of the magic crystals drawn on the blueprint.

「As expected, Akane. Actually, Queen Fraal told me that there were dragon-type dungeons.」

「Wha! You’re serious?」

Since I needed a ton of magic stones, I asked Queen Fraal for a suitable dungeon. Apparently, there was a very difficult dungeon where dragon species appeared in great numbers.

From Lizardmen who were not much different to lizards, Wyverns, Earth Dragons, Thunder Dragons, and even Undead Bone Dragons Monsters appear. And if we reach the deepest part, an Ancient Dragon that would be too much to handle makes its appearance. Well, we aren’t going that far in though.

「Magic stones as large as they could be are much more efficient for transmuting, after all.」

Incidentally, if we train the Aligerous Tribe on the shallow floors, securing magic stones would become a simple task to them.

「Haa, fine I get it. Still, safety first.」

「Of course.」

「Master, that seems fun.」

Kaede couldn’t help but find the thought of fighting dragons fun.

Our full party and several of the Aligerous Tribe will go dungeon diving, while the remaining tribesmen would be asked to thin out the monsters left on the Sky Island.
