Chapter 41
41 Fun is planned.
“Well. Before you do anything about the ship, first, can you tell me what’s going on with the ship?
That said, I built a ship out of the sand behind the furnace (using fire from sorcery, not charcoal) and let it float in the air with wind sorcery.
“… really, don’t use all sorts of magic…”
“I don’t have the amount, until I ran into a trick.”
Soil magic uses a little magic when activating it, so it can be used to dig and fix mountains, but magic is a crowd (compared to a typical magician). Soil magic loses magic in less than three meters.
“Still unusual.”
“So, where did they hit the ship?
“They’ve done everything from here to here.”
Put a crack where the chairman glanced with his finger.
“Below the drinking line? You didn’t sink well.”
“You know a lot about drinking lines and stuff. Is Bae familiar with ships, too?
“No, I’m not that familiar with it. Just the basics.”
The degree of knowledge I’ve seen on TV feature shows.
“Still awesome…… well, do you convince me it’s bei. I didn’t sink because I let it float by the wind.”
“Is magic okay? I don’t know any more about demon ships, but I’m pretty sure they use demon stones.”
Demons and excavated demonic stones are the oil of this world. We’ve used it to create magic ships and airships.
“There are enough demon stones, but not enough to reach your destination. Two hundred bales from here.”
One bal was more or less one or six kilometers long. Well, maybe three hundred and twenty kilos.
It’s not a big distance in a previous life, but it’s like going to another world in this world. Not to mention the sea is an unknown world. Instead of sea dragons, it is an ocean with even sea gods. All I have is the advantage of saying that it can be transported in large quantities and faster than by road. There are only safe transport routes in this world.
“Well, the sooner, the better, but how much respite do we have? Speaking in terms of time I can stay here.”
“To be honest, five days is finally here.”
“You used to try to get there by carriage.”
The distance to proceed in a day by carriage is about thirty kilometers. Let’s go to Baldarin. Let’s go to Wangdu, not very much, but not the distance we can go in five days. Even the early horses will take eight days (I can’t run at night).
“If I’d gone to the city of Balsana on the way, I’d have managed to tell you.”
Oh, there are magic tools in this world that can talk a long way. I want that. How old are you?
That said, if the ship doesn’t get to the king’s capital, it doesn’t make sense.
That’s right.
“Well, is five days enough? Just block the hole with wood. Well, there’s nothing magic can’t block it, but it’s going to be intensely weak, and it’s going to take time. If you block me, I can reach the King’s Landing. I guarantee you strength.”
“There’s no wood when I say I’ll plug it”
“Then I’ll be fine. I have a house that makes barrels, so you can even pay me to get them. I don’t have any problems with nails because we have a lot of them. Right, how long does it take to plug the hole as the wood is to be transported back tomorrow?
“If you just block it, you won’t have a lot of trouble. We’ll be able to do it by evening.”
“Well, do you want me to hang in there and finish in three days? If we had a day, we’d be able to put in the stuff we put out, right?
“I’d appreciate it if you could do that, but is it possible in three days?
“Once in the morning. Once a day. Once in the evening. Apply a membrane of magic covering the hole. The membrane itself is thin and has no strength, but if you stick as many as nine pieces, it becomes strength that is not broken even if it is clashed by a sea dragon. It’s called the multimembrane junction.”
“Multiple membrane junctions?
“Well, to put it simply, even thin plates can be as hard as wood if they overlap in number. Magic can do the same thing. It is only about 80% magic because it is thin, and free time restores magic. So if you hang in there, you can finish it in three days.”
……………
You’ll be too surprised to say anything, Mr. Chairman.
Well, in fact, I can do it without a minute of effort because I use the junction, but I need a minimum of self-defense. You’re my friend, for example, but I can’t say what I can’t say – and I can’t be unconditional.
“I’ll give you the food until then, so stop buying in the city. It’s a village where the city can afford to stand, but it can afford to feed forty or fifty people. Why don’t you eat fish?
Fish if you’re a sailor. Sometimes I hear you’re fishing and eating fish while you’re sailing.
“… that’s because you’re blessed with meals. A common sailor’s diet is painful rather than qualitative. Steamed potatoes or stewed beans every day. Salted fish in dried fish. When I came up to land, I wanted to eat something as good as a human being.”
“… can’t be saved anywhere, the meal in this world…”
A big thank you to the gods of the previous world (?) for giving me the memory of my previous life and three abilities.
“… well, if that’s the case”
If I lived like that, I might buy vegetables.
“I will prepare the food, but ask the Adventurer Guild to carry it. I want the apprentices to make some cash.”
“Why would you let me do that? I don’t care how many people in the same village take too much care of me.”
“Don’t you know?
I don’t know.
When I provoked him to say it, he gave it back.
“I told you. I don’t want to adventure on my own, but I’m curious enough to hear about someone else’s adventure.”
It’s an upfront investment for when they leave this village one day and after all the adventures they’ve had, when they come back to this village.
“I mean, old age fun.”
