Chapter 297. Completion of the trade ship (5) Of course the idiots at home won’t understand this. Because they’ve never
met
Arell face-to-face
?
‘I don’t know what you want, but please hope it has nothing to do with us.’
I don’t even dare to object.
As Viscount Gernil, he just hopes that what Arel is doing is harmless to them, even if he doesn’t know what he wants.
‘At the very least, I have to explain that this ship is not in danger, and reduce the trouble of the impatient nobles… Hmm?’
Viscount Gernil was puzzled when he casually looked at the window outside the aisle.
‘It seems that the speed has increased compared to before.’
Did the ocean currents speed up?
No, this boat has nothing to do with that.
Because I said it only goes out with pure power.
It’s not even the weight of being swept away by the currents around here.
Are you trying to be more specific about performance testing?
Viscount Gernil grabbed the sailor who was busy running somewhere out of pure curiosity and asked.
“If I’m not mistaken, the ship seems to be speeding up. What’s going on?”
“ah. This is Arel’s order.”
“Is that so?”
After all, there is no way he would do anything out of his will.
“By the way, are you trying to test your speed?”
“no. That’s not it. Hmm…
tell me.”
Somehow, realizing that the sailor was reluctant to say something, he hurriedly responded.
“The Kraken has appeared.”
“You mean the Kraken? Hmm… Is that really why you increased the speed?”
He understands the position of those who board the ship to some extent.
He tried to convince himself according to his common sense.
“Are you really trying to escape the Kraken? Well, at this speed, nothing is impossible heh heh heh heh…
“No. It’s the opposite.”
“hmm?”
“This is Arel-nim’s order to ram the Kraken at full speed. You may not believe it, but it is true.”
Sailors, too, why should Viscount Gernil wear them? I opened my eyes and understood why I couldn’t say anything.
He himself had to doubt his ears the first time he heard the command.
The reason he obeys orders is because he knows the performance of this ship second only to Arel.
But how would it sound to Viscount Gernil?
“What do you mean! Charge at the Kraken!”
“…Those who told me…
That time when the sailors were thinking about how to appease Viscount Gernil, who couldn’t calm down.
Goong!
I felt something shake very subtly.
“What is it now?”
“yep. Because I can’t figure it out here either. Hey newbie there! What happened!”
The sailor waved his hand and instructed a boy who had just become a sailor who was passing by to help with his work.
“They say the Kraken got hit by a boat and died! It’s completely flattened!”
The boy exclaimed strangely excited.
It seems strange that he killed the Kraken.
The sailor motioned for the boy to go back to work and looked back at Viscount Gernil.
“It sounds like it happened. Don’t worry, we’ll be slowing down again soon.”
“. That’s right.”
After bowing with respect to Viscount Gernil, who answered blankly, the sailors rushed off to take care of their work.
Viscount Gernil, who could not even catch him and stared blankly at him.
He grabbed his head and crouched down in the hallway.
It was ugly, but I wasn’t in the mood to care about it right now.
“What happened! A ship that barely shakes after killing a Kraken!”
Common sense is unbelievable.
What is Kraken?
Sailors’ enemy #1.
Isn’t it a nuisance called the devil of the sea that entangles small ships with tentacles and sinks large ships by dragging them with their bulk?
Of course, if the Kraken asks if subjugation is impossible, that’s not the case either.
When the number of krakens increases excessively, they borrow help from the kingdom and enter into a large-scale subjugation.
However, even so, it was only to the extent of hunting or chasing the kraken that had not yet matured.
Not to mention, being hit and killed by a ship is something I’ve never even imagined.
It’s impossible to do such a stupid thing even with a warship that you own in your own country.
‘…Is Arel really going to use this ship only for trade?’
I can’t quite understand the intention of the moment before.
Why did he kill the Kraken when he didn’t even need it?
Even now, numerous onlookers from the port city are paying attention to this ship.
There are no doubt that many people have seen this scene.
Or is it not the intention of something?
‘Could it be…. is he showing off his strength?’
No matter how much I thought about it, other than that, I couldn’t think of anything else.
Could it be that Arel caught in advance the movement that made him suspicious in his home country?
Did you know that and intentionally showed this to yourself?
Is it a metaphor that if he goes against it, his territory will become like the Kraken?
‘???? no way.’
I really want to, but I don’t think it’s different.
‘I can’t do it.’
he made up his mind
‘Even if it’s too much, let’s go around the home country.’
I just decided to do something I hadn’t seen before.
His life is too precious, and his territory is number one.
First of all, thanks to Arel, the economic situation of the territory will improve.
Let’s pretend we didn’t see it for now.
I decided not to recklessly offend Arel.
“Oh oh! The output is this much!”
At the same time, Helmin, the owner of the Mage Tower, wanted to see the actual application of the mana engine he was involved in, so he got permission from Arel to enter the engine room
. It’s nice to look around, but be careful not to trip over.”
“Ha ha ha ha, don’t worry. I will be careful not to get in your way.”
He kindly replied that it was okay to the concerns of the crew members operating the engine, and carefully watched the mana engine running.
‘Hmm, I still don’t know much about machines. Do you really mean to transmit power?’
Did you say it was a screw that constantly exploded mana to move the cylinder and that power moved the ship through an interlocking axis? It seems to transmit power so that the strangely shaped wings rotate.
Is that rotational power gaining momentum to cut through the current?
Well, you came up with this principle.
Helmin admired again.
Certainly, rowing or using wind is extremely inefficient.
‘At first, I couldn’t understand the idea of spending mana on a machine. Indeed…
He didn’t bother to say anything bitter because it was what Arel was doing, but he couldn’t understand.
Because I thought it was most efficient to use mana for magic.
In fact, that thought has not changed even now.
But let’s see the engine running.
I just thought it would be okay to apply it in this way.
‘Do those sailors really understand the density of the mana contained in that engine?’
The amount of mana sucked in and exploded per engine is truly enormous.
A power that even the most famous mage would not be able to handle easily.
One cannot but be in awe of the fact that a machine handles it.
‘Eh, there’s no problem with safety.’
As a result, if the mana engine cracked, the risk would follow.
However, from his point of view, the safety technique is working properly.
I don’t know what kind of experiment I was trying to do a while ago, but I raised the engine’s output to maximum, but the engine didn’t budge at all.
Even if a physical septum is directly applied to the engine, the worrying accident will not occur.
That point bothered me a little, so I came to check it out, but I was worried for nothing.
Relieved by that fact, Helmin once again observed the flow of mana exploding wildly inside the mana engine.
For some reason, it seems that something new will come up with just that.
‘Um, by the way, as expected, Arell-nim will ask you to produce additional engines, right? If that’s the case… should I prepare as expected?’
I had already heard from Arell that the use of the mana engine would not end with ships alone.
And judging from this usefulness, it doesn’t seem like it’s going to end there.
I’m sure he’ll come back with a money bag and make further demands, so you should be ready to respond.
Research is not the only important thing for a mage.
At that level, you have the responsibility to lead the wizards under your command.
That’s why I also wanted to see the future utilization of the engine with my own eyes here.
Because money is something even wizards like.
‘Clearly, this will not end with a simple trade revolution.’
Helmin was so sure in his heart.
‘What the hell is Arel-nim looking forward to?’
He was in awe as he remembered the face of Arell, who planned and directed all this.
‘There’s not much time left to get the Kola tree fruit.’
around that time.
Arel, who was leisurely playing with his aides on the boat, did not write anything about the thoughts of others who looked at the boat, and burned only pure selfish desire.
He sees only one thing.
There is only one plant that will bloom your desire that is supposed to be over that continent.
All of his big paintings are just for the sake of obtaining some kind of plant.
There is probably no one in the world who can imagine Arel’s intentions like this.
The Arnil Company, led by Arele Ernesia, resumed intercontinental trade in earnest.
Many of the Daesanghoe knew in advance that Arell would be reaching out to intercontinental trade in earnest.
That’s because the intention was obvious from the fact that he expelled the head of the Geotal Company in the past and swallowed her company.
Rather, I took it for granted and gave it to him, but I noticed as much as possible so as not to go against his planting.
However, that was not enough, so many merchants were puzzled when they heard the news that they were developing ships.
What the hell is Arel aiming for, so she stretches out her hand this far?
And finally, when the new iron wire he led the development of was revealed, the people of each trade association who had gathered to spy on it felt right on the spot.
‘A new wind will blow in business!’
If you trade using that sturdy iron wire, it will be more stable than before and incomparably more trade items will come in.
Where do you just come in?
Exporting to distant continents would also bring huge profits.
If that happens, the market situation on the continent will naturally change.
If you don’t see the flow, you’ll be swept away and ruined.
That’s why they started lining up at the Arnil store as soon as the ship departed for trade.
The Arnil Firm brings in some finished goods, but also some crops that only grow in that region.
If so, it would be more profitable to jump into the business of processing it.
That’s why they have no choice but to look at Arnil Firm desperately to make money.
