Chapter 296. Completion of trading ship (4) It was a time when we were enjoying the surrounding scenery from the deck amicably among ourselves.
“Um, Mr. Arell? Isn’t that the Kraken?”
Seina pointed to the front of the ship.
“Kraken? Where…
I took the telescopic magic tool and checked it.
Actually, I don’t have to, but since it’s in front of them, I have to look at it with normal eyesight.
“…the real Kraken.”
Currently, there are several things that look like triangular heads and tentacles swaying in front of the route.
Yeah, that’s a great Kraken.
…. Previously, Viscount Gernil also said that Krakens are often seen in this sea.
At that moment, the other sailors also noticed the appearance of the Kraken and, unlike us, who were in a relaxed atmosphere, rushed to report with a nervous feeling.
The Kraken we think of and the Kraken that sailors think of are proof that perceptions are completely different.
“Arel-sama, this is Kraken.”
“Yeah, I saw it too.”
“We need to turn the boat.”
An experienced sailor advised so.
“Can you get away from the Kraken by turning the boat?”
“Yes, that is a kind of warning. see Aren’t they just sticking out their tentacles and head like that?”
Is it like a warning not to come because I’m here?
“Aha, if you turn the boat around at this point, the Kraken won’t follow.”
“Yeah, if that doesn’t work, just throw some food and they’ll go away.”
Is that really the wisdom of the sailors who work here?
The Kraken earns its prey by showing off its presence.
With such a reasonable agreement, even the crew can escape the Kraken’s tentacles.
It’s a beautiful concession.
“Isn’t it difficult to escape?”
“It’s not difficult at the speed of this old ship. Rather, even if you chase, you will not be able to catch up with this ship.”
“okay?”
Certainly, the speed of this ship is different from other ships.
then.
“good. From now on, tell me what I say and follow it.”
“yep!”
The sailor waited for me to give instructions while reciting.
“From now on, we…
I pointed my thumb at that kraken and said,
“From now on, this ship rams the Kraken at full speed! practice!”
“yes! Full speed towards the Kraken… Yes?”
After reciting, the sailor tilted his head.
no i didn’t hear it wrong You heard me right.
“Take it and put it on the Kraken.”
“…Why?”
“I’m just being a bit cheeky.”
Does it make sense that I dare to avoid a squid that is only a little big while I’m riding it?
More than anything, I don’t like it for some reason to pay tribute and get away with it.
Cheeky.
So, I will ram the Kraken with a big, beautiful ship.
“It’s not dangerous…
” It’s not dangerous. In the first place, it’s not a ship that’s going to happen to just one Kraken.”
It was designed with enough strength to go through.
In addition, it was also processed so that it could be sealed with magic, so there was no problem.
So hit and kill
Where can I get a taste of the large iron wire?
“I just want to do some shock testing. While doing this, the mana engine also puts out a little bit of maximum output. And I want to see if Kraken is delicious or not. Is this a good opportunity?”
….When I said this, the sailor made a puzzled face, but he didn’t say anything else because he had to follow orders.
And he has already been well trained and knows the performance of this ship.
You know what I’m saying is not far-fetched.
“All right.”
He nodded and sighed.
Likewise, instead of repeating the song, ‘Huh?’ I heard voices expressing doubts with the feeling of doing it, but they are still faithful sailors.
I started to move busily to execute properly as I said.
Soon after, the output of the mana engine increased and the ship accelerated rapidly.
It can be seen that the speed of cutting the waves is clearly increasing.
“oh! It’s speeding up.”
“It is speeding up. Oh, it’s dangerous, so Arel-nim shouldn’t come this way.”
Seina grabbed me and held on to a structure on one side of the deck.
Asha also tries to show a resolute face, but he is already very blue.
….Sorry, I forgot he got motion sickness.
In the midst of such mixed feelings, the giant iron wire carrying us finally encountered the Kraken.
The Kraken pretended to stretch out its tentacles as if expecting to throw food as usual.
Eight cheeky things!
In return for such a kraken, a steel wire crashed into the kraken’s head.
cooong!
I felt a rather unusual shaking.
….Ah, but I hope this won’t ruin the ship, right?
I was also nervous about it now, but after receiving the report, they said there was no damage to the ship.
Instead, the Kraken vomited black ink and fell limp and sank into the sea.
Even a huge monster could not withstand the impact of a 9,000-ton machine at full speed.
look! This is the anti-kraken only charge tactic!
Wherever you look, what is your tactic?
If you stick with it, everything will come true.
Please pray for the souls of the unfortunate giant mollusk that died!
“…Anyway, I won’t have to worry about monsters or reefs with this.”
If something gets in the way, I’ll break it all down and go.
Be beautiful.
This is the super gangster trade ship of the ocean created by science and magic.
It unexpectedly proved that there is no problem in terms of strength.
I asked if I could pick up the dead Kraken and eat it just in case, but the sailor smiled bitterly and stopped.
It is said that you have to try to eat it, but it is rotten and tough.
That’s too bad.
By the way, when I said that I had successfully hit and killed the Kraken, I could see the other sailors laughing in a strangely happy way.
Why is that?
“Even though it looks like that, it is a monster that lives in fear and is called the devil of the sea among sailors. I usually avoid it, but everyone seems to have hurt their pride.”
“Hmm, are you a demon? there’s nothing wrong If you see anything like that in the future, just smash it.”
After hearing the sailor’s explanation, I snorted.
The sailors also gave me a friendly look, as if they thought I was joking.
No, really, there’s nothing wrong with the devil, right?
With permission to roam freely until the test drive was over, the other invitees also began wandering around inside the trade ship to see the places they wanted to see.
And depending on each person’s position and purpose, the place to look at is a different law.
For example, Arel was just hanging out with his entourage on deck because he just wanted to play and enjoy watching the ship he designed move.
Meanwhile, Viscount Gernil walked around the crew room and weapon storage for minimum protection, putting on a nervous expression that he hadn’t shown before in front of Arell.
“…It’s much bigger than I thought.”
How much luggage can be loaded?
How many people can it accommodate?
In addition, weapons loaded to protect the ship…
Allel said it was simply to prepare for monsters and pirates, but the loaded weapons were all unusual.
As well as the usual arrows.
It is loaded with weapons that have proven their reputation in real wars, such as repeater-style crossbows.
Of course, that’s not a problem.
This is something that has already been discussed.
I just said I was asking for your understanding, but if you have the right to refuse it, that’s questionable.
Now, who would refuse to do what Arel wants to do?
Even if it’s permission, when Arell sends the documents, he checks them and says, ‘What should I do?’ ‘Is it okay?’ Even if I had anxiety, I just took a picture.
Actually, let’s talk about the truth that Viscount Gernil doesn’t know.
Arel had no intention of putting too much pressure on them.
If they said that it was too much and said something they didn’t like, Arel would say, ‘Ah? is this a bit overkill? I’m sorry?’
However, whether to call it Arel’s fame or notoriety, the leaders who recalled the scene of the ruin of the Holy Kingdom were afraid to even dare to say a word to Arel.
That’s why Arel was so excited that he asked for permission for this and that, but they had to grant permission each time, trembling in fearful delusion with their own standard, completely blue.
The result was a ship that initially had to be slightly remodeled as a trade ship.
At some point, the goal is to be completely rebuilt.
It even reached the point where it was loaded as a weapon.
Actually, Arel did not even think of this as a warship and said, ‘Ah? What kind of a toy is this warship?’, but Viscount Gernil and other leaders in the home country had to foam at the mouth when they heard about the finished product of this ship.
Where is that one trade ship?
As long as you load soldiers and load weapons, it’s not even a matter of completely conquering the whole area anywhere you can reach the sea if you make up your mind.
In addition, the black color was enough to make them tremble in fear.
something ominous
Isn’t it like the devil floating on the sea?
“Oh yeah…
Eventually Viscount Gernil came to the conclusion that he was asked to confirm whether Arell really did not intend to use this ship as a weapon, following the pleas of the king and his vassals.
eventually surrender
If you’re that anxious, you’ll have to check them out!
he grumbled inwardly.
‘…Did he really not intend to use this as a weapon…?’ As a lord, he was proud that he had the eyes to grasp the character of a person.
However, it was difficult even for him to understand Arell’s intentions.
It was like that two years ago too.
Arell Ernesia is really ridiculous in a way and.
The momentum pushing it had completely drained his mind.
Of course, if the current Arell is less, it’s not that.
Although they occasionally ran into each other because of work, each time Arel was becoming more and more unbearable.
There were times when I wondered if I had to stop it somehow, but I didn’t even dare to do that.
Because it’s not like you’re doing any damage.
Rather, as soon as the information about Arel’s promotion of intercontinental trade was true, merchants flocked to his territory.
When trade begins, honey can be sucked up with only the promised fee.
As a lord, it’s something to laugh about.
As a country’s aristocrat, how should I accept it
…
Viscount Gernil had to rack his brains to think of an excuse.
I don’t know what you think above.
At first, I thought I should appease them.
I don’t know what Arel really is, but at least it’s true that he shows great interest in this ship and in intercontinental trade.
Otherwise, no matter how new the ship is, will he personally come to the place to test it?
‘Is the master of the Mage Tower of Ernesia also involved in the development of this ship?’
I had already heard and knew that the Mage Tower was involved in developing a machine that was unknown to me as a mana engine.
However, I never thought the Mage Tower owner himself would have been involved.
It’s a yard like this, so it’s not good to pour cold water on it because of concerns that have no physical evidence.
Specifically, I thought there was nothing good about hurting Arel.
