Chapter 82 - The beginning of the Age of Discovery

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

 

The large-scale investment in the island of Jores of the Kara Kingdom and the Central Church became a big topic in the world.

It’s called ‘Development Plan for the Age of Anti-Sailing.’

Some objected that the plan was too futile, but when news broke that a trading fleet carrying thousands of tons of spices and spices had left Magasta on the Azzenka continent and arrived in Ramis, all doubts disappeared. 

Thousands of tons of spices and spices, almost the price of gold.

Of course, since the trade volume has increased significantly, the price will plummet, but the quantity itself was very surprising. This is because spices and spices now have an opportunity to become daily necessities that can be used habitually not only by the aristocracy but also by the general public.

If the number of trade vessels increases, the number of items traded between continents will increase significantly. In other words, it means that not only can we import textile products, dyes, various favorites, and ores, which are general specialties of the Azzenka continent, but we can also export weapons, pharmaceuticals, and low-cost textiles to other continents from the Prosia continent.

 

The time of opportunity has come.

 

Wise merchants and lower aristocrats were busy sending people to the Central Church and Kara to figure out the development plan, and some pre-occupies a branch in the coastal city through which the maritime trade route passes, to prepare for the soon-to-be-opened age of voyages.

 

In the meantime, along with the monster subjugation unit dispatched by the Central Church, numerous continental people visited Jores Island. They were the ones who mined gold and silver to fulfill their dream of making money. Well, since everyone doesn’t have much to do, it was expected that they would soon transform into great industrial workers who provide valuable labor.

“Aww.”

 

Kara’s morning dawned again. I woke up from the bed, staring at my empty arms and drooling. There is no Shura and Padilla. It looked like he had gone out for morning training again.

‘Shura is very passionate.’

Recently, Shura knew that she had almost reached the level of mastery, and was devoting herself to training every day in order to become a master swordsman as soon as possible.

And Padilla was actively participating in this training. She was only training in the morning and evening as the queen’s affairs, but she was quite zealous. Her sense of duty as a great saint and her sense of crisis that her humanity might be destroyed stimulated her.

Thanks to her she was Armida and only her hard work. She is already a holy older sister who overslept and likes to play, but it was an embarrassment for her to be dragged around by two great saints every morning and evening.

“The Padilla is not really that destruction.”

But it doesn’t matter. No matter what kind of destruction it was, it was a great stimulus for Padilla.

Thanks to this, Padilla was quietly accepting her policy requests, and she looked more closely at her government affairs.

Having changed her clothes, I glanced over the desk. Some reports that appeared to belong to Padilla were scattered.

Intrigued, I looked through the report.

‘It’s a magic message sent by Kasim.’

 

The report that Kasim sent contained that he would install a portal tower in Kasim Castle.

It was said that the previous request from Matoap had been passed as a boom in the Age of Exploration, and the portal tower construction plan was decided.

The problem was that he was asking me to sell the Essence to be used in the Portal Tower from the Magic Tower. Currently, the kingdom of Kara is blocking the export of essence, so an exception was necessary to grant this request.

However, it was never about asking the central government to support Essence. Since Kasim Castle can procure itself, he only asked for permission to export.

It is said that Kasim has recently found a new way to hunt marine monsters and is procuring a large amount of Chaos Pieces, which are the ingredients for the Essence

 

‘Is it because you are from a bandit? I mean, Kasim works well with this kind of fine hair.’

Kasim’s new method of hunting marine monsters was to fire a lightning bolt with a magic bullet launcher and destroy it. It is a very useful strategy when dealing with marine monsters living near the coast.

I looked at the contents of the report, and when I saw the last document I saw, my eyes widened. This is a magic message sent by Nazir who was dispatched to Jores Island, and it contained a report that Nazir discovered a large-scale limestone area while subjugating monsters.

“Hey. Nazar has done a great job.”

Limestone is the main material for making cement. Cement can make buildings quickly, so it can be said that it is a very useful building material.

With a happy smile, I got ready to go to work and went out to the outdoor training center in the palace.

 

“Ummm…”

 

Padilla was demonstrating Gaussian magic while Shura and her sister Armida were watching. It was a very simple magic to form a handgun, but it was failing over and over because it was quite difficult in the process of operation.

But in the end, he created a handgun the size of a fist and flew it toward the sky.

Shura congratulated the seals with applause.

“Padilla. Well done.”

However, Armida’s mouth pouted as if she was completely dissatisfied.

“What do you do if it takes a few days to do that? The magic that I will learn in the future has accumulated and accumulated.”

 

“Sorry.”

Seeing Padilla apologizing, I approached Armida.

 

“It’s because Padilla is busy with government affairs.”

 

“Then we should cut back on government affairs and focus on magic. Is Great Saint Lady a kid’s joke?

 

Armida looked like she was already worried about next year. Around the spring of next year, I will meet again with Catherine and the others to gauge the growth of the disciple, but Padilla’s growth is so slow that I couldn’t help but relax.

 

“Still, thanks to Padilla, we were able to thoroughly prepare for destruction at the national level.”

 

“But······.”

 

“Sister. Our mission is to find the old sister’s friend and prevent the destruction of mankind, not a fight for pride. Even if we lose in a magic match, if we do our job well, we will win.”

 

Armida rolled her eyes.

“Okay. is it?”

“Yes. And as Padilla’s growth is slow, Shura just needs to get stronger. If Shura wins, we win the fight for pride. No matter what you say in a match, first place is the best. Even if it is calculated with a simple arithmetic formula, it is the same.”

“Yes?”

 

“Of course.”

Armida looked at Shura secretly.

“Shura. To work hard.”

 

“Yes.”

I looked at Padilla.

“Oh yeah. Padilla?”

“Yes. Grand Prince.”

“I happened to read the report from Kasim, and it seemed like a good offer. Allow it.”

Padilla made a slightly bewildered face.

“But we are blocking the export of Essence and Chaos Piece by national law, right?”

The law was made by my will.

“Except for things that came out while catching marine monsters.”

 

“Why?”

“It’s not good to block trade too tightly, and there are many advantages to activating the hunting of marine monsters.”

Currently, human hunting for monsters has been limited to ground and flying monsters. It is very difficult to catch marine monsters that live in the sea, and because the living space itself is different, it does not cause much harm to humans.

But if I could catch it, it would have been better to catch a sea monster as well. It was necessary to prepare a large amount of Essence in preparation for the era of destruction, and the place where the most monsters inhabit is the sea.

 

“Yes. okay.”

“And there’s a large limestone field that Nazar found?”

“Yes.”

“Tell them to figure out the amount of reserves and finish it with a production facility. Do not export outside. It might be of great use later.”

“Yes. all right. So what about the iron mines?”

 

“Iron mine?”

“Not long ago, an iron ore deposit area was also discovered.”

Iron is the most common metal in the world. Since the land mass of Jores Island is so wide, it will continue to be discovered in the future. But there was no need to produce it.

Iron is an essential commodity in war. It needed to be preserved for the future.

“Then tell me to do only trial production. It is better to bring in the resources necessary for the development of Jores Island as much as possible from outside.”

“Yes. I will do that.”

“Then I go to work. Do your best.”

“Bye.”

I took Shura and Armida to work. There was no need to go to work, but it seemed okay to play and eat for a day or two and to work often as a vital energy of life.

 

And since he was only in Kara’s palace, he looked strangely attentive. Padilla doesn’t do that at all, but I’m kinda cool. Anyway, there were some secret requests from the church, so it seemed like the Heungshinso business had to continue.

***

All the way to Khao Yan Market, I could see the market street. It was a market where spices and spices were traded in-between, but when a large amount of spices and spices came and went through the maritime trade route, they all went there.

It was a good thing.

Kara is the capital of the kingdom. If people do not continue to move out in this way, there will be insufficient foundations for housing and new industries to be built in the future.

 

Moreover, when the Age of Destruction comes, everyone in Kara must be relocated to Jores Island. Considering the transportation capacity at this time, it was better to keep the population at an appropriate level.

 

‘Madong-style iron horse.’

 

When I thought about evacuation, it ended up with a magical iron horse. Only when it was completed could the Shika people be safely moved to Jores Island.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

 

Currently, the development of the railway system is planned for the production of prototypes of four horse-powered iron horses and the construction of a railroad that leads to Mrs.

This is because there is too much money involved.

Of course, it was expected that a horse-powered iron horse would cost a lot to produce because it contains a huge amount of essence, but the construction of the railway also costs a lot of money.

 

This is because this great dessert is so wide.

 

But there were also advantages. This is because it is a wasteland where no one lives and there is no owner. Perhaps, considering the cost of land purchase, it could be said that the cost of building the railroad was greatly reduced.

“Okay. Let’s go in.”

 

We entered the Heungshinso and started preparing for the business. The first thing I did was edit the rate table. Now that Khao Yan Heungshinso’s reputation has risen, it was necessary to recalculate the request fee.

 

I raised the basic rate to 250 gold leas and greatly increased the various allowances. Roughly, meals were 3 rips a day, and business trips were 6 rips a day.

“Brother. Can I upload this much?”

 

“Of course. Our abilities have increased and our reputation has also increased, and we deserve this.”

 

I got the guts.

 

As compensation for the last war, he received 50,000 riffs of gold from Kara and received 30,000 riffs as a brokerage in exchange for participating in the church’s development of Jores Island. If I add 14,000 riffs of existing funds to this, my current total fortune is 94,000 riffs.

 

You don’t have to work for a penny.

 

At that moment, the office door opened with a knock at Heungshinso. I looked at the hooded female customer as they entered the office, with a complex and subtle expression on my face. It was because she was an unwelcome and, on the other hand, a welcome guest.

 

“Evelyn? What are you doing again with Kara?”

 

Evelyn raised one corner of her mouth.

 

“I came to sell something. I need some money.”

 

Turns out, she wasn’t a customer, but a merchant. I bought a blueprint for a magic iron horse with 10,000 gold leaf before, and I think it tasted good.

 

“No, I was given 10,000 riffs each, but you mean you’ve already used them all?”

 

“It’s because people on our side are spending a lot of money. Weirdly, because I had money, I used it all the time. Especially the owner is the worst.”

 

I secretly looked at Armida-sister. I don’t know why the Valkyries have such no sense of money.

“Okay. Come up this way.”

I took Evelyn to the second floor, a newly decorated drawing-room. The room was thoroughly soundproofed to protect customer information.

 

As I sat her down on the chair in front of her table, I said absurdly.

 

“Okay. What did you come to sell this time?”

 

“Something you might like.”

 

“Tell me.”

 

He pulled out a bundle of Evelyn blueprints. It looks like a magic bullet launcher, but it has a more complicated structure than the previous one.

 

“It’s a new version of the magic grenade launcher.”

 

I looked through the blueprint.

 

“What are the advantages?”

 

“A mana infusion function has been added.”

 

The mana infusion function was a function in which the mana ability injects mana to replenish the mana of the essence. It was a pretty decent feature. Although it is limited to those with mana abilities, it is because it greatly compensated for the shortcomings of the existing magic bullet launcher of three shots.

 

I quietly clenched my chin.

 

“How long does it take to replenish the essence of mana?”

 

“It varies from person to person. In our case, it would be almost instant, and in the case of a beginner’s mana swordsman, it would take about 3 minutes.”

 

“Isn’t that bad? Any other functions?”

 

“The range has been increased without additional mana consumption. It maximizes efficiency.”

 

“Okay? How long has it been?”

 

“About 80m?”

 

If it was 80m, it could be seen that the range was about a third longer than that of the existing magic bullet launcher.

 

It was a blueprint worth a thousand gold. The function is also a function, but the magic formula that increases the mana efficiency that goes into it was a great thing. Because it can greatly advance mankind’s magical engineering knowledge.

I stuck to one side of the blueprint.

 

“What’s this?”

 

“It’s a function that allows you to attach and detach the essence. When you run out of mana, you can switch the essence and keep firing. The essence that goes into it varies from the lowest level to the highest level.”

 

This was a nice feature too. Essence is expensive now, so it doesn’t have much utility, but in the era of destruction, it was the essence that overflowed with energy. If there was this function, it seemed that the combat power of the gunner could be raised sharply.

 

“How much do you want?”

 

Evelyn spread out five fingers.

 

“Five big ones.”

 

“Five hundred?”

 

“Five thousand.”

 

“Hey. It has a simpler structure than a magic iron horse, isn’t it? If it’s half that price, it doesn’t make sense.”

 

“Instead, it contains a magic formula that can maximize mana efficiency. Would this be pretty big?”

 

I pouted my mouth. It certainly is.

 

“Okay, three thousand.”

 

“Four thousand.”

 

“Then three hundred and five hundred. Don’t drag it too long, let’s do it this way.”

 

“Great. three hundred and five hundred.”

 

I took the blueprint and poured gold coins on the table.

 

I said to Evelyn, who was collecting the money.

 

“Anything else?”

 

“Tell me anything you want. I will tell the master.”

 

“Then all the weapons useful for hunting monsters. The war against monsters is in full swing on Jores Island right now, and we need a lot of weapons to support them.”

 

“Okay. I will prepare it.”

 

“And let me ask you one thing.”

 

“What?”

 

“About your master.”

 

Evelyn looked at me with her tired eyes.

 

“Why?”

 

“Just. I feel like I’ve been deceived by Kronos for some reason. I’m going to find out.”

 

Evelyn pondered for a long time before answering.

 

“All I can tell you is that our master has been on a mission three times. The former two are different worlds. The third is this world.”

 

“Okay? Do you think there will be a work rotation in Heaven?”

 

“No. I’ll just go back after the mission is over. If there is another mission, I will be dispatched.”

 

“How does the mission end?”

 

“It is said that when the guidelines of the times point to destruction, it is over.”

 

Apparently, the older sister’s friend who had left the house seemed to know what it meant when the guidelines of the times pointed to destruction. You must have experienced it twice already.

 

“Okay. Let’s do better in the future.”

 

I reached out and asked Evelynn for a friendly handshake. It seemed like it would be better to be friendly with them. In any case, they will become comrades in the Age of Destruction.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
