Chapter 255: CH 255

Fortress floating on water


That day, the citizens of Accuros fell into a panic. The country possessed the sole port in the Demon Continent, and in the open sea of that port was a floating gigantic metal ship.

It was a vessel with a magic metal hull and a stern tower that used Treant Wood, which was owned by the Spirit Tree of the Sanctuary. It was called the magic battleship Oceanus.

If a reason for why the Oceanus being in the open seas of Accuros had to be said, it was because Queen Fraal had requested an importation of grain through Ryuka. Teleportation and the Gate would have sufficed if it had been for a small amount, but it was impossible for the amount that an entire city was importing. And so, it was the Oceanus’ turn.
Including Accuros, the countries of the Demon Continent wished to come to an agreement for the importation of fruits and vegetables in exchange for exporting spices.
The spices got Papeck ecstatic. Until now, they were expensive spices that could only be traded after obtaining them by way of Samandour Kingdom, so that couldn’t be helped.

◇

「……I only requested the importation of grain though?」


「……does Iruma-dono intend on occupying Accuros?」

Queen Fraal and Ryuka escaped reality with dry smiles as they gazed at the majestic sight of the Oceanus approaching at a declining speed.

The port of Accuros and its citizens were greatly disturbed by the Oceanus coming alongside a pier.

Compared to the wooden ships of Samandour Kingdom, it’s size was all too clearly larger. The sailors that came from Samandour were jaw-dropped in blank amazement.

Sacks of wheat were unloaded one after the other from the moored Oceanus.

「……was that golem built by Iruma-dono?」
「No, though that golem looks to have been tamed. Its current body seems to have been created by Iruma-dono.」

As the master and her servant watched the cargo be unloaded, they looked at the golem doing the unloading, Titan, with complicated expressions.
There were Earth magic users that create golems in the Demon Continent as well. However, these were things made with wood and stone, and capable of only simple actions, so something such as an autonomous thinking golem did not exist here.

「That golem was given a body by Iruma-dono after the core of a stray golem was tamed.」
「In the first place, could golems be tamed?」
「No, I have never heard of anything like that happening. Iruma-dono is special.」
「Indeed. ……he had even employed an Arachne.」

Before the women’s eyes, the golem, likely made of magic metals, grabbed a sack of wheat and unloaded it separate from the hand that grabbed it.

「……a golem is capable of such things, right?」


「Ryuka, take a hold of yourself. Don’t think of that as a golem. Consider that as a sort of monster.」

After Ryuka fainted seeing the Arachne called Kaede, Takumi introduced her to their familiars. Ryuka was surprised by the Arachne Kaede, but when she was introduced to Titan, a bulky framed magic metal golem that similarly followed Takumi, her jaw was left open in surprise. Furthermore, when shown a giant wolf monster, a giant cat monster, and a raptor monster that manipulates lightning, Ryuka had abandoned any thinking.

「Hey Ryuka, that golem body looks to be adamantite alloy.」
「I know of the word “adamantite”. However, I have never laid eyes on that or mithril.」
「Magic steel is the best the Demon Continent could do, after all.」

Talking about that had once again made the two self-conscious of how technically underdeveloped their nation was. They watched Titan unload the cargo with envious eyes.

「Ours and the other nations in the Demon Continent have our own Tamers, but only to the extent of taming monsters to be beast riders.」


「Tamers, ……are not popular.」

There were a certain number of tamers that make use of monsters in the countries of the Demon Continent, but it’s not a job that is popular in countries that have a tendency of being biased towards combat jobs. Especially in the countries of the hot-blooded Beast Kings, there were few tamers and fewer beast riders. Even Accuros, which has plenty of Succubi that demonstrate high aptitude for magic, does not have pure tamers that use monsters to fight. There were only a few individuals specialized in training monsters for beast riders.

「According to Iruma-dono, when they tame monsters, there is a path of magic power that connects both sides. Because of that, it is possible for them to understand each other in detail.」
「Fumu, if a tamed monster ranks up, they would be a considerable force……」
「Yes, aiming for the likes of the familiars of Iruma-dono’s party may be too high, but I believe it is a good option to create a provisional unit.」

The offloading of cargo and loading of spices to and from the ship in the port was almost finished. Queen Fraal and Ryuka prepared to sort the imported grain and vegetables. That was because their country was not monopolizing all of it. Accuros, the entrance to the northern continent, was bound by an agreement to export to the other five nations. Owing to this, it would be a substantial profit.

Queen Fraal ordered Ryuka to ask Takumi for more imports.
Grains, fabric, potions, and many more items that the Demon Continent was in need of. Because of these transactions by way of Takumi, the trade with Samandour Kingdom’s one-sided conditions would be rectified.
