Episode 204: Beyond the Southern Desert

North shore of the African continent, the port of Hadasht.

When he returned with metamorphotic magic, the Silesier Outer Fleet was about to leave its flagship, Queen Reiki Silhouette, for pirate exorcism.

I don't mind because you left me the flagship.

Shortly after I speak up, I'm leaving for the pirate crusade at the behest of Captain Drake. From the deck of the ship, I saw Drake waving his prosthetic hand.

"Coming, my lord!

"Hey, Drake. I'm really overstretched!

He's gone.

There are eight pirate galley ships and two Ziebeck ships connected in the harbor that Captain Drake has been nabbing.

There was a silhouette, and how many pirates did you exorcise while I was away for about two days?

When I spoke to the harbor people, the Silesier Outer Fleet, led by Admiral Drake, seems to be on its third outing. You're doing too much.

Well, it's good because if you're dealing with a weak pirate around here, you won't lose.

Anyway, let's leave Drake alone, who's all about making money now, and let's get to work over here.

We were to be escorted home by a reptile merchant in the city.

If you fly through the sky, the desert can cross quickly, but you dare to tread land for a reason.

I wanted to go down the walking route and see if human merchants could trade on the African continent as well.

Conclusion - I can't.

During the day, the desert rises to fifty degrees Celsius.

Frequent sandstorms whether this or not. The sand hits my body and it hurts.

Though Kaala manages to travel because he ends up lowering the temperature with water magic and blowing sandstorms with wind magic.

Crossing this desert is tight even for me, reinforced by the power of the brave.

It's too dangerous a route for humans, so I'm glad it's just me and my escort Kaala.

Ordinary soldiers are wiped out.

The Reptiles' gifts to their tribe are being carried by merchants.

The race of reptiles (Reptilians) has a truly sturdy body.

Anyway, that skin even plays a musket gun bullet, so it should be fine to get a powerful sandstorm.

And while small oases are dotted in the desert of the desert, they cannot be discovered without the sense of smell of reptiles (Reptilians) who smell and divide the water.

There can't be a desert without maps, roads, etc.

And a little off the route, a swarm of cannibal sand runs (sandsnakes), four to five metres long, strikes.

... or you don't have to come off to get attacked by the smell of a long time prey (carrot).

Surrounded by a flock of sand walks (sandsnakes), I wondered how to deal with this, and the reptile (Leptilian) merchant is in a hurry.

Oh, could this suck, too?

I thought reptile (Leptilian) merchants were used to traveling.

"What am I supposed to do with this?

"Nigel, Nigel!

Running away!

You're not gonna get away with this!

"Father, shall I do it?"

"Ah Kaala, I've already done it!

"May Kaala Demonia Demonics not lay down and pray, the glowing Dawn Pluto on the far side of the stars, manifest himself above the confines of time and space to earth, and bring no doom to everything!

Huge swarms of sand (sandsnakes) were also wiped out by numerous meteorites whose skies darkened and flew from the starry sky that extended into the sky.

"Awesome! Awesome!

It's hard to tell the ups and downs of the emotions of a cold-blooded reptile (Leptilian), but I can tell I'm thrilled because I'm shaking my long tail and slapping my hand.

The awesome one is Kaala, not me, right?

He seemed like a merchant and negotiated for me to hire him, but I laughed bitterly that this one wanted to hire him.

Anyway, now it turns out that it is impossible for humans who are not even senior magicians to come and go through this desert.

But at the same time, a bit of field research also showed that it was a hell of a delicious land.

It is a strong land of magic. A demonic jewel glittering in the desert is exposed there.

Well, a reptile (Leptilian) merchant should be able to sell demon gems at a lower price.

All you have to do is pick up some demonic gems that are falling a little while you're on the move.

There was even a mine where rubies and diamonds would come out if I dug a little to try, even though I could still tell.

If you go to the land where reptiles (Reptilians) live, they even have gold mines.

Also, as it stands, there is no use for it, but there is even a point where the crude oil is washed out. Exactly what the gold and silver treasure is Zac Zak, Golden Town (Eldorado) is actually about this desert of the desert?

If we could pioneer this place, it would be a land of immense wealth.

But as it stands, it's a desert in a harsh environment where only reptiles (Reptilians) can operate.

In exchange for food they seem to prefer, I'm going to have to ask them to pick up rubies and diamonds and gradually move on with the development.

Now, the reptile (Leptilian) lives a lot at the foot of a mountain called Smoke Mountain (Erta alle) across the desert.

Once again, even on the map of the Eura continent, the land is given the place name Abyssinia.

They have named themselves the Sheba tribe, and the land is also called Sheba.

The mountain of smoke (Erta alle), as its name suggests, active volcano and smoke coming out of the lava, was at a lower altitude than I thought.

From the foothills of that low mountain springs up, becoming a great river.

Smoke comes out because of the abundance of groundwater. I'm sure there must be a hot spring if you look closely.

Reptiles (Reptilians) tend to be misunderstood as living in the desert.

Since there is a great river in the land of Sheba, there are fields that can be farmed properly.

That would be right, something that has no food in the desert.

Cassava, the tropical shrub of the family Imonokidae (usually me), and cocoa trees grow as food, and they eat it and live it.

Cassava may not be familiar with it.

When starch is removed from the root stem (konkai) of this, it often becomes a tapioca in milk tea. Actually, it's a familiar ingredient.

"Fine, I want a tapioca milk tea"

"Is that delicious, Father?

Yeah, it's delicious, Kaala.

Let's take a little bit home and raise it on Viola's exam farm. Over there, you'll manage to grow up even if the climate is different.

Cassava is poisonous. Though it is difficult to require a process of detoxification to be edible.

Even after deducting that hassle, it is also nutritious as an imo, with the ease of cultivating more stems simply by stabbing them on the ground.

When the leaves are fermented and poisoned, they also feed the livestock. It's a fairly versatile crop.

Also native here are rare trees that serve as raw materials for frankincense, as well as precious incense trees such as sandalwood.

A land surrounded by vast deserts, miraculously graceful in crops.

Its grace, the local reptiles (Reptilians), believe as a blessing of the Mother Chaos God.

The Chaos Mother of the Devil Faith is close to the Arthama Faith of the People.

A mountain of smoke (erta alle) that sprays fountains to grace the land of Sheba, surrounded by a dry desert, is its symbol.

Fire Dragon (Salamander), a dragon of wind and flame born when hot smoke and cold clouds erupt from the fire escape collide.

The Reptile (Leptilian) Spellman (Sherman) worships the Fire Dragon (Salamander) as the Messenger of the Mother Chaos God, and while appreciating his grace, he also serves as a force of war.

"Yo, yo, yo, I got whacked. Kita People"

"Hello -"

I have language cheats, so I know what strangers say.

The Sheba chiefs try to speak in the language of the people halfway through, so they sound odd.

Enter the house of the reptiles (Reptilians), made of great earth, and greet the chief of the Sheba with a light nori.

Even though he's this reptile (Leptilian), Sheikh De Sheva Deba, who has a white beard, says he's sixty years old this year.

In the Reptile (Leptilian) Sheva tribe, which is stubborn but only has a life expectancy of less than forty years.

Elders like the De Chieftain are especially cherished as those with old wisdom.

Speaking of which, the Sheba tribe was a very friendly tribe in the blink of an eye.

The demonic tribe of the African continent is completely different from the demonic impression people have.

Perhaps the awareness that the environment is surrounded by a harsh desert and that we cannot survive without actively trading makes the demonic tribes of the south friendly.

Of all the gifts I've brought, sugar is the most appreciated.

Reptiles (Reptilians) have no eyes for sweet food, as I asked Castilian senior magician Lebnand.

So the only sweet-tasting cocoa fruit in this land of Sheba is weighed rarely among them.

What they want is the fruit of cocoa. You can't eat the cocoa beans inside, but you don't really need them.

It was also logical that we would be most welcome to trade it for sugar that tasted intensely sweet.

I haven't had a customer in a long time, so I started serving liquor with a pinch of cassava powder called hoohoo hoo.

There is no art in drinking only.

"Well, let's toast to your approaching mark with tapioca milk tea"

"Tapioca milk tea?"

I made tapioca from Cassava and combined it with the tea they brought with the milk they took from the camel, the only livestock they could use.

I try to make them drink tapioca milk tea made with plenty of sugar and make it their favorite sweet flavoring.

"What do you say?

"Umay!"

Camel milk is saltier than milk and tastes a bit more habitual, but that would also be just the right salt plum if the tannins of tea and the sweetness of sugar were mixed.

Iron, which tends to be scarce in the desert, as well as vitamin-rich, nutritious beverages.

"I'll teach you how to make it, so make it"

"Aligato, you're more Yoy than a former Kita mage. It even ossietes me to a new way of eating."

Chief De was very pleased, but he has a heart.

Now it would be an even better business over here if you could sell tea along with sugar as well.

Trading with the Sheva tribe, many of the products that can only be taken here, will be important in the future.

It was a shame that the interests in the transaction with the Sheba were taken from the Kingdom of Castilia.

It is precisely in the desert where man turns no attention that treasure is buried.

Golden Town (Eldorado) for me seemed surprisingly close.

"Kita People"

"Yes, yes, what is it, Chief De?"

For some reason, I'm known as Kita's by a white jawbearded de chief.

I guess it means someone from the north. I think it is a more thankless call than the valiant of Silesier.

"Because of the took, it's Kita's, so why don't you drop the tare too?"

"Tane?"

Bassah, when Chief De opened the curtain of the tent, there were a few reptile (Leptilian) girls there.

Reptile (Leptilian) girl, I wonder what to say.

I'm not a snake woman, like that when it comes to the closest thing I think. The iris of your eyes is lengthwise, right?

The difference with the best of the reptiles (Reptilians) is that they have big tails growing out of their tailbones.

My skin is a reptile scale, but it's smooth, limp, and I feel a little bit closer to humans.

The beautiful child's face is also close to a human being, and she has a chillo and a broken tongue, and the flush has a strange charm characteristic of a serpentine girl.

"It would be helpful if you dropped the tare too"

"No, no!"

What, is that what Tane means? I was about to be dragged inside the futon by a few reptile (Leptilian) girls and rushed to say no.

I've also heard somewhere about the custom of occasionally putting in the blood of travelers who come when this is a remote area that has little interaction with the outside.

But no way, I didn't think you'd recommend me to a different race at all.

The race is different, and I managed to get forgiveness by explaining that I have a wife and I don't cheat.

Apparently, I would have brought Kaala and other demons. They thought it would be okay.

That's all I'm thankful to hear because it means you're feeling it nearby...

Reptile (Leptilian) girls feel even more wild than the half-dragon god, Dragon Maiden (Dragon Maid) arr.

It wasn't so bad when I touched the cold skin in cold blood either, but if I got my hands on it already there, I'd be beyond human too.

It also makes me want to try out what it's like, but let's stop it.

Other than my wife, I'm patient because she decides not to do that.

"Good night, Father of the Nation."

"Yeah."

During my journey on the African continent, Kaala, my wife, is in the same tent, so I have no patience.

Traveling through exotic lands, it's really a lot to do.
