Legend

Ray, who finished selling Sandserpent material, was out of Gosh with Seto.

Even though I didn't get a request, I just can't help being suspicious that I'm going out of town like this.

But in anticipation of that, Ray told the receptionist when he sold the Sandserpent material that he had a hobby of collecting demon stones.

He was a gosh adventurer guild who had some information about Ray from the marina, but he wasn't informed that he had a hobby of collecting demon stones.

Most of the time, I went outside because I had other things to do than collect the demonic stones of monsters living in the desert.

(With that said, there was also a desert origin at the Vestian Empire Martial Arts Games... something subtly different. Even though you say you live in the desert, are you different from everything else? In the first place, it's possible that the desert people are a special clan)

Looking at the sea of sand stretching from the sky to one side of the ground, Ray flies through the desert sky on Ceto, pondering a fuzzy question.

The desert during the day...... that also means that it is about 100m above ground, direct sunlight is quite intense and windy.

However, for Ray, who wears a dragon robe, he is able to spend time unusual, especially.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

The same is true of Seto, who enjoys being able to fly in the air with Ray so much that he was throbbing in an upper mood.

"Seto, there are no people around you...... right?

"Grr!"

One side is the desert, and few can go after the rays flying in the first place.

Less, it wouldn't exist in Gosh.

Still, just in case, Ray asked Seto, but naturally Seto rattled his throat that he was okay.

"Right. Then get down to the right place. I have a few things to verify."

To Ray's words, Seto descends to the ground with his throat rattling.

It's only been about enough since we left Gosh, but if we're going to walk through the desert, that's what we're already away from to a place in a day.

Unlike the Kingdom of Mireana, where there are streets, there is nothing like a clear passage just to be desert in this neighborhood.

Then naturally you have to walk on the sand every time, and it would naturally make a difference in speed compared to traveling down the street.

That's how when you get down to places like exactly the middle of the desert, where nobody's around you, the first thing Ray did was take the Sandserpent demon stone out of Mystering.

"... well, for now, there's only one demon stone here... can I have it?

"Gru."

Seto, whose many skills are leveled on the World Tree matter, nods back at Ray's words.

When he gently strokes Seto's head like that, Ray takes the Death Size out of Mystering and throws the Demon Stone into the air.

The Death Size blade flashed, and in the next moment the Demon Stone was slashed in two...

[Death size is "Corrosion Lv. IV 'skills acquired]

Such an announcement message goes past the back of my brain.

"Corrosion, huh?... Why? No, I was talking about sandserpents being poisonous, so what's that got to do with it? But I think you could use a poison blow or something like that, just like the poison claws Ceto has."

It was Ray looking at Death Size like he was a little confused, but that's by no means something he hated.

Corrosion that does not offer many opportunities for unarmed monster opponents, but it is a very effective skill when dealing with the presence of a weapon in their hands.

(Well, if you use corrosion, the weapon naturally rots... and you can't take away the weapon after you defeat the target)

It is user-friendly, but therefore there are problems… it was a very difficult skill to handle.

"But it's level four, so you'll probably be as powerful as a flying slaughter if you get to level five next.... If I could, I'd just like you to express your ability to undo corroded weapons with it... but I guess I can't"

Ray grunts looking at the Death Size blade.

I usually try here to see what effect my skills will have, but corrosion is naturally why I need to rot... I don't have a weapon that Ray can only throw away as many spears as he has prepared for throwing, and I reject that idea after a few thoughts.

(I don't even have a spear. At any rate, you can use it when the enemy comes out.)

Once the Death Size skill acquisition was complete, there was one more thing to do… a survey of the Sandship.

Seto, get away from me for a second.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Ringing his throat at at Ray's words, Seto taking distance.

When he makes sure he's got enough distance, Ray takes the sand aboard from the mistering.

Sand aboard that suddenly appears in a space of nothing.

If anyone watching this sight was outside of Ray and Seto, they wouldn't have understood what had happened.

(No, or do you think he showed up from across the dunes...?

It was an idea that was somewhat impossible, but it was something that could be explained rather than thinking that he suddenly appeared from a space of nothing.

"Well, I'll see if I can move this sand onboard normally later..."

Naturally Ray has no experience of moving sand aboard. On the contrary, I don't even have the experience of moving a ship.

I've been on a ship before, but if they ask me if that helps maneuver a sandy ship, I'll have to lean my neck.

In other words, Ray needed to learn how to maneuver on his own to use the sand onboard for the first time.

Of course some gosh will be able to maneuver sandy ships, but it is naturally known that Ray is close to Augusto.

More than that, I didn't think Ray now had anyone to teach him how to maneuver a sandy ship.

Perhaps it would have been different if Augusto could have used sand boarding, but if he was Augusto's ancestor, there is still no reason why Augusto now has the opportunity to pilot sand boarding.

I'm not gonna ask Daridora, the owner of this sandy ship.

It was Ray thinking inside as he looked up on the sand boat, but now Daridora is more likely than not to have managed to choose a path that would not be hostile to Ray, if Ray had honestly asked Daridora how to maneuver the sand boat.

... although Ray never found out about it.

Seto, help me if anything happens.

Ray said that as a mild joke, but I guess Seto thought he meant what Ray said. I'll take care of it! And I'll rattle my throat well.

"... yeah, I left it to you"

I didn't expect you to be serious, Ray, but naturally I'm glad Seto worries about himself.

Keep me on Ceto and move onto the sand boat, I look around the deck.

If it was meant to be, it wouldn't be strange if there were traces of blood on the deck from the battle because it was the sand thief aboard.

But as far as Ray was looking right now, there was nowhere like a blood trail.

That would be thanks to Seto's use of the king's intimidation when capturing the sand thief.

The king's intimidation leveled in one of the world trees was powerful enough to keep the sand thieves from moving.

Of course not all the sand thieves could no longer move due to the King's intimidation, but the few sand thieves who were accidentally on the sand boat managed to move...... Still, the movement has slowed down as a secondary effect of the King's intimidation, and it is easy for the guards, including Zaroost, to capture such people.

Since we were able to capture the sand thieves with very little blood, the deck of the sandy ship currently spreading in front of Ray was a beautiful one.

... but it is beautiful in the sense that there are no blood marks, and the kind of garbage rolling on the deck remains intact.

"It hasn't been that long since the sand thieves started using this sand onboard. What's all this rubbish?

On the deck are broken weapons, some of them like dried meat for eating.

Various other trash exist, but it's an amazing sight from Ray's eyes to see how we can get so dirty in a short time.

(Whether you want to sell it or use it by me, do you have to clean it?... That stinks. Oh, should I recruit in the guild? Luckily, now I don't think anyone would imitate stealing magic items from me)

While walking on the deck, Ray figured out a way to clean up the sand boarding.

It turns out that he is an adventurer with the alias Deep Red, and in Gosh's guild, it shouldn't have been a bad idea to be involved in Ray right now.

The adventurer involved the day before hasn't seen his face in the guild today either, and it's probably something he's scared of Ray's identity.

"Ma, if you do the cleaning right, you can forgive me."

Whimpering, telling Seto to get away from the sandship before going inside.

The hull itself is very solid, just to say that it was made in the magical guiding city of Ozos.

I guess it boasts an overwhelming load compared to a carriage, but Daridora used this sand boarding as an item to boast her own wealth rather than practicality.

It was actually used to the point of counting, and those few opportunities were this Auguste raid... so Ray took it so lightly that I would have to say it was tragic.

When he entered this sandy ship before, Ray, who had firmly found where to move this sandy ship, went straight to the cockpit without showing any particular loss.

It is also in the center part inside the sandy ship, not very much but not where you can see what's going on outside.

But still, you're right here to steer the sand aboard. Because...

"... the magic items are all aligned and have a fantastic effect, but doesn't this feel SF in one way or another?

At the end of Ray's gaze of whining is a total of four boards, each affixed to the front, back, left, and right.

In the center of the room there was a crystal like object on the pedestal, a very simple cockpit with only two of them.

Glimpse inside that room and relieve yourself that unlike elsewhere, it is not tainted at all.

The sand thieves probably knew that this was the most important place on the sand ship.

"Do you move it with this?... Is this a demon stone? Oh, I see."

There was space in the pedestal supporting the crystal, where there was one demonic stone.

I didn't know what it was for at first, Ray, but I understood it as soon as I thought about it.

This sandy ship is a magic item and the only way to move it is to shed magic or use demon stones.

And let the magic flow...... it was also very, but impossible for the sand thieves around it, regardless of the wizard who has more than some strength if he were to be free to handle the magic power of just moving this much sand aboard the ship.

"No problem in my case, though."

If it's just the amount of magic, there's probably no one better than you, even Elgin. With such confidence, take out the demonic stones that were in the pedestal and store them in the mistering.

It was an act from the thought that there was already little magic left, but it might help somehow.

"... Well"

Reach for the crystal and let the magic flow.

Moments, the sand boarding gently trembles and wakes up.

The first thing that happened was that the outside view was reflected on the front, back, left, and right plates attached to the cockpit.

Isn't that more science than fantasy? And I thought Ray was just like earlier, but it's not like he's showing footage in a camera kind of way, he's just using a bunch of mirrors made of alchemy to deliver footage outside to the cockpit.

In other words, if something blocks the passage of that footage... or someone blocks it, the footage will be interrupted.

In that sense, it was definitely an external confirmation device that was difficult to use.

"It doesn't matter if I ride alone. I don't care if someone else gets on board, you just have to watch out for the area."

Whimpering, it was also true that as a Ray, the appeal I already feel for this sandy ship was greatly diminished.

It's good to be able to move large numbers at once, but otherwise it's too user-friendly.

If you're going to carry a lot of luggage, you have mysteries.

If you're going to travel quickly through the desert, you just have to let me ride Seto.

The only advantage was that Ray could do more than anything, and the only handle would carry a lot of people at once.

"It's also desert... desert of sand only"

If you can move places like rocky deserts, meadows, and trampled streets, it's still useless for Ray if you can only move on the sand.

"Before I go back to the guild, but should I put it up for sale at an auction or something"

Ray shrugged as he traveled on a sandy boat over the desert.
