Let's Manage The Tower

The Varing Sea is a sea between the Central and Western continents.

Due to the closest distance between the Central and Western continents, many ships have long been at the centre of maritime traffic.

By the time we get to the western cities of the Central Continent and the cities of the Column Kingdom on the western continent, there is no land at all, but small islands exist like rocks.

Even so, there is not enough land to build a nation, and there is only land about the size of a small island.

For this reason, a state centered on small islands was not created, but only existed as a relay point.

You can sail between the western city and the Kingdom of Column in about twenty days on the latest sailboat.

Historically, we found a route from the western continent to the central continent, but it initially took about three months, so we made great progress.

Of course, it involves various factors such as discovery of the shortest route, advances in ship technology, and advances in navigational magic.

As long as the number of days is about twenty, it is not a distance with major military problems.

Still, the Column Kingdom has never attempted to attack the Central Continent because it was pointing its power into the continent.

And one of the reasons is that there was no country to attack with a large army.

Even if I didn't go out of my way to attack militarily, I was left alone because I was good enough.

Otherwise, if we tackled the Central Continent poorly, countries from the same continent and countries from other continents could emerge.

In addition, the Central Continent is a monster's treasure trove.

There is no way to keep it as a nation in return.

For that reason, he benefited from trading with a western city that existed as a city.

The convoy was docked next to an island in the Varling Sea.

Marco, the captain of the fleet, had a difficult look on his arm when he hit the flagship in the fleet.

While Marco was captain of the fleet, he was also appointed Admiral of the navy of the Kingdom of Column.

With one of the Admirals on the expedition, it is clear that the Kingdom of Columns attaches great importance to this matter.

Of course, Marco knows that, but the current situation was a poor one.

High-ranking officials in Marco's vicinity have the same look on their faces.

Originally, I had no plans to dock in a place like this.

But the other day, when I tried to move on from here, I realized I wasn't moving on.

To be precise, we can sail about a day from this island.

But we can't go any further.

There's no such thing as a physical wall.

But if we go some way, we're back in the same place.

It was like a lost forest on land.

When I checked with the wizards on board in a hurry, I found that there was magic like a lost forest.

I came to the conclusion that even if I tried to break the magic, it was not very easy, but impossible.

"... at all. The king told me to be very careful, but I didn't expect this."

Marco said that unexpectedly, but the people around her looked similar and approaching.

It was the first time Marco had spent years on the ocean.

Not many wizards brought in in the first place, so there was no way to deal with it.

I can't help it when I get back, because it is said that it is impossible to break even if I bring the largest number of people.

We couldn't make it back like this, so we had to find a way to move on.

In this helpless situation, I couldn't go any further, I couldn't go back to my country with nothing to do, and I was trying to find a way to deal with it.

It was the next day that the situation changed.

The sentry has spotted a commercial vessel sailing from the Central Continent.

Naturally, the story was passed on to Marco.

Having heard the story, Marco made an immediate decision.

We know that the commercial vessel is on its way to this island.

The island next to where the convoy is now anchored is an important hub for getting to the Kingdom of Column from the western city of the Central Continent.

When I got to the island, I thought I'd talk to the captain.

The only thing that happened was that I decided to get off the ship and head for the island.

Of course, it was accompanied by several escorts.

Since it was a small island, there was a rule that if a new ship came and replenished it, the previous ship would give up the place for replenishment.

As a result, the new merchant vessel from the Central Continental side was replaced by a vessel that was stuck in the middle of the ship without going to the Central side.

However, there are merchant faces in the area between captains.

Since we both knew the situation, it seemed that we had a contract to exchange luggage and return to each other's original continent.

Fortunately, each other's ships were the same size.

It was a splendid gesture to replace the originally loaded products with each other and complete the negotiation.

When our captains broke each other's faces, it would have been a good story for both.

Marco, who saw the faces of the two captains, concluded so.

The reaction of the two captains, who saw Marco's face, was split beautifully.

One twitched his face and one smiled.

I can tell which side of the merchant is the other, even if I don't bother to check.

"I don't intend to disturb dealings between merchants. I just wanted to talk to your captain."

"Yes, yes. Now that the deal is over, I'm leaving."

The captain, who had his face twitched, left as soon as he said so.

"Is that what you're asking me?

Without Marco asking any questions, the captain came up with a card.

"Don't be so quick and helpful. So, what's that?

"It's a crown card."

Marco turned his face to the captain who answered briefly.

Marco, a soldier, can certainly hide his expression.

I deliberately showed that expression.

"... you know what that means?

No one knows that the Crown, which is now powerful on the continent, belongs to the Amamiya Tower.

And it was already widespread rumor that the column kingdom had no good relationship with the Amamiya tower at present.

"Of course. Or rather, someone told me to show it to you."

"... what?

"Even if you take this from me, it's impossible to cross that border. Everything seems to be working with my magic."

"But why don't we just take you all?

"That's no good either. It seems to apply only to that ship... strangely enough."

Marco whispered in his heart.

As it stands, it is impossible to tell whether the captain's story before us is true or not.

However, emotionally, I thought the captain's story was true.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have bothered to send the merchant vessel to the place where they were coming out.

By the way, Marco knew that Crown Cards reacted with their own magic alone.

Naturally, the story has been told in the column kingdom, and is well researched, but the principle is not understood at all.

The captain continued his words to Marco, who was wondering what to do with the captain.

"Then, two days from today, they're going to show you an interesting show in the daytime. Until then, it seems better not to decide what to do with me."

He seemed to fully understand what his destiny was.

"... why do I have to wait so long?

"Can you just take me back to my country like this?

"... is that the wisdom of the Amamiya Tower?

"Well, what do you think?

Marco decided to accept the captain's words in the first place, after showing a clever imitation of shrugging his shoulders with a smile.

Whether you go to the Central Continent or back to the kingdom, there's still plenty of room in the schedule.

I can wait for about two days.

I thought it would be a good idea to check to see if the information the Messenger brought was correct.

However, Marko's decision at this time continued to trouble him even after he retired from the military.
