Magi Craft Meister

14-38 gossip 27 ships, their fate

"Well, thank you for your help"

"Oh, master."

Ekalt Tekles, a major merchant in Kup, a town on the southern tip of the Kingdom of Celluloa, has just fired a magician (Magicraftsman).

"Hmm... again from scratch, huh?"

Ecarte's dream is to visit countries by boat.

Neither is the ship. It is the largest ocean ship in the world.

It was his dream to build such a ship, board it, and explore the world. At thirty years old, he was said to be a business genius. That is why he has so far accumulated all his wealth.

But those dreams have gone back to blank, too.

Merchant enemies surrounded Ekalt's hired site chief and attempted sabotage. I should have kept it a secret, but with that information leaking out of somewhere, I would have thought that if they did business on such a big ship, I wouldn't be able to.

But the plot was only half successful. For Jens, who were visiting from the fold.

Originally, the work husband and technician should also be involved, but there was not a single casualty. On the contrary, the site chief is caught on the spot, being blamed for working on the craft that breaks the ship.

After that, the names of commercial enemies came up in the potato ceremony.

Happiness or unhappiness, there were no casualties thanks to Jens' rescue efforts, making the sentence for the killer somewhat lighter.

The mastermind, the merchant enemy, is expelled from Kup after confiscating his property.

The magician (Magicraftsman), who was the site chief, was found to have been forced to destroy his family after being taken hostage, and his sentence was considerably reduced.

Nevertheless, he had sometimes received some gold, which was also a sentence of expulsion. It would be salvation that the property was not confiscated.

Being deported means you have to go to a land without a living foundation. It's pretty tough because you can't stay within a hundred kilometers of Kup.

Roughly speaking, we have to go further north than Mount Laway, which can be found north of Kup.

"Well, he could do it anywhere"

A magician (Magicraftsman) can get quite a job wherever he goes. But if you're a commercial enemy... you weren't even interested in Ecarte anymore.

……

Docks for shipbuilding built in the mansion.

Until recently, a half-completed gigantic ship was seated, although it is now a cancer.

The money could have been reimbursed from the confiscated merchant enemy's property, but that's not the problem.

The problem is that the ship that was rowing until it was finished in six months was completely destroyed.

It was Reiko who eventually destroyed it to the point of being irreparable, but Ekalt did not blame it. Because I was working with life first, and most importantly, Jens was asking me to save that life.

"Well, even my life was in danger. If you blame me, you'll be punished."

While talking to himself like that, Ecarte left the dock behind.

"Sir."

"Yeah? What?

When Ekalt returned to the mansion, the butler rushed in.

"Yes, you two would rather be hired as magicians."

"What! Send me through to the small reception room right away!

Ecarte expressed his joy on his face. Now that he's fired the man who was head of the crime scene, a good magician (Magicraftsman) wants his hands out of his throat.

The butler immediately led those two to the waiting small reception room of the Ecarte.

"It's called Altaf"

I'm Jenner.

One is a tough guy around thirty and the other is a woman in her twenties or so, two said they were a couple.

"I am the Ecult. What can you two do?

Altaf will answer this question on his behalf.

"Right, I'll do anything the whole way, but I'm good at making big things, my wife is good at fine things"

"Ho, that's comforting"

Ekalt also felt that these two were somehow living apart, or mortally apart, but that didn't matter in Altaf's next words.

"I have an assistant golem, so I'm working fast."

"Oh my God!"

Very few magicians (Magicraftsmen) have Golem as their assistants. And they're good with arms, without exception, like that.

"Let's be honest. I heard that Mr. Ekalt is building a big ship, and here he is."

Accidents and rumours of commercial enemies have already spread to Kup and are now undeniable. But on the contrary, if a well-armed magician (Magicraftsman) were to come, that would have been welcome.

"So can I show you that golem?

So I'll make the final decision, Ekalt said. Taking it, Jenner took his seat and went to take the golem waiting on the table.

"I'm not going to accompany the golem all of a sudden."

What is Altaf's word. Ecarte also agreed to that.

"Thank you for waiting"

Soon, Jenner came back with the golem.

"Ooh..."

Breathtaking Ecult. Its golem, 160cm tall or only there, has a matte silver gray color and a human-like proposition.

Normally, the golem determines its physique and proportions according to its application. If it's for combat, it's for the whole thing, and if it's for boat racing, it strengthens your arms.

But the golem, which stood before the Ecarte, could be seen as human if he clothed himself and put something on his face.

"No, that if I saw this, I'd know what you guys are capable of. This way, please. Please help us."

It was in this way that the contract was signed, and Altaf and Ghenner, and one Golem, became the staff of the new Ecarte.

"Hmm, I think you're a little worried about strength..."

Now Altaf and Jenner were just being shown the ship's blueprints.

"... do they still think so?

"Yeah. Especially the bottom of the ship."

Ecarte recalled what a customer named Jin had said the other day about the bottom of the ship. He then decided that two magicians of different descent (Magicraftsmen) should reflect their opinions.

"Shall I review it a little? Any opinions?

"Yeah, put the structural material in here and add more compartments. This divider also helps to increase strength…"

And I also recall another magician named Reinhardt (Magicraftsman) saying that the ship should be finely divided.

"Right, I'll take care of it."

Thus, as a result of the review of the design, the appearance remained intact, but the expected weight increased slightly, from the initial 240 to 300 tons.

"Hmm, it's going to be a little heavy"

But you can't change it safely.

"That's right..."

"Can you manage that with propulsion? What kind of things do you plan to use?

"Yeah, we'll use wind and magic together."

This is the way my predecessor, the magician (Magicraftsman), came up with it, but with a premise, Ekalt began to explain it to the two of them.

"Right! I had no idea!

Jen was the one who said phrases like I heard somewhere.

In fact, Altaf and Jenner were the fifth row (Quinta) sent in by Jen.

Altaf has Leggles 50, and Jenner has Deneb 30. The golem they carry is naturally one of the artisan (Smith) golems, the artisan (Smith) 40

He decided to destroy the ship that Ekalt was building with his heart and soul, even though he had no choice but to support it secretly, thinking about what he liked about his character and what was to come.

Aside from that, Jen was impressed with the transformation of ideas or the novelty of the method of propulsion.

"Wind magic has no recoil. That means if you spray it on a stretched sail, you move on..."

As Jen once verified, normal magic comes with the effect of counteracting recoil.

In plain analogy, sailing on a sailed ship and fanning the sail with a group fan does not advance the ship.

This is because the recoil when the wind strikes with the dough fan and the power to push the sail strikes off.

However, depending on what Jen had verified, wind magic, water magic, etc. were accompanied by a knockout effect so as not to inflict recoil on the operator.

It was the Magic Spray Propulsion Engine (Magijet Engine) that was able to delete only that part.

However, such things cannot be done in general. Paradoxically, we have no choice but to do something with normal magic that eliminates recoil.

The engineer who designed the ship took it backwards and tried to propel the ship by spraying it on the sail.

"What a shame, I can't believe I gave you a wrongful hand with all those arms and heads"

Jen and Reinhardt couldn't even think of a way, the two of them guessed, for example, to attach a fish-tailed propulsion engine to the stepped part of the stern.

"My Lord, I still have some advice on how to navigate, prevent leukemia on long voyages, and spare propulsion devices."

"Right. Let's just suggest a little bit."

"Okay."

It was not until four months after that that that Ekalt completed the ship with the support of Shady Jen.
