Sweet Reincarnation

Episode 288 Boat Trip

A clear blue sky and breeze.

There is no weather so wonderful for the port town.

The waves are mild and a great time to earn for sailors.

Isaac stood in a hurried and noisy dock with a large luggage. As a handsome wizard, he can move anywhere quickly, but he can't run on the sea.

Isaac's magic is often compared to the Morteln family's [instantaneous movement], but I think instantaneous movement is more convenient at these times.

Of course, Isal's magic is not backwards compatible with [instantaneous movement]. There are many good things about being able to go to places you've never been before, being easy to change direction along the way, and being able to enter a room where magic measures have been taken with light gold.

Nevertheless, Isaac was troubled when it took a while to cross the sea.

Isaac-sama, is this okay?

A man comes out of a giant sailboat and talks to Isaac.

Captain of an official vessel of the Holy Nation, a man of reputation for his skill in navigation. He also holds a high position in the Holy Nation, but in a country where the power of magic is maintained, a better wizard holds a higher position.

When asked to confirm, Isaac performs the final check of the loading.

The Captain will explain what this is and what it is.

As soon as I heard, Isaac nodded that there was no problem.

"Oh, that's good. I hurried you, but you did well. And keep plenty of water."

"Yes"

The captain is unaware of Isaac's mission. Not informed.

However, it is said that it is necessary to return to and from the kingdom of God so as to have some leeway on it.

I should have loaded a lot of water, but I was told to check it again.

"And then... this?"

And Isaac checks the most important loads in a sense.

If we opened the box, which was tightly fixed so as not to move, there was another tightly packed object inside.

The knowledgeable captain asks Isaac a simple question.

"What are you going to do with so many eggs?

Yes, eggs.

It is not uncommon to prepare loads to suit your selfishness when carrying you on an ordinary round-trip voyage.

The “adjustment“ of hands, such as people who are strictly ordered to never cut off wine, or people who bring large quantities of potatoes because they like it, is a part of the work that can be separated as a captain.

Even when I was given eggs for this shipment, I thought it was clear that passengers would like to eat, but there were strange instructions for that.

The loaded eggs must never break, even in a storm.

Unusual instructions, to say the least.

If it is a dedicated ship carrying arts and crafts, it is only natural to take these loads into consideration, but this time the loads are just eggs. That's the fresh groceries you get when you go to the market.

Of course, eggs are a luxury ingredient, and they are not forced to lay when suddenly trying to get them.

In that sense, I don't know how to pack it strictly, but it doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Isaac answered the captain's questions with a bitter smile.

"Well, it's insurance. If you hide a tree, it's in the woods, right?

"You think it makes sense to collect so many eggs?

Not one type of egg this time.

Normally, eggs are chicken eggs. Popular is the most popular thing. Of course, there are also different types of chicken eggs, and there are differences in size and color.

But this time, I was ordered to collect various other eggs, including geese, ducks, quails, and rarely seabird eggs. Snake eggs are also loaded, which is clearly an abnormal load.

"It stands out if there are geese eggs where there are only chicken eggs. You don't know what an egg is, even if it's somewhat unusual where every egg is, do you?

Ha.

The captain leans his neck.

It's not because I didn't understand what I was saying. I know what it means, but I didn't know what it meant.

If you do place geese eggs, it is less obvious where there are various kinds of eggs than where there are only chicken eggs. That's true. So what is it?

The captain did not know the deep part, but it seems that some intentions were hidden.

"You don't have to worry about it. Insurance only. It might be useful."

Ha.

"You just have to be careful not to break it. Prepare to sail."

The captain and crew will begin preparations to launch the ship.

After checking and securing the load, the mooring rope is removed and the scaffold is cleared.

"Lower your sails!!

At the command of the captain, hoist the sails used in the port.

Suddenly pulling all the sails is like suddenly stepping on an accelerator in a car, so it's not normal.

The first thing you need to do is pull the easiest sail down and spread the sail out of the harbor.

"Anchor up, let's go!!

The ship hoisted its anchor in the harbor, and a large sailboat started to move. Push the shoreline with a long stick, and when you're away, all you have to do is ride the wind.

If you leave the harbor at a slow speed, it is a battlefield from which sailors can play an active role.

After a wind filled with sails stretched out, the ship rinsed and boarded the waves.

"It feels so good."

Isaac whispered on the deck.

It's the deck of a speeding ship. A fairly strong wind blows. When it comes to clear weather and the pleasure of the flowing wind, it feels like you've become a bird.

Sometimes it's his magic, and it's not uncommon for a man to hit a strong wind. I know a little about the wind.

While feeling the difference from the land wind you always feel, Isaac floats at the pleasure.

"That's right. There's a good wind going this season."

The deck chief hammers the great man who seems to sing even a nose song.

I put together the ropes on the deck and agreed that it was a good wind today.

I don't think there will be any problems with going there.

"Where are you going?

"Please don't expect much. The good wind for going is the headwind for going home."

In the case of a ship, the speed is faster if there is a following wind or a crosswind. Conversely, if there is a headwind, the ship will proceed with zigzag, and speed will not rise.

The direction of the wind is determined by the arrangement of the atmospheric pressure. The wind blows from high to low pressure. Of course, it is not stationary in one place because of the air density. It moves at low and high pressure.

However, even if it moves, the movement takes some time. It is not said that the product that was low pressure just now will become high pressure after an hour. Not to mention the seasonal atmospheric pressure arrangement, which is often similar for several days.

In other words, the seasonal south wind will blow in the same direction for a while.

If the wind follows you, the wind leads you home. Again, this is natural.

If the journey goes too smoothly, on the contrary, the return may take some time to wait for the wind, and the deck length is Voyak.

I see. That could be a bit of a hassle. Is there any way you won't be disturbed by the wind on your way home?

Isaac has a secret mission. If you stay in an enemy area for a long time, it will be harmless and unprofitable just because the risk is high.

I'm glad the voyage went smoothly, but I can't say I'm worried about returning.

Is there a good way to go home unaffected by the wind?

The asked deck leader thinks for a while and gives an answer.

It's called triangulation.

"Triangulation?

Isaac the Wizard replies unexpectedly to words he can't hear.

"If you go back and forth, the terms are the opposite of going back and forth."

Ah.

"I'm going to go around three places. The wind from the diagonal back and the wind from the horizontal wind can do it."

Well, I see.

The sailor of the Holy Nation becomes the sailor of the Holy Nation, and he has ingenuity and inherited wisdom.

The sea was separated between the Holy Nation and the Kingdom of God, but the seasonal winds were somewhat oriented to blow each year. A sailor who reads the wind is unlikely to use this wind, but there are many ways to use it.

Of course, driving the wind behind your back is one way to use it.

Another means of use is to use it as a lateral wind.

In the case of a chase wind, the effect of the chase wind is also relatively weak if the speed is on, but the lateral wind can be received even if the speed is on. It is said that if you become a skilled sailor, you may be able to outpace the following wind in the horizontal wind.

For that reason, instead of going back and forth between two points, we invented a voyage that revolved around three points.

"The advantage is that there are fewer misses, but there was also the disadvantage of making less money even if the misses were made."

A two-point deal that can earn speed like an idiot if a big win comes in the wind, and a three-point deal that is stable but knows how fast you can earn even if a big win comes in. Both are short and long, so neither is superior.

It must be a whimsical beating, so there's a difference between aiming at Dokan with a single bet or playing hard with a decentralized bet.

Well, there's no story that everything's going to work out.

"Yeah."

There is no such thing as a delicious story in the world.

But when I thought about my assignment, it seemed important for Isaac to think about going home.

"Where would Beauhan and Rateshbal be if we put another place?

Well, I guess it's around Grimoworth. Even in the Holy Nation, it is the finest port town, and if you think of the wind, it is a choice. "

The port where the ship sailed was Beauhan. And Rateshbal, the gateway to the kingdom of God, for now. There's another place besides here. Thinking about the base of the triangular voyage ahead, what would be better?

Isaac is an amateur when it comes to sailing. I can think of a lot of good places, but I want to make sure the answer is correct, so I ask the deck head.

The deck master answered the question immediately. There aren't many ports where large ships can come as-is. In the Holy Nation, there are two or three choices. Thinking about the wind and excluding Beauhan is a real choice.

"What about the heathens?

The answer, Grimoirth, came from Isaac himself. Because it is a port town in the Holy Nation, and I am familiar with it.

However, in this mission, I would like to hear about the good harbor on the side of the Divine Kingdom.

"Yes, it would be nice to have a neighborhood in the vicinity of Nyerere Bombino."

The deck leader thought a little about it this time.

When I think of a few port towns, I say Nyerere. Given all the conditions, it is still a good decision.

Still? Don't come out in the harbor. "

"The shape of the ocean has not changed, so the good port of the past is still a good port."

Hmm, does it make sense for a good port to flourish again?

"Yes, when it comes to ports where large ships with long legs stop, you can still see the Southern Continent with your hands folded and your fingers left behind. Because there are so many people in such places, it becomes more convenient, and the famous place has been famous for a long time."

There are also various conditions for the good and bad of the port.

Surrounded by three sides or shaped as natural topography, the direction of wind blowing shall be limited. The depth of the sea floor should be deep enough to be near the port, and there should be no worry of rubbing the bottom of the ship even if the ship is deep-drawn. The seabed shall be suitable for anchoring in sand and debris. The sea monster has not arrived. The terrain is such that the height of the waves is not too high. and so on.

In addition to these general conditions of good ports, the distance to major consumer destinations is moderate in the case of economic ports and trading ports, and the convenience of transportation by river and street is an additional condition.

Of course, there is no perfect place for everything, so there are limits to some conditions, such as meditating your eyes and artificially adding your hands.

The fact that a good port can be built is, after all, the same as before.

"Does a good harbor gather people and money?"

"Yeah."

It's an enviable story. Isaac murmured.

I am not a person who draws money, but I still understand the importance of money, and if there is one, it is money that is useful.

The original natural terrain is good for making money. I feel jealous.

However, I should have listened to the opinion of the deck master.

"When you get to your destination, tell the Niliers to turn the boat around."

I'll tell the captain.

"Oh, please. Well, how long till we get there?

A man who gives instructions and cares about the future.

"I'm going to stop by the wind, but if it stays like this, it'll be about the morning of the 20th."

"Okay."

Take a nap or return to your room, Isaac.

The little time left was a strange exaltation.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

It's like flying on the sea.

With the exceptional blessings of good weather and wind, Lateshbal was approaching.

"Hostile land from here. Make yourself comfortable."

Isaac entertains some of the men he brought in this time.

Secret activities in enemy and target countries. Moreover, the contents will probably be misleading about robbery.

Assuming the worst, it could be that everyone gets caught and dies after torture. Unconscious manners extend to the top of the ship.

Rateshbal. Looks like the economy is good. "

"By envy."

Looking from the top of the ship, we can see many ships in the port of Rateshbal.

Is it the atmosphere or the air? The vibrancy and enthusiasm you feel with your skin feel is like the good economy of the port town itself.

Well, that's fine. First of all, I asked him how he was doing for about three days. I'll look into Morteln again. "

The enemy infiltration mission has begun.

Isaac hit her cheeks with bread.

"All right, let's go."

As he snuck off the ship, Isaac and the others got lost in the crowd.
