The Cave King will live a Paradise Life -Becoming the strongest with the mining skill?-

I temporarily suspended my mining and decided to head to Camus' waiting landfill before lunch.

You left the shipbuilding to Camus...

When it comes to shipbuilding, they don't make it from scratch, they dismantle the ship that Ashton and Kobolt have been on, and combine other waste materials to build it.

I was almost ignorant about the structure of the ship, so there was little curtain for me to come out.

When I saw it from afar this morning, it was already shaped like a fine ship, maybe it was finished.

To back it up, a fine sailboat was seen from the entrance of the cave and the crowd surrounding it.

Two layers of deck on three columns… had been renovated into something much more splendid than the ship the Ashtons had come on.

That's the Camus we've spent decades at sea.

As for ships, they are more knowledgeable than anyone else in this cheol...... no, even on the continent as many sailors as Camus would count with their fingers.

Anyway, this will also allow you to get things that you can't get on this island.

Everyone will be happy...... I thought so but as I approach I notice that all the orcs around Camus look dark.

"... yeah? Guys, what's going on?

When I speak, everyone turns around.

This is what Camus answered me when he put his arms around me like that and gave me a difficult face.

"... Ah, my dear heels! You're here."

"Ah, oh. You called me because the ship's finished, didn't you?

"Yeah, yeah, how much... before that. You guys, this is for the heels too, so you can't be selfish, can you?

Camus told the orcs, as he would tell them.

The orcs nod reluctantly at Camus's voice.

Apparently, the Orcs complained about something and Camus said to put up with it.

As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to ask you something if the orcs are bothered.

Of course, because it's such a small island, there may be things we can't solve...

"Wait, Camus. Is there a problem? Don't hesitate, talk to me."

"Dear Heels... Sometimes these kids say they don't want to go out to sea."

"That means... you're scared of the ocean?

When I told the orcs to ask, they all snorted.

"... that's right"

By the legendary creature Leviathan, all those large convoys fell into a state of devastation in an instant...

The more I think about that day, the more I know how everyone feels.

Because many (and again) of my countrymen have just been killed or made undead.

Camus seems to feel the same way...

"We've all managed to accept the death of our people... and I don't hate moving ships. It's fun to move a fishing boat."

Camus stared at the horizon and went on like this.

"But when the islands... land (or so) gets far, they all tremble halfway... and Leviathan attacks them."

"I see..."

Thinking about it, I'm kind of scared of the ocean, too.

I can't believe there was such a giant creature in the ocean...

"But Leviathan is dead. So I'm telling you it's okay..."

When Camus said that, the whole orc thing told me to represent everyone.

"But your head... As I said earlier, there is no such thing as a creature that doesn't come into being because it's your turn!

"So you're telling me that's not a normal creature, right?!

Like Camus said, that certainly wouldn't be the creature that's right there.

But what Orc is saying is right.

There is no guarantee that Leviathan will be the only one in the world.

"Okay...... let's not trade. Currently, there is plenty of water and food. You won't have to let the ship out."

"So, but..."

"I'm sure it's dangerous, and I don't want everyone to do anything nasty. This boat is a fishing boat, but we can use it."

"Dear Heels..."

Camus and the orcs gave me a happy, regrettable look at my words.

On the other hand, you might feel sorry for me.

"Sure, it's a fine ship."

"Well... if a ship doesn't sink no matter what, we can all safely get the ship out..."

"I'm scared of Leviathan because he's going to do this too... well, this is also made of wood"

I'll tap the hull to see how strong the ship is.

I feel solid, but in front of Leviathan it would be easily broken...... yeah, wood?

I, uh, come up with this.

"... Hmm. So why don't you put an iron plate on this ship?

Yes, I am! You don't have to make a ship out of wood!

I said it myself, and I thought it was a good idea.

But Camus and the orcs get a subtle look.

"Huh? Did I say something funny?

Camus snorts.

"I wonder if the most powerful ship I've ever thought of... is typical of what a man who doesn't know a ship would say."

"Well... no, you're right"

Sure, if you think about why the ship is made of wood, you'll see for yourself.

As soon as the iron plates are stretched together from the top, the ship becomes heavier.

I guess that's not all that makes the ship slow.

There is also a limit to the amount of food that can be put on a ship.

Just because you get sturdy, you get to your destination late, and food doesn't make sense to follow the bottom.

I wish it could be made of iron from scratch, but it seems quite difficult to build an iron plate with no joints.

"Hmm. Then how about a plate of misrils? That would be light, and tougher than iron."

"Maybe, but could it be that easy? Besides, you're gonna need half the amount of misrills."

"I feel like Mappa could do it... and have you been here"

You walked near me, Mappa.

Apparently I haven't been after you, I'm here to tell you something.

With my thumbs up, I invite you to come over.

"... Anyway, let's get the ship out of here when everyone's ready. We don't need to rush anywhere."

That's what I left behind and followed the mappa.
