Approximately three hours from the start of the flight.

The flying carriage, the Sky Turtle, had reached the southern airspace of Hikarika Mina.

Far beyond the blue sky, where the cotton clouds floated, the beauty of a giant 'world tree' was entering my sight all the way to heaven.

"I see it......!

Everyone in the audience also cheers like "Oh" and "Got it".

The "World Tree" can also see its immensity from this distance, ten kilomertes away.

After leaving the Wang capital Metanostadt in the early morning, it's almost noon if you notice. He would have flown roughly 190 kilomertes while resting on the way.

The altitude is about fifteen Merte low altitude flights, but the maximum speed is seventy kilometres Merte. Arrival in a short time with wind effects but not comparable to a carriage travelling above ground.

"You finally see, the world tree"

"It's still so big to see it from this distance."

"Oh, the tree height is 600. Merte is not Dade."

Even the fairy Metius, who should have seen it many times, admires it. The immensity can be seen from afar, but its tree shape is very similar and adorable to the upscale vegetable "broccoli" grown on the aristocratic's own farm.

Below you can see the streets that run vertically and horizontally through the Hikarika Mina meadows. Eventually the path leads to the pioneering village of the world tree - Yolabertige.

There are also more carriages coming and going than before.

Heading north to the King's Capital of Metanostadt and the surrounding villages, and going south, the "South Street", which also leads to Marinoserese in the South, now seems to be becoming a trading route.

Some of you are looking up at the flying carriage and waving.

Eventually there will be new transportation here, magical vehicles moving at high speeds coming and going.

And I realized there was a fairy Metius.

"Sage Grecas, there is a slight warning on the tactical information display (tactics). Inconsistencies in terrain matching by the Enemy Boundary (Circle)."

"Inconsistent? I wonder what. Which..."

A yellow warning sign appeared on the Tactical Information Display (TACTICS) floating in front of me.

That meant that the geomorphological information previously searched and recorded in the search magic map search (Ggol Mappa) and the current topography were matched with different topography….

When you look at it, the world tree is the center, and a huge pond-like terrain is born.

"There is a huge pond (...) around the world tree!? It wasn't supposed to be before, but this... looks like a natural terrain."

"Well! There's a pond around the world tree?

"It looks like a donut-shaped pond is ready to surround the world tree."

The boundaries between meadows and ponds are unclear, and it was inferred that they were not artifacts like moats, but ponds made of natural accumulation.

On the trees of the world tree you can see from here are clouds like white moya. The air currents that are flowing in the wind are hitting, and they are producing clouds.

If the rain that falls from it passes through the leaves and trunks and flows down to the ground, it is not surprising that ponds can be formed in this area, which was a poorly drained wetland.

In fact, the interior of the trunk of the world tree was hollow, because rainwater was pouring down like a waterfall from above.

"But the village we're going to now was close to the world tree, wasn't it? And the garrison."

Lentomia puts her arms on my shoulders, rides herself out and looks forward.

"Ah......! With that said... you'd be submerged"

"Ma'am."

Before such a dumb thing happens, I would be moving...

Explore information with search magic (google). Then the records and reports of Sir Rembrandt, the Knight Captain stationed in the World Tree, were immediately found.

- Over the past week, with the rainy season, the water levels in the surrounding wetlands have risen.

- It is a pond about 1 merte deep and gradually expands its range.

- Topographically Hikarika Mina was originally poorly drained. Since there are no rivers flowing out, it will be a pond about 1 merte deep, and the water level is not expected to drop in the future. Judgment of the expert and instructions of the home country.

- We had a rainy season, about two weeks. Water approached the village. Hold an emergency response meeting and notify your home country.

- Transfers are allowed and the development of candidate sites is hastened rapidly.

Looks like it mattered.

In fact, the village of Yolabertaij, which I could see, had moved quite a bit forward. About a kilometre from the world tree, new houses were seen in a hilly place, on a slightly elevated terrain, in the south.

"Looks like you moved in, boulder."

"The houses had a lot of simple construction combining trees, but it would have been tough to move"

"That's right."

Probably never thought this would happen when the rainy season came.

Swirling over the new village, I could see him moving in a hurry. There are many people in tents and temporary dwellings.

But fortunately, they could afford to bring out materials, supplies, lumber and household property tools to rebuild the village.

A garrison surrounded by wooden fences is also already built nearby, and tented barracks can be seen. Horses are eating grass, and Metanostadt's big flag is flying.

"And... that one"

- Waterways!

A simple waterway was dug between the garrison and the village. Muddy water accumulates in the waterway, but its termination extends to near the World Tree Pond.

It would be a consideration not to contaminate the sacred (...) world tree pond with dirty water from artificial waterways.

A simple wooden landing strip has been set up, from which the road leads to the site of the previous village of Yorabartage.

Approximately 800 Merte waterways at a distance, but one old-fashioned golem stands beside it, full of mud. Probably converted for civil engineering.

The waterway is about two mertes wide, up to the "World Tree Pond" stretched around the world tree, but it seems to be used at the end of the road. Ships like squid made of lumber are also floating in the evidence.

"Damn, it's more efficient to travel by boat than to walk or carriage around a muddy (wet) place!

Lentomia is convinced.

"Digging the waterways and replacing the roads..."

I think I see the direction of the new transport.

It would be difficult to lay rails on this land, or to pave and run a vehicle that moves with magic. At least half the itinerary leading up to Hikarika Mina is good by land.

But from there on ahead - isn't it efficient to combine waterways (...) with ships (...) for the new transport that leads to Hikarika Mina?
