After the evolutionary rush was over, I headed over to Noah's place.

'Noah, are you there?　I've got what you asked for, and I've done it.

'There they are!　Don't hesitate to come in!

When I enter the house, I bring out the requested ether crystals.

'Wow... these are the ether crystals... they're real~... awesome!　It's great!　Takt!

Hi. Thanks. So how many you got?

Uh, is that... everything you have?

You just want it... then we have an idea.

Then that's it.

What?　Absolutely false!

Because you're being selfish.

Ugh... all right. Then...60!

You fail to answer immediately, you lose points.

Okay, let's say 20.

'Wow!　Wait, wait, wait, wait!　They need 60 properly!

It must be true... then Noah explained why.

'All I need for a magic engine is 20. But if you use it for armament as well, you need 40.

What kind of armament is that, anyway?

'It's a magic cannon and magic shield. It's standard equipment on a mage ship, but if we can use etheric crystals, we can make armaments far superior to the conventional ones. I've already made the blueprints for that.

You should've said so in the first place.

You'll help me build my ship, won't you?

You certainly promised me that. When I easily produced the large crystal of ether, Noah's demands increased again, and he apologized honestly when I threatened to hang him with a fishing pole in the hole where the ether beast is.

I'm going to get to work on the magic engine and armament as soon as possible. I'm going to start building my magic engine and armament as soon as possible.　I think you guys might have an easy time beating the Aetherbeast, though!

I'm sure they'll have something to fight with. An info comes.

'A request quest 'Dragonwood Gathering' has been triggered.

Requested Quest "Gathering Dragonwood" Difficulty: A-
Defeat the Wood Dragon and collect 4 pieces of dragonwood.

You're right, the difficulty has dropped... even though you're dealing with a dragon!

"...Noah?

It's an important piece of wood that will be used to make the magic ship, so I want you to get it for me. Ahhhh, I'm busy, I'm busy.

This guy.... one day he'll hang. I seriously thought so.

After that, I gathered information on Wooddragon, but all I learned was where he was. I even looked into it in Freetia, hoping for a little more information, but it was off.

I went to Freetia's library, so I looked up information on monsters in the field.

Lagoon Sea: squids, octopuses, sharks, and dolphins

Lagoon Sea Distant Seas: tiger sharks, hammerhead sharks, sturgeon, bonefish, shark mimic, gunfish, sea serpent, starfish, jumbo moray eels, flying fish, skeleton explorer captain, skeleton explorer, ship ghosts, ship ghosts

Narwhal Wetlands: Lizardman, Anaconda, and

Mangrove Forest: desnia, desnia cutter, denki eel, pialk, jaguar, bloody lamprey, paku, giant anaconda, howler monkey, uakari, gandil, tyrant typan

There was no Sandwall Desert. Maybe it's because it's not part of this country's territory. If I get a chance, I'll gather information on the Sandwall Desert.

Well, I didn't have any detailed information on Wooddragon after all, but in this situation, I'll ask my family members for help. I'll ask Aeon for more information.

'Is the next opponent a Wood Dragon...'

'Yes. Do you have any information?

'I don't know much about them, but wooden dragons like wood dragons are said to be the strongest dragons in terms of life force and recovery ability. Also, they seem to be good at endurance warfare with their poison and disease bracelets.

Thanks for the information on Aeon. I mean, if you set up an endurance battle, it's a bad idea. Furthermore, Setia spoke up.

''Wood dragons are wood dragons, so I think they will use some kind of herbaceous attack.

That would be true. Then Farida makes a suggestion.

"If the story is true, you'd fit right in with me. You didn't do too well at the Aetherbeast, could you take me with you?

'I don't mind, but are they really that compatible?'

Yes. I have the ability to release magic elements. It's a great match for monsters that can heal. You're well aware of the fear of elemental magic, right?

Yeah... after all, it's the one that's tormenting Princess Gylfi.

I saw a glimmer of victory, but they're all torn up from fighting the Aether Beast, so that's it for today.

We all ate our feast and fainted at the end when I showed Hephaistos the ether crystal. Well, it's a material that can't be helped if that happens, right?
