　The city of the magic train is being built at a rapid pace on the land of the old Vulcania.

　Since it is a new town different from Vulcania that has floated in the sky, it was decided to change the name of the town as well.

　After some deliberation, we decided on the name Balkaline.

　Barca Line is the terminus of the railroad line to the south to the town of Fontana, the line to the east to the foot of the Daisetsuzan Mountains, and the line to the west to the Nelson Marshes.

　It is a central station where the magic train, which is loaded with fuel called magic stone and can run day and night, arrives, and there are many warehouses near the station where various kinds of cargo can be stored.

　However, it is not yet complete, as we have just started to lay new tracks.

　The idea was to create at least the framework of a city.

　Incidentally, this redevelopment is positioned as a public project that also means job creation.

　The Kingdom of Fontana has just finished building a new castle in the city of Fontana, and the people who were working on the castle have become a bit bored.

　The aim was to take advantage of this.

"But while this magic train is useful, wouldn't it be better to use the transporter magic circle, boy?　I heard that. I heard that you and the Eastern variant connected the magical transfer magic circle to move the magic airship."

It's not so much a variant as a floating variant castle in the sky. It's true that it would be more convenient to use the transporter magic circle. But it's not very safe from a defense point of view. Unlike the transfer stone, it's an easy mechanism to abuse."

"That's right. If it weren't for that, it would be much easier to transport goods over long distances."

　The new town to be built in old Vulcania will be greatly changed by the magic train, a vehicle that can carry a larger volume of goods than ever before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The old man had a valid point.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Considering the transportation capacity and the time it would take to move, it would be much faster to use the transfer magic circle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magic circle that requires a large transfer stone, which is normally hard to obtain, requires almost no magic power to move once it is set up.

　And yet, not only people, but even magic airships can be transferred in an instant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can assure you that this is the best cost performance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it is also a matter of concern that we should not install it too many times.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It will lead to a defense problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you use a transfer stone, you need to have the magical power of the master to use it, and only one person can use it, and it has to be a transfer stone that has been touched by the master.

　It is still dangerous enough, but not as dangerous as the transfer magic circle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the case of the transfer magic circle, a large number of people and things can be moved at once.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then again, it would be useless to make it like a variant castle built as a castle in the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To prevent people from entering the castle, we set up a transfer magic circle in a place in the sky and even put a lock on the magic circle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We do not regard it as an easy-to-use means of transportation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is too inefficient, since they used to use a magic airship to get down from the sky to the ground.

What a waste! The monk is right, if we consider the safety of our territory, but we have such a convenient means of transportation. But we have such a convenient means of transportation. No matter how little value they have there. At the very least, it would be nice if a transfer magic circle could be connected to some distant place just to stock up on goods."

"...... Well, it's not nothing, is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, you have someplace in mind, boy?　Perhaps you've decided to set up a transference magic circle somewhere in the East and go into business?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, no. No, it's just an idea. I don't know if it'll work or not, so forget it, old man."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, hey, what's that? If you're going to go that far, you're going to have to tell me. What's on your mind, kid?"

"It was an idea, really. I just thought that if I could get something from the sea, I could sell it for a lot of money. The Kingdom of Fontana does not border the sea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The ocean?　What's the ocean?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's like a big puddle. It's a place that's bigger than the Kingdom of Fontana and all the other noble territories put together, but it's only water. Not just water, but salt water."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Is it really there?　Such a huge pool of water?　I think you're looking at a pond or a lake wrong."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, oceans do exist. That much is certain from the information we have obtained from Gran and the East. However, it seems that neither Gran's birthplace nor the Bryllian Kingdom borders the sea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wow. I didn't know there was such a thing. Then what is it?　Are we still going to go to the place in the East where that ocean is and set up a transporter magic circle?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That might not be a good idea. I heard that the Empire, which is said to be more powerful than the Brillia Mage Nation, is holding the sea port. We don't have any contacts with the empire at the moment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then why don't we look elsewhere?　Wouldn't it be nice if there was someplace where the land is not controlled by the empire or something, and where the sea is nearby?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, that's right. That's exactly what I had in mind. But we're not looking in the East.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Not east?　But the sea is in the east beyond the Daisetsuzan Mountains, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Not necessarily. Land is always limited. And if you are looking for the sea, it is where the river water flows. That is, the Nelson Marshes where the river flows from the Kingdom of Fontana. There is a possibility that there is an ocean beyond that unexplored land where many demons live. No one has been able to confirm this, though."

　Transmitting magic circle is used to bring in goods from faraway places.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have not failed to think of that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I had no intention of doing that to the East.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had to avoid people coming from the other side by mistake, since I had just used the [naming] magic there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, where should we look for the sea?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had set my sights not on the east but on the west.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There have been those who have tried to look beyond the Nelson swamps at the far end of the Arbalest lands since the Dorians ruled over the whole land.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But they failed and finally did not succeed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Nelson Marshes were not easy to navigate, and were infested with powerful monsters.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I got the Arbalest area as my territory, I also checked out the Nelson swamps.

　However, there was a high risk that even a group of people like the army would be wiped out against the mud dolls and aquatic monsters that were hard to defeat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, they did not make a reckless plan to cross the Nelson Marshes, but instead used ice-flame swords to defeat mud dolls in winter to obtain magical steel, and began to cultivate paddy fields by taking advantage of the abundance of water.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, this situation has changed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The creation of the magic airship was a big factor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a flying vehicle that travels far above the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They can travel without regard to the presence of monsters and marshy terrain that is difficult to navigate.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, we may be able to see beyond the Nelson swamps, which are said to be unexplored by mankind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If there is an ocean, we may be able to set up a magic circle there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At first, it was just an idea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it is worth a try.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The conversation with the old man made me curious myself, so I decided to move once in the sky and head west.
