"Wait a minute, Mister Alphonse. Where are you going?

"We'll leave the lumberyard and land in the middle of the river."

"But our target is the lumberyard in Grougaria. We cannot allow the entire route to be changed at the sole discretion of the Barka mercenaries!

"Really?　Then I'll change the destination only for the ship with Barka mercenaries on board. Then, you won't have any complaints, will you?"

"Of course there is. This operation depends on Ian the Warrior of Atmos. If he doesn't go to the lumberyard, it's not worth talking about.

　I argue with Oliva on the boat.

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

　Apparently he wants to complain about me changing course.

　Well, I guess that's why Oliva is with us, to exchange these kind of things, even though she said she was just showing us the way.

　The mercenaries we've hired must be ordered to do their job properly on the battlefield.

"You can't take the lumberyard. No matter how you look at it, we don't have enough men to attack that walled stronghold."

"But we came here with an agreement that includes that. The Valka Mercenaries are officially employed by the Orient. We need them to work according to the plan.

"That's not true, Oliva. That's not true, Oliva. When I was hired by Lord Banagher, he told me this. When I was hired by Banagher, he told me that the purpose of this mission was to secure the soft magic tree. Capturing the lumberyard is a means to that end, not an end."

"But that's just a theory, isn't it? In order to secure the soft magic tree, you need to go to the lumberyard. To take a course away from there would be a violation of your employer's order.

"No problem. Because there are plenty of softwoods even if you don't go to the lumberyard. In that bar..."

　That's right.

　Oliva may have been ordered to move mercenaries according to a prearranged plan, but we were not.

　If the goal of the mission is to secure the soft magic tree, it shouldn't matter where they go as long as they can do that.

　The lumberyard must surely have a lot of softwoods that have already been cut down.

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

　But they are well protected and not easy to get.

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

　Then there is no need to be concerned about it.

　My idea was to grab whatever was growing around here, even if it wasn't a soft magic tree that had been cut down.

"That's impossible, Master Alphonse. That tree is very hard! It takes a lot of time and effort to cut it down. It would take several lumberjacks in shifts to cut it down over several days or even longer, so you would not be able to get it even if you went to the soft evil tree that grows in the middle of the island.

"The tree is not hard. If you pour magic power into it, it will soften. I think you can cut it down in that state in less time. Isn't that what the people in Grougalia are doing?

"...... What?　No, but it is not an easy task to pour magic power into a soft magic tree. Perhaps Mister Alphonse can channel the magic power, but don't tell me that Mister Alphonse is going around cutting the soft magic tree one by one?"

"Oliva was a pretty hard-headed person. It's not a soft magic tree, but why don't you think softer and simpler? I don't need to pour my magic power into it. If all 2,000 of us here cut down the trees at once, we could cut down a lot of trees in no time at all.

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

"But, sir, no one other than Mister Alphonse is able to channel magic power into the soft magic tree."

"What are you talking about securing soft magic wood for? To make a magic bow, right?　And the magic bow is made to soften the soft wood by drawing a magic circle on the magic stone so that anyone can easily manipulate it. In other words, with that magic stone and magic circle, anyone should be able to easily cut the soft magic wood."

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

"...... magic stone?　Magic circle?　You may be right, but that bow Orient was prototyped by Senator Banagher and others, and it is not here. Since we don't have it at hand, isn't it impossible to cut it down with a magic stone with a magic circle painted on it?"

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

"It's okay. Ai, can you make that magic stone?"

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

No problem. We have confirmed the structure of the magic bow Orient and the magic circle. It is possible to process the magic stone.

　Jujumaki is a very hard wood.

　It is said that it takes a long time to cut down a single tree.

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

　It takes days or months to cut down a single tree.

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

　The reason why the soft demon trees that grow only in a very specific place in the middle of the Gulu River have not been cut down until now is because they are too hard and it takes a long time to cut them down.

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

　Knowing this from the past, the people of the Orient decided to go to the lumberyards where the trees had already been cut down and stored.

　If they went to the actual site where the trees were growing, they would be attacked by the archers of the Gulagarians while they were cutting the trees.

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

　But that is also the case when the trees are cut down by non-Gruglian people.

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

　The people of Gulugaria train from an early age with bows made of soft magic wood, and are in contact with soft magic wood that is difficult to channel magic power into.

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

　And so it is said that those who are accustomed to such soft magic wood are able to cut it down in a softened state while pouring magic power into it.

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

　By doing so, they can speed up the time-consuming work of felling the trees.

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

　If that is the case, we should do the same.

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

　We do not have to go to the well-protected lumberyards to get the softwoods directly.

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

　And we already have a way to do that.

　It is the magic bow created by Banagher and his men, and the magic stone attached to that bow.

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

　That magic stone has a magic circle engraved on it that softens the soft magic tree.

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

　Of course, it is encrypted with another magic circle to prevent the magic circle technology from being leaked to others.

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

　But Ai can decipher it.

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

　Ai, with his brother Kyle's knowledge, is able to accurately decipher the encrypted magic circle just by looking at it.

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

　And Ai is also familiar with the work of engraving magic circle on the magic stone.

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

　At any rate, Ai has been working to create a new nucleus of Ai in Vulcania by drawing magic circles on the spirit stones created by Brother Ars.

　Even on a rocking ship, Ai's work was perfect.

　Elvis chanted "Create Magic Stone" to create a magic stone, and then he engraved a magic circle on it.

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

　In no time at all, a magic stone with a magic circle that can soften hard soft magic wood was prepared.
