After the audience with King Blitzen Skala Elias XII of the Kingdom of Elias, Jin and his friends were holding a small, intimate celebration in the guest room of the royal castle.
It was, as they say, a celebration for the inauguration of the Korun.
"Thanks to Reinhardt. Without Reinhardt's advice, we wouldn't have been able to bring the project to this point.

Haha, I'm glad to hear you say so, but even without my advice, Jin would have been accepted sooner or later. It's just a matter of whether it was early or late."
"No, I think it's the speed that's the problem. Now it's easier to make a plan for the future.
One of the special wines of the Kingdom of Elias, <

Since the wine cost is paid for by the Kingdom of Elias, the treasurer will probably scowl the next morning when he sees the eight empty bottles lined up in front of him.
The next day, on the 8th, Jin and the others went to the hotel to get a bottle of wine.

On the following day, the 8th, Jin and his friends left the Kingdom of Elias by airship after greeting the Prime Minister and the Marquis of Florenziano.
The purpose was to visit the kingdoms of Egelea and Klein and to hand over the map. This has been approved by the Shoro Kingdom through regular morning communications.
The Prime Minister has also given his word to cooperate with <<<< Sir Jin Nido, the Kunlun Prince, and Reinhardt and Erza have been able to accompany Jin without hesitation.

The distance from Borgia, the capital of the Kingdom of Elias, to Asunto, the capital of the Kingdom of Egelea, is 150 kilometers, about three hours by airship.
The weather was fine. The weather was fine, and we would be able to enjoy a comfortable flight.
"Jin, you saved my life this time," said Reinhardt with a deep emotion.

Reinhard thanked Jin with a deep emotion on his face.
"That's what I'm saying. Thanks to Reinhardt's cooperation, our conversation went smoothly. Erza?"
"Yes. Brother Rai is very reliable in times like this.

"Ha ha, thank you. ...... But, you're going to do more work on the Kunlun island, right?"
"Yes, we will."
The size of Kunlun Island is about the size of Izu Oshima. It could house 10,000 people if it wanted to, but it currently has a population of zero. If Jin and Elsa are counted, the population is two.

There is still room for improvement.
"If there are applicants and the right people, they can live here. ......"
There is a disadvantage that it is difficult to move between continents. The warp gate is still not open to the public.

"If more and more people use it, they will find out sooner or later, won't they?"
I'm sure that's the first thing to do.
Jin, Erza, and Reinhardt are in agreement on this point as well.

For now, the question of when the warp gate would be opened to the public remained unresolved.
"I'd like to talk with Marcia again, and more slowly."
"Hmm. I came here on business this time, so I couldn't take my time."

He even wants Marcia and Rodrigo to join the Jin family.
While we were talking about this in the sky, the airship came out over the sea.
Below us was a vast expanse of blue ocean. It is an inland sea surrounded by the Elias Peninsula and the southern islands.

Therefore, the influence of the ocean currents is minimal and the waves are relatively calm. So far, no dangerous large monsters have been confirmed.
I am sure that a sea route will be opened in the near future.

The map was distributed in anticipation of this.
The conversation moved on to the topic of famine.
"It seems that the Kingdom of Egelea is also free from famine.

Reinhard muttered.
"Yes. The inland area seems to be in danger."
As expected, the area was so large that even Jin's fifth column had not been able to gather enough information on the entire area of the small group of countries.

"The eastern part of the Kingdom of Cerroa has many people living on pasture."
Reinhard explained. As expected of a diplomat, he is well versed in the affairs of other countries.
The eastern part of the Kingdom of Cerroa has many rough grasslands, which are not suitable for grain cultivation.

The answer to the question of how the inhabitants live is pastoralism.
The people who live as nomads make their wealth from grazing
Mouton are herbivores, very similar to sheep on earth. Their main use is to harvest wool. The meat is edible, but is said to taste worse than that of wild shepherds.

"The tax is paid on the raw wool, so they don't have to suffer from famine, and the abundant rainfall helps the grass to grow better, so they are probably saved.
This is Jin's analysis.
"Well, then, if there is going to be a famine, it will be in the center of the Kingdom of Selroa.

The southern region of Korin is similar to the Shoro Kingdom in terms of climate, and no famine has been reported.
The Kingdom of Klein, the Kingdom of Franz, and the central part of the Kingdom of Cerroa are the areas that were hit by the famine this time.
"If the problem of food transportation is solved..."

Jin believed that the famine could be overcome if the logistics were smooth.
Topopo and dried fish in the Kingdom of Elias. Wheat and dried fish from the Kingdom of Egelea. The Shoro Kingdom could also help with wheat.
And with the wild deer and shepherds from the mountains, they will manage to keep the wheat sown in the fall until it is ready for harvest.

If Jin would help them, it would be when they did not make it in time or when some unforeseen trouble arose.
Jin was relieved to know that he would be able to get through this without over-involvement.
Soon they would be in the Kingdom of Egelea.

Meanwhile, in the Kingdom of Elias, where Jin had left, the King, the Prime Minister, and the Marquis of Firenziano were continuing their discussions.
"This map is frighteningly accurate!

When shown to the leaders of the knights, generals, and other military officials, they all responded in the same way.
"...... I'm afraid of Sir Jin Nido. The thought of this technology being used in a war makes me shiver.
The Prime Minister gave his honest opinion.

"No, as Sir Reinhard Randall and Elsa Randall said the other day, he has no such ambitions, he just wants to live peacefully."
The Marquis of Firenziano defended Jin.
"Well, it seems that the King of Egelea and the Emperor of Shoro are of the same opinion.

Blitzen Skala Elias XII of the Kingdom of Elias, who seemed to have been listening to the conversation through regular contact, nailed Jin with the words, "There is no need to be more cautious than necessary.
"Instead, we should consider the various issues that have been suggested."
The King said. Many problems have arisen in setting out to sea with large vessels, including the Marcia disaster.

The need to build lighthouses along the coast.
Standardization of cargo containers.
The communication of information by means of flags and signals, and the international standardization of such communication.

Establishment of shipping routes and port facilities.
Establishment of a system for maritime rescue.
These are just some of the points that need to be addressed internationally. There will be more to come, depending on what we consider.

Furthermore, if they were to build and operate large vessels in their own countries, the problem would be doubled.
"We should also consider the operation of hot-air balloons and their mass production in our country.
Hopefully, hot air balloons could be used for maritime rescue. A search from the sky would be effective, especially on the sea.

If a large ship can carry one, it could be used for reconnaissance and rescue calls.
"Well, well, well... We have a lot of work to do this early in the new year, don't we?
"But it's not about war, it's about peace and prosperity. It's worthwhile."

The Marquis of Florenziano quieted the Prime Minister who was blurting out in a deliberate manner.
"Yes, you are right.
The King nodded his head in agreement with the Marquis.
