Magicraft Meister Part 1

On November 30, 3457, at the southern tip of the Kingdom of Selroa, the port city of Kupu.

The port was packed with onlookers.

"Oh, wow!

"...... is huge!"

"Does it really work?

"If that thing is practical, it's going to change the world."

"I'm jealous of ......."

The name of the ship, which was launched after much thought and consideration, is the , a 40-meter wooden sailing ship.

The type of ship is similar to the Caravelle that once sailed the great voyages of discovery on Earth.

Although it is a sailing ship, it is propelled by magical propulsion.

Wind magic is directed into the sails to propel the ship.

Small sailboats were not uncommon here in Kupu, but this large ship with three masts and split sails had already caught the public's attention before it was even launched.

"She's a nice piece of work. There are no leaks and the swaying is reduced.

"It's all thanks to you, sir."

On board the ship, the ship's owner, Eckart Tekles, and the magecraftsman, Altaf, were exchanging words.Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You, the helm is in perfect condition. We are ready to go.

Gjenner called out from the stern. Altaf's wife.

In fact, Altaf and Gjenner are not human beings at all, but fifth column quintas sent by Jin. Altaf is Regulus 50 and Gjenner is Deneb 30.

The assistant golem is also one of the artisan golems, artisan (smith) 40.

"All right, raise the anchor!　Set sail!"

"Oh!"

Of course, there are many human crew members on board. <

Engage the engines.

"Aye, sir!"

The giant magic tool ...... which has the same effect as the wind magic <> starts to move.

A strong wind is created and the sails are filled to the brim.

"Oh!"

the onlookers gathered on the shore cheer.

leaves the harbor slowly.

"All right!　Run around on a trial basis!　Get used to it as soon as possible!"

Eckhart, the ship's owner, instructs the captain.

"We'll be going to the Shoro Kingdom soon to buy food and other supplies!"

Knowing that the northern and eastern parts of the Kingdom of Selroa are running out of food, Eckart intends to use this large ship to go to the Shoro Empire, which is rumored to have a good harvest, to buy wheat.

Meanwhile, at Simos on the shore of Lake Wass in the Shoro Empire, the second new ship was to be built based on the plans left by Jin and his crew.

The arsenal is the same one that built the .

Most of the workers and assistants are the same people who built the .

The shipbuilders (shipwrights) from the town of Simos, Couwald, were the site supervisors this time.

However, the launching method will be the so-called water pouring method, instead of moving the boat on a cart to the lake.

The reason for this is that the ship is currently under construction.

The additional work was carried out at the suggestion of Christoph, who was in a cold sweat when Bernstein did not start moving.

As for the ship, the same materials were gathered as at that time.

The magical engineers (magiengineers) were five first-rate, if not top-notch, but reasonably competent people. What they lack in quality, they make up for in numbers.

"Well, good luck!"

Having built it once, it was not easy to build it again.

"I can't believe how slow the work is without Jin-dono ......."

The same steps were being followed, but the details were not so easy to follow. This is the part that Jin had been secretly making changes to.

"Oh, there are so many gaps!

It won't fit!

"Why doesn't it fit!" "Why doesn't it fit?

There was a lot of complaining and grumbling going on all over the place. Couwald was busy trying to calm them down.

The first ship, the , was the prestige of the Shoro Empire, and its primary goal was to succeed.

The second ship, which would be a sister ship to the first, had to be built without top-notch engineers.

Couwald's efforts were extraordinary.

Then, I came across a file that Jin had left behind. It was titled "Memorandum on New Shipbuilding. It was given to Christophe by Jin.

Couwald had taken it over, but he had been too busy with the task at hand to pay much attention to it.

"Is this ......?"

When Couwald casually picked up the book and read it, he felt like he had been hit over the head. It contained a list of points that pointed out the problematic areas.

"I didn't know Mr. Jin had put all this stuff together. ......!"

I wished I had read it from the beginning, but it was too late.

"I must do what I can do even now. ......!"

With Jin's memorandum in hand, Couwald looks around the ship under construction.

"Oh, these joints are indeed dangerous. Check the strength of ...... here!"

"The joints over there are dangerous if they leak, check them carefully."

"Hmm, the jet thrusters for the power source are not reliable unless Jin-dono made them himself. It might be better to increase the number of emergency propulsion units."

With the memorandum in hand, Couwald supervises the site. He writes down what he notices.

"...... Maybe we should have given Jin-dono an assistant or two at that time, so that he could learn how to do his job.

I even think about that. So, Coubert selected a young shipbuilder (shipwright) to be his assistant.

In this way, the shipbuilding technology of the Shoro Empire was gradually improved.

This is Bernstein.

And December 12.

Bernstein has left the coast of Inaina and is approaching Kupu, the southern tip of the Kingdom of Selroa.

"Captain!　I see a large ship!　It's as big as our ship!"

"What?"

The lookout on the observation platform on the roof of the ship's cabin, not the mast, reported.

A few minutes later, the crew, including the captain, could see the presence of a large ship.

"The name of the ship is ......<>, huh? It must be a ship from the Kingdom of Selroa. Is it going with the wind in its sails? ...... No, wait?　What's a little funny?　There's hardly any wind today. The sails of that ship are carrying so much wind.

And then found Bernstein, and there was an uproar on board.

"Oh, that ship!　Is that a ship of the Shoro Empire?"

"What's the name of the ship, ......?"

"Is it as big as this one? ...... but it has no sails or masts. How is it going?

Only Altaf, who was on board, was not surprised. Of course, he had heard the story from the old man.

（Is that the new ship you have built, Mr. Chief? (Is that the new ship that the chief built? It's as good as I expected.)

* * * *

The two ships pass each other at a distance of less than 100 meters.

heads west and <> heads east.

Their crews stand at the edge of the ship, wave to each other, and call out.

"Hey!　I don't know how far you're going, but hang in there!

"Hang in there!

"Stay with us!" "Stay with us!"

Although they were from different countries, the sailors must have been able to communicate with each other. They sent their cheers to each other, even though they were not sure if anyone could hear them or not.

Everyone present thought that this was the beginning of the era of large vessels.
