Magicraft Meister Part 3

As a reward for assisting the Principality of Dalat, Jin received an island off the coast of Tobo, a town in the southwestern part of the Principality.

The island was not given any particular name, but was simply called <>.

Jin had taken it over as a de facto <> rather than a semi-permanent .......

However, externally, the island was treated as a .

The reason why Jin took this place as a leased land was to protect , which is located about 100 km south-southeast from here.

At present, the Principality of Dalat and the Principality of Mimaka have no intention of venturing out to sea in terms of technology, national power, or situation.

But 50 or 100 years from now, who knows?

However, since the island of Onogoro is warded with illusionary wards, even if you approach it by ship, you will not be able to see it.

And, the ocean currents around the island are so complicated that only a ship with a powerful propulsion system would get close to the island.

Incidentally, the currents were only recently discovered.

The reason for this is that Jin and his crews have not had a chance to know the details of the ocean since they have been traveling through a .

* * * *

Just before this, Jin and Lao-kun were discussing where to lease the land in Horai Island.

"So, you say you like that island called , right?

< secret for as long as possible.

"That part I don't understand. Can you explain it to me in detail?"

<

The old man explained it to me like this.

We will set up a warp gate or a magic circle on the island and make it a so-called "hub" or "transfer port".

This makes travel by ship less efficient and reduces the frequency of use.

Thus, the risk of <> being discovered is reduced.

We need to do this to earn foreign currency from tourists, otherwise we can't explain what we are developing this place for.

Let's call it a development of the island for tourists from <<<< conference countries>>.

And we should also operate tourist vessels, albeit mainly on the coast, to keep them from going in the direction of <>, the old man said.

"I understand. You've thought that far, haven't you?"

* * * *

So Jin started to develop <>.

"Hmmm... ...... I guess we can't keep calling it ."

The first thing he did was to name the island.

"I think <> means <> in Ainu language. ......

That is why we decided to call it <>.

By the way, it is called <>, not <>.

"Well, let's just call it that."

Any development would require an understanding of the geography of the island.

The old man had prepared a detailed map of the island, but in order to see the actual situation with the naked eye, Jin accompanied Reiko on a check flight in Hope's <.

Raven Island is nearly elliptical in shape, with its long axis running northeast-southwest.

Topographically, it is simple, with a raised mountain near the center. The elevation is 333 meters, the same as the Tokyo Tower.

The vegetation consists of evergreen shrubs on the outer sea side to the southeast and a sparse forest of evergreen trees of 5 to 10 meters on the inner sea side to the northwest.

There are birds, but no mammals, including small animals. Insects are scarce, with only a few tropical butterflies, a few flower wasps, flower flies, and small beetles. There are no reptiles or amphibians.

"Did the originals not like the idea of having such small animals?"

<<

The old man answered me through the manacam.

"So that's how it is. ......"

Jin was also convinced by that.

"Well, then, ......"

Once again, Jin consulted with the old man.

"As for me, I am wondering what to do with the nature of the island.

The question is whether to develop the island as a tourist attraction by preserving the nature, or to change the vegetation artificially to some extent.

<

"I knew it. ......"

"Maybe because it was supposed to be a breadbasket."

.

"I see. ......"

Jin has another concern.

The question is whether to go the same route or a different one, as was once developed as a resort area.

In <, Jin was going to ...... based on the modern Japanese resorts that he knows.

"Let's go our own route here ......."

Since the goal was not to make money, Jin decided to keep the facilities to a minimum.

"Oh, I'd rather make it a vacation home. ......"

Jin thought of a way to make it a resort condominium instead of a resort hotel and have only certain people come to the resort.

"I'll think about that later."

He thinks it might be a good idea to make it exclusive to <>.

"And then there's the warp gate.

This is the main one.

<>.

"Yes, I think so. ...... and then each country ...... hmmm, it will be complicated."

Jin concluded that for the time being, it would be enough to go to and from <>.

"But I'd like to be able to come and go more easily than I can now."

<>.

"Right."

As for this, since Jin and the others are behind the scenes, we have to ask the three principalities (and the <>) to do their best.

"And the defense mechanism?"

I don't think they can attack us from the sea, but we have to be careful.

"Maybe we should build a secret base underground. ......

Jin smiles mischievously. Men always like secret bases, no matter how old they are.

"Oh, by the way, what about the underground resources of the island?

The underground," Jin recalls.

<

"It looks like we can only get limestone. ...... and then fossils?"

Still, if there are rare fossils to be found, I think that we should avoid any unnecessary development of the area.

"Yes, please do."

Thus, the plan to develop <>, or <>, proceeded steadily.
