The world's strongest hard worker

I've decided to travel with Kurt, but I still have a lot to prepare for and I can't leave Westminster right away.

That's why I decided to train alone.

Since this is also a golden policy, it is two birds with one stone.

"Ah."

Yikes

When he left the inn, Lar was waiting.

Can I help you?

"It's no big deal, but I wonder what you're doing."

"We're going to practice magic."

Speaking of which, Lar had a big business association.

If you evaluate what you're going to make, you may be able to buy it for a good price.

"What are you gonna do?

"Let's make something. If the quality is good, I'd like you to buy it at Rall's Chamber of Commerce."

"Ho ho! That smells like money!

Ral suddenly got tense.

"So? What the hell are you making?

"I don't know if I can make it yet, but I thought I'd make salt."

"Salt! I like it. Demand is quite high, and it will be worth it."

"I don't think we can make good salt. I think the grains will get coarser."

"It's okay. If we can just get the quantity, we'll be fine."

"Okay. Let's go to the beach first."

"Ooh!

Cue!

◇

I came to the shore.

I actually visited the sea for the first time.

The tidal wind blew and a unique smell of the sea.

"So, how do you make salt?

"I want to evaporate the sea water."

"Well, isn't that impossible for a boulder? And even if it evaporates, it's going to be washed away by waves."

"Let's make an artificial pond to prevent that."

Use earth magic to surround the sea with earthen walls.

Transfer magic to the ground and build a wall where I imagine.

Although there is a lot of magic, it is the first time to create an artificial pond that is not too big.

"... I wonder if it can be made in such an instant."

"Many people seem to be able to do it if they want to. My magic is still immature."

I still don't understand 5% of the magical knowledge I can learn in Wisdom.

There's still a long way to go.

You shouldn't be so satisfied with this.

"... immature?... eh?

Next, I will proceed to evaporate the seawater in the artificial pond.

It evaporates as it is, but in order to be more efficient, it is necessary to increase the temperature of seawater.

I decided to raise the temperature of the water directly.

The theory of fire magic is temperature change.

It creates fire by raising the temperature.

If you think so, ice magic is the same.

However, to make it easier to distinguish, fire magic is used to correct the temperature. We use ice magic for negative changes.

The temperature of the sea water rose and gradually boiled.

It will deplete the magic several times to evaporate all of the seawater in the pond.

"Hey... is magic okay?

I heard that Raul seemed a little worried.

"I've been depleting my magic a few times, so I'm fine."

"That's not okay at all!

... certainly.

Recently, it has become too obvious to be in a state of magic depletion, and my senses seem to be a little paralyzed.

It is very painful if you think about this normally, and it is not okay if you try it once.

"Here, I brought you a potion. Drink it."

That said, Raul took out a vial of red and purple liquid from inside the bag.

This is the potion?

Never seen it before.

"... can I drink it?

"Of course. I've prepared it for you."

"... won't you charge me for the potion later or something?

"What do you think I am..."

"No, that's the first impression I had...."

That story about Pete and the others.

"I think that's my fault, too. But if we don't take any action in that state, all four of us will die if we just run. Wouldn't it make sense for me to hire three men as escorts and do my best to survive?... hah, you don't make a good impression anyway. This is how merchants live."

"No, I was convinced by Raul's thoughts."

Huh?

"Ral did the right thing. I think it's a fine way of living to feel bad for the other person, but not to bend my mind."

"Stop it. That's not such a compliment. It's a reprehensible act."

"Maybe. But Ralph is a good guy. Thank you for the potion."

I took the vial and drank the red and purple liquid.

"... no way"

"Upu. Ahahahaha! I was wearing a cool one, but that won't stop me."

"... were you wearing a cool one?

"Yes, I was wearing a cool one."

... I don't know.

◇

"I didn't expect to be able to make this much salt in such a short time...."

The sea water evaporated and salt formed.

Is it about 100 kg for the quantity?

This alone is worth about 50 gold coins.

Thanks to Ral's potion, I can't run out of magic.

Well, after all, the magic will spontaneously be depleted, but Ral's generosity is truly appreciated.

"It's hard to transport. I have to get back to the city."

"No, just give me a minute and we'll be able to move it."

"What? Why?

"Acquire skills."

"Skills!? We can't just wait a minute to get it!

"You don't know unless you try, do you?

"... then I'll just give it a second."

When I checked the skill acquisition conditions, I thought it wouldn't take much time because I could do it.

And this is a very useful skill.

I will definitely take this opportunity.
