Chapter 157 – Irina and – 3
Sea dragon scales.
Surprisingly, these scales, which float around with only a little bit of force, recharge their own energy.
Of course, the speed is extremely low, but in fact, it is a power close to infinite power.
It’s just that the output isn’t enough to create meaningful power with this.
At that time, the mana used to greet Irina and the others was already charged.
In fact, I didn’t even spend much. Because of the sun’s magical power, I had to use unnecessary strength to manipulate the materials related to water and ice, and it was only used as a practice.
But if you use this power.
“Miss Alina. Please.”
“Well.”
Alina Earthlane.
Princess of the Duke of Earthlane.
Royal knight.
A rare genius who realized the power of the earth himself.
She stretched out her hand
Doo doo doo doo doo!
The earth trembles.
The earth begins to shake. The vibrations reached here far away.
Farmers further away began to kneel and pray.
See
This is Earth Lane.
Iljini, a god who has ruled the earth, plowing the earth with a single gesture.
Match!
Alina Earthlane’s outstretched hands merge into one.
At the same time, the trembling earth gradually becomes quiet.
“Right now, this is the limit.”
“Indeed.”
Nothing has changed, at least on the outside, but the inside of the land is already a mess.
According to Alina, she may have to try a few times with whoever she brings, unless the Duke of Earthrain takes the initiative herself.
“No matter how powerful an aristocrat is, there is a limit to arranging the ground. Even more, the ground is the place where one’s feet stand, and the ground is essential for people to live. The moment she carelessly touches it, the incident of that day will repeat itself.”
“On that day?”
“The Kutran sinkhole incident.”
A sinkhole is a phenomenon in which the ground subsides, leaving a large hole in the ground.
This is a phenomenon that often occurs even in modern times. It’s probably not just one or two reasons. From what I’ve heard at first glance, it’s because the underground water is drained or the cave collapses.
“If it’s Kutran, is it the Eastern Province?”
“Well. A huge hole was opened while working recklessly in Kutran in the eastern provinces. Half the city collapsed.”
Half of the city.
That such a thing happened
It’s also good that I didn’t use my hands recklessly.
“So what you are doing now is to prevent that?”
“Right.”
The brown magic that shimmered in Alina’s eyes slowly disappeared.
“For now, it seems to me that there is no need to worry too much, but just in case. After exploring it a few times, if you feel like it’s okay, finish strengthening the existing ground with my magical power and then proceed with the construction, there should be no problem.”
“Indeed… As expected, an Earth Priest is essential in this field.”
Hundreds of years of history is no exaggeration, that must mean this.
Alina snorted at my words.
“Well, even if it’s a sinkhole, it’s rare in the southern region. Creating an artificial river is something we have no experience with either. This work deserves the support of the Duke of Earthlane. I will write you a letter.”
“Thank you. Sir Alina.”
Of course, there will be a price, but more than that, a high-ranking noble who is hungry for the essential quest for magic and knowledge will ask for knowledge about the actual business rather than such wealth.
As Alina said, if the people from the Duke of Earthlane’s family come, the success of the business can be said to be certain.
“Are these the scales of that sea dragon? It’s really close to a national treasure.”
Even that Ali and Earthlane were looking at the sea dragon’s scales with their eyes shining.
“At first we’ll draw water from the river, but we’re thinking of planting this sea dragon’s scales at the bottom of the lake.”
“It would be nice, but since the color is the scales of a sea dragon, there is a possibility that seawater will come out.”
“That is true. Then then.”
“Is that also a fun! Haha!”
Seeing through my heart, Alina smiled like she was having fun.
She might even make salt.
Salt is a material that can only be obtained in places close to the sea, even in the southern regions. Now that Count Thoth has occupied most of it, the actual price can not be seen lightly.
“It would be nice if even rock salt could be found.”
“It is difficult. In this land.”
Unfortunately, there are no rock salt mines in Brahms Kingdom!
It wouldn’t matter if you dug into the great mountain range, how much money and people would be required to run a mining industry in a place teeming with monsters.
Of course, dark fields existed, but the entire kingdom was unable to afford the salt obtained from dark fields, so it was a major source of income and was also managed by the country.
“If it produces even seawater, that’s not bad either.”
“Are you saying that sea dragon scales can purify water so that it doesn’t rot?”
“It is a possibility.”
In fact, I am still thinking about how to use the empty land close to the great mountain range.
With the power of Alina Earth Lane, he continues to worry while borrowing her help in clearing the ground.
It’s not bad to make it into a field here, but the food itself is enough with Muller.
So, what I am thinking of is an artificial river or lake.
Even if it is the scales of a sea dragon, it cannot be said that seawater comes out. In fact, even now, if you want to, you’re just making water.
Even artificial rivers and lakes can be made more efficient than large-scale construction in real life, as long as one can open a road and draw water with the power of magic.
Of course, we need to worry about the ecosystem.
“This is also our role.”
The place where the land was plowed and leveled countless times was the Duke of Earthlane. There is an overwhelming gap in the experience and knowledge accumulated in such fields that cannot be compared to other places.
“I can’t say for sure, but.”
Wow, that’s a scary thing to say.
Actually, that’s not wrong.
There are many controversies, such as destroying the ecosystem and damaging nature, despite saying that my country in my previous life was doing some business. I don’t know if I knew it or if I really didn’t know.
Not much more in this world, such an industry can be created by individual hands.
The sinkhole is a prime example. Of course, it will be difficult unless you are born with really great power.
“Then let’s go.”
“Yes.”
Slowly, the two of them rode the horse back.
Farmers who prayed as we passed continue to kneel.
Now I looked at them as if it were natural.
“Come to think of it.”
In a moment of silence, Alina opened her mouth.
The escort knights were a bit far away for us.
“I heard you and Miss Irina were so sweet.”
Haha.”
A bitter laugh was built up.
It’s not that I haven’t thought about her subtle position, but it’s hard to say anything from my side.
It is said that it is a free body, but it is not without her background.
She She is an aristocrat who can be compared to me personally.
“Because I love you.”
“… Is it.”
At my words, Alina hesitated and opened her mouth.
I don’t know what kind of expression she’s making as she looks away from her, but is she interested in me?
That night, she remembered her conversation with Irina.
* * *
“Are you Alina? When we meet sometimes, we say hello and ask how we are doing.”
She replied calmly while Irina pinched my breasts.
“It’s really admirable to see a woman like me have her eyes on another woman like that!”
“It’s not like that.”
Don’t pinch while using magic. It hurts
Irina, who grumbled at her and buried her face in her chest, let out a sigh.
“Even if you ask me… She said that he also puts some distance in front of me… ? She seems to be considerate of me, though.”
Personally, I like it and respect it. Irina added so.
The relationship between man and woman is intertwined.
Not only the relationship between men and women, but also the background is intertwined.
“Are you going to marry him?”
“Hmm.”
At least it’s not a question I’m asking here, but it must have been a bad thing for me to say it first.
… Okay, let’s see.
“After marrying you.”
“Yeah?”
I smiled at the figure of Irina, who opened her eyes wide.
“She knows she’s not a bad person, and she knows she’s expressing her crush on me, but she’s thinking that even if she marries her, she’ll marry you and then marry her.”
“Boo.”
At my words, Irina sniffed.
“Okay… Sniff! Even if you don’t… Sniff! I can… Sniff!”
“Are you talking with that face?”
He grabbed Irina, who buried her face in her chest, and raised her head.
I could see Irina’s smirking face as her tears and snot streamed down her face, blushing.
“Wow, ugly.”
“It’s bad… ! Sniff!”
Irina wiped her face as she began to sob.
She must have been quite anxious.
She said it was nice just to be by her side, but she’s a woman anyway.
Rather, I’m sorry.
“Sniff! Peeng!”
She laughed when I saw her refusing to touch her as I patted her breasts and wiped her face.
I tried to press her finger against her new flushed nose.
“Don’t do it!”
“Sorry.”
Her angst looked at her and said.
“Will you marry me?”
“Sniff! Yes, it’s cool!”
Irina, who smiled brightly and with a distorted face, was more beautiful than ever.
