Me, Adventurer! - Undoubled Skills Are Flat Magic

"Not enough salt.

"... why are you telling me?

The place is one of the guild's rooms. "The last thing we do is work as slaves," everyone says, so I left my wallet with Luca, just like yesterday, and left shopping and everything else to everyone, but I and Wu had some time to spare because of it, and they were somehow here to peek at the guild's request bulletin board. That was the first voice after Imelda found him there and brought him to the separate room.

"I can't use the workplace in Senna Village right now. I have it in stock, but I have it for 10 days at most. Border Sets has asked me to send it to you, but at best we can only procure about 3 days worth of money to use in this city. This is also because of the war. The prospect of rebuilding Senna Village has not yet stood, and it is clear that there will be a shortage of salt sooner or later.

"... so why are you telling me? I'm still a sourcing star.

I ask again as I hold my temples. I'm an adventurer, and procurement has finally become one star. The last few days I've been unloading material from demons I've hunted in the Great Forest, and that's why I've been ranked higher. Still one star, though. It is not a rank where national strategic supplies like salt can be procured.

Salt readily available in modern Japan was also, until a long time ago, the exclusive supply of the state. That's not so much about the old days either. The doors were opened to the private sector when it was certainly some time after Heisei. At the time, it is remembered that a CM called "O O's Salt" was flourishing. This is true even in modern Japan. If it is this feudal state, it goes without saying its importance. Strategies without deception. I'm not talking about how an adventurer's affair can be. If you get your hands on the detour, your neck will fly, not the metaphor.

Oh, so the village of Senna was attacked? Indeed, it is a great pain for the country to be crushed where salt is produced. Did those bandits even think about that? You weren't just hitting it off.

"It's a guy called Thoughts on the Earliest Straw. There's nothing more we can do. If it were a whirlwind's secret, or a slight hope, would it still be difficult?

I'm out again, "Whirlwind"! That's another kind of faith, this. Nevertheless, the whirlwind owes Dantes village chief, Dantes Weisman, an extraordinary favour. You won't even be told to defile the village chief's name… but I don't want to imitate it in a way that lowers my ratings. Respond with a sigh. I can't help it anymore.

"There's nothing you can do about it under the condition that you don't pry into how you get it and how you get it, or that you guarantee that you won't harm me or the people around you because you procured it.

"Huh! Is that true!? Not one barrel or lid barrel, 100 for the future... no, we need 1000 barrels!?

"I think I can handle it. If you can even swallow the terms.

This condition is mandatory. It's like selling a fight to a country. 'The request I received from the Alliance, which is part of the power of the State, has led me to be chased from the country', or not be shattered.

"Okay, I'll also specify it in the contract. Special nomination requests also increase rewards and points.

"The client will be asked in the Dorton Adventurer Guild.

"Huh!... right, right. All right, let's create that contract with deputy manager authority.

If your client is your deputy manager, Imelda, you can't be the one who chopped (physically) the worst and hung me up. With a country or a lord?

But if this Adventurer Guild, Dorton's substantial governing body and a state-owned company, is the client, that means the country and the lord are the client. If we try to rebel the covenant, the divine punishment of God of law and commerce will fall on the king and the lord. Enough as security.

The compensation and delivery deadlines were then finely packed.

First, 200 barrels should be delivered by 10 days later, then 100 barrels every 10 days, for a total of 1000 barrels to complete the request. Delivery may be made in advance. The reason I don't deliver at once is because I can't prepare the barrel. I was told that even scratching empty barrels in the village of Senna and all over Dorton is probably the limit that 400 barrels can now be collected. There's nothing I can do about the physical limits.

The reward is 5 silver coins per barrel. In total, 5,000 pieces of silver coins means 5 pieces of large gold coins. Considering that it was one big silver coin per barrel in the village, I think it's pretty expensive, but this time it's probably because it means incremental rewards. It was said that points would be equally incremental.

I've also finished creating a magic contract that I've been quite used to seeing since I was 7, and I decided to act quickly. The barrel was ready in the guild by 3 days, but I thought it would be a waste of time until then. Maybe it's a bad habit for a modern man.

Take Woo to the Great Forest. It's like a routine here for a while. But we're not hunting demons today. No, although I hunted one big snake for Woo's bait. Its serpent, about 6m long, is Woo's bait except for leather and demon stones. The meat alone will be in a good amount, so you won't have to come hunting tomorrow.

Proceed south through the Great Forest for a while and head west on the way out to the coast. All the coastlines south of the Great Forest are cut off cliffs and rocky reefs, and we can't pull a boat over. Occasionally large sailboats run offshore but are really extremely rare, and they also never come close to the shoreline where there is a risk of a shoreline. I mean, a place that doesn't go unnoticed.

Get off the coast on the skywalk and stand on one of the rocky reefs protruding from the sea level. Woo comes down with me on the plane, too. I've already given it a few rides, so it won't break out in the air. I'm used to it.

This rocky reef, but in fact, each of the rocks protruding can be a giant one. I swim the camera to the sea in my spare time to make sure, so I'm pretty sure. They vary in size, but there seem to be many that are about 20m in diameter. Today I will borrow one of them, one of them with a slightly larger eye diameter of about 30m.

Lift the rock to sea in a plane. Seaweed, corals, shellfish, etc. are stretched out everywhere, but it is cut from rock to rock to sea.

The rock is then cut to a rectangle. When I cut it off crisply in the usual extremely thin plane, it became about 15mx15mx20m of rectangle. No cracks or holes in it. Sounds good. It sounds like granite, but I don't really know what type of rock it is, so I won't think about it.

Slice the top edge about 5 cm thin. This is a lid. It would be hard to use at this size, so I wouldn't dare split it it in half.

Scrape the rest into boxes. Considering the strength, the thickness of the mouth should be about 5 cm, and it should be rounded and curved according to the direction towards the bottom. There is no dust or noise at all as it just moves the curved extremely thin plane. It is stone processing that is friendly to people and the environment. If I stop being an adventurer, shall I be a masonry?

After washing beautifully in sea water, sink once in the sea. Keep moving underwater and take it to the cliffside of the hall's garden. Confirm with signs that there are no people nearby, and quickly transport them into the garden. It's good to have a hall in this position. Can I install it at the southwest end of the garden? You can create a propeller on the plane and let it wind and dry.

This is what will be a temporary reservoir of salt to be made in bulk (...). Let's just call it salt. Making salt over and over again seems like a hassle, so I wanted that storage facility to complete the creation in one go. I could have asked the carpenters and masonry to work on it, but this time the schedule was tight, so I decided to prepare it myself. I only have 10 days anyway. If I wanted to make this size bin normal, wouldn't I be able to do it in 10 days?

Walk backwards on the route that brought in the salt deposit and back to the rocky reef. Finally, we make salt.

Move further south than earlier. Not for a reason, but because I felt it would be prettier to stay away from people at all.

Next, equipment for making salt is created on a flat surface. This time it's the vacuum dryer that creates it. It's a pretty big facility.

Explaining the vacuum dryer to a large number of people is a device that separates water from other things by spraying the aqueous solution in a vacuum. It was in the lab at the university. I remember doing something called "Experimenting with Making Instant Coffee from Dripped Coffee". I was a programmatic discipline, but I was mixing organic chemistry with elective subjects that I heard were easy to take credit for. The experiment was interesting and the unit was taken, so I still think it was a good choice. Science interesting.

When the vacuum dryer is broadly blocked, it becomes four: "vacuum pump", "spray tank", "solution tank" and "separation tank". Drain air from the spray tank with a vacuum pump and spray the solution from the solution tank. The structure is that the separated heavy particles fall from the bottom of the spray tank to the separation tank, and the missing moisture is discharged from the vacuum pump as water vapor.

The equipment prototyped was about 30 m high and about 10 m wide and deep. Especially the spray tank and separation tank are large. It's empty inside, but I got this size because I make a lot of it. With this size on the boulder, you may see it from a ship passing offshore. It's a camouflage with a cliff texture on a giant plane.

The solution tank was not created, and it was decided to divert the crane neck used in cleaning the well and suck it up directly from the sea. The crane neck has a filter so you don't have to worry about trash or small fish getting in.

Creating a vacuum pump was the hardest part. It took me a long time to link the movement of the piston up and down to the valve. It's not mechanical. When I tried it again and again and it gradually worked properly, I accidentally got a gutsy pose.

When activated, halibut and fine salt crystals descend into the separation tank. Apparently, it's a success. If I wanted to continue creating it like this, its separation tank froze with the pisci and frost began to stick. What is this!?

... Ah, that one, Voile Charles! Saline, which swells rapidly and increases in volume, drops in temperature. Because it takes away its lost heat from its surroundings, the separator tank, which accumulates cold salt, froze. Don't be afraid, Voile Charles, that even a vacuum dryer will show its face following the refrigerator.

Keeping it cold may reduce your creation efficiency. Fortunately, it's sunny today, and the time is noon. Let's do something about this place with the help of God.

Create a large number of 1m square planes and set the surface material to the mirror surface. Arrange it circularly around the spray tank and separation tank to reflect the sun's light. The frost of the separating tank where the light gathers gradually dissolves. Apparently, it's a success. Oh, boy.

Thank you. The counterfeit of a modern machine that I make is a flaw somewhere, or a subtle glitch. It's not lethal, but it feels like the operation needs ingenuity. After all, modern technology is amazing.

We also have a point of view for continuous operations, so let's take Woo, who looks bored, for a nautical walk and a sprinkle.

Secure the opaque, slightly larger plane by sprinkling it appropriately over the sea, as can be seen by Woo. It's about 50cm apart, and it's like a bouncing stone.

When I run out on it properly, Woo gets caught and runs out, too. Woo, who was terrified at first, gets used to it and runs out fine. The surface of the plane is smooth, so I admire you for slipping a few times and falling into the sea. I don't have a lot of resistance to the water originally, so it seems to be fun to play with the fall.

After a while of indulging in the water chase with Woo, I get the water out of the water bottle I was bringing to rest. I'll pour plenty of it into a vessel made on a plane for you, too, Woo. He drank a little sea water and was thirsty, and he starts drinking it with a lot of momentum. I drink water directly from the water bottle, too.

Autumn is over, but in this part of the world, where the climate was originally warm, now is the easiest season of the year. Is it a little chilly at dawn with short sleeves? That's about it. Now the wind across the sea is pleasant.

◇

After a while of indulgence, signs of a large demon caught on to sign perception. Woo seems to have noticed too, moving his ears tight and alert.

Signs of demons come closer and closer. Direction is almost directly below, from the sea! I can already see the demons in the sea in black. Big! Probably over 10m! This guy's a shark demon I checked on the camera before!

Probably recognized us as prey when we were bashing on the water. It's like a rocket coming towards the plane we're on! And...

Dobechi no!!

... I was hitting my nose to the plane with a grand bang.

I had the plane fixed at sea. Considering the safety, I made a pretty solid plane. The shark demon could not break through it. You're a perfect suicide bomber. The plane did not even move (loose).

The shark demon slowly began to sink into the sea. Apparently, he passed out. Speaking of which, I think I heard that the nose surface is one of the weaknesses for sharks. Well, not just sharks, but most vertebrates have weak noses.

You can leave it like this, but given the safety in this neighborhood, you'd better get rid of it. I quickly surround the shark demons in a plane and seal their movements.

Carry the shark demon to the top of the shoreline and release the plane. I haven't woken up yet.

I usually chop off my neck or poke one of my brains or heart, but I don't really know where the shark's brain, heart, or neck is. I had no choice but to cut my head off around the front of my chest fin.

The shark demon jumped bikun once, and stopped moving.

Well... what do we do with this?
