The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 1166: Submarine

The next day, I brought Albert and the others to the Monsters Kingdom to introduce the mermaids.

"So they are the mermaids. It’s good that you gained an extra force underwater. Especially since Spot and his children are busy training," Albert said.

"Yeah. Though their fighting skill is only around the level of the angels when I first brought them here. And they are poisonous as well. Normal healing magic doesn’t work if their poison is mixed in your blood or you somehow swallow it. But if it’s on the skin, you can use healing magic. Well, there are still many things to experiment. So I’m going to bring some prisoners here for experiment," I said.

"...You really don’t care at all about human lives," Albert said.

"That’s wrong. I do care. I just don’t care about the lives of my enemies. And it’s also purely for knowledge. I want to see if their poison and antidote will be useful for medicine. Maybe instead of using skills and knowledge from my past life, I can somehow create a new method of treatment. Even if I’m a fighter, I’m still a doctor," I said.

"I see. With your skill as air mage and Aura user, you already created several new techniques for surgery and other knowledge. I guess you’re still a doctor at heart," Albert said.

That’s right. That’s what I spent almost my entire life in my past life doing. Being a doctor. I’m a true doctor. And a clown. And a fighter. And a clown. I like being a clown more than a doctor in this life so I had to say it twice.

Though I’m still a doctor so I’m curious when I see something that can help with the medical knowledge of this world. Mermaid’s poison and antidote might be useful.

If the mermaid’s antidote is useful not just for mermaid’s poison but also for all other poison, then we can use it. Maybe it could even cure other ailment or illnesses like cold, coughs, or fever.

And that is why I brought another genius doctor here. Sophie.

"You know, I don’t like human experiment at all," Sophie said.

"I know. I just want to hear your opinion on what do we need to test the antidote and poison for. Maybe to cure headache or sore throat. Just give me your opinion and I will handle the rest," I said.

"Alright. Bring me back and I will write of what I want to know about them as well," Sophie said so I brought her back to Cassau alone while the others are still here trying to get to know the mermaids.

The mermaids are still wary of them. The one who is talking is just their representative, Swift, who has the same name as my horse.

The Kings are asking them where they were before. Then it’s time to show them the island I got. Or the ship.

"That’s the island?" Lynn asked.

"More like a ship. There are metals there," I said.

As soon as I said that, Celestine jumped far and landed on the island I got before. She’s checking the island with her magic. Because her ability to manipulate earth and metal is better than any other master level earth mages.

Without any hesitation, Celestine used magic to manipulate the earth and all the soil in that island moved. Even the ones underneath. Leaving only a huge piece of metal floating on the water.

As for the trees and the plantation on the island before, they were dropped to the lake. Now it’s just a ship with a weird shape.

"That’s more like a submarine than a ship," Victoria suddenly said.

"Submarine?" I asked.

"It’s like... umm... a hip that can go underwater. You remember the place under the island before? Above that, there’s a huge room, right? Maybe it was used in the past by mages. Water mages will control the submarine and there should be an air mage if they can’t compress the air at the time they created this. From the look of it, that submarine should be old. And how there’s a place to see the outside from there, it seems like it’s like a ship to watch for enemy’s attack from underwater."

Victoria then shared all her knowledge about submarine and the possibility of its use to us. They’re all from her world. Is it really normal to know them? What a scary world.

"So if we have this, we can use water mages better than before. Although water magic is common, it’s rare for anyone to use it in a fight. And it seems like this submarine was used to scout some places underwater. It’s good that we learn about this. Even if we have Roy and other Crab People, and even the mermaids now, we still don’t have enough people to check the water. We can arrange an air mage and a water mage to work together in this small space," Albert said after he entered the submarine.

I don’t need it. I can breathe underwater and fight well there. But for military strategy, maybe there are a lot of uses for them.

The Blacksmith and even Marie are interested in the submarine. They want to make a better one. They want to make a glass window that can endure the pressure of being underwater.

"Roy, what do you think about the ocean floor?" Fabio suddenly asked.

"A lot of monsters there," I said.

"That’s not the only thing they want to know, Roy. If you’re wondering, there are a lot of beautiful things under the ocean that can’t be seen outside. It’s something that normally can’t be shared with anyone," Victoria said.

"Hmm? You mean... we’re going to use the submarine to go to the ocean floor for dating purpose?" I asked.

"Maybe there are even rare seaweeds that can be used for medicine purpose," Victoria said.

Now I’m interested. I never bother to check them when I’m diving.

"Then I’d like to stay here for a while and create my own version of submarine. Let me stay here with my apprentices so I can make them," the Blacksmith suddenly said.

"What about your granddaughter?" Albert asked.

Then we look to a certain place where Alan, Lana, Luna, and the kids, including the Blacksmith’s granddaughter, are playing.

"She enjoys playing with other kids. I think it will be fine leaving her in his care. He can even bring her here or bring me there whenever we need," the Blacksmith said as he pointed at me.

"As long as we know how useful the submarine is, then I don’t mind it. We need a lot of metal for that, right?" I asked.

Then Celestine moved outside of my kingdom and uses her magic to gather all metal in the surrounding area where she was before returning here with them.

"We have enough metal in this kingdom alone," Celestine said.

"With this much, I think I can make several submarines of that size. As for the window, I need a lot of experiment," the Blacksmith said.

I guess materials are not something we lack. And as a King of this kingdom, I’m ashamed to not know that there are so many metals to be found near my kingdom.

...Well, not really. I don’t care much about them. But it’s good that we know about it now. Celestine is just too amazing.

"So, how did you guys get that island?" I asked the mermaids.

"We just found an empty island not knowing what it was. Since we like swimming around and not just in one place, that island was a good place to stay since it’s moving around. I think we found it a few years ago," Swift said.

So we don’t know where it came from. But it’s already empty back then.

"Still, it means that someone managed to build it before. If the purpose of this submarine was to scout the ocean, then there might be another enemy we need to be wary of other than the cult. I guess we will have to discuss the importance of our marine defense because of this. Roy, thanks for discovering them. Since we’re done here, bring us to a place we can have a proper discussion," old man Henry said.

So now we have a meeting to discuss the possibility of another enemy invading any of the country here. It’s also possible that the submarine came from another continent. Should I go there someday? No, it’s too dangerous even if it was me.

We also learned something today. That metal can actually float. I think it’s mainly because of the shape and the air. So it’s not the metal that made the submarine float. But it’s something else.

We can build a ship from wood. But using them is limited because we need a certain type of wood and the length is also limited by how tall the tree is. But if we can make one from metal, we can make an even bigger ship. Then defending the ocean from enemy attack will be possible if we have a huge ship. Though there will still be a chance of the ship sinking.

Well, it’s better than nothing. I guess the discussion today benefits everyone.
