Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (53)
Francis, who came the next day, explained in more detail about the sea areas he was unfamiliar with.
The Atlantis Maritime Union’s method of dividing sea areas, which was updated on a semi-annual basis, was very simple, yet complex. It is not determined by risk alone.
“There is not much difference between Sea Area 2 and Sea Area 3. “It’s about determining whether high-risk monsters can appear or not.”
The second sea area, ‘Notos’, was basically a fishing area.
Hunt marine monsters that emerge from the sea and collect expensive marine products. There are fish that take up a whole boat if you catch just one, and you can basically get a few gold coins if you sell them on land, so it’s not a bad way to make money.
The species level of the monsters that appeared was only E-rank to D-rank, or C-rank at the highest. The amount of money gained by catching fish was greater than the amount of spiritual stones obtained by catching monsters.
This is the activity area of newbies who have just founded an adventure group in Atlantis.
“From the third sea area, ‘Euros’, the only fish species are monsters, and everything from medium-quality spirit stones to their meat and bones are sold at high prices. “If you have enough skills, you can earn several times more than in the second sea.”
“The risk will also increase several times.”
“Of course!” “It may only happen once every few decades, but adventurers who encounter serpents and die unexpectedly often appear, right?”
Sea Serpent.
Its birth grade was recorded as S rank, and it was one of the top three giant sea monsters.
Even larvae that are only at level 1 cannot handle the level of external power on the sea, and from level 2 onwards, even transcendental power is a monster that requires risking one’s life. If he breaks through to level 3, he will need a national subjugation order.
Nevertheless, human desires are endless, and it is said that there are many adventure groups that wander around the Third Sea for decades or more.
“The 4th sea area, ‘Zephyros’, becomes the proper activity area for the adventure group. From here, you can find marine resources, not fish, and sell the locations or collect and distribute them yourself!”
Francis said, “Ahem,” and opened his chest.
Because her ‘Aquamarine’ also had the right to explore up to Zephyrus. This was a right granted only to adventurers who had not only skills but also experience.
Leonard nodded once and asked again.
“How is the risk compared to the third sea area?”
“There is no difference. but! “There are a lot of things to fight against the monsters that occupy the marine resources, so large-scale battles occur.”
While the monsters in the third sea area are a minority who do not know where they will pop out, the monsters in the fourth sea area are the majority camped out in a fixed location.
Although unexpected situations occurred more frequently in the 3rd sea area, the 4th sea area was several levels higher in attack difficulty. Unlike the 3rd sea area, which ended in a few casualties and property damage even if it failed, most failures in the 4th sea area led to total destruction.
Therefore, operating in the 4th Sea Area was tantamount to proving that we had never failed before.
“And the fifth sea area, ‘Aiolos’… .”
Francis’ bright and cheerful voice quieted down for a moment,
“This is the sea area that my adventure group is aiming to advance into! Only the top, or rather the highest, adventurers are given permits to operate in Aiolos, right? “New permits are rarely issued, so you have to fight for permits from other adventure groups!”
I finished my explanation in a voice that sounded like it was elaborately made up.
Leonard realized that there was something hidden in what she said, but he didn’t probe it further.
The relationship between the two was not that close, and if it got that far, it would be impossible to escape Francis’ personal circumstances.
The atmosphere in the cabin changed for a moment but became awkward.
“… “What about Sea Area 6?”
When he spoke first out of consideration rather than consideration, Francis responded quickly as if he had been waiting for his words.
“There is no separate name for Sea Area 6! None of the adventurers who entered there returned. “It is an unidentified area and a non-refundable area, and is simply referred to as the 6th Sea Area.”
Naturally, no exploration attempts were made, and it was the area where adventurers exploring Sea Area 5 had to be most careful.
If you accidentally take a few steps into the sea, not even a corpse can escape.
Leonard felt a strange sense of déjà vu at that expression.
“It sounds similar to

“That’s accurate. The

“that… .”
Francis was trying to answer that question with an embarrassed expression,
“——Miss, you have entered the dock’s communication area.”
“oh! sorry. “I’ll wake up now!”
The conversation was suddenly interrupted by Marian’s voice calling from outside the cabin.
Francis looked back at Leonard and asked.
“Leonard, would you like to come with me? “I have to come out of this room soon.”
“great.”
“My name too!”
“I understand, Fran.”
Francis smiled and left the cabin, and Marian, who had been waiting outside, moved out of the way.
But when Leonard followed her, she looked at him with a puzzled expression. It seems that Marian could not hear the conversation inside her cabin.
“Why are you coming out?”
Leonard responded to the question calmly.
“This is Fran’s request.”
“miss?”
“There’s no point in hiding it any longer, right? “Everyone has no choice but to see it when they land at the dock, and Leonard must have been frustrated too!”

There was some truth to what Francis said. Marianne let out a long sigh and stood side by side with Leonard.
So it seemed as if Francis’s escort had been doubled.
She looked behind me and spoke in an arrogant manner.
“I felt a little empty because there was only one Marianne, but now I feel like a big person! After all, there should be two guards!”
“You couldn’t possibly bring him out for that reason, right? miss? “Please answer clearly.”
“Come on, let’s go to the wheelhouse! “If you keep them waiting too long, the dock’s attitude will get worse!”
“Baby!”
With the two people’s routine bickering in one ear, Leonard looked into the interior of the ship, which he had not been able to see for the past few days.
Starting from the material of the wood that makes up the pillars and plates, to the shape and assembly method, there seemed to be almost no similarity to the Jungwon one.
It appears that propulsion is gained in a way other than oars, as there appears to be no space for the oarsmen to reside.
‘Is it magic? Or with a power source I don’t know about?’
As they watched and walked around like that, before they knew it, the three of them had come up to the deck of the ship, climbed up a few more stairs, and were in the wheelhouse.
A few people crossing the street were surprised to see Leonard, but when they saw Francis and Marian accompanying them, they only nodded once.
It seemed like he was accepted as a VIP or something similar.
“her.”
Entering the wheelhouse, Leonard unconsciously looked around at the open space in all directions and was impressed.
It had to be that way.
This is because not only were there a lot of devices whose functions you could not guess, but the scenery of the ocean stretching out front, back, left, and right was such a spectacular sight that one could not help but admire it.
‘The walls on all four sides were replaced with glass so as not to block the view. This is my first time on such a luxurious ship.’
I knew that the value of glass in this world was lower than that of Jungwon, but meeting new cultures was always surprising.
It was then.
{This is the headquarters of the first-arrival inspection team in Oreichalcos, Sea Area 1. Unidentified ships are to reply to this communication immediately. If there is no reply within 5 minutes, or if you approach longer than that, coastal artillery will be fired.}
A bleak voice came from the crystal ball installed in the center seat of the wheelhouse, which at first glance appeared to be the seat of the highest class.
Sure enough, Francis said as he sat down.
“Huh, you’re quick-tempered! Marian? “Let’s connect.”
“All right.”
When Marian reached out and manipulated something as instructed, the light in the gray crystal ball changed to blue and the sound quality changed.
“Ah, ah, can you hear my voice?”
The answer to Francis’ question came back from the crystal ball.
{Unidentified vessel, please refrain from unnecessary words. Please present the vessel registration number or adventure group registration number.}
“Adventure group registration number B-007, Aquamarine.”
{… What is the password set for that number?}
“A ship is safest when in port, but that is not what ships are for.”
{Confirmed, B-007 Aquamarine. Anchoring at dock 37 is permitted. Is the period of stay the same as before?}
“yes.”
{Welcome back to Atlantis.}
After that dry welcome, the light in the crystal sphere faded and turned back to opaque gray.
It appeared to be an artifact in charge of communication with the dock.
Francis groaned and stretched.
“Ah, you’re saying it’s annoying to say the same thing every time? “If they just hear my voice, they should let me pass right away.”
“That’s called dereliction of duty, miss.”
“I heard that they will just send A-grade adventurers away, but I will raise their grade later to check and if it is true, I will stab them all.”
If I had heard it at the first-arrival inspection station, I would have been shocked.
The two people seemed to have not meant their words so sincerely, and soon they changed the topic of the conversation and chatted with Leonard.
While not neglecting their words, Leonard was surprised by the sight of Atlantis rapidly approaching and the majesty of the large ships passing by.
The ‘Aquamarine’ was also a large ship by his standards, and there were quite a few sailing ships so large that they made it look like a child.
Was that sentiment revealed on his face?
“Leonard! You thought my stomach was small now, right? Yes?!”
“… “I think those are too big.”
Leonard took a half step back at Francis’ sharp words.
However, she was not convinced by those words and shouted.
“In the first place, anything with a sail means that it is a third-rate adventure group or fishing boat without magical engineering! Look at the ships without sails or oars! “There are few ships bigger than the Aquamarine!”
“Ah,” Leonard was convinced, and his eyes twinkled.
Magic engineering.
Because I felt that that word was the core of the structure that moves this mysterious ship. Leonard, who looked around and understood that she meant what she said, immediately apologized.
“My knowledge was short. “I’m sorry, Fran.”
“Ha, if I apologize like that, it makes me look like a child, right? I’m sorry for raising my voice. “I get a little excited whenever the topic of boats comes up.”
As their trivial argument was coming to an end, the Aquamarine stopped at a dock with number 37 written on it.
As soon as the ship enters, the dock’s shielding structure moves, securing the inside and outside of the ship to a degree that allows landing or boarding without dropping the anchor.
There was definitely some magical phenomenon involved.
“Now, Marian and Leonard, get off with me first. The crew will take care of cleaning up after you!”
Francis said, getting up from his chair.
The two followed her as they had when they came to the wheelhouse, went down to the deck again, and entered the dock of wharf number 37 using the simple stairs installed next to it.
The central city of Atlantis.
The city that could be said to be the heart and everything of the Maritime Union welcomed Leonard.
‘I’m sorry about the South Sea inspection, but there’s no comparison.’
Expectations are greatly inflated by the appearance of Atlantis, which is not only exotic but almost like a new world.

“what! “I asked who it was, and it turned out that it was the princess who ran away from home!”
Someone’s frivolous voice came from somewhere, shattering his sentimental mood.
