"Mr. Hua Wuming, do you want to sit in?"
"Sorry, I still have a show to watch, so just ride this way."
"Is that so? I wanted to talk to you more, but I'm sorry."
"Would you like to be Miguel's partner in my place?"
"Yes, I understand"
Olivier nodded, puffing out his cheeks disapprovingly.
"Miguel, look, I gave you a pass, take advantage of it."
After confirming that the two of them were in the cabin, I climbed onto the bridge.
"Mr. Zeol, please tell me you have luggage."
"Hahahaha, I brought the deer and wild boar from the mountains alone, it should be fine."
"This is not a problem."
"Don't bully Miguel too much."
"Injured? Impossible, this is education, isn't it?"
"Hahahaha, education, I don't think I can learn it."
"I'm not going to deny that."
The carriage left the school and headed to the north gate of the city.
"Although it's still cloudy, there's no sign of rain yet."
If you have saved money in the Adventurer's Guild, you naturally want to be able to withdraw it at will.
So, I thought of a way to move to Yilang by myself.
The idea I had that day was to use natural magic to make a floating board that could move on smooth roads, but the distance was too far.
What is needed is strength other than human strength, but horses are not enough.
On the way to Ibro, Mr. Zell showed me how to handle a horse, but frankly, the horse kept licking me.
If I bared my fangs and barked like a sheepdog, they might listen to me, but if I just yelled, they wouldn't move.
When I think about power other than horses, the idea of wind power comes to mind.
Wind magic items receive a reaction force depending on the strength of the blowing wind, so if a magic circle that can blow strong winds is made, it seems that it can be used as a power source.
I immediately solidified the air into a wind cube with celestial properties, changed the size, thickness, degree of compression, etc., and experimented with the intensity and duration of the wind.
At the same time, we also started making the frame.
At first I thought about putting wind power on a scooter, but it seemed impossible to make the power part that small, so I decided to make it a motorcycle.
This image is of a motorcycle equipped with a jet engine that challenges the world record for top speed, but reduced in size to make it look shabby.
Since we couldn't make the suspension, we put wide, bouncy tires on it to improve ride comfort.
The so-called balloon tires are also used to drive on ordinary surfaces, rather than runways created with natural magic.
When transporting deer and wild boars killed from the mountains, the vehicle will drive on a route made with natural magic to bring them in, but since Rega Village is about 60 kilometers away from Ilang, the journey is long. It is difficult.
Furthermore, if we can save mana on completing the route, we can afford mana on the bike itself.
The prototype frame is simple in shape and mainly consists of a thick tube that accommodates the wind magic array, a head tube that connects the front fork and a stay that supports the rear axle.
The tire diameter is about 20 inches, which works for my size, and the riding position is like lying face down on the main frame, so sight lines are pretty low.
“Because it’s wind-driven, there are no chains and there are no brakes.”
If an obstacle appears, I plan to use natural magic to create a route to avoid it.
I personally think it's a stupid vehicle, but it's much better than a hang glider that's flown without testing.
The wind-powered off-road bike prototype took a total of seven days from conception to production.
The basic power part is a wind magic weapon with a diameter of 20 cm and a thickness of 7 cm.
Ordinary wind-based magic weapons have magic circles engraved on the wooden boards, so they cannot be used on top of each other. However, the Rubik's Cube created with natural magic is cylindrical, and the area except for the Rubik's Cube pattern is hollow. reusable.
Theoretically, if two are stacked, the speed can reach 20 kilometers, and if three are stacked, the speed can be 30 kilometers.
What's more, because of this hollow shape, it's very efficient.
Currently, my design is such that up to five can be mounted on the bike.
“You should basically consider installing up to three until you get used to it, and then five or more once you get used to it.”
"Now that the bike is complete, there's no choice but to ride it."
I picked a sunny day and decided to give Kushiro Village a test drive.
For safety, please wear armor and helmet.
Go to the outskirts of the village, use natural magic to form a bicycle, and install wind magic tools on the frame while riding.
With a high-pitched whistling sound, the bicycle moved forward slowly.
When the bike started moving I added a magic tool and it accelerated.
It's as fast as riding a bike down a long hill, but because of the lower sightline, it feels faster than it actually is.
The balloon tires soak up bumps and bumps, so while there's no push-up feel and the ride is a little fluffy, it's not bad.
Just when I was starting to think this was a pretty good result, the tires started slipping around the corner.
"Whoa...tattoo...daha!"
The moment he veers off course and flips over, the bike disappears and he rolls across the grass, leaving behind only his full body armor.
The speed is just me stepping hard on my mamacari, so it doesn't do any harm to my body.
Although the tires were reasonably flexy, they didn't have enough grip, and without brakes we couldn't slow down enough before entering the corner.
"Sure enough, it's useless if you don't brake..."
Since we couldn't make a complicated structure, we installed a pedal that utilizes the principle of leverage, and when you step on it, the tip touches the wheel and slows it down.
Build a new bike and resume testing. The great thing about natural magic is that it can be recreated many times through trial and error.
Before the bend, we reduced the number of wind magic weapons when braking and increased the number of wind magic weapons when accelerating around the corner, but the curve was not smooth.
Basically, the wind magic weapon can only be turned on and off, and the output can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the quantity. However, since it is driven by wind, there will be a unique time lag.
If you slow down too much, it will take time to accelerate again, making your ride unstable.
As with curves, if you delay your acceleration when going uphill, your speed will drop dramatically.
On the other hand, if the timing of deceleration is delayed, the car will not be able to complete the turn and will veer off the track.
To achieve a smooth ride like a race car, more ingenuity is required.
"Even so, once the speed is reached, it is much faster than a carriage, and there is no need to please the horse."
Even when testing, we were able to reach Kiyo in about two-thirds of the shipping time.
"This time should be shortened."
Our current goal is to travel from Rega Village to Yilang at three times the speed of a horse-drawn carriage.
If you can do this, you can get to and from Ilang on a day trip and have plenty of time.
If it takes less than half a day one way, you can spend a full day exploring Ilang.
We turned around in front of Kushiro Village and returned to Atuka Village for further testing and improvements.
I passed a carriage on the way, but the driver who was holding the reins watched me go with wide eyes.
The bicycle itself, which has undergone various improvements, and the wind magic weapon are all made of natural magic, so they cannot be seen by others at all.
In fact, he was lying prone on the steering wheel, straddling the bike, with his feet on the pedals, but to others it looked like he was flying above the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
The Atuka people may be familiar with the sight of them bringing game down from the mountains in horse-drawn carriages, using routes built over the fields, but to those who know nothing about it, this may come as a surprise. No wonder. .
It would be bad if the horses were frightened and ran rampant, so when passing or overtaking the carriage, it is best to draw a route and pass from a distance.
It took me about four hours to use magic from Rega Village to Kushiro Village and back, but the magic was still enough.
With this feeling, it seems that there is no problem in continuing to ride for a whole day, and it will also be good to go on long-distance travel in the future.
