Captain Pol and his crew were astonished, the ship that was a few kilometers away from then is already in front of them, it only took a few minutes before they are in their current locations.

"There really isn't any sails, this is just ridicolous!" He said.

A while before, Captain Pol prepared their magi-cannons that he bought all the way to Ainhart Empire, a piece of these cost him more than 100 gold coins, normally, this type of cannon is not for sale to the citizens or merchants, he just used his connections to get one, it has a range of 300 meters, exceeding a normal magi-cannon that has only a range of 250 meters, he was supposed to shoot his cannon on the approaching ship, however, a man aboard waving his hands who seems signals that they mean no harm, so he stopped.

However as the ship approached, he saw it much now much clearer, "No way...is that ship made out of forge iron?".

His crew looked at him, "No way, that ship is over 100 meters in length and at least 12 meters wide, plus i haven't heard of any ship that is made of iron, just imagine the mass of a ship like that!".

Crews of the ship agreed, while talking, the strange ship is now on their side, the crew observe the ship closer, as crew pound his hand on the strange ship, he regretted it when he hit it, a *Clank sound was heard, their eyes widened, it was indeed iron, everyone was bewildered.

"Impossible! Such existence, this must be made by hundreds of master forgemen and at least a half century to make!".

Captain Pol cought, his crew glanced to him and steps back from the ship, he was reluctant as to how to approach the people aboard of the iron ship, he thought that they might be some kind of nobles or big shots from the south continent, he heared before that in the south continent, there are iron ships as well, though he heared that they are only 15 to 25 meters in length, the ship beside his galleon surpassed it.

He then spoke to the people aboard the iron ship, "I'm Captain Pol, may i ask who are you people!?".

Captain Pol then saw a man showed himself on the bow of the ship wearing an expensive looking grey pair of coat, trouser, a long black boots and a black bowler cap, then multiple figures who up who wore the same pair of clothing as well, he thought that their are some kind of military generals, then some other people showed up, wore red coats and dark trouser.

" They looked important, perhaps he is the captain  " he thought, then the man gestures for him to aboard the iron ship, at first Captain Pol was hesitant, but his curiosity get over him, he then ordered his men to get the ladder.

His crews looked worried, "Captain, are you sure about that? They are suspiscious, it seems they can't speak Nortian language".

Captain Pol shook his head, "Can't you see what those peole wore?" He pointed at the strange people, "If you look at it carefully, it's a kind of clothes that only wealthy person wear, not to mention that details of the design amd the quality of fabric used for it, it we're lucky, we might owe us some favor!".

The crews was amazed by their captain, "As expected of you Captain, to be able to keep your calm and be smart at situation like this!".

Captain Pol grinned, "That's nothing, now prepare the ladder for me to climb".

His crew immidiately prepared the ladder and hugged it to the side of the iron ship, the persons aboard the ship gave Captain Pol as hand, when he got aboard, a man stood in front of reach his hand.

Captain Pol shaked the man's hand and introduced himself, "I'm Captain Pol G'aar, a merchant, may i know who are you gentlemen?".

The man in front of him was shocked, Captain Pol thought he did something wrong, the man then spoke to him.

"Nice to meet you, Captain Pol, I am Hans Schrein, a merchant as well, you see we are headed towards the nearest land, it's my first to head east, can you perhaps give us some information? In return i can sell you some of my merchandise with a discount of course".

Captain Pol glanced at the cargos on the deck, he was certain that the goods inside the cargos will fetch high price, even the cargo boxes looks well crafted.

Captain Pol grined, "I see, if that's only then there 's no problem, this might be take some time though, are you fine with it?".

Hans replied, "Not at all, informations about places where like us merchants headed to is important".

"I agree, then let's start with the places and trading routes".

The sea they currently are in called the 'east pass' where several ships travel to Sol, a territory of the Grand Lars Imperium, Sol was most likely got abandoned, due to the long distance between it and the mainland, Sol also have no geographical importance to the imperium, its only income came from slavery, various slaves are delivered in the territory, those are the slaves who neither got captured by the bandits or unable to pay debts and much more.

In the South of Sol, is the territory of Sohr under the N'Deit Kingdom, this place also is a dissappointment to the N'Deit, many lives was taken when they explored the island, many said that the island have many magic stones, however when they came to the island, the explorers got massacred by magical beasts and monsters instead, it was also confirmed that there weren't any magic stones in the island.

In the east, located betweem the north and south continent is the N'Deit Kingdom, various merchants all over the north and south gathered in the kingdom to trade, the kingdom's wealth came from trade, due to its good location, it was called as the merchant's hub, the kingdom gains so much money from the trades, it's almost depend on trades for income.

In the north are; Alfrein Kingdom, Grand Lars Imperium, Ester Kingdom, Al Freed Kingdom and the Freed Republic, Alfrein and the imperium have a sour relation, while the Freed Kingdom and Republic are hostile to each other, in the south are the Fredericana Holy Kingdom, Daxhton Kingdom, Panxtonh Kingdom, Lubert Beastdom and the super power Ainhard Empire.

"That's the only information i know so far, i don't really travel to the south, there only a small amount of good here from north that the southern nations buy" he said.

Hans write down the infos Captain Pol spoken, "I see, thank you for the informations Captain Pol".

Captain Pol smiled, "You're welcome, so as promised, can you show me what type goods you will sell to me?.

Hans chuckled, "Of course, Captain Pol, please follow me".

Captain Pol and Hans walked towards a cargo box, Han's crew grab it and placed on a wide enough area, the crew opened the carton box with a knife, then took out the products inside.

Captain Pol looked and analyze the merchandise, he then asked a question, "What is this white thing? It smells good, is this perhaps oil?".

Hans shooked his head, "No, that's soap, used for remove germs and bacteria when bathing".

Captain Pol was puzzled, "Je-rmz? Bak-tiriya? What's that?".

"Basically, soap cleanse your body by removing dirt and bad odor from your body while bathing".

Captain Pol was astonished, "Impressive, such simple yet unique product, not to mention it smells good unlike that of oil soap, for sure this will fetch more than 15-no 20 silver!".

Hans grinned, "I see, then want to look for some more of my merchandise?".

Captain Pol nodded, "Sure!".

 Captain Pol as well as his friend have a wide smile on their faces, the product Mr. Hans sold to him and his friends were 1st class items or even more! He bought ten boxes of soap with 30 pieces a box, four boxes of white and smooth papers, unlike the papers he uses, this papers are much more easier to write and thin, he also bought a single box of 'pen', a dozen crates of delicious fruit he wasn't seen nor tasted before, two bundles of smooth and comfortable fabric, two large crates of spices and the most expensive looking so far, three armour sets that was made out of 'star ore', and 3 'steel' short and long swords and two katana made of 'luna ore' that can slice a person like cake, he didn't believe at first, but when Hans sliced a single set of armour he's eyes almost popped out.

Captain Pol cost him 3,500 gold coins for the merchandise he bought, however he already estimated its price, it should fetch more than 12,000 gold coins or 12 platinum coins, Captain Pol was overjoyed, its a win-win situation for him.

He ask Mr. Hans as to where did he get precious items like these, he said it all came from his country the New Terra, located in the west just 2-3 weeks away from Sol, at first Captain Pol was suspiscious, but the eyes of Mr. Hans looks confident and seems does not lying, Captain Pol became a merchant for more than 30 years now, so based on his experice, Mr. Hans was not lying.

He holds the katana and admired it, Captain Pol decided that he won't sell this god-crafted sword.

"New Terra huh, first time heard of it, if it really is just over these rocky islands, then it worth a try" he said.

MV York

SO. Lieutenant Hans Schrein transmitted the information about the success with the first contact of the natives and critical information he got from just a single merchant in exchange for cheap products, what surprise him the most the language, the merchant named Captain Pol G'aar just communicated to him with english, however the way his tongue and lips move aren't the proper movements when speaking english, as if there's an invisible translation somewhere, he gestured to his men to look for any suspiscious aboard the galleon, but were none except from some slaves.

<<I see, we still don't understand the law and logic of this planet, perhaps this is somekind of a supernatural phenomenon, anyway, continue your objective, we got plenty of intelligence for now but it won't be enough, good job today lieutenant>>

The transmission ended, Hans sat in his chair and pondered, "This world is a mystery, magic that break the laws of science, floating ships without propellers nor jet engines, and a fucking auto translator in the middle of nowhere".

One of his men entered his room, "Lieutenant Hans, we will reach 'Sol' in ten minutes, Captain Pol said that they will help us to introduce to the natives".

Hans nodded, "Copy that, i'll be outside later".

"Understood Lieutenant".

Pellè Port Town, Sol Territory

Dock Master Ulbert S'aar sat on a bench facing the sea in the port, there isn't a single ship docking in the port for two weeks now, though it is really rare for ships to dock here, the rumors about the behemoth alledgy spotted in the sea makes everything worse, he's the only one who supports his family, his wife as well as his two daughters are sick, his income from the port barely feeds his family, they also need medication, he wanted to buy a healing potion however a single recovery potion costs two golds for the lowest quality, hiring a priest is also impossible, he remembered his co-worker who got tricked by a priest when the priest healed his sick son, the priest charged him ten gold coins, unable to pay the priest, he was reported to the local lord and got jailed, his son, as well his wife and one daughter became the priest's slaves, it was reported that his wife and daughter got raped countless times, meanwhile his son got beaten and sold off.

Ulbert sighed, he only earn 4 silver a month, if this keeps on going, his wife and sick daughters will be forever gone from him.

 "Damn our shitty emperor, abandoning a whole territory because of its uselessness..." he muttered.

He then looked on the horizon of the rising sun, he saw small dots, Ulbert immidiately took his damaged spyglass, he then saw three-no four, four ships!

Dock Master Ulbert was overjoyed causing some of his tears to shed, he then immidiately prepares the ropes for the ships.
