Chapter 797 – 788 the Port City of Niamad
The day after Hwanyeon wiped out the monsters in the sea.
The lord of Niamad used his forces as if determined to destroy his two noble families.
The commander of the knights, who reached the 7th grade, directly leads a fully armed army, while those who appear to be nobles are captured and sent away, and in the meantime, those of the noble families who resist are ruthlessly suppressed.
Although rumors are circulating that he is paying the price for his terrible and serious crime, the residents are trembling with anxiety and fear.
Yesterday, hundreds of people from Niamad’s native rogue gang were massacred by an unknown person, and last night, a strange phenomenon occurred offshore.
Today at noon, the sanctuary tower is not activated, and even noble families that have been fine for hundreds of years are being robbed.
The successive events in Niamad, which had been peaceful for hundreds of years, were enough to make the residents tremble with anxiety.
When the uneasiness of the city residents reached its peak, the proclamation man began to shout at the top of his voice as he roamed the city.
=… Two families! Blinded by financial gain! To the Sanctuary Tower, Niamad’s lifeline and lifeline! I committed infidelity!! The reason why a new life is not born well aaa!! I was in the sanctuary tower, so… !!=
While the proclamator was exposing the aristocratic family’s crimes, the church began to move along with the lord’s troops.
Life and tolerance are like the banner of the Church of the Earth God.
Because a mere human objected to it, the clergy of the church got their eyes wide open and started robbing nobles related to the Sanctuary Tower as if they were catching heretics.
Isha = Ayoung said as she rode the wagon with Baron Riche to the port and saw soldiers and church clergy flocking around.
= Now that the church is attached, the lord will move even more vigorously. =
=Doryeong, is that also the work of the lord?=
“Okay.”
No matter how much he is the lord of the city, he cannot recklessly punish or dismiss his subordinate nobles.
If the vassals under his command, who sensed the atmosphere of tension, agreed, even the lord would be nervous.
If the hound that had to enter the cauldron said that it might be the next one, it would be obvious that the nobles would bite the lord like a cornered rat.
Aside from the work of the nobles, the residents of the city let out a sigh of despair.
=Then is the Sanctuary Tower not in operation? I can’t live…=
=Should I move to another city?=
= This person. Do you think it will be different from here in another city? It’s all the same in people’s lives.=
= Right. Thanks to the Sanctuary Tower, I’ve had a good life so far, but the threat of monsters in other places is the same.
=But if the labyrinth explodes, doesn’t everyone die?=
= It was said that it almost exploded, but it did not mean that it would explode. =
= I see…=
There is nowhere to run. At least, since this is a city, it has a defensive function, and it is common people’s perception that it is not strange if a village or village dies at any time.
People who live in villages don’t know how tough their situation is. However, the villagers understand how bad life in the village is.
However, in the eyes of city people, it is a village or a village or something.
Both of them are not suitable for people to live.
As a result, complaints naturally erupted.
=By the way, even the nobles are doing it too much. It looks like the monsters will attack at any moment, so come up with some countermeasures…=
= Ha! Where would nobles think of us common people?=
= Right. There is a saying that the person who wiped out the fire fists yesterday was not a nobleman, but a hero who hid his identity.=
= Hero? Aren’t you Seongjae? He is said to have appeared in the city of El Widris, but maybe…=
=If Seongje-nim had come, rumors would have already spread throughout the city, but that’s not the case.=
= Yes, yes… Damn, how nice it would be if I looked like Seongje-nim.=
=Hey, watch your mouth,=
=It’s okay because there is no given.=
Arriving at the port and getting off the wagon, I hear the fishermen who haven’t gone fishing because of the aftermath of last night gathering and whispering.
For a while too. The fishermen who glanced sideways, stopped the conversation, and quietly dispersed, mending their nets or fixing their fishing rods.
From their reactions, you can feel the anxiety of the city residents soaring to the top of their heads.
If it was Earth, it would have tried to convey the anxiety felt by its citizens through riots or rallies, but the city of Nionebreth is more like a despotism.
All they can do is gather like that and gossip.
In Radsea, there is something like the last card that the residents have, so if the barons are violent, they rise up and leave the city, but the residents of Merianol don’t seem to have that much sense of freedom and wandering.
= Hwanin? This is =
Follow her to her guide of Isha and you’ll come to a tidy pier different from the one where her fishermen gathered, from her bottom pavement.
Whether it’s a port dedicated to nobles or not, the various ships that are anchored do not have the characteristic corrosion and weathering of ships that have sailed for a long time.
Even the dyes were painted just as vividly colored as they had been.
The white two-masted caravel that stood out among the red, orange, and green high-end ships was Isha’s favorite Regina.
Seeing this, Anne admired a little.
=Your stomach looks very elegant.=
From the bow to the stern, the white hull boasting a perfect curve like a woman’s slender thighs, which seems to be 50m long, and the two masts rolled around the bow statue carved with a horned whale.
The women whispered that it looked like new, so that it was hard to believe that it had been ridden for years.
= You can feel the phase force throughout the ship? Did you set up preservation and maintenance secrets?=
=Yes. We put a secret technique to keep the balance between flood prevention, anti-abrasion, and corrosion prevention. As long as you charge enough phase power, the ship won’t capsize even in a storm.=
“Really? Can I shake it?”
At Isha’s assertion, Norn, who was examining her belly, tried to blow up the wind, but was held back by Isilite and stopped.
= You can’t shake it. There’s another boat right next to it.=
“Okay~.”
=It looks like the footrest is inside the boat. Wait a minute.=
Anne, who climbs into the boat first because she has no footstool, pushes her footstool and connects her to the pier.
Ayoung and Baek Ryeo-gang, who climbed onto the deck and inspected the ship, twinkled their eyes.
=Wow, there is no moss and I can’t feel the salt at all.=
=Really… My family also had a personal ship, but I never thought of making one like this.=
While the women were examining the ship, Hwan-in entered the captain’s room at the rear with Isha and put her hand on the orb, which could be said to be the heart of the Rijina, and transferred her ownership.
Yurpa, who placed her hand on a transparent crystal ball the size of a child’s head and confirmed the type of secret technique, was amazed.
= Mast regeneration, flooding and corrosion protection, anti-wear, self-balancing, ship strengthening, paint maintenance are at stake. You’ve got a really good balance between volume and magic. If the ship was small, it would have been difficult to navigate the ocean, and if the ship was large, the phase power would have been enormous to maintain the secret arts.=
=The occultist guild leader assured me that if you have the phase power of a 2nd class magician, you can live on a ship for the rest of your life.=
= It seems that the head of the union gave it directly. =
Besides that, the ship was full of magic tools.
A bucket that automatically purifies into drinking water when it is filled with seawater, a brush that gradually regenerates damaged parts, or a brush that cleans away moss and salt from the rubbed area.
After transferring the ownership, I went down to the dock, and there were 6 rooms, a restaurant, a bathroom, a bathroom, and a storage room centered on a one-way corridor.
Isha led her phantom to the storage room behind the stairs behind her and showed her what was inside.
=The biggest box here is a subspace storage box. It’s stocked with spare sails, anchors and other repair materials. I’ve never written one, but I don’t know if Hwanin-nim will one day… All, other boxes have preservation secrets, so you can store food or ingredients.=
The bathroom was next to the shed, and inside were two half-skinned slimes.
When Baeknyeogang sprinkles water on it, it immediately comes back to life and begins to procrastinate.
On the player’s side, there was a U-shaped table that could seat about 10 people and a kitchen where food could be cooked.
There were seven rooms between the bow and the stern, six of which were the size of a studio, but one was as large as the other two combined.
Looking at the interior design of the large room, I could tell that it was Isha’s room.
Unlike other rooms where the primary color of ordinary wood is exposed, the room, which was plastered in white, in many ways had the feeling of being a woman’s room, such as lace or curtains.
Looking into the next room connected to the big room, Ah-young floats round.
= The next room is a bathroom. So, are there five rooms left?=
=The big room can be used by Doryeong and the three rooms can be shared by three of us. The remaining two are the luggage storage room and Cheol Young-soo’s use.=
= How do you guys do it? There are five of them, including Kurti, Kuffin, Kura, Jelfrey, and Shilu.
= I will make the children small. You can put them in the luggage storage room.=
At Yu Lepa’s story, Anne brushed her hair beside her and smiled at her women.
= We have also grown a lot. Doryeong, Dew, me and Yul, unni, Hwanyeon, Bell, Norn, Ayoung, Auntie, Cheolyoungsoo, Queue…=
Hwan In-do, who was looking around the entire room, smiled a little.
“When I fell into the forest labyrinth, I was worried about survival right away, but before I knew it, it became a large group.”
=My brother was worried about survival… I can’t quite imagine it?=
“I can’t imagine. Hwanin hasn’t changed much between then and now.”
The women widen their eyes at the story of Norn, who was hanging from Hwanin’s side.
=It’s been 5 years, do you still remember what happened back then?=
“I remember! While Isilite was chaste to Hwanin, she tasted the flesh… Oops! Town!”
= You, you… ! If I say more, I’m sure there won’t be this evening!=
= Dew is also true. It’s a story that everyone knows even if you don’t say it, but why are you so shy?
=When you were a muscle gorilla, you would get angry if you talked about your work!=
=… Oh, I won’t!=
=Because I don’t believe in my stutter?!=
“Kuk-ku.”
Hwan-in giggled at the two of them wrestling for the first time in a while, and Isilite and Anne glanced at each other, striking and prodding with her elbows.
As she watched the harmonious and friendly appearance of the women around her Hwanin, Isha felt that she was about to burst into tears, so the tips of her eyebrows trembled.
Why do I feel this way? No… The reason is clear.
She fell in love with the traveler, but before she could express her feelings, she realized that she was not the right person for her. Plus the bad things she tried to do to him.
That place beyond the slightly blurry vision looks warm and cozy, but this side where I am confident is gray and cold and lonely.
I had a family that was so warm and full of laughter… He has no family and is all alone.
For the first time in his life, a man he fell in love with appears, but when he realizes that he is someone he cannot dare to be with, the loneliness and desolation strike him even more.
Isha knew instinctively.
For her sin of falling in love with the unrequited, she will live alone for the rest of her life.
Since you must know the family, you will find a man who will receive the seed, but you will not know her true love…
Isha said to her Hwanin with her smile on her face that she hurriedly wiped away her tears when she saw the gaze of the white river staring at her.
=Well, then the guide is over, so I will go back now. I promise to take Hwanin’s true identity to the grave.
“You don’t have to do that. Two weeks after I leave will be enough. At that time, if I treat my story like seasoning, it will at least help to some extent to raise the upper ranks.”
Seeing the tear marks left on her eyes, Hwanin noticed her heart, but pretended not to know and caressed her cheek.
It was the place where he put his slap on.
“I apologize for slapping you on the cheek then. It was to hide his identity, but it was too much.”
Unlike that time when she was stinging, Isha’s eyes trembled at the kind warmth she felt on her cheek.
No no… I’d rather hit and curse at me, if you treat me kindly like this, I, I… !
= Oh, oh… No… I’m… Sorry!=
Stuttering and weeping, Isha lowered her head and slipped out of her stomach as if to run away.
The women who were looking at her from the back opened their eyes and looked at Hwanin.
When Hwanin made a trembling expression at the indescribable strange look in his eyes, Anne suddenly threw her words.
= I’m bewitched again, I’m bewitched again. Because he’s a really bad guy.=
= That’s right. He doesn’t give his brother’s heart, but steals all the hearts of women he meets.
= But come on… Do you love me? =
“Be quiet. Isilite, how far have you prepared for the voyage?”
=We have secured enough food for three months. I didn’t know there was a drinking water filter, so I prepared drinking water, but if I cut the drinking water in half, I can secure up to four months’ supply.=
“That was enough. Since there is a Hwanyeon with Baekryeo River, you can catch seafood for every meal and add it to the dish.”
=Yes.=
After that, the party moved busily to depart.
Yurupa and Baekryeogang put Que on the boat and used a miniaturization technique, and Anne and Imorel removed the wheel of the carriage and inserted it into the vacant carriage compartment at the rear of the boat, next to the captain’s office, and fixed it firmly so that it would not be shaken by the waves.
Issilite looked at the dining room and warehouse to distribute food, while Kim Cheol-soo and Kim Young-soo diligently carried their luggage to the dock room.
While everyone was working hard, Hwanin summoned the soul of a female Flavian single-winged sailor from the deck.
“I will use this boat. How long will it take to figure out the structure of the ship?”
“This is a caravel for nobles to enjoy. I am familiar with it because I was hired by a nobleman and steered a cruise ship like this a few times. We can set sail right away.”
“How many crew do you need?”
“The advantage of a cruise ship like this is that it costs money and requires a small number of crew members. One helmsman, two to sail, and one to watch from the watchtower—four people are enough.”
In response to her story, Hwanin made eight of her knightly souls into heroic spirits and attached them to her.
It would be enough to drive a boat for two days to master it and then work shifts.
As the female sailor soul took the knight souls and prepared to set sail, Norn started running around the deck with her shrunk to the size of a medium-sized dog.
The women who have finished tidying up also come up to the deck and walk around, feeling a strange sense of anticipation in their movements.
Although they have been on a boat a few times, it is the first experience of saving their own boat and going out to sea.
Hwanin, who was looking down at the figure near the helm of the aft quarter deck, saw Yurpa approaching and gave his gaze.
She glanced at the sanctuary tower, which was clearly visible even from the port, and spoke to Hwanin.
=Darling, while I was resting, did I think about how to improve the sanctuary tower? According to the blueprints and drawings, the impact on people can be reduced to a minimum…=
“… Hmm. I don’t think it’s very good to tell them.”
=Is it so?=
“The Church of the Land Gods is aware of the problems with the Sanctuary Tower and has begun. Even if you step out at a time like this, if it goes well, you’ll make a profit, and if it doesn’t, you’re likely to be criticized.”
= Yes, yes. Ok~.=
Understanding what he meant, Yurpa erased anything about the tower of her sanctuary from her mind.
Hwanin didn’t mention it any more after that.
She would have cared if there was a woman in Niamad who mixed herself with her body, but she is neither of those things. Wouldn’t it be better not to go out and do something bad?
Hwanin nodded her head when the spirit of a female sailor approached and asked if it would be okay to set sail.
“Then let’s set sail! Raise the anchor!!”
At the cry of the female sailor’s spirit, a knight’s spirit runs and pulls up the anchor.
Originally, at this time, the port manager should come out on a boat and pull the boat a little.
If it is a port where the current is circulating or a place with good wind, if you raise the sail and move the steering wheel appropriately and wait, it will come out on its own, but Niamad is not like that.
However, the Regina was manipulated by her phantasmagoria and easily exited her dock and began to exit the Bay of Niamad.
“Lower the sails!!”
Charrrr
As the current surged in earnest, the soul of a female sailor shouted and the fore mast and main mast spread wide.
The mid-level wind spirit summoned by the fantasy began to play near the sail, causing the sail to expand and the ship tossing back and forth.
“Wow~! Motion sickness creeps in! Uhhhhh…”
“Enough with motion sickness… Guess.”
They only bounced back and forth a few times, but Kim Cheol-soo and Kim Young-soo struggled and clung to the railing and started vomiting.
Meanwhile, the Regina continued to ride the wind, and her ship’s speed quickly rose to near maximum.
= Doryeong. Look back =
Hwanin, who was watching all of this from the quarter deck, looked back at Anne’s story for a moment.
His vision came to see that several nobles, including Lord Carlsburn and Lady Ascal, were out at the port.
The faces of the nobles with a mixture of a slightly disappointed expression and a regretful expression.
Hwanin, who was not even interested in their situation, turned his gaze to the front and answered.
“Nothing to worry about.”
It seems that they tried to establish a relationship somehow using the punishment of the nobles as an excuse, but they probably didn’t know that this side would sail so quickly like roasting beans with lightning.
However, there is no more revealing of this side’s true identity. There will be no humans trying to track this side, and the destination is now in front of us.
Further inmaek is useless and unnecessary.
The spirit of the female sailor shouted in an exultant voice as the wind swept out of Niamad’s Bay in an instant.
“The destination is 200 km offshore east of the capital Passage! Regina, departing!!”
“…”
On the boat, which was plunging through the waves, Hwanin took out the yellow brooch he had received from Geod, the god of the earth.
The brooch that catches sunlight and shines like the sun is full of Geode’s energy. How does this bring Adnevila to her senses?
‘I’ll find out when I meet Adneville in a few days.’
Hwanin fiddled with the brooch and brushed his hair that was blowing in the sea breeze.
