Chapter 226 – Orihalcon (12)
【Ruler!! Goes in three One, two, three!】
【Kkeungcha!!】
As I passed the corridor, I saw the sailors carrying a large piece of metal.
It did something, but it seemed to be a water flow control device covered with iron. It must have been stolen from a pirate ship.
Water flow control device.
It is a different world version engine connected to the ship’s steering wheel.
It was a magic tool that made the wooden sailboat move as fast as the earth ship. They said they picked it up before the pirates scoured it.
‘Well, to put it bluntly, the pirate ship with that control device would have been more expensive.’
Still, it’s been a long time since Ursilla coolly put her in the water. It was a meaningless assumption.
Is it because I saw that even a sleazy sports car throws away a piece of gold that shouldn’t be a jab? I didn’t think Ursilla would betray us for money, no matter what treasures the Prophet’s Isle holds.
Of course, I’m preparing for a blow, but it would be a waste of time to doubt that exhilarating idiot femme.
‘Because the longer a person eats a knife, the less obsessed he is with money.’
I also noticed after running on the field for the past three months, but it was rare for people who succeeded in eating knives in another world to be stubborn with money.
Of course, at first glance, it may sound like a normal thing.
If you succeed, of course you will have a lot of money, and if you are rich, there will be no reason to be obsessed with money.
‘But I’m thinking of doing a fucking dirty spoon.’
If you have a lot of money, do you lose interest in money?
A voice that doesn’t know the world. You show ignorance of capitalism. Just like Kang Buk-ho, who stood in favor of the trickle-down effect in an English debate contest and then got beaten up by the opponents with his logic.
At that time, Sipal knew that the supporters would have an advantage. Give me back my gold medal
Like this, human greed has no fucking limit. It was human nature that a millionaire on a yacht worth 1 billion won would envy a billionaire buying a cruise ship worth 2 trillion won.
A successful businessman in a free competitive society is a man who exploits dirt spoons even if he has 200 tons of gold in his house.
What is different about this world? There were many money-crazed bastards like the real quackery from the blacksmith guild and the lady I met at the market this time.
Donmi bird bastards who can’t learn so much and eat it and say ‘Jesse’ to the customers. Like Team Rocket, if you forget it, it pops out.
Anyway, that was the reason why the strong people of this world were aloof from money.
Eating knife rice means that you are earning money by risking your life in a fight.
‘A bastard who chooses money between money and life will disappear after being searched for.’
It’s easy to understand if you think about the stock market.
If you try to make a fortune and fail, you will lose your family.
People who risk their lives to invest become curious about the temperature of the water in the Han River after one failure!
In order to live on a knife for a long time, you had to know how to save your life without being obsessed with money. Those who don’t will fall behind early without having time to get stronger.
It is not the strong who survive, but the survivor who is strong.
It has been a long time since Charles Darwin’s choice of geography.
【Oh! Huh, waist! I lost my back!!]
However, a female sailor said that and knelt down on her knees. ─Little. As the person holding it grabbed it, of course her device tilted sideways.
[Hey, hey! Hold on! He’s down!! Grab and drop!!]
【Be careful!!】
Cried the sailor with the scars on her face. Ah, the maid I saw at that man’s mansion. After all, it seems that the sailors were right. I thought so and dashed.
【We are here to help. I’ll put it down for now.]
【Yeah? Ah! Yeah!】
– Chuck. Together with the panicked sailors, I propped up the device that was about to collapse and set it aside. It’s really heavy. What the hell did you make it out of?
【This fuck!! What if you lost your back!! You almost got hit in the foot!!]
【Mi, sorry!!】
A woman sailor with a missing waist hit by a dagger. Her scarred maid stared at such colleagues with an asshole-looking gaze that could only be sent to Chin Chin, then lowered her head.
【Thank you for your help. Are you Mr. Nord?]
【Yes. I’m glad I was passing through. It looks very heavy, but can I help you move it?]
【I would appreciate it if you could.】
Maybe it’s because he’s not a customer, but a business partner. I gestured to Veronica.
【My dear, what does ticking mean? Do you want to go first?]
【Fuck you, it means you should come and help too.】
【It can’t be. You’re doing bad things to a seed who has no energy from eating only grass.]
【Sorry. I’m indebted to you.]
At Mr. Scar Maid’s apology, Veronica crossed her arms and smiled triumphantly.
【Well. Mind you. You can worry as much as you like. I’d appreciate it if you could teach my wicked master how to treat servants kindly on my behalf.]
【Yeah? Uh, that… ?】
【Ignore it. He doesn’t know German very well.]
【The owner is now even lying for abuse.】
Even as she said that, Veronica helped carry her current control device to her storage room. It’s good that she wears top and bottom clothes.
─Chuck.
Mr. Scar Maid puts the device in the warehouse and locks it.
‘But the lock looks a bit worn out.’
Well, I don’t have to worry about being robbed. It’s a voyage with only trusted people.
[I checked the quantity before putting things in. Don’t worry, you can find out if it’s stolen.]
【Oh, excuse me.】
It’s quick to notice.
Of course, I wasn’t trying to steal, it was the other way around. I was worried that someone wouldn’t sneak up on me. Perhaps the captain, Ursilla, doesn’t worry too much about stealing.
‘He’s also the type who isn’t obsessed with money.’
How do I know that You can’t help but notice when you see a hole in the belly of a new pirate ship with a nopakku.
How much is the ship that turned into a submarine (never again) in front of us?
‘He probably thought that his belly button was bigger than his stomach even if he took it away.’
We have no way of towing a captured pirate ship for more than 10 days.
In this voyage, only trusted sailors were gathered on Goldene Ship under Ursilla’s leadership, so there were no surplus personnel to be assigned to other ships.
The idea that splitting the team into two will still work is a small business mentality. It would be absurd to leave the pirates alive and let them work on the boat.
It is also impossible to deploy only the minimum number of people. Can 2-3 people steer the boat?
‘No, it would be a problem even if it was.’
What if monsters or pirates show up again?
The helmsman +@ assigned to the pirate ship will become a crab meat burger patty. Voila! Replaced by your crew, the Flying Dutch.
It is a moment of silence for the fishermen who came to catch shrimp off the coast of Germania and will rescue human-water dumplings from their nets.
If you think about it, Ursilla was an excellent captain who calmly put survival first. If you want to succeed without dying while enjoying an adventure, you must know how to do that.
So we just have to be careful that Ursilla sails away leaving us alone.
‘Actually, that’s no problem. You won’t be able to break through the barrier without me or Veronica.’
Go back to shore and spread rumors? Ah, how are you going to break through the barrier without us?
It would be fortunate if I didn’t end up like Noland, a liar, after rashly spreading rumors about a tropical night island rich in resources. Yes, Hawaii is sunk in the sea!
【Mmm. Dear my arm hurts It hurts a lot. Don’t you think that carrying such a heavy burden is not suitable for a wizard like me?]
【Wrong. Carrying luggage must be the job of a servant.]
【I can’t even scream. If you can’t read a book because your arm hurts, it’s all your fault. I have no choice but to ask the master to read the text for me.]
【I can’t even make a sound. You talk so damn well.]
【Squeak.】
It’s not funny at all, bitch.
【Just say it anytime! I can also transform into a mouse!]
【I didn’t ask, I never wanted, don’t shoot me telepathically.】
I’m so excited. Isn’t your sense of distance reduced too much?
It’s sold out Rather than feeling a sense of distance, let’s call it something better.
***
Mare Strait was able to arrive in half a day.
We anchored the boat on an island that seemed to be smaller than Dokdo, almost like a reef, and stayed for a day on board.
It was because of Ursilla’s idea that she wouldn’t be able to find anything at night, but in fact, she wouldn’t have to.
Because even before dawn this morning, Veronica has found her destination.
Shoot ah-.
Goldene Sif went to the place Veronica had told her about. Said Fran, leaning on the ship’s railing on her deck, curiously.
“What do you really see? I can only see the horizon.”
“There is a huge barrier over there. It seems to be a barrier covering the island.”
Veronica pointed her finger in one direction.
‘There’s nothing fucking cancer.’
It was the same with my eyes that I couldn’t see the barrier. I thought in my heart that I would be able to see the island for the reason of Old God’s mana or something, but it seems that the conditions are not right.
Dana leaned her head against me and muttered something unexpected.
“It’s nothing really. I was just nervous. I wondered what if there was a whirlpool or a ferocious monster.”
“I see.”
Some kind of unusual ocean current flows, but I’m not an expert, so I don’t give a fuck.
It feels similar to when he was in middle school, sitting in the passenger seat of the car and tilting his head whenever his father rang the horn.
“Aren’t you glad you’re not unusual? If there was something clearly visible above the sea, other scholars would not have left it.”
“That’s right too. Fuck, if you just talk like that every day, you’ll look smarter.”
“What should I do in the conversation right now to say something about hitting my husband?”
“All you have to do is say the good things about my mother in reverse. There are so many of them that you can pick and choose.”
“Where did all the compliments left after making swear words go?”
“My mom saved it. She said later she’ll be sure to give it back. When your child is born, to him.”
What a surprise. The bastard I didn’t even name was already putting a straw through my spine.
It was my older sister who secretly appealed for sex with her flowing words. If this happens, I will have a hobby that excites me when I eat swear words like Frank.
“Senior~. I can’t even see any other boat here.”
─Whiririk! Ralilura said, descending from the mast like a rhythmic gymnast. It could be annoying if other ships see you entering the barrier, so they went to reconnoiter.
By the way, I volunteered because I wanted to try it.
Veronica, like her secretary, put on her glasses—it was a magical item that could see through the barriers on the island—and looked back at Ursilla.
【Ursilla. Arriving soon.]
【Hmm. I can’t see anything, but I get it. Everyone prepares for landing!!]
【Preparation for landing!!】
The sailors who sang Ursilla’s command in unison followed without a word.
The boat cut through the current and moved toward the empty sea. Glasses Mode Veronica muttered as if timing her.
【5, 4, 3, 2, 1… It’s over.]
In that moment, the scenery changed.
─Whoah!
A tropical jungle appeared in my field of vision as if a mirage had disappeared. Even from a distance, I could see fruit in abundance on the trees. It was a very good island for tourism.
Haha!! It’s real!! You did well to follow me!!]
Ursilla, smiling brightly, drew her sword and pointed it at her white sandy beach.
【Lower the anchor!! Anchor at the shore ahead!!]
【An old book!! Prepare for a night out!!]
【Prepare for a night out!!】
─Quarrrr!!
So, the Goldene Ship docked at the sandy beach and unloaded cargo. Lalilura, who was stepping on the swaying sand, whistled in the scorching heat.
“Is it really hot~? It just feels like summer.”
“Did everyone bring their summer clothes? Should I change before exploring to avoid getting heat stroke?”
Fran said as she took out a light suit from her luggage.
She thought for a moment that she was like a mother on a picnic with her children.
If Fran heard that, she’d be happy.
Anyway, summer was an uncomfortable season for people like us who had a lot of fights to do. The feeling of being fucked when you sweat under your armor is the extreme of unpleasantness that cannot be discussed unless you have experienced it.
-Jureuk. Veronica, who had sweat dripping down her chest from unloading her load, wiped it off with her handkerchief.
“I hate summer. It’s hard because of the heat rash, and when I’m different, my body temperature rises and I get dizzy.”
“The chest sweat is good. When she’s up high when she’s performing, the sweat that slips off her hands sends chills down her spine.”
“At times like that, it’s a little better if you put on a cloth. I’ve been through a lot since I was little too.”
“… Hey Nor. Don’t hug me silently It’s more annoying being so fucking comforting.”
I ignored the protest and petted Dana. What should I do if my Nunna later gives birth to a baby and breastfeeding NTR because it’s hard for me to breastfeed?
Ursilla, who rolled up her sleeves as if she had unloaded her luggage, approached.
【It’s hot enough to interfere with activities. Around the beginning of summer?]
【The humidity is low, so you just need to be careful of the daily temperature difference.】
【Yes. It’s nice to hear from you beforehand. What is your next plan?】
【We will start with exploration. Isn’t it a big deal if there are dangerous creatures or poisonous insects?]
【It makes sense. I’ll make a group of 5 to suit you guys. What do you think?】
【No complaints. There are no monsters, but be careful because you might not know.]
【You are. I heard that 20% of the adventurers of the sea die in an unknown land after crossing the waves?]
【Thank you so much for the nice words.】
【Yes. Look there.]
Ursilla teamed up with her crew and made the move.
We also started exploring the surroundings using Fran’s sensing ability, and after about 10 minutes we came to the conclusion that there seemed to be no other animals, let alone monsters.
“It’s a small island, but there are only plants? Really?”
Lalilura, who avoided the fruit that had fallen to the ground, asked in surprise. To him, Fran held up acorn-like berries and fruits that had fallen on the floor and showed them.
“Yes. These are the staple foods that so many small animals eat, and even if the ecosystem on the island is different from the outside, it’s awkward to roll around on the floor like this.”
“If there are no small animals, that would mean there are no other creatures eating them.”
Receiving the fruit, Veronica said. Fran turned her knee and nodded her head.
“It will. No footprints, no territory markings on the trees. I’ll have to look a little further, but there’s no sign of animals like this on the shore. I think you can assume that even if there are dangerous animals, they will hardly move.”
“… So what is it Can we assume that we rented this place?”
“Maybe?”
The moment I heard that answer, I opened my mouth almost like a spinal reflex.
“Franc!! Dana!! Let’s go swimming!!”
“My dear. I know how you feel, but wait another 30 minutes.”
Said Veronica calmly, taking her slate from her pack. I was discouraged from feeling doused with excitement.
“This? It seems our master has been disappointed. But I want you to be a little happy.”
After calculating something, Veronica took out a mithril horn pillar containing Orihalcon from the stone slab.
Then she put it on the floor and said.
“With this Orihalcon, I don’t have to go looking for the Burning Branch.”
