Episode 229
Episode 87. Looking for Catherine (1)
The bath water was ready in an instant.
The members of the black club prepared separate bathtubs for Natalie and Yuma.
He even showed off his wit by leaving flower petals floating in the bathtub and preparing Western-style wine.
“Why are there no petals in our bathtub! Give me the flower leaves!”
Thanks to Ballinan shouting at the members, the three of them were able to wash themselves in the bathtub with floating petals.
While they were bathing, Oliver immediately called the top chefs in Balipoa.
After taking a bath, Yuma and the others sat down at the table and opened their mouths to realize the dignity of ebony in Bali Poa.
Top-notch dishes that would not be lacking compared to Western aristocrats were lined up on a long table.
“Oliver is the only one left, everyone else go and see things. no Yuma. Shall I ask Oliver to leave too?”
“no. I think you’re quite a wise friend if you put it in the front. You know that there is only one life. I think there will be many things to help us in the future, so leave it alone. Come with me, Oliver.”
“Yes, yes, Yuma, Natalie, and their colleagues had a meal together and talked about things they hadn’t been able to do before.
It was mainly Yuma Cog Ballinan Igor talking and Natalie listening.
“So we haven’t heard from you for months. You’ve been unconscious for three months… Did you get out of Yuma Island and check your condition properly?”
Natalie asked anxiously.
“I know my body best.
No problem.”
Yuma put the fork down and summoned Amula for a moment.
“It’s a magic sword. it suits you
Why don’t you visit the spirit healer?”
“If you find Seril later, check him properly.”
Euliver couldn’t tell if the rice went through his nose or his mouth.
As I sat at the table and listened intently to the story, I realized that they were the most powerful people in the West.
Besides, it seems that Natalie’s lover was even a disciple of the King of Knights, Duran Jacques.
No matter how much Oliver flew and crawled, demonstrating the prestige of being a king, he was in a position that was no different from a caterpillar compared to Yuma. In fact, his powers also belonged to Natal Lee.
‘That’s not enough, what? Beat the demons and get the demon sword? And that little boy is the son of the head of the Povian family? what are these humans Scared…
Oliver was thirsty and drank only water.
“That means the chief of Porapora Island was such a crazy kid. It was to the point of being pushed one-on-one with Yuma. What’s your cog secret? How did you seduce her?”
Natalie said with a low laugh. When Yuma and the rest heard the story, they all thought of
Kog’s big and burly… in their heads .
“Well, a cog is enough.”
“Cog is the grandma of the male world…
“It’s not like that!”
A burst of laughter broke out. Cogg blushed, avoiding the gaze of his comrades. Oliver wiped the sweat from his brow and smiled awkwardly.
“By the way, Natalie, how did you become the head of the dark group again?”
Yuma swallowed a piece of meat and said.
“I don’t have a funny story like you guys. Didn’t Yuma say that a person named Calsis dropped me while being fished by some demon?”
“huh. They say it’s not the guy I beat on Porapora Island, but a new guy named Gallos.”
“Hmm. I was in a state of fainting, so I’m not sure what happened. When I opened my eyes, I was trapped in a boat. It was a slave qualifier for thieves.”
“thief? also.”
“I killed all the thieves in the ship, leaving only the people needed for the voyage. When I asked while killing him, he said that I woke up in three days. That ship was a slave ship bound for Cantra.”
After that, Natalie arrived in Cantra.
In order to return to the light of Azif, which was their original destination, they sought a ship, but since then, a storm continued for nearly a month, and there was no ship that could sail.
Hearing the rumors that the slave ship was hit while he was unable to do this or that, all kinds of bastards rushed to catch Natalie.
Naturally, they were torn apart by Natalie’s chainsword recovered from the slave ship.
As a native of Rose Society, Natalie killed all the bastards who recognized her to minimize rumors.
Among the underworld of Balipoa, in the end, there were only ghost stories, not rumors about Natalie.
The garrison judged it to be a struggle between dark groups and did not intervene.
Dark people in collusion with aristocrats or wealthy people knew a lot of unfavorable facts about them, so there was no particular need to save the bastards who were dying on their own.
Afterwards, Natalie formed her own forces, judging that too much time had passed and it was realistically unreasonable to search for her colleagues alone.
Oliver was a lucky man.
Ebony, who had no special abilities or ambitions and ran errands in the upper ranks of the organization, came to Natalie’s attention.
Natalie immediately led Oliver to eliminate Balipoa’s dark group bosses one by one. Of course, the method was poison.
It didn’t take half a year for Ebony to become the dark house that ruled Balipoa.
“…Then I bought slaves from the West and searched for you guys. I’ve been to Azif’s Light once.
That garrison was in such a sensitive state that we couldn’t function properly.”
Ajif’s light has been in a state of tension since the fall of Lung Doge. The largest slave black market in the East disappeared, but there were many problems with security because of the escaped slaves.
In addition, the fire fell on the feet of the rich people who had a relationship with Rong Doge, so the atmosphere in the city was inevitably different.
So Natalie returned to Cantra and started buying Western slaves.
“Wow… nothing special. It feels like I’m watching an epic play that often takes place in Hale Square. Aang!”
“The disgusting aegyo is still there, Igor. By the way, Yuma’s wings…
Should I say that Omir is also lucky?
In the end, I got a spot right in the east. You have a guild in the east as well.”
“It’s a harvest I never thought of.
I never thought they would be so successful.”
“Then what do we do now?”
“huh?”
Natalie raised a corner of her mouth and continued.
“I am your lover, but I also swore obedience when I first decided to join you. What to do with ebony? boss.”
“Did you swear something like that? when?”
Yuma had no such memories. Didn’t they just naturally absorb it into the top of the Rose Society Pouang and start anew after that?
“My heart was like that, you idiot.”
“Ah, that’s what I meant. All the slaves under Ebony’s management are sent to Mus Icahn, and Ebony changes its personality from the underworld to an intelligence organization and slave liberation organization.”
“Unconventional yet neat.”
“Natalie. Of course, like when running the rose society, you must have caught the weaknesses of the most influential writers in the region, right?”
“of course. There are a lot of people who will be torn to pieces by the Royal Guard who will be dispatched right away if you order the kids to spray them under a few documents. I don’t know why those who were born full are so stupid.”
“The funding to run the organization can be based on that, and in addition, I will contact Yuma’s wing and ask for support.”
“But why Mus Icahn Island?”
Yuma explained to Natalie the reason for sending the slaves to Mus Icahn.
Natalie’s eyes narrowed as she heard Yuma’s story that she would gather the talented people of the East together and absorb them into her own power.
He was not aware of Yuma yet, but in fact, many rumors about Yuma were circulating among powerful people all over the East.
Most of them were vague and exaggerated rumors such as saying that he was a contractor of the King of Spirits and that he was a prophet who came to this land to free the slaves.
A compelling story has always had a strange power. In the near future, Mus Icahn was expected to be filled with talented people from the East who came to confirm the truth of the rumors.
The village chief of Mus Icahn said ‘Brah!’
It was because it would add credibility to their question.
“I was giving up my humanity to find you, but you moved with a lot of preparation.
Are you trying to be a little sad?”
“That’s not it, Natalie.”
“Being a bastard is also your charm, so let’s go beyond that. Anyway, did you hear Oliver? Your fate has just been decided.”
“Uh uh…
“Don’t be a father, you shouldn’t have been watching what I’ve been doing up until now. If you do half of that, you too can carry out what Yuma just said.”
“How can someone like me, Natalie-sama. It’s a bunch.”
Then, in Natalie’s eyes, it was hard to live.
“Impossible… My King Oliver, in a few hours, my fear has completely disappeared. You know how to disobey my order.”
“I will. I will do it!”
“Anyway, I have to wait for news about Lady Catherine, so in the meantime, I will stay in Balipoa and make the basic frame.”
“Myeongwang. I will also write a letter to Yuma’s Wing to send an expert to transform Ebony. Santi would be perfect. don’t worry too much If you don’t do it properly, you can pay it back with death.”
Oliver could only nod his head, hiding the feeling of crying.
“Now, let ebony deal with it that way. Boss, where is the next destination?”
Yuma began to think about where to go next to find Catherine and Cheryl.
“Since you came to Kantra, you should meet Rugal.”
“Keohyeop!”
Oliver spits out the water he was drinking.
Everyone’s eyes focused on him for a moment, and he bowed his head eagerly.
“I knew you would, of course. What about after meeting Rugal?”
“I ask him. Please help in the search for Catherine and Cheryl.”
“How?”
“First of all, I’m thinking of making a polite request.”
“Will the emperor of the East really listen to your request? I think it will be difficult to meet you in the first place.”
“Then I’ll have to find his reverse.”
Certainly there is something about the Eastern Emperor, Rugal Raijin.
Yuma thought so from the moment he decided to go east and met Juan.
This is because Juan Spaser asked to ‘save’ Garle Spazer from Rugal.
Of course, it was a leap to predict that Rugal had a weakness based on that fact alone, but somehow Yuma couldn’t erase the feeling that there was something secret about him.
“Yes, if the opponent is the emperor or whatever, it would be the right thing to do. Anyway, let’s wait a few days first. Even then, I was thinking that the place where Lady Catherine’s whereabouts could be guessed was the capital of Cantra.”
“I hope to bring you good news.”
Maybe even if Miss Catherine was right, it wouldn’t be such good news.
Natalie swallowed the words and nodded.
The reason she sent people to Cantra to find Catherine was because of a slave trader who was dealing with another underworld in Val Repoa.
Natalie figured out that there was a beautiful red-haired woman on their slave ledger and sent someone to Eltainer, the capital of Cantra.
The party finished eating and went to their respective rooms to rest. The members of the Black Dane respectfully served the new boss and his companions.
And four days later, Natalie’s men who had been sent to the capital of Cantra returned to Val Repoa.
“Looking at the way you look, I think it’s Lady Catherine. She is said to be a woman with fiery red hair and a western aristocratic accent.
Red hair is rare even in the West.”
I hope the young lady did not go through rough times while she was enslaved.
Natalie thought so and sucked on her pipe.
