Episode 242 West Port (2)
Just as a beautiful wave came crashing in, Ray hurriedly waved his hand.
With a full amount of mana, he moved his arms around and hit the waves, and soon the water droplets scattered and the waves split apart.
Paaang—!
He burst through the rushing waves and went under the surface without missing a small gap.
The bottom of the water was calmer than I thought.
It can be said that it is a different world from Wie where the waves are crazy strong.
As he headed further down the wall, he found a wooden board-shaped key attached to the bottom of the boat.
When I raised my face while protecting my body with mana from the torrential current that made it hard to open my eyes, there were a lot of tall aquatic plants and moss I had never seen before.
‘It’s not surprising that the ship doesn’t move.’
As he approaches and removes them himself, the key moves sideways to give a signal that it has been done.
His body froze for an instant as he tried to climb up the wall again after the task had been completed fairly easily.
‘What is that again?’ There was a huge protruding rock in front of him, which aroused admiration.
Its size, comparable to that of a mountain, gives you a feeling that if you collide with it, the steel plates of the ship will be torn to shreds.
His expression hardened, he looked at the boat for a moment.
‘The height has been out of order for too long.’
Clearly, there are no rocks like this on the way to go in a straight line.
That would mean they’ve turned quite a bit to the right.
After clearing his mind, he let go of his hands.
‘Blast.’
A gust of strong wind is the driving force, launching him at high speed near the rock.
The rocks he faced so close were even more devastating.
It’s a hard-looking surface, but even so, it’s too gigantic.
Even if the size is big, there should be a degree. What if a mountain is completely submerged in the sea!
When Ray squeezed his hand as he pushed mana, a sword made of aura blades appeared there.
Uhhh—
how dense it is, it can be called a master sword by itself, as it exists alone, pushing away the seawater.
With the sword at his waist, he stood impatiently and looked down at the rock, then thrust out his sword.
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Half of the rock is cut away with a groaning sound as if something is screaming.
Koo-Goo-Goo-Gung—
If you look at one whole, it’s still lacking.
It seems that everything needs to be cut before the ship gets to this point.
As I put my strength in my hand and lowered my sword a few more times, the huge mountain was reduced to the size of the mountain behind the neighborhood.
There is a corner where the shape of cutting rocks while embroidering a sword is similar to that of an engraver.
Sensing that time was running out, he even cast magic impatiently.
‘Wind cutter! Explosion!’
As dozens of blades of wind rained down and a chain of explosions rose above them, the rock could not stand it and reduced its size.
No matter how huge the mountain is, it eventually shows the bottom as if there is no way to counter the mana pouring down without knowing the end.
Kwaaaang—!
He heard the last explosion and sank into the sea as if the existence of the rock had been erased.
However, he had to stop his action again due to the life force pouring straight from behind.
When he waved his hand toward the starting point of the killing spree and fired a sword wave, a water monster began to sag.
However, that wasn’t the end.
Even the dead monster’s friend and his future cousin, all gathered together and began to persecute him.
‘Aaagh!’
I felt like I wanted to scream, but it was an impossible wish because I was underwater.
His way to go was still long.
* * *
“Phehe….”
Hael and Iriel said with a pitiful expression as he gasped on the deck, drooping like a deep-sea fish pulled ashore.
“It doesn’t make sense.”
“Ray’s face has been cut in half. I was worried that I wasn’t getting old, but should I say it’s fortunate that I became 10 years old in an instant?”
“Heo-eok… Heo-eok…”
He trembled like a trembling aspen tree after experiencing all kinds of charms of a water monster that no one else had experienced under the sea.
If you ask me to go one more time, I won’t be able to go.
However, contrary to his worries, fortunately the rudder has been restored and the ship’s outer shell is in a situation where it can withstand, so if you get out of here, you will be able to reach the trading port.
Several young men approached him and reported.
“The waves have weakened.”
“On the map, we are not far from our destination. Cheer up a little.”
He answered while catching his breath at the good news he heard one after another.
“Don’t worry, it’s not over yet. Raise the sails when the waves get weaker. From then on, I go rowing.”
“All right.”
With a short answer, as the youths disappeared somewhere, Ray also stood up.
After rummaging around for a while, he took out a map soaked in seawater and put his finger on the trading port.
Until just a moment ago, he looked like a squid dried in the hot sun, but soon after he showed the appearance of a scion with both literary and martial arts, Hael, curious about what he was doing, intervened.
“What are you doing?”
“I have some work to do when I arrive at the trading port. I have to take another boat to cross over from the West Continent to the East Continent.”
At his words, Hael’s face became contemplative.
“You have to ride one more time!”
You mean you have to do this all over again!
Rei shook her head and said, perhaps recognizing her expression.
“It’s not like this, so don’t worry. You can think of it as a cruise on a calm sea.”
“Ummm…”
I agree with a saliva.
“i get it. I won’t tell the young chief.”
“Yes, please. Oh, just in case, the agency downstairs tells you not to leave your seat. Even if the waves have weakened, you still don’t know.”
“I get it.”
Iriel murmured while watching Hael go down.
“It’s great mana every time I see it. The energy that comes out implicitly is no joke.”
“Our situation is no joke. The money you have is even less of a joke.”
After devising some countermeasures, he sighed.
No matter where you want to go, you need money, no matter where you want to eat, you need money, but you don’t have a few gold coins.
“If I had known it would be like this, I would have brought a little more.”
“Iknow, right. Even if you arrive at the trading port, you can’t even buy food with this.”
“For a few days, I will have no choice but to make ends meet by being homeless. Starting from the Kingdom of Celia, if you walk to the Holy Kingdom and sell the skins of the animals you hunted whenever a village appears around you, you will get some money.”
“That alone will have its limits.”
Hearing Iriel’s worried words, he spoke indifferently.
“If you don’t have it, you will starve.”
* * *
A day and a half had passed since I had been on the boat.
Now the waves were calm and there were no threats, so I was able to sail quite leisurely.
Elders, instructors, and young people alike exclaim with excited voices at the scarlet light that flashes from afar.
“It’s a village!”
“De finally arrived at the port!”
“This is the outside world!”
Even the young chief and Hael, who said not to make a fuss at their loud voices, came out on the deck and opened their mouths while looking at the port.
“Awesome.”
“The architecture is quite good.”
They have only been building tree houses for hundreds of years.
Here, they use stone and process wood to create beautiful houses, so the gap between them and building technology can be said to be the difference between the distance between heaven and earth.
It is a sight I have never seen in my life.
Since I have never been outside the island in the first place, this kind of reaction is natural.
As they exclaimed in admiration and looked into the eyes of the girl who fell in love for the first time at the port that was getting closer and closer, Ray alone dropped anchor and prepared to dock.
When the ship comes to a complete stop in the harbor, the guards who feel strange frown and gesture.
As we get off the ship and approach, the guards who have been waiting for us speak.
“Unlicensed ships cannot dock in the port. go back.”
“Some beggars come on a ghost ship and… tsk tsk.”
Due to the hard voyage, the clothes became rags, and the neat and magnificent ship was cracked here and there and turned into an ugly look.
At that level, it was possible for the guards to ignore it.
“Where do I get permission?”
At his question, one of the guards points away with his finger.
“Permission for the Western Trade Port is granted only in the kingdom of Frias. If you thought there was a separate reception desk, you were mistaken.”
“is it so? Then tell him you’re going to use the port for a second. There is no such thing as a contact network. If you show me this card, you’ll get a rough idea.”
While talking, he held out a silver plate, but the guard shook his head.
“I don’t have any contact network to use for you. Because now Seongguk is busy.”
When the opponent continued to come out crookedly, he also felt hurt.
“It is strange. Why do you keep making me crooked today?”
While muttering an incomprehensible sound, a group of young men jumped from one side of the boat.
Even though they came down from a considerable distance, the guards swallow saliva at their expressions, which do not seem to have any special blows.
“What are you doing?”
“Have you ever had a problem?”
They even frowned in an attempt to get rid of the problem right away, but the mana flowing from their bodies implicitly strangled the guards.
Each one is a power that surpasses that of a sword master.
As their momentum poured into the guards, patrols in the nearby area or roads did not dare to deal with them.
One of the guards spoke quickly.
“Come to think of it, it seems that there was one surplus mana crystal orb. Let me ask you a question.”
As soon as he snatched the silver plate and disappeared into the tent, Ray laughed.
It was also the moment when it was confirmed once again that the common language of all nations was the fist.
* * *
When the dubious shield was revealed through the contact network, there was an untimely uproar in the kingdom of Frias.
“They are adults!”
“In preparation for any personal threats, temporarily blockade the trading ports and dispatch the nearby Paladins!”
Even the priest in the crystal sphere, who was always arrogant, kicked off his seat and stood up, so the guards had no choice but to open their mouths and scream.
What is the identity of the beggars who came aboard the ghost ship as adults of the East Continent!
The young guard, whose complexion was pale, shuddered.
“It is a big deal. We should go and treat them right now.”
“Umm… Guards, take the adults right away.”
The tone was mixed, but he had no other choice.
The water has already spilled, and only the role of picking it up remains.
