Episode 1191. That island is Rhodes.
Before Elio could untie Fabian’s rope, heavy rain poured down.
Wheein-!
Shoot aaaaaaaaaaa!
As the sailors said, a storm came.
The storm caused by the extreme weather was very different, even if it was different from the last time.
The wind was so strong that the boat tottered as if capsized.
The sailors hurriedly lowered the sails, but this time a house-sized wave came from the side and rocked the ship.
The waves were so high that even Elio stumbled.
The crew on deck and in the boat evacuated to the cabin as soon as the sails were lowered.
Seeing that, Elio shouted at Count Omar of Larva.
“The Count, please go in too!”
Count Larva Omar, exhausted physically and mentally, immediately took refuge in the cabin.
“Fabian! Better not untie the rope! Just hold on!”
“And what if the boat capsizes?”
“At that time, I will cut the line! If you move now, you will fall into the sea!”
“All right! Please don’t leave my side!”
“okay! I intend to stay!”
Elio hurriedly pressed down with the new method of the Thousand Keunchu when the prow soared upward.
Kududeuk-!
The bow sank with the sound of twisting trees.
‘oh! Is this okay?’
Elio wandered around the magical sailboat and used the Thousand Muscles at the right time.
Maybe that’s why the crisis that capsized the ship like the first time didn’t come.
Kurrureung! Kwagwang-!
Lightning strikes non-stop from the dark clouded sky.
It fell so much that even Elio was afraid.
In the face of lightning, Elio couldn’t help but ponder whether he should go into the cabin or not.
But he stubbornly held his ground.
‘I, who came to kill the Demon of Heaven, hides in the Harmony of Wind and Cloud made by the Demon of Heaven? Do not be ridiculous!’
Rather, he jumped onto the bow railing and screamed.
Sailors who had been evacuated to the cabin gathered at the window.
They clucked their tongues at the sight of Viscount Elio Lagoa waving his arms and screeching.
In the meantime, one of the sailors said as if he was worried.
“The lightning is falling like that, shouldn’t you bring it with you?”
Sailors glanced at Count Omar of Larva.
It was because there was no one else who could convince Viscount Elio Lagoa among them.
At their words, Count Larva Omar hesitated for a moment.
It’s not because a storm and a thunderbolt are two different things.
It’s time for Count Omar of Larva to hesitate about what to do.
Kwakwang!
In front of the sailors, a bolt of lightning struck the bow.
Shards of smashed wood hit the cabin windows with a powerful explosion.
Surprised, the sailors hastily covered their heads and squatted down.
Moments later, exclamations flowed from the mouths of the sailors who jumped up and looked out the windows.
“Wow!”
“We are all right!”
“What is that?”
“Is it a mana shield?”
Viscount Elio Lagoa still stood tall on the broken prow, a deep blue light enveloping him in a circle.
Count Larva Omar secretly swept his chest.
I was surprised by the status of Viscount Elio Lagoa, but on the other hand, I was proud.
He was well aware that Viscount Elio Lagoa was a pure swordsman.
So, the radiance you see now must have nothing to do with magic.
‘Someday I will…’
Count Larva Omar, who dreamed of becoming a sword master all his life, has renewed his goal to become a grand master.
The lightning that fell as if it would destroy the whole world became silent from a certain moment.
The force of the wind, which had been blowing strong enough to shake the hull, also weakened.
Waves the size of a house are now small enough to bear.
Still, the sky was dark and the wind and rain blew so hard that it was hard to open my eyes.
Whii-!
Shoot aaaaaaaaaaa!
After a while, the storm weakened enough for everyone to feel, and the sailors poured out.
The faces of the sailors, who had been white for fear that the sailboat would capsize, became lively.
Count Larva Omar came out on deck and freed Fabian from the mast.
As time passed, the raindrops gradually weakened and the dark clouds cleared little by little.
Elio’s eyes shone as he watched from the bow.
“It is an island!”
The island, which had been stamped like a dot on the horizon, revealed a gigantic figure.
Fabian, who was carefully observing the island next to Viscount Elio Lagoa, tilted his head.
“Is that the green island from the ancient poem? But why can I see the lighthouse?”
“A lighthouse?”
“The one that stands out on the side over there. Isn’t it a lighthouse?”
As Elio strained his eyes and looked again, Captain Althelm approached.
Seeing the captain, Fabian asked.
“That pointed tower over there looks like a lighthouse to my eyes… isn’t it?”
“you’re right.”
“The island looks pretty big… is it the island we found?”
“no. I don’t know why that island is over there… That island is Rhodes Island.”
Elio turned to the captain and said with an incomprehensible face.
“Is that Rhodes Island? Didn’t you say no earlier?”
“The island we saw earlier was not that one.”
“Then what is that island?”
“That is strange. It’s only been an hour since we met the fog. But I don’t know why it is in front of Rhodes Island. Rhodes Island is a place where you have to sail for a full day in the Sea of Demons to come out.”
“A day?”
“Yema’s waters are in the middle of the islands of Fiestra and Rhodes. It’s only been an hour, but Rhodes Island…
It’s the first time I’ve had anything like this…”
“Yes, the island we saw in the Sea of Ma is not that. Originally, there are no islands in Anima’s waters. It’s not that I’m possessed by a ghost… I don’t know what it is.”
Captain Althelm shook his head excitedly.
He couldn’t understand how a sailboat could travel a day’s distance in an hour.
asked Count Omar of Larva.
“Didn’t the rudder move?”
“That… I thought the boat would capsize in the waves, so I changed direction several times.”
“You mean you strayed from your original destination?”
“Yes, but we can’t come to Rhodes Island in an hour.”
Silence enveloped the crowd.
Elio sighed at the captain’s reply, but did not scold him.
Perhaps it was thanks to the captain’s efforts that the magic sailboat did not capsize in the storm.
The magic sailboat seemed to tip over, but it would miraculously regain its balance.
Knowing that, I couldn’t blame the captain.
After a while, the magic sailboat turned to the sea of kelp in front of the Rhodes Island lighthouse.
next day.
As the sun went down, Captain Althelm came out of the bow and announced that he had entered the sea area of Kelp.
Elio stared at the sea with empty eyes.
After more than a month of voyage, miraculously, I found a green island, but I couldn’t even go near it and returned to the original point!
“Fabian, have you ever heard of a rumor that you went to Rhodes Island in an hour from the port?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“I’ll turn. How should I interpret this?”
As Elio sighed, Count Omar of Larva intervened.
“Isn’t it possible that time and space were distorted in the sea of demons?”
“Is that possible?”
“It’s impossible with human ability… but it might be possible with a divine being. You shouldn’t think of it in terms of human understanding.”
For some reason, Count Larva Omar didn’t call Kama Debias a god, but slightly lowered it to ‘a divine being’.
‘I will kill Cama Debias’ was a consideration for Viscount Elio Lagoa.
Elio shook his head.
I don’t know how that’s possible, but looking at the results, the count was right.
Until the sun went down, I wandered around the Sea of Ma, but there was no island.
The moon rose in the night sky.
Elio, who was staring at the night sea, said,
“Fabian, we are not mistaken, are we? Surely there was an island, right?”
“yes. I didn’t see it wrong. All the sailors said they had seen the island. The green islands of ancient poetry are evident. Looks like we’ve come to the right place.”
“Okay, next time I won’t miss it.”
Elio clenched his fists tightly.
I feel like my blood is boiling when I think that I missed a hard-earned opportunity.
“By the way, what happened to the Viscount Siren?”
“How is it?”
“I was listening to the siren’s song and when I came to my senses, I found myself in the middle of a storm. Did the sirens just sing and leave?”
“Where are you going? I killed him.”
“The sirens?”
“uh. Hearing that song, I want everyone to fight to death. I heard that you also rolled your eyes and went crazy saying that you would untie the rope. Don’t you remember?”
“I did have an unpleasant dream.”
“What?”
“A dream in which Sir Sera flirts with other knights. It’s a dream, right? It felt so real that I felt like I was actually witnessing it. Ah, just thinking about it makes me annoyed again.”
Fabian trembled.
I wanted to run and kill them all, but my body didn’t move, as if I was being held down by scissors, and the more painful memories came flooding back to me.
Elio glanced at Count Omar of Larva.
He was strangling someone until he sank to the bottom of the sea.
Had he also witnessed the betrayal of a loved one?
No, was it really just a hallucination?
Just thinking about it for a moment made my appetite drop and my life intensified.
Then Fabian asked.
“How was the Viscount?”
“Don’t ask. Because I don’t want to think about it.”
“Ah…”
Fabian nodded as if he understood what he was talking about.
Haha, he himself, who hadn’t seen Sir Serra for a few months, was on the same level, but Viscount Elio Lagoa would do more.
Fabian turned to Count Omar.
Before he could speak, Count Larva Omar spoke firmly.
“Don’t say anything.”
Fabian, who was scratching his head with a puzzled face, muttered to himself.
“Does this make me feel like I’m the only one who lost money?”
“You don’t have to put shit on everyone’s feet just because you stepped on it.”
“If you share joy, it doubles, but if you share sorrow…”
“This kind of thing is tripled. So don’t talk about it any more.”
“Ah yes.”
Fabian wondered what had happened to Count Omar and Viscount Lagoa, but couldn’t ask further.
Captain Althelm approached Elio and the others who were silently looking at the sea and thinking.
“Come on guys.”
Fabian took the place of the party.
“What is it?”
“A part of the mast was damaged by a lightning strike, so I think I will have to go back to Hades Port and repair it.”
“I have to go back to the Viscount’s port and make repairs. Shall I say so?”
Elio nodded.
I wanted to stay longer, but I didn’t insist because I knew there was no point in my experience.
next day.
The magic sailboat entered the port of Hades in the setting sun.
Elio, who was looking at the dock from the bow, said to Fabian.
“Can’t you see the task force?”
“Isn’t it because we suddenly returned unexpectedly?”
“The people who work at the pier must have told you?”
“Is that so? There seems to be a lot of people in the port… Could it be that he withdrew?”
“I’m gone, I’m gone.”
Elio was sure the task force had gone.
There was nothing to find out by spreading feelings in the harbor.
The wharf was teeming with fishermen and harbour-dwellers. That’s a look that didn’t exist when the special forces were roaming around.
When the magical sailboat docked at the mooring, Elio and the others got off the ship and headed for the Sea Breeze Tavern.
As expected, ordinary citizens were going in and out of the sea breeze tavern.
Seeing Elio and the others, Sally ran out with a big smile on her face.
“oh! Welcome! You came early this time?”
Fabian asked the woman who was welcoming.
“Did the task force leave?”
“Yes, a baron from the Grand Duchess of Knauf came today, and I left the room after meeting him.”
“A baron from the Grand Duchy of Knauf?”
Shelley glanced back and whispered.
“I heard that it was an investigator sent by His Highness the Grand Duke.”
