Episode 62. Compass Stealing Operation (1)
The money was collected again and handed over to the Watertail. The enemy tribesmen couldn’t watch the scene because they ran away.
“Thank you, thank you. human!”
As soon as they arrived at the Yuca Yuca Market, the watertail beastmen who had been with Jin explained the incident to their fellow tribesmen, and the representatives of the Dark Flame and the village expressed their gratitude.
“Go to sleep for a day, human. The watertail party is hot.”
“Sorry, I’m in a hurry, I have to go right away. See you next time.”
“Eat this and go!”
The Multail tribe hastily grilled the fish. Twenty fish, well-brown, disappeared as if they were hiding their eyes.
“Oh right. Darkspark, could you dye your hair?”
“Why are you dyeing your hair all of a sudden?”
“Because I need it.”
“We can’t. Wait a minute. I’m bringing the golden snow tribe dyer.”
The Geumseoljok of the general store came down through the secret passage.
“Oh man. Our dyeing technique is good, so it’s a bit expensive. It’s not comparable to human guys’ crappy coloring games. The price starts at this level…” In the midst of this, the
Geumseol Tribe tried to overcharge, but the Dark Flame and the Watertail Tribe came out. When they told the Geumseol Tribe that Jin had subjugated the enemy tribe, the Geumseol Tribe smiled.
“If that happened, I could do it for free. Ha, I wish I had seen those scumbags with my own eyes!”
Dyeing was over soon.
After saying goodbye to them, Jin used a secret passage to get out of the land of the beasts.
* * *
The afternoon of the last day of May 1797.
Jin was able to reach the southern island of the Bellado Empire.
‘This town is still the same.’
This nameless island is a land that has become a playground for pirates as it is vaguely outside the territorial waters of the Bellado Empire.
The place Jin visited to participate in the Cosmos arena. Even in broad daylight, the streets were mingled with drug addicts and aristocrats who were crazy about gambling.
“Hee hee hee!”
A scruffy man who appeared to be an addict and homeless walked around the camp with a grotesque laugh. Beggars like this were common in the port, but they were mainly mercenaries who participated in the arena of competition and lost a lot.
However, this man who was laughing as if he had lost his mind was someone Jin knew well. So Jin couldn’t help but be happy to see him and feel sorrowful.
‘It’s Jet… crazy.’
Z.
He had come here about two months in advance and mingled with the beggars of the port.
It was to fulfill the role of a secret contact. In what sense should I say versatile? He had become a perfect beggar to the extent that it was difficult to tell the truth from a little distance.
“Hee hee hee! Pick up a penny there! Whoop!”
Jet, who pushed the other beggars away, held up the barrel.
Inside the box was a piece of paper.
(How are you Bill. The board with 3 nails stuck under the bed in Room 203 of the Saeburi Inn)
After checking the note and selecting a few fairy tales, the beggars behind the jet cheered. Wow!
“Hee-hoo! You will be blessed!”
As Jet retreated, the other beggars ran after him like hungry ghosts. It seemed that he was playing the role of a benevolent king.
‘You did a great job recruiting me. It was a jingling bad relationship in my previous life.’
I smiled and went to the Saeburi Inn.
The owner, who was slacking off in his chair, waved his hand when the door opened.
“No room. Gache elsewhere.”
“How are you Bill?”
Then the owner gave me the key to room 203.
As soon as I entered the room, I pushed the bed away and tore off the three-nailed plank. A thin red wooden board and a letter were sandwiched under the plank.
(It’s been a while sir. All the other colleagues arrived a month or two weeks ago and settled in different inns.
Everyone is safe and they don’t notice at all. I’ll let you
know what I know so far.
Silver Anzu’s great mage, Chukon Tolderer, five presumed 8-star wizards, and five presumed raid leader-level White Wolves warriors.
In addition, we cannot rule out the possibility that there are many assassins, snipers, and other talented people in disguise
. Nothing has happened. It looks like they’re going to show up on the day of the operation. However, it’s likely that the powerful in disguise, like Kingelo, are already in place
. It is the same as the gambling hall in the abandoned mansion in the north. The enclosed red wooden board is the ticket to the gambling hall. The
escape location after the operation is also the same for all 1 2 3.
On the back of the letter, the address of the inn where the colleagues are staying is written.
Oh, and Sir Casimir and Murah With Mr. Khan’s consent, Mr. Siris of the secret palace decided to participate in the operation. He said that he would be useful as he had a lot of guerrilla experience in assassinating spies. I
returned to Tikan in advance today after delivering this note to my lord. Dear Gilly My regards. Good luck sir!)
My colleagues were all staying at different inns. It was a measure to avoid being seen as a suspicious gang in the eyes of Ziple and Kingelo.
‘One 9-star wizard, five 8-star wizards, five stormtroopers, and five White Wolves…’ It
was a power that could overturn at least one suitable kingdom.
‘Zipple’s side will also bring at least this much. Tomorrow night, the filthy pirates’ playground will become the battlefield of the stars.’
It far exceeded what colleagues expected six months ago.
Therefore, an all-out war was not the answer. Although Jin has become stronger, it is still not enough to handle them all.
However, if Jin hadn’t grown up, he would have had to seriously reconsider carrying out the operation.
It all depended on Jin’s choice whether to carry out the operation or withdraw. He kissed Jin six months ago so that he would return quietly if he did not show up at the casino.
Of course, Jin had no intention of backing down.
‘The fact that they brought in people like this means that the compass is an important item. I’ll take it.’
The operation will be carried out in a guerrilla style anyway, so there will be no all-out war with them.
Even if an all-out war continues.
Maybe it’s something worth fighting for. It took only a moment for this small island to collapse when 8 or 9-star wizards or warriors unleashed all sorts of magic and technology.
It’s just that we all die together. Not only islands, but all ships will be destroyed, and a whirlpool will spread in the middle of the sea. Just as Luna erased the uninhabited island of Bement from the map with a single blow from her heart sword, Jeokmoon.
‘Besides, if the fight escalates, Runcandel and Beament will sniff it, and that’s what Kingelo and Ziple are most concerned about.’
Neither Runcandel nor Beament were yet clearly aware of the existence of the compass. If you knew, the people of the two great powers should have been scattered all over the island.
Bradamante and Sigmund.
Jin just quietly sharpened his two swords.
* * *
The next day, the first day of June, six o’clock in the evening.
Jin visited the gambling house in the abandoned mansion on the north side of the island. From the dark golden hair dyed by the Gold Snow Tribe to the thick makeup that makes the two swords hanging from the waist of the fancy dress ‘extremely bluff’.
He looked like a common idiot from an aristocratic family who had a lot of money and liked to show off.
‘It’s been quite a while since makeup was popular in aristocratic social halls, so I don’t know why they do it.’
The thick powder and rouge made her pores feel stuffy as if they were clogged. Her face reflected in the mirror almost looked like a woman, but her musculature was developed, so it felt somehow bizarre. It was the power of Geumseoljok’s special cosmetics.
-It seems like they need some kind of disguise, but in the case of friends, they are so pretty that they look like women when they put on cosmetics. Why don’t you just dye your hair and dress up as a woman? nobody will know!
– A little bit about that.
-Anyway, make sure to wear makeup! Our products are different from people’s sloppy techniques, so if you spread them roughly and apply them, you can create a plausible production. Apply this to your cheeks, this to your lips, this to your forehead, this to your neck.
Unlike Jin, who feels awkward inside, the people gathered at the gambling hall, both men and women, were busy looking at Jin.
I have never seen such a pretty Confucius. I want to play with him tonight. If I lose money and feel depressed, I need to borrow it
. There have been quite a few times when I’ve been noticed for my face, but it’s been a long time since I’ve been so noisy. Even men with free tastes are openly showing their interest.
“It’s a face I haven’t seen before, but when you enter, the gloomy gambling hall is brightened up. Nice to meet you. My name is Zelia.”
However, the whispers stopped in an instant as a black-haired woman approached. Zelia, whose real name was Siris Endorma, appeared two weeks ago and instantly became a celebrity at the gambling house.
At first, Jin didn’t recognize her. It wasn’t as much as Boubard’s sculpting skills, but the seals made in the Secret Palace were also amazing.
In that way, all the colleagues were wearing the face of the Secret Palace. Except for Murakan, who is in the arms of Siris as the Butterfly Runkandel.
“The marbles are the best here, Gongja. It’s like a special product. You don’t seem to know the rules, can I tell you something?”
Jin gently pushed her away.
“it’s okay.”
“I can’t help it if I don’t like it. However, if you go to the marbles game without knowing anything, you will be robbed, so go where you are familiar. Whether it’s single or dice. When you think of me while playing, you come to the marbles board.”
On the Marbles Board, his colleagues were gathered on the Singer Board and the Dice Board, which were camouflaged Ziffle and Kingelo’s forces, so he meant to look around and return.
“Let’s do that.”
“I hope you come not too late, because it will soon be night.”
To the people gathered at the gambling table, Zelia sounded like an ambassador who was playing tricks on Jin.
After Zelia left, real flirting people gathered one by one. Ignoring them lightly, Jin walked around the single and dice boards, taking in each enemy one by one.
‘Even with Kingelo, the Zipple guys put a lot of effort into it. Who knows that the wizards of Ziffle, who pierce the sky with high pride, are waiting here disguised as gamblers.’
As expected, all of Ziffle’s wizards seemed to be top class. Just as he was about to look for a familiar face, two giants wearing robes moved their gaze toward Jin.
A height approaching 3 meters. Of course, it’s not an ordinary giant.
It was a white tribe.
They tilted their heads as if something was strange, then got up from their chairs and began to stride toward Jin.
“You there. Can I talk to you for a second?”
It was because of the aura of the Myeongwang family.
‘I’m hiding it as much as possible, but did you feel it?’
Jin looked at them and replied:
“Aren’t you the White Rang? I never expected to see you guys at the gambling table!”
