Chapter 197,
Chapter 63. Escape (2)
“You can’t fly!”
Jin reflexively screamed.
But the ship was already bouncing like a cannonball and rushing toward the sea.
“Don’t worry, this won’t be affected by the empire’s magic!”
A ship has no wings and is not a living being. Also, Cosmos was well aware that Order No. 7 was not really ‘flying’, so it was not detected by the red link barrier.
Riding a boat in the sky is not a common experience.
Jin, a runcandel, Casimir, once an imperial family, Alisa, who was on a special assignment, Siris, the successor of the Secret Palace, and dragons who have lived for thousands of years, all experienced it for the first time.
Aaaah-!
It was temporarily blown up by the water pressure of the water stream blocked by the wall, but Jin and the others couldn’t keep their mouths shut.
My God, did a mere pirate prepare something like this?
Jin and his colleagues were thinking that way. Cosmos has already ‘installed’ a ship in the basement of the island so that they can escape at any time in case of an emergency.
“Ha ha ha ha! I’ll make a dish with this taste!”
Order No. 7 Then, from No. 1 to No. 6, it would have been used in this way.
The coworkers couldn’t even hear Cosmos’ boisterous laugh. It was the first time in my life that I was going through the enormous water pressure that my boat was shot like a cannonball, and my soul was exhausted.
On the other hand, it seemed familiar to the pirates. All of them were screaming like excited monkeys and enjoying the unbelievable speed of a ship.
The cheeks were blown away by the wind. When I opened my eyes facing the wind, my eyelids were about to turn over, and my hair became scattered in an instant.
I looked down and saw ships.
It was the fleet of the Bellado Empire that was besieging the island. The people standing on the deck of the fleet were also raising their heads in a daze, as if it were ridiculous.
Order No. 7 passed them like a bird. Even after passing them, it flew for a long time and was falling towards the sea far away.
It is an unreal landscape. The commanders of the fleet couldn’t even tell them to fire their guns or magic at Order 7.
I’m just stunned for a while with a face asking what that is.
“Ha ha ha, hold onto it as it falls now!”
Before Cosmos shouted, Jin and his colleagues were already sticking their fingers into the cracks in the deck.
It was doubtful whether the ship would be able to withstand the shock. If the sea does not embrace it, Order No. 7 will be shattered.
However, the only suspects were Jin, his colleagues, and the fleet of the vassal state of Bellado.
Aaaaang…! Foolish…!
As if a tidal wave had come, water streams gushed out in all directions.
It was the result of the ship falling into the sea, and at the same time there was a sound of something breaking. It was the sound of the ship shaking and parts breaking.
Debris splashed. There were so many pieces of wood that I wondered if this was okay, and the whole deck was broken and bounced off.
Even so, the pirates were busy laughing and talking. I heard a voice saying that this is much better than last time.
It was really broken, though.
Surprisingly, when the rising waters subsided, Order No. 7 moved forward deftly and leisurely. The keel was in good shape.
“Huh…”
Jin let out a sigh involuntarily. Looking back, the island and fleet looked as small as a pea.
“Do you know how our pirates survive among monsters like you? It’s because of this. In the sea, not even the imperial fleet can pursue us.”
“The boat seems to be quite broken, but there seems to be a crackling sound coming from the keel. The deck is all broken, can this ship really evade pursuit?”
Cosmos patted Jin on the shoulder and smiled.
“Then the sea loves us. Don’t worry, they’ll be dotted in half an hour after the urgent repairs are done, and you won’t see them in an hour. Start working on the repair tank. Sailors wake up and hold on to the steering wheel!”
The pirates, who had been giggling at a word from Cosmos, went to their respective seats in perfect order. The only ones standing there with nothing to do were Jin and Cosmos.
“Amazing. How did you do it?”
“If you try to find out our trade secrets, it will be difficult.”
“But if anyone goes through this, they’ll have no choice but to ask like I did.”
“Khaha, it’s something even Runkandel can’t imitate. This body is not the pirate king for nothing.”
The rest of the co-workers were still in shock.
‘Why on earth do pirates have this ability?’
I wanted to ask that, but I held back. He seemed to take great pride in his profession as a pirate, but now it was his turn to say thank you.
“Anyway, thanks to you, I got out of the island comfortably.”
“Isn’t it a greeting from Heung? You wouldn’t have escaped if it wasn’t for me. I swore to keep my promise, but I have to be able to believe it.”
“As long as my colleagues and I get to land safely, there will be no problem in fulfilling our promise. What’s the route?”
“I will go to the vicinity of Zane’s kingdom without a stopover and then replenish supplies on the nearby island of the allies. It only takes 2 weeks. Get off at that time and go your own way. How much money will you give me?”
“More than you might imagine. To the point where the money I used to earn in the competition field feels like a pittance.”
It wasn’t worth paying more than that.
Running away on a Murakan or Quikantel was the worst move, and even the red link barrier spread. I was prepared to lose some of my comrades by swimming, but thankfully I ran into Cosmos.
And that’s not all. Jin met Beradin and Dante thanks to participating in the Cosmos’ Competition Grounds last year, and obtained a map of the Colon Ruins.
In fact, Cosmos was no different from Jin’s irreplaceable benefactor.
Fizik Cosmos burst into laughter.
“I burned it because I had no other options, but… Not good for Runcandel. Isn’t Runkandel’s way of just killing us once it’s safe? He’s not even a client, he’s just a pirate.”
“Would you like me to do that?”
“That is what it means. Unlike us, you take oaths seriously, so let’s not change our words now. Hehe, I’m looking forward to it. Don’t forget that we agreed to pay off the debt and pay the gratuity separately.”
“Of course you did what was worth it.”
* * *
Cosmos, the irreplaceable benefactor of the Pirate King, did not go into a fit of rage.
That is, even when it was announced that there could be a pursuit by not only the Bella Empire, but also giant powers such as the Bement Special Lease Corps and Zipple.
“They follow us every day anyway. And miss every time like now.”
“I might send a dragon, but this time. No matter how fast Order No. 7 is, it can’t outrun the dragon.”
“You think we are fools? I will live in hiding for a few years with the money you decided to send me. How many islands are there in the world, how are you going to search them all? So don’t worry and spend the money well.”
June 18, 1797.
The first thing Jin did when all his colleagues gathered in Tikan again was to send gold bars to the Cosmos Pirates.
He also wrote a letter. As long as you don’t commit immoral things and eat in moderation, I’ll give you a home for Hufester someday, so think about rehabilitation.
“young master.”
As soon as Gilly saw Jin, his eyes blushed. Jin’s departure to the Great Desert of Mithra and her participation in the operation to steal the compass as soon as she returned were both painful times of waiting for her.
But it didn’t make a fuss. Before being Jin’s nanny, she recognized her as a soldier at a glance. The fact that Jin is really strong now.
“You have grown up. You got what you wanted.”
Gilly smiled as he held out the golden compass to Jin.
“What is this, everyone said goodbye to life?”
“While you were away, I worked with the turkey crew to figure out how to use it. Just like other artifacts, it works by injecting magic power into it. There are many other stories to tell, but you might want to look at this first, right?”
“Yeah, I want to check it out soon and eat the food Gilly cooks for the first time in a while.”
“I will prepare it as soon as it is over.”
Holding the compass, Jin calmly began injecting mana.
Ching Chi Chi Ching Kirik…!
The parts rotated inside the compass, and the next moment, the magic reflected from the surface of the compass drew a map in the air.
‘Is this… a continent?’
At first glance, there was nothing much different from a normal travel artifact map. Except that the map is a bit bigger and the colors are a bit stronger.
But red dots floating all over the continent.
It made the group admire.
The red dots were concentrated in the magic federation of Lutero, the land of Bement and Zipple. It was rarely seen in the Hufester allies, and was intermittently distributed in other areas.
“Could it be that all of them are contractors…!”
“I think so, Sir Casimir. Certainly, almost all of them are gathered on the side of Zipple and Bement.”
It didn’t tell the location of the contractor very precisely. The red dots were only signs indicating the number of contractors, and all of them were shining only in the center of each area.
He did not even tell us the appearance or condition of the contractor. However, areas with red dots meant that there was a contractor, so that alone was enough for a force of about Zipple.
It was possible to find it by narrowing down the scope using goods and manpower.
In particular, if the land is small and has only one red dot, like the Mamit Lawless Zone shown by the compass, the search will be very easy.
On the other hand, the huge continents with many shining red dots seemed difficult to find even with a compass.
“I looked at it several times before the boy arrived, but the location of the red dot is subtly changing every day. Probably because the contractor is moving.”
I got goosebumps.
“You really did well that me and Enya Yuria left Tikan half a year ago. I don’t know what the Zipples would have done if they had stayed here.”
Zipple must have been aware of the fact that there were ‘three’ contractors in Tikan from the beginning.
Tican Free City is an island. Therefore, unlike other continents, if red dots were distributed, there was nothing to narrow the range. Not just one, but several.
“If it had been there, three red dots would have been shining brightly on the teacan. Just like now… um?”
Jin looked at Tikan on the map and stopped talking.
For some reason, not a single red dot was shining on the teacan. Even though all three contractors, Jin Yulia and Enya, are here.
“No way… is this fake? Why is there no red dot on the teacan?”
At Jin’s words, all of his colleagues looked at the same place.
“That is strange. It seemed that there was a function to search for a contractor. After a red dot appeared on the side of the Shucheron Kingdom three days ago, there was a small article this morning saying that a person who made a contract with the Shell God appeared in the Shucheron Kingdom….” “The Shell
God? Was it called Olmango or Olungo? So, you mean even those miscellaneous scenes are marked with a red dot? That friend is so incompetent that it’s hard to even say he’s a god.”
Murakan snorted, but all the other colleagues had stiff expressions.
“…something is strange. According to Gilly, the goods are real, but why does it say that Tikan doesn’t have a contractor?”
Quikantel, who had been watching quietly, looked at Jin and Murakan as if he remembered something.
“You two go out for a second.”
“Why all of a sudden?”
“Get out at once.”
“Where?”
“Out of Tican.”
