Episode 222 I love the sea! (3)
“No matter how hard it is, the Holy Son took the initiative to sell the name of the Goddess.”
“If you have any complaints, I will speak to you.”
“There has to be a certain level of comfort!”
Iriel got angry, but Ray responded by picking his ears.
“Don’t be so angry. Wrinkles will increase.”
“Because there is none!”
“Even if you sell your name, if you look at the results, it’s something that will help the kingdom. Doesn’t Goddess Gaia say something as conclusive proof of that?”
Speaking like that, the one who had nothing to say was Iriel.
“That is true.”
Let’s face it, Ray taps his chest.
“This deserves more praise.”
A rare saint who took the lead in selling the name of the goddess and wished for praise.
“Umm… but…”
“Let’s go. I need you.”
“…what exactly do you need me for? If it’s Ray, it’s enough alone.”
Ray, who is good on his own, answers while packing his backpack.
“The thing that will save me if I die.”
“…yes?”
“It’s called ‘hero lineage’. It was created in ancient times and has been maintained until now. It’s not an easy thing to do with the power of God who did it on his own. He must have accumulated enough strength and wisdom.”
She nodded meekly.
“I guess so. So you’re taking me to prepare for the eventuality?”
“yes. The bloodline might be so strong that even I can’t control it.”
“If it were in the middle of the sea, it would be around the edge.”
Iriel sighed as he spoke.
“Whew… I see. Let me follow you. If it’s for the sake of the kingdom, it can’t be helped that the return of the troops is delayed a little.”
Looking at her drinking tea, Ray tilted his head.
“What are you talking about? I will leave my troops behind.”
“….”
She froze as she savored the scent of tea.
“Are you leaving? Then what about the boat?”
“I should go and get it.”
“Do you know how to drive a boat?”
“You should go and learn.”
“There is no preparation!”
“Sometimes you have to bump into your body. Now is the time.”
The excuses are of a very high standard.
After all, isn’t it the sound of going out to the sea where strong waves await without any preparation!
Iriel, whose complexion turned pale, shook his head.
“It must be crazy.”
“Prepare by tomorrow morning. You have to start early so you can be on time.”
“…time?”
“Three weeks and two days? You have to go around all three places in it.”
What is that all of a sudden!
To go around all the seas in 23 days!
Looking at Iriel’s serious frown, Ray continued.
“I can’t see it, but it looks like there are several devices in the sea. Otherwise there would be no ocean current like that. Perhaps the reason no one has ever been to that sea is that they all died before they even got there. The distance is too far to go with magic, so mana consumption will be extreme.”
“I don’t want to die yet!”
“That goes for me too. So you have to hurry up. There seems to be a road in the sea, but it closes in about three weeks.”
“What if it closes?”
“There will be huge waves. Powerful enough to shatter a ship… If you don’t want to swim away, you’d better stick to the deadline.”
Iriel shouted at him who was talking quietly as if to warn him.
“Ah really! You only ask me to do this!”
As soon as she finishes talking, she hurriedly starts to pack her things.
There was no time to drink tea right now.
If you’re not on time, you’ll get a death sentence on the sea!
That’s what Ray thought the same way.
When you go out to the pier, you need to learn how to drive a boat as well as save a boat.
So, the time was tighter.
I made a simple area survey of the port and a list of necessary items, but I don’t know what else there is.
If you think about that, the time you don’t have will be even less.
‘In case they didn’t know, I ordered the receptionists to collect at least one more piece of information about the sea route… but I’m worried about how much I can find out.’
It seems that he doesn’t trust the intelligence gatherers who can be counted on his hands.
He thought as he looked at the busy Iriel.
‘Even if I’m in a hurry like that, I’ll do everything I need to prepare. I’ll have to tell the captain to return to the Holy Land first.’
It’s not too late to leave in the morning.
No, in fact, it was quite risky to leave now, but I am fully aware that moving at night is inefficient.
That’s why I want to leave in the morning even though I don’t have time.
After looking around for a while, he quietly left Iriel’s room.
* * *
The morning was bright with the warm sunlight shining brightly.
The chirping of mountain birds and the sound of flowing streams delight the ears.
Leaving behind the huge gate that gave off an antique wooden scent, Ray and Iriel set out for the pier.
I have already finished talking to the captain.
As expected, he easily complied with the saying that everything is God’s will.
“Take off your clothes and put them in your backpack. There’s nothing good about drawing attention.”
“All right. But more than that…”
“How are you going to get the ship?”
“You know my heart too well.”
“All your thoughts are there.”
Rey answered, avoiding the cold gaze.
“When I get to the pier, I’m thinking of meeting people and asking for them.”
“What can I do… I don’t think I’ll have enough money to buy a big boat…”
She shakes her head in concern.
“We go in a small boat.”
“…a small boat?”
“If you apply strengthening magic and lightweight magic, it will be pretty good. Rather, large ships are prone to being broken by waves.”
If it is a sturdy ship made with modern ship technology, there is a high risk of capsizing or being destroyed because it is simply a ship made of wood.
That’s why a small boat would be more helpful here.
Why didn’t they say that small peppers are spicy!
The two of them took off their clothes and changed into plain leather clothes and started speeding up.
Originally, they boasted strong divine power and mana.
Once I made up my mind and started accelerating, I went at an unbelievable speed.
Did I just run for three hours? The salty smell of the sea wafted from afar.
“It’s the sea!”
The scenery of the seaside sparkling brilliantly under the sunlight was a beauty itself.
The towering clouds and clear waters greeted the two.
Happiness could be read in the lively plaza and the faces of the lively people.
It can’t be helped that the speed of the excitement of the heart is getting more and more.
Arriving at the pier not long after, they exclaimed in admiration.
“It has a different taste from the eastern continent.”
“Iknow, right. The Celia Kingdom trade port was also beautiful, but I like this place more.”
I agree.
The spectacle created by the clear sea and the cool shade makes the heart beat.
The two of them, who had stopped and marveled, came to their senses belatedly and snooped here and there.
The first place we headed to was a large store with a long wooden pier.
It looks like you can get a boat or hire a boatman.
Just in case, I mentioned a boatman, and the owner asked where I was going.
“Where are you trying to go?”
Ray put his finger on the map.
“This is it.”
As soon as you check the location, the owner’s expression changes to an ugly one.
With a face like this, even bandits would be enough to make a living.
“You want me to die now! Get out of my shop right now!”
At the first store, I was kicked out like that.
Iriel gave an awkward smile.
“It’s not going well.”
“Because it’s still the first time. After all, it would be easier to throw away the idea of saving the boatman. I should make sure to learn things as planned.”
“You don’t know how to speak.”
Ray, who had good ears to hear only what he wanted to hear, didn’t care at all about what Iriel said.
The second place I headed to is a small shop on the same pier.
It’s not shabby, but compared to the shops around it, it’s a frugal place.
When I went inside, I saw a handsome man.
“Welcome!”
He is a very fighting man.
“I’m trying to get a small boat and learn the material.”
“There is a boat… but you are learning materials?”
“yes.”
“How long do you think the deadline is?”
“It’s four days long.”
“Four days?”
The man’s expression immediately darkened.
“It is difficult to do the material properly even if you study for a year! Each water has a different nature and a different path, but I will cook it in four days!”
“That’s right.”
“You’ve done very well!”
“I am a little better.”
Ray, who recognized the sarcasm as a compliment, scratched his head shyly.
“Sounds like four days, you crazy bastard!”
“If you look at the long term, it’s four days. It’s best to learn everything in two days.”
He spits out crazy sounds with a serious expression on his face.
Admiring the madman’s bold will, the man spat out a laugh.
“Heh heh heh…”
“I’ll pay the maximum. Would that be possible?”
“Nonsense!”
In response to his angry voice, Ray changed his tone and grumbled.
“Sheesh. It doesn’t work in the end.”
“A guy like you can’t learn for four years, not three days!”
“is it so? Would you like to bet?”
Ray’s eyes lit up, and he set the leather pouch down on the table.
There were three glittering gold coins.
As the man gulped down, Ray let go of his luck.
“Three gold coins in Learn in Three Days.”
“Umm….”
“The mister taught me a small boat and material in I can’t learn in three days. Well, according to what you said, isn’t it a bet that wins unconditionally? I told you that I am not worthy of learning for four years.”
I don’t know what I believe and come out so strong, but honestly, there’s no way I can make everything that people teach me my own in three days.
I thought this bet was in my favor.
Besides, it’s been a long time since I’ve been coveting gold coins that sparkle in front of my eyes.
The man cleared his throat and spoke softly.
“Hmmmm… but there is such a thing as if, right? If I add one more gold coin, I think my heart will be moved…”
“It’s not difficult.”
He added another gold coin onto the table.
Now, it was Iriel who was impatient.
she said urgently.
“Le Ray! What are you trying to do! Half of my entire fortune!”
Like a wife trying to dissuade her husband from gambling, she shook her head with a desperate look in her eyes.
Hana Rei doesn’t seem to have any intention of quitting.
“don’t worry. I will win this bet.”
He grinned and tapped his leather pouch.
“Even if you do this, you won’t run away, will you? I could play for two years for four gold coins.”
The man also smiles at his provocation.
“Heh heh. Little boy… don’t underestimate the sea man.”
The bet between the two was established like that.
