183. A ghost ship!?
The information that could be obtained in the city was delivered by the agent as a report, so Leon only had to move.
I rode the marble and came out to the middle of the sea, and dipped the new token I received from the queen into the sea.
Soon, something started to come closer, causing a splash of water.
‘uh?’
However, the closer I got, the more strange it felt.
‘It’s too big!?’
It looked small when it was far away, but that was an illusion. The moment he comes to the place where Rion is and floats above the water.
‘… … Is it a small island?’
Size over 10m. It was as if a small island had emerged.
And water spurted out between his head and back.
Ooh-!
The strange cry of the guy that made my whole chest resonate, and the water spouting out like a fountain and glistening in the sunlight. The appearance was phenomenal, fantastic.
There were fishmen riding on the back of such a guy.
“Greetings to the Queen’s agent!”
As soon as the fishmen saw Leone, they greeted him politely.
“Yes. hello.”
Leon greeted them and looked around.
About 20 fishmen and a whale.
It was a small number of people, but it was enough for exchange and surveillance.
“I’m sorry for calling you out so suddenly.”
“no. The will of the agent is the will of the queen. We are only following the Queen.”
When the captain came out like this, there was no need to explain every word.
Leon immediately got to the point.
“good. I’d like to ask you a favor. Please find the ghost ship.”
It will take some time with 20 fishmen, but finding one boat is a piece of cake.
However, an unexpected answer came.
“I will see you.”
suddenly?
“Do you mean that you know where you are?”
“Yes. Those friends, that’s why they were born, they’re really good guys.”
“… … Are they good guys?”
It was a ghost ship that was made by fraud infiltrating the ship and crew that sank in the sea.
In the first place, these were structures that could not be good guys.
“Yes. They also removed all the barnacles from the blacks and traded with us.”
Really, the world was going crazy.
“You also traded with ghosts?”
“That’s right. I received some pretty good quality stuff.”
Since he robbed the Pirate King of his fortune, it must have been a good thing.
The question was what the ghosts needed.
“What did you buy?”
“I bought food.”
“ah. The ghost has bought food.”
When he was about to say that he would not be able to eat it, Leon forced himself to endure it.
Needing food means that there are humans on board the ship, but how do humans board the ghost ship?
That was nonsense.
“I guess there were humans on the ghost ship?”
“Yes. There was.”
Oh God.
What the hell is this ghost ship?
Leon beat the trouble.
Whether it was a human or a ghost, it was something that could be beaten with divine power.
“Can you guide me?”
“Yes. Please go.”
It was something to go and see.
* * *
Unlike the West Sea, pirates were able to settle down in the East Sea thanks to the characteristics of the East Sea with many small islands.
The place where the ghost ship was hiding was also one of the islands in the East Sea.
The place where they were informed that there was a ghost ship was a sea cave on a small island.
‘A ghost ship looks like a perfect place to live.’
The island looked gloomy, and the sea cave felt even gloomy beyond gloomy.
Rion rode the orb and flew into the cave without hesitation.
“We will follow.”
The fishmen followed Leone. When I went inside like that, I saw a ghost ship. It was an old and shabby boat, but its size rivaled that of the latest sailboats.
Ghosts began to gather on top of the ghost ship, probably seeing Leone and the fishmen coming inside.
‘It really hits the target.’
The ghosts only stared at them and did not show any hostile reactions.
“Agent. Can we send a signal?”
“Is there such a thing?”
“That’s right.”
“Try it.”
The fisherman immediately shouted at the ghost ship.
“We are here!”
Wow. Leon barely held back the exclamation that was about to burst out. The signal seen by the ghost ship was none other than ‘greeting’.
“How are you? What are you here for today?”
Even the answer came from the ghost ship. However, it was a voice I had heard many times.
“We have guests!”
“A guest?”
The person who appeared on the boat was none other than ‘Black’.
Black. Why are you here!?
“Director!?”
Rion is always gentle and kind, but today was different.
“Come down now!”
“Yep! I will go!”
Black came downstairs. It wasn’t just Black who had to be scolded here.
“I know there is, so come out.”
At Leon’s words, the black guy’s shadow shuddered, and a masked agent jumped out.
“Greetings, the parish priest.”
Leon stared at the two, then opened his mouth.
“What the hell is this… … !”
Rion held back the absurdity and anger that were about to burst out.
Looking at Black with a sullen expression like a dog in the rain, it was because I wondered what he was doing.
“after… … no. First of all, are you okay? Are you not hurt anywhere?”
“Yes. I have been in good health.”
“Me too.”
Black seemed to be doing really well, but the agent felt very tired.
I lived on a ghost ship, and it was strange to be black.
Leon immediately used divine power.
‘Hey Siri. Take a look at the agent’s body with divine power.’
[All right.]
Divine power flowed from Leon’s body and wrapped around the agent’s body. Soon, the faint tiredness on the agent’s face disappeared.
“thank you.”
Now it was time to clear up the many questions that had accumulated.
“Then let’s talk. What kind of situation is this?”
* * *
“This whole story started after learning from Mr. Oren how to think differently.”
“A change of thinking?”
“That’s right. It’s a way to turn the obvious upside down and think about it.”
It seemed that I was traveling while thinking of my own.
“I thought of dungeons. If there are so many dungeons on the continent, how many dungeons are there in the sea that is bigger than the continent?”
“A good start.”
If other people thought this, it would be close to crazy, but it’s completely different if it’s Black who drives the case.
It was a nice change of perspective.
“So I came to the sea. On the way, I met many people and many things happened. Especially… … .”
Black’s Jwajungwoodol journey was about to begin.
“I will only ask for the core. The ghost ship alone is overwhelming right now.”
“ah. All right.”
The story skipped over to the arrival at the sea.
“As soon as I got to the sea, I moved right away.”
“Five. Did you explore the dungeon?”
“no. I bought a small boat and went out to sea right away.”
Really, Amazing Black.
How on earth did he intend to find the dungeon in the open sea?
Leon asked the agent next to him.
“Didn’t you dry it?”
“sorry. Mr. Oren told me to prioritize all of Mr. Black’s judgments.”
oh did. I did it. I said so.
It reminded me of what he said when he was Oren.
“Leon. It may sound strange, but I was using my gut.”
Besides, Black’s ability to get entangled in events was wrapped up in the bullshit of intuition. In any case, it didn’t go wrong even if it was intuition.
‘This makes me even more angry.’
I couldn’t say that I was wrong, and even the results were nice. This was Black’s power.
“I know. So?”
“It was attacked and sunk by pirates.”
The story was spectacular once.
“How did you think you were attacked?”
“We didn’t come close, we attacked from a distance. The pros of naval warfare were different.”
Again, it was not a close-range battle. If a naval battle was fought at a distance, there was no way to resist with a boat.
Pirates were also unusual.
“What happened after it sank?”
“Actually, it wasn’t that dangerous. It was also possible to swim right in and attack the pirate ship.”
That was right.
It wasn’t really dangerous for a person as strong as Black to fall into the sea.
In the first place, it was not a naval battle, but if the guys had tried to capture it, Black would have won unconditionally.
“But something drew me to it. I fell into deeper water, as if I had fallen into a swamp from which I could not escape.”
The flow of this story was the flow of ‘giyeon’ seen by Black’s side.
‘Oh God. How did you create such a monster?’
For today, Rion also truly sought God.
I came out to sea and was accidentally attacked. Is there a chance there?
Is that a ghost ship?!
“I fell into the depths of the sea like that, and the energy of death within me moved.”
From then on, I felt like I knew what had happened even without hearing the story.
“So you’re saying there’s a ghost ship?”
“That’s right. The spirits of ships and sailors that sank at sea became ghost ships.”
“So that ship belongs to Black?”
“That’s right.”
The captain of the ghost ship was Black.
“Then, was it Black who caught the pirate king?”
“Pirate King… … Are you talking?”
“It must have been loaded with treasure.”
“ah! Did you mean that treasure ship?”
Wow. crazy, really
Still, he was the pirate king, the loser of one region, but to Black, it was just a treasure ship.
“That was the pirate king. I didn’t even think about it. I wasn’t very good at it.”
“Are you talking about naval warfare?”
“Yes. He’s worse than our crew, that’s why he’s the Pirate King. It seems like he has no reputation.”
It wasn’t.
As the darkness said, the pirate king was not an outstanding person, but that was only the standard for the darkness.
If you were incompetent in the first place, it would not have been possible to become a loser in a region.
Leone has his eyes on the ghost ship.
“Isn’t the ghost ship so good that you might think that the pirate king is no match?”
A ghost ship created by combining countless ships and the spirits of the crew. The final weapon on the sea made with the power of death.
I was thinking of just purifying it and cleaning it up quickly, but this is a different story.
Rion took out an artificial god from her bosom.
It was one of the few jewels that contained the energy of ‘death’.
“Take this.”
“no! this is?!”
Black, who handles the energy of death, recognized the true value of the jewel.
“It was something I was able to make thanks to Oren-nim’s help. It is an artificial god that contains the energy of death.”
“… … This is really great.”
That was a really valuable item in the current situation. The total amount of death is small, so it takes a very long time to make.
Still, it was well worth the investment.
“Can you strengthen the ghost ship with that?”
“Are you saying I can use this?”
“Yes. it’s okay. Since the captain is black, there is nothing to worry about.”
What if the ‘ghost ship’, which is still good enough to steam the pirate king, is strengthened?
“I hear you’re clearing out pirates, so why don’t you try doing what you’re already doing? For the sake of the world.”
“Chief of the parish… … thank you.”
The plan has changed. I will grab the East Sea from this side.
