Episode 117

First of all, to find the seal, I had to find Count Rudeac.
A seal is an item that is completed by receiving the protection of the earth for a long time.
If it cannot be retrieved, a new seal must be created, which in itself costs a great deal of money.
“I don’t know if he’s dead yet.”
Lian immediately left the palace and headed for the artificial lake.
“This lake is an artificial lake?”
The vice-captain was startled.
This is because the size of the lake is quite large.
It must have cost a lot to build, but it was right next to the palace, so it was like Altoran.
What would it be like to build a building here?
“More than that… What corpses are these?”
Dried corpses on the shore of the lake.
It was abandoned at random, as if no one was managing it.
“Because of the monster that lives here.”
“no way… Is that what the monster is talking about?”
The vice-captain pointed at the lake with his finger.
There was a beautiful woman there.
“yes.”
“A mermaid in a place like this… … .”
Like a seaman, the vice-captain instantly recognized the mermaid just by looking at the upper body.
It was because he was swimming at a speed that humans could not achieve.
Moreover, she was hugging a naked and drooping man… … .
“He is already dead.”
The character seemed to be recognizable even without looking closely.
Shaaa~
The mermaid reached the water’s edge.
“Behind me.”
The vice-captain hurriedly put on his armor and stood in front of Lian.
Mermaids had a beautiful appearance, but were extremely dangerous.
“You don’t have to be vigilant. I am a good mermaid.”
“I’ve never seen a good mermaid.”
The vice-captain sneered.
“Then you are seeing it for the first time.”
“Why don’t you put away what’s in your arms and talk?”
“Oh my goodness. do too much I just came to deliver the seal to the new ruler.”
She quietly placed the seal resembling a clam on the ground.
“And I’m not here because I want to be. It’s on sale. Killing this horny bastard is revenge.”
“For that matter, there are a lot of bodies by the water.”
“Ah~ I have to live too. I also refused at first, but if I can’t maintain my beauty, I’ll be harsh… … .”
Mermaids don’t die.
However, under the premise that it must absorb human spirit.
“It’s hard to maintain your beauty by consuming little by little. At least you have to be a mana user, but such a high-level manpower doesn’t come from anyone other than that horny dog.”
They blamed everything on the dead Count Rudeac.
The dead did not speak, so there was no way to confirm the truth.
“joy!”
When the vice-captain snorted and tried to pick up the seal, the mermaid quickly picked it up again and walked away.
“What are you doing?”
“Promise me. They say they will send me back to the sea.”
“There is also a way to kill you and take it away.”
growled the vice-captain.
“The chase will take a long time. I have no intention of fighting.”
No matter how much the second captain is a mid-level water attribute warrior, it will not be easy to catch a mermaid who decides and runs away from the rear.
“Maybe we drain all the water in the lake.”
Eventually, Ryan stepped in.
“Oh my goodness. You are the new owner of this land. He is a young man with a promising future. Seeing my heart agitated… … .”
“Shut up! monster. Your body will be split in half the day you come near this little boy.”
The vice-captain trembled and wrapped his arms around Lian’s shoulders as if to protect them.
“Ah~ I can’t even imagine.”
“stop it. both.”
Lian took a step forward and said.
“A mermaid is more dangerous than it looks. The kid said you were a monster too.”
“It is dangerous. So, you have to make them allies.”
“hmm?!”
At Lian’s words, the vice-captain tilted his head.
What are you going to do with a mermaid as your companion?
Sailors might like it.
As long as safety is guaranteed.
“oh! Is a man a man even when he is young? You want to possess me?”
“I said I was a colleague, not an owner.”
“Isn’t that what it is? Relationships soon become bondage.”
Lian shook her head.
“When we see a relationship that flows in both directions rather than one-way, we call it a colleague.”
“Then what can my new master do for me in exchange for my freedom?”
“Because I am not the owner. And what I can give you is the liberation of the mermaid queen.”
As Lian spat out the words, the mermaid’s eyes lit up with life.
“How dare you speak of our queen!”
“Wow. Calm down. I have a territory in the new continent. It’s a place called Copana.”
The mermaid’s expression softened slightly at Lian’s words.
“Copana?”
“what. It’s the name we humans gave. If you say Panama by your name, you will know.”
“ah… … .”
Where are the mermaids from? Of course it is the sea.
Of course, not all seas are home.
They see the birthplace as the coastal waters of the New Continent.
“I know that the river tribes are holding your queen captive.”
“How did you know that? The humans living in the Yul Continent wouldn’t know… … .”
A long time ago, a tribe that believed in a river god founded a country and named the country Ztek.
They wanted to monopolize the climate for farming. He kidnapped the mermaid queen who serves the god of the sea.
Incidentally, the Mermaid Queen is the same person as the pope of Messalism, the god of the sea.
Since the queen disappeared, the mermaid has lost its mystery.
Eventually, mermaids began sucking human spirits to survive.
“My land in the New Continent and the Kingdom of Ztec are right next to me.”
“they… Strong.”
In Lian’s original world, the West easily pioneered the new continent, but this world was not.
There are also positions that are quite advertised, but some kingdoms are still unconquered.
It was only natural that the kingdom of Ybel gave the land to Lian.
He gave up conquering the Ztec kingdom.
“I am stronger. Watch me for one year. Still, if you doubt my ability, you can leave. I swear in the name of Messal, whom you trust, that I will not hold you back then.”
The mermaid thought for a while.
“If you break that oath, you will regret it. Messal’s name is never light. Remember that this world is larger in sea than land.”
She crept ashore.
Surprisingly, thin and thin legs have developed.
The vice-captain was wary, but Lian smiled and held out his hand.
Swoop.
A seashell-shaped seal is held in Lian’s hand.
“Welcome to be my colleague. Mermaid lady.”
Lian took off her coat to the mermaid.
Because it was in the beginning state.
“thank you. master. Then I’ll take good care of you for a year.”
“Because I am not the owner.”
“We mermaids regard all forms of contract as bondage.”
For reference, mermaids are only queens and slaves.
It is regarded as such because it is subordinate to the queen.
“I am a liberty, equality and philanthropist.”
“It seems that Master also believes in Messal.”
Ryan smiled shyly.
In fact, it’s because it’s close to an atheist.
“what. I am also a sea person.”
Of course, he was willing to believe in any god if it would benefit him.
I have a hunch that perhaps the god of the sea will be a good god for Lian.
“The ground is also hard. It’s only been a year, but it looks like following the master will be hard work in the future.”
The mermaid couldn’t even walk a few steps, but it was hard.
His complexion deteriorated rapidly.
Originally, mermaids can run well on land, but they can’t use their spirits in the sea and distant lands.
“Don’t worry. I’ll get you something good.”
Lian smiled and headed for the boat.
buzz buzz.
Count Leon’s army was gathered there.
The moment the flag was hung over the palace, the battle was over.
On one side, you can see the surrendered enemies.
Wow!!
When Lian appeared, the soldiers began to cheer.
Indeed, as Lian said, the gates were opened. The stunned opponent did not actively defend.
easy win.
Furthermore, because they had seen the amazing appearance of the Going Missha, Lian seemed almost like a god in their minds.
[Ah~ my test!]
aaa!!!
Despite the meaningless words, the soldiers cheered more fervently.
It must have been something difficult and meaningful, so I figured it out on my own.
[thanks. my soldiers Thanks to you, I easily regained this land.]
The foot soldiers didn’t seem to have done much, but in fact they didn’t.
If they hadn’t blocked the opposing forces, they might not have been able to capture the palace easily.
No matter how elite the sailors of the Going Missha are, they are also exhausted.
You can’t draw and use mana or aura indefinitely.
[However, I have to deliver unfortunate news to the residents here.]
When Lian spoke up, the surrendered soldiers and townsfolk made questionable faces.
[Count Rudeac committed suicide and pressed the self-destruct button.]
Self-destruct button? I couldn’t quite figure out what he meant.
[I shouted that if I gave this land, I would drown it. It has activated a facility that existed in ancient times.]
“that… that… … .”
[The area near the capital will be completely submerged in a week. So please take refuge. By the way, if you come to Leon’s estate, I will give you a place to live and a job.]
Everyone started to worry.
Fearing that they would be demoted to serfs.
[Don’t worry, you will live a freer and richer life than when you lived on this earth. A huge Autohos Industrial Complex will appear in the land you are moving to. will build you a new house It can be repaid over 10 years.]
aaa!!!
Everyone started cheering at Ryan’s words.
Of course, there were also many dead people.
land or building owners.
In one morning, his assets evaporated.
Of course, Lian didn’t intend to take care of that.
‘It’s better for nobles to fall.’
If you have a lot of things, you are more likely to stretch out.
So, you just have to let go and hire them as administrators.
[Please hurry up. The capital will be submerged faster than expected.]
Rian said that and entered the palace.
“what. kid. Did he activate such a device? when?”
The vice-captain scratched his head and followed Lian.
“From now on. hehehe.”
It’s a face that decorates something else.
“no way… … .”
“The dead don’t talk.”
Lian sang Lululala and took the mermaid down to the basement of the palace.
Searching the rooms in the basement, I came across a room with a large padlock.
“This… Can’t you open it?”
It is an enchanted lock with a door.
Even if you shoot a horse cannon, it won’t help.
“Here is the key.”
Lian took out the shell seal from his pocket as if nothing was wrong.
Click!
The lock opened easily just by bringing it up.
“no way… Is it the treasure house of the Ludeac estate? I wondered where you were!”
In fact, there were quite a lot of goods inside.
After the surrender, the Marines searched the castle, but there was a reason they couldn’t find it.
“Move~”
At Lian’s command, the marines moved the treasures with full-blooded expressions.
They’ll have something to fall for themselves.
“But what are you doing here?”
It should have been done by his subordinates, but Lian did not leave the treasure room.
The things inside are disappearing in an instant, no matter how nimble the Marines are.
“look.”
At Lian’s words, the vice-captain observed the room again.
Then the mouth opened slowly.
Unrecognizable geometry and letters were plastered all over the walls.
“Let me answer your question just now.”
“What did I ask?”
“Is it the treasure house of the Rudeac estate? Half right, half wrong. This is also the entrance to another treasure trove.”
Lian looked at the mermaid.
“this… case… … .”
“The stupid Count Rudeac brought a mermaid, but it was not used. hehehe.”
The mermaid walked slowly towards the center of the room.
“The reason you showed this to me is obvious, right?”
“There is also a present from the mermaid lady, so don’t waste your blood too much.”
“There is a mystery in the blood of a mermaid.”
Of course, just spilling it doesn’t mean you lose strength.
However, the mermaid had to be prepared to lose a lot of power if she performed magical acts like now.
“That mystery will be refilled by our trusty vice-captain.”
“go… What is it all of a sudden!!! who… who gave permission… … .”
“There is someone on our ship who can fill that level of strength.”
“that… but… No matter what, with these monsters… … .”
The vice-captain is slightly negative.
Maybe it’s because of the fight I had earlier.
Lian took drastic measures.
“no way… !! Eh~ isn’t it~??”
“uh… Where are you looking!! I can’t show you how powerful I am!!! Even after all this, I… … !!”
“Eh~ just words?”
“Because it’s real!!!”
