“This time, since we caught the only son of a fairly large merchant troupe, how much can we get as ransom?”
“Kha. It kills the taste of alcohol!”
“This is all thanks to Captain Ellis. The Pirate Queen is the best in the area!”
Noisy sound. The pirate ship Queen on the sea was drinking with all the torches lit as if it was the only orange glow in a place covered with indigo water and sky all around.
“f*ckers. Excited.”
Quiche. No, the woman now called Ellis listened to the noise in the captain’s quarters, stomped her booted feet and sighed as if she were lying on a chair propped on the table.
“Let’s see. How much gold should the son of the upper ranks receive?”
In addition, the ships and items obtained while capturing the upper line were of quite good quality.
The best thing is to tie them together when handing over the sons of the upper ranks.
‘Well, if the ransom is high, I can refuse to take over the goods.’
If you hand it over to the pirate guild that pirates use, the margin is too small.
Elise picked up a bottle of rum and was about to uncork it when someone knocked and came in at the same time.
“Captain. The person named Zero has arrived.”
Creamy hair trimmed short and brown skin, not tanned. A person wearing a jeweled eyepatch over one eye.
At Lanka’s words, Elise lowered her foot on the table and stood up hastily.
“okay?”
“yes. Honey met me in a small fishing village to the east and brought me.”
I knew that I had come to this Namhae Islands. But until we came this close, there was no sympathy?
She was a bit puzzled by that, but unlike herself, who became stronger by swallowing many humans, she opened her mouth, assuming that Alice, who has been busy these days, would not have felt it because she had hardly grown up with the blond human.
From noble mtl dot com.
“Bring me here.”
My heart was pounding. Some might call this treason.
‘But no. I’m the suzerain, what I do for my baby.’
simple death. If that’s the end, if that’s how you lead another doppelganger with that bloody hand. Yes, treason would be right.
However, to the doppelgangers, physical death was nothing. Eventually, it will return to the seed and be reborn.
The same goes for zero and suzerain.
By swallowing him and absorbing his abilities into Elise herself, Zero would give up a position that was not befitting of his weak and friendly disposition.
And you have to give them a good body so they can live doing what they want to do.
To eat, to wear, to overflow with everything.
If you want to read a book, you can even pull a boat full of books.
If you want to settle down in a place with a nice view, you should find the most beautiful island in the area that Alice firmly controls inside the archipelago and build a house.
‘Supreme… no. Zero. Our baby.’
Only pretty and beautiful things should be given to him. Dirty and ugly is the responsibility of Alice herself.
Eris recalled the image of Zero, always suffering in the prison of the labyrinth and blaming herself for it.
‘I won’t let you do that again.’
You just have to be happy in your arms. And under the words of the butler, Alcaido, they spread out everywhere, each eating the important person, and gathering all the other colleagues who are waiting for the right time to create a doppelganger’s paradise.
smart-
The moment Elise raised the corner of her mouth, her eyes moved at the sound of a knock.
“This is Lanka. I have brought you.”
With a squeal, the door to the captain’s cabin opens. The robed one who comes in with Lanka.
Seeing that, Elise looked at the man’s chest and then slowly raised her gaze.
‘Tall… … ?’
Tall. And just by looking at it, he has a sturdy body. Her face was not visible because she was wearing a robe, but her body shape alone was no longer zero.
‘Could it be that he changed his appearance by eating humans?’
That Adelian initially declared that he never intended to make people eat, but in the end it might have been for use.
But what does it mean that there is no sympathy and sympathy even though you are right in front of me?
‘FALSE.’
In case you don’t know, you should check it out to the end. Elise erased her slightly disappointed face and sent Lanka away, then opened her mouth to Zero in the captain’s room where only the two of them were left.
“Supreme. Long time no see.”
“okay. Long time no see, Kish.”
“A bird I haven’t seen has changed a lot?”
“Better than quiche?”
The sound of laughter dissipating from under the robes. The way of speaking and tone of voice that could be felt during the conversation was definitely zero, but at that time, Alice was confused and shut her mouth for a while at not agreeing with them even though they were so close.
Slowly raising his hand, Zero tucked back his hood and faced Elise’s purple eyes through the green jewel.
“… suzerainty.”
“Did you know it wasn’t me?”
The gray hair that was beautifully disheveled and the inside of the green jewel. His innocent-looking face remained the same.
Alice could tell.
That his suzerain came out by destroying that small and small seed.
As if the gigantic world capital was just a seed at first.
The zero he saw in the labyrinth was simply a seed.
The existence in front of my eyes is a deep swamp whose end cannot be measured. high sky. The nemesis of all those who exist in the flesh, and the false Creator who will bring about rebirth.
“Look at me.”
‘Ahh. why did i forget Foolishly.’
The master of all doppelgangers. It is its source and value, and it is an existence that will protect and follow even if it throws away its body and its core is destroyed.
Alice slowly met Zero’s eyes. Inside the jewel, a pale orange glow from the candles lit in the captain’s quarters.
“See you soon.”
“yes. suzerainty.”
‘The thing I couldn’t sympathize with or sympathize with.’
Because Zero didn’t want it.
The difference in status has widened to such an extent that Zero can’t even fathom it, so that if Zero doesn’t want to, he won’t be able to feel anything unilaterally.
Alice laughed slowly as she felt her heart stop.
* * *
‘As expected, it was contaminated by swallowing too many memories.’
Zero took Elise’s body as it collapsed into his arms and laid it on a nearby sofa.
After waiting for a while, the core of the doppelganger rises.
To swallow someone’s memory is to have that person’s life.
If you are a normal human, your ego will be divided or you will go crazy quickly, but doppelgangers are originally such a species, so the memories of one or two people are not easily broken.
The problem is that although the doppelganger’s body’s memories are the main ones, it is impossible to get rid of the extra memories that accumulate.
What would happen if we continued to read books and watch plays with only evil content? Of course, even if that person doesn’t have that way of thinking originally, at some point, he has no choice but to be stained with that wickedness.
The owners of the memories Alice swallowed while working as pirates were mostly pirates or slaves. Or they were not ordinary people like slave masters.
The violence of the pirates and the despair of the slaves. The owners of the slaves must have had memories of greed and longing.
‘It makes no sense to not be polluted.’
Zero held the nuke in his hand, and in his other hand he held the magic crystal he had received from Adelian, saying that he might find a place to spend money in a hurry.
* * *
“That’s how it happened.”
Quiche. No, sitting next to her doppelgänger, who is now Alice, I giggled in amazement at what Zero said while smiling like a big dog.
“Oh, this ship is huge!”
“Rachel, don’t run.”
– Kane. There is also a prison below.
“hmm.”
In the meantime, the rest were excited to check the ship, and the pirates glanced at it with very disapproving eyes.
I motioned for Rachel to separate the hustle and bustle outside, and Zero slammed the door shut and came back.
“By the way, Zero.”
“yes. Adelian.”
I sat down on the sofa, resting my chin on it, and pulled the corners of my mouth up.
“You could have just said that you hired Alice because you were lucky, but why did you say that she was the doppelganger of your subordinate, whom I met originally under the name of Kish?”
I definitely told Alkaido to make them only play the role of informants, and that’s a situation that Zero knows.
By the way, did you say it without lies as an expression of protest against sending it so far to the Namhae Islands and using it as a spy and a tool for forming another force?
‘It can’t be. Go zero.’
There’s no way that docile bastard would have thought that far and reported it sarcastically.
So I asked outright. With a nuance that I would not have known even if I tricked him.
“hmm. That’s it. To be honest, I don’t think Adelian would believe that I hired Elise, the pirate queen, no matter how good I was.”
that’s right
“In addition, with a normal employment relationship, I don’t think we can remodel this ship into the structure Adelian-sama wants.”
Did you even think about that? Have you ever wanted a kitchen next to your bedroom?
“and.”
Zero smiled slowly with a benign face and added his words.
“There’s no way we can ever fool Adelian-sama, who also has Yejian.”
you man You don’t even believe that I exist?
However, that was also in line with my usual argument, so I just shrugged and laughed.
“Zero. You’ve grown a lot.”
“yes? It’s been a long time since I’ve been the tallest.”
Not that, man. I mean in many ways.

In the meantime, I hardly used the user’s eyes because of the drop in floating feeling, but now it’s time to use it.
Even with zero, too many things have changed.
Replication is from SS to SSS. Manga changed from A to S+. In addition, magic delay went from C+ to A, right? Instead of being pushed out of the cooking skill, there was intimidation.
Interestingly, Zero originally had dignity, not coercion, as a hidden trait.
‘Why did it turn into coercion?’
Actually, I can’t imagine a guy with such a benign smile being dignified, but isn’t it more intimidating? There was also a gluttony.
‘And what about that nemesis?’
Usually, natural enemy traits appear only at the level of named among the NPCs that appear on stages where the racial compatibility is divided into atrocious.
For example, in a place like Blade Canyon, which is the main stage for snakes and joins, units with natural enemy traits have an overwhelming advantage over normal units of the opposing race.
But if Zero has a natural enemy… Who are you talking about as an enemy?
“good. once i got it look out.”
“Yes, Adelian.”
“yes. Then me too… … .”
Seeing Zero bowing with Alice and leaving, I got up and went to the window.
It’s been a long time since you’ve opened your eyes, so it’s better to see it at once.
[Luna Index―A mantle like a gale]

Luna changed from a bracing fighter to a name related to speed from ‘like a gale’, and a promotion was added to her leg strength. Instead of a simple appearance trait of cuteness, it is encouraging that bravery related to the spirit is added.
‘Luna, who was timid… … .’
Oh, is this a little exciting? Of course, it’s annoying that the madness has risen, but instead of the Six Demons, he even has a will.
Didn’t I see too much of my wealth in the meantime?
‘You must never see Rachel.’

Hidden Traits: [Writing (D)] [Drawing (S)] [Emotions (D)]
Leaf is a crafted golem. So, since I already had a trait that was close to completion, there was no big change in terms of ability.
Obedience probably went up to obedience because of the nature of being a golem, having been with me for a long time and forming a bond. Still, it was a good change that there were joys and sorrows.
‘If that goes a little higher, I might be able to hear the riff laugh.’
Then I would know right away that Riff was definitely happy.
Scratching my head, I now turned my gaze to Kane.
