“From the outside, everyone seemed insincere.”
“Honestly, if it weren’t for the gray hair that is the captain’s friend, wouldn’t they be the ones who could have been played with and sold out?”
That golden-haired, arrogant kid who looked like an aristocrat would only accept the ransom for fear of repercussions.
Those who looked like escorts are different. Considered escorts, they must have been chosen by aristocratic children based on their faces.
Even if it wasn’t like that, how strong would it be if such young people were strong? It is a fact that the Aura user among the pirates secretly tried to search for mana, so it is a fact that it is weak.
There’s no way he’s strong enough to hide his mana at that age.
A face is a face, a body is a body, regardless of man or woman. Since they are not missing any of them, everyone seemed to have their mouth watering.
He had never worked as a professional slave trader, but he opened his mouth with a giggle because slave ships were pirates who had robbed them often.
“Of course, if you don’t want to waste your life, it’s worth trying even now. If someone secretly shuts their mouths and brings them here!”
“Arthur. Then, if that zero knows… I still feel like peeing just thinking about that day.”
Huddled together in the living room under the deck, everyone, regardless of gender or age, sighed and sighed at the same time.
“What nonsense would the other pirates say if they found out?”
“sh*t. We have to bring them here and let them suffer.”
A middle-aged woman sitting across from the man scratched her scars and nodded.
“I saw a Kraken from afar when I was young, and it reminded me of that time.”
One day, when all the pirates of the queen were gathered, what did they say at that time, smiling brightly like a big boy and smiling like a gentle big dog?
‘I’m going to see an important person soon. Please be careful not to cause any disgrace.’
Even among the rough seafarers, the pirates who do the tougher things, yes! All right! I would have answered.
They were neither military nor honorable knights, but pirates.
Of course, they have basic loyalty to the captain, but what kind of pirate would have stayed silent when a guy like a horse bone from somewhere rolled around clung to them like the captain’s lover and commanded them.
In addition, Captain Ellis seemed to have no intention of tuning in, drinking rum and making a funny face, so everyone had to think that he should press his nose once in a while.
‘Ah, so you have enough money to hire us?’
‘I’m not the one who will give you a price. In addition, the other party members are nice people, so you’ll be able to get along well.’
‘Oh, how are you doing with us? Then, can we expect other fun?’
The moment when someone made a vulgar move. And not only those who dared to attack fearlessly, but everyone who gathered faced the fear itself hidden behind that benign face.
“A person is a horse. I guess there is such a thing as momentum.”
“There’s no way we didn’t feel it, like it spouting mana to give you a sense of intimidation or something.”
“that… Isn’t that what living is like?”
“no. I’ve been through something like living, but it’s on a different level.”
With a sad smile on his face, without any wavering or flow of mana. A power that instantly froze dozens of pirates.
It was an internal warning born of instinct rather than an external force.
“I’ve felt something similar before.”
At the words of one pirate, everyone turned their eyes to look.
“You know, the other day when I went fishing alone in a small boat and was wrecked by a storm. Then, in the black water, I met Mr. Serpent’s eyes… … .”
“Oh, wasn’t that a lie?”
The pirate, who had been outraged by saying that it wasn’t a lie, opened his mouth again with a slightly fearful face.
“I don’t want to die. want to live I was so full of that thought that I didn’t even feel like I wanted to breathe at that moment.”
If you move, you die.
Recalling that visceral fear, the pirate shuddered once.
“That is what it feels like. By the way, I don’t want to die to Zero, so I’ll treat him with respect.”
After a few people nodded and went up to the deck.
When Zero’s colleague, who was soaring high in the sky, lifted the whale with an uppercut and walked on the water, everyone sighed in relief, praising themselves for not blaming them openly.

The airship with the leaf is an object that is so large that it is problematic to explain its use with just one blade.
It can load a large amount of things, starting with the function of a large transport ship, as well as an attack ship using mana main guns.
When moving in the air, it can produce only the simplest golems, but when it lands on the ground, it can also be used as a strategic weapon production line capable of creating even large armored golems, which I call titans.
In addition, unlike Aegis or mass-produced golems, which have almost no ego, if you pour a lot of gold, you can even produce a commander golem like Leaf.
In addition, it was possible to produce food under certain conditions, and I saw data that said that if all the power of the sea pearl was focused on defense, even the dragon’s breath would not be able to break it at once.
It’s almost an all-weather weapon.
But at this point, you will have questions.
Indeed, at the same time, why did the forces with that level of technology not have any information properly left now?
Isn’t such an airship too inefficient?
‘If you look at it closely, it’s no different from Noah’s ark.’
Lost Technology.
To be honest, even as a person who had read the original and even played the game, what I was most curious about was the airship.
Because the original work, the game, and the appearance of the Airship had no more value than the Leaf’s pickup stage.
It’s unavoidable since they arrived after everything has already been destroyed and the sea pearls have been stolen, but now that it’s a reality, it’s inefficient to make fun of it too much simply because it lacks a power source.
Since airships became mine, I thought that I should use them somehow, so I tried it right away.
‘Production and utilization of the commander golem.’
In order to properly roll the secret drug group called Innocent, the concept must be clear.
People who have had fun with conspiracy theories would know. The truth that others do not know. It’s like taking the red pill, the sense that only a few enlightened people know the absurdity of this world is quite addictive.
Of course, on Earth, people usually stay up all night reading conspiracy theories, daydreaming, and then after a good night’s sleep, they end up saying, “It was fun,” but this world is different.
In addition, what if the conspiracy theory is not just a simple conspiracy theory, but a real one?
“The end of the world worked well even in the millennium.”
Somewhere on the continent, there is a group that prays for an end, and that group is bigger than you think and is reaching out everywhere.
And on the other side, the group trying to stop the end of the world only tells me the truth, helps with information, and at the same time knows the truth, so it can be dangerous, so it would be great if I had an escort.
‘I have only one purpose.’
Anyone who exposes the name of Innocent will be a spear aimed at the Evil Gods Church and a shield to protect the continent, and that word is very suitable for the Church to target.
In addition, they are very important people, so you have to keep an eye on them.
There is no way I know that there is a prototype that can communicate with all the Siren that will spread across the continent, so I can plant spies with confidence.
In other words, I intended to use the commander golem as an informant by attaching it to a key person.
“Have you arrived?”
＜-Yes. manager.＞
While managing the airship, at the same time, to collect information from the elves, I had woken up one commander object other than Leaf.
And it seems that the Siren, which was delivered to Gamur through the top, is now in his hands.
“Then, how long will it take to produce an intermediate level commander golem with the enclosed pattern engraved on it?”
Just in case, I used a magic stone to activate the artifact that creates a mana barrier and then sat down on the sofa in the cabin.
＜-I received a lot of supplies along with this siren, so the first one was three months later. After that, you can produce a total of 10 units per month.＞
It’s taking longer than I thought. On top of that, in fact, the material sent there was an enormous amount that exceeded the gold earned by selling sirens in the capital.
However, even with that much resource, it is only intermediate to heat. There are 1-star generals and 2-star generals.
Even on the continent, hundreds of commanders and thousand commanders are inevitably different even if they are the same commander.
So, I thought that a moderately intermediate level was the minimum requirement for the purpose I wanted, but it took too long.
Of course, I didn’t think that it would be possible to produce it in a factory way like a mass-produced golem, but there was a slight problem with using the original commander object.
The objects created at the same time as the Leaf were all top-class golems, although I don’t know who they were made to fight with.
– Manager. What are you doing here alone? The meal is almost ready outside.
After thinking about it for a while, Riff approaches. Seeing that expressionless face, I suddenly opened my mouth and lightly explained my thoughts.
“It’s not urgent, but it’s better to be quick. But I think it’s a bit excessive to attach commanders of the same rank as you.”
At my words, Leaf looked at me with yellow eyes and opened her mouth.
―Commander objects of the same rank can share experiences. The most efficient is direct contact like a handshake, or if it is fragmentary rather than sharing all memories, you can put them in a magic stone.
“… okay? That means you are with me and can give me a higher emotional mindset?”
―I often hear from Luna and Zero that I have become a bit more human now than I did in the early days when I followed the commander. It should be able to offset the golem’s unique inorganic atmosphere. together.
Leaf looks at the siren in my hand for a moment, then looks at me again.
―If you are a Commander entity of the same level as me, I will be able to read the information to some extent even after destruction.
At that, I reached out and stroked Leaf’s head.
We know that unconditional devotion to the user is a fundamental element of a golem. It’s similar if you think about changing it into a modern robot.
A faithful creature with no free will, never able to harm its owner, never disobey orders, and never question them.
But I have no intention of leaving the riff that way. Besides, it’s not impossible. Thinking of the stone moss that burst my clothes several times, feeding only sweet potatoes like that without free will, huh? There is no way to pretend to be a harem while talking about your wife at the end.
no It’s not pretending to be a harem, and it’s not pretending because Kane and I were all good friends… … .
I opened my mouth as I grabbed my stock.
“okay. Then, let’s wake up the highest level commander object. But this is not a decision made simply for efficiency and information, as you advised me.”
If you can share your experience and emotional autonomy with them of the same rank, then the opposite is also possible.
“I will loosen the restrictions on my will as much as possible so that everyone can experience many things while carrying out the mission I gave them.”
And each other will constantly complement each other and eventually laugh out loud.
Even in the midst of my expressionless face, I laughed at the riff, which gave me a very faint look of wonder when I stroked my hair.
