130 – Touch from outside the sea (7)
In front of a corpse he brought with him to explain the situation to other sailors who were unaware of the situation, Rottin admired.
“I don’t know if he’s a real cannibal or not, but he’s quite a murder-mad bastard.”
After firing a gun into the air to signal the sailors to retreat to the beach, Rottin happened to spot it while heading ashore.
It was a truly horrific scene, fitting well with the expression field of corpses.
Some were severely wounded to the extent that their intestines were leaking due to their stomachs being ovulated, others were stabbed and twisted with knives to pierce a large hole in their necks, and some died as a result of being mercilessly struck with something like a heavy knife. There were also teeth that were smashed and caved in.
The sailors were sure it was the work of a mad cannibal, but not Rotten.
‘This is not the treatment of prey.’
Prey must be caught carefully. And it was never about respect for life.
The essence of the act of respecting and killing the prey is really simple.
This is because the meat and leather are not damaged as much as possible, leaving a lot of usable and edible parts.
What was treated with respect for efficient use through the wisdom of our ancestors may change its meaning to respect for life or an important ritual of hunting, but the root is efficiency after all.
Beasts prefer the meat of dead animals rather than living meat, which consumes stamina to catch, and hunters catch prey neatly to make a lot of profit.
‘If you’re a cannibal, you’ll consider humans as prey.’
If so, they would have killed them as cleanly as possible to leave as many edible parts as possible, and would have taken the bodies back to their homes after killing them.
But this is different.
The corpses are so horribly disfigured that they don’t need to kill people, and all the corpses are thrown away at random.
‘This is an act to give fear.’
Unnecessarily over-attacking the opponent so that the surroundings feel fear and hesitate.
To make people around them shrink by killing a corpse so horrific that even a glance at it would make you feel nauseous.
‘If the minority wants to deal with the majority, the first thing to do is to break the morale of the majority, stop their feet and hands, and give them fear to make their heads stupid.’
Even though Rotin jumped out at a young age, he was a son of an aristocrat who boasted admiration for his ability until then.
that’s a man too.
They learned not only manners and manners such as dueling and hunting, but also strategies and tactics.
That’s why I was able to read the intentions hidden under this atrocity, different from the other sailors.
‘Killed to kill. Why was it necessary? Am I really a maniac killer who likes to kill people?’
Simple otherwise.
‘Possibility that I touched the opponent first from this side.’
If you said you touched it, why did you touch it?
‘They’ve become much rougher and more violent than usual due to the long voyage, but these guys aren’t stupid. In addition, I learned the skills and wits so that I can travel around the world by boat and communicate in a foreign country where I don’t understand the language.’
I wouldn’t touch a stranger I met on this island first.
‘If that’s the case, it means I touched someone I could touch.’
someone you can touch. There is only one. Who Rotin said to kill.
‘It’s a butler. I don’t know if it’s these guys or the others, but they found the butler. And he tried to kill me as I said.’
How did he know he was a butler?
‘That means there was something special about it.’
And on this island, there was only one thing Rotin had told them about that was characteristic of them.
“Hey, Chan.”
When Rottin called his name, the sailor who had fled from Chester and Monia stared blankly at Rottin.
“Yes?”
“Among the cannibals you mentioned, there was a woman with dark hair and purple eyes.”
“Yes, there was… .”
Chan stopped talking and kept his mouth shut, perhaps noticing something.
black hair. purple eyes. When I mentioned that feature, the other sailors around me also noticed.
“Here, Captain. no way?”
Who is the main character who created that tragedy?
“No, that is nonsense! A noble lady’s butler! Both are nobles anyway! How can you make people like that?”
“You never know. Living on an island might have driven me crazy.”
“But how many did you get hurt?”
“… … .”
I just thought it was a cannibal.
However, when the completely unexpected truth came out, the sailors were confused.
“Anyway, it seems that my fiancé has changed a lot from what I knew. But it’s good to see that you’re alive.”
Rottin laughed.
The hope of being able to meet the living Monia rose, and I smiled really pleasantly.
“The plan remains unchanged. Capture Monia and kill the butler. It was probably the butler who led this. No matter how much Monia has changed, she’s not the type to go ahead and tell her to kill people.”
Of course, the truth was that Monia was more aggressive in killing. Chester was afraid that Monia would hate him if he killed someone.
“Fortunately, I don’t think we need to go all the way to the top of that high island.”

Lortin nodded, saying he was lucky, and suddenly thought about it.
‘By the way, then who the hell is that light? … … I guess it’s good As long as Monia is here, that has nothing to do with me.’
And after a while, all the sailors who received the signal gathered.
“… … Is this all?”
21 sailors gathered in that way. The number included one team led by Rotin, one team gathered later, and Chan, who survived at the hands of Chester and Monia.
The other sailors, who had been relieved a little after knowing that their opponent was not a cannibal, also sweated out a different feeling from walking around the forest.
“Does this make sense?”
“Are you crazy?”
70 people entered the island.
However, only 21 people gathered here.
In the few hours they were on the island, Chester and Monia had killed an absurd number of people, a whopping 49 people.
It was the result of adding that Monia could easily kill people using the crossbow and bow obtained from the sailors and the characteristics of the newly discovered ore.
Of course, even if Monia moved hard, most of them were killed by Chester, and the sailors who gathered here and the sailors who heard the situation later could easily predict that.
“Damn it. What kind of monster does Captain Nara’s nobles take as butlers?”
“Does it make sense? No, putting aside whether you can do it or not, can you kill people like this? Don’t you have a conscience?”
“Captain Rottin, is this your butler’s normal?”
“Will it be normal?”
Even Rottin was shocked by this.
‘Damn it. Are the eyes of the butler special because he’s a duke?’
This is really nonsense.
‘No, how did you find us in this vast forest and kill us like that? Originally, the butler has good stamina, but doesn’t this guy get tired?’
Chester’s presence suddenly swelled at the startling damage figures.
Originally, sailors are those who live in the ever-changing sea and indulge in superstitions to protect their safety even a little bit.
In the distant past, there was a superstition that women should not be on board a boat, and because of the superstition that if you put a woman’s name on a boat, the sea will guide you gently, every boat built was given a woman’s name.
When the legendary monster, the Kraken, appeared, they said they had to give it as a sacrifice, and they carried one by one, and there were also people who obsessively collected amulets that were considered symbols of good luck due to some special anecdote.
This belief in superstition, a propensity to be called a kind of faith, has not changed even today, when women can travel by boat and the names of boats have diversified.
‘I’m not human.’
‘Demon! The devil is clear! People can’t do this!’
‘Damn it! This is the end of my life!’
‘No matter how many guns you have, you can’t defeat the devil!’
Among them, Chester was changing from an ordinary butler to a demon who lives by chewing people to death.
And naturally, I thought that it would be better to raise a rebellion on board against the rotin than the devil, but… … .
‘It’s not like that!’
Rotin, as well as the ‘brother’ remaining on the ship, was also a problem.
If he killed Rottin and caused a mutiny on board, it was clear that his brother would sink the ship at that moment.
Because he is a person who has no purpose in life other than to live with Rotin who saved him from endless despair.
The devil and the older brother, if asked which one scares me more, there was no way to answer. both of them are scared
‘No, it’s better to stick around!’
Doesn’t my brother even have a rotin?

Lotin is a nobleman who was trained to specialize in dueling. Of course, the level of combat power was different from that of the sailors who only fought gang fights.
Even the cutlass they carry for threats turns into a sharp sword in Lottin’s hand.
“Hey, go ahead and call one.”
I didn’t even have to ask who to call.
One of the sailors ran to the boat to call ‘Brother’.
