Leviathan (4)
“… … Kriemhild’s successor needs us?”
All the members of the Black Skull turned their eyes towards Antonio.
A look that doesn’t believe everyone easily.
He would, too, when he heard the news that the Gang Brotherhood had disregarded the organization’s decision and shot Theo in the back of the head.
It was because they thought that their relationship with Theo had already been ruined.
Rather, I was afraid that Theo would be out of sight after he succeeded in resealing the sea king and seized power.
Rather, Antonio called them separately at dawn and told him that he needed them.
Antonio nodded vigorously with a slightly reddish face.
“yes. Exactly as I said. Kriemhild’s successor has no intention of remaining just a ＜hero＞.”
“… … It means you need a political foundation.”
“yes. So he said he would promise the position of president if we help him.”
In an instant, the eyes of some members shone.
presidency.
The position of ruler of the Dominion of the Floating Islands was a position they all aspired to.
“Of course, in order to do that, it would have to go beyond the level of ‘helping’ and go beyond his hands and feet, no, even a pitcher… … Can you afford that much?”
“No. It’s not that easy to see.”
The man sitting across from me continued with a cigar in his mouth.
He was the man Theo regarded as the leader of the Black Skull.
“No matter how much people support it, it is the Shipping Federation that actually holds the interests of the floating islands, and at the top is the Shipping 3rd Street. We have to get rid of them all, but is that practically possible?”
All members kept their lips shut.
Sigh-
Cigarette smoke spread thickly.
“Impossible. In the first place, most of us are from the 3rd shipping line. It’s like setting up a new faction against your parents and siblings. How could that be easier said than done?”
A deep silence is about to fall with the man’s ridicule,
Antonio shook his head.
“no. The dismantling of Haeundae 3ga is possible.”
“what? how?”
“First of all, let me add that this is not my personal opinion, but the opinion of the heir to Kriemhild.”
“… … .”
The man closed his lips.
“As everyone knows, the current 3 maritime powers are already separated. Grimal had Troyban on his back, so now there is only downfall left, and since Romelin was neutral in the first place, he will naturally stick to the successor.”
The eyes of the man and the members were focused on an empty spot.
Marty Romelin.
It was as obvious as Antonio said as to where her choice would lead as she was also in charge of the priesthood of the central temple.
“All that remains is my family, Spinola… … But, I know my father well. He is the one who will take care of himself and bow his head when someone stronger than himself appears. And.”
“So you’re saying that you’re going to make a justification at the right time, expel your father, and hold the family in your hands?”
“If I can’t even carry Kriemhild’s heir on my back, that’s because I’m not good enough.”
Antonio was confident.
The justification already belongs to himself, not Umberto.
As time passed, the influence of the family naturally increased on their own.
If you get your hands on the 3rd shipping family, the position of president will be that close.
Antonio secretly revealed his position,
I threw a positive message to the people from Grimal and Romelin, asking if you guys could do it like me.
Also, it was like giving a signal to those who were not from Haeundae 3 to join him.
In fact, some of them even gave Antonio a sneak peek, saying that they would meet separately later, with their eyes shining.
The man smiled bitterly.
The atmosphere that had always revolved around him now revolved around Antonio.
‘no. Was it exactly Rant? No, there’s a good chance it’s a pseudonym. In any case, Kriemhild’s successor will become a complete darkness. Antonio will be nothing but that puppet.’
The man was genuinely afraid of Theo.

Less than a day after entering the floating archipelago, it is shaking the game like this.
Didn’t he even make his own foundation with a few words from a distance now?
Based on my past experience, I shouldn’t have tried to confront such a person.
You must bow down thoroughly.
It was something to think about later if I was aiming for the next opportunity.
“… … great. So what do you plan to do now? I’m sure the other 3 shipping houses will try to make some moves in preparation for the sealing of the sea king.”
Declaration of Substantive Surrender.
Antonio twisted the corner of one lip.
“How do you do it? We must go to meet our new chieftain. directly.”
The troops that each person could gather meant that the troops should be scraped together.
To protect Theo from doing nothing to Hae-un 3-ga.
All the members nodded their heads heavily in response.
“Then, it looks like the opinions have been sorted out, so hurry up.”
Antonio clenched his fists.
a new world.
It seemed as if a floating archipelago for him had already been placed at his fingertips.
However, Antonio’s expectations did not last long.
“Antonio! It’s a big deal!”
One of the members who went out to collect troops came back in contemplation.
“Guards!”
“Calm down and speak slowly. What is it?”
“The guards have gone over to Grimal! Now, Grimal and the Ghost Slayer are heading to the central temple with the guards! It’s a coup!”
“… … !”

My heart was beating fast.
coo deuk, coo deuk-
At the same time, the body has undergone very small but great changes.
The various talents Theo had accumulated over the years, the mystery of the young magic poison and Kriemhild, were mixed with dragon blood and began to merge into one.
The feeling of clearing your mind.
In addition, the inspiration from the sword beads seemed to become clearer.
But there were other changes that were more tangible.
「Whoops. It seems like we’ve finally reached the point where we can call each other ‘companion’.”
『Whoops. It seems that we are finally at the point where we can call each other ‘companions’.”

Theo thought that he would be good enough to become a high-ranking swordsman now.
In a while, a year will pass and I will be 16, but even so, it must have been a great growth.
“You look satisfied with yourself.”
‘Actually, it is.’
「Certainly, your growth rate is unrivaled even compared to the previous selectors. But if you run too fast, you might get sick, so be careful.”
‘I’ll keep that in mind.’
“Whoop whoop. It sounds like you have no intention of doing that at all.”
‘Did I get caught?’
“That kind of confidence is probably your charm.”

Lodbroke stretched his wings wide and raised himself.
pass-
The sea king beneath her had lost a heart and was rapidly disintegrating.
「Perhaps thanks to you refining the curse, the amount of mana extracted from the heart is quite large. It will take some time to wrap this up, so I’ll get back to you as soon as I’m done.”
‘Is it still not enough to fill your heart?’
「Whoops. I am the one who was at the peak of all dragons. Wouldn’t the bowl be too small to be filled with something like this?”

Lodbroke winked one eye.
Theo stuck out his tongue.
Sea King was also a natural disaster itself, but Lodbrok is far above that?
Then what level is the father who beat her?
Still too far for him.
It was a very tall wall.
“Still, channeling will be open at any time, so you can contact me separately when you are bored. Isn’t that the role of a companion?”

Lodbroke uttered pleasant words to the end and quietly disappeared.
Whoa… … .
Theo took a long breath.
From the mystery of Kriemhild to the death of the sea king.
As I pushed myself so frantically at many things without a break, I was exhausted.
It was hard enough just to hold on.
‘But there is still one last thing left.’
Seize the Dominion of the Wealthy Army.
He needed to make this place his own base.
“host.”
Then, Pontus quietly approached.
He no longer called Theo ‘sir’ but ‘master’.
I sincerely mean that I now acknowledge him as my master.
As if that was the case with other sea creatures, many sea creatures filled his surroundings.
“thanks.”
‘Aren’t I resentful? In a way, it’s like I hurt your father.’
Pontus shook his head.
“No way. We know how much pain my father has been through over the last hundred years. The whole time we watched it from the side, we had a hard time together. The master brought peace to such a person.”
Pontus glanced around.
Several deep-sea types that turned into the sea king’s frenzy caught my eye.
“And father will continue to take care of us in the bosom of nature. I don’t even think he left. Rather, there is something I want to ask of the owner.”
ask?
Is there anything not over yet?
“It is only natural for Dorie, who has become a servant since ancient times, to take care of her master by the side. But, as you can see, this place is still a bit unorganized. Perhaps, as father closes his eyes, no more magical power updrafts are created, so there is a high risk that the archipelago above will sink.”
Theo seemed to know what Pontus was asking for.
“I want to stay here and continue the legacy of my father and my friend. And I want to preserve the traces left by the owner. Will you allow me?」
Pontus wants to stay here.
It would be rewarding to follow Theo, but he must have considered it important to follow in the footsteps of the King here.
It seemed like you could see how much thought he had to say after much thought.
Theo laughed.
‘Pontus. Do you know what my dream is?’
“dream?”
‘yes. dream.’
“Do not know… … I will.」
‘I’m going to become a king.’
“… … !”
Pontus’s eyes widened.
‘But to become a king, I’m going to be very busy, and it’s hard to settle down in one place. That’s why I need someone to rule the territory for me.’
Theo already considered the territory of the sea king and Kriemhild as his territory.
‘Can you help me?’
“of course… … to be.”
Pontus lowered his head in a voice full of emotion.
Following him, numerous sea creatures lowered their bodies one after another.
“As long as I have Pontus.”
The existence that became the new sea king declared it with a word.
“The sea is your subject and will serve you as your friend.”
