chapter 14
Episode 14
##014
The Hebrides, the home of pirates that exist to the northwest of Airy Island.
In fact, it wasn’t originally a port of call for pirates.
It was not farming, it was not geographically important, and fishery resources were scarce.
It was a useless land, so at some point, pirates came and lived on it.
Among those abandoned islands, a stone island a little far to the northwest.
“no. kid. What’s in this place! This is where we practice artillery fire from time to time.”
the vice-captain grumbled.
There is nothing to rescue the huge stone island towering over the dark blue sea.
“hehehe. then. Let’s do some shooting practice.”
“I am I just can’t figure out what’s going on in this kid’s head.”
I said so, but I didn’t ignore the order.
Rather, I liked the canvas.
“Even though he’s young, he’s still awake because he’s a captain from aristocrats. good! All batteries open!”
The guns were opened on both sides of the ship.
With that hole! While walking away, Manapo appeared.
“see. see. Let’s see.”
Lian slowly circled the island and found the location.
A strangely pointed place. A rock that could be mistaken for a person even there.
“found.”
“What did you find?”
“excuse me. Doesn’t it look like that rock man?”
“anyway. The imagination of little children.”
“Will you not break the heart of the dream tree? Ugly vice-captain?!”
The vice-captain shook his head.
But at the same time, I felt like I knew what this kid was thinking.
The horse is a kid, a kid, but he is surprisingly cool-headed.
Could it be that there is an old man in it?
“Are you nervous about pulling this boat to the pirate island?”
The latest warship of the Thrang Empire.
It will be seen as a treasure by all those who make a living from the sea.
“Shouldn’t we at least know the power of this ship?”
3 layer structure. 30 Mana Po. The latest in speed.
Knowing the specs is not enough.
There is nothing more certain than seeing it with your own eyes.
“You are not wrong.”
I’ve tried fighting this ship as an enemy, but it’s not a normal battle.
A fight like the morale of a monstrous helmsman.
So I couldn’t see the specs being tested.
“launch!!”
Lian shouted at the communication port, and orders were given to the bombardment room.
Gunners were accustomed to manapo manipulation.
Buff!!
Mana Pos pounded the rocks.
“on the other way!!”
Lian’s command was given, and the ship turned in the opposite direction toward the stone mountain.
The gunners ran to the other side.
The number of gunners was not many because the pirate ship was melee combat rather than artillery fire.
“run! Run, fools. Our dream captain is training us at an expensive cost!! hahahaha.”
Manapo consumes mana stones.
It also consumes ammunition.
That said, training isn’t free.
“I like it very much. Our dream captain. Ha ha ha.”
Since pirate battles are focused on hand-to-hand combat, the gunners tend to be neglected.
By the way, the little captain lifted himself from the first meeting.
Wasn’t that not enough to capture a ship with so much mana po?
Saying that the treatment in the future will not be bad.
Buff!!
Again, the manapo spewed fire.
“These fools!! can’t get it right! run. Run the other way!!”
After firing, it ran straight away in reverse.
The ship turned in the opposite direction again.
Since they fired alternately, there was no need for heat dissipation to cool the manapo.
“hurry. faster. What will our dream captain see us as!!”
A man-shaped rock, just the size of a man.
It was surprisingly difficult to fit because of the small size.
At first glance, I thought it was overhanging, but it was cleverly protected by the surrounding terrain.
“kid. Aren’t we overestimating our catchers?”
The vice-captain grumbled that he was frustrated.
“usually. It’s hard to match.”
“It sticks out.”
“Because the terrain protrudes, not that shape.”
I wanted to get closer, but now is the limit because of the reefs around Dolseom.
If you’re unlucky, you may have to resupply and try again.
“Do I really have to match that?”
“The difficulty level has to be high for training. And when you enter the pirate island, you will have to fill in the number of gunners first.”
“Since the boat has gotten bigger, we’ll also increase the marine waiting room.”
“no. The Marine Corps is right now. Welfare will inevitably decrease as the number of people increases.”
Originally, pirate ships filled the Marine Corps.
Hand-to-hand combat is the main method of combat.
“welfare?! What is it?”
“Improve your overall quality of life? How important is the quality of life to humans.”
“I’m afraid I’m not a kid. He cares about everything.”
Lian manipulated the crystal ball on the control stick again to move the ship.
Buff!!
As the ship rotated in the opposite direction, the mana cans spewed fire.
Certainly, after receiving training from the vice-captain, he became better at handling mana.
Now, the feeling of mana has definitely become clearer.
It was as if a new sensory organ was created, not the five senses.
“You’ve become more of a monster.”
The vice-captain clicked his tongue as he watched Lian handle the control stick.
Perhaps that’s why Rian was sitting crookedly and manipulating with one finger.
Nonetheless, the ship moved steadily.
“Call me a genius.”
Ryan smiled.
Originally, he was like a piece of trash with no talent in the world.
failed life. Hikikomori hiding in the room.
The only place that is recognized is in the game.
I gradually fell in love with the game. sleeping time. I ran out of time to eat, but… … .
‘Damn number 101.’
Thinking about it made me sick to my stomach. however.
‘Maybe I’m not an SR+ class helmsman?!’
Unknowingly, my shoulders shrugged.
that you are a talent
If I had known it would be like this, I thought I would have done the same thing as a car racer in the world before entering the game.
Kwaaang!!!
Then the rocky mountain exploded.
I can’t even imagine being hit by Manapo.
Obviously, it used regular bullets, not explosive ones.
“what… what.”
The vice-captain jumped up from his seat.
What the hell happened?
It’s definitely a mana explosion.
A phenomenon that occurs when mana of different wavelengths collide with each other.
Normal shells are also affected by Mana Po and hold some Mana.
In other words, there is something in the stone mountain.
“excuse me… Captain?”
“what are you doing. go and investigate Who knows if it’s a magic item?”
“huh?!”
Lian sent three warriors dressed in water spirit armor to the rocky island.
They landed on a stone island while skiing through the sea like a jet ski.
“this… what’s this.”
A human-sized statue.
A winged woman posed in the distance, holding a large piece of parchment in one hand and a torch in the other.
It wasn’t even serious to look at.
“Vice Captain. this… It looks like a magic item… … ?”
“Um… … .”
The vice-captain had a complicated head.
Did you know that you came here?
A kid you never knew.
“Let’s take it for now.”
“I get it.”
The three warriors took the statue and returned to the ship.
The deck was full of sailors coming out to watch.
“What is this?”
“It seems to be something out of the ordinary… … .”
“I think it will be expensive if I sell it.”
Sailors also admired the force of the statue.
If you’ve been piracy for a long time, your eye for things will naturally increase.
“Ahh. Oh God.”
Just then, a sweet, black-haired girl came up from under the deck.
It was Seina, a military chaplain who didn’t show much outside because there were still many patients to take care of.
“sister. Will you offer me a prayer?”
“Of course this is what I have to do. Even if it is not a sacred object of the deity you enshrine, it is the same as being sacred. This is the blessing of this ship.”
She knelt in front of the statue and prayed.
“The faithful servant of Tangle, the hope of all who have lost their way. I would like to express my gratitude to Set, the owner of the lantern that illuminates destiny.”
Goddess of Light Set.
The figure of an angel holding a large book in one hand and a lantern in the other.
He is the main character in a myth that is said to have given fire to humans.
He was also the god of adventurers.
Shoot aaa!!!
Is it even an answer to prayer? As if a bomb had exploded, blinding light was scattered everywhere.
All bowed their knees to that divine light.
“Ohhh!!”
Everyone burst out in amazement.
Light powder fell from the statue.
The skin of the statue made of an unknown metal glowed with light, giving it a sense of life.
Everyone was moved by that gentle expression.
shoot it
This didn’t last very long.
Took!!
The flat parchment the statue was holding fell to the floor.
Permission was dropped.
I promise to be a light for this ship in the future.
“Walk in front of the boat! Throw the existing player statue into the sea.”
“Uh… … ?!”
Everyone looks surprised.
Only now did you notice.
4 anchor loops on the back. The statue was the same as a standard player statue.
The reason why there is a standard specification for the athlete statue is that sometimes the athlete statues in ancient times are still being used.
with a plop!
The golden dragon, symbolizing the Serang Empire, fell into the sea.
There is no time to sell anywhere.
Even if you try to melt it down and use it, no one will dare to melt it down.
Even if it’s a smithy on a pirate island.
Chunk!
A new figurehead was hung over the bow.
That alone gave the ship a feeling of blessing.
psychological stability.
“Little. Shouldn’t this be put back on?”
Hermi, a magic engineer and chief engineer, showed curiosity.
She crouched down in front of a piece of parchment that had fallen from the statue.
‘Why are you doing that in front of me!’
Whenever I look at it, that bikini is burdensome.
“I was thinking of asking my sister for a favor. That’s great.”
Ryan shifted his gaze slightly to the side.
A lot of attention is paid to the bikini.
“huh? Could it be that you know what this is?”
“Radar.”
“huh?! What do you mean?”
“It responds to energies like aura, mana, and holy power. Responds even when people are together. However, it requires some equipment to use it.”
The figure of a player is one of the most advanced items that can be used as a radar.
It’s something that can only be obtained later in the story.
Approaching the Hebrides, the hometown of pirates, and bombarding nearby stone islands?
It is impossible unless you become the king of a country.
When pirates unite, they equal the naval power of a country.
So the owner of the pirate island was called the pirate king.
But that doesn’t mean that the pirate king is really the king of pirates.
Just the owner of a pirate island.
Pirates bow their heads moderately to the pirate king to receive a port of call, but are not loyal.
The Pirate King doesn’t even want that.
“Can I just make the mana circuit pass through the floor?”
“bingo. Then your curiosity will be automatically answered.”
“How the hell did you get this knowledge… … .”
“My mother’s family is the countess of Eili Island. hehehehe!”
At those words, this time Charlotte Berry tilted her head.
“yes? If you’re not interested in books… … .”
But it doesn’t seem like he’s thinking too deeply.
It was just a little blurry that seemed to have other concerns.
“Rather than that, how do I make an Auror… … .”
It hadn’t been long since he had opened Manaro in his body, but he was already worried about that.
After teaching her to stand, she wants to know how to run before she even walks.
“Then, please install it right on the bridge. sister!”
“okay. What a difficult thing.”
At Lian’s words, he went straight down to the engine room and brought some equipment with him.
He had the same personality as a doll, but his skills seemed clear.
“Status window!!”
Ryan shouted in case he didn’t know, but there was nothing like that.
The reason why he suddenly did this was because he was curious about Harumi’s abilities.
In terms of ability, I thought it would be roughly A-class.
“Oh oh. After all, the holy relics are amazing.”
She was intrigued by the radar starting to work.
Even Rihanna was surprised.
“wow. really. It’s like a radar… … .”
Light shone on the piece of parchment, and a long line, like a clock, circled around a circle.
As the line passed, something came and went.
It looks similar to the radar seen in movies or dramas.
“uh?!!”
By the way, I understood that there are dots near the pirate island.
“west… Captain. What is faintly behind the stone island? like… Are you a sea monster?”
Although the communication wizard made a fuss.
There was nothing above the sea.
