Episode 119
I asked the foreman.
“What is this butler’s name?”
“This butler?! What the? You! Ah! I see you know this butler, you punk. Yes, you’re a spy from the Ark Church.”
“These butlers, their names are Lee Byeong-do, Lee Su-ho, Lee Jong-heon, Lee Myeong-su, Lee… … .”
I have listed the names of possible characters.
Most of them were deacons of the Ark Church, but there were also some who ran away from the Ark Church, like Nurse Jang.
The leader raised the corners of his mouth and sneered.
“You little punk. Look at you pretending not to know. Do you think I’ll fall for your tricks?”
The foreman extended his hand toward me.
But he couldn’t stop me from quickly stepping back because he had his other hand on the railing and his waist was pulled back.
I quickly jumped up and climbed up to the ceiling of the crane operator’s cabin.
“You little spy! Are you running away? Where are you going on that crane?”
The foreman yelled, but didn’t follow me up to the roof of the cab.
I was just holding on to the railing.
If you look closely at this guy, he seems to have a fear of heights.
Like the awkward movement that tried to grab me just a moment ago, or the way I pushed my subordinate away.
And after the fireboat sank, they had no choice but to come up.
The leader spoke as if cursing.
“Unless you can fly, there’s nowhere to run. You’ll have to come down eventually. And when that happens, our kids will be very happy to see you. Because you’ll never be able to attach your arms, legs, head, or fingers to your body again.”
I woke up and looked down at the sea.
The sea was turning black from the oil spilled from the fire boats.
Bomi will see the oil soon.
I wanted to find out more about the relationship between the Ark Church and the Goldtooth Pirates, but the captain didn’t seem like he would tell me anything, and I didn’t have much time left.
“What should I do? I appreciate the welcome, but I’m not going down on deck.”
I jumped and climbed onto the jib.
The jib was slippery because of the water.
And because it was a truss structure made of iron pipes, it wasn’t easy to move, but I moved lightly.
After training in the West Sea Dongjeong Jinkyung, my body balance and flexibility have noticeably improved.
“What the heck is that spy kid? Is he a circus troupe?”
The instructor stuck out his tongue at my acrobatic movements.
I moved to the end of the jib where the chain was hanging.
“Haha. Now, if you have somewhere to go, go ahead. Are you afraid of us and trying to commit suicide? Please, don’t commit suicide. You won’t die even if you jump into the sea from this height anyway. And if you’re in the sea, it’ll be easier for us to catch you.”
The captain shouted to his men gathered on deck.
“Guys! That spy bastard looks like he’s about to jump into the sea, so everyone get ready and catch him.”
The pirates began to move busily.
But they didn’t have time to prepare.
Because an unidentified fire flew across the sky.
Someone on deck shouted.
“It’s fire!”
“Fire? Where?”
A flaming arrow was flying towards the place where the person who shouted raised his hand.
It was a fire arrow shot by Bomi.
Long-range arrows fired from large longbows may have been less destructive than cannons, but they had several advantages.
It had excellent range and boasted high accuracy in long-range shooting.
And while shells do not explode when they fall into the sea, fire arrows, if the conditions are right, could set the sea on fire, just like they do now.
Before leaving for the fireboat, I gave instructions to Bomi, who was feeling restless.
When the sea turns black, shoot a fire arrow.
When they realized what the fire arrow was, they screamed and cursed.
“Ahhh! No!”
“Damn it! This is going to be X. This is going to be a sea of fire! F**k!”
The fire arrow landed squarely on the oil spilled from the fire boat.
Soon, a red flame burst out, engulfing the sinking fireboat.
The fire boats were now unable to even salvage the wreckage.
The fire quickly spread to surrounding ships, including the barge.
“Water! Water!”
“What kind of water is this when there is no water to drink?”
People were confused and didn’t know what to do.
As it literally became a sea of fire, the work boats around the barge began to flee with their tails set on fire.
However, barges were unpowered vessels used to transport cargo over relatively short distances, such as within ports or estuaries, so they needed tugboats to help them escape.
But no ship approached the barge because towing it would have slowed it down and caused it to burst into flames.
“around!”
“Come back. You have to take us with you. You bastards!”
The men on the barges shouted and shouted, but the three-inch-long ships did not turn around.
The foreman shouted from the top of the crane.
“Sea water! Scoop up some sea water and throw it at me, you idiots!”
Only then did people come to their senses and begin to scoop up sea water.
The fire seemed to be under control, but waves created by other boats fleeing the scene surged in, covering the barge with burning oil.
The fire began to spread to the cargo loaded on the deck of the barge.
Boom! Boom!
There was an explosion on deck, possibly due to the presence of inflammable material.
People nearby were lifted into the air and jumped into the sea with their bodies on fire.
The deck was engulfed in flames, and the fire spread to the crane, which was tilted by the impact of the explosion.
“Spy! You’re the one who created this sea of fire! I’ll catch you and kill you no matter what.”
The foreman gritted his teeth and climbed up to the ceiling of the crane operator’s cabin.
And after taking a moment to catch his breath, he jumped over with a jib.
My left foot sprained and I almost fell, but I managed to grab the truss rebar and climb back up onto the jib.
“Whew~! That was almost a disaster.”
The captain’s face, which had been terrified, relaxed a little, as if his fear of heights had been overcome a little.
“I’m going to go now, so if you can run away, try to run away.”
The captain shouted confidently, but he climbed up the jib in an ugly posture with his butt sticking out.
“Okay, come quickly. I’m bored of waiting.”
I yawned, got up, and jumped up and down on the jib as if I was doing a seesaw.
The jib shook violently and the terrified captain clung to it without moving an inch.
“What are you doing? Stop! Stop it!”
“Okay, I got it. If you tell me to stop, I have to stop. Well then, I’ll be going now.”
I waved to the captain and tried to jump into the sea.
At that moment, a pirate flag hung at the end of the jib came into view.
That might come in handy later.
If it’s useless, you can at least use it as a foot scrubber.
I grabbed the pirate flag and jumped into the sea.
The foreman shouted, extending his hand toward me.
“Wait. Wait! How did you get up here?”
The leader ended up like a dog chasing a chicken.
I had no choice but to go back, but the crane was already engulfed in flames.
The fire horse was quickly climbing the jib, showing its red teeth.
Even though it would only be temporary, the captain tried to climb up to avoid the fire.
But soon I couldn’t move from that spot, as if I had developed a fear of heights again.
Eventually, the crane collapsed in the fire, and the captain fell into the fire pit on the deck.
The bargemen dived into the water to escape the fire.
Among them were the Goldtooth Pirates and slaves called water purifiers.
The Goldtooth Pirates threatened people with weapons even in the water and tried to climb onto their backs somehow.
“You little water purifiers. Hurry up and pick us up, and swim to that pirate ship over there.”
He whipped the slaves as if he was driving horses.
However, they were unable to control their own bodies, so they either sank into the water or floundered forward at a slower speed than a turtle.
Since there was a distance to the pirate ship’s fleet, it seemed that the pirates boarded them to conserve stamina.
When the slaves have exhausted all their stamina and are no longer useful, they will probably be discarded.
The Goldtooth Pirates had been unlucky since they heard the story about the water substitute, and seeing this made them even more unhappy.
I dived and approached the pirates.
They never dreamed that there would be a grim reaper at their feet.
“Ahh!”
“Ah! My leg!”
One by one, the pirates floating on the water began to struggle and then sank into the sea.
The pirates were surprised by the sudden disappearance of their comrade.
“What! Why are you doing that?”
“What’s wrong? Do you have a cramp in your foot?”
Several men tried to rescue their comrades, but the pirates, who had begun to sink, desperately held on to those who approached them as if they could not swim at all, refusing to let go.
Because of that, even the person who was trying to help was dragged into the water.
Only then did the pirates realize something was wrong.
“I think there’s something in the water.”
The pirates put their heads under the water or dived into the water.
Then a red-tinted sea came into their sight.
Blood was gushing like a fountain from the legs of my sinking comrades.
There was a long scar on his knee, including his calf, which clearly showed that he had been attacked by something.
They waved their arms desperately, but they couldn’t splash, so they sank into the sea like heavy lead.
“Who attacked the leg?”
The pirate who came up to the surface shouted.
“What is really in the water? What is it?”
“How would I know? I can’t see anything because of all the blood and foam.”
The bearded pirate shouted at the grumbling pirate.
“Go back into the water and check.”
“I just came up.”
“So, you’re not going to go down? I don’t know who attacked you in the water, but he’s going to attack us all anyway, right? We have to get rid of him quickly. If we’re not careful, we’ll get hurt too. So go back into the water!”
At the beard’s urging, the pirates grabbed goggles, harpoons, and long swords and dove back into the water.
But this time too, the culprit was not found.
The blood and bubbles obscuring my vision were a problem, but I had already escaped the scene using the West Sea Dongjeong Jinkyung’s light attack method.
