Episode 131 Sweet and transparent dew (6)

When I returned to Mulgol Village, I was greeted by a festive atmosphere.

A lantern brightens up the alley at dusk.

People walking the streets with happy faces.

The happiest person among them was Patton.

“here! “Please give me another bowl!”

He has already eaten his fourth bowl of rice.

There were piles of leftover rib bones.

The boy carrying the food was shocked every time he saw it.

‘They eat their food as if they were fighting.’

Eating is not strange, but rather surprising.

I wondered where all that food went.

“hmm? Captain Lee Man-seok. “Do you have something on my face?”

“no. The sight of him just eating… .”

I glanced sideways at the dining table, which was devastated as if it had been bombed.

Only traces remain on the plate where the food was placed.

“It’s nice to see you eating, Patton.”

“lol. That’s it. “After wrestling with a tiger, I’m much hungrier than usual.”

Well, I fought a tiger with my bare body.

It was natural to be hungry.

It’s actually nice to be able to have a leisurely meal.

It would be a big problem if you got seriously injured.

“Captain Lee Man-seok, would you like some too?”

“I feel full just watching you eat.”

“lol. then… here! “One more bowl!”

As soon as Patton placed his order, the door swung open.

General Yoo Seok appeared in a military uniform, and for a moment I thought he was there to catch Patton, the thief.

Fortunately, he only glanced at Patton once.

It seemed like I had some business to do.

“Captain Lee Man-seok. “Your Majesty is calling.”

“Patton. Come back for a moment. “I’m eating leisurely.”

“yes! Captain! “I will follow your orders!”

I left behind Patton, who was chomping at the bit.

I walked down the hallway following General Yoo Seok.

The lighting was dim and the atmosphere was quiet.

The sound of people talking was like fog.

“Captain Lee Man-seok. “I heard you caught a man-eating tiger.”

While walking down the hallway, General Yoo Seok started crying.

“yes. That’s how it happened.”

“Are you sure you really caught the tiger?”

“Didn’t you see it with your own eyes, General?”

“It’s a monster that toyed with famous tiger hunters… .”

General Yoo Seok groaned softly and stroked his mouth with his hand.

“I didn’t know Captain Lee Man-seok would catch that.”

“I can’t catch it alone. “The person who took his life was Yuhwa.”

“My sister… .”

“Aren’t you proud of your sister?”

General Yoo Seok looked uncomfortable.

He ran his hand over his mouth and sighed lightly.

“It won’t be of much help in marriage… .”

“Yuhwa said she wanted to achieve independence through meritorious service.”

Tap, tap, tap. Jeez.

General Yoo Seok stopped walking and stood tall in his place.

He turned his head and looked at me with cold eyes.

“Did you even say that?”

“yes. For her achievements in the Scissors Civil War, and even for her subjugation of the man-eating Great Lake. “Isn’t this level of merit enough to become independent at home?”

General Yoo Seok silently glared at me.

But I’m not one to be scared.

I smiled bitterly and looked at General Yoo Seok.

In the end, the general sighed first and averted his gaze.

“The ordinary women of the Gawiana Continent… .”

He muttered as if making an excuse.

“I find happiness in marriage.”

“An ordinary woman doesn’t hunt a man-eating tiger.”

General Yoo Seok twitched his eyebrows after hearing what I said.

Does this mean that there has been a change of heart?

“Mr. Yuhwa is a rare and outstanding sailor.”

“You say oil painting is a sailor?”

“I boarded a ship and ate a sailor’s meal, so I am a sailor.”

I remembered the lobster sauce that Yuhwa ate.

Biscuits like bricks and cured meats like rock salt.

Human feed made by boiling them like porridge.

Yuhwa ate it, saying it was the taste of freedom she had longed for.

“General Yoo Seok.”

I put my hand on the general’s shoulder.

With as much faith as I can.

She smiled brightly at him and said.

“You have a wonderful sister.”

“… “Your Majesty is waiting inside.”

I nodded to the general, opened the door and went inside.

Yuseok, left alone in the empty hallway, lowered his head.

He mumbled something silently and thought.

Soon he gathered his courage and walked briskly.

Come on—

“It’s oil painting. “Let’s talk for a moment.”

* * *

In the room was the young King Miheon.

His face looked red, as if he had already had a drink.

Or maybe it was because of the candles lit in the room.

“Meet Your Majesty the King.”

As soon as he saw me, his face lit up.

“Ah, Captain Lee Man-seok! “It’s because it’s so hard to see your face!”

“sorry. “I’m so busy.”

“Sit down, don’t stand. “Let’s sit down and talk.”

I bowed to Miheon and sat across from him.

A few points before being dipped in oil on the drinking table.

There was a bottle of soju and two glasses.

“Would you like a drink?”

I shook my head lightly.

“I’m driving the boat.”

“but. “It’s a big problem if you drink and drive a boat.”

Miheon poured alcohol into his own glass and took it in one gulp.

“hmm. It tastes good. So, how did my errand go?”

“We sent everything we needed on Malcolm’s ship.”

“okay? “You actually didn’t send me the most important thing?”

That can’t be possible.

I checked the list Miheon gave me several times.

When I looked at him with suspicious eyes, Miheon burst out laughing.

“It’s you! “The protagonist of the war must come.”

He chuckled to himself and filled his empty glass with alcohol.

“Didn’t they suddenly say they were going to fight with Baekmyeonghoe? And then you take over the Baekmyeonghoe that went to fight? Besides, can you bring back the taste of alcohol that I lost before?”

Miheon, who was muttering to himself, took a swig of his drink.

“My charm! “It’s a good thing, but isn’t it too arbitrary?”

“As the ‘White Captain’ said.”

Miheon put down his glass and made eye contact with me.

We spoke at the same time as if we had made a promise.

“The freest person on the sea is a sailor.”

Miheon smiled happily and leaned back.

“Captain Lee Man-seok. “You don’t give a single word to the king.”

“So, Your Majesty. “What did you call me for?”

“Now I don’t even listen. Well, good. “Let’s get to the point.”

Miheon’s expression, which had been laughing drunkenly, completely changed.

As if the person had changed in an instant.

“What did they say at the Baekmyeonghoe?”

There was something to be guessed in Miheon’s question.

“The ‘White Captain’ appeared in my dream and I got an impulse.”

“… Tsk. As expected. “It’s similar here.”

Miheon took out a scroll and rolled it on the floor.

As the rolled up paper was unwound, numerous names were revealed.

“your majesty. “What is this?”

“This is a list of people who said ‘White Captain’ appeared in their dreams.”

Miheon turned the empty glass upside down and placed it on the table.

Like a promise not to drink anymore.

“From a fledgling captain to a renowned noble. “Most people want to take a boat ride on the Scissors continent.”

I looked at the directory in silence.

Black names densely filled the white paper.

The “White Captain” appeared to these many people?

And, you said the same thing?

“Did they also hear the words to conquer the sea?”

“The specific words were different, but the gist was similar.”

“Dominating the sea with power and completing .”

Miheon nodded silently.

“This is the first time the ‘White Captain’ has done anything like this.”

Miheon got up from his seat and wandered around the room.

Like a drunk trying to overcome the rising intoxication.

“I called in the royal librarian and searched through all the records. However, this ‘White Captain’s’ incident is unusual.”

It was the same for me too.

While playing the game countless times.

Has “The White Captain” ever appeared in people’s dreams?

I can swear it never happened.

“I want to know the cause of this abnormal phenomenon.”

“I have no choice but to ask the ‘White Captain’ himself.”

“That’s unreasonable. “No one can summon the ‘White Captain.’”

“White Captain” is the freest being in the sea.

It is unlikely that you will respond when called out.

But if you ask the other two gods… .

“I once asked ‘The Blue Woman’.”

“okay? What did the sea goddess say?”

“They said it’s a promise from the three gods, so I can’t say anything carelessly.”

Miheon sighed from deep inside his chest.

“I guess I didn’t get a proper answer. What should I do with this… .”

Miheon, who had been pacing around, stood in his place and thought.

He looked at the wall with serious eyes and touched his chin.

“If it’s ‘Black Storm’, it might tell you something.”

“Black Storm” is a very capricious and arbitrary god.

If “White Captain” is freedom, “Black Storm” is chaos.

He might break his promise and tell you the truth.

“But it is also unreasonable to summon a ‘black storm’.”

He accepts the sailors’ call.

The problem is that it brought about a shocking storm.

The place where the “black storm” passed is nothing but ruins.

“Isn’t there some clever way?”

“there is. “We are going to the territory of ‘Black Storm’.”

“Continent of Badum… .”

Miheon thought with an even darker look on his face.

He was lost in thought for almost ten minutes.

Badum Continent.

It is the most dangerous continent in .

A place where storms on the way to the Gawiana Continent occur all year round.

A sea of ​​death where no detour or trick can be used.

The only thing to trust is the abilities of the ship and crew.

“I’m going to the continent of Badum… “Are you serious?”

“yes. “I’m always sincere.”

“I get it. Captain Lee Man-seok. I guess I need to prepare well. “It will take quite some time.”

Miheon took out a letter from his arms and handed it to me.

“Then, deliver this to the Carmena royal family on your way.”

“What is this letter?”

“This is asking if the ‘White Captain’ is behaving strangely on the Carmena Continent as well.”

I stuffed the letter tightly into my pocket.

“I knew. “I will definitely tell you.”

“then… .”

Miheon sat down at the drinking table again and straightened the overturned glass.

“On your way out, enjoy the festival.”

“I will follow Your Majesty’s orders.”

* * *

In fact, there was no time to enjoy the festival.

A problem arose during the process of taking over Baekmyeonghoe.

They were a criminal group that was making numbers anyway.

It cost quite a bit to clear that past.

When, to whom, and how much damage was done.

What efforts were made to repair the damage?

etc.

“no! “That’s why I only lost my raw money!”

Malcolm was swearing and grumbling on the dockside.

“Isn’t it too harsh to treat a war hero?!”

“Just because I played a part in the war, does that mean I can do whatever I want?”

“But this is too much! Captain Lee Man-seok, you received two land documents, shared a drinking table with His Majesty, and made a lot of profit, but I… .”

He immediately held out a long wooden box.

“You only found one root of the herb of elixir!”

“That herb of elixir, it’s worth thousands of gold.”

As soon as Malcolm heard me, he quickly hid the box.

“And once the Baekmyeonghoe takeover is completed, your upper branch will be established on this Gawiana Continent, right?”

I lifted my finger and pointed at Malcolm.

“The branch manager is you. “That’s a lot.”

“… Hmm! “You have to take over!”

Malcolm quickly avoided my gaze.

“And, even if it’s acquired, it’s a problem. “Because there is no land.”

“earth?”

“Land to open a brewery! “You can’t make and sell alcohol in that cliff cave, right?”

Baekmyeonghoe’s hideout was definitely not suitable for making alcohol.

You won’t be able to extract enough volume to use for business.

“But I spent all my cash cleaning up after the hundred people meeting.”

If you don’t have money, you can’t buy land.

It was a natural and should have been a natural thing.

“How do you establish a branch of a trading company without land?”

“Then would you like to take this too?”

I waved the land document I received from Miheon.

One of the central ports of the Gawiana continent.

A yolk land dripping with honey.

The Gangha Village land document fluttered in my hand.

“Hey, Captain Lee Man-seok!! “You’re giving that to me?!”

Malcolm’s eyes were so wide that they almost popped out.

If you have a camera, you’ll want to take a picture.

“okay. “I’ll give it to you.”

“Really? wait for a sec. Are you going to talk about this again later?”

Malcolm took out his wallet.

“How much, how much?! I’ll buy it! “I’ll go to the Carmena Continent and give you the money you don’t have!”

“It’s free.”

“What? free? Hey, you cheater, where in the world is there anything for free?!”

I waved the land document in front of Malcolm, who was losing his temper.

His head whipped around like a fish seeing bait.

“It’s really free. “Here, take it.”

“… “You don’t want to say anything else later?”

Malcolm snatched the land document from my hand.

He stared at the paper, wondering if it was a forged document.

“It’s genuine. “How can I forge a royal seal?”

“But…” Then you really… To me… .”

Malcolm’s eyes were filled with emotion, and he was almost in tears.

“We’re giving land for free…” ?”

“The cost of my drink.”

Suddenly, Malcolm’s body stiffened awkwardly, like a mannequin.

“You, Malcolm Brown, agreed to give me your whole life instead.”

“… yes. Because I lost the bet. “Even now, just thinking about that time makes me feel hot inside.”

“And Baekmyeonghoe is planning to sell distilled soju, right?”

“… okay. Because there is a soju craftsman over here. Moreover, alcohol will sell well no matter what port you bring it to on any continent… Hey, hey, wait a minute, you couldn’t be… !”

I just smiled and shrugged my shoulders.

“Malcolm. “I will buy all the soju you make.”

Malcolm Brown pays for all my drinks.

Because he swore by his name to the sea.

“You pay for the drinks.”

“hey!! “You kind of a day robber!!!”

Malcolm grabbed my collar and cried.

“Where is something like that!!! Get back!! “Please step away!!”

“I’ll sell you alcohol at full price. “I will also pay a fee.”

“It’s my drink!! It’s my drink!! “You bastard!!”

“If it’s unfair, give the land back.”

“This bad… Ugh… .”

Malcolm was at a loss for words when talking about the land.

Ultimately, if you want to open a brewery, land is essential.

How can he, a foreigner who was robbed of cash, save land?

Is there anything else other than my land document?

“you… later… I will definitely take revenge… .”

Malcolm held the land document tightly and glanced at me.

I just lightly shrugged my shoulders.

“But there are good things too.”

“Good thing?? “You cut your nose with your eyes open?!”

“no.”

I cast my gaze into the distance.

Malcolm also turned his head to follow me.

A woman as beautiful as a winter snowflake was coming.

A sword at his waist.

On his head is a brown straw hat.

One small bag on my back.

“Yuhwa joined your ship as a crew member, right?”

“… Hmm! Well, well, that’s true, but… But Captain Lee Man-seok.”

Malcolm, who had been running wild all the time, calmed down and asked.

“Why our ship? “I thought you were going to take me on your boat.”

“There is no room for people on our ship.”

“ah. I see then… Captain Lee Man-seok… .”

Malcolm hesitated, then suddenly bowed to me.

“Thank you, thank you! “Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!”

I thought as I saw Yuhwa approaching with a smile.

A victorious general who made meritorious contributions in the war.

A woman who kills a man-eating Daeho.

Even if I put her on a boat, there would be no romance.

I took the compass out of my pocket and opened the lid.

Click.

Paaaa—!

A blue holographic sphere resembling a globe.

A map hack where you can see the entire ocean as clearly as the palm of your hand.

Looking at my map hack… .

‘Malcolm guy. ‘The road ahead is clear.’
