The Captain Who Uses Map Hacks - Chapter 132



Only Krnovel

Episode 132 blue and black (1)

The night of the festival was a night of silence.

Lanterns hung under the roof light up the darkness.

Masked acrobats performed tricks next to the fire.

The dancing, singing, and laughter continued.

Not even the winter cold can stop them.

On the other hand, the port was as quiet as another world.

The sound of waves crashing in.

Whioooh the sound of the wind blowing.

The sound of untied sails fluttering.

The sound of wood being stepped on.

“Captain Lee Man-seok.”

Patton spoke to me while I was watching the sea.

When I turned my head, the moonlight illuminated the port.

A procession of sailors loading luggage onto a ship.

It was completely different from the night of the festival that lasted all night.

“Why do you do that, Patton?”

Patton squinted at the parade of sailors.

As the last box was loaded onto the ship, he cleared his throat.

“Preparations for departure are complete.”

“Then let’s leave quickly.”

“yes. But captain. “It’s a long-awaited festival. How about having some fun?”

I clicked open the compass.

A bright blue, round map core popped up.

The smiling faces of people fill the map hack screen.

Dancing happily. A cheerful scene.

All I could see were things that looked good.

“It would be a nuisance if we intervened.”

“No, Captain! Captain, you deserve to have some fun! Honestly, if it wasn’t for the captain, the rebels would have taken the king’s head a long time ago.”

Patton chatted while spitting in the moonlit night.

“But if you stay without notice, you will be a nuisance to King Miheon.”

“What a nuisance?”

I raised my head and looked up at the sky.

White snowflakes fell in the wind.

“It’s winter, and supplies are wasted on celebrations.”

Winters on the Gawiana continent are long and harsh.

Winter lasts half the year, twice as long as on other continents.

There was already a lot of consumption of supplies due to the civil war.

I can’t waste it on a festival I don’t want.

Scissors and Continent are now my business partners.

“Ugh. “Captain, don’t you even rest?”

“I’m taking a break whenever I can, so don’t worry, Patton.”

I patted Patton on the shoulder and got on the boat.

Grumpy Patton followed me into the boat.

When I got up on the deck, I realized what this was.

The flight attendants were lined up in two rows.

“Why are you so rigid?”

“The captain told you to collect it.”

Patton puffed out his lips and grumbled.

I worked with Malcolm on the Scissors and Continent.

Have you picked up the grumbling habit from Malcolm?

“Anyway, I called you to settle the bill, so relax.”

“What are you settling for?”

“You didn’t just stay on the Gawiana continent for a day or two.”

I took out a pen and notebook.

“Let’s organize what we’ve all been doing so far and then let’s go.”

“aha! “Then shall I start?”

“Patton, you don’t have to. “You went with me.”

“When I think about it, I guess so.”

Patton scratched his head with a sheepish look on his face.

“Anyway, let’s see. First of all, Mason. “Let’s do it first.”

Mason, with a gaunt face, smiled faintly.

He carried a box covered in cool azure silk.

“Captain Lee Man-seok. Jewelry you ordered… .”

Mason scoops up the cloth.

In the darkness, the sea opened its eyes and looked at me.

“It came out. “It will be the masterpiece of my life, Alexandrite Cat’s Eye!”

I put on soft gloves and picked up the gem.

Blue like deep sea water.

Colors that change every moment depending on the angle of lighting.

The golden line in the middle looked like a cat’s eye.

“It was a good gemstone, so there was no need to cut it too much.”

“It’s a great gem. “We can send it to the Royal Museum.”

I put down the jewel after fully appreciating it.

“It was a lot of work to do the work.

“No, captain. “You saved my life, so I have to do my best.”

He smiled weakly.

“Thank you for giving me this great opportunity. Thanks to you, I also grew.”

Mason bowed lightly and stepped back.

“good night. Warren next?”

Mason’s close friend Warren held out a notebook.

The notebook was old and worn, and even the paper was dangling.

But the content… .

“It’s a large-scale map, right?”

“exactly. “A map of the river basin extending from Mulgol village to the capital.”

After looking at the map carefully, I took out a compass.

Click to open the map hack and compare it with the map.

Warren’s map was much more detailed than I expected.

‘Although it’s not comparable to my map hack, it’s good enough… .’

At this level, it could be treated as a strategic resource.

Enough to fetch a lot of money if you submit it to the Carmena royal family.

Or you can sell it at auction to merchants.

Merchants visiting Scissors or the Continent would be clamoring to buy them.

“When did you make this?”

“Treasure hunters are of little use during war.”

Warren answered in his characteristic serious voice.

“So I volunteered to be a scout. “I learned the geography by running around on my own, and drew a map with the help of local people’s testimonies.”

“Warren. It’s a great map. great job.”

“Captain Lee Man-seok. “Take the map with you.”

“what. “It’s a map you made, and you dispose of it.”

I no longer regret money.

I have three businesses, one on each continent.

Plus, there was a lot of money stolen from the noble council.

I am no longer the type of person to be swayed by a small amount of money.

“Thank you.”

Warren put the map away and bowed to me.

I also took this opportunity to see Warren again.

I never thought I would make a map during that crazy time.

“good night. Next is Simon. you… “No, what is this?”

Simon came whining and carrying a cargo box.

“Captain Lee Man-seok! “This is clothes!”

He slammed the box down at my feet.

“It’s clothes woven from the silk thread of the Scissors or the Frost Silkworm of the Continent!”

Simon smiled confidently and opened the box.

Cold air flowing out as if the freezer had been opened.

A bluish color like a snowy dawn.

Clothes that are as cold and beautiful as soft ice.

We were piled on top of each other, corresponding to the number of crew members.

“Did you make a shirt out of that precious silk?”

“yes! Captain. My name is Simon, the tailor. “I thought.”

Simon carefully picked up a pair of light blue clothes.

“When following Captain Lee Man-seok’s rough voyage, what are the most necessary clothes?! That’s exactly… !”

He tried to fit the shirt onto his body.

“It’s a protective suit that will never leave my body, anytime, anywhere!”

“Have I had such rough sailing?”

“sure! The “black storm” throws the ship and makes it fly in the sky! You’ll be fighting a Kraken bigger than a sailboat! Fighting against hundreds of ships in a raging storm!”

Simon told a story about old times.

“And then climb the cliff barefoot! Climb the mountain too! “I heard you once got lost in an underwater maze?”

The underwater maze is probably about the blue mansion.

I think Walter, who went with me at that time, talked about it.

“what… It did.”

“Besides, there’s even war on the Gawiana continent! As if war wasn’t enough, he also fought a tiger the size of a house!”

Simon put the dressing gown he was holding onto my body.

The size fits perfectly as if measured with a ruler.

It was hard to believe that it was made by eye.

“So I just made it into a shirt I’ll wear forever!”

I took the shirt from Simon.

The light, soft, yet strong fabric had the potential to repel even a decent blade.

“Thank you, Simon. “I owe you a lot.”

Simon grinned like a prankster who had been praised.

“yes! Captain! “Call me anytime you need!”

“I’ll talk to you again if anything needs to happen. Well, next… .”

“Is it my turn?”

Walter walked out, his wooden legs creaking.

“Walter. Do you have anything to report?”

“The progress of the Gawiana civil war, the composition of the rebels and the regular army, the differences in strategy between the two sides, the movement routes of civilians and post-war processing.”

Walter said things like a retired military officer.

“Are you going to report everything to me?”

“I decline. “I just accept it with gratitude.”

“The young guy is dead. Anyway, I had quite a bit of fun… .”

Walter opened his mouth wide and yawned.

“I was bored to death after the war, kid!”

“There must be a lot of things to do on the Scissors continent, right?”

“It wasn’t much fun! “You’d rather take me to catch a tiger, or take that ignorant big guy with you?”

Patton pretended not to hear and picked his ears.

“Then Walter. Would you like to take a leisurely stroll?”

“done! Now what? Anyway, from now on… .”

He pounded the deck with his wooden leg in frustration.

“I will find my own fun.”

I thought that would be better for me and Walter.

Above all, he was the bodyguard of the second prince, Leon.

Even if you leave it alone, it will take care of itself.

“Still, I’ll leave a seat empty on the boat.”

“Of course! Are you going to make this old man sleep on the street?”

“You’re old. “You look much livelier than me.”

“You’ve become as skinny as a kidney bean pod! Special training starting today… .”

“Walter. “Please stop going in.”

Walter’s special training? That once is enough.

Just thinking about it makes my arms and legs tremble.

“So next time, I will report.”

I explained the results achieved on the Gawiana continent.

He participated in the civil war and supported the king’s faction.

As a result, the war was won and the status of victorious general was secured.

“We have gained the trust of His Majesty Miheon, King Gawiana.”

The flight attendants applauded my words lightly.

“And I found Prince Lime, the third prince of Carmena Continent.”

Prince Lyme Carmena was on the Gawiana continent.

He even used the pseudonym Liam Cronan.

Without the protection of the royal family, he achieved success on an unfamiliar continent.

He said that one day he would proudly return to the Carmena Continent.

‘Have you been pushed out of a power struggle? I’m curious about the story behind it, but… .’

However, it is not easy to interfere with the affairs of the royal family.

If you make a mistake, you may be in big trouble.

“Anyway, other than that, we also secured new business.”

“What kind of business is that?”

A sailor suddenly raised his hand and asked:

“It’s distilled soju. “It’s a better drink than high-end whiskey.”

“Oooh!! Captain! Can we taste it too?”

“later.”

The sailors cheered and clapped as soon as I said anything.

In any case, sailors have no taste for alcohol.

“And again… .”

I thought for a moment about whether or not to tell the story of “The White Captain.”

But in the end I decided not to do it.

The people on our ship are all strong-willed people.

Or just guys who are as white and pure as a sheet of paper.

No matter what the god who appears in your dream says, you won’t hear it.

Or even if you hear it, you don’t understand it.

“I found the last remaining bluebird egg in the world. more.”

This concludes the settlement on Scissors and the Continent.

Now it is time to return to the Carmena continent.

* * *

The Gawiana Continent was far, far away.

So it takes several months just to return.

Still, unlike when I came, the way back was peaceful.

The stormy season has passed.

The Redbeard Pirates’ power shrank further.

They were planning to intervene in the civil war on the Scissors Continent and usurp the throne, but I destroyed that plan.

‘They tried to use the Blue Bird as a way to turn things around.’

But the blue bird rejected the pirates until the end.

He eventually died with them, leaving his egg behind.

‘At that time, I did bring the egg I received.’

I wanted to hatch the egg, but there was no way.

I can’t bear this little egg.

But are there any incubators that run on electricity?

does not exist. There is nothing similar to such a modern incubator.

‘There won’t be any other bluebirds to incubate the eggs, right?’

I clicked the compass and popped up the map hack.

Even if you search the entire ocean, you won’t find anything.

The only bluebird is this egg in front of my eyes.

There are no parents to take care of the eggs.

His parents were originally killed by the Redbeard Pirates.

Is the half-grown egg destined to remain trapped in the shell and rot?

Meow-

A soft crying sound was heard in the midst of my distracting thoughts.

Maru raised his head from my feet and looked at me.

“Maru. why?”

Maru jumped up onto the cabinet where the blue bird egg was placed.

It curled its body into a circle and incubated the egg.

‘A cat hatches a bluebird egg?’

I wonder if something like this is possible.

I couldn’t believe it even when I saw it with my own eyes.

Is this possible because Maru is not an ordinary cat?

This guy’s breed is Byeolmaru.

This is the messenger that the “Blue Woman” made herself.

Meow-

Maru yawned while embracing the egg.

Soon he fell asleep with a tired face.

As I was watching, I took out a pen and notebook.

I sketched a scene that I couldn’t believe even after seeing it.

* * *

One day after departing for the Carmena continent.

The cat Maru hatched a bluebird egg.

14 days since departing for the Carmena continent.

Sailors’ gambling operations were arrested.

The stakes were seashells, and the dice were improvised.

All were confiscated as gambling items.

It has been the 27th since departing for the Carmena continent.

Old man Walter sparred with Patton.

Walter, the wooden-legged old man, played with Patton most of the time.

Someone else tried to gamble with high stakes, so I quickly stopped them.

53 days since departing for Carmena Continent.

After a long time, we entered the landscaped water area.

So a fishing competition was held, and it was a huge success.

Because all the sailors who were bored with nothing to do gathered together.

I caught about 10kg of fish that day.

Thanks to this, the cat Maru was also feasted on.

78 days since departing for Carmena Continent.

The bluebird’s egg moved.

No, it wasn’t an illusion, it really moved.

I can say this with my compass and map hack.

Was it effective for Maru to incubate the egg?

It has been 83 days since departing for the Carmena continent.

The blue bird egg is shaking wildly!

About to hatch, no, the shell is now… !

“The shell is cracked!”

Damn. Take a look. Damn it—

A thick crack cracked the eggshell.

Maru was also startled and took a step back.

Damn it. Take a look. Damn.

I caught a glimpse of something inside the broken blue shell.

Soon the bird lifted its small head with all its might.

Oh my!

The bird woke up with half a shell on its head.

The wet blue fluffy bird blinked its black eyes.

Its small, black eyes met my black eyes.

Beep?

I finished writing my journal with trembling hands.

It has been 83 days since departing for the Carmena continent.

The world’s one and only final blue bird has hatched.
