Episode 114 35. Uninvited Guests (2)

3.

Besik, the leader of the White Shark Pirates and the Empress’s sixth member, was drinking alcohol with a frown on his face in the captain’s cabin.

I didn’t feel good.

‘Our pirate group could have done it alone, so why did they have to send that bastard Edward along with them?’

All it took was a raid on a small elven village by the sea.

I thought it would be a good opportunity for me to make a mark on myself.

Wasn’t this an opportunity to monopolize the precious spoils of the elves?

If only they could monopolize that loot, it wouldn’t have been a dream to further expand the size of their pirate group.

But his sweet dream was shattered by the Empress’s orders.

-You’re just my dog. When I tell you to bark, bark. When I tell you to lie down, lie down. From the beginning, don’t even think about it. You’re a retard whose brain is filled with muscles. Do you understand?

“… …Fuck!”

Kwaaaaang-!

Besik, recalling the Empress’s insulting tone, banged his fist on the table and ground his teeth.

The table he had hit with his fist was shattered into pieces, but his anger did not subside easily.

It was annoying that he didn’t trust himself and chose someone else, but that guy happened to be Edward.

That is, the guy who is openly competing with you under the Empress’s command.

‘What do I know about hatchlings and such?’

The Empress ordered him to search for the ‘Hatchling’ and gave him a palm-sized scale as a means of finding the Hatchling.

Besik frowned as he touched the scales the Empress had handed him.

‘Pirates should just think about plundering like pirates, but what on earth is that empress thinking?’

The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became.

The anticipation I had when I first entered her service was nowhere to be found.

He was now fed up with the way the Empress treated him, like a hired hand.

It was at that time that Besik was soothing his anger with alcohol.

Bam.

“Boss! The pursuit party that chased the elf has returned! But… … .”

The door to the captain’s cabin opened and the adjutant came rushing inside.

Besik looked at his adjutant with a wrinkled face.

“however?”

“… … Only one guy came back. And his condition is strange. He keeps talking nonsense and says he needs to report to the boss himself… … .”

“Ha, these little bastards are acting all sorts of different ways now.”

I sent out a separate pursuit party of about ten people to catch one elf.

The elf wasn’t in good physical condition either.

The elf was hit squarely by the paralyzing needle he had thrown. It was clear that he would have fallen shortly afterwards.

“Bring that bastard back home alone right now.”

He spoke in a low voice.

A simple mission that could not fail, to return with the head of a paralyzed elf cut off.

When I heard that even that mission had failed, a deep unpleasantness rose in my throat.

“I left it waiting in front of the captain’s cabin just in case.”

The adjutant went straight out the door and dragged a man into the captain’s cabin.

Besik looked at the man, holding the huge battle axe that lay beside him in his hand.

“Why is your tail like that?”

A face that has turned dark and gloomy.

Not only that. The guy was constantly twisting his body. His mouth was constantly drooling, and he must have even peed himself, because the smell of urine was so strong.

“Two… … boss.”

The man spoke in a trembling voice.

“Please, let me live… … Please let me live… I feel like I’m going to die.”

“What happened to the rest of the pups?”

“Everyone… died… ….”

“So to whom!”

Pushuuuk-!

The axe of the beast mercilessly cut off the man’s right arm.

Blood gushed from the area where the arm had been cut off.

“These damn kids! They can’t even do that easy mission properly… … .”

Besik stopped talking and looked at his subordinate.

Even though his arm was cut off, not a single scream came out of this guy’s mouth.

“……under!”

He glared at his subordinate.

Somehow I felt like something was strange.

I had doubts about the fact that he was the only one who came back alive, but seeing it for myself made me certain.

“You idiot. You should have died there instead.”

Booooooooo-!

Once again the axe cut through the air.

Push-!

His axe mercilessly sliced ​​through his subordinate’s neck.

Then after a while,

Slurp-!

Something black began to flow out of the guy’s body and start to writhe.

Pitch black darkness.

The darkness quickly gathered together and soon took the shape of a black ball.

A thick magical power was felt in the ball.

Besik immediately grabbed the ball and said with a wicked smile.

“I understand now.”

A ball that can be felt as someone’s magic.

I wasn’t sure if it was magic or black magic, but one thing was certain.

“Our children weren’t killed by the elves.”

The sorcerer planted something in this guy’s body and then sent him back alive on purpose.

Elves would rather kill all the humans than resort to such cruel methods.

This was closer to the pirate way than the elven way.

“… … There’s a funny kid over there.”

Besik looked at the ball and smirked.

I felt someone’s gaze on me from beyond the ball. It wasn’t just my imagination.

Intuition. My intuition, honed over many years, told me that the opponent was looking through the ball into this place.

“I don’t think he would have done something like this just to be a Guanyin.”

It was while he was examining the ball with interest.

Bam-!

The adjutant who had been waiting in front of the door entered the captain’s cabin once again with an urgent look on his face.

He was momentarily horrified when he saw the body lying on the floor, but then he spoke to Besik.

“Boss, the condition of those who came into contact with that corpse is all strange! They are all crouching as if possessed by something, and they are gripped with fear!”

“Does that mean it’s contagious?”

“… … It seems so.”

At the adjutant’s report, Besik looked at the ball and smiled bitterly.

“As expected, you are one of the same type as us.”

A mean person who will do anything to win.

I could sense genuine malice in the opponent’s methods.

“All those who are in a strange state, behead them and throw them into the sea.”

He gave orders to his adjutant, then breathed magic into his hands.

Kwajijijik-!

Then the ball broke and soon scattered without a trace.

“It’s a good thing I had free time.”

You killed a pirate from the White Shark Pirates, so I will definitely repay that debt.

Wooooow-!

Magic power that had reached the 7th level began to surge from Besik’s body.

4.

Pick-.

The vision Pluto had been sharing was cut off.

Charon released Pluto, who looked obviously exhausted, and then muttered with a smirk.

“A guy who looks like a bear is quick-witted.”

The one who was planted in that guy named Hugo was Pluto’s clone.

I had expected that Pluto could be used in a variety of ways, but when I actually used it in a real battle, it easily exceeded my expectations.

“I guess I’ll have to use it often.”

Although it was difficult to use it freely in a place without darkness, I found that it could be applied in this way.

Charon, it seemed, would be able to make up for much of what he was lacking through Pluto.

‘It seems like the information that pirate told me is somewhat true.’

Thankfully, that pirate guy named Hugo did his job.

This means that as soon as he got away from Charon, he headed straight for his fleet.

Thanks to that, I was able to roughly finish cross-checking the information about the fleet that the guy had given me.

Above all, the 6th girl’s bestie.

The greatest achievement was being able to roughly estimate his level.

‘You mean 7 stars for a pirate theme?’

Skills that can easily subdue even average knights.

As expected, it was one of the forces that ruled the South Sea.

“Charon. The elf has awakened.”

As Charon was mentally organizing the information he had seen through Pluto, Leon approached Charon, supporting the elf.

Charon glanced away and looked at the elf.

Her complexion definitely looked better than before.

“It seems like I always meet elves in urgent situations.”

From Poina to Neria, Orion, and this elf.

If you think about it, these were not all ordinary situations.

And it was the same this time.

“Can you speak human language?”

Charon asked the elf in a casual manner.

Then the elf muttered in Elvish.

Since there was no one who could speak Elvish, Charon couldn’t help but look embarrassed.

But right then.

-Thank you for saving me, my benefactor… … he says.

Guillotine interpreted in an annoyed voice.

“Can’t we do two-way interpretation?”

-Will that work? He can’t hear my voice, you stupid master.

“If it doesn’t work, then make it work. Why are there so many things that the Demon Sword can’t do?”

Charon gave the guillotine a look of annoyance, then looked back at the elf.

Do I have to explain it with my body again?

“Leave it to me!”

Suddenly, Utula took something out of his trouser pocket.

A book with a brown leather cover appeared.

“Please, can’t you carry things like books in your backpack?”

Leo said, frowning.

But Utula answered proudly, pounding his chest.

“A good warrior always has a book close by. Leo, you need to read some books too.”

“I’m not stupid, you giant bastard.”

“No, you lack knowledge. Don’t you know the saying that knowledge is power?”

It was a heavy blow from Utula.

Leo froze with his mouth wide open at that remark, but Urtula paid no attention and spoke to Charon.

“This is an Elvish textbook. I bought it from Galad last time. I studied it in between my closed-door training, so I can use some basic vocabulary. Oh, it’s still hard for me to hear Elvish! I can only speak it.”

“… …Uttula.”

“Why are you doing that, Charon?”

“You’re smarter than you look.”

Utula usually speaks awkwardly, which gives the impression that he is a bit lacking.

Moreover, it is as big as a house.

Anyone who sees Utula can’t help but think that he’s stupid.

“The giants must travel around the continent and perform tasks! To do so, they must learn many languages.”

A giant who is good at languages.

Although it didn’t seem to fit, Caron decided to just watch.

“I’ll take care of the listening… … Just ask me how I ended up being chased by pirates.”

“I get it.”

At Charon’s request, Utula approached the elf. Holding an Elvish textbook in one hand, he began to speak something while gesturing with his hands and feet.

The elf answered in a small voice, as if he understood what Utula had said. Guillotine then immediately translated what the elf had said.

– I witnessed a scene where the Nagas’ ship and the human pirate ship were together. I tried to return to my people right away, but the pirates caught up to me in an instant.

“……get out?”

Beings that Orion had previously warned about.

The enemy of the elves who dominates the Great Forest Sea.

I heard they are a race that hates humans as much as elves, so why did they join hands with human pirates?

The problem doesn’t stop at just pirates.

This was clearly a serious threat.

‘Why on earth is Kerua hiding in a place like this?’

The dragon’s lair, pirates, and even the nagas that I saw while passing by earlier.

The place that the regent had told them was Kerua’s hideout was also not far from the village.

Even if it was just one, several coincidences overlapped.

Can all of this really be dismissed as mere coincidence?

‘no.’

That can’t be true.

This,

“It’s inevitable.”

It was almost like evidence that something was going on in the southern part of Daesurim.

Charon nodded slowly and looked at the elf.

“Take me to the village right now.”

There is no time.

There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
