[ Episode 284. Island of Ghosts]
The place we are currently located at is the southwest end of the continent.
It was quite far from the empire, so it was a special way to submit the annual leave.
At the beginning of the sester, I don’t think there’s anything I can do, but as a professor, I still have to keep the minimum order.
‘As long as you have the skills, you’ll be fine…’ Even
Burial, who was famous as a disciple of Salem, was hired as the head of the Faculty of Magic, Rodlen Academy.
As long as I can prove my skills, I don’t interfere well with anything I do.
Of course, the professors whose lectures were assigned were guaranteed freedom as long as they did not skip lectures.
“friend! Fog! It’s fog!”
As I stared blankly at the horizon, Luna ran up from sowhere and grabbed my collar.
When I looked at the bow at her words, I began to see the sea covered by fog in the distance.
“It’s thick.”
In the ga, it passed by, but in real life, it seed that I couldn’t distinguish the front at all.
If he hadn’t co with the Kinein rcenary Corps, going to the island with the ruins wouldn’t have been easy.
The Kinane rcenaries were adept at the sea as they were the group holding onto the Truburn Islands.
In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that he is a rcenary and pirate.
“Retract the midsail!”
“Five degrees to starboard!”
As they slowly entered the fog, the rcenaries who acted as sailors were busy moving and shouting.
“Adrias Cromwell.”
In the anti, Pycy appeared out of nowhere and spoke to .
“yes.”
“I knew you were an unexpectedly strong wizard, but I want you to respect my opinion as much as possible in the ruins. What do you think?”
It still didn’t look like it was going to fight.
He just felt that he wanted the expedition to the ruins to go smoothly.
“As you know, all the knowledge about the ruins is in my head. I took the route and gave it to Kinein, but I burned all other information and only I know.”
“I have no intention of interfering. Excavation of ruins is the result we all want.”
“……I want you to make sure you have the right to command. The authority to give you orders in case of ergency.”
Pycy, still covered by the hood, humbly asked for a favor.
The term servile would be more appropriate, but there is no need to belittle it.
“great.”
“thanks.”
She nodded in a bright voice and tried to return to where her group was. Then he suddenly stopped and muttered as if to listen.
“Now I understand why the stranger made such an unconventional choice. At first, I thought you were a puppet.”
“Not just Paissy, but most people would think so. They are aiming for that in the first place.”
“……I don’t want to pretend to be with you.”
“Neither do I.”
Did you think I would beco the head of the faction?
Still, as the saying goes, if you wear it on your nose, it’s a nose ring, and if you wear it on your ears, it’s an earring.
Now that I’m the leader, I hope everyone looks down on .
Just like you did with Pycy, you’ll be able to catch her off guard and grab her at once.
Koo-Goo-Gung—
Ki-Ik!
“Fuck you! Three degrees to the left!”
“Three degrees to the left!”
Even while the conversation between and Pysh continued, the deck reminded of a battlefield.
Actually, we had magic and there was a way to survive, but the general rcenaries were desperate because the life of this ship was the sa as their own.
“Vivian Noah.”
Paisy backed away and I called the two people around .
“Prepare for battle soon.”
“battle?”
Noah asked with dead eyes.
In contrast, Vivian drew her sword without questioning.
“Tell our rcenaries and Luna to prepare just in case.”
“No, I tell you to prepare when you know what’s going on.”
When Noah grumbled and moved his body according to the command, the expected attack began.
Kujijik!
“Huh?”
The boat tilted as if it had been caught by sothing.
Soon there was a slight clanking noise from the lower part of the ship, and sothing began to climb onto the deck.
-Quarreuk?
– Quak!
The first gateway to the island where the ruins sleep.
It was an undead in the sea.
“Prepare for battle!”
As soon as he saw the undead, the atmosphere imdiately changed.
It was like the Kinein rcenary Corps, with the rcenary King as its owner.
Even when the mbers saw the undead starting to co up to the deck, they imdiately responded without showing any panic.
“haha! Good good!”
Hearing the commotion, Muto, who appeared on the deck before he knew it, shouted with a smile on his face.
“This is clear evidence that there are ruins! Break through everything and head for the ruins!”
““Ohh!””
Very excited.
Anyway, because I told you beforehand, we were able to resist without panic.
Kwajik!
-Kureuk!
– Ugh!
There were a lot of undead with a fishy sll, but they weren’t that strong.
Thanks to this, soone shouted at the mont when the number was reduced without difficulty.
“The ship is sinking!”
“Why are these bastards destroying a normal ship!”
At the mber’s cry, the boat we were on was slowly tilting to see if water was coming in.
Apart from easily blocking the undead, it seed that the ship had suffered a blow.
“This is a bit difficult……”
Muto cut down the undead and shouted towards and Pycy.
“Can you close the hole in the ship? Our kids can swim, but the mont they fall into the water, they will all be killed by the undead.”
“We have to find the hole first.”
Paisy summoned the undead and said.
The summoned undead went into the water to find a hole in the boat, but were soon eaten by the undead in the sea.
“Tsk.”
Pissy, tongue-tied, turned her gaze to .
Are you asking to solve it?
“Muto.”
“why! Hasn’t it been resolved yet?”
“If I save you, the share you promised to give earlier will not be there.”
“what?”
Muto cursed at with his eyes, asking what I was talking about in this situation, but I said it shalessly.
“I will also have a stake in Shahi Shamad. If you give 10%, I will save them all.”
“Heh heh heh. I will.”
In any case, no one in our party was weak enough to drown.
If I don’t help, only Shahi Shamad and Kinane rcenaries will be hit.
Fortunately, Gardion of Shahi Shamad imdiately accepted my proposal.
“Thanks to soone, I ca out to sea on a boat…!”
“In return, didn’t you take more when you first distributed the shares?”
The boat was now leaning at an angle of almost 30 degrees.
The situation will soon turn completely upside down.
“older brother! If this happens, all of our children will die except and my older brother!”
Just in ti, the vice-captain and younger brother Suzan shouted, and Muto waved his hand.
“I got it! So please solve it quickly!”
“All right.”
This crisis will pass like this, but will this be the end?
Anyway, I also needed their help in the ruins, so I imdiately rolled mana.
Blasphemy!
Starting around , my stomach slowly began to freeze.
“Crazy…….”
“Wow!”
I heard the voices of Pissy and Luna, and I rolled the inverse circuit in my mouth.
It’s difficult to freeze the sea with simple magic.
– Freeze.
Kwaddeuk!
Almost all the mana poured out and began to freeze the ship and the sea around it.
Thanks to this, the undead that ca up from the sea stopped and the sinking of the ship stopped.
“haha. What the hell is this…….”
A rare scene that happened in the middle of the sea.
Even the fog that had spread around it froze and scattered ice crystals.
“Haha, I can’t really say anything.”
Muto murmured and looked around, then turned his gaze to .
“It’s worth the money!”
“I’m glad you were satisfied.”
“But how do we get to the island now?”
“You can walk.”
I answered and pointed forward to see an island through the frozen, dispersing mist.
And between the ship and the island, the sparkling ice road continued as it was.
“Was Warlock the Earl of Cromwell? No, I use magic right away…….”
“Haven’t I benefited from using it late? Let’s go ahead of that.”
At my shaless words, Muto looked at with an expression as if there were all these guys.
I ignored Muto and started walking towards the island.
“As expected, Adrias.”
“and! Friends are great!”
Vivian and Luna followed after and soon everyone started walking down the ice path I had made.
“Adrias Cromwell! I knew you were a warlock, but it’s not just a matter of being a warlock or not. How did you get your mana?”
Pycy, who had been following behind, spoke in a tone that he couldn’t stand.
Since you already gave the correct answer, I have nothing to say.
“As you said, I have a little bit of mana.”
“little? A little bit?”
Paisy said, still excited.
Seeing her like that, Vivian sneaked up to her and was wary.
“Is it related to the ability to handle both swords and magic?”
“well.”
“I want to study it.”
I felt like I was losing my mind when he said that he wanted to test in vivo.
Well, there was no choice but to do so, among the many wizards, the one with the greatest mana consumption was the necromancer.
If there are corpses around, the summoning is determined by the amount of mana regardless of the number.
To the necromancer, mana was the root itself beyond many.
“Back off.”
said Vivian fiercely, displaying her montum.
Then, realizing his mistake, Pycy stepped back and distanced himself slightly.
“I was excited and showed ugliness. Forget what you just said.”
“Do you often do biological experints?”
I asked, conscious of Noah walking ahead.
“of course. For a necromancer, the study of the living is perhaps more important than the study of the dead.”
also raises doubts
It was said that Ivy killed the warlock who captured them, but it was Noah who was subjected to the experint.
In short, the black magician Ivy killed could have actually been the experint with Paish’s subordinate.
‘It’s odd that I didn’t recognize it for sothing like that.’
Noah seed unsure, and above all, Paisy seed completely unaware.
Of course, he may have forgotten the subject, but the mory of a wizard as good as Pycy surpasses that of the criminal.
It’s hard to understand that such a Pissy didn’t recognize it.
‘Is there sothing more or am I missing sothing?’
While I was thinking, I almost arrived at the island before I knew it.
A hidden island with ancient ruins.
Since the island had no na in the ga, I called it Ghost Island for convenience.
“What is that? person?”
“A person…?”
At that ti, the Kinein rcenaries who were walking ahead were agitated.
Where their eyes were directed, a well-dressed man was standing on the beach waving his hand.
“Do people live here?”
“Isn’t it a ruin?”
Then Muto shook his head and said.
“I am not a person.”
There is an episode that you experience when you first enter this ghost island.
That’s right…
“Guests are here. Welco to our kingdom.”
A whitish appearance that beca evident when viewed up close.
The one who can see that no one is alive.
It was a welco ssage from an undead NPC.
