Episode 20
EPISODE.10
‘Come to think of it… … .’
Before returning, I had heard a rumor that Daria had destroyed a pirate ship that was used for human trafficking.
‘I guess it was around this time.’
Human trafficking ship.
At best, it’s just a matter of subduing pirates.
If the city of Maldiva is here,
If it weren’t for Daria’s hometown, the tower owner wouldn’t have come forward in person.
Also, if she asked for support, the number of wizards who would come running barefoot was strong enough.
Nevertheless, Russell, he singled out me and told me to help him.
‘This is a test.’
I didn’t know what she was thinking when trying to test me, but her intentions were clear.
That fact was clearly indicated in the newly emerged mission window.
[mission]
Daria Snowwhite’s test.
Help her defeat the human trafficking ships (pirates) anchored in Maldiva Port and pass her test.
[compensation]
Lowest grade magic stone (edible), lowest grade magic stone (edible).
The reward is not that great.
But if you’re not a fool, you’ll understand.
The hidden reward of this mission is greater than what is revealed on the surface.
‘No matter what anyone says, it’s a test of cynicism.’
Daria’s eyes met Russell’s as if she had guessed his thoughts, and their eyes drew a soft line.
“Even though I am lacking, if it helps the tower owner, I will do my best to help.”
“Thank you. “It’s very reassuring.”
Daria giggled as Russell accepted.
“But before that-”
Then she lightly snapped her fingers.
Just-!
Then, the ends of the hair scorched by the flames were cut off, and the traces of battle buried here and there quickly disappeared.
Of course, it couldn’t even restore the damaged robe or clothes, but even so, the Clean magic was incomparably superior to his own.
“I guess I’ll have to buy new clothes first.”
.
.
“Hoo. “Unusually for a wizard, his clothes are quite shiny.”
Daria giggled as she looked at the dark robe and the matching inner attire.
According to the clerk, it was not black, but a charcoal-colored color.
It has luxurious colors, an appearance that looks like it was made by a skilled tailor, and even a lining fabric that gently hugs the body itself.
It was an expensive piece of clothing, not worth a penny or two at first glance.
Even when my father was alive, I don’t remember ever wearing clothes made of this material.
However, Russell’s face while wearing clothes was just uncomfortable.
“Lord Tower. Even if you don’t do this… … .”
“Okay. Since you decided to do me a favor, this is about the upfront fee. “Don’t worry.”
Because I have a lot of money.
Russell looked uneasy at the sight of Daria pounding on his wallet and ranting, but he couldn’t help it.
No, how is it possible that the owner of the Flame Pagoda doesn’t have money in the first place? And the problem isn’t just the amount.
Regardless of that
“Look here. “Could you please pay for these clothes?”
Daria called the clerk.
I quickly paid the price and finished the calculation.
“Oh, and if you don’t mind, please lend me some red thread.”
Immediately after, she borrowed a ball of red thread from the clerk and lightly moved her fingers.
Slurp-.
A red thread comes out along her fingertips and soon begins to carve a pattern onto Russell’s new clothes, on his chest.
A red rose burning in the shape of a flame.
It was a pattern that was the symbol of the Flame Pagoda.
“This… … Why to me?”
A question I asked because I hadn’t even entered the Flame Tower yet.
Of course, since the pagoda owner engraved it himself, he will not be punished for impersonating a member of the Flame Pagoda.
“You are doing this at my request. “As long as you are going through this, you are also part of the Pyeontap, so don’t worry.”
Swoosh, swoosh-.
She clapped her hands as the flame rose to full strength.
He continued speaking while using magic to cut the end of the thread cleanly.
“If you end up writing an application for admission to our tower later, don’t forget to add what happened today to your resume. “Don’t tell my manager in advance.”
Is it a joke or a serious thing to say while giggling?
When I finished paying and went outside, the sky was filled with a red sunset.
Considering that the end of the sunset is dark, it won’t be long before night comes.

“Night will come in a little while.”
According to Daria’s words, the pirate ship docks tonight.
“I guess I’ll have to get ready now.”
“okay.”
She nodded and led Russell to the port.
“They say they are resting at Maldiva Port, but they will not be able to dock at the port because they will have something to worry about.”
“then… … .”
“Maybe they would anchor the ship on the sea a little distance away from the port and take a rest.”
In the end, the story goes that Russell and Daria must use other means to reach the ship.
Naturally, Daria had already prepared the means.
“We are going to travel on this.”
“This… … .”
It was a small boat of an appropriate size for four to five people.
The problem was that the ship was too small to weather the storms of the sea.
‘No, that’s not the problem.’
If it is a human trafficking ship, there will be quite a few people caught there.
But where on earth is there room on this ship to take them back?
While I was thinking about that, there was a hand lightly tapping Russell on the shoulder.
It was Daria’s hand.
“Don’t worry. “If it’s a ship that brings back the captured people, all they have to do is take it from them.”
“ah-.”
In case of emergency, there will be several boats ready for escape.
Daria was planning to seize them and burn people.
‘Otherwise, you might be thinking of taking their entire ship.’
Because it would be more convenient for her.
“Okay then, let’s get started.”
As Russell got on the small boat, Daria lightly waved his hand.
Following the fingertips, the air currents surrounding the two people change subtly.
Squeak, squeal-
Even though there is no boatman, the oars start rowing and the boat moves on its own.
‘The wind around us became calm.’
Through the changes that occurred in the area, Russell guessed the type of magic Daria used.
‘A magic that reduces presence and blocks sound.’
Slam, splat.
Slam, splat-.
Let’s cross the sea and go around the small mountain that protrudes next to the port.
Soon, taking advantage of the shadow of the mountain and the darkness of the night, a huge sailing ship anchored in the middle of the sea appears.
‘That’s it.’
I wonder if my guys are getting stabbed either, so they are quietly anchored without turning on any lights.
Daria found the boat and slowly drove it.
He said as he pulled the boat to the side of the sailboat.
“I’ll go up first and get your attention. Child, you took advantage of that opportunity… … .”
“Would you mind going down and finding and rescuing the people who are being held captive?”
“You know me well.”
Even if you cause a commotion, there will be guys guarding down below, so be careful.
After speaking, Daria’s body slowly rose into the air.
The floating magic was performed.
At the same time, her body was engulfed in intense flames.
Grumble!
A presence as if the sun had risen in the middle of the night, not in the middle of the sea!
It was majestic enough to immediately grab the attention of the pirates on deck.
“Well, I… … !”
“It’s an attack! “It’s an attack!”
Dang dang dang dang—!!
The pirates who discovered Daria randomly rang alarm bells with urgent voices.
Regardless, Daria slowly climbed onto the pirate ship.
He said as he faced the pirates who were glaring at him.
“How dare you think of taking a rest in my hometown? These guys also have good guts. Let’s see if he has as much skill as his guts.”
“There just happens to be something good here.”
Her grip tightened on the sailboat’s railing.
Kwajeok, Ujikkeun-!
Then, the wooden railing is completely shattered, and the pieces fall into Daria’s hands.
Daria threw them into the air and infused them with magical energy.
“Go.”
Thump, thud-.
Then something surprising happened.
A piece of wood fell on the floor.
Flames rose from the piece of wood, and soon it began to tremble and transform into a human shape.
He is about 1.2m tall, a very tall fiery dwarf!
The number is exactly seven.
Daria Snowwhite.
Originality.
Dwarves of burning wood.
The originality magic of Daria, who had once captured a castle alone during a war with the Empire, was revealed.
Of course, it was a much weakened version compared to then, so no one recognized it.
“Warararara!”
“Rarrrrrrrrrr!”
Shouting onomatopoeias about blazing fire, the seven dwarves ran around the deck indiscriminately.
“Ugh, ugh!”
“What a monster!”
The presence of dwarves running around scattering flames in all directions was a nightmare for pirates.
“die!”
“You damn dwarves!”
Some pirates showed courage and swung swords or axes at the dwarves.
Of course, it was of no use.
Good luck!
As soon as it was split in two by the axe, it burst into flames and reattached its split body.
There-.
“Ugh!”
“It’s hot!”
“My hands are ripe!”
The intense heat flowed through the hilt and blade, until it cooked the palms of the pirates who attacked.
Chang, Chang, Kang!
Some pirates, unable to bear the heat, threw away their weapons on the spot.
“Happy birthday!”
Then, a dwarf jumps up and hugs a pirate.
The fierce fire that started from the dwarf spread quickly!
“Kwaaaaaak!”
Then, with a single scream, one of the pirates instantly turned into ashes and fell down.
What’s surprising is that even though the fire spread that much, not a single fire caught on the ship.
If the spark were to fly by mistake, harm could have been caused to even one of those caught.
A sight that clearly shows how excellent Daria’s magic control ability is.
“Good luck, good luck!”
The dwarf slowly stands up, leaving behind the once pirate.
The stage of the seven dwarves, the nightmare of pirates, has only just begun.
* * *
“You seem to be going on a rampage… … .”
Russell, who was waiting for the right moment while standing on a small boat, muttered.
There was no need to check the movement of magical power.
Even though it hadn’t been long since Daria went on deck, the pirates’ screams and swearing continued to pour out.
Moreover, even though the sun had set, it burned red on the deck as if the sun was rising.
It was then.
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-.
A rope came down from above.
It was a rope given by Daria to sneak Russell inside.
‘You plan to test me after all.’
It looks like running amok alone is enough for you.
Thinking like that, Russell gripped the rope tightly.
Then, taking advantage of the pirates’ attention on Daria, he hid inside the ship.
