They didn’t give up and attacked. I sat down and didn’t move. Jagger Jack fired his pistol, but his bullets disappeared everywhere. As he looked at the muzzle of his gun with a puzzled face, a small snail crawled out of it. Ummhani stopped reciting the incantation and pursed his lips. The hermit crab spirit with its large claws bit the guy’s lip tightly.
The remaining guys stabbed me with cutlasses or swung saw blades, but they couldn’t even get past me. The sea turtle spirit beast blocked the cutlass with its shell, and the serrated spear wielded by the shark-toothed Rotni was blocked by the octopus spirit beast’s tentacles. Bolen, who was pretending to throw an anchor, pointed at me with a dumbfounded look on his face.
“how… “How many spirit beasts have you tamed?”
I answered with a shrug.
“These guys are not my partners.”
The reason they protect me is not because they like me. Just as they had asked me for help in rescuing Dalby from the devil’s stomach in the Forest of Artemis a few years ago – these guys were just looking for my help this time too.
“You guys can see it.”
I pointed to a small dock.
Bolen hesitated, opened the window and stuck his head out. And he fell backwards.
“what? Anchor Bolen. “What did you see?”
Despite the pirates’ questions, Bolen narrowed his eyes with a dumb expression. The pirates, unable to contain their curiosity, passed me by and walked to the window. And after seeing the scene unfolding outside, I fell backwards just like Bolen.
They could see it because they were spiritualists.
“Apocalypse, apocalypse, apocalypse!”
Dalet.
The ‘thousands’ of spirit beasts that occupied the pirate island –
Even though I can’t understand their feelings because I’m not their partner.
They weren’t stupid enough to not know why thousands of spirit beasts had gathered together.
The stronger the power of the spirit beast, the less the power of the devil. This is why there were no demons seen in the Materand territory. However, now the spirits who protect harmony have taken more unnatural actions than ever before.
There was a reason why so many spiritual leaders had to gather in one place.
The pirates expressed the compass fragment as evidence of resistance.
It is clear that he knows something about ‘Sim Ha-in’.
“Do you understand? This is not the time to be stubborn and talk about pride or anything. “Give me the compass that leads to death and the seven broken pendants, and I will give you something of infinitely greater value.”
Bolenmann barely answered.
“… “What do you mean?”
“Safety. “I will gladly protect you from the ‘terror of the distant sea.’”
“How dare the captain who commands the seven seas… … ! “We are not afraid of death.”
“I understand. Death won’t scare you. but… … .”
I looked down at the gathered spirit beasts and said.
“The dead are not supposed to speak. There is no way you, who know the secrets of the sea, would not know. Death, the dead who are resurrected beyond it.”
Someone whispered in a frightened voice.
“Simhain… … .”
Even if I were the Pillar of Dawn, they were the ones who would not flinch and lose their temper.
However, as soon as the word Simhain was heard, an eerie silence fell in the room.
Fear began to appear in their yellow eyes. Not those who fear the grave. I am afraid of the corpse coming back to life after opening the coffin. I quietly watched the pirates return to their seats with a stern expression. No pig barbecue, no strong rum – they didn’t care anymore.
A conversation took place.
The time it took to make a decision was short.
I have one map.
Received seven fragmented compasses.
The compass was taken apart by someone.
It was easily assembled by simply fitting it into the gap.
In the completed compass, the needle spun around and pointed to a certain location. It is in the direction of the open sea. Bolen quickly took out his compass and checked his needle. The two compasses were pointing in different directions.
“The compass that leads to death, O Virgin Goddess of Malirodesa.”
“The legend was true. If you notice, it’s already too late. Sim Ha-in… “It’s already reached the tip of our chin.”
Unlike the pirates who were screaming in fear, I didn’t hide my satisfied smile.
‘It won’t be too late.’
The only thing I was scared of was Melissa.

A ship and crew were provided by the Palmette Union. He said he needed a navigator who knew the way, and Bolen, the anchorman, said he would get it and asked him to wait a day. The next afternoon, as we were preparing to set sail, anchorman Bolen came ‘bringing’ the navigator as promised.
A man is dragged by the collar by Bolen’s rough hands.
“He is familiar with the path of strange seas.”
thud!
A man thrown over a rope piled on the deck. He couldn’t come to his senses and twisted his body. He was a man who managed to open his bleary eyes when Bolen poured cold water on him. The smell of his alcohol was strong. His brown beard grew to his chest, and his hair was shiny as if it had been dipped in a vat of oil. He brought a man who was no better than a junkie as a navigator.
“Are you f*ucking me?”
“You might think so. Don’t misunderstand. There is no one in Dalet who knows more about monsters than this guy. “He is the only ‘Scavenger’ who has survived for many years.”
“Scavenger?”
All kinds of rare treasures, magic, and legends exist in the sea of monsters. Aiming for this, many explorers and pirates tried to attack the strange sea, but most of them died at the beginning. A scavenger was a retrieval who preyed on failed explorers. Likewise, it is a dangerous task, so if you succeed in retrieving it more than three times, even the pirates, who are not pleased with the praise, praise you and praise you for being amazing.
Bolen said he completed more than 10 reps.
The Sea of Monsters is an unknown sea, filled with monsters like Leviathan.
He survived such places several times.
“Why did such a great person end up in this situation?”
He crawled on the ground. He seemed to have mistook the rope for pasta and shoved it into his mouth.
“There was once a sturdy carrack and dozens of men, but in the end, the only one who survived was the captain.”
A guy who puts a rope in his mouth and mumbles until he vomits.
“Well, as long as your skills are clear.”
When he accepted, Bolen slapped him twice on the face.
“Huh?”
The pain made him come to his senses for a moment.

“What shall we do?”
He scratched his head and made a puzzled expression, then smiled brightly when something came to mind.
“iced coffee-! The contract you mentioned yesterday? really? I owe gambling debt just by guiding you through that damn sea… “Are you going to indemnify everything?”
“Yes.”
“Hehe – even the carrack that was held as collateral for me. Daughter! really?”
Instead of answering, Bolen slapped his face again.
“good. good. Good, good. okay. hmm. “Is this my employer?”
I didn’t care if he was a drunkard or anything.
“Say hello! Conquering oceans farther than anyone else, reading sea routes as dizzying as the human mind, and daughter- well… It was, right? ah! Anyway, my name is Great Captain – Clark! Hahahahahaha.”
Clark.
After introducing himself grandly, he looked back at Bolen and grinned.
“An additional 10 million gulans will be paid… … .”
puck-!
After being punched, he fainted and was roughly thrown onto the deck.
* * *
“Anyway – good luck. May the sea goddess bless you.”
It was time for Bolen to return.
“hey.”
Lily called him.
“… hey? You’re like a bastard. “Have you forgotten the word uncle?”
I didn’t want to get involved in a family fight. I stood from a distance and watched the two.
“My business isn’t over yet!”
“Tsk. “What does it matter now?”
“It doesn’t matter! “You should apologize for trying to sell me out?”
“I wasn’t trying to sell it out. Unlike your sister… … .”
Bolen paused and swallowed.
My voice cracked through my dry throat.
“It doesn’t matter anymore. “No matter what you do.”
“joy. “What does your uncle know about what I do and how I am?”
Bolen’s lips trembled as he hesitated. But then he frowns and swallows his words. His eyes turned to Byella, who Lily always carried. Lily was a biella player in one of the most famous orchestras in the world, and her sponsoring organization was the top of Alieva. At first, I was the only sponsor. But after she became famous, Alieva reported that among the list of her supporters who sponsored Lily through the agency were –
“hmm.”
It seems like there was a farmlet union, or maybe it wasn’t.
There is no need for me to say it.
“Aren’t you going to apologize?”
“Tsk, you seem like a ungrateful bastard. You really owe me an apology. “I’ve been feeding and raising you all this time, but you’re leaving without saying a word?”
“Because you’re trying to sell me out!”
“If you don’t like it, say no…” … .”
“it’s okay. “It’s over now.”
Lily was also a student in Musenion’s math department, although she only attended morning classes.
Lily grabbed Bolen, who was one size larger than her, by the collar, and used the power of her tail to throw him away with all her might.
Wow!
Bolen flew into the sea. Sailors watching nearby applauded in amazement.
Lily shook her hands off with a relieved expression.
“Whew, either I get eaten by the shark or not.”
Lily was strong.
But Bolen is stronger.
If I had tried to resist, I wouldn’t have flown away so ‘overly’.
Bolen did not emerge from the sea until the ship set sail.
* * *
Lily worked from morning to night helping the sailors.
In the end, I called Lily and told her.
“There’s no need to do that.”
“yes? What? Umm, what are you saying?”
“Because it’s your freedom.”
Lily is worried that I will separate her like last time.
Dangerous. There may be some powerful enemy lurking around.
It might be a wise decision to leave Lily at a nearby port.
But, more than that.
“Do whatever you feel like. “If I want to follow you, I will follow you.”
“oh, … really?”
“How can I stop you?”
I looked at the numerous spirit beasts chasing the boat.
Is it intuition, or is it a judgment based on information accumulated so far?
It was confusing, but I chose it.
Lily is safest by my side.
* * *
Turn around and you’ll be at another port.
“f*ck, you f*ucking bastard!”
“what? Well, what should I do? “I want you to tell me a shortcut!”
“Oh, I can’t even squeeze it.”
“Is it my fault that the ship ran aground? In the first place, it’s because that son of a bitch Bolen gave me such a trash boat. “Rotten bastard.”
“what! “Why are you cursing my uncle?”
It was a mistake to trust that drunken pirate. He showed me a compass and asked if I could sail the shortest distance to where the magnetic needle was pointing. Clark asked me to trust him and he answered confidently. I left the navigation to him and began training in imagery to prepare for the coming danger. Training in imagery through fortune-telling was a practice that required deep concentration even for Lanistas.
So I didn’t know.
Clark, who was heading for a ‘shortcut’, managed to pass through the coral zone and ran his ship aground. When I came to my senses, I saw that my stomach had been split in half. Fortunately, with the help of Yeongsu, she managed to reach the nearby port without any injuries. Before she could even stand, her boat sank completely and was buried deep in the sea. The sailors who departed from Dalet ran away as soon as they landed in the port. It’s a shame for me. If it was a normal boat, it would have ended up as food for fish while drifting in the open sea.
Clark responded shamelessly despite receiving a lot of criticism.
“You asked me to tell you a shortcut, so I told you, but why are you doing this? Are these cheap, low-quality sailboats the problem in the first place? If it were my carrack, it would have passed easily. “How can you navigate a strange sea on a boat that can barely pass the black coral zone?”
I was a positive person.
Instead of hanging Clark, I only thought about his strengths.
Okay, maybe he’s right.
Anyway, I knew the shortcut,
If I had a good stomach, I might have passed.
“You crazy guy.”
Still, the fact that he is a navigator who cannot check the condition of the ship remains the same.
“Isn’t it rather fortunate? It got to this point from a strange disaster. We would all become food for monsters. It was fortunate that we discovered early on that the ship was trash. You need a strong ship to overcome the monster. Like my Greenskin… … .”
“When you open your mouth, you pull out your tongue.”
Indeed, a veteran navigator who has overcome numerous crises.
I quietly kept my mouth shut.
I opened the map and checked the location.
The current location is Kwaluwan Island.
And nearby,
There is ‘Retben Island’.
Retben Island was a small rocky island where fishermen stayed, but the reality is different.
“Rent a fishing boat, Clark.”
“Ha, didn’t you understand what I said? Moreover, if it is a fishing boat, let alone a strange disaster, the nearby sea area… … .”
Sereung-
As soon as he pulled out his sword, it was Clark who calmly approached the fisherman.
I also have no intention of sailing into strange waters on a fishing boat.
All you have to do is go to Retben Island.
Because there is an outpost of Materand on that island.
