271
After finishing the meal, I went out to look for Gulshi.
The guy was at the dock on the outskirts of town.
Gulshi, who was squatting down and looking at the distant sea, got up and turned around when I pretended to be happy.
“Why are you here now?”
Girl’s cheeks are red. It seemed like it was because of the cold night sea breeze. It’s been an hour since Gulsey threw his fish bone and left. Ain’s table continued to fill up, and I didn’t get up until the last meal was served. I wonder if he kept waiting for me.
“why?”
Gulshi, who was sniffling, shouted with a serious expression on her face.
“The master’s actions are suspicious!”
“what?”
“It is said that traitors are given sweet candy, and loyalists are given bitter medicine! That doesn’t mean the other knights are treacherous, though… Anyway! This is advice! As the shadow that follows the master, the assistant of the Reinberg family, the disciple of the wise man, and the priest of dawn, being suspicious of the ‘master’ is also the discretion of a faithful subject!”
“Breathe. “I’m out of breath, kid.”
Gulshi held her breath and poured out words in rapid fire.
“How can you not try to kill the demon of corruption!”
Let’s make a strange misunderstanding.
I thought about ignoring her, but Gulshi’s attitude was so serious that I decided to hang out.
“Why do you think that?”
Gulshi said, raising her arms.
“The devil is in the north! This is a peaceful town! We haven’t run out of supplies, so staying here for more than a day is a waste of time. Acting alone, Geolshi cannot understand! It was the same when you went into the jungle alone a few days ago. Of course, I’m not doubting you, Master! You can tell me. Master, we have grown up together since we were children! What are you worried about? Why do you want to explore this vast continent instead of heading north? if… If you’re afraid, I… … .”
I scratched my head while listening to Gulsi’s Japanese speech. I didn’t bother to tell the drivers. Saving Shinsoo is my job. There was no need or reason to get help.
“that… … .”
It wasn’t a particularly complicated story, so I was about to tell it to Gulsi.
[He carries many responsibilities, young human.]
It was a nice voice to listen to. A voice as delicate and beautiful as a harp.
The voice came from the sea. Gulshi and I simultaneously turned our heads towards where the voice was coming from. There was someone there with his face on the dock, looking at us. His body was hidden in the sea water, but we knew right away who he was.
“Mermaid?”
“Mermaid?”
Resembles.
The Grand Duke of Materand.
But it is more distinct.
Gills behind the ears, small horns on top of the head. Green eyes that shine even at night. Beautiful woman.
The mermaid spoke to me with a gentle smile.
[First time meeting you. Our savior-]
I continued when he invited me to the ‘Mermaid Village’.
It reminded me of an oral fairy tale.
Regardless of East or West, the mysteries of the sea have always been of interest to humans since ancient times. Upon receiving an invitation from the Dragon King of the East Sea, riding a turtle that was saved by chance, or being guided by the hand of a mermaid. Head to a hidden underwater village deep in the ocean. And as far as I know, most of them don’t end well. Hundreds of years had passed since we had had fun, and the rabbit almost gave up its liver.
Mermaids have their own magic. He created a large air bubble that allowed him to breathe under the sea. I accepted the mermaid’s invitation without hesitation. As soon as my body touched the air bubble, it grew large enough to envelop me. Inside the bubble, I could move freely underwater and even breathe.
“Ugh! “Gulsey is following along!”
Gulsi, who was stamping her feet, dived with a determined expression.
The guy was a beer bottle. He picked up the sinking one and covered it with bells.
“Kekkek!”
I used fire to dry my clothes so I wouldn’t catch a cold.
The mermaid took us to the deep sea.
“Where are we headed…?” … ?”
Gulsi was frightened as she watched the underwater scenery pass by quickly.
Wow-!
‘Without fear,’ the huge shark opened its mouth and attacked, but the mermaid was much faster.
“If you’re scared, go back.”
“No. Because you are the master’s shadow… How to follow… … !”
“Okay, do whatever you want.”
Gulshi screamed several times until she reached the deep sea.

It was ‘the city of mermaids’.
The mermaid village trapped in the storm in the waters of Mateland was also amazing, but not to this extent. If it was a rural area, this place feels like a big city. Even in the deep sea, it was not dark. Although there was not a single ray of sunlight coming in, it was thanks to the luminescent stones shining here and there. Colorful coral reefs grow like grass and trees on the ground. Most mermaids’ houses were carved out of giant clams, conchs, or rocks. In the center of the square, where fish swim freely, a beautiful stone statue studded with thousands of pearls was erected. This beautiful underwater city, reminiscent of ‘Bikini City’, was very friendly to me.
Gulsey and I arrived at the ‘Sea Anemone’ house after being invited by the green-eyed mermaid.
While the mermaid serves ‘seaweed refreshments’.
I stared out the window for a moment.
“hi-”
As I waved my hand, dozens of mermaids smiled brightly.
The mermaids beyond the window followed me from the moment I arrived and watched me with interest. It suddenly became a spectacle, but it wasn’t bad. Here, I received a lot of attention from the mermaids. It wasn’t because I was human. I didn’t pay much attention to Girl City. The mermaids called me their savior.
“Are you okay?”
Geulsy waved after me, but the mermaids were merciless and didn’t even respond.
“Deer, they’re a little rude, aren’t they?”
It was when Gulsi, who had become sullen, was playing with Dalbi.
The green-eyed mermaid who had baked the cookies (how?) said as she placed the seaweed cookies on the table.
[Please forgive my rudeness. They are as curious about the Savior as they are about whether the sun rises and sets somewhere in the ocean.]
I answered with a shrug.
“Because this will be my first time seeing a human.”

The mermaid shook her head and said.
[no. It’s not because they’re human. The Savior is God’s representative and the benefactor who eliminated our ‘original sin’.]
I learned why the mermaids showed me a curiosity bordering on favor and desire. they knew The fact that I killed the Leviathan mother and eliminated the storm to save the mermaids. I talked to the green-eyed mermaid. The reason he invited me was obvious.
[The storm passed and the poor compatriots who had been punished became free, but we could not take them back. This is because ‘Bada’ has disappeared.]
The sea area of the land beyond, called the Fairy Sea.
The reason the Fairy Sea is more unknown than the rugged, strange sea is because it was a sea that humans could not overcome. It is a labyrinth of the sea that no matter how far you sail, you will eventually return to the starting point. The green-eyed mermaid said it was the power of a being called ‘Sea Lord’.
[The Sea, who prevented the invasion of ‘unclean beasts’ from the land below, opened the ‘passage’ only for us.]
I knew that the sea the mermaid spoke of was the divine beast I was looking for.
God of the sea.
The unclean beasts he’s talking about are probably the Leviathan I killed and the beasts bigger than the island.
The mermaids served the divine beast. However, Shinsoo disappeared long before I killed Leviathan. The mermaid said that the fairy sea was becoming murky. He was afraid that if he did not find the Sea Lord, the sea would soon be filled with unclean beasts.
[Savior. We heard. That you saved the guardian of the jungle and the god of the river. Please, please, please find Bada. So that he doesn’t suffer anymore… … .]
Since I entered this land, everyone I meet calls me their savior. I once again wondered what it meant to be a hero. This was an action just for Dalbi. I didn’t specifically want to save the mermaid. I thought that perhaps all the brilliant deeds of heroes who left their mark in history were like this. Many people fall due to personal desires, and some are saved.
I smiled and said to the mermaid who bowed her head deeply.
“haha. All right. However, there is a condition.”
The mermaid’s green eyes twinkled for a moment. He trailed off in a slightly trembling voice.
[Conditions mean… … .]
I guess my arrogant laugh seemed scary to him.
“Please leave a record.”
[record?]
I don’t think this situation is bad.
saver. If I think about it, I wanted to be myself in my past life.
With childish bravery and humble heroism.
“Please record carefully and let future generations know that I saved the sea and this vast ocean. That is my only condition.”
This is what happened, let’s become a legend.
* * *
“We need a boat.”
The mermaid area was protected by the grace of the sea. Air bubble magic was also the power of the sea. Mermaid magic did not work in the distant sea beyond the undersea city due to the absence of the Sea Lord. Even if it were me, I couldn’t just wander around the sea in search of divine water. I needed a place to rest.
There is a boat in Ain Village. But she was a fishing boat sailing offshore. There is no way to go out to sea. She asked the mermaid just in case.
[Finish.]
The green-eyed mermaid nodded at my request.
[I guess I can get help from that ‘human’.]
“human? Are there any other humans besides us?”
In an instant, the mermaid’s brow furrowed. The mermaid said with a disapproving expression.
[There is a stranger who was drifting on the sea in a boat. He is a very selfish and mean person, but the ship he came on was fine even in our seas, so it will be helpful.]
The mermaid guided us to a ‘prison’ on the outskirts of the city.
Gulshi asked the mermaid a question with curious eyes.
“Mermaid, mermaid. “What did he do wrong that he was put in prison?”
The mermaid continued to reply with a crumpled face, as if it was unpleasant to even think of him.
[He followed me around.]
“Are you following me?”
[Because he was starving, I took pity on him and gave him food, but he immediately spoke of love. We know very well how fleeting human love is. I refused, but he kept chasing me, like a seal in heat, in a shallow way. I had no choice but to put him in prison.]
“What a fascinating guy.”
How did you get to the Fairy Sea?
I came this far and ended up in prison for stalking a mermaid.
I thought he was such a crazy person.
The mermaid’s prison was a giant clam large enough to trap an elephant.
As the mermaid gently stroked the shell, the crack slowly opened.
Between them, pitiful cries rang out.
“Please forgive me now~! “The only crime I have is loving you.”
The green-eyed mermaid ran away, wrinkled her nose as if dealing with filth.
[I don’t even want to deal with you! May the sea bless you!]
Finally, the giant clam opens its shell wide.
A man suddenly jumped out and started running away.
I started laughing as soon as I saw him. Oh, f*uck. No way, I thought.
It was a few months ago that I heard the news of his death. I felt a little sad.
“Why are you here?”
“ok?”
The man who was running away recognized my voice and suddenly turned his head.
“Uh huh?”
blackguard.
or.
A captain wandering around strange seas.
It was Clark.
Although it originally looked dirty.
The guy I met after a long time looked worse than a beggar.
The guy recognized me and came running with his chest-length beard waving.
“Ahahaha! This is this, great hero! Aren’t you Polestar Sowang? No, is he a king now? Anyway, it’s really nice to see you here!”
I avoided the guy who tried to give me a friendly hug and tripped him.
slam!
“100 million!”
I said to the guy who fell.
“I never thought it was you. Well, is there anyone else who would flirt with a mermaid other than you?”
“Haha. “Isn’t this a strange place where confessing love is a crime?”
I sighed and helped Clark up. Clearly, the ship Clark is riding is a military ship belonging to the Matherand family. At least among the ships that existed in this world, it was the most sturdy and strong ship.
“Let’s do something with me.”
