Episode 326 I like sea fishing
Balzakhan, the maritime archipelago.
As its name suggests, it was a fortress built on an island in the middle of the sea, and was home to rough-and-tumble people who were like sea people.
A place full of free, vibrant and dynamic energy.
What caught my eye were the unique cultural styles and foods that I couldn’t find anywhere else.
“Heh heh, oh heh heh. What the hell.”
I was locked up in prison without even having time to enjoy the 67th floor.
A prison dug into a cliff. The windows that could be covered with two palms were blocked with bars, and the sea breeze kept coming in, making the room humid.
Should I say it’s fortunate that there is at least some ventilation?
“Thank goodness! Why is Fugrid here?”
The one locked in the same prison is the pirate Fugrid, whom you met at the Helldying Kitchen.
When you throw me a necklace and proudly claim to be the ruler of the maritime archipelago, why are you doing this here?
What happened in the meantime?
“Hahaha! Life in this world doesn’t always go as planned.”
“Are you laughing, huh? Are you laughing?”
The guy grabbed him by the collar and shook him, but he just laughed.
I’m going to go back.
I heard the gist of the situation as it was being brought to my attention.
The archipelago is not exactly a pirate stronghold. It’s more of a symbiotic relationship.
How can a pirate survive as a pirate?
‘What should I do? I have to loot.’
So who will they target for plunder?
It was simple.
On the 67th floor, there are other sea archipelagos including Balzakhan, and you can plunder pirate ships from other islands.
The rule is not to attack the main base. Even if you attack a pirate ship, try not to kill the enemy NPCs if possible.
If we engage in an all-out war with these angry people, not only will the damage be severe for both sides, but prisoners will soon become money.
In addition, each representative pirate protects the archipelago and receives protection money from the island’s residents. It’s half-ripoff, but it seems like they’re keeping a certain level.
Up to this point, that’s it.
“You were attacked by Leviathan?”
“Oh, that guy is so cunning.”
The disaster on the 67th floor is Leviathan.
I know that guy too. He’s a monster that appeared in our world too.
There are still some that are roaming the sea without being caught.
“In the past, if I couldn’t catch them, I would chase them away, but this time, things went wrong.”
One of the duties of the archipelago pirates is to protect the archipelago from disaster.

It is said that Fugrid, who also had a lot of experience, thought he would be able to defeat the bastard safely this time as well, but failed due to a series of misfortunes.
It was natural that power was reduced, and the public sentiment among the residents affected by the disaster also fell.
This is the result of another pirate group taking advantage of the gap and rising up to change generations.
Anyway, I’m telling you, there’s nothing different about NPCs.
There is a separate problem.
“Does execution make sense? No matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t seem like something to that extent.”
That they are trying to execute Fugrid.
Although he was unable to defeat Leviathan, he was the one who protected Balzakkan.
Even if public sentiment has temporarily fallen, the people of Balzakán still support Fugrid.
I don’t know if it’s official or not since it was said with his own mouth, but if you think about it logically, hanging yourself after one failure is crossing the line.
I can’t help but think there’s another intention behind it.
“Who is the owner of the archipelago now?”
“Gamil of the Twin Skulls. We just call them Twins.”
“Did you come up from the position of second-in-command?”
“No, that’s a bit strange. His power wasn’t that big. But around the time Leviathan appeared, his power grew rapidly. He even absorbed other pirate groups.”
Fugrid points outward with his chin.
“That guy is the one who went to the Gervado guys who captured you. It seems like they’ve been planning this operation for a long time. Maybe the failure of this subjugation was also part of their scheme.”
-Koosh!
Pugrid clicked his tongue and hit the floor, telling us what had happened at the time.
The cannons were broken, the crew’s condition deteriorated, the ocean currents changed, and the ship had a hole in it – a series of unfortunate events that were difficult to attribute to coincidences.
Contact with the pirate group that was moving together was lost midway, and even the trap intended to capture Leviathan was destroyed, so it was impossible to deal with Leviathan normally.
They say that annihilation was avoided thanks to Fugrid’s quick decision, but hmm…
‘No matter how I look at this, it looks like they’re trying to soak Fugrid.’
Why do you insist on executing him by force?
Well, the guy who should have died to Leviathan came back to life.
In other words, it means that Fugrid’s influence is strong.
This guy won’t be able to completely swallow up the footprints while he’s still alive.
“So, I have a favor to ask.”
“ask?”
As the guy nods, a quest window appears.
[Resurrection of the Knife Pirates – Surprise Quest]
– Fugrid, the ruler of Balzakhan, is in danger of execution.

-Let’s gather our scattered strength and rescue him.
-Gathering information about the subversive forces is a bonus.
-Rewards: Leviathan’s Heart, Half-Wrecked Ghost Ship (A), Pirate’s Legend Treasure Chest (???)
“This is… … .”

“I’ve picked out some pretty good ones. I like the hearts fresh. If you help me, I’ll catch Leviathan no matter what.”
Great confidence. There was one failure, but it was entirely due to the schemes of others.
The half-destroyed ghost ship seems to be a skill. If you’re going to give it to me, give it to me in good condition.
It’s a treasure chest, so it’s always good, so pass.
Everything is good, but… … .
“Is it possible?”
I was captured and taken here, and my belongings were stolen. Fortunately, the Felline set and weapons were in my inventory, so they weren’t stolen, but the other subspace items were taken by them.
I tried putting subspace items in my inventory, but I couldn’t put them in when there were items inside, let alone when it was empty.
I scratched my head. It wasn’t so bad.
“Yeah.”
Because Deokchun is here and I have the main equipment.
The relics and potions stored in the treasure pouch cannot be used, but if you are in a hurry, you can make them separately.
The real problem is that this is my first time here.
“I have some guys who can help me. They’re also close to Helldying Kitchen, so you should be able to talk to them.”
“Who is it?”
“Have you heard that I like sea fishing?”
I’ve heard of them. They’re a group I heard about while forming a relationship with Helldying Kitchen.
I was wondering why the group name was like this, and here it is.
“They are basically neutral, but they are strong. No one in Balzakkan messes with them. They are my friends.”
“They want me to meet them first.”
“The men are scattered. They’re the ones who were stuck on the pirate ship, so they won’t be caught easily. If there’s an excuse to gather, they’ll crawl out on their own.”
“What are the chances that they will move first?”
“I wish they would just sit there and quietly… I couldn’t stand seeing those idiots step up and make things go smoothly.”
The frowning guy.
Fugrid takes off a ring and bites his finger, drawing a drop of blood.
A ring that glowed softly. He gave it to me.
“If you show me the ring, you’ll know I sent it.”
“But you see. If I escape, won’t anything happen?”
“Why? Can’t you do it?”
No way.
Chin. Grabbed the window.
“Wait. I won’t come back until I die.”
[Fog Run (S) Lv.6]
-Poohwaaaaah!
I turned into fog and climbed over the bars and got out.
A sea full of reefs.

He clung to the cliff and began to move.
Let’s go inside the island first. Then we can do whatever we want.
* * *
I wandered the streets wearing the hood I bought at the store.
I plan to wear the Pelline set later when I need to fight.
When they were caught, their clothes were already exposed. Since the color was so conspicuous, they would probably remember it.
“I wonder where it is.”
I like sea fishing. Judging from the name, it seems like you’d be sitting on a breakwater somewhere.
Although it is one of the forces, it is actually closer to a gathering.
A strange group of people who gathered because they had similar hobbies and ended up finding that they were all strong people.
I also tried contacting Helldying Kitchen, but it didn’t work out. They exchange ingredients and food, but it seems like they don’t know the exact location.
I asked people passing by just in case, but they didn’t seem to know the details.
Maybe he knows but he’s not saying anything.
Now that it’s come to this, let’s change direction.
“If you want to find someone fishing, you have to go to the sea.”
As it is an island, the sea is everywhere.
The important thing is which side has the best fishing.
I stopped by a fishing tackle shop and asked for a good spot.
“It depends on what you want to catch. Let’s see. You’re eating raw fish? The climber is very brave. If you’re going to eat to death, you should eat something delicious. Let’s go to the southern frontier.”
I was able to get some good information.
I have cooking and digestion skills, so I can eat monsters, but I guess I don’t need to say anything.
* * *
-Shoooooooo
A place where strong waves crash.
I wonder if there are fish in a place like this, but I’m telling you that there are.
The fish that appear here can’t possibly be ordinary fish.
“Hoo, Fugrid won’t be executed right away. There’s still some time left.”
“Yeah.”
In any case, if you want to rescue him, you can’t do it alone. Whether you like it or not, you have to find people who will help you.
Kkukkuk.
He grabbed the harpoon attached to the rope.
I’ve never been fishing before. I just want to catch some fish, right?
“Deokchun, go.”
“Ouch!”
Fondant.

Deokchun jumped into the sea.
How to catch fish successfully for beginner anglers.
-Kurrrrrr
-Paaaaang!
“Kihhhhhhhhh!”
“Good job, Deokchun!”
What’s the big deal? Deokchun threw it into the water.
-Whoa!
-Kwaaaaak!
I can just pierce it with a harpoon.
The monster with its torso pierced struggled, but only for a moment.
“Yeah, yeah.”
When Deokchun spat once, the poison spread and the limp body fell down.
Chuck. When I raise my thumb, Deokchun also raises his thumb.
This time, I caught a monster that resembled a tuna. I don’t know its name. It’s the first time I’ve seen this kind of thing.
Unlike land monsters, marine monsters are less studied.
“I guess I should also gather information on monsters.”
I guess I’ll use it later.
I bought some paper and pencil at the store window and wrote down my appearance, name, abilities, etc.
Once you have the power, reading information is a piece of cake.
The appearance is also slightly modified.
“Geeeeeek!”
“You’re back again! Okay!”
-Kwaaaaang!
If Deokchun throws a sea monster out of the water, he catches it again.
Deokchun used them as bait to lure the larger ones, and when necessary, I jumped into the sea and dismantled them myself.
For slaughter, I went to Helldying Kitchen for ingredients. I cooked and ate the rest myself. If it was raw fish, I made raw fish. If it was spicy fish stew, I made spicy fish stew. I tried steaming and grilling.
It was a lot to eat alone.
[Gluttony (S)]
“Hehehe.”
I have a big eater named Deokchun.
Even though I didn’t say whether I liked seafood or not, he also collected shellfish and seaweed for me.
This is what I want you to cook with.
Cooking level also goes up a lot because you cook with new ingredients.
He also didn’t forget to go into the fishing hut every now and then and sell the by-products of the catch.
Get to know the NPCs and cook for them.

There’s only one thing I want.
‘Spreading rumors.’
If you can’t find it, you have to make it come to you.
Anyone interested in fishing will definitely come.
Even now, there are people who come to watch me catch monsters.
He recently gained fame by catching a 5-star monster, Gigantic Assault Ray.
I hear it’s a difficult species to catch.
The result of four days of fishing without rest day or night.
“Hey, you caught Gigantic Ray?”
“Oh? Look at those. They look like drawings. Oh, yeah. I have to keep a record of the things I catch.”
“Ahaha! I used to come here often too. Are you still good at catching things?”
People who looked extraordinary came to see me.
