Chapter 16. Kairin’s Treasure (1)
One.
A remote island that doesn’t even have a name.
After it became Eagle Eye’s grave, the place where even passersby had disappeared was filled with people.
And they weren’t just people either.
“What about the surroundings?”
“There is nothing.”
Everyone was armed and on high alert, looking around with sharp eyes.
At the center of them all was a pirate flag.
A pirate flag with a skull and crossbones symbolizing the pirate flag, and a green emerald drawn inside the skull’s eyes.
Captain Kairin!
It was her pirate flag.
Naturally, no one paid any attention to the island where her pirate flag was planted.
That was the first principle that had to be followed in order to survive in the vast world of the sea.
“Don’t let your guard down.”
“yes.”
There was only one reason why they came here.
“Golden Eye, until He comes.”
To protect Kairin’s disciple.
“Yes, Murat.”
For that, Kairin even sent Murat, one of her executives and the one who opened the 6th Circle.
That was overprotective from a general standpoint.
Murat knew it too.
‘Uneasy.’
The fact that he came here knowingly meant that it was a dangerous place.
This means that there is a high possibility of problems arising.
So Murat came.
‘There is also a possibility that the followers of the Black Wizard are doing something.’
Murat knew that the followers of the Black Mage were hiding all over the world and plotting something.
‘Because they’re everywhere.’
It was a moment when I had no choice but to be on guard in many ways.
“Come out of the portal!”
People appeared from beyond the Mystic Gate.
The crew of the Nautilus.
“It’s Miner!”
And finally, when Miner appeared, everyone gathered cheered.
“We’ve conquered Eagle Eye’s Tomb!”
The moment when none other than Kairin’s disciple achieves what no one else has been able to do before!
But Murat was different.
He heard.
‘When I hear Miner’s heartbeat… … .’
That right now, there is not a single sound of cheering, joy, or any such happy emotion in Miner.
“What, they’re alive?”
At that very moment, El Palm appeared.
None of the surrounding pirates paid any attention to his appearance.
Everyone thought.
‘Thanks to Miner, I got a title.’
‘He’s a lucky guy.’
Because I thought that El Palm came back alive thanks to none other than Miner, herself, and her subordinates.
Because that was common sense.
But Murat was different.
He was sure.
The one who attacked Eagle Eye’s Tomb was none other than El Palm.
Actually, that wasn’t surprising.
Rather, it was expected. That’s why I took steps to be able to negotiate with him.
Still, Murat couldn’t help but be surprised now.
‘I don’t feel any emotion whatsoever.’
Even at this moment of great achievement, El Palm’s heartbeat remains extremely cold.
“Murat.”
El Palm, whose heart was beating so coldly, approached Murat and spoke.
“I want to spend coins.”
2.
Ranking adventurers in the past was a very difficult task.
But with the advent of the Mystic Gate, the story changed.
Who conquered a higher-grade Mystic Gate? Through him, the adventurers’ rankings could be determined.
Captain Kairin, her rank was 6th.
That was a huge deal.

Because it meant that among the adventurers overflowing in Maple World, he was one of the ten strongest.
Because it meant that it was difficult to even meet someone’s face once.
“El Palm.”
She was right in front of El Palm’s eyes.
With a strikingly beautiful appearance, wearing a pirate hat over her golden hair, and green eyes so beautiful they were reminiscent of emeralds, she was looking at El Palm.
But the eyes were not filled with kindness.
“Miner, thank you for helping that child.”
He expressed his gratitude, but his eyes were still cold.
That wasn’t normal.
Captain Kairin, the adventurer who opened the 7th circle!
He was one of the best adventurers at the time.
At the same time, he was the leader of the pirates who filled the Nautilus. A fearsome man who could throw anyone into the sea whenever and wherever necessary.
In fact, she did quite a bit of bloody work.
El Palm knew it too.
‘The number of people who died by her hands is in the tens of thousands.’
That she is a terrible murderer.
So El Palm trusted her.
‘Because I swept away the followers of the Black Wizard.’
Because at this point, she was one of the few people I could trust.
Of course, that was only El Palm’s opinion, and from Kairin’s perspective, El Palm was just a suspicious entity.
Meaning that there can never be a deep relationship.
El Palm also had no intention of getting into a deep relationship with her.
Kairin was trustworthy, but the organization called Nautilus was not.
‘In return, she was also murdered.’
The hands of those who followed the Black Wizard had already reached deep into the Nautilus.
So there was only one thing El Palm could do here.
“I want to spend coins.”
‘Just finalize the deal.’
Just finish what was agreed upon in advance.
Kairin also guessed El Palm’s intentions, and it was convenient for Kairin as well.
Here, it was best for her to simply pay the price for saving her disciple Miner.
“There are three coins.”
Paying the price wasn’t difficult either.
“One item per coin, should that be enough?”
Kairin, she had cleared countless Mystic Gates, so she had a lot of items, and giving her three of them was not even noticeable.
“I’ll buy one for three.”
Of course, El Palm wasn’t doing this just to get items that weren’t even worth mentioning.
Moreover, Kairin was not surprised by El Palm’s suggestion.
Rather, it was a rational choice.
In the first place, adventurers didn’t have many items to use.
If there were 3 circles, the number of skills that could be used at one time was limited to 3. Anything more than that was impossible.
El Palm did just that.
He could usually only use three magic spells during battle.
In situations where Fire Arrow, Telekinesis, and Clairvoyance magic are used, no other magic can be used additionally.
This means that there is no need to have multiple of them.
“So what do you want? Do you have anything prepared?”
That’s why Kairin came out calmly.
From her perspective, even if she wanted a unique item, she had the ability to pay that much.
“Please give me the ring.”
“What kind of ring is it?”
“Please give me Fried’s ring.”
El Palm broke Kairin’s composure.
3.
Fried.
There was no one who did not know that name.
He was the great wizard who opened the 9th circle, the companion of Afrien, the king of the onyx dragons, and the creator of the magic of time.
“Those who live in Maple World should be grateful to the Great Wizard Fried. If he had not been able to seal the Black Wizard, Maple World would have disappeared.”
And the one who gathered the six heroes and sealed the black magician.
“He is great.”
It was a great name.
That was why.
“But the legacy of the great Archmage Fried has not yet been inherited by anyone.”
Adventurers of the world covet Fried’s legacy.
It wasn’t just a matter of coveting it.
There were quite a few adventurers whose ultimate goal was to obtain Fried’s legacy.
And Friedran was great enough to have such a goal.
Finding his legacy wasn’t just about making a lot of money, it was about finding his will, the traces of that great hero.
However, until now, no one has found Fried’s legacy other than Hero Tracker Pir, 20 years ago.
“Please give me Fried’s ring.”
But now El Palm was demanding that Fried’s legacy from none other than Captain Kairin.
Kairin’s eyes narrowed at that fact.
Here she ruled out lies.
‘Know.’
El Palm, I knew that telling him that I didn’t have Fried’s ring wouldn’t make sense.
The story is that you can’t avoid a situation by telling lies that won’t work.
Ultimately, there was only one answer that could come out of this.
“That’s an exception. I can’t give it to you. I’m just keeping it for the time being.”
Telling why you can’t give it.
El Palm was not disappointed with that answer.
‘I guess so.’
El Palm had no intention of receiving Fried’s ring in the first place.
‘Even if you give it to me, I can’t use it.’
I knew he wouldn’t give it to me, and honestly, it was useless to El Palm.
‘Because only those who have received Fried’s approval can use it.’
Still, the reason El Palm took out Fried’s ring was simple.
“Is that so?”
“So choose something else.”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know what Captain Kairin has, other than Fried’s ring.”
“okay?”
Here, Kairin will never try to complete her deal with El Palm.
That would be the case, for El Palm knew something that no one else knew: that she had Fried’s legacy.
Then what should we do?
Should I send El Palm back?
Or should we go deeper?
“Then take a look and choose.”
If El Palm knew Kairin, it was the latter.
And El Palm knew what cards she would play for that deep connection.
“On my treasure island.”
4.
Maple World’s famous heroes and adventurers would store what they collected in safes or warehouses.
And they often became targets for other adventurers.
“The most coveted treasure vault is, of course, that of Phantom, one of the six heroes.”
The best of these was the treasure vault of the thief Phantom, who stole half of the treasures in Maple World.
“I doubt it exists though.”
However, the story of the treasure vault of the thief Phantom was a story from hundreds of years ago.
“But Captain Kairin’s Treasure Island is different.”
On the other hand, Captain Kairin’s Treasure Island, where Captain Kairin had collected all the items she had acquired, still existed, and so many adventurers were looking for that treasure island.
A place where security is that tight.
That was where El Palm was headed now.
Of course, it was impossible to move in a sound condition.
“I will cover your eyes and ears. I will also cover your nose and mouth with a towel soaked in a special herb. Do not show any actions or movements while in that state. The moment you do anything, I will kill you.”
El Palm boarded Captain Kairin’s ship to Treasure Island with all of his senses and freedom sealed away.
‘I know where it is.’
So that there is no way to guess its location.
‘Because Golden Eye told me.’
Of course, El Palm knew where Captain Kairin’s treasure island was located.
‘I can’t go now with my own strength.’
And I knew full well what El Palm would look like the moment he got there with his powers.
Because you really had to go through several checkpoints to get in there.
So El Palm complied obediently.
“get off.”
After a full day of boating with everything tied up like that, we finally arrived at El Palm.
“It’s here.”
It was an island, and there was a cave inside that island.
The cave itself was ordinary.
But the things thrown into the cave were not ordinary.
‘They are all unique items.’
Because each and every one of them was so valuable that its value could not be measured.
‘There are phoenix feathers and dragon scales.’
Moreover, El Palm knew each and every one of their identities well.
Of course, I didn’t show any sign of knowing.
“Can you describe the item?”
To that question, Treasure Island’s island keeper, Valerie, answered with a bitter smile.
“Have you ever seen a pirate tell you the value of treasure?”
Don’t talk nonsense.
“Just one, just one.”
El Palm nodded at those words.
As I said before, the reason I asked that question in the first place was to avoid revealing myself.
Now, it means that you can just choose without any doubt.
So El Palm moved around the cave, examining each item placed around him.
‘It’s a lot more than I thought.’
At this moment, even El Palm couldn’t help but feel distressed.
‘Things that might help too.’
Above all, El Palm had the talent of an All-Master. This meant that he could use any item to its full effect.
So, the worries could not help but grow even more.
But that worry didn’t last long.
‘for a moment.’
El Palm, his eyes shook.
El Palm, who had maintained his composure even in front of various treasures, began to show his emotions on his face without realizing it.
‘Could this be the ring of Zeus?’
But this time, there was nothing I could do.
‘Why on earth is the brainwashing item here?’
