Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (236)
The flooding of Sea Area 6 was not yet well known.
It was also a situation where people belonging to the upper echelons of the
The 4th and 5th sea areas, which are the largest sources of revenue for the Maritime Union, are shrinking in real time.
If it becomes known to the public, chaos will inevitably occur.
Because the Atlantean Maritime Union was ultimately neither a nation nor a people, its sense of belonging and unity was weak. If a major crisis were to come, there were many people who would only take care of their own safety first rather than trying to overcome it together. Large organizations, including Bermuda, were aware of this and were carefully investigating the situation behind the scenes.
However, when the large organizations learned that the Arcadia Empire had sent an expeditionary force and the risk had been set at an enormous level, they could not help but be appalled.
{There are three strong rebels and two 9th rank great mages… ?}
{Are you saying the conditions in Sea Area 6 are that dangerous!?}
I faced the reality that neither the ‘United Council’, ‘Bermuda’, or even the Atlantean Tower were anything like sparks or splatters.
It was such a crisis that even the empire thousands of kilometers away had to immediately dispatch its core forces. It was as if he had been submerged in lava up to his ankles, or even his waist. They were hoarse as they debated whether they should evacuate this area even now, or whether they should trust those from the empire and join them.
Unlike other organizations, Magic Tower’s decision was very quick.
It was because of Grand Wizard Jack Russell, who had reached the 8th rank, the pinnacle of the Atlantis Magic Tower.
{This is not something that can be achieved by running away from the crisis right in front of you. If five demigod-level beings participate in the war and cannot prevent the expansion of Sea Area 6, they will be affected no matter where in the world they run to. We should also keep in mind that it may look bad on the empire.}
{Hmm, maybe so.}
{The Magic Tower’s opinion is also correct. Once you are hated in Arcadia, there will be no place in the world that will accept you.}
Benjamin, the man with the greatest say in Bermuda, also made his position clear.
“I also agree with the Magic Tower Lord’s opinion. We are people who have already left the continent once and settled in Atlantis. “If we were to abandon our home once again, we would have to live as nomads for the rest of our lives, rather than finding another haven like this one.”
The Maritime Union’s position on the southern continent was very unstable.
Accessibility is poor and the force is considerable, so they are not recklessly hostile. Denying the caste system aroused hostility from surrounding kingdoms, and it was common for talented people who were dissatisfied with their lives in territories bordering the coast to escape to the maritime alliance.
If the union collapsed due to the flooding of the 6th sea area, the surrounding kingdoms would not leave the gap and would try to kill it.
With all the people gathered here, it wouldn’t be difficult to figure out what to do, but it would definitely be impossible to enjoy the wealth and fame that Atlantis had.
{… I don’t want to live licking the toes of nobles.}
{I agree. It would be better to defect to the empire than to live with those greedy and incompetent pigs.}
{If you support the expedition to Sea Area 6, you might be accepted at least as asylum. If successful, it will leave a good impression.}
Some people do it out of love for their second hometown.
Some people are greedy to preserve that wealth and fame.
Someone had an ulterior motive to impress the Arcadia Empire.
The emotions boiling over behind the seemingly serious mask were all different, but the conclusion was soon resolved in one direction.
{Support the Arcadia expedition to rule out potential threats in the 6th sea area. It was unanimous.}
{Representative Benjamin, what about what they requested?}
As Gordon’s voice flowed from the crystal ball, Benjamin remembered the people talking outside the communication room.
“There are three adventure groups that own Masterpiece-class ships, and we have notified all of them. ‘Aquamarine’ immediately responded to the call and is meeting with the expedition team, and ‘Zaratan’ will take a few more hours to arrive at the port.”
{‘Wild Hunt’, what about those weirdos?}
“The sighting came in three days ago, so there is a high possibility that he is still in Atlantis. “I didn’t hear back, but if you’re interested, I’m sure you’ll get back to me in no time.”
‘Wild Hunt’, the only adventure group recognized as S-class in this maritime alliance, were literally newcomers.
Most of the members’ identities were hidden, and their skills were also unknown. If it had not been seen several times in action in Sea Area 5, it would not be surprising if it was treated as an urban legend. Even when visiting the central city, we never docked at the dock, and it was rare to receive requests from Bermuda.
The windbreakers beyond the sea, whom even the great organizations of Atlantis could not control, were ‘Wild Hunt’ and the Golden Hind they were on.
“Alright, the conclusion of the meeting has been reached, so let’s all get moving. “Before the guests from the Empire set sail and leave us alone.”
“Clap,” Benjamin said, meeting his palms and standing up.
There was a mountain of work for him to do from now on.

“?Leonard!”
The person who came to see Leonard, who was waiting in the VIP reception room, was a beautiful woman with black hair flowing like waves.
With her jewel-like eyes sparkling blue, she opened the door and found Leonard about to get up from the sofa. Then, without a moment of hesitation, she rushed in and hugged her torso.
Naturally, that woman was Francis, the leader of ‘Aquamarine’.
Leonard, who patted her a few times as she was so overcome with emotion that she was at a loss for words, playfully greeted her.
“It’s been a while, Fran. “I guess I’m not the queen yet.”
“yes? What did you say? Ahahahaha!”
Francis, with his eyes wide open at his greeting, burst into laughter.
It was because it reminded me of the words the two had exchanged before.
“I’m not sure if I can work hard until I die, but there’s no way I could have succeeded in just a few years, right? Anyway.”
“Still, I was wondering if it was Fran.”
“If only the sea god from the legend of Oceanus had been resurrected, but one beautiful ship is too much! “Everyone is working hard, so I won’t say it’s impossible.”
At the same time that Frances was boasting, the members who followed her entered the room at once.
“You’re back, Leonard.”
Marian became a deck captain from a guard.
“Captain, I overcame the wall thanks to the spear technique you taught me last time! Deal with me later!”
Galano, the master of the harpoon spear.
“… Sorry, but I’m not there yet. “It seems like the flow has caught on, but it hasn’t reached full bloom.”
“It’s been a while, benefactor! how are you?”
Ninian, a one-eyed half-elf.
Even Vivian, the spiritist of water and wind.
After seeing Aquamarine’s colleagues for the first time in a long time, Lee Chae passed through Leonard’s eyes.
‘Every single one of us got a job well done. Is Ninian close to the state of ten thousand, and are Marian and Galano transcendental? The presence of the spirit that can be felt from Vivian has become more than twice as strong.’
Even after he disappeared, it was like evidence of harsh practical experience and training. Even though Leonard’s teachings made it possible to avoid wandering on his path, it was the burden of each practitioner to move forward on the path in front of him.
The fact that ‘Aquamarine’ took the top spot in Class A even without Leonard was thanks to their diligent efforts.
As if reading Leonard’s curiosity about people who were not present, Francis added a few words.

“Esther and Lorelai were summoned to the Magic Tower. “It seems to have something to do with Leonard’s arrival.”
Although they were only one member of the Aquamarine Adventure Team, their opinions were difficult to ignore in the Magic Tower.
Even if this is the case for Esther, who has just reached the 6th rank, Lorelai, who has overcome the barrier of the 7th rank, is a strong person who can become an elder at any time. Even if she has no intention of doing so, she has no choice but to notice.
Leonard, who found out what was going on, nodded.
“understand. I think you all were notified of the request from Bermuda. How much did you hear about it?”
“It’s about exploring Sea Area 6. “I heard you should hear more from the client directly?”
“indeed.”
Because the issue was so serious, it was reasonable to worry about its impact.
If we proceed with the plan in earnest, we are bound to find out, but it would have been better to prepare for the shock even if only for a short period of time.
Even if you blindly reveal everything, all you can do is cause panic.
That was the reason why information was limited to one dimension.
Unless it was an adventure group that needed to be hired as a top priority like ‘Aquamarine’, information about Sea Area 6 would not have been shared.
After thinking that far, Leonard opened his mouth.
“I will explain the request in detail.”
What was revealed from then on was the story of a catastrophe on a scale that Aquamarine members could not even have imagined.
Everyone was distraught from the existence of the Foreign Church lurking within Sea Area 6, but the expedition’s information went beyond that.
“There are three knight commanders and two grand mages… ? Moreover, Leonard is the leader of the Golden Dragon Knights… ?!”
“Already, I didn’t feel any momentum at all, so I thought I would have reached a greater level, but you’re half-hearted!?”
“Ha, we have become quite strong too, but haven’t we gone too far alone?”
Even Francis was distraught, unable to fully accept the reality, and Galano and Marian seemed a little disappointed when they heard that the gap between them had become even more enormous.
The fact that he reached transcendence at the same age as them was proof of his genius, but compared to Leonard, who reached semi-transcendence before he was even 20 years old, it pales in comparison.
Ninian and Vivian were just admiring or agreeing.
“Ugh, my head hurts, but I somehow understood.”
Still, Francis, who finished organizing the situation in a few minutes, answered.
Something came to mind when I heard that the danger level of the Foreign Church was set very high and that a ship comparable to the Masterpiece class was needed to find and subdue their stronghold.
“I don’t know much about Sea Area 6, but I think the timing of my visit was very appropriate. Both ‘Zaratan’ and ‘Wild Hunt’ are staying around Atlantis. “Under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t be surprising if we lost contact for several months.”
The ‘Zaratan’ ship, which has no comparison among ultra-large ships, does not return for at least three months once it sets sail.
This was because the storage of materials was enormous, so they roamed the seas, collected marine resources, and explored cracks until they were all used up, seeking maximum profits.
Not to mention the ‘Wild Hunt’, whose whereabouts were unclear.
“After ‘Bermuda’ and ‘United Council’ were reorganized due to the Moby Dick incident, they said they communicated a bit more and that they received more communication than before, but I’m not sure if that will happen this time as well. “If ‘Zaratan’ is a big case, I tend to tackle it head first, so it will be okay.”
“It’s called ‘Zaratan’… . Fran, how is your relationship with them?”
“It’s not good, it’s not bad. ‘Zaratan’ never clashed or formed alliances with other adventure groups. “It could be said that we are just passing by each other indifferently.”
Francis said that they could be treated as a group of mercenaries who were not friendly with anyone.
“The request success rate is close to 100%, and there has been no betrayal or contract violation, so he would be a good partner for an employer. “The adventurers seem reluctant.”
“Are there any bad rumors like Moby Dick?”
“Yes, there are trivial stories, but they are everywhere.”
It was then.
Leonard’s eyes narrowed as he caught the sight of him getting closer to the living room. He is someone who has reached the limit of transcendence. Although he can be commonly seen in the Samgong family, he was a person of skill that would be difficult to find beyond the single digits even at the national level outside the empire.
Anyone who had encountered him even once in Atlantis would not have been aware of his existence, so his identity was one of two things.
An adventurer from ‘Zaratan’ or ‘Wild Hunt’.
and.
“Whahahaha! “I’m sending out a hiring notice to the entire A-class adventure group. This is a really big employer after a long time!”
A middle-aged man with the appearance of a pirate walked into the parlor.
A captain’s hat worn crookedly and an eyepatch covering his left eye.
If there was even a hook attached to that wrist, it would be easy to believe that it was the pirate captain from an old story. The man, who looked around at Aquamarine as if he knew everything about them, immediately turned to Leonard.
“I guess this is your employer? “I am Samuel, the leader of ‘Zaratan.’”
The leader of ‘Zaratan’, one of the adventure groups that owns a Masterpiece class ship, has appeared.
