Chapter 1175

Episode 1175. Fog is visible at 11 o’clock!

Countess Bellanus.

Boris Knights.

Camilo Kusman, who returned to the knights, summoned all the knights.

“...That’s why the task force decided to take over the management of Hades Port for the time being. But you should know at least what’s going on in our territory, right? One person should remain at Hades Port to monitor the movements of the task force and northern nobles. Applicants, raise your hand.”

But there were no applicants.

There’s a reason it’s not an honorable mission, but more so it’s fear of the Imperial task force.

The Imperial Task Force has a ‘Summary Judgment’, which people called the ‘License to Kill’.

Even if they were aristocrats, if they were spotted by the special task force, they disappeared without even knowing mice or birds.

So it was a difficult task to take on without risking death.

“Isn’t there?”

When the knight commander asked again, the knights quietly averted his eyes.

Then one person raised his hand.

it is benzel

However, the knight commander turned his gaze away from her and returned to the knights.

“I will pay 500 copper per day as a bonus to the driver who applies.”

500 copper per day is 15 silver per month.

Even so, the knights’ hands did not rise.

Benzel waved his hand vigorously.

The knight commander, who gritted his teeth and glared at the knights, spoke again.

“I will give you 1 silver per day as a bonus.”

One silver a day was equivalent to the monthly salary of a 30 silvery baron.

The eyes of several knights shook, but they still did not raise their hands.

Tired of waiting for the knight commander’s name to be called, Benzel shouted out loud.

“I will do it!”

The knight commander, who was staring at Benzel with disapproving eyes, said.

“Everyone leave except Benzel. Vice-captain, relocate the security forces outside the port. In case of emergency, it should be selected as a location where the security forces can be immediately put in.”

“yes.”

Soon after, the vice-captain and the knights rushed out of the meeting room.

A sigh flowed from Viscount Camilo Kussman’s mouth as he stared at Benzel.

“ha! Did you know that the Imperial Task Force has the authority to make a summary judgment?”

“yes.”

“They don’t always exercise that power justly. It may be right by their standards, but there are many things that are wrong in the eyes of others.”

As the Knight Commander’s nagging continued, Benzel burst into tears.

“I am not a child.”

“So that is what I am saying. In Port Hades, you stand out too much.”

It is only natural that attention will be focused on a blonde beauty staying at the port.

Trying to monitor the task force could have become a toy of the task force.

He didn’t want to lose Benzel to the task force.

“The port manager has children about to enter the academy. If you go in the name of guiding them, there will be no problem.”

“Hmm.”

Silence flowed from Viscount Camilo Kussman’s mouth.

Gibson Cannon, the port manager, is Ramus, a fallen aristocrat with only a surname.

The Ramus desperately sent their children to the academy to regain their title.

This is because if you work hard at the academy, you can get a title as a knight, wizard, or at least a scribe.

So, wealthy Ramus invited knights and wizards to teach their children before entering the academy.

It could have been safer that way than absurdly hiding his identity.

“I will send someone to give instructions to Gibson. It’s okay to fail in your mission, so don’t do anything that might arouse suspicion from the task force. Do you understand?”

When the knight commander said that, Benzel’s eyes softened.

“I will be careful. Thank you for allowing me.”

“Go back and get ready and be at Gibson’s by 5:00.”

“yes.”

Benzel bowed silently to the knight commander and left the conference room.

Moments later, Viscount Camilo Kusman called Baron Tais Fluty, the head of the knights and his right-hand man.

“Tice.”

“yes.”

“I couldn’t break Benzel’s stubbornness. I heard that Gibson, the port manager of Hades, has children who are about to enter the academy. They plan to send those children to Hades Port in the name of teaching them. Go see Gibson right away and have him hire Benzel. Benzel will be at Gibson’s by five o’clock.”

“All right.”

“The task force can investigate Gibson, so you shouldn’t even reveal our plans. Just get Benzel hired as a makeshift tutor for the kids.”

indeed!

The horizon disappeared and a white mist took its place.

Is the long-awaited extreme weather about to begin?

A lookout sailor at the top of the main sail shouted loudly.

“I see fog at 11 o’clock!”

The bow slowly turned to the left and soon became a straight line with the fog.

There was a little tension on the faces of the calm sailors.

They say they don’t believe in superstition, but they seem concerned.

About an hour later, the magic sailboat entered the fog.

But still the wind was weak and the waves were still.

Because of the weak wind, the horse-powered sailboat had to sail through the fog for quite some time.

Humans adapt easily.

The faces of the sailors, who had been hardened with tension, gradually relaxed.

This is because the fog encountered in the Sea of Demons is not much different from the normal sea.

Contrary to those sailors, Elio and his party didn’t look good.

In particular, Elio was to the point where even the brazen Fabian noticed.

Had it been three hours since sailing through the fog?

Elio, who could not stand the stuffiness, got up from his seat and climbed onto the prow railing.

In time, he released aura into the mist.

The whole sea was filled with his aura.

Elio looked into the situation as far as the sea through the aura.

The wind was still weak and the waves were calm.

‘ha!’

Elio let out a long sigh.

It wasn’t a weather change that occurred in the sea of demons, it was an ordinary fog.

He sighed and returned to his seat, closing his eyes.

Fabian looked him in the eye and said cautiously.

“Is it an ordinary fog?”

“Oh rest.”

“Don’t worry too much. Isn’t it said that poop comes out at the end of a fart? If you do this, a real extreme weather will happen.”

“okay.”

Elio decided to let go of his impatience.

Now that he has reached the sea of demons, he has done everything he can.

If you’ve done this and still can’t find the celestial star, it’s Mana Phthras or Shastra Parakti’s fault.

‘Come on, since I’ve come this far, I’ll take care of myself from now on.’

Elio sharpened his teeth.

Whether it’s Kama Debias (Chunjama) or Shastra Parakti (Nine Heavenly Maiden), someone will be held accountable.

It was around dusk when the magic sailboat broke through the fog.

The sailors who went back to their daily lives checked for tools that had been lost in the sea in the fog.

After a while, the dark red sun slowly disappeared over the horizon.

The bow and stern were then hung with lanterns.

Captain Althelm prepared dinner for Elio and his crew on the bow.

From a distance, it looks beautiful and peaceful.

Elio, who was dipping bread into the meat stew, suddenly opened his mouth.

“Fabian, don’t you miss your family?”

“I miss you.”

“Have you been out of the house for a while?”

“Yeah, two years.”

“I haven’t even been a year, so why does it seem like it’s been so long?”

Elio, apparently lacking in appetite, put down his spoon and stood up.

“Do you want more?”

“I’m full. I have no appetite.”

Elio left the two of them and trudged to the back of the magic sailboat.

When I was in Hirhera, I wasn’t so impatient, but it’s hard to bear it for some reason.

‘Is it because of Shimma?’

He rather hoped it was because of Simma.

Because if something happened to my family, I would have to fight all the gods in existence.

Suddenly, a verse from the poem of Cheon Gong Sung came to mind.

O stranger,

fight alone against all the gods.
