Episode 541
Sigh...
It’s already been a while since the expedition set sail. For those who don’t bother to look neat, the beards they cut on land have already turned dark and thick.
“I guess we’ll have to prepare soon.”
This is what Jabil next to me said while looking at the horizon.
“Hmm...”
“It’s a cumulonimbus cloud. Coincidentally, it coincides exactly with the appearance of the dangerous waters that we had talked about before the expedition.”
Dangerous waters.
All news of those who attempted the New World before the expedition was cut off in this area.
Their appearance disappeared with the storm and no news was heard.
In other words, the probability of encountering some problem in this area was very high.
And now the time has come for the expedition to face the problem.
“The people on this ship are experienced sailors who have experienced many hardships. “I don’t think you need to worry too much.”
“This is the place where they preyed on a lot of those experienced sailors, so let’s not relax.”
“... of course.”
The captain of the boat that Snow Seol was on heard Jabil’s story, turned around and said as if he was in a bad mood. But Jabil’s story, although straightforward, was entirely true.
“It is a sea area that no ship has ever crossed....”
“The Thaliade crossed.”
“Oh, there’s a bunch.”
Jabil ambled into the cabin.
It seemed like they were trying to take a break before facing the heavy rain.
Snowfall was looking around to see if she could enjoy some alone time now, but there were people coming closer.
“What about Jabil?”
“... went in.”
Pong.
Legriff opened a small bottle.
Gulp... Gulp...
She was drunk the whole voyage.
What was in that bottle right now was rum.
“Smell of alcohol...”
“Heehee... Even though my body looks like this, I’m definitely an adult! I am old enough. “Maybe we’re similar ages?”
“My side is definitely on top.”
“... okay? “Or not.”
Sigh...
Gwynn’s hand, which was about to take a peek at Legriff’s bottle, was caught by her.
“... Are you out of your mind, Gwyn?”
“I’m an adult too.”
“Don’t lie, you’re not an adult yet.”
“... We’re the only ones who know anyway, so let’s just move on.”
“no. “Listen to me, sister.”
“Hmm...”
Regrif’s eyes widened when he saw the cumulonimbus cloud that Jabil had mentioned.
“It’s a storm! Is it finally coming?”
“I guess it’s real from here on.”
“I think I’m a little scared.”
“Thank goodness. I’m so scared. “It’s okay if it’s a little scary.”
When Kang Seol seriously joked, the siblings laughed.
When Kang Seol arrived at Gorgozia, he was able to choose between allies and enemies.
The siblings in front of me right now were one of those options.
“How did you meet Jabil?”
“huh? Jabil?”
Kang Seol wanted to hear the two of them for the first time in a long time.
“Didn’t you say you two are brother and sister? That’s because it’s amazing that I go out with Jabil. First of all... I’m not an ordinary person.”
“Ahahaha! That’s right, Jabil! “A man who was a confidant of the immortal Thaliad and who disappeared along with the immortal.”
Regrif wrinkled his nose.
“And if you look at it from the outside, he’s a big, nerdy guy. “Actually, there’s a story behind why we started going together.”
“Story?”
“I got help. “One-sided.”
“For help... do you owe me your life?”
“Similar! Gwyn, you’ve been hanging out with Jabil for quite a while, right?”
“... huh.”
Although Kangseol trusts the siblings, she cannot trust Jabil. So I needed more information about him.
“So are you following his will?”
“Oh, not that much. I am a friend who is very knowledgeable about curses, so I go with him because he is helpful. We have our own goals. The paths we take with Jabil are similar! “We work towards our goals, and in the meantime... we also pay attention to Jabil’s long-cherished wish.”
“It’s your only goal... your goal...”
Kang Seol made eye contact with the siblings with cold eyes.
“Is it because of the tattoo on that arm?”
Stop.
The brother and sister could not answer right away and asked after a pause.
“When did you see him?”
“You were careless the day before departure.”
“aha! “Were you a little drunk at that time?”
Jabil and his siblings visited Snowfall the day before setting sail and talked to him. They too were at risk of being targeted by the Golden King after setting foot in Gorgozia, and since they did not have the slightest trust from others, they decided that they might become isolated, so they tried to join hands with Kang Seol.
If Kang Seol had been the only opponent, he would have rejected it, but the siblings would have at least said Kang Seol.
I can’t shake it off.
In fact, I’m glad I didn’t hug him even more.
“....”
Nod.
Gwynn and Regrif roll up their sleeves and place their arms on the railing.
The siblings were definitely different from others.
Legriff’s left arm and Gwyn’s right arm were full of bizarre tattoos.
A tattoo that looks like a drawing or text.
‘This color...’
It was identical to the X-shaped tattoo on Jabil’s face. Jabil took care of the siblings.
“This...”
“... I will endure, devil.”
scary.
“My younger brother... will become an archmage and come to save me. Until then...”
I’ll hold on.
But can it be conveyed?
“... Save me, Gwyn.”
Her voice did not reach.
But it will definitely be conveyed.
[Adventurer Legriff will now create his own destiny.]
[Although the heart-pounding adventure has ended, his life continues.]
...
Snowfall thought there was only one way to save her.
There is no time.
Only moving Gwyn can change the situation. It is the only way to reach Regrif quickly and without arousing suspicion.
But how do we convey to Gwynn the situation Regrif finds himself in?
Questions like these made Kang Seol hesitate.
“... My sister is in danger.”
Kang Seol noticed Gwyn’s strange behavior. I quickly moved him.
Gwynn had already sensed the danger of Legrif even before the snowfall arrived.
– ... Save me, Gwyn.
He had already taken appropriate measures when breaking up.
The boy was young, but his skills had already surpassed that of his teacher, the witch, and the other great wizards scattered across Pandea.
The decision was quick.
I don’t remember how quickly I got to where Legriff was captured.
Even though I was young, I didn’t get lost. The snowfall guided him.
“Hold on... Legriff.”
Finally Gwynn arrived there.
Where there is a black box.
“... sister.”
Legrif is not dead yet.
However, a black energy was already halfway surrounding her.
Superhuman mental strength.
Despite the efforts, the situation did not look good.
“Legriff!”
“This voice... no, Gwyn... no... don’t come...”
Snowfall was in agony.
Wouldn’t there be a possibility if Gwynn joins in opposing the power that explodes from the black box?
It made sense since the teacher from whom Gwyn learned magic was a witch, not a wizard.
but.
If this choice is destined to fail, both are lost.
Snowfall hesitated.
But that’s just a meaningless worry.
The choice was impossible.
No other options came to mind.
“I told you not to come!”
Gwynn grabbed the black box out of control.
Whioooooo...
Half of his body was stained with black energy, just like Legrif.
– Surrender....
“...Sister.”
“Gwyn...”
Gwyn smiled at his sister.
“you can do it.”
“....”
“Let’s do it.”
Whioooooo...
Legriff’s blackened half face revealed the emotions of a devil trapped in a black box.
The devil laughed as if it were funny.
However, the other half of the face was also smiling. It was Legriff.
“... Be prepared to go deep.”
“I’m always prepared. “I’m a genius.”
“...on the topic of a kid.”
“It’s not something your sister should say.”
Churrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr of the two of them are
sucked
into the black box.
Regrif said, bursting into laughter.
“Hahaha! Let’s see your skills!”
“If you want!”
The siblings slowly disappeared into the black box.
“We... will definitely come back.”
Kwazik...
Kwajijijijik...
The ruins collapsed and the black box also disappeared somewhere.
That’s how Kang Seol lost her siblings.
And as time passes, the three are standing on a huge ship.
“...How can this be a boring story?”
Kang Seol unconsciously placed his hand on the siblings’ heads.
“What are you doing?”
“I will tell you, I am not a child...”
He was thankful that what happened so long ago was not in vain.
And remembering the secret promise of that day
– we... will definitely come back.
I said hello to the two.
“...thank god.”
