episode_0555

As the Great Wall was reduced, railroad construction progressed at a feverish pace.

Trains are being built well according to the blueprint, and the effectiveness of steam engines has recently been proven.

So there was only one job left for us.

─Reaching the inner demonic realm.

but.

“No one wants to be on the boat?”

“Yes. That’s why my head hurts these days.”

Seth grumbled and pouted his lips.

The servants said that Inoemagyeong was not a place for people to live, and ordered them to move out.

But later, he revealed his true intention, saying that it was just to get Maal to meet him.

I asked the Pope to clarify that point.

Is the Inoemaekyeong barren, or is it self-sufficient?

The Pope, Maal’s representative, said that Inoemagyeong was a self-sufficient place.

‘It doesn’t matter if not.’

All you have to do is mark the navigation route and travel back and forth several times to trade.

Since ancient times, healthy countries tend to reject foreigners.

I doubt that they will be friendly to outsiders, and perhaps the people of the outside world may regard me as a devil.

First, the car was fully prepared to cross the ocean with only one ship built.

“Well, who would believe it? Pangea is round, and there is another continent on the other side.”

Only to be told that there were no crew members.

I don’t know much about sailors.

However, it is understandable what it feels like when you think about the environment.

‘You have to stay on the same boat for several months.’

It’s like becoming a kind of family member.

Moreover, you can’t go back if something goes wrong.

In addition, there is a wind-free zone that comes when you sail over a certain distance.

According to common sense, sailing across the ocean was crazy.

So buying their trust is the top priority.

“I will meet the captains.”

* * * * * *

I was talking to the captains selected by Seth.

But most of them didn’t believe me.

Or it was just treated as a joke.

and.

“Are you telling us to believe that?”

“Yes. I also know what a wind-free zone is, and I will go on that boat with my wives.”

The captains look at me with wide eyes.

“···Going on a boat with your wife?”

“Yes. Is there any problem?”

Now I’m starting to fall for gender as well.

There can be no problem based on gender.

Even taking into account their labor, the wives would be far superior to any other sailors.

But the captains burst into laughter.

“Puhahahaha───!”

“This friend! But you want to get divorced?!”

“Carrying a woman isn’t enough, ma’am?!”

One of the captains snorts and stands up.

“We are not in the same boat as women.”

He left the reception room of the Magic Tower without even looking back.

It was completely incomprehensible behavior.

‘what? ‘Why on earth?’

One of the captains who was chuckling glanced at me and spoke.

“Have you ever heard the saying that taking a woman on a boat is bad luck?”

“No. Because I’m an inland person.”

He shook his head with a sigh.

“Friend, think carefully. Sailing isn’t easy?”

“It doesn’t matter if labor is the problem.”

“I’m not worried about you. The problem is that other people are having a hard time. How can you not think of a woman after sailing for several months?”

In other words, something unpleasant could happen on the ship.

‘Isn’t it a problem to hire people like that?’

The captain caught my gaze and leaned his weight on the armrest of his chair.

The eyes are drawn with arcs, but the pupils are serious.

“The look in your eyes is exactly like this. Hiring criminals like that?”

“Yes. To put it bluntly, wouldn’t it be okay to just masturbate if you feel like it?”

“Hahahaha! Masturbating with a hole in front of you?!”

‘That’s strange.’

I’ve been a teacher for nearly 30 years.

I wanted to ask why I couldn’t do it, but thanks to Sets using the Oman Award, it was difficult to ask about this topic.

“That’s not it. Long-term voyages erode a sailor’s health! What can you see when you’re dying alive like that?”

“You will see the gold coins you will receive at the end of the voyage.”

“Wrong. All I see is a stupid person who threw himself into hell to make money.”

The corners of my mouth rose at the words that struck me.

‘I used to be like that too.’

When I jumped in without a plan to save Elysia.

How scared and afraid were you? What’s worse, they’ll give you money to encourage you to do it again?

─Never do it.

But I did it again.

How many times. That’s what sailing seemed to be like.

“Sailors are united by loyalty. The moment something unpleasant happens on a ship, there is only one of two things.”

“Everyone joins in, or everyone leaves. That’s why it’s unlucky.”

I didn’t expect this part.

I was wondering if this was the part I needed to understand.

“Of course, I am confident that neither I nor my crew can do that. I am.”

“But there is a what if. What if my crew gets screwed?”

“···Don’t you know how to jerk off?”

“‘Holes’ are the problem?! By the way, I’ve also heard the sound of a goat getting hit! Meep! Meep! Meeeep!”

The captains giggled and clapped.

Let’s clap and laugh at each other for a while.

“But… heading to an island beyond the windless zone on a long-term voyage? No one found it?”

The captain looks at me with fierce eyes.

It seemed like this was this person’s last chance.

“Are you saying that women are the problem?”

“Okay. If there is no woman, I will be with you.”

‘He’ll be really angry if I tell him I’m going alone.’

I glanced at Seth.

Seth was looking at me as if telling me not to even think about it.

I felt embarrassed because I was caught trying to peek.

The captains opened their eyes and burst out in admiration.

“This is crazy.”

“Your wife is the owner of the magic tower?”

“Then we shouldn’t ride together anymore!”

The captain, who had been making obscene remarks, stood up from his seat.

“From the moment a woman lives in the same house, no matter how pretty she is, she is called an ajumma!”

“I think it would be difficult to work with you.”

But why?

The female captain, who had been quietly listening to the story, also stood up from her seat.

“Aren’t you a woman? The crew members are all women.”

“Oh my, do you think women are different?”

The female captain giggled and followed the captain as he left.

However, the fact that it is happening now means that there was a dark intention.

“Haha… why is fucking so important.”

It was a sound that was spoken as if to be heard.

It was because I wanted everyone to turn off if they had similar thoughts.

Because I didn’t come all the way to Horus to listen to this bullshit.

“It’s not that kind of problem. It means there is no place to vent your anger.”

The old captain smiled and comforted me.

There were two captains left.

One was elderly and the other was middle-aged.

“So, what is the way to get past the wind-free zone?”

It looks like the middle-aged man will listen to the story and then judge.

That’s normal, but how grateful I am that that man is normal.

“We will use steam engines. From the wind-free zone, you can think of moving forward with oars, not with the wind.”

The middle-aged captain sighed.

“I’ve heard of a steam engine… Because of that, the world is in an uproar these days.”

“First of all, we have to see what a steam engine is to be able to give an answer.”

‘Only two out of twenty.’

I felt like my common sense was collapsing.

I’m glad there are people who are at least interested.

“Yes. Go and see.”

* * * * * *

That’s how we arrived at the neutral Ainji Earth.

The two were fixed on the ship’s deck, looking with admiration at the propeller spinning at high speed.

“A ship moving without wind!”

“I never thought something like this would be possible…!”

In particular, the middle-aged male captain looked at the steam engine with joy.

‘Does that person want to join us?’

But wait for a while.

A middle-aged male captain approaches me.

Then won’t it pass me by and go back?

“Where are you going?”

“I had a good time.”

“Yes?”

“I just wanted to see how to apply the steam engine from the beginning.”

“······.”

There’s no laughter.

I thought it was understandable why sailors were rough.

‘It’s strange that you don’t go crazy when you hang out with guys like that.’

“I’ve done everything so I’ll have to go.”

“···You’re being so fucking rude.”

“Who would make such an absurd job offer?”

The middle-aged captain chuckled and left the shipyard with light steps.

I looked at the only old captain left.

He is a propeller or a ship. I was able to see the structure of the ship, examining the sails and anchors.

“···What do you think, Captain?”

“I’ve driven boats for 50 years.”

Soon the captain’s eyes, which were scanning the ship, turned to me.

“But this is a ship I don’t know about.”

“Pangaea This will be a first for anyone.”

“That’s why a guy like me shouldn’t drive it. I’m so used to the old ways.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“It’s so out of date that you can’t even take the opportunity.”

An old captain passed me by, patting my shoulder and encouraging me.

“I advise you, it would be better to take people who don’t know anything.”

It may have been serious advice to the captain, but this was a job that required veteran crew members.

My wife and I were ignorant about sailing.

I glanced at Seth.

Seth snorted as if he knew that would happen.

“The dragon said he wouldn’t help. ···Until you apologize.”

Then he secretly observed my reaction.

The guy who is peeping behind Seth looks good.

I raised my middle finger towards the dragon.

“Tell him to fuck me.”

“Ha!”

The guy laughed as if he was dumbfounded and disappeared.

Seth, who regained control of his body, smiled with admiration in his eyes.

“···You are really stupid.”

“Just bring me a book about sailing because I will learn it myself.”

I know I’m stupid too.

But living foolishly has its own charm.

It was after I saw with my own eyes a sailboat the size of my body that I realized I should have stopped.

But how can a man say two things with one mouth?

I slowly lost that thought after reading the worm-like Horus language.

I closed the book before I could get past ten chapters.

Seth laughed at me in an absurd tone.

“What, are you giving up already?”

“Yes. Because I am human.”

“What?”

“Humans are animals that originally live together.”

I decided to follow the old captain’s words.

Lu’s totem that was not visible during the day. The solar coral illuminating the deep sea glowed softly at night, making the dark ocean shine.

Dark ocean is the opposite of face and night.

Thanks to this, fishermen catching diurnal fish were busy netting and harpooning.

“···It’s pretty.”

“That’s right.”

However, fear arose when a fish the size of a whale obscured the sun coral.

Slap─Slap─

We walked along that coast.

Every time I stretch out my foot. Or, at the edge of the waves, fluorescent light like fireflies twinkles.

‘That bastard really has no conscience, does he?’

How can I cross this sea without the power of a servant?

In a windless area, Lexi’s powers are useless.

I felt overwhelmed, but that only lasted for a moment.

‘Since when did I expect something from a servant?’

From the beginning, servants were my enemies.

At least as long as you have Hwajeong and Shingi, you can at least go beyond the windless zone.

I went to a dockside tavern to seduce a suitably stupid sailor like me.
