Book 6 Chapter 142 (2/2)
“But what were you doing here? You don’t seem to have come here for an outing...”
“We were looking for medicinal herbs to cure an infectious disease.”
Woohyuk briefly explained the situation in the Lydia Kingdom.
Allen looked convincingly at Helena and Karin.
“Everyone, you are my lifesavers. I would like to help in any way I can to repay you. I an quite a skilled mage, you know?”
“Then let's take a quick look inside the s.h.i.+p before we leave.”
Although they had already been robbed by pirates once, some items might’ve been left behind.
As Woohyuk expanded his senses, a ferocious cry resounded in the air.
It was a group of Fire-winged birds he had met in the past.
“Perfect. They’ll make a delicious meal.”
Woohyuk immediately summoned Triton, and pointed at the sky with his finger.
“Catch those, Mr. first cla.s.s sailor.”
“…”
Triton raised the magic sword Ranghilt as if he didn't care anymore and wasn’t surprised.
Then, ice arrows formed around the blade and flew towards the flying birds.
Stab!
Stab!
Stab!
Stab!
With cold penetrating sounds, the fire-wing birds began to fall onto the deck one by one.
“Oh, it’s the first time I’ve seen this va.s.sal. Why hasn’t he appeared so far?”
“I forgot about him because I was busy.”
“…”
Ever since his first appearance, Triton’s value gradually decreased in Woohyuk’s mind.
As Triton gathered the birds on one side, Woohyuk went down the deck and headed for the cabin.
“Did all the clan members who escaped with you die?”
”I do not know. The s.h.i.+p suddenly crashed into something and I lost consciousness... Some of the pa.s.sengers were elves.”
”Elves?”
Elves, called the forest people, were weak on the sea.
Most of them probably didn't survive.
But death was probably better than being dragged away by the Blackbeard.
Because of their beautiful appearances, elves were often sold as s.e.x slaves.
“Yes, I am actually a human mage serving Elf Queen Orphelia. I have come all this way due to an order of hers.”
After rummaging the messy floor, Allen gave an additional explanation.
The Croa Princ.i.p.ality was currently in a crisis due to the pincer attack between Alice the Queen of Thorns and the demons.
Although five paladins of the Empire were dispatched there, they were unable to resolve the chaos.
In the meantime, Elf Queen Orphelia had a dream.
A mysterious plant growing on a cliff on the west coast of the Lydia Kingdom had bound up Alice the Queen of Thorns and dried her to death.
Elf Queen Orphelia judged this dream to be a revelation about their guardian deity, the one who would save them.
A small expedition was secretly dispatched with Allen as the commander.
The voyage was smooth until they met Blackbeard’s crew by the coast of the Norton Kingdom.
'Things have gotten complicated.'
Woohyuk scratched his head when he heard Allen’s words.
Incidents that hadn’t occurred in his past life were happening around the world
This wasn’t desirable for Woohyuk since he relied on his memories of the past when making plans for the future.
Many things had already changed, so he couldn't easily get a sense of where to correct things.
When Woohyuk pondered whether to revise the existing plan, he heard a creak in one cabin.
”Hm? A survivor?”
Helena approached the cabin and tried to grab the door handle.
Woohyuk suddenly pushed her aside and brandished Grandia.
Bang!
Swoos.h.!.+
Before long, the cabin door swung open violently, and a bunch of blue arrows flew out toward Woohyuk.
However, the attacks were neutralized by the Ghost Queen Star Serpent.
Afterwards, Woohyuk narrowed the gap and hit the opponent’s abdomen with Grandia's pommel.
A delicate scream resounded in the cabin.
“Kyaa!”
An elf woman.
She had the typical appearance of an elf, but had a tear spot around her eyes.
Woohyuk spoke after taking away the longbow in her hands.
“Are you attacking because of the demonic energy inside me?”
“Yes, demons are disgusting and vile creatures.”
The blue eyes of the elf woman flashed through her blond bangs.
Her hatred was burning like a flame.
Apparently she had been in bad situations with demons.
“So you’re alive, Reina.”
“… Allen? Did you also join the demons’ faction?”
As Allen entered the cabin, Reina’s eyes opened wide.
Allen shook his head and pointed to Helena next to him.
“They are my lifesavers. And since this beautiful woman is a saint, they cannot be on the demons’ side.”
“No way… But this man is definitely a demon...”
Reina looked at Woohyuk's group with a hesitant expression.
Then Karin approached her and smiled widely.
“Don’t worry, Miss. Mr. Woohyuk is not a bad person.”
“Then why do you have demonic energy? Were you forced to sign a contract with a demon?”
“Mr. Woohyuk is the descendant of the former Demon G.o.d.”
Karin had heard about Woohyuk during their conversations.
But her words made Reina more confused.
”What… did you say…?”
Not only did she come across pirates, but this time, she was facing the Demon G.o.d.
Her eyes shook in a mixture of surprise, shock and fear.
