ACT 6 Sea Monster Extermination
“I’ crazy”
A sigh naturally flowed out The reason for Ark’s distress was Sid’s SOS
“What? You dare say that now?”
Soh the lobby of Global Exos He couldn’t help yelling
“H-hik! L-Lariette-nim!”
Sid stuttered with panic and hid behind Lariette The people in the lobby sent the But Ark didn’t see the eyes of those people The news that Sid told hi It was about the disappearance of Ark’s Gold Dreao, he had co back to Rueben Harbour when it had been eaten by an unidentified sea monster All of Ark’s hopes and dreams were placed on Gold Dream
Naturally he bought the fastest shi+ps, and coating the hull with various types of ic protections in order to ensure safe and quick trade All those expenses cost at least 40,000 gold It was also loaded with tens of old worth of trade products from Seutandal All that had become a meal for a sea monster The news Ark had heard out of nowhere made no sense Sid trembled from behind Lariette who looked puzzled but said
“Calm down It is not Sid-nim’s fault”
“Yes, but…”
Ark tried to say sohed and nodded That’s right Like Lariette said, he couldn’t bla with no probleh Sid knew that monsters appeared in that area, until now he had never had ofup on that route So Sid couldn’t be blamed for the problem
‘There’s no tiht now’
Wasn’t there a small bit of luck? Fortunately, there was still so to Sid, the e that it sed Gold Dream in one bite Therefore it was likely that Gold Dream had arrived in the monster’s stomach in a perfect state He had invested a lot ofso it should survive for a while in the stomach
‘In this situation, there is still a chance to take back Gold Dream!’
Of course, there was a li could last in the ested then that was 40,000 gold flying away Sid had ed to survive but he had no o all the way to Global Exos
“I have to find it before my dream becomes that monster’s excrements!”
He didn’t pay any attention to Sid and Lariette anymore Ark returned to his house immediately and entered the unit While the exact identity was unknown, the sea e The place was also the ent it was, how could he deal with it after swi there? Ark needed tothe opponent The moment he heard sea monster, the Seutandal navy came to mind
The Seutandal navy had a lot of experience fighting against pirates JusticeMan and the rehabilitation roup so he could ask them for help So Ark went to Isabel and asked for the help of the Seutandal navy But a probleht about occurred The water that the seaIf the Seutandal navy entered those waters then a serious diplomatic problem could develop So he flew to Reuben port and asked for a direct conversation with the Lord to solve the problem Since he was also a nobleht away But……
“I’ve heard about Sir Ark’s reputation Although Ithe sea, I am really sorry I would like to help you But I’ree to allow foreign troops in these waters is His Majesty the King”
“Then could you ask the King for me?”
“Of course I can do that But it is better not to expect too much These days the political situation both domestically and abroad isn’t very caln troops in territorial waters in this situation Even if it is accepted, it has to be decided at abetween aristocrats and could take more than a week”
Ark instantly beca Reuben’s answer Nohe placed on Gold Dream, it was impossible to endure the monster’s stomach for more than one week It had already been two days in reality so didn’t he only have a few days left? Furtheruarantee that the result would be positive Ark orried for a while before he estion
“Then what about the troops froe of nearby waters, wouldn’t you also have a navy? The sea monster is within a dozen nautical uarantee that it won’t attack the harbour”
“Of course ill fight if that happens But…”
The Lord of Reuben placed a weary finger on his forehead and replied
“Based on the news, this proble at sea After the black obelisks appeared on the continent, unidentified es and people have received serious dae from sea monsters for the moment but that isn’t the case on the land So most of the Reuben troops have been dispatched to the attacked villages”
The black obelisks and unidentified monsters that the Reuben Lord talked about had also been ain he realized that the bug had a huge i overturned wasn’t i for Ark was to recover his Gold Dream before it was too late
“Do I have no choice but to let go?”
Ark thought with despair as he exited the Lord’s castle
-Ark, hoas it? Is it done?
He had arrived at Reuben with Isyuram, and he received a whisper fro of the japteuild
-No There’s been a little problem
-Really? I thought so Based on what I heard frouild, the continent isn’t ordinary these days I thought it wouldn’t be easy to allow the Seutandal navy into these waters or to borrow troops from the harbour But there’s no need to do that
-Huh? There’s no need?
-It is difficult to describe so just couild for the moment
Ark listened to Isyurauild After Seutandal rose, Reuben becae uild was several tiic Institute next to it But when he arrived at the ely a lot of warriors andlike a cloud
“Ark, you came?”
Isyurah the crowd and waved his hand
“Yes, but why are there so many people? And what do you mean by there is no need to request help from the navy?”
“If you look at that then you’ll understand”
Isyuram pointed towards a bulletin board in front of the uild used to give infor areas But now a completely different type of notice was stuck on it
-Coate the disappearance in the Uldun Mountain Range

‘I see!’
Ark’s eyes flashed as he confirmed the mercenary recruitment Ark had overlooked an important part of the confusion caused by unidentifiedand around Reuben The one ould receive the uild that operated in various places on the continent The surprise attack froes only had the minimum defences And the fleets also had no protection Thanks to the appearance of the es related to the uild disappeared Normally the Lords of the related territory would’ve been petitioned and they would’ve taken care of it But currently the Lord were preoccupied with the subjugation the uild would lose a lot of money so they hired mercenaries to solve the case And Ark noticed the <coate=”” the=”” transportation=”” fleet=”” that=”” disappeared=””> on the bulletin board
’85 degrees latitude to the north is near the place where the sea monster attacked Sid!’
The uild seemed to think they lost contact with the transportation fleet because of pirates But after hearing Sid, Ark was convinced that the disappearance of the transportation fleet was related to the seadidn’t even matter If he participated as a ainst the sea monster?
‘Besides, they’ve already gathered 785 applicants They’ll probably leave after a few more minutes!’
Ark ie and asked for an application form After the NPC checked the submitted application form, the NPC stared at Ark with surprised eyes
“A-A nobleman?”
“Yes?”
“Why is noble the work of a mercenary……?”
The NPC looked at hiame but the situation would’ve been absurd in real life
‘What the? Is there a penalty when applying for so like this as a nobleman?’
Ark was anxious about this so he explained
“Actually a shi+p I oentfrom near here I’ve asked for help from Reuben’s navy but at theSo I’ve decided to apply after seeing the uild recruitment advertisement”
“Ah, I see Um…please come with me”
The NPC said after thinking for a while
“Then I’ll go”
“Yes, be sure to find it”
Ark then parted froo with Ark but he had proainArk separated from Isyuram and followed the NPC towards the dock dedicated to the uild
‘A!’
Ark’s ht battleshi+ps were anchored at the dock But the eight battleshi+ps were a completely different standard from the ones Ark had seen so far
“This is the new arer than ordinary battleshi+ps and the endurance is 30 more The exterior walls are also made of padded steel sheets so it won’t even be scratched by weak attacks When just sailing noret a scratch The shi+ps also have a separate encies”
The NPC looked at the battleshi+ps with pride filled eyes Then the voice of another NPC could be heard from the back
“Hey hey You will continue exposing all the secrets if you keep on chattering like that”
A youth wearing a flashy badge on his arhed and introduced the person
“Ah, this is the adner-nim”
Then he approached Wagner, pointed towards Ark and whispered soner looked at Ark and smiled pleasantly
“Ah, you are an aristocrat of Schudenberg kingdom Well, then there is no problem if you know confidential information about the armed fleet”
“Confidential?”
Ark couldn’t understand what the person was saying Wagner just laughed and explained
“Actually, this battleshi+p is a joint project between the Schudenberg navy and the uild These battleshi+ps took several years to make”
