Chapter 257 – Carleya

#257.

The meal proceeded quietly. Except for occasional conversations between Lord Rhonda and Bianca, there was an uncomfortably quiet silence.

In the meantime, Lord Rhonda turned his attention to me.

“Sir Tru. I happened to talk to the cruise captain, and he said he was going to Carleya Kingdom. Is it true?”
“… Yes. You’re right. There’s something the head of the household instructed me to do, so I’m thinking of going there.”
“Hmm… Right.”

When I agreed, Yeongju frowned at her eyes for a moment as if thinking about it, then waved her hand. As the butler approached at the gesture, he began to whisper softly.

“I will write a letter, so bring paper and a pen.”
“Yes. Lord.”

After that, the butler left the banquet hall.

“Greatness! Sir Tru. There’s someone I know in the Kingdom of Carleya, and I’ll write you a letter of introduction. I don’t know what mission it is, but it will be of great help. Even though you are a knight of the Yurinas family, can’t you just reward the young lady?”
“If you do that, I will thank you.”

A knight’s ball naturally belongs to its master. Even though it was okay to ignore my performance, Lord Ronda seemed to want to take care of it separately. He was a noble nobleman more than he thought.

The conversation with me ended there. Since the lord was also a man, he preferred talking to a beautiful noble lady rather than me. Of course, there was no sexual feeling in it at all.

During that conversation, when the butler brought paper and a pen, Yeongju quickly wrote down the letter of introduction. I write it coolly without any blockage and hand it to me.

“Get it here. General Francis is the captain of the Coast Guard. Five years ago, he was also the commander of the fleet, so that will help.”
“Thank you. I don’t know what to do with you treating me like this.”
“It’s okay. I see you are still young. It doesn’t end here. It’s an investment for that time.”

I was in my 20s no matter how big I put my face value. At this age, if you are at the level of 9 stars, there will be a brighter future ahead. The lord’s favor was also based on this calculation.

‘By the way, it was five years ago…’

He said that a man named General Francis had been in a high position to lead the fleet five years ago. However, if it is to be demoted to the position of the Coast Guard, what kind of mistake should it be?

Please, I hope it is not a sin that feels like a robbery or bribery. I believed that as long as the lord was sane, he wouldn’t introduce me to such a person.

While I was alone in my thoughts, the lord was explaining the compensation plan to Bianca as well. It was roughly a story about trade tax discounts and conveniences.

The conversation that went on with the meal ended with Bianca putting down her fork and knife. I was also sufficiently full, so I wiped my mouth with a napkin and looked at the lord.

“Hmm! I enjoyed eating today. Now that the conversation is over, let’s break the dinner with this. Are you okay?”
“Yes. Of course. Great meal. Thank you Thanks to you, I had the opportunity to broaden my knowledge. The seafood is really fresh.”
“Say anything. I’m glad you liked it. The wagon has been prepared in advance, so you can get on it right away. I’ll see you later when I get a chance.”

At the same time as the lord said, the butler ushered us outside. When I left the mansion, I saw a carriage. After riding there, we returned home and made love as passionately as always.

***

The three days passed in the blink of an eye. We spent all that time together and loved each other. And the time for parting has come.

“Rai, did you not pack anything? Check it out again just in case. Look at the food and clothes, and take out the letter of introduction that the lord gave you. And again…”
“Calm down. You took good care of everything. I will contact you often. Don’t worry. If you go to the Magic Tower, don’t fight with the two of them and talk to them. Got it?”

I calmed down Bianca and gave her advice instead. After I left for Carleya, Bianca decided to go to the Magic Tower to meet Sernia and Tina.

All lovers share and complement each other’s information through an organic link. Bianca also promised to cooperate with the two in the Mage Tower first.

The Church of Destruction is a common enemy to everyone involved with me. There was no disagreement about joining forces for him. It was an integrated doctor who excluded all personal feelings.

“Don’t worry about me! You really need to worry And letters of introduction are only used when it’s dangerous. You never know That General Francis might be a member of the Church of Extinction.”
“I know. Because if you do, you won’t have anything to write about. Do not worry. Okay?”
“Huh…”

I hugged Bianca, who had finally calmed down, and stroked her hair gently. Feeling a hand wrapping around my waist, I whispered quietly.

“Love you. See you later.”
“Huh. I love you too. You must come back soon.”

Whispering our love for each other, we kissed our faces close to each other without asking anyone first. Perhaps thinking it was the last time, Bianca responded positively and sucked my tongue.

Something tickled my chest with a watery, sloppy sound. I felt a strange sensation of energy rising from my toes and sweeping through my whole body.

Parting was such a pity. We stayed that way for several minutes and didn’t fall. We, who seemed to never fall apart like that, slam! It was only then that I fell to the sound of the waves hitting the pier.

“Then I will go.”
“Huh. Have a safe trip!”

After brushing off her regret with a kiss, Bianca saw me off with a bright smile. I also thought there was no reason or need to procrastinate at a time like this, so she greeted me more brightly than ever before and got on board.

“Sir Tru. Welcome. I look forward to!”
“I really appreciate you. Did you say it would take seven weeks?”
“Yes. You’re right. Pirates are rampant these days, so you have to avoid dangerous routes. Of course, there is no need to worry because Sir Tru is here, but there is no need to take unnecessary risks. Haha!”

Cruise’s captain. Bandani replied with a smile.

Although they recruited mercenaries for three days, it is too much to cover the entire cruise ship. It’s just that I’m there, so I’m taking it and leaving in a hurry.

Bandani would also like to recruit mercenaries leisurely and depart, but the trade route was severed and the schedule was delayed, so there was no choice but to hurry.

In fact, normally, you don’t have to worry about pirates attacking your cruise ship. That’s right, many nobles ride on cruise ships, and they are accompanied by many more knights.

Of course, even if you raid, you won’t be able to see such a big income. On the contrary, there were many cases where they were reversely killed by the knights, so it was normal for them to be unable to do anything about it.

However, due to this incident, there was a setback when the nobles canceled the tickets. There is no guarantee that pirates will not raid.

That’s how I couldn’t be neglected. In fact, the safety of the current cruise ship is no different from what I’m responsible for.

“Don’t worry about safety. I will work hard until right before I die.”
“Haha! Even a joke… You don’t have to be so picky. In fact, pirates only extort tolls, and there is no possibility that they will come out to extremes. Then let’s go to the room. You’ve been holding it too long.”
“Yes. Enough then.”

I meant it from the bottom of my heart, but Bandani waved his hand and let it go. To be honest, we didn’t have that much loyalty between us, so it was justified to take it as a joke.

Anyway, after passing by Bandani and entering the room, I turned to the window and looked outside. By the way, the room I was using was the one I stayed with Bianca. I didn’t feel the need to move it, so I decided to write it as is.

“You’re finally going…”

How much time had I spent going to Carleya? It reminds me of how much has happened along the way.

Of course, reuniting with Bianca was a good thing no matter how many times I thought about it, but it was not the only effort that went into going there.

What’s worse is that there are many more things that will happen in the future. What will happen to you there? I looked down at the calm water with half anticipation and half sobriety.

Boooooung-

In the meantime, time passed and the cruise ship announced its departure.

Finally, he took the first step towards Carleya.

***

The sea is resentful.

A month has passed since the first step was taken. What has happened so far can be summed up in one word.

It was a very, very, very boring journey.

What can you do with a ship that crosses the vast ocean? I am so bored right now.

“When will you arrive…”

I stood by the window overlooking the sea and stared blankly at the vast sea.

Of course, I wasn’t the only one on the boat. Various people who work on the cruise ship, and aristocrats who are on board because they have business in the kingdom of Carleya. A lot of people were all around.

But there was no reason for me to make friends with them. In the first place, even on Earth in her previous life, she was the type to play alone, so she didn’t feel particularly lonely.

The problem is that unlike Earth, there are not many games that can be played alone here. No, it was safe to say that there was none at all.

After all, I was working on personal training in bed for more than 15 hours a day. Time goes well when I do virtual sparring, but after a month, I started to get tired.

The only thing that makes me happy is…

Boooooung-

“You’re here!”

It’s only when pirates raid.

There is no other case where the trumpet sounds in this vast sea.

I happily pulled out the platinum. It is a time of exciting slaughter.

Like an idiot who became addicted to the sensation after cutting off the head of a criminal, I grabbed a platinum sword and gasped up to the deck.

The deck was crowded with mercenaries, knights, sailors and everyone else. It was to the point that I could never see the sea unless I pushed in with force, but I wasn’t.

Everyone saw me and stepped aside to open the way. It was a phenomenon that occurred when the blood of countless pirates was mixed with the palette of the sea for a month.

As we proceeded along the road, Captain Bandani greeted us.

“Ah! Sir Tru. Are you here? These fearless pirates have very swollen livers! It came from the front very openly!”
“Leave it to me.”

It’s just that the enemies I’ve met so far have been so powerful that 9-star feels like shit. In fact, it could be seen as an incredibly high level.

As I dealt with the pirates for a month, I felt it clearly, as well as everyone else. In those numerous raids, there were only zero casualties on board the cruise ships.

Before the pirate ship even attached to the cruise, jet-black strong winds rained down from the sky, so there was no way to withstand it. The ship can’t stand the slightest bit and is dismantled piece by piece, so there is no choice but to do no damage to us.

At first, the captain, who wondered if it would be okay, saw it three times, and then smiled even when the pirates appeared.

They say it’s revenge for the fact that they usually took the money as a toll tax. He complained to me saying he felt refreshed.

The gossip ends here. I immediately launched Platinum into the air with swordsmanship and got on top of it. Arms folded as always! Wearing it, holding the form and crossing the sky.

It was only then that the pirates started to mutter, as if they thought they hadn’t touched it properly. Seeing that crowded and turbulent appearance, he was about to launch an attack.

Caang!

… The river has flown.
