Chapter 198 – Chapter 20

Chiiyi Ik—

With the sound of the magic engine moving in the engine room, the metal-lined passenger ship starts moving slowly.

When traveling between the western and eastern continents, it was too dangerous to use only wooden sailboats because magic could not be used.

In particular, because wizards are just healthy ordinary people, and knights are downgraded to the level of warriors who are stronger than others, they cannot withstand the pirates’ offensive.

So, in order to maintain intercontinental trade, some technology was released to civilians as well as ships.

Of course, weapons to be mounted on ships have to be purchased from certain countries at high prices.

‘Now I have to wait for three days without moving.’

Thanks to Artemis guiding him based on the map Akina gave him, Kaicent arrived at the port in one day by continuously using teleport magic.

He sighed as he felt the ship move as he boarded the first-class cabin of a passenger ship bound for the East Continent.

The first class room was very expensive because only a few or a few people used the spacious and comfortable space on a ship with a limited size, but thanks to the gold coin pouch Akina gave, there was no problem even using the first class room for a round trip.

‘I’d like to tell Artemis to build a motor boat…’

It is said that the fragmentation magic field makes it impossible to use even an unmanned person’s internal energy.

If the waves are big because of marine monsters or a sudden storm in the middle of the sea, you will be in a situation where you have to hide in a dimensional warehouse.

In addition, it is said that ships going to and from the continent use a specially treated magic engine, but Artemis, which did not have data on the magic division field, could not build such an engine.

-Are you all right, Master?-

At that time, Artie’s voice came into Kaicent’s head.

In order to communicate with the outside world in the dimensional warehouse, Artemis made a communication device on the fly.

Since Akina received a lot of resources, it became possible to make something on the spot if necessary.

‘Fine… Don’t I want to jump into the sea right away and run to the East Continent without stopping.’

I hope that I can finally meet Dang Seol-yeong.
Anxiety that she is being chased by people.
Worried that Prince Geride exploded in anger and assaulted him.

All kinds of emotions were swirling around, making Kaisent’s head dizzy.

-Please put Prince Geride’s case back for now. I explained the situation to Akina.-

Artemis wrote down the details of the case on a blank sheet of paper through a bot that was doing paperwork.

When Akina returns to her office after sorting out the situation, she will naturally know what’s going on.

‘Thank you, Artemis.’
-I hope your plan goes well, but I can’t stop the war with Harlot Kingdom.-
– Release. Please stop burdening the already complicated master.-
-That said, let’s pretend we don’t know what we have to pick up and move on? Is this going to end like that?-
– It’s not about ignoring it. Right now, the master is in a complicated situation with all the things rushing at once.-
– An emotional machine. It’s something I’ll live a long time to see.

This is a reaction that a stranger would have thought that Lilith was a robot and Arty was a living being.

– Kaicent. Let’s make one thing clear-
‘Something?’
-Revenge first, or Dang Seol-young?-
‘You say that? Of course it’s Seol-young’s sister.’
– Yes, that’s right. You said before that you could give up your revenge in order to find Dang Seol-young.-

When Lilith tried to say something, Artie quickly turned his head to read the situation, then shut his mouth.

-But why are you in such a hurry?-
‘Yes?’
– Let’s count sequentially. It’s still unconfirmed whether that Asian magic swordsman is your enemy or not. On the other hand, the position of Dang Seol-young is not clear. Prince Jared? That will keep Akina out until you return. Even if the worst happens, can’t we just run away to Cameld Kingdom? The queen there says she feels guilty about Lillian, so if you use that to escape to another kingdom across the Cameld Kingdom, it’s over.-
‘…’
-All you have to worry about right now is that Dang Seol-young is getting away well. All of that means you don’t have to wrap your head on your own.-

Revenge, Dang Seol-yeong, assault on Prince Jeride.
All of these situations were Kaicent’s personal problems.

Problems that were too difficult for a young boy to deal with came at once, but struggling alone made my head complicated.

‘Thank you. I was too narrow-minded.’

Perhaps thanks to Lilith’s clearing up of the situation, Kai Sent’s mind became clearer, her breathing became more regular, and the thoughts that had risen in her mind faded away.

– That’s good. At least one of the housewives could look at the whole calmly.-
-Joy. Isn’t that what you who knew everything from the beginning?
-If I had said the same thing, Master wouldn’t have been able to completely allay his emotional outburst like he is now.-

Artemis simulated the number of cases from when she punched Geride.

Through the results, she drew the same answer as Lilith, but she was just a machine and she expected that the meaning would fade even if she said it, so she just kept her mouth shut.

‘That’s a bit disappointing, Artemis. I thought Artemis was family too.’
-But it is also a machine that tries to solve all problems rationally. The result of being too rational is bound to give humans a strong sense of repulsion. If I had just copied Lilith’s lines, would I have felt the relief I have now?-
‘That’s, that, um…’

Although he was relieved, he probably wasn’t as relieved as Lilith, thinking that it was the best result Artemis had calculated.

When Kai Sent’s complicated head calmed down, Artemis, who was acting emotionally for the same reasons as Artemis, opened her mouth.

-By the way.-
‘Huh?’
-What did you look like before? I knew it had scales and could change its limbs, but I’ve never seen it transformed to that extent.-
-Ah, I thought the same.-

Lilith also expressed the same question.
However, it was Artemis who answered their questions.

-I can answer that.-
-You?-
-Because the owner won’t know.-
‘Huh. That’s what it looked like when I woke up. What was it? I must have inherited my mother’s blood less than the other siblings, so all I had to do was transform her limbs?’

It was the first time that almost the whole body was transformed, so to be honest, I was embarrassed too.

Rather than just such embarrassment, anger, hatred, revenge, impatience, and all sorts of emotions were swirling around, and priorities were pushed back.

-The master’s father is a transcendent. However, dragons overwhelm humans in their superiority as a species.-
‘Huh. Even on a cosmic scale, the Balaur were the best race in terms of intelligence, strength, and longevity.’
-That’s why the master’s dragon factor was expressed.-

Artemis continued to explain after that.

Regarding the dragon factor, there is a long and difficult explanation about genes, so to shorten it as much as possible, the contents are roughly like this.

When the mind, soul, and body unify and release strong power, the factor of the transcendent being on the father’s side is the result of strengthening the dragon factor to become strong enough to satisfy the needs of the mind and soul.

In other words, since Prince Geride kept blocking him while he was busy, Kaisent’s mind, soul, and body were united in anger toward him.

-But there is one prerequisite.-
‘Precondition?’
-That means that the Balaur factor must be constantly stimulated beyond a certain level.-
‘How?’
– Dragons are a race that is genetically imprinted to dominate other races besides themselves even before entering the universe. Violence, authority, money, whatever. In particular, whenever the desire for dominance is strongly satisfied, the factor is further stimulated.
‘Ah.’

After hearing that far, he realized that he had already fulfilled the prerequisites.

From Dangseolyeong to Akina and Shirin.

In particular, the last two women were strong people who thought they could win even if they attacked them now, but by ruling them at the same time, the dragon factor was greatly stimulated.

There was a time when I felt a surge of strength in my body whenever the girls who were stronger than me devoted their bodies and minds and showed their obedience, and that must have been it.

-But how did Artemis know all of that?-
-That’s right. I don’t know much about the science of other worlds, but it’s knowledge that you can only know by actually seeing it?

Artie and Lilith questioned as Artemis gave the answer in a very orderly manner and without the slightest reasoning.

-It’s because the family’s eldest daughter, Idrienne, went through it.-
‘Ah. She was the big sister I thought it was strange before because she seems to be clearly stronger than the other older sisters.’
-The good news is, that’s not all.-
‘Huh? Is there another one?’
-Now, whenever the master feels the desire to dominate, the factor of the Balaur will be stimulated.-
-What does that mean?-
-This means that your abilities will increase when you transform into a dragon.-
‘What? Nonsense. If the genes were stimulated and became stronger, everyone would have stimulated the genes with electric shocks.’
-The reason why others are impossible is because they need the factor of a transcendent. In fact, Idrien is getting stronger every time she feels the loyalty of her minions.-

At that time, without Kaicent’s order, the dimensional warehouse opened and Artie and Lilith appeared.

“Huh? Huh? Artie? Lilith?”
“That means the more we obey you, the stronger we become?”
“Master makes us feel obedient and becomes strong. It’s a very good win-win relationship.”

Reverse-summoning her armor, Lilith, perched next to Kai Sent, grabs his arm and inserts it between his chest so that he can feel his elastic body.

Likewise, Arti, a machinaroid with a somewhat artificial taste but soft and elastic artificial skin, pulled Kaicent’s arm and brought it close to her body to appeal to her charm.

“Take control of us, Master♥”
“That would be unreasonable. Seeing you worry about trivial matters, you’re only growing up, but a kid is a kid. Isn’t that right, little master♡”
“Cuk-Cuk-Cuk. That’s right.”
“Ugh!!”

I know you are deliberately provoking yourself.
Even so, this is a provocation that a man must accept.

“Profit!”
“Kyaa♥”
“Ah ♡”

Kaicent tossed the two women with provocative glances at him onto the bed and climbed on top of them.

Then he hugged all the women taller than him at the same time and alternately kissed his face from side to side.

‘I like clones, but the real Kaicent’s cock is the best♥’
‘Huh-huh♡ You’re very angry, Master♡’

Having to stay on this ship for three days is an immutable law that cannot be changed.

Rather than spending that time in vain worrying about a woman named Dang Seol-yeong, it would be a clever decision as a wife to let her spend time immersed in the world of lust with them.

*                           *

Haha! You must have been a Moorim person too! Seeing that you use poison, is it Danga?”
“It’s great!”

Dang Seol-yeong desperately evaded the attack of the same Jin Soo-ah, who rushed at him while sending swords from his twin swords.

‘There is no time to attack!’

To be honest, she looked down on Jin Soo-ah, who was a woman even though she was a Moorim person.

This is because there are very few female drummers in Moorim compared to male drummers.

Unlike men who train based on a peripheral feeling of wanting to be stronger than others in the first place, women do not feel the urgency to become stronger like men because they compare each other based on their beauty.

However, Jin Soo-ah was completely different from those women.

“Attack!”
“Hot!”
“Suck!”

At her signal, the two men who devoted themselves to running from left and right approach her and attack.

He has a wide field of view and treats others naturally.
This is like the leader of a group.

‘I can’t be defeated here!’

Passs—-!

“Big!?”
“Oh, poison…!”
“Chit! Avoid!”

Tang Xueying, seeing that she had no room to escape, burned her inner energy and made her poisonous kite escape through her own skin.

She ate all sorts of poisons, and her poison, which changed her skin tone, poisoned even those who had poison resistance items.

In the first place, the place we are fighting right now is a poison zone where even breathing is poisonous.

Jin Soo-ah, who judged that if she pushed it any further, would become addicted to an incurable level, ordered her to hurriedly avoid it.

Dang Seol-young, who was looking for an opportunity, skillfully hid her presence among the dense trees because she was familiar with the geography of the area.

“It’s amazing! You look the same age as me, but this poison!”
“Hey, this is no time to admire.”
“Right. Like you said, they’re about the same age, but they emit this kind of poison? As time goes by, you won’t even be able to approach them with tolerable magic items. You must catch them here.”

The members of the Legion of Guardians who accompanied her warned her that this was nothing to be admired.

“If you set your mind to it in the first place, you can make scars. Why are you so passive in fighting?”

Jin Soo-ah went through several fights in the Guardian Corps and quickly became stronger.

As if someone who doesn’t know sees her, she’s not getting stronger, she’s getting her strength back.

“It’s no fun.”
“What?”
“What’s the point in catching prey that others have exhausted?”

Dang Seol-yeong had exhausted her stamina even before the Guardian Corps attacked.

It was Jin Soo-ah’s mind that if she was going to fight, she wanted to fight after recovering her stamina.

“You! How are you?”

A member of the Guardian Corps, who was about to say something to Jin Soo-ah, felt something and pulled out her weapon in one direction toward her.

“Hey~ Are you meeting your business partners here?”

After a while, a group of people dressed in disproportionate clothing appeared from the other side.

Their leader, a middle-aged man with a laid-back face, spread his palms at his shoulder level as if he had no intention of fighting.

“Don’t come any closer.”
“Even though we look like this, we’re far from doing anything illegal? Besides, if you’re in a place like this, you’re like business partners, right? We’re here to exchange information.”

The middle-aged man smiled and took a step back.

He didn’t seem to really want to fight, neither did his men carry weapons.

“Did you hear that one of our kids was fighting this side?
“The alien has gone over there.”
“Hey! Wait! Why are you saying that!”

Jin Su-ah, who wanted Tang Seol-yeong to fight after he rested, screamed at her comrade’s actions.

The middle-aged man, who thought it was a lie, felt the truth in Jin Soo-ah’s actions.

“Hey~ You’re a strategist too~ We will use it to consume the target’s health and then take it away, right?”
“Think wildly.”
“Well, first of all, thank you for the information. But if you’re going to throw it back, I don’t think this side will be taken lightly, so be prepared.”

At that time, a middle-aged man approached and whispered something.

The middle-aged man nodded his head and gestured to his men, and as if they had a lot of experience in fighting in a dense forest, they moved in a formation that complemented each other while forming a wide range.

“Isn’t that guy Harald the bounty hunter?”
“Ttsk. A troublesome guy stuck.”
“Hey! Don’t explain what only you guys know!”
“He’s a famous bounty hunter in the East Continent! It’s okay!”
“What if I tell the target to such an opponent!”
“Oh really!”

Those who came with Jin Soo-ah lost their temper at her insistence.

Those who didn’t want to come with her because of her temperament, who has the aspect of a battle fanatic who enjoys fighting the strong, eventually exploded in irritation.
