BLACK MOON - Black Magic War Beginning with Jailbreak - [Full story illustration available]

So much less, Misericordia entered the port of Brace River. If you look around, as far as you can see, a ship in a row. That's a port where ships come together from all over the world.

What you see in this port, where people from all over the world gather, is a wide variety of races. This is the city of trade. It is natural to have people with different skin colors, some of them beastmen.

It's a very free city. The Brace River was a port where hope could be felt, unlike the storm-closed Riorg.

A vibrant city, just watching the smiles of the people going out, makes me happy this way. This was a bright place, unthinkable in Riorg, where all the inhabitants were filled with dark feelings.

In the past, even Riorg might have all laughed like this. But that's the past. The people of Riorg today are filled with dark feelings. It's good to be here. Joe and Raven thought so wholeheartedly.

"We're so glad you came here."

"Ah. I'm sure nothing would have changed if I stayed in Riorg like that"

The two of them were biting the joy. There are still plenty of people left in Riorg who are trapped in the storm. In the meantime, I was lucky to get out of there in and of itself.

If the storm doesn't end like this...

If that happens, the port town of Riorg will undoubtedly decline. A ship cannot come in from another country, and residents cannot leave that town easily. Unless the Limian government punches something in the hand and finds a way to save Riorg.

"Thank you for your sailing trip. I was struck by an unlikely event along the way, but I was able to reach my destination safely"

As Joe was thinking, Lambert called out.

"Good luck"

Joe and Raven spoke up. Any further words, even uttering, were hesitant. It seemed like an interesting experience for Joe, but he himself understood that it was a terrible event for the people around him.

"Look, it's an Adford line ticket. There are many trains out of Bres River Station. Next on the sea is the railway. Your journey's not over yet."

Lambert immediately offered two tickets.

"Thank you!

Raven received two tickets. There it was marked “Adford Line 3, Brace River Station, State Railroad, Kingdom of Sertoria”.

Say goodbye to Captain Lambert and the Misericordia at this. With remorse, the two head to the Sertrian State Railway Brace River Station. On that road, even if you don't like it, the look of the lively sailors pops into the eyes of the two of you. They are sailors who have crossed many waters around the world.

Observing that face, they are all full of vibrancy. Speaking up, it also seemed like they would let me stay on the boat. Thomas is right, you might easily find a job here. Had it been Raven until he left Riorg, he would have left President Nelson and Captain Anderson unfavourable and searched for a ship to board at Brace River.

But what happened on Misericordia's deck changed his feelings a lot. For him, it was the first horrible experience so far. Let's not go out to sea for a while. The encounter with the captain of the ghost ship kept Raven away from the sea.

The Bres River Station had a sense of diversity in its appearance. Instead of being grouped into one style, the station buildings were built in a combination of different styles from around the world. Every time you shift your gaze, you get a glimpse of different architectural styles. Not only the exterior, but even the interior. Exactly, you just said a trade city. The building also showed an attitude of embracing diversity.

"Line 3, Line 3..."

Raven twinkles, aiming to home the train on Adford row. To Raven with a ticket, Joe just follows. Getting to the home on line 3 Adford row wasn't that hard.

Eight pairs of trains are coming in on line 3 home, burning smoke. That too, along with a tremendous roar. Joe and Raven, who have been spending all this time by the sea. This was the first time I had seen the train.

Two people who have been spending all this time in a small port town. In the wider world, there's still a lot we don't know. The two stare at the train that stopped at the platform with their mouths open.

"BRETH RIVER, BRETH RIVER. Train on line 3 Adford departs at 17: 23."

Not long ago, such an announcement of the conductor flowed. When one passenger in the car comes out of the street, the surrounding people move toward the car simultaneously. We still have time to leave, but both of us leave ourselves to the stream to get on the train.

When I entered the car, I was able to confirm that a small room with no walls was lined up in two rows. That's about the seats on the train, but it felt that way for the two of us: between rooms with no walls, lined up all the way in two rows, with one aisle.

The two sit back in empty seats just like them, observing the people around them. Joe and Raven sat across the street.

"Adford row, let's go!

Ten minutes later, the conductor screamed. Everything that comes into my eyes, but it's fresh in my two eyes. Such felt to them as if little time had elapsed before they left.

The train moves slowly.

Eventually, the view from the window shifted dramatically and Joe and Raven were never bored. One landscape after another that I've never even seen. Too much information, my head was going to crack.

I need to get back to Riorg sometime and see if the storm is over. If it's not over, with the money you're going to make in Adford, help people out a little bit. That's what I thought, Joe, but in front of the incredible exotic scenery that popped in one after the other, that was driving me to a corner of my head.

Until they arrived at Adford, only a few words were exchanged between them. Words were unnecessary to enjoy the brand new scenery.

From Brace River to Adford, it actually took about 5 hours, but the two didn't feel much time. For them, this railroad journey only felt like about an hour. A series of new experiences, I guess it was a lot of fun for them.

Waiting for two people to get off the train was Adford, a pioneering land. Adford, in the western part of the Kingdom of Sertria, sometimes had a harsh Amnis desert ahead of it, which lagged behind the rest of Sertria.

At Adford around this time, the mining industry was showing a boom. Since it was discovered that gems and many other minerals could be mined in large quantities, Adford people have been packing through red walls (walls) day and night.

People who asked for money gathered out of its surroundings, not just Adford, and the area around Red Wall was in extreme turmoil.

Several mining companies were therefore set up to bring order to mining. Since the establishment of the company, unauthorized people were forbidden to enter the Red Wall district, and disruption in the surrounding area gradually converged.

At the time, Red Wall was asleep with treasures that could not be dug up. The more you dig, the crunchier the treasure comes out. That was just a dream business. The company that turned mining into a business was generating huge profits.

The Burton Mining Company, which had endless possibilities for the mining industry, would be looking for additional manpower. So President Burton contacted President Nelson, whom he knew. This is how Joe and Raven were given the job of coal miner.

Joe and Raven had their lives as coal miners awaiting them from the day after they arrived in Adford. Get up at a set time each day, change into work clothes and head to the Red Wall. To work in a coal mine, it was a helmet with lights and much more a necessity.

Go to the Red Wall Coal Mine on the day you come and the day you come, and dig where the Coal Miner instructs you. That's just it, a ton of treasure was dug up. Mining is hard work. From morning to evening, we must wave full strength. I have to dig through the hard walls every day.

There, his experience as two sailors was harnessed. Work on board was equally strenuous. That happened, and this job didn't get that bitter for the two of us, but they were gradually starting to get disgusted at the cramped scene. The scene surrounded by red walls on all sides is very oppressive. And a view that doesn't change every day. That was the big difference from fishing.

Every day, the ocean shows a different face, but the coal mine can only be dug forward, and it is largely irreplaceable. It was only in the beginning that everything was fascinated by two new scenery, but it was also now beginning to turn into pain. The only thing that healed each other was having our best friends beside us.

"Hey Joe. You're not having fun with this job."

Raven said that as he looked up into the night sky, two talking about one room in the Burton Mining Company dorm.

"Right, Raven. But I think it's a much more privileged environment than living in a cursed Riorg."

"Sure. Even if I stayed there, I would have cut my savings off little by little... but I still think I should have found a job in Brace River..."

Raven looks like he wants to spit out his dissatisfaction with working at the Red Wall coal mine anyway.

"Raven. Did you forget? The sea is dangerous."

………

This word meant a lot to Raven. That's all we can do to awaken Raven's memories that he wanted to forget. All he has to do is hear these words and think of that alien captain's face.

"Whatever. Let's thank you for being able to work like this now. Speaking of which, Raven, did you get paid yet? I don't know how it works..."

Joe changed the subject. The Burton Mining Company did not take the form of a flat-rate salary, but adopted a turnover salary form that redeemed some of the minerals it mined for itself.

"Oh. I've come all the way here to redeem. Just get the town jewelers to redeem what they picked."

Raven had already been rewarded. Burton Mining Company is Adford's most dynamic company around this time. Employees also had mechanisms in place that would yield significant benefits. Of course, the prescribed amount of the harvest must be paid to the company, otherwise it will be its own assets.

Gems can also be an important asset, but gems cannot be used to pay for them in their normal lives. Coal miners working for the Burton Mining Company had redeemed most of the treasures they had collected.

"Yeah...... but I still don't know. Sure, that jeweler's gonna change the amount of money you get, right?

Joe wasn't as interested in monetary terms as Raven.

"Exactly. Some of them come after me, some offer a reasonable price. If you don't know, I'll take you next time."

Raven had already gone through the town's jewelers to identify the best stores. The man who dreams of millionaires is different. Raven was already part of the town of Adford while Joe lived every day unchanged.

"I'm comfortable with you doing that"

Joe was interested in Raven. The boulder is Raven.

After a few days, Joe was being taken by Raven to visit the town's shopping district. Around the corner was a raven inked amand jeweler.

Raven had visited the jeweler frequently, but had not yet visited the jeweler once, Joe held the jewels he had accumulated in a large bag.

Diving through Amando Jeweler's warm curtains, there was a beautiful counter waiting inside. The gemstone redemption table was stretched out on one side of the perimeter and there was a gemstone dealer Amando in the back.

"Ooh! This is it. Mr. Gopher. He seems to have a lot of heavy stuff."

"Yeah, yes. Yes, it is. I'm with the Burton Mining Company, and I wanted to redeem this."

That's what Joe said, putting a big bag on Amand's current table. It sounded very zushiri heavy.

"You've saved up a lot. It would have been hard for one person to come here. You should come sooner next time."

Amand checked the contents of the bag to relax his licence. Amand immediately surrounds himself behind the counter, making charin charin and money sound.

"Dear Sir, the jewel you brought, at least 1.2 million pounds."

Amand brought it with him with a big, swollen bag, just like Joe brought it. It had so much weight that it was likely to hear the sound of Zuchin.

"Huh? So much ⁉"

Joe was purely surprised. I'm not doing a big job. Because that's what I was aware of. Still, after only working there for a month, I didn't expect to get this much money. (Pongo feels the same as a circle)

"Welcome to the world of coal miners"

Raven, watching it, said so with a full grin.

From then on, as before, the two people who continued to go to coal mines were making money very well. The only problem is that the charcoal pitcher's routine is really irreplaceable.

One day, this conversation popped into Raven's ear.

"Oh, my God, why do you have to dig with chipmunks like this!

One of the coal miners is complaining about bumps while digging inside the Red Wall.

"Right! Don't do it! More like this, can't we do something dokan!

"Come on, you can set up a bomb and do it with Dockern! Hey, Coal Miner!

"Say what! There's no bomb out there! I'm in charge of the crime scene. I have a duty to keep you safe. I can't let that happen!

"I don't know!

To the most serious reply of the chief coal miners, the coal miners were again in bad shape.

If you're aware, Joe and Raven's life at Adford was also a few years old. Joe and Raven's room one day like that.

Raven had taken care of the requisite markings for the mining. There is also a barbed bomb nearby. When Red Wall was still untouched, bombs were also used a lot, but they haven't been used much since they could be called caves to some extent. The reason is simply, it's dangerous. In particular, current coal mine directors, whose safety comes first, would never allow the use of bombs.

Joe's desk, on the other hand, was stacked with tons of books. There are several pieces of paper pinched in all of them, and I can ask him how keen he is to study. One book in the mountain of books also had a book titled "To Protect Yourself from the Devil”. This is the book that Ruth, the old man I met inside Misericordia, had. Did you get it somewhere?

"Joe, what are you doing?

"Oh... I'm looking into the devil."

"Devil ⁉Why are you looking into that again?

The reply was unexpected for Raven. Why the hell are you looking into such a thing?

"You've seen it, too, ghost ship. Ever since that day, that thing's been keeping my head off. And an old man named Ruth I met in Misericordia. Everything was caught.“ The Endless Storm, "“ The Curse, "“ The Devil, "“ The Ghost Ship, "“ The Alien Captain. "I think it all has something to do with it.

Unraveling these relationships may help put an end to the storm in Riorg. I'd do anything for it. "

"Joe. You, you really shouldn't be thinking about that. We've been together forever. I can tell. You're not looking into the devil to save Riorg. For your own curiosity."

Raven knew what Joe was thinking. Raven forgot about what he said when he arrived at Adford, but I can remember it clearly now. Joe's face when he witnessed the alien captain.

"... right? I was trying to deny it myself. I felt somewhere behind me studying the devil. But it's true. A curiosity that wants to unravel the unknown moves my mind."

No one can stop Joe's curiosity. By this time, the word "black magician" (grigori), who uses magic with the help of the devil, had hardly penetrated the public.

"Well, isn't that good? If that's gonna save Riorg as a result, I'll never mind. Besides, it looks like you finally had a dream. Not what I want..."

Raven had complex emotions. I guess I should honestly be happy that Joe had a dream, but I can't do that. Joe stepped into the realm Raven most unwanted to be involved in.

"Yes, I had a dream. Solve the Devil's Mystery!

Behind Joe's eyes, a strong flame of determination was shaking. This determination may never have been the right one. Whatever it is, it is true that the world has changed dramatically in the moment of Joe's encounter with the alien captain and the confirmation of his dreams at this time.

"What the hell is going on?"

I heard a loud noise from outside the room as Joe and Raven were talking. That was the voice of the coal miners working with the two of them. Apparently, something's going on.

The two open the door just a little, make sure they peek and ask what's going on outside.

"What's going on?

It was the coal mine manager who spoke to the noisy coal miners.

"When I went to the jeweler earlier, the jewels didn't make any money at all."

One of the coal miners explains the situation in a disturbed manner. With one of his words, the neighborhood was getting more noisy.

"What ⁉⁉Is it not a mistake of some kind?

"I won other jewelers too, but it didn't make me worth it anywhere!

"...... that can't happen. What the hell is wrong with you..."

The coal mine manager held his head. That was the first time since the establishment of the Burton Mining Company. If the jewels really aren't worth it, it's to say that the company is in danger of bankruptcy.

Then again, the income of the Burton Mining Company's coal miners fell dramatically. The noise was initially somewhat golden, but now the treasures that can be mined have become just as stone colors.

At the end of the day, the jeweler pays the front door. The motivation of the coal miners was also gradually shredded. No matter how hard you try, the reward is almost nil. This doesn't make sense to work. Will Joe and Raven lose their jobs again?

One day about a year after the first noise. Some coal miners had already left the company.

Still, without giving up, the coal miners head to the Red Wall today. However, that number had fallen dramatically since a year earlier. There was Joe in it. Raven said he was out of the dorm before Joe and had already reached the coal mine.

"I'm not gonna do it at all! I don't know what we're doing when there's no money in it!

When you get to the coal mine, one of the coal miners complains and starts digging the walls in a long way.

"Well said! You still think it's possible, you might find a jewel that's going to be gold."

"I'm sure all the way across this wall, those gems are asleep. What we can pick here is too much circulation to be worth it anymore. I'll get the jewels I'm waiting for!

That's what one coal miner said. That kind of his pocket was unnaturally swollen. If you look closely, both the front and back pockets are swollen. Apparently, there's something sticky in there.

"Hey Joe... why don't you go outside once? I can't breathe."

"Oh. I'll be stuck in here forever."

Joe responded to Raven's suggestion and decided to go outside the coal mine once. Almost no one in this coal mine works seriously now. It was never uncommon to breathe or skip.

The two are leaning through a coal mine cave and leaning against a wall near the entrance.

"Hey Raven. I've been wondering."

Joe took a breath and cut out so.

"What?"

"I'm talking about gems not being gold..."

Raven keeps an eye on Joe for what he says. Joe seems to be asking for Raven's reaction.

"It's crazy. Everyone says the jeweler didn't buy me the jewelry, but I can redeem it just like before. I don't care what you think."

"By chance, didn't you have expensive jewelry?

"No. That's not true. Raven, didn't you do something?

Joe was suspicious of Raven. He knew this was clearly not a normal situation. Look at him like that, Raven's eyes are swimming.

And a lot of time went by. It was as if they were sorting words out what to say in their heads.

The moment Raven opened his mouth.

Dockern

From somewhere, there was a tremendous roar and shock. The two men, leaning against the wall of the coal mine entrance, felt the shock on their skin, on their backs. The source of this roar and impact is inside the coal mine, no matter what you think.

Joe and Raven were taken aback, they didn't know what had happened and were often flabbergasted.

"No way......"

Joe, who immediately had a bad feeling, rushes into the coal mine.

"Stop it!"

Raven stopped him.

"Why? Something happened to everyone. Gotta go!"

"You're an idiot! What just happened is an explosion. That's pretty big too. It's too dangerous to get inside the coal mine right now!

Raven realized that what happened earlier was an explosion. It was not only possible to notice, but also to guess the magnitude of the explosion from the sounds heard. Having understood his words, Joe couldn't do anything and just had to stand still.

This is what coal mining looked like when mining was the most thriving, told from the mouth of the coal mine manager.
