Dragon Poor

I wonder what this makes me nervous. Kim Sun-hyuk swallowed dry water without even knowing it.

“Drake Knight received Gradus 89. ”

The answer I heard about Tum for a moment was that he couldn't feel a thing. Though the number 89 seemed low, he couldn't see that it was as low as a hundred when the number of people with Gradus was no more. Eventually, he became curious and asked.

“What happens to Lord Asha Trail and Grand Duke Reinhardt of Gradus? ”

Harold Tyrone, who must have told you about Gradus to get his attention, argues with a single smile as he opens his mouth.

“Lord Asha Trail received Gradus 46, Earl Reinhardt received Gradus 4. ”

Assa Trail, which had never won a leadership match, was a swordsmanship genius. It was even more ridiculous that there were 45 knights stronger than her. Even the Assha Trail was unmatched in strength, and even the Marquis of Lanehart had only four grades. Kim Sun-hyuk got tired of saying that there were more than three monsters.

“Actually, the first thing Drake Knight received was Gradus 99. But the sword of lightning, which had received Gradus at the foot of the stairs, won the duel again, won Gradus 90, and rose to Gradus of Drake Knight, who had broken the sword of lightning naturally. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk almost burst out of laughter without me knowing. The harder you win the duel, the more likely Ryden Leyrak becomes to raise his arch-enemies. I kept thinking about how unfair and divided I was, and laughed.

“If you'd like, we can get you a magazine from Gradus last month. ”

Kim Sun-hyuk became embarrassed because he showed too much interest.

“But if that magazine is supposed to be in the Lord's archives, what is it? It won't be hard, but we'll have to seek the Lord's permission...”

Kim Sun-hyuk smiled at the words that appeared in his heart.

“Never mind. Now that I know my Gradus is 89, I'm happy with that. ”

Perhaps as a curious knight, he thought he would not be able to resist the curiosity of who was above him.

However, Sun-hyuk Kim was not an ordinary knight, but a man of a relaxed nature who had no curiosity. It was just enough to be satisfied that his name was placed between the warlords and the wizards of the kingdom. He refused the cunning apprentice's offer to go underground.

“Aren't you curious? ”

“Well, now I'm more hungry than curious. If you're done with business, I hope you'll start dining with the group. ”

Harold Tyrone, who did not give up and recommended several more times, shut up.

“If you need anything, please let me know. I will gladly be your hands and feet. ”

“I'll take it from here. ”

In response to Kim Sun-hyuk's cold answer, Harold Tyrone left the inn with a sad face.

“Well done. The Lord of Lugenburg is in charge of the aristocratic fund-raising. I had no reason to have a position with such a man, only to fly into the eyes of the royal family. Very well done. ”

“No. I was more hungry than that. ”

He grumbles and calls the waiter to order some food, as if proving to him that his words were not empty.

Eighty-eight on top of me in Adenburg alone.

Kim Sun-hyuk, who was making fun of his hands for a long time, suddenly remembered Gradus and laughed.

I'm glad there's so many people to climb up to.

Even the Assha Trail wasn't confident that it would win yet, but if it became as strong as it is now, it will eventually be able to surpass them.

“My lord, if you don't want that, I...”

Hansen, who had cleared out my plate, reached out while I was thinking. He slowly grabbed my plate and began to focus on eating again.

* *

The next day, Jonathan and Hansen left to question the survivors of the last shipwreck. Kim Sun-hyuk decided to protect his home because he was worried that he might get caught up in another dispute due to the crowded ruggenburg territory.

“Don't you think it's a breakthrough that we call Gradus? The lowly will strive to surpass the high, and the uppermost will desperately polish their swords to keep their place. Those who haven't even received it are sure to give up their temper and last name in order to make a name, so it's really beneficial for everyone. ”

All I had to do was listen to Jackson talk.

“I was surprised that Gradus of Ryden Leyrak, who lost only once in a duel, was lower than I expected. ”

It was vague whether he or Ryden Leyrak's reputation as a referee meant that he had received only 90 grades in the royal province and that he or she was as strong as the kingdom.

“Leyrak's reputation precedes him because he won over the top knights as senior knight. In fact, not many of the knights who have turned into surrogates for the nobles' duel have changed. Of course, that doesn't mean that Ryden Leyrak is a poor knight, but there are many more powerful men in the kingdom. ”

“I'd like to take a look at that magazine. ”

Jackson showed tremendous interest in Gradus, whereas Julian was relatively troubled. As long as it is reliable and reliable, it is a sequence created by the luxurious people, he placed a flag saying what it means.

Jackson's jabbering excitedly is silent with an insecure face.

Jonathan and Hansen, who were just leaving, returned. There was a man with dark skin beside them who had returned like that.

“My lord, the survivor of the accident I told you about. ”

“You found it earlier than I expected. ”

After less than a day, the completion of the search for survivors was astonishing.

“Balboa, the humble sailor, greets the precious. ”

A man named Balboa bows his head in a clumsy manner.

“Let me ask you a question. Can you tell me more about the accident? ”

In Kim Sun-hyuk's question, Balboa immediately started stammering about his accident.

“The sea was calm that day for some reason. There was no irritating waves hitting the boat, no seagulls running after the debris on the deck. It was a lot of weird stuff to think about. ”

After being so fortunate, Balboa shuts up for a moment and continues to talk about Tum.

“At the time, it was just a good day to sail, and everyone seemed to like it better. I thought I could get out of the Southern Seas faster than I expected. But that's when it happened. ”

“Go on.”

A sudden horror struck Balboa's eyes. Even after all these years, a robust man dropped his feet just to think about it again.

“The first thing that happened was a flagship. As if the flagship had hit the reef from the front, the course turned unnaturally. Until then, we thought, maybe we just bumped into something invisible. But then the ship started to tilt off course very quickly. The convoy approached and tried to rescue it, but even the convoy looked like a flagship. ”

Balboa glares brightly at the sailors who put their necks on a leaning boat and asked for rescue.

“The captain realized there was something under the sea and instead of putting himself at risk, he decided to save my ship. The crew grumbled at the captain, but all they had to do was watch their colleagues being sucked into the monster's nostrils. ”

However, the captain, who was in command of the surviving ships, immediately noticed a strange sighting and did not allow the rescue operation to take place.

“About a third of the flagships and escorts locked down, he showed up. ”

His eyes tremble with anxiety, mixed with hatred and fear.

“The trunk as thick as the main mast was like that of a snake, and it was horrible. He swooped down with a sinking flagship and swallowed the screaming crew. ”

The word snake made Kim Sun-hyuk's eyes flash.

“What exactly did he look like? ”

“Ugh. He had an enormous jaw and a hideously shiny scale that swallowed two or three strong sailors at a time. The torso was big enough to be wrapped around at least one small merchant ship. People didn't believe it, but it was definitely a sea dragon. The vortex that appeared when the ship sank was the same as the hunting ground of the so-called Seed Suspense. ”

The description followed without haste, but that alone was sufficient to convince the existence of Mr. Sufent. Even in a world where monsters of all varieties could fly, I didn't think there would be such a big snake-shaped monster that could bend an entire merchant ship.

“Where did that come from? ”

His question changed Balboa's eyes. Suddenly, Eagle Eagle's eyes, which had been shaking anxiously, began to burn.

“I can show you where I am. ”

Despite the horrific accident, Balboa had no hope of using it as a guide station. However, unlike expected, Balboa gladly went out to guide him.

“Just get me a boat. I will definitely look for him. ”

“That Balboa guy, that's a little weird. ”

Even if it wasn't what Jonathan said, Kim Sun-hyuk also felt the attitude of Balboa was not very subtle. His dementia and occasionally changing gaze were not normal.

“Let's question the other survivors. I'll think about him later. ”

The next day, Jonathan and Hansen return to their dark faces. The survivors were no longer able to see where they were hiding, and even the ones they had only found would never return to the sea again.

“Birch, think again. He's not normal. ”

“There is no way. If we hire reliable people to keep him from doing anything stupid, we can avoid the worst. ”

After much deliberation, Kim Sun-hyuk decided to sail by hiring reliable captains and sailors from the union. That way, he and his companions head out to sea. We have a problem.

“I can't go out to sea with a cursed man like that. ”

“I'll return the advance. I'm so sorry."

The only rescued captains and sailors refused to join Balboa. Because of this, Kim Sun-hyuk, who had been canceled in a row, was unable to soak his feet even after placing the sea with seed suspension in front of his nose.

“This is crazy. There's no one to guide me when I leave, no one to lend me a boat when I go with." ”

He frowns and scowls at Balboa, but he insists on guiding him. In the end, Kim Sun-hyuk, who couldn't find another way, had to search for the ship through someone other than the combination.

“My lord, these are pirates. If we eat our hearts out in the ocean of observation, we will be beaten without any help. ”

It couldn't have been normal to find the back like that. Jonason and Julian expressed concern, but Kim Sun-hyuk did not hesitate this time. It was too bad to leave the Sea Dragon two days behind.

“If you don't want to, you can wait here. I don't want to put anyone else in danger because of my personal business. ”

Why are you stubborn all by yourself? I only heard nagging after talking like that. Julian is furious that it's enough to send his master to a dangerous place alone, and Hansen and Jonason vote bitterly, "What do you see in a man's loyalty?" Jackson didn't show much grief either, but he didn't seem to have any intention of staying on land.

“From the moment you enter the boat, don't lose tension. Drinking water and food are never given to the crew. Especially Hansen. Don't take the Flounder for granted. ”

Hansen nods at Jonason's instructions with a ballstent face.

“Welcome to our ‘Wrongdoer’ issue. My Lord.”

The captain of the Illegal Ho, who smells like booze in his eyes, greets the group with an exaggerated gesture.

“Then I'll be on my way. We'll do our best to make sure you have a great trip. ”

There are too many men with scars on their bodies to be called sailors. Some of them looked at Julian with very wicked eyes, but it seemed to be a quiet voyage.

“Balboa. Whatever you're thinking, if you guide me well, I won't question your sins. ”

“I mean this. No matter what happens, I will take you there. ”

Even though Balboa's appearance was ominous, Kim Sun-hyuk tried to ignore it. I just hoped the worst wouldn't happen.

But anticipation always comes down to the worst. That was his case right now.
