I am the Monarch

------------------------------------

Postkane is the largest lake on the continent.

Not only was the horizon visible, but the waves were rough when the wind was strong.

Ever since I was a kid, a dive born and raised in Per Village has followed my fisherman's father into Lake Foucane like a room in my house.

He has been building one dream since childhood, watching the horizon unfold endlessly.

"Someday I'll roam around that vast lake of Porsche! ’

But even after I became a young man, my dream remained only as a dream.

‘Money and soldiers. You need a boat that won't break even if you meet monsters, and a soldier who can fight monsters. ’

Then, two months ago, my father died.

What's left is an old, shabby fishing boat and some property.

The dive plundered his possessions, repairing and renovating the fishing boats.

Thanks to this, it is now a blurry ship even though it is called a fishing boat.

‘But it's not enough. ’

The ship he imagined was a completely different shape than it had ever been.

I needed a lot more money

‘One day...'

As I was suppressing my dreams in my mind, I found Roan wandering around the docks, streets, and markets looking for a boat.

"If you take me to Porter's territory, I'll get you a hefty sum." ’

Quite a tempting story.

Much better than catching fish on the shore.

It was a crazy thing to risk your life for others, but it was an opportunity for you to realize your dream.

Moreover, he had a way to get to Porter territory.

‘You don't have to cross Lake Porsche. ’

After he finished his thought, he went to see Roan.

“Hey, Porter's territory. Do you mind if I do that? ”

* * *

"That's unusual."

Roan smiles strangely at the boat he's on.

< Lake Plantech. >

The dive's boat looks and feels a little different than anything I've ever seen.

Somehow I feel like I'm floating. ’

Fortunately, the oncoming crew seems to be quite adept.

Then the dive approaches and asks with a strong voice.

“Just get me to Porter's territory, right? ”

“Yes, the sooner we get there, the better. ”

The reason that Roan chose the boat path was not only to take control of Lake Foucane before anyone else.

‘The Battle of Slan has slowed us down a bit. ’

Thanks to you, the time to arrive at Porter's territory is slower than planned.

‘If we go through the tracks, we may not be able to get there before the accident in Porter territory. ’

To get to Porter territory by road, I had to circle around in the shape of an arc.

By comparison, moving through Lake Porsche would have reduced time by at least ten days, rather than by road.

He didn't have much time.

Then you hear the voice of the dive.

“I'm going to follow the lake to Porter territory. ”

“Ah.......”

Roan bursts into low elasticity.

‘There was a reason to be confident. But.......’

The shortest way from Per Village to Porter territory is across Lake Porsche.

However, this method was very dangerous.

Because the farther away from the lake, the more powerful the monsters were.

On the other hand, the way around the lake was safe from monster attacks, but there was a disadvantage that it was difficult to navigate.

‘If you are not as skilled as you are because the water is shallow and the curvature of the lake is severe, you are most likely stranded. ’

Roan looks directly into the dive's eyes.

‘But a sailor who's been on a boat for only a month chooses to sail on a beach? ’

Unbelievable work.

Roan openly revealed his insides.

“It's only been a month since you've driven a boat, can you do that? ”

The dive shakes its head, smiling.

“It's been a month since I've driven a boat myself, but it's been a decade. ”

He looks directly into Roan's eyes.

“And just because you have a short career doesn't mean you're incompetent. ”

Confident voice.

“Besides, I have a weapon in my spleen. ”

“Weapon of the spleen? ”

When Roan asked, Dive smiled and pointed to the Lake Plantec.

“He's not like the others. ”

“Ah.......”

Roan bursts a low elasticity.

‘Somehow I thought my boat was floating, but something was different. ’

At that moment, the dive turns its head to look at the crew.

“Here! You're all set! ”

“Yes, Captain! You're all set! ”

The crew shouts in one voice.

Dive stands on the deck and stares at Fer Village once before raising his right hand.

“The Plantek! Set sail!”

“Set sail!"

A resounding voice.

At the same time, the old fishing boat begins to move with the sound of twisting wood.

Whew.

Then there was a warm westerly breeze.

The wind keeps hitting the sail.

Flutter!

The sail rises with its belly out.

Aaaaah.

The Plantek begins to move south, cutting through the currents.

* * *

Roan stands at the forefront and stares at Lake Porsche.

‘Dive.’

He gathered information about the dive during the voyage.

‘From the year I turned ten, I began to sail with my father. ’

My head was clever and my body flew away, so I did the part of an adult.

‘The problem is that the idea is rather unusual. ’

Once I rode out on the boat, the one who boasted an enormous amount of fish started having strange dreams about his head from the beginning.

‘That is the crossroads of Lake Porsche. ’

The dive began to take action as his father died leaving behind a fishing boat.

Fixing all the fishing boats.

I couldn't get very far from the lake right now, so I decided to take a detour around Lake Foucane along the shore.

Thanks to this, the Planetech has become an extraordinarily shallow ship that flows into the flat bottom.

‘After all, the crew acknowledges his genius. ’

Roan smiles faintly.

‘Distribution of courage and dreams of not fearing Lake Porsche and not even thinking about others. If you can even excel at it.......’

It will help you take control of Lake Porsche as planned.

Roan continues to look at the dive with interesting eyes.

* * *

‘Fantastic.’

Roan was deeply impressed.

He's standing on the line staring at the diver and the crew.

“Grab the sail line! ”

“Don't push east! It's dangerous to stay away from the lawyers! ”

“Don't let the watchman down! ”

The dive was definitely no ordinary sailor.

Adequate command and unmanned command skills were great once they boarded the ship.

I had good eyes for reading the currents and I was excellent at using the wind.

‘The crew was right. Dives are genius.'

Even Roan, who doesn't know his stomach well, could feel it for sure.

If it weren't for the dive, the ship would have already capsized or stranded.

‘Porter territory is already near. ’

There were several crises while moving along the lake.

There was a time when a sudden gust of wind almost turned the boat upside down, and there was a time when it was nearly stranded on an underwater reef.

However, the dive managed to overcome the crisis with a momentary base and response.

Above all, ship performance.

From the looks of it, it was a shabby, old fishing boat, but the divers converted it to be much more powerful than I expected.

In particular, it was very easy to open and fold the sail, so it was able to respond agile to the direction of the wind and the century.

‘Why didn't this talent stand out? ’

In my past life, I've never had talent like this for the Navy.

After a moment of deliberation, Roan shakes his head.

‘With that personality, it is likely that he challenged Lake Porsche early and then screamed. ’

He bit his lower lip tightly.

‘In this life, I will drag you to the end. If he is able to develop his abilities without dying early, he is looking forward to how far he will grow. ’

Then you hear the watchman scream.

“I see Porter territory! ”

Roan and Dive have finally arrived at Porter territory.

“How was it?”

Dive approaches Roan and asks.

Roan nods, smiling faintly.

“You were much more skilled than I expected. ”

Dive smiles silently.

Roan gives you a big bag of money.

When he boarded the boat, he had already paid a tremendous wage.

‘But what is this money bag? ’

Dive looks at Roan with a curious look.

Roan reads the tone and smiles faintly.

“It's a donation.”

“A donation?”

Dive still has a curious look on his face.

Roan's words continue.

“Yes, Mr. Dive, I want to support you. ”

“To a sailor like me? Why do you do that......? ”

Roan answered without hesitation.

“The reason I want to sponsor...”

He pauses and smiles.

“There is a future at Lake Porsche. ”

“The future......? ”

Dive frowns without understanding.

Roan adds.

“The country that controls Lake Porsche will be ranked the head of one of these four countries. ”

My voice went out of my mind.

“There's going to be a huge expansion of merchandising rights using Lake Porsche in no time at all, with huge supplies going up and down the coast around four countries. At that time, if anyone rules Lake Porsche.......”

“That could be a lot of tolls. No, that's not it? We can't launch the ship without permission. ”

Dive takes over the back and opens his mouth again.

“But what if I hit Roan in the back? What if you get sponsored and later act like you don't know? ”

Somewhat provocative question.

However, Roan's expression remained unchanged.

“Well, I'll have to think about that then. If you think about things like that…..”

The tail of my mouth went up gently.

“I can't do anything. ”

Roan had a lot of work to do.

There were lots of plans.

If I became obsessed with failing too much, it was likely that things to do one by one would become too late or impossible to do.

‘It is better to do things at the same time with the possibility of failure in mind. ’

It doesn't matter if the dive fails or betrays.

It is impossible for a dive to traverse and dominate Lake Foucane on its own.

Roan plans to continue looking for sailors like dives to support and form a large group.

‘This is just the first step. ’

His eyes sank calmly.

‘We're going to need a lot of money. ’

My head was swiftly swinging.

After executing one plan, the next one was pushed forward.

Then you hear the voice of the dive.

“That's a good point. You can't do anything if you're worried about Premier. ”

He smiled faintly and said.

Meanwhile, the Plantek arrives at a small fishing pond Tig village in Porter territory.

Both from the north and from the south, the western wind blew through the hair in one knot.

* * *

Even though the end of spring and early summer were near, the weather was too hot for that.

Azrang blooms on the well-stretched road.

“Oh, it's hot. ”

“Right? Hot, isn't it? ”

People gathered and chatted under the shade of the tree next to the road.

They grind their hands restlessly.

At that time, their gaze turned to the end.

“Looks like he's not hot after all. ”

“I'm not sweating a drop. ”

“Is it because you're young? ”

At the end of the road, a young man was walking uphill.

A sturdy figure and tousled head that can't be hidden even when covered in clothes.

The identity of the young man who was full of wild charm was that of Roan.

After separating from the dive in Tig Village, he strolls south without rest and walks again.

‘If it wasn't for Brandt's ring, I'd be in heat, too. ’

He rubs his finger on the ring of Brant and exhales for a long time.

Roan maintains a moderate temperature in the heat that seems to have been stabbed by the ring.

“Hey! Young man! It's hot. Take a break. Go! Have a glass of water and go! ”

Those resting in the shade gesture toward Roan.

Roan shakes his head as he makes his way toward them.

“We still have a long way to go, so we have to work hard. ”

The middle-aged man in Maburiko asked.

“Where are you going? ”

Roan points south.

“We go all the way to Mt. Michael. ”

“Hmm.”

At that moment, people look into each other's eyes and shake their heads.

The middle-aged man breathed for a long time.

“Hoo. If it's not important, don't go near Mt. Miel for a while." ”

At that, Roan frowns.

“What happened? ”

“Sure. You know what? There is.”

The middle-aged man nodded and whispered in a small voice.

“Strange things are happening in Mt. Miel these days. All the mountain beasts are coming down the mountain, all the bugs are crying like crazy, and even the birds have been hiding their tracks lately. ”

“I see.”

Roan's expression became serious.

“So you'd better stay away from Mt. Michael for a while. ”

The middle-aged man in Maburiko looked genuinely worried.

Roan bows slightly.

“Thank you for your concern. ”

He made a somewhat alarming face with the people.

But the inner self was somewhat urgent.

‘I see signs that it's already begun. ’

Roan looks south.

‘I have to hurry. ’
