Main Character Hides His Strength

84. Scarecrow King (1)

“There's another one out there. ”

A small golem moving inside the ship has stalled.

It's a common occurrence.

Fragments of the catastrophe were undoubtedly powerful substances.

It had the power to create all kinds of alchemical items by simply using them as materials, as well as to create the complete form of the alchemist's idea of the final item.

That's how all the small golems who run Sylphide now roam the ship were created. It's because golems aren't made exclusively by alchemy.

After crafting each part, you have to go through a process called production. Crafting is a unique ability of the Blacksmith class.

Ordinarily skilled warriors chose to manage their weapons with a lower blacksmith class as a subclass, but Kim Sung-cheol did not use weapons that did not require special care such as Crumbui and Arm Garaz.

That's why it seemed impossible to make golems. The fragments of the mysterious power of the disaster allowed us to omit the process and create the golems themselves.

However, small golems often caused small problems, whether that was the case. It was mostly minor problems with my arms not moving or stopping suddenly, but the frequency was so high that I helped to ruin Kim Sung-cheol's pleasant journey.

“Hmm."

Kim Sung-cheol tapped the arm of the small golem who stopped moving and slightly pulled out his shoulder.

Fluffy.

Something like iron powder fell off the ledge around the joint. It seemed that the foreign substances were causing the breakdown.

A small golem controlled by the former Mercit Carbunkle and Adra 5 turned its broken arm around and nodded in gratitude.

Bertelkia strokes the head of a small golem with the edge of a book and says as if he were an old man.

“Yes, yes. Good boy, my boy. ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol has nothing to say about this situation.

It is true that adra stones listen to Bertelgia's words more than Kim Sung-cheol's.

Only Bertelgia was responsible for the opening of the adra captured from Zaatos. It was only through the fog that Sung-cheol Kim brought Bertelgia to the world.

Anyway, Kim Sung-cheol, who finished repairing the broken golem, headed back to the bridge.

On the deck, the baron crouches like a cat, taking up space.

Aside from requiring a large amount of food, it is a valuable resource for Sylphide.

Baron can play a variety of roles, such as transporting sockets, small landings, and reconnaissance that tie them to the shipyard.

Kim Sung-cheol stroked the baron's neck, closing his eyes, and went inside the bridge.

There was a small golem controlled by Marrakia and the adra 1st Carbon on the bridge, which is the brain of the Gongzhong.

“Hehehe...”

Marrakia was engraving something with magical power on a Obsidian tablet, with an eerie smile on the corner of the bridge.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol ignored Marakia and approached Carbun, who was holding the controls on his behalf, and asked with a soft voice.

“How's it going, Carbon? ”

A small golem can't make a voice, but instead, he frowns at the eyes.

No problem with a few blinks! It was saying.

Kim Sung-cheol sat in the captain's seat behind the cockpit.

Acquiroa's state-of-the-art construction Procrustace was equipped with high-level capabilities that were not found in the latest installments of the Human Empire.

Even Kim Sung-cheol, who lived in the public sector for a long time, was mainly focused on command stones.

The moment Kim Sung-cheol sits in the command post, in front of him comes a colorful menu created with magical powers.

This allowed Sung-cheol Kim to know where the aircraft was located in the world, as well as the status of the major facilities in the aircraft, combat command, and now inactive, but was able to conduct long range communications and long range teleports through the wizard in real time.

‘The skill of the wealthy is remarkable. Gremlin is pushing technology to the nearest limit that it won't appear. ’

The more he learned about Sylphide, Kim Sung-cheol felt uneasy about how great Sylphide was.

Although its appearance was not much different from that of the Human Empire, it had unmatched performance in terms of navigation speed, stability, tranquility, maneuverability and durability to any of the Empire's standard ships, and, above all, its convenience was unhindered in its sophistication.

During the time of the imperial guard, Kim Sung-cheol thought Aquila's flagship was just a speedboat with a lot of money and only a beautiful appearance, but now he's the owner of the ship.

And the wealthy. Who are they? ’

Legend has it that the Floating Islands were the last refuge for the descendants of the great Ancients to hide from disasters.

In the past, Kim Sung-cheol would have accepted that word without a doubt, but now everything is doubtful when it comes to the truth of the world.

But the skills of the Floating Islands are real.

I can't help but admit Kim Sung-cheol.

According to Andrea, the Floating Islands are located at the western end of the world.

Although we don't know exactly where it is, Kim Sung-cheol expects the wealthy force to appear before him one day.

‘When we see each other again, we just smash them. ’

Kim Sung-cheol thought so and stared at the continent preaching in front of him.

Currently, Kim Sung-cheol's flagship Sylphide is advancing rapidly to the southwest.

The target is a coastal area called Illeboro, located at the southwestern tip of the continent.

Four of the 18 crowns that exist on the continent are the places where fortresses have evolved into kingdoms to date to prevent fishermen from rushing out of the early oceans of Ruthegium.

The number of crowns is still the closest to the Tower of Eunza in the street, so I naturally took this place as my first destination.

But Kim Sung-cheol knows.

The ruler of Illeboro is not a king wearing a crown, but a merchant without a crown.

Thirteen out of 13 continents.

Total number of guild merchants' guild, Horneko.

He is the governor of Aye, the most flexible trading city on the continent, and the pinnacle of all traders, he is the real ruler of Illeboro and the enemy of Kim Sung-cheol.

Kim Sung-cheol's curse list has the following curse:

List of Merchant Guild Blacklists (Unit: Merchant Guild and all subordinates cannot be traded)

The curse itself has no special power.

The curse of a declarative meaning to any extent similar to that of the sect.

Of course, it may be a curse more frightening than death for a merchant, but it is a curse meaningless to Kim Sung-cheol who has broken the rules of the world.

So Horneko has been tracking him for a long time with a huge bounty on Kim Sung-cheol's head and sending assassins from the Assassination Bridge.

It's because Kim Sung-cheol is the enemy of the world, but Kim Sung-cheol stole the vault of the League of Merchants called the Infinity Vault.

It was an unforgivable sin by the merchants of the League who value gold more than their lives.

Of course, there was also a good excuse for Kim Sung-cheol.

The League of Merchants has literally taken over the trade routes that the Rutheginian Empire had taken since the launch of the World Congress.

Probably the richest in the World Congress, given its purely monetary gain.

Not only did the World Congress oppose the ever-growing theme of disaster resolution, but it was the reality of the League of Commerce that isolated disaster resolution factions such as Kim Sung-cheol.

Kim Sung-cheol, who used to look at them badly, broke into the unlimited vault of the League of Merchants immediately after obtaining the Arm Karaz and wiped them out.

‘Please avoid encounters with the Merchant Guild. Quickly meet with the kings of the four smaller nations to announce the summons of the World Congress and leave this airspace. ’

The red icy Sylphide crosses the snowy mountain range and reaches the Illeboro airspace.

“Wow, that's fast and comfortable. If I'd known this, I would've saved the day on the ferry! ”

Bertelkia looks out the window and says in a excited voice.

In fact, the trip through the utility was more comfortable than any trip I have ever had.

Kim Sung-cheol waited for time to pass, leaning deeply against the comfy leather of the command stone.

‘In roughly three hours you will enter the airspace of the First Kingdom. ’

That way, you can see Bertelkia flying this way.

“Hey.”

“What's going on? Bertelkia.”

“When are we going to Ixion? ”

The slightly dark light caught Kim Sung-cheol's eyes, but he said in his usual voice, not out loud.

“I'll be there later. ”

“Hmm. I think we should arrive at that damn ixion by now. ”

“We don't know that. The sea is wide and the living are slow. Wouldn't it be better to go on a safer path than to fight the rubble? ”

“Even so! ”

Fortunately, Bertelgia did not doubt and accepted Kim Sung-cheol's words, but did not conceal his sad insides.

“But I've been working hard on alchemy this time. Is that it?" But to be honest, I thought you were going straight to Ixion! ”

Vertelgia is stuffed inside the bookshelf of Bertelgia's exclusive bed, a corner of the bridge, grumbling and grumbling.

The bookshelter that plucked Marakia's cotton wool and put it into it for comfort was a new haven for Bertelgia instead of Kim Sung-cheol's pockets.

Kim Sung-cheol sighed of shallow relief as he watched Bertelkia being plugged into the bookshelf.

‘I'm sorry, Bertelkia. ’

I could have set a course for Ixion.

But it was awkward.

What 55 left behind was a curse that made him hesitate.

Of course, there is no guarantee that what 55 said is true, but Kim Sung-cheol found it better to deal with the problem faced, the third disaster, than to test her words right now.

“Hey. Crusher. An uninvited guest appears.”

Marrakia wanders around the deck, focusing on her exercises, and enters the bridge.

A small golem with a view told me that something appeared overhead by tapping the soundpipe connected to the bridge.

Port side.

Kim Sung-cheol got up from the command post and went off the bridge.

Indeed, black dots were growing to the west.

“What's that? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked Marakia who had good vision.

Marrakia narrows her eyes, muttering as if she couldn't see well.

“Hmmm... I can't see very well because of the poor standby. If I had the essence of the Fire Spirit, I'd be able to see it better. ”

As Kim Sung-cheol stared at life in his eyes, Maraki immediately turned his eyes to his side and replied with a casual voice.

“Non-dragons. All four. Humans all aboard. ”

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol nodded, whispering.

‘The Knights of Illeboro. ’

Traveling in the air carries a risk of being spotted at all times.

Therefore, the aircraft of each country is flagged to allow them to identify their affiliation from afar.

However, there is no flag on Kim Sung-cheol's aircraft.

It's because Kim Sung-cheol didn't want to.

‘By the way, the Merchant Guild's knights will be a bit annoying. ’

Kim Sung-cheol raised his hand mirror and signaled towards the non-dragon knights.

There was no combat physician and the intention was to authorize boarding.

Later, the non-dragon knights received an answer using the same mirror.

The captain and factors were told to stand by on the deck as we boarded immediately.

However, there is only one person in Sylphide who is pure and meaningful.

Kim Sung-cheol curiously waited for two small golems to come this way with his left and right.

Soon, the distance will be narrowed enough to identify the non-dragon knights' affiliation.

Kim Sung-cheol sighed for relief as he saw the pattern on the knights' shield.

Although there were various patterns such as fish stuck in the skewers, lightning that cuts through the sea, and waves that hit the reef, it was because Kim Sung-cheol didn't have the most worrying patterns.

A triangle overlaid with three gold ingots.

The Trident which symbolizes the League of Merchants Guild can't be found at least here.

The story goes that all the strangers are knights of the four kings of Illeboro.

Soon, the non-dragon knights swivel around Sylphide, placing themselves on one or two decks.

“Sirururu.”

The baron takes a nap, feeling the shape of a non-dragon and smashes the eagle's head.

Boom.

The knights step down from the dragon one after the other.

The knights on the deck turned around and approached Sung-cheol Kim.

“Are you the captain of this ship? ”

The knight asked.

Quite a high-pressure, neurotic voice.

Kim Sung-cheol nodded.

“Yes.”

“Is that so?”

The knight suddenly raised his voice.

He took off his helmet and approached Sung-cheol Kim.

“What is it about flying Ileboro without flags? Is that so? Very swollen liver. Yes.”

Inside the helmet is a stubborn middle-aged man's face.

He yelled at Kim Sung-cheol.

“Do you think that all sins will be forgiven if you become magnificent? This is the sky of Illeboro! How dare you cross our skies without wearing a nationality! ”

Kim Sung-cheol at a glance found this man to be too fat to be a knight. Moreover, every time I opened my mouth, whether I had just drunk alcohol, I smelled a lot of alcohol.

‘No matter how small a country is, those who do not take care of themselves are knights. ’

While Kim Sung-cheol was thinking that way, the article continued to stand in front of Kim Sung-cheol and shout at him like a warning.

However, one of the knights saw Kim Sung-cheol's face and blamed it.

"Huh? That face...?! ’

He immediately approached the angry middle-aged knight and stopped him.

“Hey, baron. I don't think you should do this. ”

“What? What's the trouble? This cheeky pirate could be thrown out of the factory right now! ”

A middle-aged knight rarely gets angry.

But one word was enough to silence his anger.

“Him. It's like an enemy of the world. ”

The servant whispers a word in his ear.

The look on the middle-aged knight's face changed.

“Yes…? ”

He rubs his eyes again and looks at the face of the man who just pushed him away.

In the middle of a daze of alcoholic mind, one face began to look more specific.

The wanted flyers that were sprinkled by the Human Empire and the titles listed at the top were the enemies of the world.

“Hee-hee...! ”

“I won't say a word. Lead me to your king. ”

Kim Sung-cheol turned around, looking annoyed.

When the article hesitated, Kim Sung-cheol added in a bold tone.

“Before you find it yourself and destroy it all. ”
