Possessing Nothing

The sailing was smooth.

A week after leaving the harbor village. No major problems occurred while crossing the near seas.

Most of the monsters living near the shore were predators of fish in the sea, rather than raiding boats, and they knew instinctively that they shouldn't attack boats with low intelligence.

Thanks to this, Seong-min spent most of her time in her room.

There's nothing for mercenaries to do on the near shore. Pirates operating on the Near Sea.They attack fishing boats and whales.

They would never raid a trade ship this size.

While spending time in the room, Lee Sung-min spent most of his time meditating.

Lee Sung-min entered transcendence.

Although it was only just the beginning, Lee was able to destroy the sword's spatial sword and kill him.

It was possible because the body was able to reach back where it had reached in the spiritual world by entering the transcendence completely.

‘The world after this...... I don't know. ’

I've finally reached the point where I arrived in the spiritual world.

I don't know after that. From now on, I had to go only through the efforts of rational people.

In fact, there were many who could be stronger. There were black hearts, and there were dragon hearts that had not yet completely melted.

Moreover, the gangrene of the body quickly regenerates around a dizzy wound.

However, I couldn't keep my mind on him as long as I was the enemy of heaven and heaven.

You defeated the Sword Zone. It must have brought its ideals to nothing.

However, there remains the unpredictable Black Dragon Strait, and there are those who say it is much stronger than the sword.

Moreover, the superstition of the heavens and the earth. If we were to fight against the heavenly bodies, we would have to fight against superstition, but superstition was an absolute master that was not predicted even as a rational person today.

‘A private stockholder.’

Lee Sung-min remembered a private stockbroker. I like you. By saying that, the tetrarch helped Lee Sung-min.

Had it not been for the Sapolisher at that time, he would have been killed by Amzon and taken away from him.

We didn't know what his favors were due to, but we need a preparatory help to fight the superstitious.

Despite his lack of judgment, he must be an unarmed man standing far and high where he has not reached.

Knock, knock.

Someone knocks on the door. Lee Sung-min untied his gaze and got up.

The posture felt was positive. He only told me to knock on the door when it was urgent, and for a week after the sailing began, I didn't knock on Lee Sung-min's door.

“What the hell.”

Lee Sung-min opened the door and asked. She immediately bowed her head as Lee Sung-min's eyes met. The face that was swollen by Lee Sung-min was completely sunk after a week.

“That…… is called by the ship-owner. ”

“The shipowner? Me? ”

“Yes. It's... … not just Hyunsu, but all the mercenaries. ”

I said, sweating my water. He nodded slowly.

The name Jeong Hyun-su, the master of Class C mercenaries, still feels awkward. Lee Sung-min followed the amniotic fluid to the deck.

The sun in the sea is hot enough to make a living. The light in the southern region was so hot that a white azrang was really blooming on the deck.

Jod, the owner of this trade ship, sits on a soft chair on a sunny sunny sunrise.

Jod was riding next to him, and his face was blocked by a large mountain of sexually sensual prostitutes who just looked useless.

“Mercenaries. ”

The mercenaries are looking up at Zod, chewing the poop off the deck. Lee Sung-min stood up with the mercenaries, looking at Zod.

“This ship has just made its way across the coast to Belador. I haven't had to borrow your hands in weeks...”

Jod starts to speak up in a loud voice.

“I'm going to need your help from now on. Monsters! Those damn monsters. Oh, of course. I don't doubt your skills. I'm just saying, just in case. ”

That's how Jod talks about monsters in the sea for a long time. The amniotic fluid standing next to Lee Sung-min grumbled in a small voice.

“Nimmy, how are we going to catch Mr. Sufent? ”

I empathized with that.

Sea Surpent is a particularly threatening monster from the sea, and it is impossible to subdue Sea Surpent with 10 Class C mercenaries.

Lee Sung-min glanced at the mediator standing next to Jod. In the worst-case scenario, the mediator will take action.

“And this is really important. If you were attacked by pirates. Don't do anything stupid. ”

“Yes?”

Someone in the mercenary groans.

“Wait for my command first. You understand? Just do what I tell you. Just do what I tell you. ”

Lee understood why Jod said that.

It is because of the existence of the mediator. If the mediator later leaves, the amount of money given to the pirate increases.

Not all pirates, of course. If you can handle pirates, you can subdue them without spending money.

But if not, the existence of the arbiter will decide the fate of this ship.

Jod's reckless speech is over.

Apparently, all he wanted to do was put it together and talk about it. Through Jod's appearance, Lee Sung-min was able to give a rough idea of what kind of man he was. Too much bravado and vanity.

Since then, Jord hasn't called in any mercenaries. If it's as planned, two months should be on this boat.

Fortunately, the sea hasn't changed much, and the weather hasn't been bad. Jord did not believe, but the ship's captains and sailors were skilled, so there were no major problems with sailing.

In fact, it wasn't that much of a problem.

As Zod warned, monsters raid the ships more frequently.

It wasn't Seed Surpent, but some ugly mermaids and nerds ambushed the ship.

Mermaids looked like horses, like fish and people combined, and not as beautiful as it appeared in the story.

They are classified as Demihumans, but they are called Orcs of the Sea because of their lack of intelligence.

Despite repeated attacks, the number of mercenaries did not diminish.

They didn't have any minor injuries, but they gained experience while living in class C.

At least they were veterans who were obsessed with fighting mermaids.

“I'm going to die.”

The amniotic fluid grumbled as it wrapped around the bandage on its arm.

It was a wound on a mermaid's spear. The price of the potion is too small, so only the bandages are rough. The amniotic fluid sucks its lower lip, looking down at the corpse of the dead mermaid with its head cracked open.

“It's good to pay a lot of money to go on a boat, but it's too hard to live while you're on one. Isn't that right?”

I laughed, looking at Lee Sung-min as if she was seeking consent.

Lee Sung-min ignored the words of positive water because he had never been obsessed with sexual desire in his previous life.

But I had some empathy. I have memories of being a mercenary in my past life.

Class C mercenaries earn a day to eat and live. Cheap drink, cheap whore. Enhancement is the life of a lowly mercenary: giving up in front of reality and forgetting the pressure of not knowing when to die as a drunk and a woman.

“Hyunsu, have you ever been to Belador? That's a crazy place... I know a place. Will you come with me when you get to Belador? ”

Even though Lee Sung-min ignored the words, she persistently talked to him.

It's been more than a full day since we left.

In a monster raid that began after the near-miss, soldiers, including amniotic fluid, suffered minor injuries, but not just one.

Yang noticed that Lee was different from himself and other C-class mercenaries.

That's why we want to make a connection by pretending to be close to each other.

Of course, Lee Seong-min didn't want to associate with amniotic fluid. Even so, something bothers me, so I paused and looked at my amniotic fluid.

“W-what are you doing? ”

“Yes?”

The amniotic fluid that was slicing the mermaid's body with a large knife looked up at Lee Sung-min.

Are you trying to eat it? Lee Sung-min naturally questioned that.

But I don't want food to go that far. Because of the subspace pockets, there is plenty of food on this ship as well as supplies to carry to Belador.

“Oh… well… ”

The water smiled fabulously.

“This mermaid, she's a female. ”

“So?”

“Oh, pretending you don't know anything else...”

The amniotic fluid smiles quietly and gives you a smile. He uttered profanity in his head.

Lee Sung-min no longer said anything to her. It's not just amniotic fluid. Several mercenaries come up on the deck and take the lower half of the dead female mermaids apart.

Sailing was like that. Filthy, disgusting. Nevertheless, the sailing was smooth. As Lee continued his work as a mercenary, Lee hoped that his future voyage would continue this way.

“Ship!”

You start squeaking.

Three weeks after the voyage began. A sailor watching the sea from the watchtower shouts.

All mercenaries come to the deck with a shout. The boat and laggy were all naturally reminded of pirate ships. Boardmaster Jord and the merchant guild's mediator have also come to the deck.

“It's not a pirate ship...? ”

It couldn't have been a pirate ship. The little shard didn't even have a sail.

Barely paddling through the sea. In fact, it seemed to be floating around as the ocean flowed, rather than moving forward.

Lee Sung-min narrowed his eyes. Although it was far away, I saw who was on the boat with Lee Sung-min's eyes, not difficult.

“He looks like a drifter. What do you say?”

The captain asked Jod. Jord looks at the sculpture with a puffy face. He shakes his head without hesitation.

“Ignore it. There's enough people anyway. ”

That's what Jord said.

The blue smoke rises from the cargo ship. The high rising smoke burst above the sky, and split into five colors and scattered to the four sides.

The mediator who saw the smoke snatched and opened his mouth.

“No! ”

The mediator grabs Jod's shoulder as he turns. Zod's mouth flares with grip that seems to crush the bone.

“That smoke. That's the Derad symbol. ”

“De, House Derad? ”

Jod's face turned white. Jod was well aware of the Derad family.

One of three families leading the Merchant Guild. It is no exaggeration to say that most of the trade in the sea is under the influence of the Derad family. Jord swallows a gulp.

“Head over there right now. ”

The mediator's eyes glow fiercely, as if to tear Zod to pieces, even as the horse was raising.

For the safety of this ship, and to escort its owner, Zod, the mediator was eventually part of the merchant guild.

Eventually, following Jod's orders, the ship heads for the Sculpture.

There were three people on board the Fragment Ship. Two women who look like maids and a boy dressed in luxury, covered in tea.

The mercenaries swallowed as they watched the maidens climb up the ladder.

The mediator shoots a stern glance at the mercenaries.

“Ah, God. ”

I thought I was going to die in the Great Sea. The maids came aboard and sat down helplessly looking for God.

After climbing up the ladder, the boy looked around with a face full of tiredness and annoyance.

“Is this a trade ship?”

“Yes.”

The answer was mediator. He bows his head to the boy.

The boy glares at the mark of the merchant guild engraved on the left chest of the mediator.

“A mediator. Where are you from? ”

“I belong to the Palez Merchants Guild. ”

“Really? Good. ”

The boy sighed and stroked his sweaty head with his hands.

“I'm Engwithan Derad. We were attacked by a bunch of crazy pirates, and our ships were wrecked, and we barely survived. ”

The brow of the mediator trembles in the name Engwithan Derad.

The fact that Derad bears the last name was the blood of the family heir.

But the mediator didn't even remember the name Engwithan. He would, too, because the Derad family had dozens of children.

If you do not remember his name, it means that you have Derad's last name and are not a big person.

“Where is this ship headed? ”

“I'm heading to Belador. ”

The mediator replies, "Jord is working hard to keep an eye on things that aren't turning."

Jod knew the power of House Derad well.

This is an opportunity. The opportunity to be close to your ambition has come.

Since the boy with Derad's last name saved him from floating around the sea and dying, this can connect him with the Derad family.

After that, you can leave the Derad family behind and run for success.

“The boat I was on sank. We have to tell Lord about him at least once. ”

“Where are you going? ”

Jod asked me quickly. Engrey looks at Zod and asks.

“Are you the shipowner? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“We go to Lovkos, not to Belador. There's no reason to go to Belador. It was Belador who started my ship. ”

Rochboss is a large port city just below Palez, the port town from which the ship left.

At Engwithan's words, Jord nods his head without a second thought. Instead of going to Velador for trade, he thought it was an opportunity to connect with House Derad by listening to Engrey and going to Robkos.

“We're going to Rob Course! ”

Jod shouts for all the crew to hear. The mercenaries grumbled, but did not refuse.

It was because I didn't mind going to Logan Lokboss to Belador if I gave him the right money.

“We can't do that. ”

The muttering of Lee Sung-min interspersed between the shouts of Jod, who was excited to have a relationship with the Derad family.

“I have to go to Belador. ”

Everyone's gaze was on Lee Sung-min.
