A shout was heard below.

I looked down.

There's something with only one finger shouting at Gilrout.

Let's take a closer look. It was an old man with a red cloth around his body and a white beard all over his face.

And, most of all,

“Are you... a boatman? ”

The thing in his hand was small like a toothpick, but it was clearly in the shape of a paddle, and the movement of that toothpick led to the movement of a giant paddle on the boat.

‘Above… below… right…. ’

Definitely the same direction.

I don't know if he's using his mind.

“Yes. Are you going to cross? ”

There is no turning back.

It's just water.

“I'm going to cross.... ”

“Prepaid.”

The boatman was amazingly small for making such a loud voice. The tetrahedron glanced at my wrist bone and said,

“3,000 crew members. That's enough to make a move on any number of people. ”

“Oh, I see. ”

The number on the wrist is 6,000.

“Ugh, those guys that showed up earlier, pretended to give them a lot and then crossed the boat twice, and that was it? ”

Durahan grunts.

“But isn't it too expensive? ”

The ferryman snorts.

"Hmph! I don't care how many you burn, just one move.

That's how many of you have the advantage. You should consider yourself lucky! ”

“Ouch."

I've never actually used a cruna before.

I don't know how much of this is.

I had no place to ask, and it was hard to sense that there were many and few.

‘Hard to say. ’

“By any chance... is this the way to the Auction House? A shop where you can use a cruna. ”

Looking across the invisible river, the scouts said,

I remembered.

“Yeah, is that right? You're going there?”

“I intend to. ”

He nods as if he knew.

“Well... I guess we'll have to spend some money there. If you're going back and forth, I'll give you 5,000 for a special 1,000 crew and 4,000 for an extra 1,000 if you're going to jump right across here without wasting your time. These benefits are usually offered only once a month. Decide.”

Saying that he was very compassionate.

“Well… that……. ”

“Swim across if you're confident. There are a lot of ferocious, hungry creatures down here. This ship has magic to protect it, but it's okay. ”

The old man gently lowers his voice, twisting his finger at the red cloth on his body.

“There are ways to wait here. But you see that right there? Do you see a passageway? ”

He pointed at the top of the cave with a toothpick in his hand.

A giant hole with a faint light.

I saw a few.

At first glance, it looks like it will be over 10 meters in diameter easily.

“I'm not trying to scare you... That's where Moles chew rocks. I'm not available right now, but I don't know when I'll be back. How would you like it if you chewed a bone while chewing rocks? ”

Is it true?

It is clear that something has passed through there.

The detection level is still low, so make sure

I don't know.

“Well, do you want to cross now? Or what, do you want to take care of it? As you can see, it's a special river, and I honestly don't want to cross it with anyone. If you burn your hands, there's too many people down there. It's hard to maintain the strength to protect the ship. ”

“If you're giving me a round trip... I'll go through this and go out the other way anyway, so I think it might be profitable if I go one way..." ”

Guillote whispers next to you.

6Such calculations are a bit strange. ’

We don't have much of a choice anyway.

You've come all this way to go back?

Walk down the Black River, where neither depth nor end know the flow rate.

Pay to sail.

Dallac!

['1004' wants to kill the Master and take his ship.]

['1004' automatically interprets what you want to say.]

Brother, shall I dip it?

I looked at '1004' because I lost my mind.

‘You were an Orc Assassin. ’

Anyway, I had no intention of killing the ferryman in a position that I didn't even know existed.

“Hmmm... I like your impression so much that I'll give you a discount of up to 3,000. One last time.”

“Hnng.”

But I also had to cross, when I wanted to.

“Hee hee! ”

The small boatman opened his eyes wide, startled.

A shadow falls behind me.

I recovered from my detection skills, but I turned my head as if I was surprised at the fact that I didn't feel anything.

I look back and see a man with a white robe wrapped around his head smiling.

The man motionlessly touches the hermit crab on his neck.

The tortuous conch around your neck is spiraling.

A necklace that emits a strange energy.

"Are you human?"

“We're still human here. ”

A quiet voice flew in and stabbed you.

“What……? ”

It was like reading my thoughts exactly.

Seeing a third hand stretching out from the hood and messing with his head, he doesn't seem to be a 'human’.

“What, who are you? ”

The boatman, who was furious, suddenly woke up and asked.

“I'm crossing the river. ”

“Hmm! Crossing the river... You've been standing there secretly, haven't you? ”

The man shrugs his shoulders.

“I don't know.”

“Tsk... Why are you so surprised? Then you will receive only 3,000 crew members... ”

He cuts the horse as if it were a man giggling.

"You can't be serious. Even if it's a forgery, the more guests you pick up, the better the structure will be. There can be no such thing as a fare. ”

His face was stiff.

“Oh, my……. What nonsense are you talking! ”

My voice is shaking a little.

“Of course, I don't care how much money it costs to leave my ship. ”

Knng, knng.

The white hood gives you an exaggerated snort and catches a slight wrinkle in the forehead.

“But this ship stinks of rosary. I'm sure the shipowner trusts him. Can I do that? ”

“Hnng... Get in. ”

The boatman grunts.

He gestures at us to get on the boat, as if we don't have anything to say.

Gilrout sighs in an absurd manner.

“Ha… well……. ”

But I haven't lost anything.

It was when the White Hood boarded the ship and we followed.

“10,000 Cruna.”

The man mutters small.

The boatman said something embarrassing to the man.

I asked again.

“What? It's okay to just get in? ”

“I just don't want to ride. ”

“What?”

“The ship entrusted to the Red Fabric Master is being used for fraud. I don't want Ereshigal to hear about this. Silence is gold, don't you know? Silence is money. ”

“Who are you threatening...? ”

Flash!

He was stuck in a pile of junk.

I lifted a paddle a hundred times bigger than my body, lightly like a chopstick.

A half-submerged oar lifts into the air and reveals something new.

Shapes of all kinds of magic.

The symbols have magical meaning.

Its enormous size, its lightly lifted fingers, and its engraved symbols are not uncommon.

From an unknown perspective, there was an odd amount of pressure that made me feel delicate.

‘I wouldn't look so good in a fight. ’

Like a boatman thundering.

I shouted.

“This is the bronze rod of the Hellfire! Whoever it is... I'd recognize you for pretending to be a smartass! If you keep this oar straight, the witches will come ashore and eat you! ”

“Oh, you're really playing. ”

The man answered briefly and put one hand under the water.

‘One, two, three, four... Five? ’

It didn't look that wide in the white hood, but where did those hands come from?

“But I can't feel the body odor.

The Serpent Canal doesn't even have crocodile valleys. The breach in the dimension hasn't opened yet. ”

“Who the hell are you?!" ”

“If you keep making me more tired, will you really let me know? ”

The man in the hood pulls out a small amulet from his hand.

When the four hands were mobilized, the carved red amulet quickly turned into a more elaborate piece of paper.

“Ugh... ”

The paper bird seemed to be able to flap and fly right away.

Quiet.

He must have lost his word.

He had thrown a small medallion with no strength, and the number 10,000 clearly sparkled red.

I slid away and boarded the soldiers in the ship.

“Thank you. It's a free ride. ”

But the man sitting on the belly kept staring at me with his head stiffened.

The moment I want to say horse.

“10,000."

“10,000……? ”

“If it wasn't for me, I would have paid 3,000 fares. And $7,000 for information. ”

“What an imposition! He's worse than a boatman! ”

Guillote is annoyed at your side.

And I don't have that kind of money.

The man shakes his four hands and smiles bloody.

“I don't have to take it. But the habit of paying for good information will be good in the long run. ”

“… wait a minute. ”

Woof...

I opened my inventory and brought out a 10-year-old theory.

“Nothing right now... human money. Will you accept this, too? ”

It was that moment.

“You! ”

The white hood grips me with your bare hands.

“What was that? There should be nothing I can't see. ”

“What are you doing?! ”

Gilrout grabs hold of the White Hood's wrist, and the man lowers his wrist without giving it much strength.

But at the same time, another hand protrudes from the hood and fills the spot.

“This bastard……! ”

Gilrout breaks the other wrist of the hood, but the situation remains unchanged.

I tried to twist my body out, but the man's hand was "holding" where I needed to be.

I wasn't holding it too tight, but I couldn't get out.

It was amazing.

What are you going to do? ’

The fight is over.

If the opposing Pokémon has any intention of killing it, this is the end.

‘Power is not measured. ’

There is no way to win in my head.

When I met Nannau or Leandro at the beginning of my regression, the same obstacle struck me.

Dallac!

Raise your weapons

I ran next to him.

However, the man remains motionless and throws out all his attacks with his bare hands.

I didn't grab the blade or flick it, but all the weapons were on the deck.

Yuck!

The wick of the rowing man suddenly became uncomfortable.

“Ouch! Ouch, you guys! My ship is going to be destroyed! ”

The man's hand had already gone over the fever.

He quickly changed his face many times in the standing position, finally smiling and letting me go.

At the same time, the fight is over.

Gillotte and the other soldiers didn't seem too eager to attack him.

“I had a good look... and that was the price. Don't mind me. Just relax. I have a whole day to catch a boat. ”

“... for a day on the boat? ”

“Yes."

The man nods.

And you're gonna sit in the corner of the boat.

You hide your protruding hands back inside the white hood.

I closed my eyes quietly, touching the back of the cow on my neck with my remaining two hands.

“What... is that? ”

Gilrout whispers a low whisper next to you.

I was curious, but it wasn't the mood to talk.

The man closed his eyes, forcibly meditating, not just on himself, but on his surroundings.

Tsk, tsk... tsk.

The boatman rowed again with a gloomy look somewhere, and we were on the deck.

‘Just one day. ’

The status window has been loaded.

The background sound is just right.

‘Reading time. ’

After you extract a copy of Kevin Ashton's book from your inventory.

And it was a deleted time zone.

Maybe there's a clue.

Bloop!

I got nervous, fixed up, and opened the first chapter.
