The Cave King will live a Paradise Life -Becoming the strongest with the mining skill?-

The figure of First Class Dragon Knight Arder was in the captain's office as the ship's wounded and sick were transported to Cheol one after another.

"Did you see that? Take that island?

Arder continues to those who sit around the table with a grin.

"I didn't expect to find an island away from such a continent... that, too, seemed to be rich in food and water. More importantly, all they wear are gold and jewels."

Since landing earlier, Arder's head was full of jewels that Cheol's demons could wear.

Arder keeps his nose rough.

"If you take that back to your country and dedicate it to the King... the new title and territory will remain as you wish..."

The Arders had been given the royal fate of making maps of the continent of Burleon.

But he was the one who received the royal decree, and he wasn't the one who made the map, foolishly and honestly.

Hit coastal towns and trade ships in the process and earn money from them...... Arder had dreamed of winning a thousand dollars for this voyage.

That's why a week ago they tried to attack the port town of the Kingdom of San Fares.

But they were bad.

It was the kingdom of San Fares, a military power, that tried to strike.

Arder's fleet, originally unfamiliar with naval warfare, suffers a great loss to the Royal Navy, which was not even allowed to land before the robust garrison and emerged out of nowhere when he tried to escape.

Initially their fleet consisted of eight carac ships given to them by the King, but they were to lose five in this battle.

Upon making the map and returning, it was certain that responsibility would be taken from the king, and Arder was in despair.

Moreover, the intransigent pursuit of the Royal Navy left even supplies unaddressed, temporarily enough to prepare them for death.

"This is good luck..."

Arder looked out the captain's office window to the island.

... it would slightly exceed the value of the ship's five vessels, even if it merely brings back the gold and silver gems that were previously visible.

Moreover, in a rare giant tree, there is a giant elephant of a naked man with rare but glowing eyes… I would love to occupy it and bring the findings back to my country.

Furthermore the man who names the Lord of the island is a young man of man.

From the pickel I have, I guess he's the head of a miner seconded to this island. I didn't think he was a military man very used to fighting.

My men seem to have armed demons, but the numbers are known.

From our point of view, they are nothing but inferior creatures...

"Everybody listen carefully. We will... occupy the island!

That is what Arder said to his side.

"Yerevan, how's it going?

"No, you don't...... too odd"

Yerevan looked at the wounded and sick people who had been transported by boat and squealed so.

All the injured and sick are lying on their beds placed in landfills.

The tarans. Futons made of cave spider yarn were laid, and everyone had no heart or a bright face to the feeling of sleeping on long land.

What treats them are Riena, Barris and Hurre, who can now use magic.

Among them, Riena played a central role in the treatment of having other demons carry meals and water.

"I'm going to cure you now. Oh, water for that one."

The wounded and sick seem grateful for the dedicated treatment of Riena.

In addition to ear people like dragon feathers, wounded and sick people have people like me and demons like goblins.

When we landed, we made sure we didn't have any weapons in mind, but oddly enough, no one did.

But even without weapons, they could be magically attacked.

I thought so and confirmed their magic, but their magic is about as good as a human being's and is unlikely to be a major threat.

Near the wounded and sick, they are intimidated by golems and so on, and the weapons are kept in place to stare at the ship all the time.

Still don't know what's going to happen, so I'm not in the treatment and I'm staring...

Yerevan asked anxiously.

"Admiral... did you see the face of Arder earlier?

"Oh. I've been looking at us like we deserve it"

"Well, I knew you'd accept it."

"... sorry to make you anxious"

"No, it would be natural for the Admiral to do this. Even when I first pointed the blade, the Admiral accepted me."

But Yerevan continued.

"I don't think I'm a personable person. But at least we don't strip our benefactors of their fangs. But that Arder..."

That's all I've been saying, and Yerevan's been asking me this.

"No, it's not a question of what he's doing. I can do it alone if they don't take the Admiral's hand. What I'm worried about is what I'm going to do with him."

Yerevan asked me with a serious look sometime.

My way so far...... if I leave without killing, I will leak the existence of this island to the outside world.

It is visible that the Arders speak of this island to the men of their own land.

If you put all the gold and silver gems you know on this island in the ears of the Dragon King, it could also lead to a new invader.

I wish I could get rid of it magically every time...

When a hell of an enemy shows up, you can't afford to do anything about it, and bleeding may become inevitable.

So I'm going to kill the Arders here... so it won't be a big fight.

Unlike the Duchy ships that appeared before this, their homeland should be far away.

It's just a hopeful observation, but even if it sinks, I don't think it sends the novice right in.

But in case it comes again...?

"Right..."

sink, let them escape...... other than that, wouldn't there be a good option?

Maybe that requires a change in the sweet way we've been doing it.

Troubled, a boy with glasses who understands Burleon, Berphalt, arrived.

Would it be surveillance behind it, with two ear soldiers not armed but like dragon feathers?

"Dear Heels. Thank you so much for doing this."

Belfalt with a dusty head down.

You're scared of my neighbor, Elevan, and you're moving a little hard.

"No, you can't abandon the injured. By the way, Belfalt. You seem to understand Barleone."

"Oh, yes! I'm from the Republic of Amoris on the Farrion continent."

"The Republic of Amoris... it was a country with a lot of merchants"

The Farion continent is located east of the Barleon continent, separating the sea.

On the West Bank is the Republic of Amoris.

republican country where politics is carried out by several prestigious nobles.

It is a small but commercially active country.

I have also seen Amoris' trade ship in the King's Capital, but it also comes often in trade to the continent of Barleon.

Their language is supposed to be Farionic, widely spoken in the Farionic continent, but I guess some people can speak Barleone at work naturally.

"Do you work as their interpreter?

"No... I was a freshly independent merchant, traveling to trade with the Burleon continent on a small trading boat... and they attacked me. I know Barleone, so I'm an interpreter besides a rower."

"I see. Their country...... is the kingdom of the Vader Dragon also on the Farrion continent?

"Yes, the kingdom of Vader Dragon is a great power in the centre of the continent, but it looks like you've recently acquired land facing the sea and are exploring outside the continent"

"Right..."

If so, even if the Arders were to stay out of the news here, they would still not send the Navy right away.

When I was thinking that, the soldier behind Belfalt pounded his tongue.

Belfalt hears it and tells him to hurry.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not allowed to talk too long. Anyway, it's up to me to thank you."

"Oh. Thanks. Because the supplies are almost ready...... yeah?

I notice a new boat coming.

They seem unarmed, all but rowers lying.

Apparently, it's a new casualty.

But Belfalt tilts his neck.

"Yeah? Were you still there? Even though it's a minor injury, it's just... I'm going to ask you a few questions."

That's what Belfalt said, and he headed for the boat.
