287th episode
What Jae-ho limited to them was the human and material exchange of Atrius and Elysia.
"Don't you like it better if new people keep coming here, too. I'm bored."
"Surely so. Because we always seek new meetings. Do you know Samanchu?"
Aish nodded.
"However, no matter how many times a man-chu is allowed in, it is a matter of careful approach as it may be a refuge for land criminals."
It was certainly one of the most sensitive parts.
Jae-ho was also worried.
What if he pulls people into Atrius out of his greed and there's a big problem here?
It should never have happened because many people are calling him an ecosystem destroyer.
So the way Jae Ho came up with it.
"Do you know visa..."
"Vuza?"
Aish, who pronounces visa perfectly [viːzǝ].
"Yes. You can think of it as a kind of a pass. I'm going to sign an agreement between the Elysia Garden and Atrius, where I am, to make a pass that only confirmed by mutual verification can travel. Only those who have it can visit Atrius."
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
As if Jae-ho's words sounded quite interesting, Aish and the ancient mermaids exchanged glances.
"Vujara..."
"Of course, even if we reduce the risk as much as possible, there can be as many problems as possible. In that case, make sure that the person's visa can be revoked immediately on the Atrius side."
"I think it's gonna be okay.”
"It sounds like fun."
"Then we won't be as bored as we are now.”
The ancient mermaids nodded actively.
"In my personal opinion, I agree. It's so boring under this sea."
The same goes for Iish.
"But I think we should talk to Your Majesty about the final decision.”
It was only natural and Jae-ho expected it.
The first thing I told them was that I wondered how the mermaids responded to his proposal.
Given that every single one of them showed positive responses, I thought it would work well for Seorubal.
'There are more than one or two benefits to this.’
It was to gain exclusive rights to sea navigation, as well as further increase the Elysia plant's presence on the continent.
Anyone would use it if they could get rid of the long, tedious sailing penalties of days or months.
'You have to persuade Seorubal to make it happen somehow!’
Jae-ho clenched his fists and strengthened his determination.
* * *
Jae-ho returns to Atrius with Aish and heads to Ocean Tower.
Then, he met a group of excited people at the square in front of the Ocean Tower.
"Oh! Where have you been?"
"Alsia! Look at this! Have you ever seen a pearl this big?"
They bragged about you and me.
"Mr. Alsia! Look at this! I got something great!"
In the meantime, it was Tina that stood out the most.
She is wearing a headdress made from the skull of a large creature that may not be fish or monsters.
One could never wear one's own size.
It's only possible because this place is underwater.
"Isn't it the skull of a dragon?"
"...yes."
I knew right away what the basis of that grotesque choice was.
"Alsia! There's something great over there, and I've never been...….”
"First of all, I'm going to meet the Dragon King again. You can walk around more until then.”
Buffalo, who was also excited and talked to Jae-ho, turned sour.
"Why all of a sudden? Are you trying to do something weird again?"
When I saw Jae-ho going back to the Ocean Tower, asked Wan-sik.
"That's a little expression, isn't it?" What a strange thing to do.”
"Think about what you've done so far. Besides, why do you have to go see the Dragon King again? You're never going with normal thoughts."
"What are you talking about? Who plays the game quieter than I do? My job is the height of mediocrity."
Flower shop!
"Yes, no. It's not normal at all."
Ignoring the mockery of the completion, Jae-ho entered the Aish and Ocean Tower.
* * *
"Alsia the Great. I think you left here a little while ago, but you're back."
words of the Dragon King Seorubal, which seem to contain a little displeasure
"I'm sorry to barge in like this, Dragon King!"
But Jae-ho quickly fell flat and apologized.
"But I didn't know when I could visit Atrius again, so I took the liberty of asking for an audience."
"Hmm... Say it."
"Yes! Then...".”
When his permission was dropped, Jae-ho enthusiastically explained his proposal.
To sound as sweet as possible, to feel like an irresistible temptation.….
"...so that if this interaction were to take place, Atrius would be able to stand tall in this world, and be another hero!"
Huuu
To the point where you sweat even though you're under water.
Aish seemed to have been moved by the speech with the soul.
"Hmm... Vizara."
Dragon King Seorubal with his arms crossed.
"At first glance, what Alsia the Great says feels like the best offer from the perspective of our Atrius."
“…….”
a subtle negative tone
For me, who has a good feeling for you, such a suggestion doesn't sound bad. It is true that our mermaids have been so isolated. But think about it. Who actually benefits greatly from this proposal?”
Of course, Jaeho.
"Unlike you who know some about the sea, we know nothing about the earth. They say that they have no choice but to lose money even if they make a deal. How will you bear the responsibility for him?"
I have also prepared an answer to that.
As Seorubal threw the rice cake first, he could bite himself as if he wanted to.
'This level of NPC is often true even though you know it. That means you're going to test me.'
I knew it because I've been dealing with legendary NPC more than anyone else.
They're not stupid enough to accept it, but they're designed to move towards the player with plausible persuasion and favor!
"You said you liked me, so I'll tell you. If anyone does damage to Atrius, I'll come forward and destroy it with all the power of the Elysian garden. Didn't you leave me with the call of the sea anyway? I think that's enough!"
"Oh, then I'll make you a suggestion."
Surubal tilted his upper body slightly and said,
"King Alcia, I will stake your name on the will of the sea."
Dragon King Seorubal wants to proceed with you.
'Pledge?
[ : Your soul is mortgaged through the will and vows of the sea. If you do not fulfill your pledge faithfully, your level will be reduced by 150.]
"Cough!"
a cough that bursts as soon as one sees the explanation
'You're 150 down?!’
Of course, I thought it would be good to continue working with the mermaids.
But isn't there a "failure" in the world?
Jae-ho could have been enslaved as he was, if he could have wielded such an absurd pledge at his will.
"I'm afraid to misunderstand, but this is not a vow with me."
Surubal, who read Jae-ho's intentions, added an explanation.
"I don't know if you're trying to deceive me. Even a devil or wise man doesn't know exactly what his opponent is like. But the sea is not the mother of all life. The vastness of the creature cannot be fooled by the same aesthetic as ours. That's why I'm offering you something. "If we both accept our vows with the guarantee of the sea, Atrius will become allies with you."
“…….”
He said he didn't intend to cheat, but he said he had to write a cruel pledge, which makes me a little scared.
'But I can't back down at a time when I brought up the horse first.'
Rather, there was a risk of a fall in credibility.
"Hmm, if the pledge is 'reasonable', I'm all for it."
That was the best thing Jae-ho could say.
* * *
Jaeho found the will of the sea again.
This time, the Dragon King Seorubal moved with him.
And the Goinghel crew and the mermaids who followed along.
Surubal did not restrain the onlookers at all, so it was easy to see how open the mermaids were.
"Then we will begin the ceremony."
At the words of Hai Ga-yi, Jae-ho and Seorubal faced each other, with the glowing jellyfish between them.
Unlike the previous meeting, the highness of the atmosphere is quite serious.
"Please take out your vows and give them to me."
Jae-ho handed over a written pledge to Hiiga, which he had agreed with Seorubal in advance.
Jae-ho's pledge contained what he had previously suggested to Seorubal.
And if the pledge becomes a penalty, Jae-ho neglects the danger of Atrius caused by humans.
On the contrary, Seorubal's pledge states that he will actively support the exchange of Atrius with the ground promised to Jae-ho.
I don't know by what standards you're trying to judge this, but...….’
Given the existence of such a system of vows, it would never have been sloppy.
Sushi
The tentacles of light streamed out and absorbed the pledge in both hands of the ancient mermaid.
Two written vows that disappeared as if they had not been there from the beginning.
[Serubal of the Dragon King has been signed.]
"...End?"
a pledge that ended too blandly than one might think
"How do you know this?”
Jae-ho asked Highiga, who held the pledge.
"I can't feel anything originally. Like under a calm sea, this oath is asleep. But Alsia, when the moment comes when you have to carry out this vow, you'll know naturally."
"Yes......."
Smoothed
And the sluice that came to Jaeho'suddenly.
"Congratulations today."
He put Jae-ho's shoulder together after a simple word.
"As of this time, our Atrius and the Elysia, the Elysia and the Atrius have become allies of the sea!”
[Allied with the Kingdom of Atrius.]
I feel a little bit of a stitch in my nose, but...….’
If there's a problem, we can solve it.
Enjoying this moment was enough.
Whooooooooooooooo!
The mermaids cheered and began to dance shoulder to shoulder.
However, the humans who were caught by them and danced together had lost their minds without knowing the situation.
What did Hwang Jae-ho do while they were excited to see Atrius?
* * *
The eastern part of the continent where the Elysia flower garden is located.
And the kingdom of Lassel, an ally of the Elysia plant in the southeast a little below.
Recently, the kingdom of Rasel there had been troubled.
The Warring States Period, which began in earnest with the discovery of the New World by the Mahwang Tubal and the Bear Gorillas.
Each country on the continent was in a hurry to conquer the sea, as the kingdom of Rasel was far behind.
It was largely due to the fact that the New World was located on the opposite side of the sea where it was found.
But finance was a burden to explore the eastern sea of the continent.
"Ha...... what if I don't want to spend money and I don't want to lose the sailing competition?”
Taylor sitting on a sea cliff overlooking Tuchar, the largest port city of the Rassel Kingdom.
Count Taylor, a competent aristocrat, will visit Tuchar to find a solution.
It has been two weeks since I came here under King Rasel's vague order, but I have not made any progress.
In addition, Count Tucharea, the lord of this place, was clumsy and incompetent, but he was suspicious and did not cooperate at all.
But it was only natural.
In the eyes of Count Tucharea, Taylor was lucky to be next to Jaeho to receive a large bean paste.
Taylor, a street native with no legitimacy of the nobility in the Rasel Kingdom, was not yet recognized by other nobility.
"Well... but I can't stay put."
Even now, King Rasel's favorability was falling little by little.
I have to do something, but...….
"XX!! You can see clearly inside!!!"
King Rasel once said.
Count Taylor can do enough. You have a "personal relationship" with King Alsia.
In other words, bring Jae-ho in and juice the sweet water somehow.
"That makes sense? Now that madman is going crazy, wandering across the ocean on the other side of the continent!!!"
To Dynos Primitive Island and Atrius.
In addition, I heard recently that the brown bears who were captured as slaves of the Goinghel made a formal guild and joined Jaeho's side.
On the other hand, he's still a member of the Brown Bear Guild...…!
"Me too... I want to go into the Shiva Guild!!! Shiva! Alsia, you bastard! Before you go, you'll at least suggest something to me! I'm not friendly, I'm not mean, I'm dirty.…!!”
nettle solution
Pooo
"컭?"
Taylor flew like a lightning bolt and looked down with trembling eyes at the branch in her heart.
This familiar feel! Pain!
"Yi, this is... ..!!”
A flash.
His head turned to the horizon far away.
And witnessed.
The angel of silver wings rising from the whirlpool of rainbows... No, the GOINGHELL!
