Episode 1199. take one step further

Elio, looking at Captain Althelm and Fabian, muttered as if he was talking to himself.

“There is something a wise man said in my hometown. ‘When you reach the end of the thirty meter tall pole, take one step further.’ It may seem like if you take one step further, you will surely die, but in fact, it means that it is the way to live a great life.”

Elio paused for a moment and turned his head to Fabian.

“Fabian, do you think you will die if you continue sailing here?”

“yes? As you can see, the weather… … . Yeah, it doesn’t feel right.”

Elio’s eyes turned to Captain Althelm this time.

“Do you think so too, Captain?”

“If the current weather is as extreme as last time, the ship will sink.”

“It’s like standing on the tip of a thirty meter high pole, isn’t it?”

“… … .”

Dry saliva ran down the nervous Captain Althelm’s throat.

So, are you willing to take one step closer to the point where you will die?

As expected, Count Elio Lagoa spoke in a calm tone.

“We don’t turn the boat, we just keep going.”

“yes… … .”

Who are you to disobey?

Captain Althelm’s shoulders slumped.

Before, I wasn’t afraid of extreme weather or anything, but not now.

However, he could not disobey Count Lagoa’s orders.

Elio spoke to the thoughtful Captain Althelm.

“Like last time, if you see an island you didn’t see before or if there are signs of unusual weather, the captain should immediately turn the ship around and escape.”

For a moment, the eyes of Captain Althelm, who had been dying, came to life.

“Really?”

“That will require sailors to open both eyes and look in all directions.”

“Yes, yes. “I will.”

Captain Althelm thought Count Lagoa had halfway given up on finding the Skystar.

‘Well, since you experienced extreme weather last time, it’s only natural. But why do you keep wandering around the Demon Sea?’

Although he was curious, he did not dare to ask and returned to the wheelhouse.

After a while, the helmsman Delos came out and scolded the crew.

The sailors who were resting on board scattered to the gunwale and stern.

The winter wind became increasingly harsh and showed no signs of abating.

The magic sailboat rocked left and right in the waves hitting the gunwale.

It’s nothing compared to a storm, but it’s enough to make you feel uncomfortable.

Elio’s upper body also shook left and right without stopping.

Count Larva Omar suddenly said something.

“I think the waves today are the highest they’ve ever been.”

“There’s a typhoon coming, right? “Then we’ll be in really big trouble.”

Fabian glanced at Count Elio Lagoa’s complexion.

But Elio was steadfast.

There is a thing called feeling.

Considering the weather, it was right to leave the Demon Sea, but it seemed like a green island would appear.

That’s why the phrase ‘Baekcheokgandujinilbo’ came to mind.

Rationally, it was right to leave, but my sixth sense told me not to.

The magic sailboat moved forward, fighting against high waves all day.

As the sun set, the waves became rougher and water poured onto the deck.

slam! slam-!

The magic sailboat was now shaking not only left and right, but also up and down.

When the hull heaves, the bow is most affected.

Elio and his group’s bodies, which had been nodding left and right, were now shaking up and down.

Fabian, who thought he might fall off the ship like this, quietly moved to the side of the auxiliary mast.

Even after the sun completely set, the waves did not subside.

The sailors in the gunwale and stern returned to their cabins one by one.

Not only was it impossible to see, but it was also dangerous because the ship was shaking so much.

Elio and his group had a simple dinner in the cabin.

My stomach was churning and I couldn’t even dream of eating a proper meal.

After finishing his meal, Elio went out to the bow again, but Count Larva Omar and Fabian remained in the cabin.

Fabian said, looking at Count Elio Lagoa sitting alone on the bow.

“He is such a terrible person.”

“He is a man with a great sense of duty.”

“It’s not because of a sense of duty, but because I want to return to my hometown.”

“By hometown, do you mean the barbarian village in the Alba Nubes Mountains?”

“well.”

Count Larva Omar glanced at Fabian.

It is already widely known that Count Elio Lagoa is from the Alba Nubes Mountains, but what do you mean?

“I guess Lord Lagoa has a separate hometown?”

“I won’t say anything. If you’re curious, ask directly.”

“Hehe. “You are a loyal vassal.”

Count Larva Omar did not feel offended, but instead laughed.

I thought Baron Fabian was a soft-spoken man, but I guess that wasn’t necessarily true.

next day.

Elio, who opened his eyes early, went out to the bow.

Fabian, who had replaced Count Larva Omar at dawn, looked back and said.

“The waves got a little stronger. “The sound of the waves hitting the boat is deafening.”

“Good job. “Go in and rest for a moment.”

“It’s still okay. “If you lie down, you will only get motion sickness.”

“If you’re having a hard time, try the small heavenly circuit. “It works better if you turn it at that time.”

“I tried it, but my stomach was churning and it kept breaking.”

“Oh, but keep going. Then, at some point, it will become as natural as breathing. “It’s been real since then.”

“Did you do it as naturally as breathing, Count?”

“That’s the basics. “I haven’t been in the same state since I was born.”

“All right.”

Fabian gritted his teeth and focused on the ‘small sky circuit’.

But every time the ship plunged downward, the small sky circuit suddenly broke.

Every time that happened, it felt like the mana hole in my heart was going to tear.

‘Isn’t this going to go wrong?’ I was worried, but I didn’t stop challenging myself when I heard that I would become Count Elio Lagoa.

It feels like the mana hole in my chest is torn to shreds and tattered.

Of course, that’s how it feels.

If the mana hole had really been torn, I wouldn’t have been able to stand upright.

Fabian became anxious as the pain in Mana Hole worsened.

I wanted to quit right now.

I didn’t know if I overexerted myself a little more, I might end up in trouble.

Mana Hall continued to send out danger signals.

The sound of the waves or the rocking of the boat was no longer a problem.

If you think about ‘whether I will become a person or not’, that was nothing.

‘Should I quit? Should I try one more time?’

I must have bitten my lip incorrectly because I was nervous, and it burned and tasted like blood.

For a moment, Fabian came to his senses.

‘You have to decide now before it’s too late.’

At that time, the words of Count Elio Lagoa suddenly came to mind.

―There is something a wise man said in my hometown. ‘When you reach the end of the thirty meter high pole, take one step further.’ It may seem like if you take one step further, you will surely die, but in reality, it means that it is the way to live a great life.

Now I think I know what that means.

He was standing at the end of a thirty meter tall pole.

If you go one step further, problems may arise with the mana hole.

For a knight, that would be worse than death.

‘Count Lagoa, do we really have to go one step further?’

Fabian’s eyes caught the back of Count Elio Lagoa.

A knight of the rift and the guardian of Hirhera.

A knight who wants to fight alone against all the gods.

He said.

If you continue, it will become as natural as breathing.

You can trust him and take a step forward, or you can stop here and protect the mana hole.

‘let’s go.’

Fabian closed his eyes tightly and started the ‘Small Sky Circuit’ again.

The mana hole, which looked like it would tear at any moment, did not explode.

The next moment, ‘Sharp!’ And the magic sailboat fell down.

Of course, I thought my heart would be clogged, but as if it were a lie, the mana flowed leisurely along the small sky circuit.

As Count Elio Lagoa said, it was as comfortable as breathing.

At that time, the watchman shouted from the main sail’s topcastle.

“It’s an island! “You can see the island at 3 o’clock!”

Fabian opened his eyes and quickly turned his head to the right.

indeed!

I saw a large dot on the horizon at 3 o’clock.

My eyesight suddenly got better, and even though it was only the size of a tiny grain, it was clear.

Captain Althelm left the wheelhouse and ran to the bow.

“Well, that’s the island then! “Can we turn the boat to the other side?”

Elio asked as if confirming.

“It’s not Rhodes, right?”

“yes! Where we are is the Demon Sea. “There is no such thing as an island here.”

“All right. Turn the boat around and get out of the demonic waters.”

“Yes, yes!”

Captain Althelm returned the way he came with an excited look on his face.

Elio shouted to Fabian, who was clinging to the auxiliary mast.

“Fabian! Come out with Count Omar! “If I’m late, I’ll go alone!”

“yes!”

But Fabian never went to the cabin.

This is because Count Larva Omar came out onto the deck at the same time as Fabian answered.

Just then, the magic sailboat took a sharp turn.

Elio immediately performed fortune telling as Count Larva Omar and Fabian stood on his left and right.

White clouds gathered around the bow.

The collar flapped violently in the strong wind, but the clouds did not disperse.

Elio strides into the cloud.

Soon, the cloud carrying Elio and his party floated above the magic sailboat.

Sightseeing sailor Thoth took his eyes off the telescope due to a strange feeling.

‘huh? what?’

Thoth looked around and said, ‘Uh!’ An exclamation burst out.

Count Lagoa and the northern nobles are in the white clouds?

No, to be more precise, Count Lagoa and the northern nobles were gently flying up into the sky on white clouds.

Thoth, thinking he had seen something wrong, rubbed his eyes with both hands.

But no matter how many times I looked at it again, it was the same.

When Fabian made eye contact with the watchman, he grinned and waved.

Thoth waved his hand at them absentmindedly and then shouted as loud as he could.

“Where are you going!”

Instead of answering, Fabian pointed to 3 o’clock, the direction in which the clouds were moving.

After hearing Thoth’s cry, the sailors’ eyes all turned to the sky.

The sailors’ mouths widened as they belatedly discovered the white cloud.

Soon, fog began to rise from the sea at 3 o’clock.

The abnormal weather has begun.

“I’m not leaving!” “The fog is rolling in!”

The sailors no longer showed interest in the White Cloud and the northern nobles.

This is because it is obvious that if the current high waves and abnormal weather conditions are combined, the ship will capsize.

Captain Althelm, who became impatient due to the cries of the sailors, even activated the magic engine.

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

The fog followed relentlessly as if trying to catch the magic sailboat.

Just before the stern of the magic sailboat touched the fog, a strong wind blew from somewhere and the magic sailboat was glided forward.

Wow!

As the magic sailboat got farther away, the fog gradually diminished.

The sailors, who found out late that they had escaped the abnormal weather, jumped up and down and cheered.

“I survived!”

“Wow! “I thought I was going to die!”

After a while, when the excitement subsided, the story of the northern nobles came out.

“What happened to the northern nobles?”

“You went on a cloud.”

“If the weather changes, there will be a storm soon, and I don’t know if the clouds will hold up.”

“Everyone will die.”

“If the northern nobles die, won’t we be ruined too?”

“I see. “Fuck.”

The atmosphere of joy at being alive soon became heavy.
