The Anti-Intellectualism Demon King’s World Invasion - Chapter 113

Episode 113

【 Invasion of the Goldtooth Pirates 】

Jungwoo let out a small exclamation of “Ah!” as if he got a hint from the trident and trumpet in my hand.

But soon he frowned and asked.

“The trident causes vibrations in the sea, so I guess you’re planning to create tidal currents with those waves?”

“Wow! Jungwoo. How did you notice that?”

“The captain used the trident several times. He even experimented with the water on his way here. At that time, I thought about whether it could be used as a propulsion force if used well. After roughly calculating, I think that you have to strike the trident against the water five times per second to have enough propulsion to push the Hallasan. First of all, a person cannot strike it five times per second, but even if he did, the waves would be almost 1m high and the Hallasan would be swept away by the waves and capsize.”

“Oh~oh! Jungwoo is amazing.”

I gave Jungwoo a thumbs up.

I thought that both Nurse Jang and Jeong-woo were thinking and worrying a lot about our community.

If we lead them well and utilize them well, it seemed that we could not only survive in a world submerged in water, but also create a community that would be better to live in than the previous world.

“That’s why I’m going to use this auxiliary method.”

“As an auxiliary means?”

I heard the trumpet blow.

“ah!”

As if he had gained enlightenment, Jungwoo struck his palm with his fist.

“That’s right. Theoretically, the wavelength of the trumpet sound could catch the vibration noise of the trident and focus the waves. But Captain, can you use the trumpet sound?”

“Yeah. Maybe.”

I picked up the trumpet and put it to my lips.

Sirens and mermaids are relatives.

The Aqua Monster Pokedex said that there was almost no difference in body structure other than the presence or absence of legs.

Besides, if the human Shinnaegi, who claimed to be the king of the Sirens, used the trumpet sound, there seemed to be no reason why I, the king of the mermaids, could not use it too.

But it would be impossible to breathe with human lungs.

I took a deep breath through my ear gills and blew the trumpet with all my might.

Breath went into the hole of the trumpet, but no sound came out of the trumpet.

Of course, there were no strong sound waves like a whirlpool.

“Did it succeed?”

Jinman looked at me with eyes full of anticipation.

I shook my head.

The disappointed expressions on the faces of Jinman and other people came into view.

At that moment, Jeong-woo handed me a water bottle as I was feeling embarrassed.

“Captain, isn’t it because there’s no water? You used to take a sip of water and blow it into the trumpet.”

“Oh! Okay.”

I took the water bottle and filled my mouth with water.

Then he put the trumpet in his mouth and blew out water.

But this time there was no sound, and water just leaked out of the trumpet’s hole like a broken faucet.

People looked even more disappointed.

Can’t mermaids use trumpets?

Or, strictly speaking, since I’m not a mermaid, I can’t use it?

But I don’t think that’s the case.

The trumpet sound stuck to my lips like a wine glass.

This is clearly a case of not knowing the product manual well enough to make it work.

Yeah, you can use it if you know how to use it properly.

“Well, it’s an experiment. An experiment is about testing possibilities. So it doesn’t always succeed.”

Nurse Jang said something to comfort me.

“Of course. There’s nothing you’ve tried so far that hasn’t worked out. Even monkeys fall from trees, so you have to fail at least once. Isn’t that right, hyung?”

Jin Man-do seems to want to join in the consolation, but why does it feel bad?

Bomi was a burden to me, openly.

“Hey, it’s okay. Jinman oppa. My uncle is the strongest MacGyver in the underwater world. I’m sure he has a plan B prepared. Just trust him and he’ll take care of everything! So don’t worry about it.”

Bomi spoke confidently, as if she had prepared a plan B.

But I didn’t have a plan B.

Do I have to do this myself?

But no matter how hard you row, you can’t move the boat without power, right?

Then suddenly, the smell of the whirlwind that Shinnae had created with the sound of a trumpet came to mind.

Oh! I made a rookie mistake, like trying to send an email without even plugging in my computer.

I wanted to quickly confirm whether my newly discovered usage was correct.

I jumped into the sea with a trumpet and a trident in my hand.

“Hey, brother.”

“Detective Kim!”

People were surprised by my sudden actions, but Bomi was very relaxed.

“It’s okay, sir. I’ve already gone with Plan B, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Whether it was the pressure of Bomi’s endless trust or the tension over whether or not she would succeed, the sea water suddenly felt cold.

My heart was pounding, but I had a feeling that this time it would work out.

I lowered my head and took a mouthful of seawater.

And he struck the trident into the water.

Then, a vibration occurred based on me, and radial waves spread out.

Now was the moment to decide whether the experiment would be successful.

He blew out the seawater he had in his mouth on the trumpet sound.

“Phew~!”

When the horn blew, it was not a broken horn sound like when the horn blew, but a proper horn sound, like the whistle of a train.

At the same time, a column of water swirled out from the trumpet sound.

The waves created by the whirlpool and the trident came together like warp and weft threads intersecting to form a fabric.

The combined waters created a rough spray and created currents.

It was almost the same shape as the currents used when going to Trash Island, but it was newly created and much more transparent and clean.

And the current was so powerful that you could see the flow of the current with your eyes.

If we just increased the intensity a little more, it seemed like we could generate enough power to move Mt. Halla.

“Is that a bird? Right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“If I could create a current, I could go anywhere since the world is underwater. This would be the biggest jackpot of all.”

“Wow! You made a teleport!”

The crew members on board were amazed and exclaimed in admiration.

Bomi spoke proudly, as if she had created the tide.

“See! What did I tell you? My uncle said he had everything planned out.”

My shoulders rose involuntarily as I realized the significance of the current I had just created.

However, there was still a lot of work to be done.

You should experiment with creating currents in different directions and even changing directions midway.

We also need to figure out how to control the strength of the current.

Hmm. It’s not as difficult as I thought.

Controlling the bird was intuitive.

Using the trident as a joystick and the trumpet as an operation button, I was able to roughly control the direction and speed with just the two of them.

Soon, he became adept at handling birds.

Now, it’s time for the next step: application experiments.

I tried moving the Hallasan lake with the tide.

From behind the Hallasan lake, he struck the trident with all his might into the water and blew the trumpet with all his might.

A tide suddenly rose up, like a lion raising its mane, and pushed against the Hallasan Mountain lake while spewing out foam.

Hallasan Mountain hesitated for a moment as if it would hold on, but soon began to move as it was swept away by the current.

I slid forward as if I was skating.

“Wow! It’s moving.”

“Viva!”

People who had been waiting in anticipation raised their hands and cheered on the ship.

Looking at them, I also smiled brightly.

That must be something to be happy about.

You must have felt the hardships and frustrations of sea travel on your way here.

Without wind, the sails were useless, and if the wind was too strong, the ship was in danger.

Even if you wanted to move by engine alone, you couldn’t use it freely for fear of running out of fuel, just like worrying about winter heating costs.

So, although the ride is uncomfortable and there are many things to worry about, riding the current is the best in many ways.

That bird wasn’t everywhere.

But now we can create that current at will.

It was like driving a car and the highway kept getting paved in the direction you were going.

The only problem is that it’s difficult for me to use the trident and the trumpet at the same time.

“Sir! Please speed up a bit.”

Bomi shouted at me as I was out of breath.

I was already exhausted from experimenting with creating different types of birds.

Jinman and Jeongwoo also said something each.

“Brother, you’re a little slow.”

“Captain, the wind speed is only a breeze. I think we need to increase the speed a bit to see any effect as a current.”

These kids are ordering us around like crazy, saying it won’t be hard for them.

Okay, let me show you properly.

Since you have to practice operating the current anyway, give it a try.

I rode the current and followed the Hallasan Mountain.

He struck the trident rapidly and blew the trumpet so loudly that his face turned red.

The currents became increasingly rough and violent.

The Hallasan ship raced forward powerfully like a speedboat.

And with the ever-increasing acceleration, it swayed precariously like a surfboard hitting a large wave.

“Whew!”

Even amidst the rough sound of the waves, the stomach-turning sound of seasickness could be clearly heard.

I continued to follow, fanning the flames with my trident and blowing my trumpet.

Since it was a current I created, I rode the current naturally, like a leaf floating on water.

If you lie on your back and swim in the current, you could swim all day long.

“Whoa! Brother, please save me.”

“Sir, stop!”

The kids begged me, but I didn’t stop the flow.

Learn a lesson this time. Hehe.

At that moment, Nurse Jang’s voice was heard.

“Detective Kim! Whoa! There’s a call from the apartment. I think it’s an urgent call.”

Hey! An apartment?!

I stopped blowing my trident and trumpet.
