The Place Where I Was Sold as a Slave Was the Imperial Palace - The Place Where I Was Sold as a Slave Was the Imperial Palace chapter 183

182 Spirit is stupid

Nanda Nanda Nanda Yes!

See, see, see!

Nanda Nanda Nanda Yes!

It’s fun to fly while singing.

Jumbo flew over the open sea while flapping his ears.

[You’ve been given a mission! Jumbo Mission Enforced? Suaeng? Anyway, that’s it!]

The dragon made its body transparent and flew, then abruptly called out from the side.

[Perform.]

[know! Perform! That’s what I was trying to say! Even Jumbo knew!]

[…]

The dragon doesn’t seem to believe. But really. I knew it, but I just forgot.

[Jumbo, you’re going too far.]

[huh? Is it over already?]

[It just ended.]

[Um… but I can still fly more.]

[You haven’t forgotten the master’s words, have you?]

[I know! It just flies from here to there!]

[…]

Jumbo was a little sullen.

The mission is good. It’s good to play hide and seek, but the mission is to help the master. better

So I want to do more, but the owner seems to be worried that Jumbo will go too far and never come back. I decided that I should only go from here to there.

‘There’s no need to worry.’

Jumbo can go anywhere as long as his master calls him. It was made that way.

[Dragon! Let’s go a little further!]

[…]

[huh? huh? huh? Jumbo wants to help Master.]

[ha.]

The dragon sighed and said as if it couldn’t be helped.

[Then, just a little bit.]

[huh!]

Jumbo hurriedly flapped his ears. You have to fly far, far, farther before the dragon changes his mind.

When the wind fluttered in his ears, the dragon spoke in awe.

[You came all this way in an instant. You’ve come too far. Let’s go back.]

I thought the dragon couldn’t follow me because I couldn’t see it.

It made me a little depressed to think that the dragon was right next to Jumbo even though he was flying so hard.

[I get it. Jumbo is a man who keeps his promises.]

It was the moment to say so. Something sparkled in the distance.

[huh?]

Jumbo’s tail suddenly started spinning. I’m not turning it on purpose. just going back

[master! master! come!]

I was so excited that I shouted all the time, and I heard the dragon’s cold voice from the side.

[If you shout from here, the master won’t hear you.]

[know! I know! But you’re happy! The mission is over!]

[It will be completed.]

A nag.

Jumbo pouted and tilted his head.

[By the way, dragon, you call me master when you’re not around, but why don’t you call me master in front of you?]

[Tsk, cheeky, you.]

[Are you talking?]

Wow, Jumbo was taken aback by what he said. read the mood I can read that jumbo is also an atmosphere.

[I am so amazing!]

Ears are buzzing.

[ah!]

Jumbo moved his legs as if he were dancing in the air and spun around.

[mission! mission! I forgot the mission!]

When the ship appears, you must return to the owner as soon as possible. It’s not good to show off. If you make a mistake, you take the boat and return. No, is the ship spinning? I’ll go anyway Jumbo might get scared and run away.

[Let’s go home! Let’s go to the master! Can’t get caught! I’m running away!]

[Yes, yes. Okay, so stop talking.]

Hearing the dragon’s voice right next to him, Jumbo eagerly flapped his ears again.

Thinking of being praised by the owner, the tail keeps spinning.

[It’s thin! It’s thin! Too thin!]

[…shut up.]

[Dragon has no mercy.]

[That tone.]

The dragon said in a muttering voice. Jumbo’s face widened.

[okay! It’s my mom’s talk! my mom says this so cool! I decided to follow along too!]

If you go to the owner, you can see the mother too. If I get praised this time, I want to fly with my mother on my back as a prize. As I thought so, my ears suddenly jumped up into the sky.

[awesome!]

let’s hurry Let’s hurry up and put Mom on the back. I’m so glad!

***

The sailor’s eyes narrowed as he climbed the watchtower of the ship and looked everywhere. I think I saw something.

“…”

not over the sea Something seemed to be floating in the sky.

Besides, it’s shining… is that an elephant?

I couldn’t see the details because it was far away, but it seems to be similar to the elephant statue I saw before.

‘No, that’s strange.’

For a moment, I thought it might be a bird, but quickly shook my head saying it couldn’t be.

The bird is not that big and shiny. Even though it was far away, there was no mistake about its size. Even after all this, I’ve been living in the sea since I grew up. It was definitely bigger than a bird. Besides, birds don’t flap their wings strangely like that. It wasn’t a bird movement.

‘But it can’t be an elephant.’

An elephant is an animal that walks on land. don’t fly What he even saw was an elephant made of light.

Suddenly, I remembered the sound of my colleagues laughing.

It is said that barbarians believe in the spirit of light. That a messenger from God came down to earth for humans.

‘But there really can’t be such a thing…’

I tried to see a little better, but the glitter quickly faded. As if my eyes were mistaken, it disappeared in an instant.

The sailor pondered for a moment, but it was too clear to dismiss it as an optical illusion. You will have to report to the boatswain first.

The sailor came down from the watchtower in a hurry.

Run across the deck avoiding objects, lines, and working crew members.

Where the boatswain was, people were noisily gathered.

‘What happened again.’

The sailor frowned slightly. Nothing good happens when people gather like that.

As I approached, I heard the scraping voice of the boatswain.

“This guy stole drinking water despite being a slave. If you were a sailor, even you savage people would know what kind of punishment a guy who touched drinking water would receive.”

As they made their way inside, a savage was captured by the sailors. Behind them are a group of slaves from barbarian ships. Everyone was blue.

‘A fool.’

The sailor clicked his tongue inwardly.

When you become a sailor, the first thing you learn is not to touch your food.

Touching food or drinking water was one of the greatest sins on board. In particular, when they touched drinking water, they nailed their hands with nails to immobilize them and then starved them to death.

If you live as a sailor, you will definitely see such an appearance at least once. He said this was already the third time.

The boatswain received a whip from the person next to him.

‘Are they even whipping me for being a slave this time?’

Sailors tied the savage to a pole.

When I applied strength to the top that looked like a piece of cloth, the already tattered clothes were easily torn.

As his wounded body was exposed in the sunlight, the boatswain raised his whip high and struck it with all his might.

With a clack, a clack, the snake-like whip hit the skin and climbed back up. Each time his skin was torn by the whip and blood was seeping out.

The savage screamed and shouted.

“Spirit, merciful spirit of light, please save this life.

The slaves who watched the savage beating knelt on the floor and began muttering prayers.

Spirit, Spirit, take this life away.

I earnestly pray that you will lead this pitiful life to the kingdom of God.

Merciful Spirit.

Spirit, spirit of light.

The boatswain’s eyes turned fierce.

“shut up!”

Whips fell over the heads and shoulders of the slaves.

But the slaves did not stop praying. He sighed with a scared face.

‘The spirit of light.’

Maybe that’s what I just saw.

The sailor trembled involuntarily.

If he had witnessed the spirits these people believed in, if the spirits really existed, what would the spirits think of the humans who served them being persecuted like this?

I suddenly became frightened and looked around stealthily. There was nothing in the air.

The boatswain seems very upset when his threats do not work. They hit and trampled the slaves at random, and threatened to kill anyone who spoke the spirit.

The frightened slaves barely calmed down.

The boatswain took a deep breath and turned around.

The savage who had stolen the drinking water had passed out after being flogged.

When the boatswain pours seawater into a wooden barrel and sprinkles it on the body of a savage, he wakes up. The salt water touched his wound and he groaned as if it were painful.

“Bring the nails!”

At the shout of the boatswain, one brought a thick nail and a hammer.

The boatswain put the savage’s hand on the pole and put the nail on it.

The sailor looked no further and turned his head.

The boatswain was threatening to drive in nails like this to anyone who mentioned the spirit even a word.

“…”

The sailor gave up his intention to report and headed back to the watchtower.

I brought up such words for no reason. If the boatswain looks wrong, the future will be painful. On the one hand, the very mention of spirits was scary.

‘Was that really a spirit?’

What if?

The sailor who climbed the watchtower looked around in fear.

Like savage slaves clinging to each other, the image of summoning spirits did not come off the back of my eyelids.

“How do you think it will be okay?”

At Rudy’s question, the captain in charge of the magic weapon test showed his teeth and laughed.

“Can I be honest with you?”

“…That’s nice, but gently.”

“hahahaha.”

The captain smiled bravely and nodded vigorously.

“It’s okay because it has the weakest power. Of course, one or two masts will be broken, but it will neutralize the enemy’s cannons without much damage.”

“…”

Is the mast broken?

Rudy looked a little demoralized.

Soldiers were carrying magic weapons in the gymnasium.

Mortars exploded with a bang on one side, and water cannons fired on the spot where the flames spread from the other side.

Located a few hours away from the imperial palace, this gymnasium is a place where magic weapons are tested and magic soldiers are trained.

The weapon the captain talked about earlier was a water cannon.

The magic tools used as mortars were replaced with only spells and magic stones.

Instead of the word ‘mortar’, use ‘water cannon’, and replace the word ‘mortar’ with ‘water magic stone’.

I simply did that, but water was shot instead of fireballs from the magic weapon. However, if the output is too low, there is no effect, and if it is moderately increased, the sail will break. The middle was difficult.

‘It’s convenient, but the power is too strong in this state.’

Still can’t help it. This was about adjusting the power to suit the situation as much as possible.

Imperial ships are equipped with both mortar and water cannons.

However, since the mortar is a weapon that uses fire, it was not planned to be used much in this war for the purpose of capturing ships. If you make a mistake, the whole ship will burn.

Besides, the mortar is a weapon that breaks down the walls. Among the four, even the weakest, it was too strong.

I thought about using it near a ship, so I made a depth charge, but when I exploded it in the sea, it was too powerful.

At least, the boat the ally was riding on almost capsized. I never dared to use it again.

Weapons are harder than you think.

As Rudy sighed, he heard the cheers of the soldiers.

When I looked up, I saw Jumbo flying in from far away with his ears flapping.

Levin looked at it and said it was strange.

“It’s always amazing to see it. How can you fly with your ears?”

‘Well, it must be because it’s a children’s cartoon.’

Rudy muttered to himself and smiled bitterly.

If it was enough to create something like that, then I think I missed the earth quite a bit when I came here as a child.

If you think about it that way, the way Jumbo chases Rudy like that is probably because he himself at the time wanted it.

Maybe Jumbo, who only followed himself, was what he needed back then.

Rudy looked at Jumbo eagerly flying toward him.

Jumbo flapped his big ears and flew nearby, shouting loudly.

[master! Jumbo wants to pick up mom as a prize!]

After shouting, Jumbo slammed his body down toward the floor.

bang! The ground hollowed out with a clatter, and a moment later, a jumping jumbo jumped out of the dust.

Jumbo comes running while spinning his tail like a helicopter. Jumbo’s nose moved back and forth like a fluttering wind puppet in front of the event.

[master! I’m going to pick up my mom and fly away! Fly high! I will go to the sky with my mother!]

Also, making this guy was a mistake.

A dragon appeared out of nowhere in the empty air.

[A boat appears. Jumbo came to report it.]

Seeing the dragon, the cheers of the soldiers grow even louder.

Jumbo seemed delighted when the soldiers seemed to welcome him enthusiastically. He completely forgot what he had come for and swayed and mingled among the soldiers.

[Hey hey ha! Hey hey ho!]

Singing a strange song, Jumbo danced among the soldiers.

Seeing that, the dragon spoke as if sighing.

[sorry. Because that guy is an idiot.]

Rudy laughed.

“Nothing. It’s me who made it, so if someone has to be sorry, I’m sorry.”

[That is also correct.]

Rudy and the dragon sighed without saying who came first.
