9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword - Chapter 182
Episode 182
Episode 69. To the East (5)
Omir, who knew Natalie and Yuma, could not refuse to board the ship.
Omir sat still on the boat and looked with mixed feelings at the evil horde in front of him.
Among them, Yuma, who was smiling happily while leaning on an ancient wolf of ridiculous size.
After Omir was assaulted by him, he had closed his business in Haseo and set up a new home in the east.
‘But why is that person in my life again…
Omir also heard rumors that Natalie and Yuma suddenly became lovers on the day he met him. That the names of Yu Ma and Poin, Barmal and Cornedine, were pseudonyms.
Afterwards, I knew that the rose society was absorbed by Yuma because Natal Lee explained it before boarding the ship.
Therefore, to Omir, Yuma was the scariest person in the world. To the point where I couldn’t even dream of retaliation or revenge.
“Hey Omir “Yes! Miss Yuma!”
Contrary to his heart, Omir smiled broadly at Yuma’s call and rubbed his palms together as if anxious.
“Thank you for putting me on the boat. If what happened to me last time remains in your heart, I will apologize.”
“Aigo or not? Never mind! I also think that thanks to Yuma-sama, I got a good place in the East…
“Hmm. Thank you for thinking so.”
Omir laughed awkwardly and sweated profusely.
Tulka was in a good mood and was smiling, showing her fangs, but to Omir, even that looked like a threat.
“By the way, do you see… a woman’s business? It’s not just about trading.”
Yuma inspected the iron grates among the boxes containing the trade goods. Inside, half-naked women bowed their heads.
“Ah yes yes! That’s right. Eastern women are very fond of Western women.”
“Um, I see.”
“I wonder if Yuma-sama is interested too…
“He’s very interested.”
“oh! Is it the business side or the use side?”
“Business and use. Your vocabulary choices are very interesting. Where did you get those friends from?”
“These days, the Helga side slave market is the best supply. In this market, Ran is the best.”
Omir thought that Yuma had a crush on him, so he started talking loudly.
Although he is a fearful person, he was also a person with good ability enough to seize Natalie.
There’s nothing wrong with being friendly if you use business as an excuse.
“…So, if the wealthy or nobles buy the slaves from Helga’s mercenary corps, I buy them back and bring them back. I’ll let you know the details once the boat starts. You seem very interested.”
“I should have beaten more then.
The day I first met you.”
yes?”
Yuma’s fist hit Omir lightly in the face. Of course, it was only light punches for Yuma, but Omir felt the pain of breaking his head as if he had been hit in the face with a hammer.
prostitution drug trafficking.
It was an area that all merchants with money and no conscience should touch at least once.
Yuma wasn’t even in the position that he had to kill all the merchants who were running such an ugly business.
However, it was Yuma’s personality to swing his fist once something unpleasant was happening in front of him.
It was a slightly different matter from a sense of justice.
Besides, any bastard who portrayed the war as a business boom deserved a beating.
“Kuhuk! Mr. Yu Yuma!”
“There are many other ways to make money in the world. It’s none of my business what you do, but I don’t want you to see it.”
Cog and Igor watched Yuma’s behavior with casual expressions, as if they were used to it.
Ballinan was intoxicated by Yuma’s power, and was admiring himself.
“Yes, Omir. Wouldn’t it be right for small people like you to do bright things in the yard of Eulagan, Yangji, the largest dark road in Haseoguk? The rose society doesn’t sell people anymore.”
Natalie helped Yuma from the side.
Catherine was already hammering the lock on the grate with her sword.
kang! With each sound, heavy locks fell onto the deck one by one.
The women who were imprisoned did not respond much, as if they had no intention of coming out even after seeing the iron bars open.
“Omir, did you take the medicine?”
“Why are you like this! Kuck!”
Yuma grabbed Omir by the collar and lifted him up. Omir’s bodyguards, who had a history of being beaten by Yuma in the past, did not draw their swords.
Omir stomped on his feet, floating by the tremendous strength. I could see the sea roaring inexorably beneath my feet.
“Uh uh! Mr. Yu Yuma! Wrong!”
“I asked if you took any medicine.”
“I bought these women already! Kahak! Help me ten…
Cheolpuddeok. Yuma threw Omir onto the deck and kicked him like a ball. Omir groaned as he rolled across the deck.
In the end, the women who almost fell into slavery were left on the island of Mus Icahn. Omir would suffer huge losses, but Yuma didn’t know.
Ballinan went to the chief of Mos Icahn and asked for the protection of the women. The village chief treated him like a god as soon as he mentioned that he was a ‘contractor of the Spirit King’.
It wasn’t that he said so, but the village chief and everyone around him really bowed their heads toward Ballinan.
“This small creature promises to the contractor of Igmeseus. Please don’t worry about the safety of these poor women, and please give the blessing of Meseus to the land of the East again. Brach!”
“Brah!”
“Ah… Contractor! Brach!”
The village chief and the islanders exclaimed ‘Brah’ toward Barinan.
“Okay. Brach!”
Brach was a spirit word meaning ‘the wind will raise you’.
It was also the only elemental language humans could pronounce.
“Is being a contractor of the King of Spirits an acceptable position in the East?”
“I told you I could give my brother the East. It doesn’t work in all countries, but many countries in the East worship Igmeseus as a god. I don’t know his real name, though.”
It was Ballinan who had a high nose for the first time in a long time.
There is no gold spoon like this. In the West, he was the youngest son of Kyle’s 3rd family. In the East, he was a contract holder for the King of Spirits.
Yuma was amazed at the man named Ballinan who had become an idiot even with such a good background.
Fortunately, that mentally poor friend respects him very much.
No matter how you look at it, he was a boy with a lot to suck on.
But Yuma didn’t know.
From the beginning of the trip, Ballinan will be included in the heartbreaking hardships of Yuma and the others.
‘I’m sure we won’t run into something like a goblin shark again, right?’
I was oddly anxious. Thinking that Yuma had become nervous for a while because of seeing the slaves, he set sail.
In the meantime, Omir was squatting on the other side of the deck, his face swollen as if he had been hit by Catherine as well.
Yuma pulled out a bottle of sake from a box of trade goods and went to him. It was beet drink.
“Don’t feel too bad, Omir. If the logic is that it is okay for a powerful trader to sell anything, then I can just throw you and yours at a slave dealer.”
“Hehe…
“Let’s have a drink. Anyway, thanks for the ride.
It’s true. Oh, how about doing some business with me in the east?”
“Black! What business is it?”
“I’m kidding. Why would I do business with you? Come on, get a drink.”
“I’ll let you pour the alcohol.
Have you been wanting to have a drink of mine since the days of Haseoguk?”
It was Natalie who had come to her side before she knew it. She also told Omir’s bodyguards to bring a simple snack.
Omir politely accepted a beet drink from Natalie.
“I’m sorry I hit you too. I just hate buying and selling women, so I stop without realizing it.”
“No…
Omir emptied his glass, and Catherine came over and refilled it.
“This is Cheryl. I’m a healer, but I don’t want to treat people like garbage that buys and sells women. If you swear you won’t do it again, I’ll heal you later. Get a glass.”
Cheryl filled Omir’s glass again.
“Sorry…
“Fat, just take a drink from me. Do you have the guts to try to trade slaves in the East?
If I had continued, I would have died soon after. Thank you brother.”
This time it was Ballinan.
He briefly explained to Omir the dangers of auctioning slaves in the East.
“It’s a cog. I feel like I should follow suit.”
Squeeze. gulp!
“This is Igor! Will you accept my drink too? ha ha ha! Getting hit by Yuma-sama isn’t necessarily bad.”
“Kreur…
” “Tulka said to have a drink too. I will follow that.”
Like that, a drinking party naturally broke out in a corner of the deck.
Omir, immediately drunk from the drink he drank in succession, grabbed both of Yuma’s hands and complained.
“Sobbing! Miss Yuma and Miss Natalie. Black I was ruined. Ruined….
Why do you keep making me ruin….”
Yuma offered Omir a few more drinks, and he collapsed and fell asleep before two hours had passed.
The drinking party that started like that showed no signs of ending even as the night went on.
Tap, tap, tap…
In the corner of the deck where the party sat in a circle, ‘Capua’, a fire spirit summoned by Ballinan, set fire to the air. It looked like a bonfire floating in the air.
“It’s a beautiful night…. Tonight I will make sure to compose a poem before going to bed and read it to you tomorrow.
I’m very happy that I didn’t get seasick this time. God bless our trip.”
Having said that, Igor opened his mouth and couldn’t take his eyes off Capua.
Drinking on the boat was quite tasteful. The party had a good time, offering drinks to sailors passing by once in a while.
And then their second ordeal onboard the Goblin Shark began.
Rurr-r-!
Patter!
Out of nowhere, dark clouds rose and thunder and lightning struck the otherwise clear night sky.
It wasn’t enough, and a storm began to hit.
“emergency! emergency! A storm broke out!”
“Everyone on deck, please go back to your cabins! Sailors tie the trade goods box tighter!”
The storm continued for three days and three nights.
The party barely managed to get out of the cabin and ended up barely sleeping in the damp cabin.
Moisture, moisture, and moisture.
Ballinan tried to summon Capua by walking around the party’s cabin, but it was almost impossible to summon the fire spirit when the energy of the water was so strong.
“Ballinan. How can you not do something like this with the power of the Spirit King?”
“It’s not his job to get involved in Mother Nature, brother.”
The wind and rain were so strong that by the end of the day everyone except Yuma felt a little bit seasick. Igor, in particular, was dying of severe motion sickness again.
When the storm finally passed, the sky was clearer and clearer than ever.
“At times like this, it seems that nature is very mysterious. It seems as if the three-day storm was a lie.”
After a long time, the party came up to the deck and dried their damp clothes in the pouring warm sunlight.
And that evening, Yuma’s impression of Mother Nature, which was ‘mysterious’, suddenly changed to ‘fuck you’.
Mother Nature was capricious.
Chuhuaaaaagh!
“Aagh! Yu Yuma hyung! Everyone!”
“What is that again!”
The sea, which had turned violent like boiling lava, created a huge wave like the tongue of a god and was about to swallow the boat they were on.
