69. The secret of Island #32 of the Blue Bird Islands (1)
The island was located in the Blue Bird Islands in the North Sea of the Hufester Allies.
About a hundred large and small islands look like flocks of birds migrating in flocks, giving them the pretty name Blue Bird Islands, but they were not suitable land for human habitation.
The archipelago is not easy to move inland as there are frequent rainstorms, lightning strikes and falling rock fires, and the current is rough to the nearby sea.
Therefore, it had no value as a military area let alone a residential area. In fact, the Blue Bird Islands were used as a low-level tourist destination only in winter, when lightning strikes were less common.
Those who own islands in the archipelago are mostly commoners who dream of ‘owning an island’, romantics who want to impress their lovers with ‘the act of gifting an island’, or scammers who try to imitate rich people by purchasing islands at a bargain price. border.
The ‘contractor’, presumed to be Joshua’s, was traveling between the Hufester Alliance and Island 32 of the Blue Bird Islands every day.
“It must be that the place he goes is an island, so he is exposed to the compass.”
The new compass, which Jin and his colleagues stole after six months of hard work, does not reveal the exact location of the contractor.
If there are 20 contractors in the Hufester alliance, 20 red dots form in the center of the Hufester. Exactly where the 20 contractors are staying in Hufester is unknown.
However, the case of the island was different. Even in the land where the Hufester Alliance is located, if the contractor is not inland but on an island, a red dot will appear in the middle of the island.
Confined to the islands, the compass was able to track the contractor more completely.
“That’s right, Bocchan. The only time the red dot moves within Hufester is when the contractor is looking for an island. Now that the island has been confirmed to be under Joshua’s borrowed name, I think we need to look into it.”
“It’s highly unlikely that it’s a coincidence.”
“Yes.”
“First of all, tell the Seven Birds to keep an eye on them. He also asked me to find out information about the Blue Bird Islands. If you go right away, you might incur suspicion on the contrary.”
“Does Joshua know anything about the compass?”
“I don’t know. But we can’t rule out the possibility that he’s colluding with Kingelo or Zipple, so it’s okay to be a little cautious.”
“Do you think it could be a trap?”
“It’s not thin. If Joshua is in a state of collusion with the forces that know the compass, he will know that there is a superior search effect limited to islands. So it could be that the compass stealer is deliberately trying to induce me to find him.”
“Then, for the time being, we will just keep tracking trends. And let’s send some of the turkeys to the Bluebird Islands. We won’t put it directly on Island 32, but we’ll ask you to find out the atmosphere nearby.”
[Miyaa.]
After the conversation ended, Shuri rubbed her body against Gilly and acted cute. Shuri seemed to like Gilly very much, and as soon as he came to Tikan, he used to show her aegyo.
“Oh, you are so cute. I was surprised at how big it was at first, but the more I look at it the more I like it. By the way, do you really intend to give this child the surname Runkandel?”
“Well, there’s also the Butterfly Runcandel. Shuri Runkandel feels good.”
Then, Murakan, who transformed into a cat, climbed on Shuri’s head and hugged Gilly, and Jin naturally grabbed Murakan by the scruff of the neck and put him down to the ground.
“And from today, construction on my room will begin. Because Shuri is a bit cramped to live with.”
“Well, it would be frustrating if you were only in the red prison on a regular basis.”
pop!
Murakan canceled his transformation and his eyes sparkled.
“Then, can I share the same room as Strawberry Pie until the construction is finished?”
“What nonsense are you talking about all of a sudden? Why are you sharing a room with Gilly?”
“Is that so? Won’t my room be extended? I feel a bit cramped these days.”
“Even if the construction of your room is under way, how many vacant rooms are there in this mansion, how would you and Gilly share the same room? Get out, you son of a bitch.”
Murakan, who had transformed into a cat again, swung his front paw Pababat and hit Shuri on the back of the foot for no reason. And Shuri licked the entire Murakan with her big tongue, and then started rolling it around like a ball to play with.
“Put pooh-up.”
Seeing that, Gilly laughed, and Jin shook his head.

A month has passed with all of my colleagues working hard on their assigned duties or focusing on individual training.
And the contractor of the Blue Bird Islands pointed to by the compass had not yet left the place, and Jin decided to visit it himself.
“At this point, whether it’s a trap or something, I’m curious, so I’ll have to go. It sounds like you’ve been pretty careful.”
It was judged that the possibility of a trap was low.
Externally, Joshua was the next head of Runcandel. To say that Joshua is in collusion with Zipline Kingelo would be an overstatement. That means most of the Garden of Swords has defected.
However, that would be impossible as long as Shiron kept his eyes open.
They couldn’t be close enough to share key information like the ‘compass’, unless they had a few spies that seemed plausible to each other.
“Is it okay if I take Murakan-sama with me? If it is a trap, there may be some danger.”
“Even if that’s the case, the Blue Bird Islands aren’t part of the Lutero Magical Federation, so if it’s necessary, you can ride Murakan and run away. Shuri is there too.”
It was extremely dangerous to fly on a dragon in the Lutero Magic Federation, the land of Zipple, but the situation was different in the Hufester Alliance.
Unless it is known or wanted as a dragon of Ziffle, the whole country does not try to kill or capture it alive unless there is an act of attack.
In addition, in the case of Jin, there was no problem at all even if it was known that there was a person flying on a ‘black dragon’. Even though it was unofficial, it was because Murakan had already been acknowledged by his father Shiron, who was the most powerful person in Hufester.
“Wouldn’t it be nice to take Quikantel too?”
“To that extent. You seem busy teaching magic lately, but the two of you will come back quietly. I hope the construction will be finished by the time I return.”
That’s how Jin and Murakan Shuri headed for the Blue Bird Islands.
Since I had to go around the Hufester, I paid more attention to my disguise than usual. Shuri was encased in red jade made from necklaces, while Jin and Murakan both dyed their hair blue.
“Geumseoljok things are really good. Shall we talk about this to Sir Casimir and start a business in earnest? I don’t think it will be difficult to secure the goods.”
“It will make money.”
It took three days to pass through several transit gates (Murakan vomited throughout the ride) and arrive at Nazca Port, the closest port to the Blue Bird Islands.
There were already turkey crews in the harbor who had docked fake trading ships. Naturally, the trading ship carrying the party set sail at night and did not go directly to the Blue Bird Islands.
It would be difficult if you went straight and got caught by the tail of the turkey when there was a problem later. In addition, most of the islands are closed because it is not the tourist season in Cheongsae Islands right now.
With the port completely out of sight, Jin and Murakan decided to swim into the archipelago in the darkness of the night.
The compass I brought before leaving the trade ship confirmed that there was a contractor on Island 32 and sent it back to Tican.
[Miya!]
It was Shuri’s job to swim.
Jin and his colleagues had admired Shuri’s extraordinary mobility ever since they returned from the Black Sea, but that mobility was not limited to land.
Crack-bang Crack-bang…!
Shuri moved smoothly through the rough waters unique to the Blue Bird Islands. Thanks to this, the two were able to reach the Blue Bird Islands without getting wet in the sea.
They arrived at Island 7.
“Finding island number 32 must also be work.”
“It’s night, so let’s just fly and find it. How many years have you been wandering around like this?”
Since there was no guide, it was difficult to know what number 32 of the hundreds of islands was. Just when I thought I might pass the night looking for island number 32, Shuri started drawing on the sandy beach.
[Miyamiya.]
What he drew casually with his claws was, surprisingly, a map of the archipelago.
“her.”
“Hey, you had a strange talent with hairballs. Have you ever been to this island before?”
[Nyan.]
When she was a cat in the witch Heluram, Shuri traveled a lot to unexplored lands. There are hundreds of maps that I memorized naturally in the process.
Of course, over the millennia, the map of the world has been constantly updated according to changes in topography, but fortunately the Blue Bird Islands were pretty much what Shuri remembered.
It is so sophisticated that there is almost no difference compared to the paper map I brought with me.
“This is Island 32. can you find it?”
Jin pointed to the map and said.
[Mia.]
Shuri nodded.
“You really need to save. Let’s go, Shuri.”
I was able to find island number 32 right away.
Island 32 was one of the smaller islands in the Blue Islands. Similar in size to the uninhabited island of Bement, where they had a decisive battle with Andrei in the past.
I sent Shuri back into the red prison and immediately started reconnaissance.
Around that time, it started to rain. The vicious weather unique to the Blue Bird Islands began to welcome the two.
Urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…!
Thunderstorms tearing apart the bleak darkness and strong winds blowing uprooting the trees on the island are a bonus. Because of the environment, not even a small private house could be seen.
“What kind of weather is this fucking right?”
The moment Murakan grumbled and frowned, Jin suddenly felt a strong vibration spreading from his waist.
“Oh kid. your sword. Why is that all of a sudden?”
Beacon sword Sigmund.
The divine sword of the Myeongwang clan, which was given by the fighting god Ban, is resonating with something.
When he unearthed the sword and examined it, an unknown pattern appeared on the entire sword body.
“…Don’t you know?”
“Wait, this pattern. Where have you seen Is it Faytel’s pattern? No, it’s a little different from Paytel’s…”
Kwajijik!
The lightning that had been striking all the way engulfed a giant tree right in front of the two of them. The giant tree shattered as if it had been hit by a bomb and collapsed mercilessly. And the next moment.
What came into the group’s field of view was a towering tombstone.
The same pattern that had appeared on Sigmund was also shining on the tombstone.
“This is the grave of a god!”
“what?”
“Now I get it. Little four swords…”
As he was about to say, Murakan and Jin both opened their eyes at the same time.
A swordsman for Jin.
Wind-type magic flew into Murakan. Jin swung Sigmund to cut off the sword, and Murakan spread his aura to block it.
‘They are them!’
Kuzan and Veris. The hounds of Timune Marius. I was sure before I even checked his face.
However, just as he was about to counterattack, a sharp thunderbolt flew through Murakan’s aura shield this time. It wasn’t natural lightning, unlike the one that killed the giant tree.
It was the lightning formed by Faytel’s contractor Yulian.
