The World-Class Extra’s Walkthrough - Chapter 169

Episode 169:

Departure

I smiled.

“Uh huh, where are you running away? “You promised me that you would join the ichthyosaurs, right?”

But there was no answer from Whik.

“Keueook….”

He must have never expected me to attack him from behind, so he fell to the ground with foam in his mouth.

It was natural for the pirates to immediately pull out their swords as the captain fell.

Chachaechaeng!

“This is crazy!”

“How dare you dip the captain?”

“I’ll tear it into pieces and make it into fish food!”

The deck captain, Cax, was away to caress the night-tang, which had become a night-tang.

The three people, the navigator, the chief engineer, and the helmsman, were looking at the ichthyosaurs together by Whik’s side.

Among them, the navigator ‘Parol’ had similar fighting skills to Captain Whik, so he was quite dangerous.

But I didn’t care.

Just throwing out one word was enough.

“Now then, who among these will be the captain?”’

“…!”

“…!”

At that moment, the pirates’ eyes began to shake.

It had a simple meaning.

-The captain’s seat is empty…!

-I could be the captain!

-Finally, this opportunity!

This is one iron rule that pirates have.

‘If the captain dies unexpectedly, the crew can take the captain’s position through struggle.’

In the world of pirates, the captain’s authority was very strong and absolute, especially when at sea.

Therefore, if the captain’s position was vacant, great confusion was inevitable.

‘It’s similar to the monarch of a country suddenly disappearing.’

Therefore, they are trying to establish new authority as quickly as possible.

Unless there is a battle situation, the pirates immediately start a fight on board to determine the strongest among them and appoint that person as captain.

“….”

But there was a problem.

A huge ichthyosaur slowly approaching from a distance.

The point was that it was slowly growing due to a route that had not yet changed.

‘It’s not a combat situation, but that doesn’t mean it’s not urgent.’

In other words, it is an ambiguous situation.

And I took full advantage of that.

“Now let’s do it like this. “I will choose a captain.”

“…?”

“If there is anyone who has the guts to get as close to that ichthyosaur as possible, please come forward. “I will nominate him as captain.”

Then the pirates’ expressions became cruelly distorted.

“What on earth is that crazy?”

“What are you! “How can you do anything other than support our captain!”

“Land Saenim is going to appoint a pirate captain? “This is the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard!”

They were waving their scimitars and giggling as if they were going to attack them at any moment.

So I sighed.

You haven’t figured out the situation yet.

If so, you should help me.

The method was simple.

“…Osorma.”

“Is it training time again?”

“No, subdue everyone this time. “Tell everyone who the real owner of this ship is.”

“I will take orders.”

The moment Osorma Tanik understood what I was saying and sent a hand signal.

Susssseu.

The knights inside and outside the cabin moved in an instant.

Unlike at the dockside earlier, there was no such thing as ‘moderately’ this time.

“Hey!”

All the pirates standing on the deck had their swords pointed at their faces.

“How dare you…! “Kaaaak!”

Some who resisted without notice had their wrists cut off right away.

Of course, you can apply healing magic, but it will probably tingle whenever it rains.

“Are we staying still?”

“I already knelt down!”

The henchmen who had experience of being hit with sword sheaths by knights on the dockside calmly raised their hands.

It took less than 30 seconds to get here.

With this, the Red Lightning Pirates would all know for sure.

‘I mean, I’m the actual ruler of this ship.’

The face of the navigator, chief engineer, and helmsman, who belatedly realized the situation, hardened.

“Damn it…”

If I had been anchored in a port, I would have jumped into the sea and swam to the dock to escape.

The ship had already left the land for a long time.

So the pirates were like rats in poison, and I was a tiger playing with the poison.

‘This is why it’s important not to look down on pirates.’

“What on earth do you want from us?”

This was what Navigator Farol said as he threw the scimitar he was holding onto the floor.

“I should have told you already.”

I had no choice but to say it again.

“The captain who will take me to those ichthyosaurs.”

It’s not Whik who’s been sprawled out with crab foam at the mouth….

“What I’m saying is that we need a captain who has the guts to take care of his share.”

“….”

* * *

“Full speed ahead!”

Parol became the ‘temporary captain’ of the Red Lightning Pirates and was giving orders to the crew.

I felt a little strange looking at that.

‘Temporary captain…?’

On this ship, the navigator was no different from the vice captain.

Parol’s inaction was not much different from Captain Whik’s, so there wouldn’t be a big problem if he decided to become captain with my support.

But unexpectedly, Parol said that he would become a ‘temporary captain.’

“Now that our captain is not dead, we cannot engage in a fight without permission. So I can’t accept your offer either.”

“Hmm.”

The captain’s struggle itself was rejected with quite plausible logic.

However, Parol agreed that a captain was needed and took on that role himself.

And the excuse was this.

“I’m doing this because it’s hard for us, the Red Lightning Pirates, to tolerate being dismissed as a bunch of gutless bastards.”

“…?”

“That doesn’t mean I’m going to get my share!”

…aha.

‘So you meant to say that you want to make money, but you don’t want to become a bastard?’

Why are you spinning around so much when you can just say it in simple words?

“I understand. “Everyone is like that!”

I patted Parol on the shoulder and showed him an adult smile.

“But it’s good to always be faithful to your desires. Humans are originally ‘desiring machines’. “You know what I mean?”

“Yes? “I’m a machine?”

“….”

I said something meaningless.

Anyway, thanks to this ‘temporary captain’, the Red Lightning Pirates’ steamship began to move smoothly again.

Accordingly, the ichthyosaurs visible in the distance were getting bigger and bigger.

I looked at it and swallowed dry saliva.

“…That’s amazing.”

Because the appearance of that ichthyosaur was once again astonishing.

First, a triangular head is visible below sea level.

And its size was literally beyond imagination.

The triangular shadow cast below the blue sea level was as grand as if it had been cut down and buried in the mountainside… The

two eyeballs flashing and fluttering ceaselessly in the middle of it looked as if two large searchlights had been planted below the sea level. It was so bad.

But that wasn’t the problem.

‘If you wait that long, I think you can feed tens of thousands of people?’

There were 10 legs that rose above the water and moved smoothly and flexibly.

However, it was so large that the bell towers in the square seemed to be alive and moving…

It was so massive and heavy that you could feel the pressure just by looking at it from a distance.

“…Yes, it’s a squid.”

However, because it was so huge, it was indescribably scary.

In fact, it was understandable that Captain Whick tried to backtrack.

An ichthyosaur in the form of a squid…

To be honest, it was completely unexpected even for me.

The ichthyosaurs I experienced through the original game had very similar shapes.

‘Something that comes to mind…’

Shark, whale, flying fish, tuna, and puffer fish.

‘…Then there are about 5 things?’

It’s strange.

I’m sure these aren’t the only ones living in the sea.

Strangely enough, I have never seen or hunted any other form.

Of course, if you think about it from a game perspective, it was a very natural thing.

< The God-forsaken World > is just a game anyway, and there are definitely limits to the monster designs that appear in a single game.

Therefore, it was impossible to embody all the monsters that thrived and mutated into countless different forms as if they were a real ecosystem.

but.

‘…This world is different.’

This was a real world, alive and vibrant.

The evidence was that squid ichthyosaur.

I no longer had any doubts.

‘Because among the memories Gilroshan left behind, there is also information related to that squid.’

Gilroshan devoured all kinds of books without Tirvaen’s knowledge.

Surprisingly, he even had knowledge related to that.

…To put it bluntly, our academic community’s knowledge about the so-called ‘ichthyosaurs’ is nothing but trash.

A typical misunderstanding is that these monsters are called ‘ichthyosaurs’.

The ichthyosaur-type monster does not just have the form of a fish.

Rather, it is the author’s opinion that it can take the form of all life forms that exist in the sea…

– Elgric Semeyer, looking at all the knowledge about the ichthyosaur-type monsters of the present era.

‘…Elgrik Semeyer?’

He seemed to be a scholar, but his name was unknown to me.

In any case, Giloshan, who liked this scholar’s writings, read a huge amount of books and papers written by him and accumulated knowledge.

Thanks to this, I was able to see that the giant squid was not that strange.

Even the usefulness of Gilroshan’s memories did not end there.

I was able to apply my knowledge of the game here.

‘…There are many other monsters that have the form of squid.’

Perhaps one of them has a similar pattern.

No, I had a feeling that it would most likely happen.

That’s how the world worked now.

“….”

A strange feeling again.

‘Only 10% of that guy’s memories have been transferred…’

Nevertheless, it was quite useful and was providing me with unknown insight.

It was interesting.

When Gilroshan was imprisoned in the prince’s palace, he read not only ‘Elgrik Semeyer’ but also many other scholars’ books.

‘So what happens if synchronization progresses further in the future?’

I was feeling both fear and anticipation about the moment to come.

And it was the same for those squid and ichthyosaurs.

“Huh…”

The helmsman’s hands, holding the steering wheel of the pirate ship, were white and shaking.

In fact, all the pirates on the deck were frozen with their heads up.

Ten tentacles moving across the blue sea as if a gigantic nightmare had materialized.

Even I was a little sick of the sense of wonder and fear that came over me.

It was then that temporary captain Parol shouted:

“ruler! That’s it! I can’t go any further! “Rather beat them all to death!”

“….”

“I’ll drop the boat off now! “You guys go on your own!”

At those words, I quietly nodded.

“Okay, there’s no need to go any further from here.”

Then Parol nodded furiously and tried to instruct his men to launch the boat.

But I blocked it.

“No, that’s not necessary either. You just have to fold the mast here and wait.”

“What are you going to do?”

I called Kermal Carmodo, leader of the Blue Flame Knights.

“Shall we be ready, sir?”

The old man grinned as if he had been waiting this whole time.

It was a laugh too ordinary to be made in front of an unrealistic landscape.

But I laughed the same way.

“Yes, get me ready.”

…Why you can’t compare unicorns and horses as a means of transportation.

This is because the unicorn can run on places that are not ‘ground’.

“Everyone sortie!”

“sally!”

The Blue Flame Knights, riding unicorns, jumped into the blue sea at once, accompanied by powerful spears.

This was the beginning of the giant ichthyosaur raid.
