How To Survive as a 10000 Hour Freebie Pirate

Episode 97

##097

The Going Mischa moved along the floating line road between the Duchy of Brittany and the Serang Empire.

“Damn it, it’s filthy narrow.”

Compared to the floating ship roads in other areas, it is narrow enough that the Going Missha, which is considered a small and medium-sized ship, can barely pass through the sea.

In the first place, it may be natural since floating ships that travel on land are treated as small in the sea.

“excuse me… Captain. Something ahead is approaching… … ?”

Radarman Totttori hurriedly reported.

It looks like a floating ship because the signal is small and weak.

“Ana… All in all.”

It was also a place where two ordinary wooden floating boats could not pass each other.

When they encountered each other, one ship had to back up to a slightly wider area to get out of the way.

“There is nowhere to escape… … .”

If this wasn’t a principality, they would have expanded the road, but the Serang Empire opposed it.

Because it has to serve as a buffer.

Do-do-do-do… … .

The ship that appeared in front of me was also quite bewildered.

It must be because the floating ships that normally go there do not go well.

I stopped for a while and did nothing, then the communication came in.

[We need to go for two hours. so… … .]

The reason for the blurry end seems to be a request to get out of the way.

Unlike the other side, the road that the Going Missha came from is roughly 30 minutes backwards and you will come to a wide road.

They are floating ships that mainly operate here, so of course they know the way well.

“after… It’s just that the angle comes out… just stay still let it pass.”

[What are you talking about? Where is the place to pass through such a canyon… … .]

“Wait.”

Ryan started rubbing his fingers on the controls, gently moving them back and forth.

Drurrr

The ship vibrated and tilted left and right.

The width got bigger and bigger.

Drurr~ Drurr~

I moved left and right along the U canyon and eventually climbed up to the wall.

It was like watching half-five, a snowboarding event in the Winter Olympics.

On the other floating ship watching it… … .

“what… is that?”

“Isn’t that the new battleship that the Serang Empire is making?”

It was a shocking scene for them, who had lived on a floating ship for a long time.

“No matter how new it is, it will be that… … ?”

“Rather than that, why did such a ship come all the way here? If you follow this road, you will come to the Serang Empire… … .”

“Oops!! Such a good way to build a network… opportunity… cast… … .”

“I already missed it.”

After the Going Missha had already left… … .

Weiyiying!

I thought it was, but I was back in reverse again. And with incoming communications.

[Ahh. I almost forgot. Is it the top of the backsucking? with regular flights between Serang and Brittany.]

“It is an honor to know you. With the intention of working hard to become a lion… ah… A very useless word. Anyway, it’s worth working hard. however… honor… … .”

The owner of the upper house was talking gibberish.

I just saw something so amazing. It was because a high being who had performed such an amazing eccentricity suddenly spoke to him.

[This is Count Lian Leon.]

“… … .”

The upper caution’s head was filled with buffering for a while.

I thought I knew all the noble families of the Thrang Empire, but I had never heard of Count Leon.

Then, something suddenly came to my mind.

“that… Here in the County of León, Duchy of Brittany… … ?”

[that’s right. This body is Count Leon.]

Even with Lian’s confirmation, the upper class was still confused.

It was the first new battleship I had ever seen, so I thought it was a high-ranking person in the Thrang Empire.

[I’m thinking of buying some stuff in bulk soon. Could you stop by after the regular upsurge? I’m giving you a request when I run into you.]

There was a larger corps than the Baeksuking corps in the Duchy of Brittany, but Lian was annoying to contact.

The schedule might not fit.

From nob le mt l. com

Just in time, a top with a floating line appeared. It was, of course, the top that I knew again. Rihanna, of course.

“that is… That’s a floating ship… can go… no. I will definitely go, even by mobilizing a carriage.”

Baeksuking was a big top in Brittany, so he personally did not deal with the Count.

If you go to the empire, you hear the sound of a countryman, but here in Brittany, it was still a little known.

Because they had land floating ships, their main business was cross-country trade.

[I’ll open the way, so you can come by boat.]

“Is there a road in that direction?”

[ah. It’s not a perfect path. I’ll clean it up a bit so you can come slowly. The coordinates… … .]

Lian remembered the trail mentioned when negotiating with the king.

In fact, when I was playing the game, I had many times playing inland, so it was difficult to even see floating ships in the beginning.

That’s why this trail is also useful. It remained, even faintly, in my mind.

“yes! I wrote it down. We will unload quickly in the capital and drop by right away. dismissal!”

[Oh oh. If yes, thank you. Then~]

Communication is so cut off.

Drurrr

It was a new type of ironclad ship that was rapidly disappearing.

As soon as they left, the members of the Baeksuking’s upper ranks felt like they were possessed by a ghost.

“Is it really Count Leon? Your voice seemed young… … .”

“I know… I heard that the succession war is still going on… … .”

Still, the news of the country going back was not dark because it was a merchant company with enemies in Brittany.

“Isn’t it collateral? Seeing that they are riding such a battleship, it must be that the Serang Empire intervened… … .”

“Right. It’s strange for a single count to ride on such a battleship. let’s hurry Let’s quickly unload our luggage in the capital and go to Count Leon. Looks like you need to get along with Count Leon. This. It’s our chance at the top.”

Baeksuking Sangsanju left with great expectations.

Every time I was pushed out of the Empire by networking, wouldn’t it be possible to build a bridge if I do well.

There’s no way that ship belonged to Lian. I thought that a high-ranking official from the Thrang Empire was on board.

However, the real network was a merchant who did not know that Lian himself was.

* * *

The Going Misha, which was moving along the floating ship road, stopped.

“Uncle navigator. Did you find it?!”

“It is not easy.”

It’s a path that even Rihanna knows, at least roughly.

Because the Duchy of Brittany was a place where it was easy to cross over to the Serang Empire through the sea, it was a place he often used.

However, there was a difference between playing while looking at the map in the air and moving on the ground.

“Here. No matter how you look at the land road, you can’t get used to it.”

While Lian was negotiating with the prince, the navigator asked the palace for a map of the area.

Unfortunately, it was not listed in the map booklet provided on the Going Missha.

Originally, the map was not leaked because it was a military secret, but since Lian was the ruler of this area, it was taken out of course.

Because it was the local lords who gave maps to the palace in the first place.

“No one on our ship reads maps as well as you do, so don’t whine.”

If the map was not made deliberately and with money from the state, there were many cases of severe errors.

Of course, the map you are looking at now was also the latter.

In this case, intuition was important.

Although the navigators may have specialized in charts, they had a basic knowledge of the topography.

The place where plates meet becomes a mountain range, and the mountain range connects to the ground like a seam line.

Even if you don’t learn this context. Even if you don’t understand. People who have been digging and buying maps for a long time feel synesthesia.

In particular, isn’t this a peninsula protruding from the West Sea where navigators were active?

“Seriously, this map is gross. It’s a mess who made it this way.”

“I think it must be one of my ancestors. Or do you want to live next door? If you go to the county’s house, there will be a more accurate map.”

Lian smiled and moved the Going Missha.

First of all, I had to calculate the shortest distance and move roughly.

go here go there If you do, the floating ship at the top of the Baeksu King that follows you after seeing the trail will also get lost.

drooling.

If you were going to move alone, you could have moved moderately, but the problem is that you have to make a way for general floating ships to go.

Wow! Wow! Drooling!

The Going Missha moved as if it were crawling on the ground by lowering its buoyancy as much as possible.

In the aftermath, trees were snapped and rocks were crushed or uprooted.

[Don’t handle it too hard!! Baby shark~ How hard is it to apply the lower part!]

A call came from the engine room.

Perhaps the sound is worse because it is located at the bottom.

“Ah, at this point, it’s good to scrape off the barnacles. I think it’s almost time to repaint it.”

[Still, this is too ignorant! The soles will all break down.]

The bottom of the boats of the floating ships operating in the sea was red, because the color of the chemical paint that prevents sea creatures from sticking to them was red.

It is not a one-time painting, but should be painted periodically.

“I’ll give you plenty of time when we arrive at the manor.”

After saying that, I went through the Lululala Forest Road.

In the place where the Going Missha passed, a temporary road was created to allow ordinary wooden floating boats to pass.

“Seo Eon-nim!! Something caught on the radar.”

A radar that detects magical phenomena.

“It wouldn’t be a floating ship in a forest like this.”

“yes. Judging from the size and sharpness of the dots, it seems like a small town.”

Radarman Clever already knew this empirically.

It was because I saw the villages caught on the radar when I moved from the Principality of Nerder to the Sinsenrom Empire.

Due to the learning effect, it seems that he is now becoming a full-fledged radar soldier.

“hmm… It’s just the right location.”

It seems to be perfect for an outpost where the upper ranks can come in and out.

Drurrr!

The Going Misha immediately turned slightly and headed for the village.

Because it approached so quickly.

-Uhhhhh~!! It’s a monster!!

– The mountain god was angry.

-That’s not a monster, it’s a floating ship.

– Chief. I haven’t heard of any metal floats.

The village was small and the people were simple.

Originally, it was a slash-and-burn village, but it wasn’t long before it was incorporated into the Leon county.

Hard!

The Going Misha stopped in front of the village entrance.

People didn’t know what to do, and eventually fell flat on the floor.

If it was the power of a person on such a boat, even if it was not his own territory, he could take it like the life of a fly.

Snuggle Geek!

On the Going Misha, the planks hit the ground.

A little boy came down there proudly.

“welcome. You are a noble person. Why did you come to such a barren village?”

The village chief also fell on the ground at the entrance of the village and shouted loudly.

It was an old man with completely gray hair, but his body looked uncomfortable.

“Stop getting up. The ground is still cold.”

Spring is still far away.

Come to think of it, how much money would it cost to fill all the palaces of the Duchy of Brittany with flower gardens?

Lian’s mind crossed the images of those who looked needy and the extravagance there.

‘I should have stepped on it more.’

Incidentally, those flowers were for ornamental purposes and could not be eaten or used as fruits, let alone medicine.

“thank you. You are a noble person. bump. May I ask for your honor?”

“I am Count Lian Leon. I am your lord.”

“… … ?”

The village chief, who had risen from his seat, hurriedly raised his head.

It is a bonus that the villagers who were still lying on the ground raise their heads at the same time.

“female… Meet the lord!!”

In fact, they couldn’t even see the faces of the former lord, let alone the lord’s family.

It was the same with the village chief.

How could the village chief, who had been a slash-and-burner until recently, know the face of the lord?

‘Which one?’

However, is it the older brother who is in trouble for the village chief? are you a brother is to do

Even villages nestled in the mountains knew that the territory was in a war of succession.

“Is this all of the villagers? The number of people is less than the number of houses.”

It was all taxes.

This was the village of the slash-and-burn people who went up to the negotiating table with the king.

“I’m sorry, but it is. Lord. Because it was promoted from a slash-and-burn citizen to a normal village… … .”

If you have to pay taxes anyway, the benefits of living in a slash-and-burn village will disappear.

Those who had the slightest idea left the village and went to the city to make money.

“If you get in touch, tell them to come back.”

“If it is the lord’s command, I will do so. They are evil people who recklessly migrated, but please… have mercy… … .”

Originally, it was illegal to move without permission from the lord.

It was illegal to set fire to this place in the first place, but the previous count showed his own mercy.

Of course, there was also an intention to receive taxes.

“i get it. What about life instead?”

“Thanks to the care of the lord, we are living safely.”

“What dog grazing. I asked what life was like. tell the truth.”

In other places, Lian used to use honorific words even for commoners, but here he acted a little high-handedly.

It is all nonsense that the people are naive and kind.

Even if in reality the people are naive. There are villains everywhere.

If you hear rumors that you have a soft heart, all kinds of swindlers will gather from all over the Yul continent.

“That is… The village’s manpower continues to drain… It is also tight for farming.”

“okay? Then stop farming. What is farming in a mountain area like this?”

The village chief was at a loss for what the lord would ask him to do.

Even if they were told to do something that didn’t work, the weak had to follow.
