All Power Wizard Part 2 Tower of the Demon God
Episode 061
In response to Commissioner Viktor’s unexpected words, I asked.
“huh’? “Aren’t you asking why I came back so quickly?”
“I can guess. “Isn’t it because of the Eastern Continent?”
“Yes, that’s true, but… …
“I expected it. To be honest, I guess I could say I’ve been hoping for it a bit.”
“You wanted it?”
“As I said, I don’t believe in the Eastern Continent. However, the people here are different. Most of the sea people in the Mazeros area believe in legends about the eastern continent… … . They still risk their lives and go out to sea to find the East Continent. Every year, dozens of people are unable to return to their hometowns, and history continues to repeat itself. “It is a bond that must be broken.”
“I understand your desire to break that bondage, but… … . “Even if I pay attention, it might not make a difference.”
“Even so, it doesn’t matter. But, strangely enough, I find it trustworthy. “Tap owner, you always find the right answer, right?”
It’s a bit burdensome.
“First, you should meet the captured stranger. I’ll have to hurry up a bit. “The hanging is scheduled to take place in a little while.”
“Hanging?”
“Sea King Brox, the head of the Majeros Federation, shows no mercy to pirates. A little bit like a pirate
If anyone was suspected, no one could avoid being hanged. “First of all, you must convince the Sea King.”
If you are hanged before you even meet the stranger, everything is over.
“Please follow me.”
Irene and I, under the guidance of Commissioner Victor, moved to the Sea King’s outpost near the Big Island.
It is a natural fortress that defends against pirate invasions at the forefront, and hangings were often carried out here.
It’s a kind of example.
“What kind of skull… …
On the road leading to the outpost, white bones, believed to be those of pirates, were on display.
I am warning you that if you have a bad mind, this will happen to you too.
Just by looking at this, it was clear what kind of personality the current King of the Sea had.
Irene spoke in a worried voice.
“Perhaps persuasion may be more difficult than you think.”
yes.”
fire
The steel lord who rules the eastern sea.
My first impression of him when I actually met him was consistent with what I expected.
He has a double-edged ax on his waist and a crossbow on his back.
His rugged build is covered in tattoos, and he has a strong appearance that doesn’t seem to show any mercy.
“Are you the owner of the tower?”
“That’s right. This one wants to marry me
promised… …
“My name is Irene Prius. “It is an honor to meet the King of the Sea.”
“Nice to meet you.”
Sea King Brox.
From his voice, you can guess how cold and condescending he is.
He spoke to the soldiers inside.
“Everyone stay out. “I will only talk with the tower owner and his wife.”
“yes!”
Commissioner Victor and the soldiers left the place.
however.
When only the King of the Sea and us were left in the office, he turned into a completely different person.
“I’m sorry if you felt offended because of my insincere greeting at first meeting.”
“… “yes?”
“I have heard about the tower owner’s bravery through his subordinates. Because of the pirates who took advantage of his difficult situation and tried to usurp his archipelago, he was unable to participate in the Battle of the Humans and Demons and did not have a chance to meet the Top Lord… … . like this
“It is a great honor to be able to meet you.”
“Oh, yes. I am… …
Why did people suddenly change?
As for the reason, the King of the Sea revealed it himself.
“When leading a group of bad-tempered sea creatures, there are many times when even the slightest sign of weakness is not tolerated. This is because I want a strong and ruthless sea king rather than a human Brox. So, I have to show my strong side at all times.”
“It was rude in many ways.”
“no. “I completely understand how you feel.”
That’s why you sent the soldiers out.
The image of the steel sea king seems to have been created out of necessity.
Looking at it this way, even the scary look seems a little cute.
“I heard that you were looking for me because of a pirate who was captured in the harbor a week ago.”
“Yes, it is.”
“I wonder what happened. Please speak comfortably.”
“Could you please stop the hanging for a moment?”
At my words, the Sea King hesitated for a moment.
It seems like a difficult request.
“It’s my first time seeing you, Tower Lord, but you deserve respect just for protecting our soldiers on a faraway battlefield. So, I am willing to accept any request you may have. Give me gold and I will give it to you, give me a boat.
I will give it to you. But, it’s not as good as that.”
“May I ask why?”
“For the reasons I mentioned earlier. I am a sea king who must be strong in front of my people, and pirates are unforgivable enemies. “We cannot show mercy even while reversing our promises to the people.”
“I am not asking you to avoid being hanged. Just trying to confirm whether they are real pirates or strangers. “Wouldn’t it be too late to hang someone after the truth is revealed?”
“… … The truth? “What on earth is the truth?”
The Sea King’s voice rose slightly.
“Not a pirate, but a foreigner? “You mean the absurd truth that the Eastern Continent might actually exist?”
“… … The Sea King doesn’t believe it. “I heard that most people in Mazeros believe it.”
“I believed it. At one time I really believed it fervently. Discovering a new continent. Because of that desire alone, I spent several years wandering at sea. But my father was stoned in the sea.
You couldn’t come. Do you understand now?”
Father… … .
The previous sea king went missing on his journey to find the East Continent.
The son, who realized the cold reality while singing about romance, denied romance and became a monarch of steel.
I nodded.
“I’m sorry for causing unnecessary pain.”
“… … no. I really apologize for raising my voice. It’s already been 20 years, but the pain still doesn’t go away
“It doesn’t seem like it.”
“How about taking this opportunity to let go of that pain?”
“I will meet that stranger. Whether it’s a pirate or not, I’ll make sure to find out. If he is just a pirate, I will apologize and give up. But he wondered if he was really a stranger from the Eastern Continent… …
My gaze turned a little more serious.
“My father’s faith in finding the East Continent was not in vain. “Isn’t this alone worth the walk?”
The Sea King’s expression became complicated.
“This is something that no scholar or wizard has ever been able to accomplish. “Can you really check?”
“Yes, you can.”
“Even so, the hanging time cannot be overturned. Instead, we will allow you to meet. There are only about 20 minutes left. 20 minutes. “You’ll have to see what you want in there.”
“thank you.”
I got up from my seat.
If we can just meet before we die, that’s enough.
“I will definitely prove it.”
* * *
Commissioner Victor was purely impressed.
“You were allowed to meet a pirate… … . How on earth did you boil that strict sea king?”
“Unfortunately, I couldn’t bake or boil it. “All I’m allowed to do is simply visit.”
“That’s also great. “In Mazeros, no one will meet a pirate who is about to be hanged except the jailer.”
We moved along the high wall road to the pirate camp on the outskirts of the outpost.
However, many residents were already gathering in the square in front of the outpost.
“Stop dragging your feet and get started!”
“Let’s kill the pirate right now and hang him in the square!”
“Kill! “Kill it!”
Everybody watch a pirate get hanged
They were people who gathered together to do this.
My steps became faster.
“I need to hurry.”
“yes.”
As I entered the camp, a guard began to take the lead, as if there had been an order from the Sea King to lead me in.
It didn’t take long for the guard to point to the cage where the stranger was being held.
“It’s over there.”
“I might be wary if a lot of people suddenly come in, so I’ll go alone from here.”
“Go ahead.”
I cautiously approached the bars.
Inside the cage, a man with no sign of life, as if he had starved for several days, had collapsed.
He must have been beaten quite a bit when he was caught, and his body is covered in bruises.
he is… … .
Pababat!
Perhaps he was nervous about my sudden appearance, his eyes widened and he retreated towards the wall.
I nodded, lightly raising my hand to reassure the man.
But the man still didn’t seem to let his guard down… … .
I spoke carefully to this man.
“it’s okay. “I am here to help you.”
You probably won’t understand anyway… … .
But, was my meaning conveyed?
The stranger seemed to let his guard down just a little.
Could it be that you understand what I’m saying?
That means that it is really a pirate acting.
I carefully cast the language conversion spell.
“%$*s*shi!”
As light leaked out of my hand, I covered my face with my arm along with an unintelligible cry.
However, this is not something you can avoid just by trying to avoid it.
The light enveloped the stranger’s body in an instant… … .
I opened my eyes.
This is because the incomprehensible words shouted by the stranger naturally flowed into my head.
-What are you doing to me?
It is certainly.
This man uses a language of a completely different system than us.
It’s not a pirate language, it’s really a language used on the Eastern Continent.
However, one question arises
“By any chance, do you understand what I’m saying?”
—Joe, a little…
That two-way conversation is possible.
How on earth is conversation possible?
I asked.
“how?”
-Bae, I learned… … .
You learned it?
To whom?
But the stranger was actually asking me questions.
-But how do you understand me?
It was then.
“It’s time to move up.”
The guards who were to carry out the hanging approached the iron bars.
