I Became an Immoral Child in the Game

19 – 5-Godhead

*

After the secret conversation with Sir Lagral, time passed without incident.

As the maintenance of the master ship came to an end, Jin became restless.

[No matter how you think about it, this last test is too dangerous.]

“At most, I’ll meet an icicle dog or a small crab like a corpse, so what are you worried about?”

[If the devil wasn’t that special, I wouldn’t have been able to kill him even if three gods clung to it, and I wouldn’t have been sealed away in an unknown cave for over a thousand years.]

“It’s too much to worry about. Could it be that the demon king Moloch will personally come to the shore of Homeland and personally punish the human lighthouse gnats?”

[It might be better to meet the demon king Moloch. At least he kills me cleanly. If the day you meet even the highest level demon…….]

Jin continued after a brief pause.

[You will beg to be killed.]

Of course there is no lie in Jin’s words.

I fought myself.

I looked at Jin with a rather serious face.

From noble mtl dot com

“So what do you want me to do?”

[Stop the test right now. Originally, the purpose of taking the entrance exam is to buy time. We’ve reached our goal, so let’s stop at this point. If you lose your life, everything is useless.]

“You know you can’t do that. I don’t know if it was before, but I have a promise with Sir Ragnar. I can’t blow up the chance to give Kaniel a shot.”

[What on earth do you gain by doing that?]

“Resentment.”

Jin, who was silent for a long time, spoke as if she had given up.

[Yeah, I knew that. Don’t regret later.]

That’s quite the flag.

Isn’t this enough to curse that such a thing happen?

No matter how much Jin’s worries piled up, the entrance exam of the Human Lighthouse Team reached the end of the journey.

As the day dawned, all 14 candidates, including me, gathered at the port.

Those who remained until the end were no different from the human lighthouse knights.

Now, there is only one final gateway left.

The rite of passage of the Humanity Lighthouse, which goes up to Homeland to catch the devil and offer it as a sacrifice.

The faces of the candidates who were reviewing at attention showed the unconcealed fear and even more excitement.

“Mr. Deer Knight. The bathroom is over there. Don’t get tired of your pants.”

“Don’t overwhelm me on a good day.”

Barton and Amber would fight whenever they met eyes.

It was such a familiar scene that the other candidates didn’t want to do it anymore.

It was not Barton and Amber who fought every day that robbed the candidates, but the magic sailboat of the Human Lighthouse Corps anchored in the port.

This giant sailboat with three sails is powered by wind and mana engines, and its maneuverability and fighting power are unmatched by any other ship in history.

Even if not up to date, she was the pride and flagship of the Oxburg Empire.

The Humanity Lighthouse Corps owns a total of three master sailboats, and in addition, used twenty small sailboats to patrol near enemy ships.

Unlike the candidates who were full of admiration, I gritted my teeth and glared at the Mabeomseon.

Because that’s the black hole that’s punching a hole in the DeYevitz family’s finances.

In addition to the Keldarin Fortress of the Lighthouse of Humanity, which guards the threshold of the Gray Mountains, it is a pestilence that eats up a huge amount of gold coins every year with the momentum to dry the De Yewitz family to death.

It would be less unfair if it was effective in the war against the devil in the future, but in [Esteria War], The sea becomes useless as the sea freezes at the same time as the devil invades the south later.

Today, the candidates board the master sailboat and head to Paretta Island, an island near the enemy ship and the outpost of the Humanity Lighthouse.

And from there, we will transfer to a small boat and go up to Homeland, the land of demons.

Shortly after the candidates gathered, the five instructors and senior engineer Helga Sentle, who had shared the joys and sorrows of the candidates for the past three months, stood by the podium.

And Sir Ragnar, the lighthouse leader, went up on the podium to announce the end.

The knights were all wearing full body armor, just like when they first met.

They wore helmets down to their faces and covered themselves with the cloak of the Lighthouse of Humanity.

The design of a towering lighthouse was what the candidates wanted so much.

“As you all know, the Humanity Lighthouse has a long tradition and history. It started as a small coast guard in the southern part of Homeland, but today we serve the Imperial Family and the De Yewitz family and protect humanity from demons with the sword. It is a shield.”

Ragnar loaded mana on top of the platform and began his long instruction.

“However, our goal is not just to protect humanity! From the day we were kicked out of Homeland to the continent of Esteria, one longing from ancestor to ancestor is to restore our lost hometown again! That will has passed from generation to generation, decorating the end of the entrance examination for the Lighthouse of Humanity.”

Knowing the inside story of the Humanity Lighthouse, I laughed at Ragnar’s words.

It is a wish that has been handed down from generation to generation.

Which ancestor are you talking about?

All those who tried to protect Homeland from the devil would have become corpses and become the limbs of the devil without finding rest.

Anyway, it was a good tactic to beat the candidates who were blinded by the halo of the Humanity Lighthouse.

The eyes of the candidates twinkled like freshmen drunk at a prestigious university.

Ah, that’s pitiful.

“Today, the cadets go up to Homeland! There, we will slay the demons and offer them to the ancestors of the Lighthouse of Humanity, who have fallen asleep in the sea breeze, and show that your will is still going on!”

“When you leave by ship, you will be mere candidates, but when I return to the port after the ceremony, I will accept you as a member of the Humanity Lighthouse Corps and as a companion to fight the devil together. Good luck to you in your last test. !”

After Ragnar’s instructions, the candidates boarded the sailboat with the instructor knights.

The sailboat was crowded with supplies for the outpost of Paretta Island, lighthouse knights to rotate in rotation, wizards to move the ships, and candidates.

Some mischievous lighthouse knights salivated at the candidates like a newly recruited sergeant.

Anyway, most of them are sword users.

The instructor knights, who said that only those who proved their excellence by becoming sword experts at the Lighthouse of Humanity could apply, rolled their tails as they looked at them with sad eyes.

However, he couldn’t come close to the eyes of the instructor knights who were so sad.

“I’m going to die of glare at this rate.”

“I agree with you. I can’t go out recklessly seeing how much the senior drivers stare at me.”

Amber and Barton agreed after a long time.

Thanks to the affection and interest of the seniors, the candidates had a hard time even going to errands.

Of course, this was not the case for me, the eldest son of the De Yewitz family.

The knights were afraid to even make eye contact with me.

They were the ones who had firsthand experience of the fearsomeness of the De Yewitz family.

The candidates looked at me like that and envied me.

According to the instructor, if the wind blows well, it will take about ten days to reach Paretta Island.

“Is that true?”

During one lunch, when the smooth sailing continued along the waves, while eating, Barton talked to me.

“What?”

“It seems that monsters do not live in the northern sea. I am afraid of demons. Is that true?”

As he said, monsters did not live in the Northern Sea.

Perhaps he instinctively felt the natural disaster called the demon king, he never even came close to this side.

Thanks to this, the fishermen of Lighthouse Village were able to fish more safely than any other sea.

At this point, it’s believable.

Is it so hard to believe that demons exist?

Maybe he was from the southeast, close to the capital, so the devil seemed like a distant world.

“I heard that the iron horse started to run in the capital, Oksantium. In such an era, the devil is an old story.”

“Well, that’s right.”

Compared to the central and southeastern regions, the north was no different from a rural village.

It goes without saying that the central region is the capital, and crops are abundant every year in the southeast region thanks to the ash that falls moderately and the vast plains.

Since the only gateway between the Oxburg Empire and other continents was in the southeast, they were accumulating enormous wealth through transit trade.

It was indeed the lifeblood of the empire.

If it weren’t for the class system, Barton Wigner would have no reason to claim to be a knight in the far reaches of the countryside.

“But if I were to question how an iron carriage could move?”

“…….”

He looked at me with a puzzled face.

“Yeah, that’s the look I want to make. Wait calmly. Even if you don’t want to believe it, you’ll have no choice but to believe it when the devil is right in front of you.”

“……I wonder if it’s true. Damn, I made a bet with Amber!”

“I guess you bet on none?”

“That’s right. Amber seems dubious as well, but she seems to have guessed that there’s no need to make a fuss about catching monsters.”

“How long did you walk?”

“Ten thousand libra.”

“……What?”

This time, I became a face that had lost my sense of humor.

Ten thousand gold coins?!

That money was enough to buy a fancy mansion in the Oksantium, the capital of the Oxburg Empire!

A luxury mansion with a vineyard in the southeast is also a ridiculous bet?

“Well, it’s just a bet for fun. I don’t have that much money. Even Amber wouldn’t have made a bet with the intention of extracting all that money.”

Barton didn’t seem to care much about it, like a bet he made as a kid, but that was because he didn’t know Amber Cutter.

In 「Esteria Electric」, Amber was a huge mistress.

She jumped in to rebuild the lighthouse of humanity, regardless of money.

Barton seemed unaware that her own nose had been cut with a stone.

I comforted him by putting my hand on his shoulder with a pitiful look on his face.

This will probably suck him down to the marrow.

Poor thing.

In my next life, I will be born in a world without Amber.

With all my worries about Barton, the boat sailed smoothly towards Paretta Island.
