The Death Knight Became an Escort Knight for the Saintess

37. Voyage of the Blue Osprey (later edited)

37.

There were only a handful of onlookers at the alley pier. No wonder. The fact that the boat is tied to the pier in the alley means that there are not many users and has been pushed to this place. There are only relatively few ships tied up. Even the boats at the docks in such an alley have to loosen the ropes that restrained them.

About 4 out of 10 times the rope gets untied, so it’s hard to say that the number of untied is insignificant. It’s not really something worth seeing. But nonetheless, they had to watch.

The boat that is now being untied has been tied here for 15 years. The sight of the ship untying the ropes was watched by onlookers with a look of bewilderment rather than admiration. A human male shipowner shouted.

“Old Man Panbano-! What are you doing-?!”

“Don’t you know it when you see it, you idiot! We are preparing to depart!!”

When the ship owner heard that, he made an expression as if he had heard that the seawater had dried up. Other onlookers nearby made similar expressions. The ship owner asked again.

“No… Departure? What the hell… Why do you want to set sail?!”

“Why! As a sailor, that’s what you’re talking about! What’s so strange about a captain launching a ship!”

The ship owner shut his mouth. It’s because there’s nothing to say about the theoretical words. When the human shipowner shut her mouth, the female elven captain standing next to her shouted.

“Then are you planning on going around the nearby sea at least once?!”

The old gnome’s answer to that was a bitter cry.

“What are you saying-!! If you’re just going to go around the neighborhood and come back, why do you prepare to sail! You idiot!! What is the departure to Jagoro? I’m actually leading the current to another port! You guys don’t even know that because you’re a captain or a ship owner!!”

The elf woman also had the same expression as the human shipowner from before. One of the young male troll sailors opened her mouth cautiously.

“Old man… So you’re saying you’re going to sail alone… ?!”

“What kind of mojiri bastards decided to come! I didn’t even know the mast of the ship, so I decided to let you know!”

The onlookers made faces as they heard that it was not enough that the seawater had dried up, and that the wind had also disappeared. They each thought hard about who the hell was the author of moving the blue osprey after 15 years. No matter how much I thought about it, when I couldn’t come up with a suitable person, Panvano shouted.

“Here I am!”

The few onlookers all turned their heads to the direction the old man had pointed out. There were two opposite figures standing there. Very tall, very short. Male and female The onlookers, who at least had associations with seasoned seafarers of old age and age, didn’t know what to say at the completely misguided expectation. Panvano looked at the two and gestured roughly, as if he didn’t care about them.

“If you come, move quickly! I need to get you guys home quickly and get five hundred barrels of rum!”

Esilia giggled when she saw old Panvano still treating her with the same attitude. Zer Pied also shrugged his shoulders a little and strode on board.

“Is it all burnt out!”

“Yes!”

Esilia answered with a lively voice like a saint. Zer Peed nodded her head. After hearing the answer, Panvano untied the ropes that tied the boat together without even looking at the two passengers. After releasing the ropes, Panvano unfurled the sails. The white sails on the three masts showed off their elegance. After preparing to sail, Pan Bano stretched out his body almost to the bowsprit and shouted.

“Goodbye! You motherfuckers!! Thank you for drinking with me for 15 years!! Now… ….”

At the right time, the wind blew softly. The sails, which received the wind after a long time, boasted their strength. Slowly, the seasoned giant began to move.

“We are leaving-!!”

Like a sailboat, the blue water eagle, receiving a favorable wind, proceeded to harm her current at a speed that did not match her large body.

Onlookers stared blankly at the fast-moving Blue Osprey as if laughing at them, saying that the rough scratches on the wood were not worn-out wrinkles, but evidence of experience. They were making expressions as if they had seen a scene in which an ancient existence, which had only been heard of in legends, came to life.

As soon as the blue osprey on the horizon shimmered in the field of vision like a haze, everyone burst out laughing. They ran to the tavern as if they were competing. It was because he had to be the one who preoccupied the snacks that could be eaten for at least five days. For today, they were fortunate that there were no passengers.

–

“Wow… ! Wow… !!”

Celia leaned her arms against the railing of her deck, unable to keep her mouth shut. She is on a boat she has never been on, and on top of that, the blue sea that fills her field of vision. There was nothing in her that did not arouse admiration. A few seagulls flew by on the wind and met the eyes of the saintess of innocence and passed by.

Ecilia greeted her gulls by waving her hands in her gulls with her cackling cries. Pan Bano then looked at Celia and burst into laughter at her clattering laughter.

“How is it! Isn’t that amazing-?!”

“Yes!”

Cilia burst into her cheers and jumped in her place. Seeing the sea in the middle of the ocean, which he hadn’t seen in a long time, Zerpied looked around with new eyes. Panvano came into Zerfied’s eyes as he looked around.

Panvano took off his coat and was inspecting the sails. Not befitting the wrinkles on his face, Pan Bano’s body, like his own belly, was packed with tight muscles. Zerphied, who was looking at such a Panvano in a different way, met his eyes.

“Huh? What?! What are you going to do?!”

“Ah… That’s because it seems like you haven’t made a full statement yet.”

At Zer Pi Ed’s words, Pan Bano snorted as if he was ridiculous. The muscular old man cleared his ear once.

“I ask this very quickly. My name is Pavano. What are you?”

“My name is Huchi. That girl’s name is Gemini. Please take good care of me, Mr. Panvano.”

Pan Bano snorted once again. After checking him out, he patted his palms.

“Jal freezes to death. There’s no such thing as ‘well’ until you get five hundred barrels of rum. This big kid But for what reason do you guys go all the way to the Eastern Continent?”

“Hmm? Oh, that’s….”

Zerpied was taken aback for a moment. He couldn’t think of what to say. The original reason was to go find the equipment left by the former contractor in the eastern continent, but I couldn’t say it straight away. Panvano looked at Zerfied, who had been silent for a while, and burst into laughter.

“Ah, I see. Is it like a honeymoon?”

Zerpied felt as if something was about to explode at those words.

“… What? No. We just… !”

“Ah, ah. All right, all right. No need to talk hey, that’s good I had good times like that too.”

Zer Pied hurriedly tried to make an excuse, but Pan Bano waved his hand and blew it with a nearby water bottle. Not even a living death could stop the old sailor, already drawn to his own conclusions. Zerfied sighed in an inexplicable feeling. At the commotion between the two, Eccilia approached her while tilting her head.

“… ? What are you doing?”

As soon as Jer Pied saw her, that strange feeling of hers ran through her body again. The Death Knight had to quickly send her back to where she was originally looking.

“No, nothing. Gemini.”

Looking at these two, Panvano still giggled. Seeing that, Ecilia tilted her head once again. Jer Peed held back her sigh, and she just threw her gaze out into the wide, wide sea, letting the incomprehensible feeling slip away.

–

Captain Panvano was so engrossed in his work that he would not even pretend to hear when he was called, but it was at the time of the evening when the sun was sinking that he called the two quickly. Pan Vanno hopped on her deck and called Zer Pied.

“Hey! Big kid!! Come on!”

“… You mean me?”

“So, are there any other big guys besides you?! Hurry up and help me with this!!”

Zer Pied stopped looking at her sea and quickly approached it. Captain Panvano was unwinding his nets. When I moved my gaze toward the sea where the nets were being released, there were countless schools of sardines swimming.

“Tonight’s dinner! If you can’t catch this, you won’t be able to fill your stomach today! So hurry up and grab this!”

“… Can I just do it?”

“Then you do it, who does it! Shall I ask that slender kid to lift the rope?!”

At Panvano’s fierce cry, Zerpied hurriedly grabbed the rope and pulled it up. Fan Bano admired the net she was pulling up in an instant.

“Oh! After all, it’s big, so it’s strong! Release the one over there this time! I have to move to the deck… No, not that! Loose on the left, you idiot! Haven’t you ever worked on a boat?!”

“Um… I don’t remember ever doing it….”

“Ugh, what kind of guy is this… ! No, untie the one on the left-!! You poor bastard!!”

Zerfied felt like he was sweating and thought that it would be better to fight the Paladins.

–

Dark starlight tumbles across the sky. Ecilia couldn’t keep her mouth shut all day. Captain Pan Vano then looked at Cilia and she giggled again. Panvano, who was grilling some sardines, stopped and said,

“It’s done. Let’s eat.”

Celia was finally able to shut her mouth, which she hadn’t been able to shut up in a different way this time. Pan Bano chuckled again as she watched her sardines disappear in two bites.

“There are many. Eat slowly.”

“Mmm! Hmm! It is delicious! Really delicious… ? Ah! I bought something for a time like this!”

Uncharacteristically for Celia, she jumped up from her meal and ran on her deck. After a while, a bottle was in her hand. Seeing the bottle, Pan Bano struck her before she could speak.

“It’s Felice rum!! One of the finest rums the Dales sells! What a bitch you know!”

Panbano, who almost snatched the bottle of rum, kissed it and immediately blew it. He took a big sip and looked at Zerpied with expectant eyes. Zerfied looked at him blankly, blinking his eyes.

“You? Anything?”

“… ?”

“Whoops, you poor bastard.”

Zerfied seriously thought about whether it would be better to fight with the Paladins.

Sharing rum, blushing, Ecilia and Panvano, who had been singing a sailor’s song before they knew it, got up and danced. Zerfied watched the joint performance, thinking about when his lady learned to sing from Panbano Ong.

The joint performance of the two ended only after they lay down on the deck with their faces completely red. Zer Pied put the blanket over Esilia and stood up. He went to the railing and admired the calm night sea. The starlight overflows the veil. Then he heard a hiccup. When he turned his head, Pan Bano was standing there. Glancing at him, Panvano said.

“Isn’t it good?”

“… What do you mean?”

“The sea.”

Panvano lit a pipe. He took a big sip.

“It is quiet. Calm and When I look at it like this, all my worries and worries seem to fly away. But sometimes not. Like when I swallowed my wife and her son.”

Zerpied glared at him at the sudden content. Panvano blew his pipe once more.

“That’s why I can’t leave. Someone told me to quit my job as a sailor and start a business. Jeegi, you have to fit your aptitude. Shouldn’t I be where my family is? Before, I thought that I would just fall into it and search for it without doing anything. Now the sea has washed away everything, so it doesn’t matter.

Even the huge tidal wave that engulfed my family is but a fleeting veil in this boundless sea. That terrible incident that befell me is just a mere bump in the face of time. So, let it flow.”

Zerpied’s eyes widened at Panvano’s unexpected remark.

“… What….”

“How long will you hold on? Did you say hook? Stop, let go I don’t know what happened, but if it doesn’t flow and stays like you do now, it will just rot. In the sea, let it all flow in time.

I’m already ninety. I’ve met all kinds of people, but it’s the first time I’ve seen eyes that are so obsessed with something like you. It’s not just a young person obsessing over things like life. It’s so deep that I don’t know what the hell it’s thinking. The rope has to be released in time… Tsk.”

“… ….”

“Fuck you, you talk about all sorts of things because you are drunk. Hey, big bastard, you know how to hold the helm… Damn, I said I had no boating experience. A really worthless bastard. Just wake up if something happens. ‘Cause I’m sighing No, a child with eyes that are so deep that it is difficult to understand has no experience in sailing….”

Muttering something, Panvano lay down next to him. Death Knight blinked hard in her eyes. He barely turned his gaze to the night sea. The starlight was hidden in the veil and could not be seen.

Let it go?

He had to ask. He to himself.

How?

–

It was two days later that the calm sea showed signs of turbulence. Noticeably, a section of the sea rose up. Zerfied frowned. Ecilia screamed. It wasn’t hard for her to know what it was. Because it rose above the water.

A sea serpent of about eighty cubitsSea serpent Roared. The escort knight immediately caught the Partisan. There was Captain Pan Bano, but he wasn’t going to hide his natural powers and pretend to be a normal person. He poised to jump. And the next moment, a huge gunshot rang out.

-Kuuuuung – !

“Kieack-!”

The Sea Serpent screamed and shook her body. The saintess and the Death Knight stared blankly at what suddenly happened. The spirits of the two were awakened by Panvano’s strong voice. The two of them looked behind them in silence.

“Tonight’s dinner-!”

From noble mtl dot com

Panvano aimed his cannon at the Sea Serpent with a smile so innocent that he couldn’t believe he was ninety years old. Even the huge gunfire could not stop the captain’s roar.

“City Serpent Guidaaaaa – !!!”

–

It was only three days after the incident when Panvanno caught the Sea Serpent with two cannons that the seas were really agitated. Ethilia sat in the cabin of her swaying ship and hugged the escort knight’s arm. Her thunderbolts vibrated on board. The next moment, my stomach rumbled loudly. Ecilia screamed.

“Kyaaaaa!”

“Are you okay?”

“Huh… uh… ! It’s okay, it’s okay…. Hey, knight… The boat won’t capsize… ?”

“No way, it could be. There’s Ong Panvano. If you’re that worried, I’ll ask you.”

The escort driver opened the cabin door to reassure Lady. While looking for Panvano, he was puzzled. I couldn’t confirm the old man’s swear words or movements that would come through the strong thunder and rain. At his first experience, he frowned. Zerfied spoke lowly.

“… Stay here.”

“… Knight?”

“I can’t see the movement of Ong Panbano at all. It’s raining outside, so stay here for a while.”

Before Celia could answer, her thunderstorm struck. Ecilia hugged his arm tightly.

“Go, let’s go together!!”

“No, it’s dangerous outside…” No, it is. We’d better go together.”

I thought that would be better than leaving Lady alone in such dangerous weather. Zer Pied put on his armor just in case, wrapped one arm around his lady and went out. Heavy rain and wind obscured the view. He blinked once. And he immediately swung his shield.

-Kaang!

The shriek of sharp metal rips through the sound of rain. Amidst the screams, a woman’s giggling laughter could be heard. Seung-pyo crawled across her deck with a snake-like movement.

“Oh, stop that?! I thought I couldn’t stop it because I threw it from a square! Oh, seeing that he was wearing armor, he was a knight, right? Is that so?”

The escort knight gave strength to the arm wrapped around the lady. He groaned lowly.

“Lady.”

Lightning ripped everywhere. The escort knight continued.

“Go into the cabin, don’t come out.”

Lightning strikes everywhere again. The man threw what he was carrying onto the deck. Thunder swallowed Ecilia’s screams.

I couldn’t help but know. How can you not recognize Panbano, who has been with you for five days? The rainwater running down the floor turned to blood. The man laughed bitterly as he wiped his blood from the three-pointed dagger. The man’s words flowed through the rain.

“Isn’t that romantic? It means that the captain stays with the ship even after death.”
