Raided The God’S Warehouse [EN]: Chapter 248

252

“Wow… What is all this?”

“We were wondering what to do. In the meantime, Blood Wolf took down the king here?”

Thanks to the pirates’ quick movements, Diablo Guild members gathered one by one.

The first to arrive were the twin sisters.

Thinking it was perfect timing, I immediately talked to them about the ship.

“A ship?”

“And something better than what these pirates ride?”

“…Is it too difficult after all?”

“Difficult? You’re on!”

“Wow, we’re even building a ship now! Let’s use the biggest ship there as the keel [the main structural beam along the bottom of a ship]!”

“Keel? Sis, you even know that?”

“You know the miniatures in my room, right?”

“Ah, right. You were a maniac about that stuff, weren’t you?”

Fortunately, both showed interest in shipbuilding.

Just in case, I picked out those among the pirates who had knowledge of shipbuilding and assigned them to help.

Down listened to their conversation, nodded, and immediately listed the necessary materials.

I don’t know how long it will take, but it seemed like I could leave this to them.

“…I’m late.”

“Kang Han-cheol, you help too. There’s a lot of heavy stuff.”

“Okay.”

Kang Han-cheol, having confirmed that the battle was already over, was disappointed, but soon carried materials according to Seun’s instructions.

Kang Han-cheol effortlessly lifted things like cannons and materials made of iron, things that would require ten people to move.

Following him, others arrived and began to help with shipbuilding.

In the meantime…….

“Pirate King! What should we do with this?”

Several pirates struggled to carry a statue.

It was a golden eagle statue, but one wing was almost half broken.

However, somehow the appearance was very natural.

Not unnatural, but natural as if the wing had been broken from the beginning.

Because of that, Seun checked the item’s information just in case.

[ Broken Faith ]

Category: Figurehead

Grade: A

Description: A golden figurehead attached to the Third Fleet of the Jeman Empire. The eagle, the symbol of the empire, had its wings broken with Balstark’s betrayal.

Abilities: 1. Blessing of the Golden Eagle – Ship speed increases by 20%.

2. Broken Wing – Ship turning speed increases by 50%.

3. Mark of the Empire – Damage taken increases by 20%, but damage dealt to the attacker increases by 40%.

‘Was it taken from the Pirate King’s ship?’

An A-grade figurehead.

An item that can only be equipped on a ship, Seun had never seen this type of item before, as its use was rare.

The ‘Mark of the Empire’ effect, which increases damage taken, was annoying, but as an A-grade item, its abilities were quite excellent.

‘The Elder or the twin sisters wouldn’t be able to make something like this.’

Unlike weapons or armor that physically demonstrate strength, accessories or figureheads like the one he was looking at are very difficult to make.

They are created only under specific conditions, such as using materials with specific powers or containing specific energies or ideologies.

“This will be attached to the ship. Keep it safe.”

“Yes, sir!”

Was it thanks to the addition of the Diablo Guild? Already more than half of the ships that existed at the pier had been dismantled.

A new ship was being built based on the Pirate King’s ship, which only had its keel remaining.

In the meantime, Seun, who was looking around to see if there was anything he could help with, came up with an idea.

‘Should I try enchanting [imbue an object with magical properties]?’

Enchanting is a type of imbuing magic, and unlike buffs that cast enhancement magic on living things, it is the act of casting various magics on objects.

It is possible to use magic without having to consume mana or chant, either as a one-time or multi-time use by casting attack magic like Fireball, or to enhance the function of the object itself by casting enhancement magic.

The reason Seun knew so much about this was because of his experience before regression.

‘I used enchanting quite often.’

As an adventurer, Seun lacked his own combat abilities, so he used various enchanting functions.

He cast enchantments himself, even though they were low-circle, and he also received enchantments from magicians by paying contribution points.

But now Seun himself is a 6-circle magician. He could easily do most enchantments on his own.

‘There are plenty of mana stones too.’

There was no point in just resting here.

He had practiced solo training to the point of exhaustion in the guild residence, so there was no need to train more here right now.

“Elder, can I borrow the chisel and hammer I gave you before?”

“Haha, isn’t that originally yours? Use it as you please. But what are you going to do?”

“I’m going to engrave magic circles on the ship.”

“Oh, that’s interesting. Can I watch from the side?”

“Of course.”

Picking up Pygmalion’s chisel and hammer, a gift he had received from Mammon, Seun’s eyes sparkled as he approached the ship that had just begun construction.

* * *

While the Diablo Guild’s ship was being built, a group of non-pirates flocked to the pier.

“Is this the place?”

“The rumors must be true? Look, the pirates are groveling.”

People with various equipment. Even among them were non-human races.

Those with blue skin or those with fangs protruding from their mouths, giving them a sharp appearance, etc.

Their different appearances proved their identities.

“Serves them right. I’ve been trapped here for months because of those guys!”

“But is it really true? No matter how I think about it, there’s no way a player could have defeated that Pirate King……”

“Idiot, if it wasn’t a player, why would they be looking for guild members?”

“That’s true. Even just looking at it now, it’s definitely not something these pirates could have done.”

Players.

Their identities were the players who had not completed the 36th floor trial and were stuck here.

Having been harmed by the pirates and unable to secure funds, they endured and endured, and when they heard that the new Pirate King was summoning the ‘Diablo Guild,’ they gathered here just in case.

“But what if it’s not true?”

“Even if it’s not, what can we do? If we stay like this, we’ll only starve to death.”

“Still, even if they are players, I don’t know if they’ll accept us……”

“Then you can starve to death here. We’re going to try to get out, whether we succeed or fail.”

“If it doesn’t work, we’ll have to kneel. No, we’ll have to bow our heads. I don’t want to die here!”

The 36th floor trial, Pirate Island.

This place is not a resting place, no matter how good it looks.

It is impossible to buy anything using contribution points, and self-sufficiency is also impossible due to the nature of Pirate Island.

The pirates have no mercy, so even begging is impossible.

There was someone who actually tried begging, but he was dragged away by the pirates, beaten, and kicked out.

As if proving it, all the players gathered here had gaunt faces.

“You cowards! That’s why you’re stuck here! I’m going first!”

“Harry, wait up! Tch, he’s just as scared as we are……”

A man called Harry stepped forward.

He spoke confidently, but the way he swallowed nervously showed he was quite tense.

He took confident steps, but the pier was full of pirates, and he soon ran into a wall.

“Huh? What’s this? Not working?”

“Wait a minute. Doesn’t this guy look familiar? Hey, Zeke! Isn’t this the guy you beat up and kicked out last time?”

“That’s right! Hey, why are you back? You want another beating?”

“Well, Zeke, your fists are just the right strength for a massage. Hehe.”

“What? Want to try getting a massage from my fist?”

When he first arrived on the 36th floor, Harry was very confident. He was a player who had climbed to the 36th floor, and he didn’t think pirates would stand in his way.

But reality was different.

The pirates were weak individually, but collectively, they had power.

Even if he managed to deal with one pirate crew, a new one would appear as enemies.

Moreover, the guns the pirates used were very difficult to defend against.

After several battles, he eventually succumbed to the pirates. The same was true for all the players behind Harry.

“I, I’ve come to see the Pirate King!”

“Is this guy crazy? You think you can just waltz in and see the Pirate King?”

“I was getting bored just working anyway. It’s been a while since I’ve stretched my body.”

“Sounds good!”

The pirates put down their luggage, loosened their wrists, and approached Harry.

Normally, he would have run away immediately, but Harry swallowed hard and pulled out his weapon with trembling hands.

There’s no way to survive if I run away from here anyway.

Starve to death, or get beaten to death.

Those are the only two options.

Just before the battle with the pirates began…….

“What’s going on?”

“Oh, you’ve arrived!”

“It’s nothing! We’ll take care of this ourselves!”

A large man appeared from behind the pirates.

Perhaps because of the heat, he wasn’t wearing any simple armor, but the muscles that filled his entire body looked stronger than any armor. [Suggesting immense physical strength]

Even his strength was beyond that. He was carrying one of the ship’s masts by himself.

However, Harry’s face lit up when he saw the man.

“A, are you perhaps a player?”

He had been wandering around Pirate Island for months, so he could tell. That man was not a pirate.

Then there were only two possibilities left.

Either that man was the Pirate King, or he was a guild member of Diablo.

‘He, he must be the Pirate King!’

He could guess the man’s strength without even fighting him.

He wondered what kind of player could defeat the Pirate King, but it seemed possible for that man.

“That’s right.”

“I knew it! You’re the one who took the Pirate King’s place! As a fellow player, I’m honored!”

“……You’re a player too?”

“Yes! If it’s okay with you, could you accept me as a guild member? I’ll do anything!”

Harry knelt down.

Even when the man hesitated, he bowed his head to the ground and begged.

The pirates couldn’t dare to interfere and hesitated.

The pirates didn’t know what a player meant, but they had to be mindful of the man.

He thought his fate would be decided here, whether it was rejection or acceptance, but the answer he heard was different from what Harry expected.

“Follow me.”

“……Yes?”

“I’m not the Pirate King. Our guild leader is.”

“You’re not the guild leader……?”

“Aren’t you coming?”

“I, I’ll go!”

“Please, take me too!”

“M, me too!”

As soon as Harry was accepted, the players who had been hiding and watching quickly ran out.

Harry didn’t like the people trying to pick up the crumbs, but he couldn’t show it in front of the large man.

The man nodded roughly, shouldered the mast, and led the way.

The players tried to help him, but they were just a burden.

‘Diablo Guild, was it? What on earth…….’

Harry, who was following the man, couldn’t close his mouth at the surrounding scenery.

He was confident in his skills when he arrived on the 36th floor, but after looking around, he realized that wasn’t the case.

Even the players who seemed to be production-based seemed stronger than him.

The pirates were also polite to the Diablo Guild as well as the Pirate King.

After a while, the man stopped in front of a huge ship skeleton that he had never seen on Pirate Island.

“I brought the players.”

“Players?”

“That’s all I heard. I’ll leave the decision to you.”

“Okay.”

The man left those words and left.

Harry swallowed hard and looked at the man standing in front of the ship.

He wasn’t big or muscular, but he could tell just from his presence.

That man was the guild leader of Diablo. The man who defeated the Pirate King and reigned as the new Pirate King of Pirate Island.

As soon as Harry realized that, he knelt down and bowed his head.

“I’ll do anything! Please take us in!”

“What benefit is there in taking you in?”

“B, benefit? That is……”

Harry racked his brain.

What benefit could he give to such a strong man?

He knew that he was not helpful in increasing combat power after coming this far.

Then there was only one thing left.

“Aren’t you trying to set sail? I’ve lived on Pirate Island and done all sorts of odd jobs!”

“I, I’m confident in doing odd jobs too!”

“I’m not sure about other things, but I’m confident in my strength! Just give me something to do……”

Starting with Harry, the players each appealed to their strengths.

Most of the strengths were useless, but why?

“Okay. I’ll take you.”

“T, thank you!”

“Odd jobs are a secondary factor. More than that, everyone…….”

“I can do anything! Just give me something to do!”

“You can row, right?”

The new Pirate King, Seun, smiled slightly as if he was rather pleased.
