Chapter 85 You're My Elder Brother Now! (1)
When living on Hisaril Hill, money was merely something that Turan either had or didn't have.
With extremely limited items available to obtain, even having a lot of money meant there was nowhere to spend it.
But after coming down to the world, he found money was far more incredible than he'd thought.
If magical power was the key to omnipotence, money was the substance of omnipotence.
From delicious food to books, even magical devices and Masu like Bize could be traded with money.
Even nobles valued gold and silver enough to mint them into currency.
And the wealth now spread before Turan's eyes matched or even exceeded everything he had earned until now.
Over a hundred crudely cast gold ingots, over four hundred silver ingots...
Besides these, there were accessories and jewels clearly plundered from somewhere piled messily, and among them was even one magical device.
'There definitely wasn't anyone with something like this during the fight, where did it come from? Did they find something hidden away?'
Wondering this, Turan tossed and caught a bead containing something sloshing inside before storing it in his pocket.
Though unlikely, it might be a trap-type magical device harmful to its user, so reckless use was forbidden.
For this reason, he still hadn't confirmed the functions of two magical devices obtained from the previous battle in the western wilderness.
Nobles with Artificer bloodline could examine magical device functions, so he could ask Asiz later in the Dakein Plains.
After scanning the warehouse, Turan asked the woman he'd appointed as leader.
"Is anyone demanding their share?"
"Sh-share, you mean?"
"The miners, they worked hard extracting this gold and silver, so I thought they might feel cheated if I took it all. Plus, some of these accessories might have been someone's original possessions."
At Turan's words, the woman made an expression as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing, then quickly tried to control her expression.
"How could they! We're already grateful just for being rescued from the pirates, and you're even paying to send us home - no one would make such a shameless demand!"
Though Turan thought there might be a few such shameless people, he didn't detect the nervous smell characteristic of liars from her.
Anyway, if she was managing well, there was no need to worry further.
"Then that's settled, how are the sick people?"
"Thanks to your concern, everyone's much better! Though it'll take time to fully recover."
Though only a day had passed, rest with hope was far more efficient than rest in despair.
Providing abundant food had also had a great effect.
Turan didn't just urge them on but helped with cargo loading and departure preparations using telekinetic magic.
Having learned from the crew while aboard the Blue Marlin in the North Sea before, he alone could do the work of dozens of others.
Soon after, when the pirate ship unfurled its sails after completing all departure preparations, Turan used wind magic to push the sails.
A method he had tried while aboard the Blue Marlin before, but had thought too inefficient to attempt for long.
But now Turan had more than twice the magical power of that time, and though incomplete, House Arabion's bloodline ability to control wind.
"Whoa, the wind?"
"It's a favorable wind! No, at this level it's almost a typhoon, I wonder if the ship might fly away..."
Despite some people's worries, the ship smoothly cut through the sea.
Their destination was Anik Island, the base of the Red Whale pirates.
==
As one miner had predicted, operating the pirate ship became a situation where Turan had to take on almost everything alone.
Not to mention the women, even the men who had worked as miners only knew how to operate small fishing boats or work as low-ranking crew members, not how to sail a large ship.
The critical problem was that no one knew exactly where their target, Anik Island, was located.
Even the pirates only knew the name, not exactly which direction to go from here, so Turan resolved this difficulty with a remarkably simple and sure method.
Just as when looking for Parayan Island, he stopped at passing sailing ships and islands to ask directions.
Though in a faster and more certain way than before.
"A black eagle Masu! A Masu is coming! There's someone hanging from it..."
"L-lower your weapons! Right now!"
Turan had Bize fly up to search for sailing ships, and when one was spotted, he flew over and projected his magical power.
Then the knights stationed one or two per large sailing ship quickly shouted at their subordinates to give up resistance.
They sensed the presence of a grand wizard who could easily crush even their house head - someone they might never have a chance to see in their lifetime.
They couldn't dare be arrogant when aware the opponent could sink their ship with a single gesture.
"O great descendant of the gods' blood, I am a knight of House Razbet, tasked by my master to protect this ship-"
"Which direction should I go to reach Anik Island?"
"Huh? Ah, Anik Island is... Navigator!"
"Well, er-south! Probably..."
"Thanks."
