The Last Adventurer Chapter 286

Chapter 75. Maple Union (1)

One.

It took a long time to contact Maple World.

But it was different when using a few items.

There were several items that helped me ask and answer simple questions, no matter how far away I was.

Of course, the price was very expensive.

Anyway, the core members of each group would carry around such items in case of emergency.

Woohoo!

Ring ring!

Hurrr!

And now, in the Nautilus’s power room, each of those contact items was making its own noise.

I informed them that it was an emergency.

Despite this, no member of the Ursus Expedition received this urgent communication.

gulp!

All I can do is swallow my saliva.

Okay, I got it.

The adventurers and knights gathered here are from all over Maple World.

What does it mean that their emergency contacts are ringing at the same time?

‘The Mystic Gate doors are open everywhere.’

Of course, they did not remain silent forever.

Even in this dire situation, they managed to maintain their senses.

They received a call from me.

“Okay. I’ll go right now!”

“I’ll hold on until I get there!”

“Don’t worry about this one! It’s been taken care of!”

And the content was all about requests for help, and those who received those requests spoke right away.

“I’m sorry! The skeleton commander has arrived in Perion! I have to go now!”

“I heard a group of Junior Balrogs have appeared in the Port of Lees. They need my help.”

“A pack of Crimson Balrogs have appeared in Henesys! They need your support as Lady Helena is not here right now!”

I have to leave this place.

Captain Kairin nodded at that fact.

“Go ahead, I’ll take care of this.”

After everyone thanked her for her words, they left.

A sudden silence fell over the engine room.

“Something ridiculous happened.”

In that silence, Captain Kairin spoke with a more determined expression than ever.

The expressions on other people’s faces were the same.

Did you really think that all the Mystic Gates across Maple World would open simultaneously?

At that point, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at one fact.

“I’m glad we caught Ursus.”

If El Palm Party had not caught Ursus, the Nautilus would have sunk.

The damage it would cause was horrific to even imagine.

“thank you.”

Especially from Captain Kairin’s perspective, she couldn’t help but express her sincere gratitude to the El Palm Party.

Because the Nautilus was not just a simple ship, it was a rallying point for pirates.

The sinking of the Nautilus was not simply a matter of pirates dying.

“no.”

“No, if you need any help, just tell me. I’ll do my best to help you whenever I can.”

Captain Kairin smiled and said to El Palm.

But El Palm didn’t attach any significance to those words.

It wasn’t that I was ignoring Captain Kairin or anything.

It was because I knew.

‘There’s no room for that.’

From this point on, it will be virtually impossible for Captain Kairin to help anyone.

That prediction soon became reality.

“captain!”

Another subordinate appeared.

‘Murat?’

Murat, the closest aide to Captain Kairin who wears an eye patch.

The fact that he appeared like this means that something truly incredible has happened.

That was actually the case.

“Pianus, the giant fish has appeared.”

“Pianus?”

Pianus!

It was a giant fish that was only told in legends, and to those living in the sea, it was a monster that was like a huge, uncontrollable disaster, like the Demon King Balrog or Zakum.

Above all, Pianus was a cruel man who did not tolerate any being greater than himself in the sea.

From the Nautilus’ perspective, this guy has to be dealt with somehow!

Of course, Captain Kairin had to move.

She turned her head and looked at El Palm Party and the Knights of Signus.

There was no need for conversation.

Everyone knows what choice she has to make now.

“Organize an expedition immediately!”

So she left the power room.

However, that does not mean that those who remained had any free time.

The Knights of Signus also prepared to go out.

They, who must protect the peace of Maple World, must now move to solve problems throughout Maple World.

In a sense, they are the busiest people.

There was no room to be here.

So the two knight commanders looked at El Palm and said.

“Thank you for catching Ursus. El Palm Party, I will remember your noble sacrifice for the rest of my life.”

“Friend, next time you have to risk your life, let’s do it together. I know it’s a bit late to be saying this, but.”

Each expressed their utmost respect and gratitude in their own way.

That was the moment.

Hurrr!

Phagec!

Oz, the commander of the Knights of Fire, a flame bloomed from her arms, and Hawkeye, the commander of the Knights of Lightning, sparks flew from his arms.

At that moment, both of their expressions hardened.

Because this was a signal.

A signal that a very urgent situation has arrived.

‘oh my god.’

And there was only one place where an urgent signal could be sent to the Commander of the Knights of the Signus Order.

“Is there a problem with Ereve?”

Ereve, the adult of the Knights of Signus!

That means there’s a very urgent situation happening on that moving island right now!

At that fact, the expressions of the two of them, as well as the knights who came with them, hardened very seriously.

‘how?’

The Mystic Gate appeared in Ereve as well. The Mystic Gate could appear anywhere.

However, the Knights of Signus attacked the Mystic Gate as soon as it appeared.

Especially after it became known that the door to the Mystic Gate could be opened, they attacked without exception.

Not a single exception was made.

But a monster appeared?

Something that can’t be happening.

So the confusion became even more intense.

If it weren’t for the appearance of monsters, why would an urgent request for help come from the Knight Commander of the Knights of Signus, of all people?

Whatever it was, it meant that something very serious had happened.

That wasn’t the bigger problem.

‘If I want to go to Ereve now, I have to take an airship… … .’

Ereve is an island floating in the sky, and to get there, of course, you need an airship.

However, the unfairness was not something that could be obtained immediately even if one wanted it.

Of course, the commander of the Knights of the Signus Order had his own special airship.

‘It takes too long to get to the stop.’

However, the airship was basically only able to move from one stop to another.

It was impossible to float and move freely above the ground.

Unless it’s something extremely special and unfair, like Phantom Thief’s Crystal Garden.

That means you have to travel from the Nautilus to the six-way intersection where the airship stops.

It wasn’t a short road.

‘Are things okay?’

But what the Knights of Signus were most worried about right now was the situation there.

A situation where the doors of the Mystic Gate open throughout Maple World and monsters rush out.

In such a situation, where would adventurers consider themselves safest?

Most people had one answer.

Above the sky!

That means they will flock to ride the unfair wave.

It didn’t end there.

‘What if Junior Balrog appears?’

If you encounter a Crimson Balrog or Junior Balrog while on an airship, there is a chance that you will die without being able to put up a fight.

That means even getting to Ereve isn’t easy!

That was the moment.

“There is a way to get to Ereve as quickly as possible now.”

El Palm, he said, and the moment he heard those words, the two knight commanders looked surprised.

Is there such a way?

“What is that method?”

El Palm answered the question that naturally arose.

2.

“Haha, thank you for calling an old man like me. My name is Pilot Irvin.”

El Palm, the method he came up with was none other than the pilot Irvin.

“I was waiting for a while.”

In addition, the pilot, Irvin, had been staying near the Nautilus since early on.

It wasn’t a coincidence.

“Thank you for waiting.”

“No, I got the money in advance.”

El Palm, he had paid the advance and was waiting for the pilot Irvin near the Nautilus.

I didn’t expect this to happen.

El Palm simply wanted to keep their pilot Irvin by their side as much as possible, as he could travel long distances from anywhere at any time.

Of course, this was only El Palm’s standard.

‘oh my god.’

In the eyes of El Palm’s colleagues and the Knight Commander of the Knights of Signus, Pilot Ervin was never a good card.

‘You’re going to ride this?’

‘Is this an airplane? Not a piece of wood?’

To them, the wooden plane behind Pilot Irvin looked like nothing more than a suicide device.

“So your goal is Ereve?”

How about going to Ereve on this?

bedlam.

“Honestly, I’m a bit taken aback because this is unexpected.”

Pilot Ervin also seemed a little hesitant to that fact, and everyone nodded in response.

Because that was normal.

“Are you having trouble getting to Erebro?”

“No, that’s not it.”

Of course, their common sense did not work on these two.

“Just because you’re the first one to fly on my plane three times.”

“No. There is no one in Maple World I can trust more than Pilot Irvin. So can you go?”

“Of course, there is no reason why I can’t go.”

The moment they heard those words, those around them gave up thinking about it any longer.

Also, there was no time for that.

‘Anything is fine. You have to grab onto even a shred of straw and get up.’

From the perspective of the Knights of Signus, if they died, they would die. They could not just watch what was happening in Ereve from a safe place.

What’s more, isn’t this a matter involving the life of Empress Signus?

It was not something to consider the possibility of death.

When something needs to be done.

‘You have to trust El Palm.’

Moreover, it was none other than El Palm who proposed this.

Even if others didn’t know, if it was the Knights of Signus, they had to believe El Palm even if he said the deer was a horse.

That was polite.

“Let’s leave right away.”

“That’s right, Mr. Ervin, I would like to leave immediately.”

That’s why Oz and Hawkeye step forward without hesitation.

To those two, pilot Irvin spoke with a stern expression.

“I’m sorry, but it’s impossible to take everyone with us right now.”

Everyone tilted their heads at those words.

Because the plane pilot Irvin had had six seats, including the cockpit.

But is it impossible to burn everyone?

“The plane is not in good condition right now. They said they are repairing it, but it is impossible to fill the garden. If we keep doing that, it could really crash.”

Oz and Hawkeye nodded at the continued explanation.

Frankly, in their eyes, that wooden plane was a miracle in itself, let alone filling the garden.

It means that it is too bad that the garden cannot be filled.

So they asked:

“Then how many people can ride?”

Instead of answering that question, Pilot Irvin raised his finger.

Index finger, that one.

“one person?”

“Yeah, only one person can ride.”

The moment they heard that story, the expressions of the two knight commanders and their colleagues at El Palm hardened.

Something very urgent has happened in Ereve, and only one person can go?

This is ridiculous.

But there were no worries.

“So who’s going to ride?”

Who should I choose as that one person?

“I will ride.”

El Palm, he boarded a wooden plane.
