The Last Adventurer Chapter 71

Chapter 23. The Kingdom of Ariant (3)

6.

The ships on the upper reaches of Gapor, which had left the port city of Lis, were sailing more peacefully than ever.

“There are no pirates, and no monsters.”

“You’re so lucky.”

Even the captain and crew were surprised.

However, the expressions on the adventurers’ faces while on the ship were not very good.

The reason was simple.

“Wow!”

It was because of seasickness.

There was nothing strange.

First of all, many of the adventurers were from Victoria Island and had little experience on a ship.

Even if there were any, they were all brief voyages.

On the other hand, it took an average of 15 days for a ship from the upper reaches of Gapor to reach its destination, the port city of Jeddah in the Kingdom of Ariant, and sometimes even longer.

It was a completely different experience from just taking a boat ride.

It wasn’t just Victoria Islanders who did this.

“How are you feeling?”

“not good.”

“That’s right. It’s completely different from Elnas.”

“What good is origin? Even the Ariant guys vomit.”

Among the adventurers from Elnas or Ariant, quite a few complained of seasickness.

Neither Elnas nor Ariant were places where many ships rode.

Of course, there were exceptions.

“Tsk tsk, everyone is so weak, all they’re doing is suffering from seasickness.”

In the case of the pirate Miner, far from suffering from seasickness, he appeared more energetic than inside the Mystic Gate.

“But why are you okay?”

“So, do you have any complaints?”

The funny thing was that none of the El Palm party members, including Miner, got seasick.

“Divo, have you ever been on a boat?”

“Is this your first time?”

“But why don’t you get seasick, Kiri?”

“I’ve ridden it a few times.”

“How many times? Just? Ralph?”

“I’ve never ridden one before.”

“okay?”

“I have to pay to ride it, so why should I ride it?”

That was quite a strange thing even from Miner’s point of view.

“That’s strange. Normally, what you’ve eaten by now should be given to the fish as food. What is it?”

Of all the people he had seen, there were few who had such a high tolerance for seasickness without any experience.

Only one person wasn’t surprised.

El Palm wasn’t surprised to see that.

‘The training went as intended.’

It was thanks to El Palm.

‘Adaptability has become extraordinary.’

El Palm, he has not just taken his comrades to attack the Mystic Gate until now.

To be honest, the strategy itself wasn’t difficult. If the goal was just to conquer, El Palm would just have to recruit the necessary companions at that time.

If you still want to conquer the area, you just need to gather the skilled adventurers from the 4th circle and go.

Nevertheless, El Palm gathered his colleagues.

Because in the future, in the distant future, I needed trustworthy colleagues.

Naturally, El Palm repeatedly trained the colleagues he had gathered in this way.

Knowingly or unknowingly.

He sent his comrades into battle countless times and used it as a training ground.

That’s why I don’t get seasick now.

It is said that he has developed an extraordinary ability to adapt immediately even in environments he experiences for the first time.

‘I didn’t know you would follow me this far.’

In fact, this growth rate was beyond El Palm’s expectations.

‘Kiri follows along especially well.’

Devo, Miner, and Ralph had already seen El Palm’s abilities firsthand.

But in Kiri’s case, it was unexpected.

‘There’s nothing wrong with that.’

A pleasant surprise for El Palm.

Of course, El Palm did not smile at that fact.

Couldn’t build it.

‘The situation from now on will be worse.’

El Palm, who saw the future, couldn’t dare smile at the sight that would unfold before his eyes.

“see!”

That was what El Palm’s eyes saw.

“Jeddah! The port city of Jeddah!”

The appearance of Jeddah, a huge port city with its back to the vast golden desert.

7.

The Nihal Desert was huge.

There were many port cities in the Nihal Desert.

No, the Nihal Desert had to have even more port cities.

“The Nihal Desert is vast. And dangerous. It’s on a whole other level than Victoria Island. It’s crazy to cross it. It’s wiser to travel by boat.”

Because most of the transportation had to be done by boat.

For that reason, the port cities of the Nihal Desert were bound to prosper.

“Of all the port cities, Jeddah is the most prosperous.”

The best of them was Jeddah.

“Compared to Jeddah, Port Ris is a laughing stock.”

The grandeur of the port city of Jeddah was beyond anything one could have imagined.

“oh my god.”

That was the reason why Debo and all his El Palm colleagues were surprised.

“Isn’t that a city or a kingdom?”

The port city of Lisbon was by no means small, but Jeddah’s size was incomparable.

“oh my god.”

A moment of shock, like a frog in a well seeing the outside world.

Everyone was amazed by the grandeur of the port city of Jeddah.

El Palm, on the other hand, was different.

El Palm was not impressed by the grandeur of the port city of Jeddah.

It wasn’t because I had already seen the place several times.

El Palm came to mind.

‘That place collapsed.’

When that magnificent port city of Jeddah collapsed.

‘In front of the horntail.’

The three-headed dragon, Horntail’s breath, brought it down.

There was no resistance.

‘It collapsed in one breath.’

It just disappeared in an instant like a mirage in the Nihal Desert.

It was a far-off sight, and many adventurers lost their will to live before that far-off sight.

‘At that time, all the survivors ran away.’

At least no one stood against Horntail after seeing him destroy Jedha.

‘Except me.’

El Palmman was the only one who saw it and fought against Horntail even after seeing the gruesome sight.

Become the final adventurer.

And died.

As El Palm recalled that death, a man came into his eyes.

“There! Is this the El Palm Party you sent from the top of Gapor?”

He was a young man.

A young man with bronze skin who looks to be in his early twenties.

He was also a man with a handsome appearance that immediately caught the eye.

So everyone’s attention was focused on it.

“My name is Cesar and I am from the Ariant Kingdom branch in Gapor. Nice to meet you!”

He gave a big bow to El Palm Party, and El Palm Party responded.

“Oh, my name is Devo. He’s really handsome.”

“thank you!”

“By the way, did you come alone?”

Caesar smiled and said in response to Devo’s subsequent question.

“The Ariant branch is not that big yet… … I will guide you to the branch for now. Please follow me.”

El Palm Party did not raise any particular questions about what followed.

‘Well, it must have just started.’

‘Reese and Ariant are completely different. Creating a branch is like pouring water into a bottomless pit.’

‘The kids at the top of Gapor are going crazy. Are we going to go down like this?’

From the beginning, everyone was pessimistic about Ariant’s advancement to the upper part of Gapor.

It wasn’t because I was looking down on the top of Gapor.

Because advancing into the Ariant Kingdom, one of the largest continents in Osiris, incomparable to Victoria Island, was a dream for all the merchants of the port city of Lis.

That’s why I tried to advance early.

However, the only place that had a place was the top of Goldrich.

There were only two people who questioned this situation.

‘I smell money. I have a feeling something is going on.’

One of them is none other than Ralph.

The other one was, of course, El Palm.

In El Palm’s case, his eyes were cold and sunken.

‘This is getting interesting.’

Okay, I got it.

‘The three princes of Kashan are coming out.’

The person who just introduced himself as Cesar was none other than Kashan, the third prince of King Abdullah VIII.

I couldn’t not know.

Because his handsome appearance wasn’t such that he could be confused with someone else.

There was no question.

‘Because he is the one who wants to get closer to the throne than anyone else.’

The truth is that the third prince of Kashan, whose face is unknown to the world, was a man who was busier than anyone else in order to ascend to the throne.

The fact that he immediately attempted to occupy the port city of Lees using the upper part of Gapor was evidence of his extraordinary ability to act.

‘And yet, you came to meet an adventurer who had only cleared the yellow rank.’

Of course, the fact that he came out like this while hiding his identity must mean that some special event has occurred.

There was nothing to regret from El Palm’s point of view.

‘It’s an opportunity.’

If you show something here, you will catch the eye of none other than the three princes of Kashan.

In any case, there was no need for El Palm to reveal that he knew the Kashan princes right away.

El Palm took care of his facial expressions.

Eventually, El Palm Party was able to reach a normal-sized building located in Jeddah.

It was literally an ordinary building.

Not befitting the name of the top of Gapor.

‘It’s really nothing.’

But no one questioned that fact.

Rather, I went inside with understanding, and soon I was able to meet El Palm Party.

“I am Salaman, the head of the Ariant branch at the top of Gapor. It is a pleasure to meet you.”

Salaman, a copper-skinned man in his mid-40s with a strong impression.

That Salaman had a strong voice as well as a strong face.

“I won’t make it long.”

A piece of cake.

“Master Gapor sent you. He told me to use you well. He also sent you a title.”

I blurted out my true feelings.

“And I don’t believe that.”

At those words, Divo and his colleagues became enraged.

To be honest, I didn’t come here with good intentions.

El Palm had led the way, and had no intention or preparation whatsoever of working in Ariant.

But the beginning was like this?

“Ariant does not recognize that we only operate in Victoria Island.”

But that was Ariant’s law.

El Palm also did not complain.

“Didn’t you say you didn’t want to talk at length? Then let’s get to the point.”

I don’t think this place was created to vent your frustrations anyway.

“I need to prove my skills. With my own eyes.”

This was the main point.

“There is one Mystic Gate.”

The best way to test your skills is to conquer Mystic Gate.

“Rank is yellow. Maximum number of people allowed is 28. There are 3 wounds.”

And after hearing the explanation that followed, Debo and El Palm Party tilted their heads.

‘Just that?’

It wasn’t easy.

If there is a wound at the yellow level, it means that it is not an easy place no matter what.

“It’s a solo hunt.”

Despite the conditions that followed, El Palm Party shook its head.

‘It’s only a 28-person gate?

It was clearly not an easy situation.

It’s a wound, but you’re telling me to solo clear the 28-person Mystic Gate raid with a party of only five?

It was something that would have made any adventurer say, “Get out of here!” the moment they heard the offer.

But the El Palm Party was an exception.

They were an adventurer party that had recently succeeded in conquering the Mystic Gate with a whopping 300 people.

Even if it was just luck, the fact that it came out anyway definitely means it’s special.

Still, this proposal had to sound like this to the El Palm Party.

‘Are you making fun of us?’

‘You’re completely ignoring our title.’

‘Look at this kid, what does he think of Golden Eye Miner?’

‘Not even offering a bounty? That’s the worst.’

That they are being ignored.

El Palm Party does not recognize any of the titles it has achieved in Victoria Island.

That was a very unpleasant thing.

For an adventurer, a title is something they have achieved by risking their life. It is like their life.

However, El Palm was different.

He did not listen to Salaman’s words now. He did not attach any significance to what he said.

There was no need for that.

‘The Kashan princes want adventurers.’

After all, it wasn’t Salahman who wanted to test his skills right now, but the three princes of Kashan.

And if the level of adventurer that the Kashan princes wanted was anything to go by, then it was definitely not an ordinary level.

That is, there was only one most important point that Salaman could present here.

“So what about the time limit?”

All of El Palm’s colleagues were surprised by those words.

Because the condition that was never mentioned when adventuring through the Mystic Gate was that thing called time.

No matter how long it takes, as long as you get out alive, that’s the common sense of adventurers who venture through Mystic Gate.

But there’s a time limit?

The unexpected.

So even Salaman was surprised.

‘how?’

The fact that his intentions were read.

Salaman, who was surprised by that fact, soon came to his senses when he saw Cesar, the third prince of Kashan, behind him.

He said that he now realized his role.

“You have one week. Finish it within that time.”

“What did you say?”

Devo objected to that answer.

“No, among the Mystic Gate conditions, there is one that requires you to endure for a week to get out!”

Regardless of skill, it is a well-known fact that it takes more than a week to get past the Mystic Gate depending on luck!

“Luck is a skill.”

But after those words, Divo did not speak to Salaman any more.

I looked at El Palm.

Anyway, the decision is up to El Palm.

“A week, is that all?”

“Yes.”

“I don’t like it one bit. Please change the conditions.”

El Palm made such an offer to Salamander.

“Conditions? Do you think it’s difficult?”

El Palm answered that question with a faint smile.

“Please give me 10 million mesos for every day you move forward by one week.”
