Episode 194 Chapter 43: Everything is Frozen (7)

Everything is Frozen (7)

lavian Coast, Lisbonde Port.

A certain tavern.

"What a sight."

When one adventurer said that while chugging beer, other adventurers nodded.

"That's true."

"Unbelievable, breaking through the Eternal Vortex that no adventurer had ever conquered so easily."

"It's the power of money."

"And technology."

With the best magic that couldn't even be compared to ordinary adventurers' magic and billions of funding, Queen Hong Se-Ryu was indeed doing something insane.

However, none of them knew why the Queen suddenly headed towards the Black Cross.

"What could she possibly find there...?"

"Didn't you hear? There's a rumor that she's seeking to break the curse of the 'Flame Flower' passed down through the royal family."

"What? That's a state secret, how would someone like you know about it?"

"Look at those troops. How can you silence thousands of mouths? Besides, there's no reason to keep it a secret."

"That's true."

While chatting about the Queen's expedition, the adventurers gazed out at the sea.

The sight of five giant airships heading towards a frozen massive vortex was quite spectacular, and it was enough to serve as a topic of conversation, so the tavern's windows, usually closed for heating, were wide open.

"It's going to be punished by heaven!"

At that moment, a cry rang out in the street. The adventurers, recognizing the voice's owner, frowned.

"That drunken old man is at it again."

"Haha! Sometimes, his tales are amusing. He claims he once hunted a Rainbow Drake."

On the street, an old man staggered while holding a liquor bottle, shouting at the Queen's airships.

"You must not disturb the spirit of the Pirate King! You'll surely incur his wrath! You'll be punished by heaven!"

"Come on, give it a rest..."

Just as the adventurers were about to grumble about their pleasant drinking session being interrupted,

...Boom!

A shockwave from the distant sea sent a strong wind rushing into Lisbonde Harbor.

Whoosh!

"Ugh!"

Rattle, rattle!

Windows and doors shook violently, and trash and newspapers flew through the streets, causing pedestrians to stop in their tracks.

And, everyone in Lisbonde Harbor witnessed it simultaneously.

"What is that..."

"What the..."

A red tornado connecting the blue sky and sea.

The red was so intense that it overshadowed all the blue around it.

Even veteran adventurers lost themselves in the sky, and the drunken old man swung his bottle high and shouted.

"It's a disaster! A disaster has come! The Pirate King is surely enraged!"
