Eldritch Creature's Guide



They were essentially low-profile targets whom Samiel couldn't be bothered by unless they encountered them.

Certainly, he won't be wasting his time searching for them because it would take too much time and the gains were not that good.

"So we will be going directly for the big shots?"

Juulius asked for confirmation, to which Samiel nodded.

"Yes, only the long timers and powerful pirates would allow me to complete the bounty relatively fast within a time span of maximally two years due to the size of the Floor. When we arrive at the Skrånøtiå, we can use their information network to gather more information about them and start hunting those with a minimal bounty of at least fifty thousand Credits. Preferably we will find some of the Sea Warlords or Pirate Kings."

Samiel stated because, for example, even the weakest of the Pirate Kings, Caxton 'White Beard' Amaranth, who was actually a peak Bronze-Tier pirate, operating on the seas for three centuries, had a bounty of 150,000 Credits or the Big Choppa Doomsmashah was of the same Tier and had a bounty of 300,00 Credits...

"Search through their possession if they have some other than diseases and filth on them..."

He ordered because he didn't wish to search through the pirates personally, but unfortunately, diseases and filth were the only things that the Tooth Grin Corsais had on them.

Aside from a few thousand Gold Coins, there was nothing of remarkable value...

"Done?"

Samiel questioned and seeing Juulis nod, he stood up and put down Nefertari, whom he was petting, as they went towards the ship.

Like the rest of the ships, this one was relatively small and fast, designed for speed and maneuverability rather than cargo capacity.

It was made of a wooden hull and multiple masts with square sails. The ship was armed with cannons, which were used to intimidate and overpower other ships.

As he inspected it, he saw that most of those cannons were damaged and only one-third of them were capable of being used in real combat. The ship's interior was relatively spartan, with minimal living quarters for the crew and limited space for cargo.

With the limited possibilities for space and housing, thus the crew were the ones who paid the price of living in abysmal conditions.

On the contrary, the captain's cabin, however, would be relatively luxurious, with a larger living space and often featuring decorative elements such as carved woodwork or elaborate furnishings.

It was clear that every bit of money they got went to the captain's coffers so he could live way above the standard.

"Do you know how to sail a ship?"

Samiel asked, but Juulius knew only some basics; this made him regret a bit about killing all the pirates.

While he got the knowledge from the memory of the captain of the Tooth Grin Corsairs as he ate his soul, even with the memories, he wasn't confident in controlling the ship.

So he used Undead in the place of a real crew, but their efficiency won't be that good, but that was the best solution they had on hand.

He then summoned his Undead and ordered them to do exact things he knew from the memory of the captain of the pirate crew as they got the ship ready for setting sails.

This took more than a half hour because he needed to instruct every Undead individually, which was a pretty arduous thing as each Undead needed to do some specific things and unfortunately, at the start, they were making some mistakes.

Soon enough, the ship, which was anchored to the island, started moving towards another island where Yvraine was. Samiel sent her a message through the Holo-Brain to wait for them at a predestined location on the beach.

"This is a pretty weird feeling, but it is not something that I couldn't get used to..."

He muttered while enjoying the wind blowing to his face as they were sailing to another island. Fortunately, the distance between the two of them was not that big, so they arrived very soon and saw Yvraine waiting for them on the beach.

Sending down a small boat, Samiel went to pick her up and soon enough, Yvraine was standing on the deck of the former pirate ship.

"This ship looks like crap."

And while Samiel grimaced, there was nothing he could say to refute her words because they were indeed truth, that the ship was in terrible shape. but

Nevertheless, considering all circumstances, it was understandable and Samiel was glad to have at least something on hand that would bring him to the Laros Kingdom.

"Do you think you can expect something better from the pirate crew on the outskirts of the Floor?"

Samiel asked sarcastically, seeing that Yvraine was quite displeased with how things were; probably, she expected something way fancier and more comfortable.

"Ts... where are the captain's quarters?"

Samiel then pointed her to the captain's quarters which became his personal chambers for the time being until they arrived at the Laros Kingdom. Yvraine then went to now their chambers to make herself comfortable, probably reworking the entire room to become something up to her standards.

"And with that, we picked up my temperamental lover and can continue towards the Laros Kingdom... Juulius, how far are we?"

Juulius, hearing his lord's question, checked up on something through his Holo-Brain and found the answer.

"Week if we push the ship to the limits, this included the usage of Wind Magic to boost up the speed."

So they needed to wait for Yvraine until she was done with rearranging the former captain's quarters and cleaning the place, probably changing the furniture into something more usable and stylish.

Considering the fact that she was wearing the entire bedroom, including bedside tables or closets inside her dimensional storage... though considering the number of spatial items she possessed, it was no wonder she had countless of them.

Even he had... usually, people from big factions didn't have problems with this, but the ones outside of 13 Gates or other similar factions with long foundations or those wielding tremendous power lacked them and thus the spatial equipment was considered a priceless treasure.

"We will wait for Yvraine until she finishes decorating and cleaning the captain's room... she will use the Wind Magic to speed up the ship. How long would it take without the usage of the Wind Magic Spells?"

Juulius was observing the Undead, who were doing the work around the ship and managing everything under Samiel's instructions.

"Double of that time probably... another factor influencing that would be if we encounter pirates, bounty hunters, monsters, or also depending on the weather."

Weather... indeed, if they got unlucky and got hit by a storm or strong waves, it would be disastrous. This ship was just an ordinary wooden boat, nothing special; even the wood from which it was made was just ordinary one.

So, indeed, it won't be strong enough to withstand the storms or more powerful waves.

Not talking about the possibilities of withstanding powerful sea monsters and magical beasts that lived in the depths of these waters.

"Hopefully, we will have some more luck."

Juulius stated as Samiel gave him one stoic nod because they could only hope for now.

Samiel even started praying to the Outer Court, with Juulius quickly following suit as they both started reciting the Defensive Prayer, which could also be used for occasions like this.
