A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

Weren't you firing at each other just a second ago? How come you're suddenly reading comics?

"Is there a problem?"

"Aren't we going to give chase?"

"Tell me how to chase them," the captain said irritably. Why didn't these sailors use their brains?

How do we get around that tall firewall?

"So what do we do now?" the sailor asked, somewhat confused.

"Let's keep sailing. Our initial goal wasn't to sink their ships." The captain turned a page, intently reading the comic book plot.

"Sailing?"

"Let's continue toward the secret realm," the captain said, puffing on his pipe.

"So what are you still standing there for? Everyone else has started working."

After being reminded by the captain, the sailor who had been asking questions realized that his companions had already started moving.

The entire warship had already begun to change course.

After the warship changed direction, its speed suddenly increased.

All of this was at the captain's behest; too much time was wasted, and speeding up was the only way forward.

---

Bray pushed open the door on his head and returned to the deck.

"Is that all?" From below the deck, where he was laying mines, he couldn't see the battle between the two ships, but he felt it ended too quickly, and neither side was injured.

“I think so.” Nisha went up to the deck before Bree.

There was no wear and tear on the deck; it was impossible to imagine that it had just been in a fight with another ship.

"The captain seems to have sped up." Nisha squinted, feeling the increasingly strong sea breeze.

The sea breeze, carrying the fishy smell of the sea, made her feel a little uncomfortable.

She likes a fresh breeze, but the wind at sea, while not murky, doesn't seem particularly fresh.

The warship's acceleration left all the fish that were swimming nearby far behind.

Dove then quietly peeked out and immersed himself in the sea breeze.

Perhaps Bray and Nisa don't like this kind of wind, but Dove really does.

This is the taste of the ocean; even living on land, she still longs for the scent of the sea.

She has an urge right now to jump off the boat and swim in the sea.

However, she was only imagining it; if she actually did it, it would definitely bother other people.

"The water flow has become turbulent," Dove muttered to himself, his eyes closed.

The originally smooth flow of water suddenly became chaotic.

As if to confirm Dove's whisper, the warship began to rock, its bow swaying from side to side.

"What's going on?" Nisha gripped the railing, watching the whirlpools forming on both sides of the ship.

The sea was calm before, so why did it suddenly become like this?

“It’s the waves,” Dove said to Nisha, standing on the deck with his eyes closed.

"Waves are coming from all directions."

"What a chaotic sea," Dove said with a hint of sadness.

The sea seemed to be churning because of someone's sorrow.

"Whoosh!!!" The seawater slammed over the railing and soaked the deck.

Bray stepped back a few paces in time to avoid getting wet.

But Dove remained motionless, letting the seawater wash over her.

"Is this the entrance to the secret realm?" Bray suddenly asked.

Bray said this because a huge whirlpool appeared directly in front of the ship.

The whirlpool was huge.

Even the "Great Enemy of God" warship is nothing more than a small fish in a pond to this vortex.

If this ship were to rush in, it would surely be swallowed up completely.

"Ah, yes, that's the entrance." Nisha exclaimed, feeling the spray from the rolling waves.

She could even see the Mathematical Society ships in the distance, also caught in the whirlpool.

Meanwhile, in the distance behind them, the fleet of the Bai Ting Kingdom slowly approached.

---

"See that whirlpool?" the captain said casually, crossing his legs and leaning back in his chair.

"Yes, I see it."

"Speed ​​up, charge in!" the captain issued a crazy order.

"Charge in?"

“Yes, the secret realm is right in front of us. Are we just going to leisurely stroll in instead of going in?” the captain retorted.

The sailor was speechless. Bray suddenly felt like he was about to be thrown off.

Because the ship's captain charged without saying a word, while the mine-laying crew was still on deck.

“…” Nisha stood steadily on the deck, enduring the inhuman impact.

As a knight, one should always be as steady as a mountain.

Something seems off, but don't worry about it.

Now, Nisha is watching in astonishment the shocking scene before her.

Caught in the whirlpool, Nisha looked up and found that everything above her was shrouded in blue seawater.

It was as if the sky had disappeared from the world.

To directly experience the magnificent waves, she chose to stand on the deck and breathe in the air filled with the strong scent of the sea.

However, the fact that Nisha was able to stand firm when the ship was plunged into the whirlpool shows how incredibly strong she is in every sense.

Bray couldn't be like Nisha, so he boldly chose to crawl under the deck.

They also dragged Dove along.

He wasn't strong enough to stand steadily while the entire ship was tossed about in all directions.

“Mr. Bray?” Doffin was also shocked by the scene in front of him, but before he could savor it, Bray pulled him off the deck.

"It's dangerous up there," Bray warned Doffin.

"Mmm." Dove nodded obediently; she also felt that it was dangerous outside.

But she still wanted to go see it.

This is contradictory, but not hard to understand.

Such magnificent waves are indeed a sight one may only witness once in a lifetime.

However, viewing that view is risky.

To stand firm on the deck, you need enough strength to grip the ship's railings; otherwise, you can easily be thrown off and swept into the turbulent currents.

Even Nisha wasn't standing in mid-air; she was holding onto something for support.

If Dove stays up there, terror will soon be swept up in the turbulence.

Although Bray knew that Dove was a good swimmer, who knew what dangers were lurking in the whirlpool?

There might even be a monster lurking in the turbulent waters, waiting to hunt down unlucky souls.

"Hey, where's Mr. Bray?" As Nisha was enjoying the breathtaking scenery, she realized that Mr. Bray was nowhere to be found.

"Wait a minute, aren't you going to look at this scene?" Nisha had assumed that Bray would feel the same way she did, experiencing the ups and downs.

I never expected Bray to crawl under the deck so readily.

“No interest,” Bray’s voice came from below deck.

Nisha was immediately embarrassed.

But just as Nisha was about to go down, she noticed something was wrong.

She turned her head sharply, her pupils shrinking involuntarily.

The ship unknowingly arrived at the bottom of the whirlpool, which is the narrowest part.

"BOOM!!!!!!!!!!" The seawater relentlessly pounded against the warship, completely engulfing it.

---

The ground is dry, but there are many marine creatures on this land where there is no seawater.

For example, starfish and coral.

All these marine creatures are left here, and you can even see dried-up fish on the ground.

Is this land somewhere? Of course not.

Bray was certain it wasn't.

The reason is simple: just by looking around, one can understand one's situation.

He was undoubtedly at the bottom of the sea, just in a place where there was no seawater.

The seawater seemed to be blocked by something, separated on both sides, creating a dry land space in the seabed.

However, when you look up, you still see a vast ocean. Sunlight shines through the deep water, illuminating this place and dispelling all the darkness that was there before.

The inhabitants of the ocean can be seen clearly through the seawater.

It seemed as if these marine creatures could break through the seawater and enter this space at any moment.

However, it's only seemingly true.

The marine life was completely unaware of the existence of this place and continued to live their lives as usual.

This is a closed space, the secret realm that the people of the Northern Continent have been discussing a lot lately.

It feels a lot like an underwater hotel, but it's obviously more mysterious and spectacular.

“So, it’s dangerous to stand on the deck.” Bray climbed out of the deck and sighed.

However, he discovered that the entire warship had capsized.

Given the current situation, it wouldn't be wrong to say it's stalled.

He slid down from the deck, which was tilted at nearly ninety degrees, to the ground and then waved to Dove.

The ship's deck was wide, and Bray managed to slide on it for several seconds.

After a moment's hesitation, Dove followed Bray down the slide.

"Ah!!!" Dove couldn't help but shout out as he skated.

However, she was quickly caught by Bray and gently placed on the ground.

After landing, Dove opened her eyes wide and looked around curiously.

Being in this secret realm, one can probably understand why some people are able to make a fortune here.

In addition to marine life, a large number of shipwrecks were also left in this area.

Those cargo ships, laden with countless goods and treasures, could not withstand natural disasters and sank to the ground, turning into wreckage.

The shipwreck remains were drained and pushed into this secret realm.

A simple rummage through the market and the discovery of some jewelry could make a person rich.

Bray soon discovered that he was not the first person to disembark.

"Huh? It's you." The captain sat idly on a rock, holding his pipe.
