Hwaryeong just wanted to complete the Contact for North T. purely as a favor she could clearly see how Weed saw it from his expression.
His skull was horribly stiff! Weed said.
“So you follow the trail of the loser eh. First you take 810 gold now you take my quest!”
This was an unreasonable assumption since Weed couldn’t accept the quest anyway. But such excessive stubbornness leads to unreasonable feelings. Hwaryeong said.
“Bellotte, you should take this quest too.”
“Can I?”
“Of course. Even if you don’t I will still have to do it so might as well.”
Bellotte accepted the quest with Hwaryeong. Weed mumbled words as they passed by.
“Have you also bought salt that was 200 won more expensive? I bet both of you bought salt as high as a mountain. The luxury of a sinner.”

After meeting with North T. Weed went to Linda port in the northern harbor to ‘prepare for departure’.
The ghost crew did not need many supplies since they did not eat.
The problem was the Geomchis.
Though fishing for their food was not an issue, excessive amounts of weight would slow the sailing speed of the boat significantly.
It was possible to double your carrying capacity if you had intermediate sailing but right now Weed was only at beginner level 4. It was impossible to use the ghost ship as a cruise ship.
Weed went up to Geomchi3 and said, “Sahyung, do you want to remain on Ipia Island?”
“Why?” Suspicion had crept into his voice. He had followed Weed to the island from Morata to help on his quest, why would he want to stay? Weed heartlessly thought.
‘You’re heavy and you eat a lot. Why can’t you understand!’
“Yesterday the beer was really good right.”
“Yeah the beer was really delicious.”
“I hear there is even finer beers here. I hear they have barbecues all throughout the day and night with tall, pretty girls in bikinis.”
“!??!”
Geomchi3 was concentrating on the story.
For the next five minutes Weed told him all about the benefits of Ipia Island.
“Ipia Island could be called a heaven on Earth, a paradise, you can accomplish anything here. The women are more aggressive after all the drinking with colleagues at the beach parties. And why is this? Because in a resort women are more relaxed. Why hitting on women is a common sight. Even I could get 5 friend registration.”
However, any woman Weed called out as a skeleton froze.
Though there were at least 5 women who sought to register friends with Zephyr.
“Uh, the Island of Ipia…..”
Geomchi3 awareness drifted as he looked down the fabulous long beach at the 5 supposed women…
Disciplining his body in real life made talking to women a distant dream. However, here in Royal Road there was ample opportunity to party and talk.
Among the Geomchis, 30 of them now had successful romantic relationships; there was a growing frenzy in the dojo.
Weed said in regrettable voice.
“It’s a great opportunity but what a pity. I have to go out to sea and who knows when I might come back to Ipia Island? The voyage might take several months."
“There’s great courage in self-sacrifice but do you need to miss every opportunity? This island will surely be an exhilarating and thrilling sea adventure … the possibility of love blossoming under the sun is supposed to be very high! There are even American women out there!”
Geomchi3’s eyes were locked towards where Weed was pointing to.
The primal instincts of a man cannot be denied! Geomchi3 was shaken by the presence of such beauty.
Honestly, who would want to sail at a snails pace. Weed, who could not really show expressions as a skeleton was struggling to appear sincere said.
“Sahyung, in Royal Road you’ve so far only been in battles. Don’t you think it’s time you took a hiatus? Enjoy Ipia Island, go sunbathing or even hunt for crabs.”
“Well, if it’s okay with you Weed.”
“Yes, Geomsachi3-sahyung. If it’s sahyung, then your loyalty can been seen with your words alone. Not just you but the other Geomchis should also share this wondrous opportunity.”
Weed stated seriously. It was a serious scam. Geomchi3 put his strong hand on Weed’s stiff shoulder.
“Thank you!
“You can truly be called youngest.”
The Geomchis were left on Ipia Island as the ghost fleet ran away.
