Chapter 68: A Map Drawn with Blood

Max Level Miscellaneous Character

The party fell into deep trouble with the treasure map in the middle. In fact, Ivan thought it was out of the blue to suddenly do a treasure hunt here, but there must be a reason why the spear of the lost warrior reacted like that.

As it is everywhere, especially in Nord, the meaning of the name was very important. If the lost warrior’s spear pointed the way, Ivan could not ignore it.

Even if this was not the will of the spear, but the will of the gods watching him from heaven.

‘There’s no way those old men would want me to search for the treasure peacefully.’

A very fierce battlefield would be waiting.

There must be a bloody battlefield where he can go one step further as a hero.

Ivan had confidence in the gods of Asgard based on such distrust.

“They always want to lead me to paradise. It will be like that this time as well.”

As Ivan spoke so bluntly, the expressions of his colleagues around him changed subtly.

The Norse paradise was Valhalla, where people constantly died and killed each other. It wasn’t something to be happy about, considering what it would look like in the eyes of others.

Delfino tried his best to make a casual expression. He knows how much Valhalla means to Norse warriors, so he can’t show his dislike. It was a religious disrespect.

Of course, he knew very well that Ivan was not very religious, unlike a normal Norse warrior. But that’s why he became more careful.

Even though Ivan curses God like a habit, if he borrows the power of God to that extent, how much is he loved by the god?

In the Norse, the surname Esirsson could only be used by descendants of the gods. Literally, a demigod who inherited the blood of the gods.

He thought it was just a legend to reinforce legitimacy, as is often the case, but looking at Ivan, Delfino changes his mind. He is wondering if that was the truth.

Even if it has faded over the years, it’s still the blood of a god, so even if Ivan cursed them like that, he still could use their divine powers.

So, Delfino had no choice but to laugh awkwardly. A commander’s son can curse his father, but a common soldier can’t do that.

“If the gods want it, there must be a reason. It’s worth investigating even if you’re not just interested in treasure.”

As Delfino nodded his head, Ferocious Tooth lit up his eyes.

“If God wants it, it may be a more precious treasure than we think!”

Sea, treasure, exploration.

Ferocious Tooth was already fully wet with the magic of those words.

“Well, I don’t know about the treasure, but I’ll be able to fight until I get tired of it…”

“That’s not bad either. Battle is a reward for a warrior. Because sacrifices to our goddess are always insufficient.”

As they said that, even Irene nodded her head as if she couldn’t help it.

“Let’s do it if you want to.”

Ivan made the decision, but honestly, he didn’t know where to start. Rather than knowing a lot, he knew nothing. The sea was so unfamiliar.

Fortunately, there was someone in the party who had experienced the sea. Not just watching, soaking, and playing in the water, but actually going out to sea on a boat.

Irene pondered for a long time what she would say first, and then she opened her mouth.

“First, we’ll have to get an evaluation to see if the treasure map is real. And there’s got to be someone who can read it properly.”

She looked at her parchment and sighed.

“At first glance, it looks like an island, but we need someone to take us there. Ship and crew.”

She tells the story of how difficult and complex it can be, saying that not everyone can find it based on a single treasure map.

“So, do you know anything about those people?”

When Ivan asked so, Irene smoked the tobacco with a complicated expression. And nodded her head.

“I had someone familiar with some time ago. He’s obsessed with stuff like this. He’ll be able to help if we can find him.”
