Chapter 840: Scavengers

(Unedited)

…

Inside the ship's hull, the rooms are filled with people. But in one particular room, there are mages who are standing outside of it while waiting for something. Some of them have heard that their master will help the woman who is supposed to be the daughter of the viscount.

When they first discovered that the woman is a hunchback everyone on the ship was totally shocked. They heard that the viscount doted on his daughter too much, who would have known that his daughter is actually like this.

And now they are going to see how their master could cure her condition. They are all intrigued that those who have no work would immediately go to this place.

This includes Im Jae, Vilma Song, and Hua Xiao, as women they are curious about how this could happen. However, Shin Jiao did not let them get inside the room.

It has already been an hour since they started and they heard some painful grunt and scream from inside, and then it has turned silent. They are a bit worried about what happened and wanted to rush inside, but the door is completely secured.

30 minutes later, the door opened and Shin Jiao's figure walks out of the room. His expression shows that nothing seems to have happened inside the room.

"Take some people and clean the room, but do not bother the patient. She needs some rest…" Shin Jiao gave some instructions.

"Is she alright? Was it successful?" Hua Xiao asked with concern in her eyes.

Shin Jiao just nodded his head.

"That's good then… What… what did you do in there? She seemed to be in extreme pain…" asked Vilma Song who is standing on the side.

"I did a spinal reconstruction… she was just shocked when I inserted the needle to anesthetize her. Haha…" Shin Jiao chuckled.

…

2 hours later, Olivia slowly opens her eyes and saw that she is lying in bed in a decorated room. When she looks around, she discovered that she is already inside her own room wearing a different dress. She tried moving and discovered that her movement has already returned and the sensation she had lost before is already back.

She screamed at that time due to fear. Though Master Shin told her that she would feel that way, she was still worried and panicked.

As she lay calmly in the bed, she has discovered that she is actually lying flat. And is looking at the ceiling directly. Realizing that something is wrong, she quickly sat up and then ran towards the mirror.

What greeted her is a beautiful woman standing straight up in a perfect posture. She was stunned and almost unable to believe what she is seeing. For her whole life, she lived hidden from the world. She could only go out and pretend to be a servant instead of the Viscount daughter to prevent others from shaming her father.

Though she is beautiful her body was deformed and some of the servants who would travel with her wound look at her in disdain.

They did not know that she was the true master.  But that saved her from the dangerous situation inside the bandit cave. However, the person who was impersonating her suffered at the hands of those bandits.

When her status was revealed, many people liked her kind nature, but there are those who detest her and her deformed body.

But now, in front of the mirror, she could see a beautiful young woman and it made her feel really happy.

Tears began to pour out of her eyes as the years that she has suffered are now over. She can now go out confidently and show herself in public. She is now free to do anything she wanted and free to love and be loved.

Upon thinking to this point, her mind drifted to the man she was really thankful for, that mysterious person who saved her and gave her a new life.

Upon thinking of that man's request, she could only say that his request is too trivial that she can even give him more if he wanted to.

While she is admiring herself in the mirror, someone knocked on the door.

Upon opening, she saw a beautiful young woman holding some food on a tray.

"Ah, Miss Jae… Come in!…" Olivia said with a smile.

Im Jae showed a surprised look on her face upon seeing the beautiful woman in front of her. When she remembers how she looks back then, she could not associate this woman with her previous hunched self.

"You're awake! that's good… Master Shin told me to give you this meal and also take these medicines…" Im Jae said as she placed the tray on the small table.

"How are you feeling?" she asked.

"I'm fine… I feel… I feel like a different person." Olivia said while another bout of tears began to come out of her pretty eyes.

"Oh… Don't cry… I can understand how you feel…"

The two young women talked for a while inside the room.

…

The flying ship travels slowly and soon reached a tall ridge of a high cliff. When they went past the ridge, they suddenly saw a group of flying creatures coming towards them.

At the back of those creatures sat people with spears in their hands.

"All mage guards, all hands on deck! We are under attack! The enemies are coming in that direction!" shouted the person while pointing in the direction of the flying creatures.

When he saw them, he thought that they might just be some flying beasts, however, upon noticing the people on the beast's back, he knew that they are enemies. 

Upon hearing his shout, everyone immediately got into a defensive position.

Shin Jiao and the rest look at those flying creatures and were a bit amazed. This is because those things are actually giant bats. Those men riding on their backs painted their faces like some indigenous tribe while waving their spears in the air.

Shin Jiao noticed a collection of mana in the air as the spears in their hands glowed.

Then, when they threw the spears, they flew at an astonishing rate and suddenly hit the ship's barrier.

Since the ship is flying the energy of the ship is mostly used in its flight. However, a part of it is still used for its shield. But it seems that the strength of those spears is not normal because when it hits the barrier, the barrier actually dimmed a little bit.

"Hmmm… Level 30 warriors…" Shin Jiao muttered upon seeing the strength of those people.

The mage guards on the deck did not hesitate as they change their weapons to rifle staff. Then they began to pick a target and quickly retaliate.

The fast-moving projectiles easily hit their targets and balls of fire appear in the air.

Those unlucky giant bats were turned into crisp as soon as they were hit by those projectiles. And this has caused panic to envelop the entire group.

"Eeek! Eeek!" the people shouted and the entire group immediately retreated.

Several bats were still hit by the mage guards who pick them out like flies in their retreat.

"Interesting… I never thought that people in this world can also control beasts…" Shin Jiao muttered.

Im Ao who is sitting beside him turned his gaze back to the food on the table.

"Big Brother Shin, those things are called Scavengers… when I was with my father, he told us about those group of bandits. They would attack anyone who enters their territory. I guess we are in their territory now." Im Ao's cute voice said as he continues eating.

"Scavengers eh… are they active in this region?" Shin Jiao muttered as he suddenly has a plan.

If Central Town has these kinds of enemies in these parts, then he might just offer them some help. Mages already hold power in their bodies just like warriors, giving them another weapon would not change anything. They would just have enough power to topple their opponent faster.

Though he did not know what change would happen next, in this chaotic world, who could predict anything?

And so, Shin Jiao decided to start manufacturing Rifle Staff.

Rifle Staff is not like guns. They rely solely on a mage's innate power. This means the stronger the Mage is the more powerful the burst the staff could give. But of course, there is a limit to it. The most powerful spell the staff could handle is that of a High Mage. Higher than that, the staff might even fail and explode.

Shin Jiao decided to create a manufacturing line inside the ship's hull. This time he would divide those that are working in the canned meat and sent the rest to the Rifle Staff manufacturing plant.

With this in mind, he wanted to start this plan immediately. So he stood up from the dining table and was about to go below deck to start when he noticed the two beauties walking towards them.

The rest of the people on the table showed a surprised look on their faces.

Vilma Song and Hua Xiao were amazed to see that Olivia Anis Merl is already fine and is able to stand up normally.

The girls welcomed her to the dining table which is located at the deck of the ship.
