The Baby Raising A Devil

Chapter 202

TL: Zimmings

After talking with her, I quickly headed back to the mansion, and ran into my dad’s room.

“Dad! Dad!!”

When I shouted, my dad, who was looking at the documents with his glasses on, raised his head.

He took off his glasses, put them down and looked at me.

“What’s going on?”

“Daddy, a turtle ship. Please make a turtle ship.”

“Turtle… what?”

Johann, Henry and Isaac, who were with him, looked at me in confusion as well.

“A ship? Why a turtle? A shark is much better. Or maybe a whale.”

“I know. But it had to be a turtle ship.”

I don’t know why, but it needed to be like that.

My family exchanged glances.

Dad was the first to speak up.

“Why do you need a ship all of a sudden?”

“For Deglid. I want to make her wish come true.”

It’s just like when I fulfill the devil’s wishes and get their abilities.

“Her wish is to restore honor. So I’m trying to let her win the war against Westria.”

“It would be difficult. Leblaine, she’s over 60. I don’t think she would receive permission as well. Above all, we don’t know when she will be able to participate in the war against Westria if we build a ship now.”

Henry said as if to comfort me.

“It won’t take long to remodel Vallua’s ship. If we put in a few good mages, including Veronica, the time could be shortened even more.”

I shouted with a bright expression “Wow!” and my father looked at me.

“But a war is not a joke. She will be responsible for the lives of hundreds or thousands. We can’t risk the lives of people just for honor.”

This was the difference between the Duke of Amity and my father.

The Duke of Amity puts justice, cause, and honor first, but my father was more logical.

If anyone asks who is better, everyone will think it was the Duke of Amity.

‘But I think my dad is right.’

I took the parchment from Dad’s office and drew something crooked with a pen.

“What is this strange thing?”

Isaac, who was holding his chin, frowned.

“A crane formation. Chul-soo…… So, according to him, it is a very good strategy.”

“Huh?”

At my words, Isaac asked, “What is that?”

“Without knowing it properly, you will use it as a tactic? The strategy is about circling the enemies all around. It’s a tactic used quite well in battles. But it’s never easy to use in naval battles.”

Isaac, the future commander of the Dubblede Knights, explained the shortcomings of the strategy. Then he turned to Zachary, who was waiting outside the door, and asked, “Isn’t it true?”

Zachary looked at me and nodded.

“That’s right. It is difficult to use in a wide space. If the opponent breaks our formation, it’ll take time to regroup and it’ll be a mess. Besides, unless we have more allies than enemies, it will be difficult to even surround them.”

[If so-]

“How about this place?!”

The etwal shone brightly, and Chul-soo came out with an excited face. My family frowned when they saw the man with black hair and eyes come out. Chul-soo didn’t care, took out the map in my hand and pointed to a place

“Surprisingly, this place is similar to the terrain during the Battle of Hansan Island. And most importantly, cannonballs! In a naval battle, do you go to the other side and fight? That’s a no no. We’ll make the enemies go crazy with cannonballs. And the important thing is…!”

“What is this madman talking about?”

Chul-soo shook his head, raised his head and said solemnly.

“I am a fan of historical dramas.”

“…….”

“…….”

“…….”

Everyone in the room looked at him as if he was crazy.

***

However, it seems that Chul-soo’s words were not nonsense. First of all, it seems that the fact that the strategy will be used in naval battles is a surprising idea, so Zachary and Isaac shook their heads.

I immediately informed Deglid to ask for support.

“Please give me some money.”

As I held out my hands and spoke, she narrowed her forehead.

“What?”

“The ship had to be remodeled. It’s the Vallua ship. Dad said I can’t give it to you for free. It’s because Dubblede worked so hard to get it.”

‘I can’t give you my money.’

Soon, she told the servant to bring something out. There were papers and a small pocket.

“Land document? Will this be enough to pay for everything…”

“It is a vast land of 30,000 square kilometers. It’s contaminated land, but in the next 10 years, the purification will be over.”

“Still, it’s empty.”

“Doesn’t empty space mean you can do anything? Also, see the pockets.”

When I opened the pocket, it was full of jewels. As I, who had received a jewelry store as a birthday present last year, blinked without an expression, she said.

“It is a very special gem. It is passed down from generation to generation to the eldest sons of the Louerg imperial family.”

‘Is that so?’

It was definitely of good quality, and it was an unusual gem. I touched a jewel in my pocket.

She narrowed her forehead.

“Don’t you like it? If you don’t, I’ll look through my inventory…”

“No! It’s great! I like this, thank you!”

I quickly grabbed it and bowed my head down several times.

She looked at me wondering why I changed my attitude, but she said, “I’m glad you like it.” and nodded her head.

“Is that the end of what you have to say?”

“…….”

“Hey, Lady Dubblede.”

“…….”

“Child.”

“……huh?!”

I was too absorbed in seeing the jewels.

“You look very fond of it.”

“Yes…….”

“Great, now go back.”

“Yes!”

I answered quickly and left the palace, and I headed to the hope mercenary guild.

Seria, the chairman, and Trigon, who were talking in the office, saw me and got up.

“Lady? Oh my gosh, your face is so red. Did you have a fever…”

Seria touched my forehead with a worried face.

I said, hugging the jewelry bag tightly.

“Seria…”

“Yes.”

“There are a lot of jewels we bought when I was looking for the devil’s passage. Sell it all. We don’t have to suffer anymore.”

“Why… Did you find it?”

I grabbed the jewel in my pocket and handed it to Seria. The chairman and Trigon were pleased.

“That’s a relief. We should find the passage before the temple.”

“Yes. So which of these is the devil’s passage?

I said with a blank expression to the chairman’s words.

“All of it.”

“……?”

“Huh?”

“Pardon?”

I answered them again loudly.

“This is all the devil’s passage.”

I saw it

No, I hit the lottery.

‘No. More than that. What do we call this?’

Then the etwal shone and Chul-soo said,

[Powerball! You won the Powerball!]

‘Is that better than the lottery?’

[Yes.]

Then it’s a powerball!

I won the powerball.

“Yes!!”

***

I left the jewelry bag on the table as the chairman, Seria, Trigon, and Zachaty, who had finished checking the carriage, sat down.

The chairman asked.

“How’s your divine power now?”

“I think I might be able to summon one.”

Then Seria quickly took out the mana stones.

“The mana stones you have secured are quite good. If you absorb the mana in advance, wouldn’t it be possible to summon one more?”

“Great.”

I absorbed the mana stones given by Seria and my body felt warm.

Seria nodded her head.

“Records show that some devils are helpful, and some aren’t. It would be great if it’s Pymon who has a lot of information, or Boone, who lets us meet the dead. It would be especially great if it’s the devil of time.”

Everyone sitting around nodded their heads. I said while rubbing my palms.

“Which one should I pick?”

“Let’s do the most expensive one.”

Trigon solemnly pointed to a diamond the size of a palm.

Boone please come out.

Or the devil of time.

I gulped, grabbed the diamond, and very carefully poured the divine power.

Krkrk-!

The place vibrated, and a pillar of light appeared in front of me.

‘Now, who are you?’

My eyes twinkled and I looked at the one who appeared with a pillar of light.
