Kapitel 38: For
(Am I currently sane? No. What kind of sane person would write 8 chapters in one day?)
Will raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me? Did you say something?"
Sarah shook her head. "It's nothing. I was probably just imagining things. Earlier on I was so sure that you were similar to someone I knew but the way you two act are completely different. I must have been imagining things."
"Ahaha, whatever you say Miss Sarah," said Will as his lips curved Into a small smile. "Anyways, all we have to do is line the net anchors in a semi circle."
"A semi circle?" Asked Sarah with a questioning look. "Why a semi circle?"
"You will see."
A loud thud suddenly interrupted the two as the knight captain threw a large turtle like monster onto the deck of the ship.
"HERE- IS- THE- SEA-MONSTER!" The knight captain panted as he sat down on the floor with an exhausted expression.
Will glanced over the sea monster turtle and gave an admiring glance towards the knight. "Oho, well done. This is indeed the B rank monster that I was hoping you would catch. Although I never really expected you to succeed on your first try, I have to say I am very impressed. You live up to your title as a knight. Well done."
"Y-you- mean- it?" Gasped the knight captain.
"Every single word," nodded Will as he gave the knight captain a small congratulatory clap. "And since you caught this sea monster yourself, all of it's materials, including its mana stone will belong to you."
The knight fell backwards and laid down on the deck with his arms and legs spread out and waited a moment to catch his breath before raising his right hand and yelled, "LETS GOOOOOOOOOO!"
Sarah gave the knight captain a look of admiration as Will gave a slight shrug. "Although it's good and all, I think you should take off your armor like the other knight I told off."
"What?"
"You might have succeeded in catching the sea turtle monster but If you happen to slip up and fall into the water, I fear that your armor will drag you down and you will drown."
"...."
"You don't have to," said Will as he dropped on other net anchor into the water, "it's just safer if you do. You will have a higher chance of surviving if you fall into the water."
".... fine."
Will steered the boat another hundred meters before the semi circle was completed while the knight captain undressed his armor.
"Now that the semi circle is completed, what do we do asked Sarah as Will started rummaging around his bag for supplies.
"Well you see," said Will as he took out all the cans of bait out from his bag and placed it on the floor. "Now we have to place the bait into the center of the semi circle and slowly close the circle by one anchor every thirty minutes."
"Huh?"
"Basically," explained Will as he frowned at the multiple cans of bait before picking up two and isolating them from the rest, "the sea monster will enter our semi circle of net after smelling the bait we placed and swarm around in that area for a long time. After sea monster do that, we will slowly close the net so that the sea monsters in our circle of net will stay in as they eat our bait while more sea monsters will come into our gradually closing circle net trap as they are attracted to the smell."
"Won't the sea monster avoid the nets or break through them?"
Will shook his head, "don't worry about that. First of all, the net is made with C rank spider silk and wont break apart that easily from a couple of low rank F rank and E rank sea monsters. It would take at least a few angry C rank sea monsters to break the net completely. Secondly, most of the sea monsters hunt with their eyes. Since the sea is so clear and easy to see, the sea monsters would be able to see the net and avoid it. They would follow the sent of bait around the net until they find an opening."
"Why do they avoid the net?"
"Sea monsters don't know what a net is. All they see is a wall of something unnatural. The sea monsters may be dumb but why would they slam their head into the wall? Also, curiosity killed the little sea monsters. A sea monster that would be willing to approach the net without hesitation would already be dead by now."
"What if they jump over the net?"
"Then I'll shoot them with my bow and arrow." Said Will with a confident grin. "I am confident in my aim."
"Alright then. I think I understand."
"Great," said will as he opened a can of bait and threw it into the sea. "Let's get fishing then."
Will turned around and gave the knight captain a good look. "Do you need a recovery potion sir knight captain.... or should I say miss instead?"
"Shut up," said a beautiful girl with brilliant black hair who had taken off most of her gleaming armor.
"Well if you need one tell me," said Will with a shrug. "Otherwise you can go out to the sea and fish again."
"...." the knight captain gave Will a sullen look before heading out back into the sea on her little boat while holding a somewhat flimsy looking fishing rod that was way sturdier than it looked."
"Are you not surprised by the fact that she was a girl?" Asked Sarah with a surprised look.
"Not really," answered Will as he took out another fishing rod and started setting it up. "I always expected for her to follow you along?"
"You expected her to be a girl?"
"It wouldn't make sense to send a noble lady with male escorts all by herself. At least, your strongest escort should almost definitely be either and honest married man, a female, or an eunuch. Nobles don't want accidents to happen along the way after all. That is the noble way."
