Congratulations on discovering the current world. the main mission has been unlocked.
[Main Mission: A legend of the sea]
[Like in the first world, the writer has greater freedom of action and also greater ease of completion. Your only task is to be known by a large number of people as a Legend of the Sea. Provided the minimum reward has been met, the writer can request to return at any time, but the reward may be lower.]
[An adventure at sea, that's the goal of this mission. Go, be a saint or a demon. as long as your name is etched in the history of this world, your mission will be complete.]
Rigel finished reading the words in the Book and became thoughtful, he scratched his chin slightly. this mission was incredibly easy, but it could also be quite complicated.
He had a very large margin for maneuver. he could completely ignore the original story and just act alone. As long as he became a legend, he could get away with it, but the reward probably wouldn't be good.
So... what to do?
The problem with having so many options for action is that he was unsure where to go for a moment, but as he was thinking, he heard loud noises inside the forge and saw the guards running towards it. He sighed. he couldn't use invisibility spells yet, nor did he have money to buy an invisibility cloak, so he simply left. If he remembered correctly, the plot was still in its early stages. he needed to wait until the Black Pearl attacked, then he could decide what to do until that moment.
Walking around like a child didn't attract much attention. after all, at that time, seeing children working in simpler, more manual jobs wasn't uncommon. But a "noble" child is quite different. On his way, he was stared at by everyone he passed, and even two guards offered to take him home.
The clothes he had brought were indeed appropriate for that era, but what he hadn't considered was acquiring clothes from the lower classes.
Rigel had been accustomed to luxury for 11 years. he couldn't even remember the last time he needed to use something like "rags".
If he continued to wander around alone, he would probably be stopped at some point. after all, a noble child walking alone is something very strange to ignore.
So Rigel also had another problem: he had no money!
He had brought gold, silver, and jewels, thinking he could exchange them for money depending on where he went, but the problem of being a child resurfaced.
In the end, Rigel had to improvise. he used wingardium leviosa to steal someone's coin purse, took the coins, and left a gold ring in its place before returning it.
He had no idea what the current conversion rate was, but he really just needed some money right now.
His endeavor bore fruit. he obtained nine pounds, ten shillings, and forty-five pence.
It wasn't much, but still quite a lot. he'd stolen it from one of those guys wearing wigs, so the amount couldn't be small.
He didn't stop there. he searched for a street kid. It wasn't difficult to find one. At that time, poverty was as common as birds flying in the sky. boys who had lost their parents, or perhaps never even knew them, wandered everywhere, including in Port Royal.
Fortunately, the city was peaceful and robberies were rare, the reason being that the city was a base for the British Royal Navy in the Caribbean.
Rigel traded 3 shillings for the clothes off one of the children's backs. The child looked at him as if he were an idiot, until he took the coin and greed got the better of him.
He said they were going to his house to change clothes, but in reality he took Rigel to a dark alley where other brats appeared.
Rigel looked at the five children with a clear sigh, but there was no fear there, even with the brats wielding some sharp metal rods, Rigel ignored them, instead waving his hand, drawing his wand and closing his eyes as he said the spell.
"Lumos Maxima!"
