chapter 197
There are two artifacts that I originally considered for movement.
Fairy shoes and a windscale cloak.
Among them, the fairy’s shoes are still owned by the fairy world. Or maybe he was just thinking about coming out to the human world.
‘As soon as I come out anyway, I’m going to fall in love with Laves and even sell my shoes…’ … .’
If you explain the shoes to Alkaido, he will tell you the moment he gets them, so it’s hard to do anything right now.
All that remains is the Windscale Cloak.
This was something I thought of when I was thinking about traveling with Kane in the beginning, but it was an artifact that I gave up because it was too far away at the time.
‘But things are different now.’
Because it is also the South Sea.
This ancient relic artifact was located in the Namhae Islands.
A wind-scaled cape made by collecting the scales that fell from the fairy’s butterfly-like wings.
If you want to possess this, you need a unit with a flowing fairy lineage or special prerequisites.
So, I had obtained the minimum qualifications from the Fairy Queen I met at that time on the condition of bartering for candy at Gavioren, the border area.
‘If I’m lucky, I’ll be able to get the Sea Fairy Queen’s certification once more and lower the level of difficulty.’
I stretched out on the sofa in the cabin and started looking for the places where the sea fairies were arranged before entering the whirlpool area.
“Adelian. It is due to arrive soon. But everyone was reluctant to go closer to that island. Are you okay?”
Zero opened the window attached to the cabin and raised his arms to ask.
Seeing that, I also did not get up from lying down and only moved my head to look at it before answering.
“The mermaids probably won’t show up, so it should be okay?”
“There are rumors among the pirates that they only go to strange places after seeing us.”
… That’s not wrong.
The places I went to when I came to Namhae Island were the Vortex Zone at the memorial site of the Evil Gods Church, and the Sea Witch’s Dungeon on the island of the Mermaids.
‘I went to a lot of places in a short time.’
As it is literally Namhae Island, there are many islands. The fact that there are many islands means that there are more lands that are placed there rather than places where people live and manage.
On top of that, since this continent is so mysterious, all sorts of strange things happen to uninhabited islands.
So, in fact, no matter how pirates are, unless it’s a certain place, they sail mainly to safe places to plunder, but it seems that they are anxious because they keep crossing the ocean because of me.
Of course, there is no dissatisfaction thanks to the periodic sprinkling of money, but anxiety was unavoidable.
“Across the sea, there are many places called forbidden. Of course, most of them have a legend about why it’s dangerous or why it’s tangled, so it’s forbidden where you can even guess.”
Halfway through, Zero tapped the window sill, saying that there was also a danger zone with no information or rumors.
“It looks like that here too. There are no trees taller than a person, and there is only one incredibly large lake in the center of the island on a flat terrain.”
It’s a deformed shape that can be called a ring shape when viewed from the air. added Zero, staring at me blankly.
“There is no fish living in that lake, and the water is clear, but when you try to drink it, you get nauseous, so no one docks at this island.”
“I told you. I need a means of transportation.”
When I replied casually, Zero scratched his head.
“Wouldn’t that be dangerous?”
“Well, you or the other kids will help me. I believe in you because you have become a lot stronger.”
From my words, the inside of Zero’s green jewel seems to glow. Smiling a little softly, Zero straightened his body, which had been leaning against the window sill.
“sure. I’m pretty strong now. perhaps.”
I glanced back and smiled.
“I will become as strong as a dragon.”
If Rachel hears that, she’ll attack at once. I get up from the sofa giggling and Zero steps away from the window sill.
“Let’s eat and depart for the island.”
said Zero as he opened the cabin door.
“What is today’s menu?”
When I jokingly asked the question, Zero put one hand on his chest as if in rhythm and answered politely.
“Steamed fish with spicy sauce and clear seaweed soup, which Adelian-sama likes.”
Oh, seaweed soup is delicious.
it’s a shame. No perilla seeds here. Perilla seaweed soup is delicious.
“Come quickly, quickly!”
Down on deck, Rachel knocks on the table with a knife in one hand and a fork in the other.
After replying that he knew that, he touched Kruger’s ring and called Levi.
“Levy, let’s eat.”
“Huh… rice? rice!”
After the Storm Beads were stolen, I heard that a small amount of mana is consumed even to maintain the body, so I made it nest in the ring to save even a little.
Are you still sleeping in it?
I picked up Levy, who was softly rubbing his eyes, and sat him on a chair with cushions piled high.
“Eat a lot, Bocchan.”
– Manager. Eat evenly.
A glass of alcohol is always placed in front of Luna. They are evenly distributed in front of Kane, and he tends to eat anything other than green juice, so he sometimes pushes Kane with food that Zero thinks is a bit of a failure.
Rachel is a sheep. In the case of fish, even if the thorns or fins are a little less trimmed, there is no complaint as long as the amount is large right away. In fact, it was common for fish to be chewed up to the head.
Zero likes seafood or vegetables more than meat, and Leaf now doesn’t need to consume energy separately thanks to her mana heart, but she enjoys the taste itself, so she always serves her little by little so she can eat the whole thing.
Levy likes carb chunks like bread, cookies, and cakes.
The dishes prepared and prepared by Zero in line with it were laid out at a distance where everyone could comfortably eat.
In addition, right in front of me was a steamed steamed fish with all the thorns on it.
The flesh is soft and moist, and it is tender enough that you can eat it with a spoon even after roasting the skin part once.
The sauce was not irritating, but it went well with the bread more than I thought. If you eat only the fish meat first and dip the bread with ham in the middle in the remaining sauce, it will taste like pizza bread.
“It was also a good idea to install a simple fire pit. Bread is delicious only when it is soft.”
It feels like Alice’s pirate ship is gradually becoming Zero’s mobile cooking ship.
Well, other pirates would prefer soft bread to grated biscuits.
It’s efficiency is a bit low, but it’s a magic stove that raises firepower by inserting magic stones, so it’s less dangerous.
‘It’s a part that can be solved with money.’
After the meal, I was picked up by Kane and started to move to the island.
It was not necessary for everyone to rush to the place, so they decided to go only with Kane and Levi, who was in the ring.
Now this insult and humiliation is still to this day.
If you get a wind scale cape, you can move by floating your body in the air for a while.
It reduces the load on the legs and gives a movement bonus to movement, so there should be no hindrance to movement even if it doesn’t follow Kane’s full speed.
In addition, if you get fairy shoes that allow you to change direction, accelerate, and decelerate later, you’ll be able to walk in the air for a while, and it’s no different than having an evasion ability.
“The lake bounces mana.”
When I arrived at the sandy beach, I shrugged as I stretched at what Kane said as he lowered me.
“Do you remember the fairies we met at the border Gavioren?”
Kane opened his mouth at my words to remember how he got in between the tree roots.
“Should I be invited?”
“That’s the best way.”
I looked around. A ring-shaped island of sand with no trees taller than a man.
In such an environment, honey or tree sap would be valuable.
Unlike the forest fairy, the sea fairy must have a slightly different diet.
‘Basically fairies like sweet things.’
I opened the subspace and took out a candy bottle.
“I heard that the fairy nest at that time was exposed when the entrance collapsed in a landslide.”
“that’s right.”
“Then are you planning on destroying this place as well?”
“no!”
I grabbed Kane, who was gathering mana with both hands. You destructive bastard.
“I will try in peace. At least it’s easier to meet the sea fairy.”
If things didn’t work out, I would have no choice but to force myself into the place where the artifact was, but I didn’t intend to use such drastic measures right now.
“It’s something you’ll use, so shouldn’t you get it quickly?”
“Are you afraid that things will run away if you slow down?”
I slowly approached the lake. The water is so clear that the sky is reflected like a mirror, so it feels like you can’t see inside.
And I don’t know how far in there, but there were no water plants or small minnows on the edge of the lake.
It’s clear and clean, but it’s like a lake where nothing can live. It is clear that this is not a typical place.
“Seeing that it deflects mana and interferes with detection at the same time, the entire lake is enchanted.”
“It’s probably not that dangerous magic.”
Even if I have a dangerous spell thanks to my sense of floating, I can’t notice it if it’s awareness or mind-type magic.
The feeling was like that. Fairies originally like peaceful things.
“It’s like a kind of magic that makes you feel moderately offended and quickly leave this island. A normal person would feel uncomfortable.”
Well, since there are no people living in a lake that is so clear and mirror-like, and it is said that the water is not drinkable, ordinary people might think of a ghost story and withdraw their feet.
‘But I need a cloak.’
Like Handel and Gretel, I dropped candies into the lake one by one instead of bread slices, rolled them, and started walking along the shore.
“Are you planning on luring me with it like last time?”
“Keep in mind. Fairies are like children, they like to play pranks and eat snacks. And basically, fairies like dessert.”
He put a green grape-flavored candy in his mouth and rolled it, then handed the candy bottle to Kane.
Looking at the guy who puts his hand into the bottle and picks it up, he looks like a human even though he has become so strong.
“Nowadays, you seem to be good at talking to pirates.”
An adult humanoid male.
Wasn’t it the most despised and hated class?
As I smirked at Kane’s progress and put my arm around him, Kane narrowed his eyebrows a little.
“Aren’t they overlooking the fact that they are pirates too much?”
Well, they just stand quietly in front of us, but they are also a tribe that sells people into slavery and eats their tears.
however.
“Just because you’re human doesn’t mean you have to eat someone else’s back. Now that you know that too, it must have become a bit harmful.”
Not only humans, but all intelligent beings, unless they are born with an angelic mind, quarrels and conflicts. Selfish behavior is unavoidable.
At least among the elves, traitors came out, and even among the beasts, there were people who were jealous of Hula.
Even in the midst of that, those who act with conviction are amazing.
That’s why people like Reinhardt of the border and Arman, the future steel admiral, are called heroes.
“Besides, you’re not weak enough to let anyone take advantage of you or trick you. Originally, the strong should be generous.”
After all, the world is where everyone lives together.
At least, survival games are more than building a house, gathering food, building a fence, and crafting tools.
It is quick and convenient for a group of people to gather and share one by one.
Even if it’s farming or simple volunteer work, you’ll know it once you’ve been there. You have no choice but to feel the reason why people live together.
The number of people itself is power and property, but it is emotionally very lonely to ignore it and live like a single person.
“What do you want to do with your life later?”
“Didn’t you decide to become your knight?”
I laughed and shrugged.
“It’s not like that when you get older. Assuming that there are no evil denominations and the continent is peaceful.”
At my question, Kane casts his eyes away for a moment.
“well. I would live in the countryside with my younger sister. or.”
When the word “sister” came out of Kane’s mouth, I slightly looked away.
“Whatever you do, help more.”
With a slight smile, I raised my eyebrows and turned my head. You said it on purpose. I know for sure how I’ll come out.
“This child… … .”
Cheak-!
The moment I was about to grumble at Kane, the water of the lake, which had not even rippled, stretched out and swallowed Kane and me.
