Chapter 265
Chapter 265
Even after the sun went down, the Big Ship ferry continued to operate. Relying only on the moonlight and the faint light of the lanterns hanging from the bow, it paddled through the gaps of the large ships. The eleventh ship that I arrived at was a flat ship exclusively for rental warehouses. When I climbed up from the ferry terminal, I saw uniformed armed men who seemed to be guards who were not on the other boats.
Its late at night. This is a ship that only users of the rental warehouse can board. If you have a key, show it to me, and if you want to rent a warehouse, the reception is over there.
After presenting the magic stone consumption type magic lock crest received from the old sailor Garda, the security guard checked the number engraved on the side and wrote something on a stack of paper that looks like a ledger.
Is he checking the people who boarded the ship?
Warehouse 36, rented by Daikokuya Schwartz, yes?
Yes, thats right
You are without any companion. You can go, number 36 is a little further to the right.
Thanks
While walking in the direction of Warehouse 36, I turned my gaze slightly back and stared at the ledger held by the security guard.
He referred to me as Daikokuya Schwartzdoes the fact that she rented a warehouse under that name mean that Sierra has done so much research in the last two days? I wonder if she was able to dig to the point where she found out about Spark, and how it is a combat unit under the direct control of the chancellor of Kurtmerga Kingdom?
Rows of rental warehousesthat said, the basic structure seems to be an earthen storehouse with hardened walls painted with what looks like plaster. I lightly knocked on the wall while walking to check the feel.
Its like a storehouseIs this thick mud wall for fire prevention and anti-theft measures?
The 36th warehouse that Sierra rented came into view. Its exactly the same as the many warehouses that stand side by side, but the thirty-six numbers printed on the door indicate that its the one rented for me.
I unlocked the magic lock by aligning it with the magic lock on the door, then went inside and immediately closed it.
There was no light inside the warehouse, and the inside can only be seen through the starlight that shines through the small window at the top of the wall. Originally, the renter was supposed to illuminate the interior with a light ball or magic light so that there would be no fear of fire, but I cant use that.
However, a faint starlight is enough for meI changed to night vision mode and checked the interior. There were several wooden boxes lined up.
Inside the wooden box were the non-attribute magic stones I ordered from Sierra, a nautical chart around Big Ship, and a bundle of paper with information on the location of the labyrinth island that will be used as my hunting ground, as well as information on monsters and demi-humans.
As for the information I wanted most, it was tightly sealed in a leather bag that looked like a document case. As per my orderthe location and information about the monsters are listed. And there was also a note written in handwriting that was clearly not the information about the runaway labyrinth island.
After confirming the information, be sure to burn the leather bag and throw it into the sea
Does it mean to leave no evidence behind? I saved each piece of paper that had the location of the island written on it as screenshots, and recorded all the hunting grounds and nautical charts. I dont have time to check it while hunting, so itll be easier to see it on the window monitor. When I finished saving all the materials, I took out the lighter I had brought from the shopping center from my inventory and lit it.
The leather bag and a paper bundle of materials were burning vigorously in the rental warehouse it seems that the leather bag had been soaked in oil.
Because the floor and walls are made of earthenware, the fire does not spread inside the warehouse. If that happens, it will just extinguish the fire, but right now Im watching the burning flames while superimposing the monitor windows floating in my field of view, comparing the position of the labyrinth island with the map, and confirming the route and distance.
Its closer than I thought if its on a U-boat, it should take three daysno, two days.
Although it was a labyrinth island that went out of control, its been a long time since it was out of control. The overflow of monsters and demi-humans from the labyrinth has stopped, but what will happen after that is unpredictable.
Among the materials, there was also a report that sent an investigation team, but it seems that the rampaging magic beasts have resorted to cannibalism, causing the entire island to be in a volatile state. It doesnt say what happened as a result, but theres no doubt that the monsters that lost the competition were absorbed by the winning side along with their magic stones.
The monsters that are active inside the labyrinth act as subordinates of the master of the labyrinth, so there is no chance of out of control cannibalism.
Even after the rampaging stampede, the monsters are still targeting all living creatures in the natural world. As the vanguard of the mad goddess and the master of the labyrinth, to spread hostility and evil to the world.
However, if the rampaging stampede state takes a break, the monsters sanity willno, sanitygain a wildness that can be called their own ego. Thats when cannibalism started. And the victor will evolve its existence. On the abandoned labyrinth island, the monsters that survived the insect poison are now in a fierce competition for survival.
Originally, control of rampage meant that adventurers would thin out monsters so that their evolution would not progress to the point where they could not be subjugated. In other words, on the island we are heading to, there are monsters that have evolved beyond the control of adventurers.
I collected all the ordered items, and set up a transfer magic circle and a copy magic circle in the empty warehouse. I can connect this to the labyrinth island and use it as a resting spot or an emergency evacuation route. Using Blue Island Inn as a base might be very risky. Thats why I requested Sierra to rent a secure warehouse in the first place.
As requested, this eleventh ship was checked by a security guard, and even now, two security guards are patrolling outside.
Its ready now.
After confirming that the magic circle is working without any problems, I decided to go back to the inn for the last sleep in preparation for the labyrinth island hunting that would start at dawn.
My tireless body doesnt even need sleep. Rest is just for maintaining mental focus.
From tomorrow, I will sleeplessly hunt monsters on the labyrinth island to recover the large amount of CP I have lost all at once. The target amount has already been decidedno, the best result would be to return it to the target amount plus the amount of CP that can be used with peace of mind.
When I got out of the rental warehouse, sea fog was forming around me. It was so white that it was impossible to see even a few meters ahead, and the blue darkness was spreading.
If I dont walk while looking at the map, I wouldnt even be able to proceed properly. While watching my step, I walked to the ferry dockI noticed three bright dots coming out of the rental warehouse in front of me while paying attention to the surroundings. And then, a big beat like a heartbeat can be heard from the rental warehouse.
However, I could tell from the sound that the three were securely locking the rental warehouse.
Do you really think you can do it?
No guarantee
But if you dont
I know.
The three of them didnt seem to notice that I was walking beside them in this sea fog. The voice was picked up by the sound collection sensor, but I dont know what it is because I didnt listen to it. No, I dont need to judge.
The three of them seemed to have noticed me. The conversation stopped and I could feel their eyes turn towards me. Naturally, my line of sight also turned in their direction, but I couldnt see them well due to the sea fog. The only thing I knew was that all three of them were wearing deep hoods.
While sandwiching the sea fog between them, our gazes slightly overlapped, before they quickly turned and moved away.
