Chapter 134
# 134
134. Open Sea (3)
Finally, when I got on the deck, Priasis retrieved the rope that had been hung over the railing.
He keeps his mouth firmly shut.
His eyes were a mixture of surprise and bewilderment.
Her silver hair was slightly longer and she was wearing a plain dress.
I looked around the boat.
It is a sailboat worthy of being called a large one, but few people are seen.
A man at the stern of the ship fiddling with the sails.
“How many times have you surprised me.”
Priasis said in a weak voice.
Jenna laughed awkwardly.
“Oh, how are you?”
“What? Why does this woman talk… Eup!”
“We’ll go in and rest.”
Nerissa dragged Katio inside the ship.
“What kind of uninvited guests do you need to leave?”
“Wouldn’t it be burdensome for the princess too if we all went around all at once?”
The two of them even went inside the ship.
Me and Priasis were left on the deck.
After silence ensued, I spoke up.
“Can I come in? I want to sleep.”
Freeasis inflated his cheeks.
“I can do it! I have to ask you, Mt. Tai. How did you get on the small boat on the sea like that, how did you find the ship’s location, what was the goal this time…!”
“It’s a mission.”
Priasis looked at me with eyes demanding an explanation, but I didn’t know.
Do you know Nanda? This happened because I was on a mission. When I shut my mouth, Priasis sighed deeply.
“I thought I wouldn’t get involved with you guys this time…”
“When we first met, he gave me money and asked me to help him. Why are the front and back different?”
“At the time… I didn’t know it would be this tough. How many of your comrades died?”
“I would have told you to leave me alone.”
“…it’s easier said than done.”
Priasis bowed her head.
‘indeed.’
It sounds like you’re putting pressure on us.
I told him not to worry because he wasn’t doing it for you, but it wouldn’t be easy with this guy’s personality.
“So, where are you?”
“You mean you didn’t know that?”
Priasis looked at me as if he was dumbfounded.
Again, there was nothing to answer.
“This is the southeastern sea of the continent, called the Infinite Sea…”
“Okay. Tell me what you’re looking for. Is this the key again?”
After a moment of hesitation, the answer came.
“…Yes.”
“The first is the desert, the second is the sea. It kills the environment once.”
Priasis explained what happened after the 30th floor.
After defeating the stone statue, return with the key and have it recognized as authentic by the Assinis family. It is said that thanks to this, they were able to receive support for subsequent search activities.
“This boat was lent by the family. The same goes for the crew.”
The man hanging the sails glanced this way and continued his work.
“I received a subsidy. I’m going to hire a mercenary from a nearby island. At this point, I should be able to find the key without borrowing your help.”
“Even if that monster comes out again?”
Priasis cleared his throat.
“Uh, anyway, return the ship to the port…”
“No more mercenaries. Don’t call anyone. If you don’t want to increase the number of corpses.”
“Then…”
“All you have to do is guide them. We’ll take care of the rest.”
The situation is the same as on the 30th floor.
The only difference is that the members have changed.
“Are you still stubborn?”
Priasis laughed bitterly.
“I’m sorry, but we can’t deny the mission. No matter what it says.”
“If the mission to kill me came out, what would you do?”
“I’ll do that too. If I don’t want to die.”
The aftertaste will be bitter, but I have already made up my mind.
There was no guarantee that the mission would only include helping others or defeating monsters.
“I get it.”
Priasis rummaged through his arms and put down a small leather pouch.
Gold coins flashed through the cracks.
“It’s all I own. I’ll hire you guys as mercenaries. I’m not a shameless woman either.”
“I don’t need it.”
“Don’t embarrass me.”
Then don’t refuse.
I accepted the gold coin.
[Negotiation successful!]
[‘Han (★★★)’ acquired 10,000 gold from the special NPC ‘Priasis’.]
‘Is it 10,000 gold?’
It’s not that big of a buck in Pick Me Up.
You can only buy 2 warhorse statues.
I decided to accept it anyway.
“… Please take good care of me this time too.”
Freeasis held out his hand with a slightly awkward gesture.
My hands swayed up and down as I grabbed them.
“When you call me…”
“Kid?”
“Call me Pria. I’ll call you by your first name too.”
“Pria.”
“It’s a nickname. I like this one better, Han.”
Freea laughed lightly.
‘Hmm.’
It doesn’t matter.
Afterwards, Freea told a little more about what happened at sea.
Originally, we tried to replenish the crew by stopping at the pirate island, which is said to be full of mercenaries, but since we joined, there is no need to do so. He said he would immediately depart for the place where the key was.
“And one, I have something to tell you about the key.”
“say.”
“If you collect all the keys… they say you can open the door to a higher dimension.”
I was frozen at the sudden words.
As if my reaction was unexpected, Fria blinked several times.
“What are you going to do with such a thing?”
“Isn’t it obvious. The continent…”
“What does the continent have to do with the upper dimension?”
“…that.”
Even Freea doesn’t seem to know exactly.
It’s frustrating. I frowned. I didn’t want to think about it if I had to, even if I didn’t like it, but there are too many things about the mission that I can’t understand.
“A dream…”
“Anything is a dream. Isn’t it too versatile?”
In a dream, Fria saw us fighting.
And seeing the future of destruction, he decided to save the continent.
The key is what you need there. The key is said to be a tool to open the door to a higher dimension.
After all, almost every mission is connected to this guy.
On the 15th, 25th, and 30th floors, we met directly, and the 20th floor is a mission to subdue the leader of the faction that was deeply involved in the pursuit of Freea.
‘Where in the world is there something about saving the continent?’
The 5th and 10th floors, which prevented the goblin attack, were at least similar.
It’s just me and Freea on the deck where the wind blows.
The man hanging the sail is gone.
“Are you… angry?”
“No, think a little.”
I closed my mouth.
Something seems to be caught, but it is not caught.
‘I need more information.’
I said while looking at Freea who was standing there.
“That dream, in more detail….”
[Clear the stage!]
[Level up ‘Velquist (★★★)’ and ‘Katio (★★★★)’!]
[Reward – 170000G Shark Gill (Low Grade) X 3]
[MVP – ‘Katio (★★★★)’]
The light began to surround the body.
‘Timing is true.’
I laughed bitterly.
There was a strange look in Freea’s eyes as she was looking at me.
“That light…”
“It’s going back to its original place. Don’t worry, the contract doesn’t end.”
“Didn’t you try to ask something?”
“Okay. I’ve changed my mind.”
I have no motivation to save this place anyway.
If there is nothing else to do, it will be fine to proceed as is.
“See you next.”
“Ah, got it.”
After Freea’s bewildered answer, I returned to the circular room.
I looked up first.
Master disconnected.
It was a mission that required quite a lot of time, so I couldn’t keep watching it.
The current time in the waiting room was late at night.
‘still.’
A log of Katio’s actions will remain.
You can rewind the mission video.
“Do you like it.”
Belquist was looking at Katio with his mouth twisting up.
“What, what? Horrible.”
“Is this kid joining the training tomorrow too? I think I need a different formation.”
Belquist’s gaze turned to me.
I nodded.
“You come to the parlor by 7:00 tomorrow morning.”
“I have to do airship maintenance in the morning…”
“You can do it at night.”
Belquist said as if nothing had happened.
“Then it’s overtime! It’s different from a contract!”
“The original contract is different before and after it is signed.”
“Don’t make people trash.”
I sighed.
“The schedule is messed up.”
An unconfirmed message appeared on Amkena’s control panel.
[Aircraft can be used from the 33rd floor of the Master!]
[Tap the Summon tab after taking the hero of the ‘Magician’ class and touch Airship!]
[However, the Airship must be summonable.]
‘It’s an airship.’
A ship appeared later in the mission.
This meant that ships could be replaced with airships.
Although flying is impossible due to the nature of the field.
The maintenance of the airship is not over.
However, since joining the 1st party, formation practice is essential.
Unless both can be ruled out.
“Hmmmm.”
I cleared my throat and continued.
“You’ll have to work hard.”
“No, damn it.”
“I’d like to accommodate you if possible, but due to my schedule, I can’t help it.”
“I knew it.”
Katio’s shoulders drooped.
“I’ll give you double the vacation when the schedule is over. I promise.”
“Okay, okay. Tomorrow at 7:00. You can come out.”
Katio walked out of the space-time gap with a tired expression.
The other members also left the room one after another. After staring at the message on the mirror that read ‘Save the world!’ for a long time, I fell into the plaza.
And I met an unexpected person.
“How was that wizard?”
Instead of her usual dress, Iolka stood there wearing a scarf and coat given to her by the Master.
“I heard from Mr. Bell that he was very active.”
“Why are you here? You’re not on the third floor.”
“I stopped by because I thought about it while taking a walk.”
“Do you want to go for a walk on the first floor?”
“I-I mean it! Anyways. Me too while you go on a mission…”
Iolka spread her palms.
A breeze moved over it.
“Somehow it’s done. In a month like this…”
“Isel.”
[Appeared!]
Stardust shimmered next to Issel.
I said to Isel, who stared blankly at me.
“How many reclaimed stones do you have left?”
[Well, there should be about 7 now.]
“Give this guy one. The log says I took it out.”
After a while, Issel brought a stone with a black glow from the warehouse.
“What is this?”
“Recycled stone. It’s a stone that allows you to see the video of the mission.”
I put the stone in Iolka’s hand. As soon as I
noticed Isel, a rift in time and space opened.
“You’ll know about him
when you see him .” It means showing the video.”
“Yes.”
“Okay. Let’s go somewhere.”
Iolka took a deep breath and entered the space-time gap.
The door closed.
[‘Iolka (★★★)’ starts reading!]
The 32nd floor is long, but high-speed playback is also possible if the viewer wishes. I
‘ll be able to get an estimate in a few hours. I put my butt on a nearby bench.
Isel flapped her wings and said,
“Aren’t you going to sleep? It’s late.]
“I’m going to rest for a while.”
[Worry about the flame mage. Are you doing it? It’s not good! It’s powerful, but there’s no use for it other than that. I think
the magician kid is much better?]
I didn’t reply
. “I laughed with a sinister expression and disappeared with the light.
I sat on a bench and crossed my arms.
Heroes from the 1st floor sometimes appeared and passed me by looking at me with blank eyes.
And when dawn deepened .
Suddenly, the door in front of the plaza opened.
” Did you have a good look?”
“Didn’t you go?”
” I can’t sleep.”
“Why
did you wait?” A
visibly haggard Iolka sat next to me
.
I do. at a young age. I was at a loss because I wasn’t even an initiate at the time.”
“Wizards judge by their appearance, don’t they?”
“You’re young just by looking at them. ”
Iolka sighed deeply
. .”
“Another party if you want…”
“If it’s not here, I
don’t want it,”
Iolka said .
” I haven’t
given up.” I’m also a preliminary 1st party mate, so there will be opportunities. See you later.”
Iolka finished her speech on her own, laughed and stood up.
She climbed the stairs and disappeared.
‘This is true.’
Aaron did the same. Why are you so tied up?
If you take this opportunity to become a researcher, you’ll be able to live comfortably. The Master might not like it, but I was willing to help at that point. I’ve prepared a few reasons. I think you might know
. It’s the same.
I shook my head and headed for the stairs.
