277 Episode 193: Landing And The Unknown Threat
Early in the morning, we gathered at the Earths and Isle cabins.
"Well, I'll say goodbye just in case."
That's what Earths said and gave another explanation of the Liquid Island landing plan.
First of all, what we're aiming for is the rear of the flowing island, the direction of the tail of the island whale.
The head side of an island whale is usually like a cliff, not very much but not usable for landing.
By contrast, the tail is shallow, with many waves, but it is also possible to board by boat.
For the record, the cliff on the head side is to prevent sea water from flowing over the island.
Also, do drifters sometimes ride up on storm days, etc., because they try to swim slower than usual and keep their heads down?
Island whale ecology has many mysteries.
Landing operations are simple.
The only magic tool (magic item) that attaches to the ship is the magic tool (magic item) to proceed as it slips through the surface of the water. For lighter weight, no rotating power is put on it.
On a normal ship, you get caught in the waves and sink, so build momentum with it and fly on as you slide down the water.
The rationale is that even if the waves are large, if you proceed on a lighter boat, you will have no problem.
Apparently the two of them took a long time and after various verifications, they broke it because it didn't seem interesting to hear more about it.
"You can leave it to me, can't you?
"Oh, I practiced."
It is a practice of producing strong winds to the critical as far as not breaking the sail.
"Jen's magic is amazing. I immediately got the hang of it, and the output is impeccable."
"If Isle says so, you look fine. Honestly, there was some anxiety when it was just Isle's" Wind Magic. "
"Yeah, I just quoted a lot and said 30%. Thanks to Jen, the chances of success are considerably higher. Thank you so much."
Says he had the highest chance of about 30%.
Looks like it was a fairly critical plan, including financial difficulties.
"Never mind. This is what we're here for."
"Oh, that drift-island sightseeing thing, that's an insane purpose..."
Ground says rude things. I don't deny it.
"I'll keep going. The path of the flowing island is basically the same every year. When there's a storm, they move fast trying to get the lag back. Not now, so don't worry about a sudden change of direction or acceleration.... Well, I didn't ask Riverrun Island, so I can't say for sure."
Due to its positional relationship with island whales, it takes the form of overtaking island whales once, U-turning and riding in from behind.
The truth is that the distance will be closer around noon and we won't need to make any wasted moves, but by that time, the tourists will have decided on the operation in the early morning, knowing the waste.
'You can see island whales nearest you = easiest to get on board', so there's nothing you can do.
"If nothing happens, we should be able to land on a stream island now..."
Come here. Ground's face clouds.
"Are you worried about something?
I've heard this before, but it doesn't seem like a particularly problematic plan.
Of course, anomalies (irregular) are good......
"... there is"
"Actually, I didn't tell Jen, but I really have concerns that I can't verify"
Isle takes over Earth's affirmation.
"To be honest, with all this planning, there's nothing even adventurers can't do. There are also users of, and the type of ship that glides on the water is not uncommon."
"I made an effort to increase my chances of success, but it's basically a crystal of common technology"
If you ask me, the landing operation was so simple that even adventurers could reproduce it.
It won't be easy to control, but it's not impossible.
"But as far as we know, there are no adventurers who have arrived to go to the flowing islands. The letter that arrived from Flow Island did not mention anything to that effect."
"We think that besides the waves, there is something (...) on Flow Island that refuses to land"
"This will be a complete bet because there is no way to verify it"
"Yes, yes, the question!
So Mio raised his hand and asked the question.
"Why did you talk about it now? You didn't tell me yesterday, did you?
……
Ground and Isle look like bad bats.
"... bad. I'm afraid you won't be able to stop me from helping you. I didn't dare."
"I'm really sorry I did something to fool you."
Two people bow their heads looking sorry.
As I mentioned earlier, the plan for the two was critical to a variety of things.
The two of them would have left, even if the success rate was low. But if the success rate increases, I've never gone beyond it.
You mean you couldn't talk about the fact that I was going to stop the aid until the ship was finished?
"30% chance of success is a value that doesn't take into account something unknown. Honestly, I think it's a bad bet for minutes. So let me ask you again. Do you want to take our boat?
"I'm sorry, but if you don't ride, you can't give me back my money. We spent all our money on this operation."
Honestly, I didn't expect you to ask me that now.
I wouldn't say I'd accompany you from the beginning if the danger was enough to stop you to the extent that it had increased or decreased somewhat.
"The answer won't change, so you don't even have to return the funds.... an unknown threat. It's getting interesting."
The laughter spills without hiding out the excitement.
No maps, seriously fun.
"It helps as far as we're concerned, but you're a really different person..."
"Right. I've never seen such a weird guy before."
So, Earth, who was smiling bitterly, looks anxiously at Maria and Mio.
"What are you going to do with those ladies?" The premise has changed, but you're taking him?
"I will go wherever Jen is."
"Such an interesting place, even if they say no, I've decided to follow you!
Two people to answer Earth's question instantly.
"Sounds serious. I don't feel comfortable..."
"I'll just take that feeling."
"We're fine."
"Well, you don't have a problem. Probably more viable than you guys, huh?
If you want to survive, you have as many hands as you want.
It is an incomparable ability to survive with Earths, Isle, who cannot benefit from alien powers.
"Okay. I'm not telling you anymore."
Did Earths also give up, never go on that topic any further, and went back to talking about the plan again.
After finishing our little talk, we started getting ready to leave on the coast.
The two have almost finished within yesterday, so it didn't take much longer.
"Okay! Now we're ready."
"We have a quick sight to see, so let's leave early"
"Right. Let's go before it's too much trouble."
As Isle put it, there are already a few spectators on the stream island, coming to pick up the place.
If I were a regular tourist, I would have been on the side of the sights, too.
But I'm an aggressive tourist, so I chose to get on a drifting island.
"Jen, I know it's okay a lot, but please be careful..."
"Oh, I'll try"
I can also say that I am out of touch with 'beware' at the time when I am banning maps.
Conversely, because of the maps, the ability to 'watch out' may also be diminished.
Without a map, sharpen your senses and get your mind back.
This is the hidden purpose of this map ban tying.
"Maria, I've entrusted your husband to you."
"Yes, I'll take care of it"
Don't say goodbye!
"Mio will be in charge of the souvenirs for Dora. I hope there's something good..."
It's a life-threatening landing operation for Earth and Isle, but this one has a loose vibe.
"Well, let's go"
"Jen, please."
"Leave it to me."
When we finished saying hello, we boarded the ship and sailed with my Wind Magic as propulsion.
The ship is gradually accelerated by wind magic.
With some acceleration, try to keep the speed constant.
"You're doing well."
"Yeah, I'm still right to leave it to Jen"
Even if you're complimented, it's the only way out, right?
"Oh, I see a drifting island!
"Lady, you have good eyes. You realize that before I do."
"Eh!
Mio tenses his chest without confidence.
The basic status is different.
Naturally, me and Maria are aware of that. Maria is mapped...
The flowing island, Mr. Island Whale, traveled faster than he thought.
I know it's fast, but it's hard to measure a bad speed because it's at sea.
A: It is around 50 km/h.
Thanks.
If an island with a diameter of 5 km was moving at that speed, it wouldn't be strange if there were big waves.
However, the only high wave is around the island whale, which has almost no effect when it leaves somewhat.
As I asked Wind Dragon (Pez) before, disasters outside of Disaster Dragon seem difficult in this world.
From the front you can only see the cliffs that jumped out at sea.
"Jen, just in case, please take a little more distance"
Copy that.
Our ships are different from island whales, keeping the waves completely unaffected.
The majority of the side of the island whale is also like a cliff, which gets lower as you go towards the tail.
Behind the cliff are trees that grow and cannot be seen to the back.
... How can there be a tree growing on a whale?
A: Nutritious moss-like objects grow on the back of island whales. Over the years, hardened moss has become land and virtually an island.
What a disastrous ecology.
Well, I'm saying island whales, but they're not islands, they're not whales, they're whale-shaped demons.
Is it wrong to think like a normal whale in itself?
"Jen, we've crossed the flow island, so please swirl to your left and approach from behind. Maximum acceleration just before the waves get higher. Follow Mr. Earth's instructions there."
"Okay. I'll take care of the timing."
"Leave it to me! More than that, do you have enough magic left?
"Oh, it's okay because we're not even down 1%"
It is more correct to say that it does not fall within the reduced, as there is more natural recovery than consumption.
…………
Oh? Two people are out of line for some reason.
Well, okay.
I swirl to take the back of the island whale, as Isle instructs.
As I was asking, it's not just the cliffs at the tail, it's the coast, so I think I can land.
Of course, we need to cross the rough wave before we do.
And that would be where the unknown threat looms.
Yes. This is the status of Mr. Unknown Threat.
Basilisk
LV50
< Evil Eye of Petrification LV5 >
Title: - Obedience of
Notes: Large lizards that petrify what you see.
... when I perceived the signs and stared, I found myself hiding in the woods.
I can't help but see the status because it's more like a habit than I've found it.
Evil Eye of Petrification
Grant a state anomaly of petrification to the viewed subject (alone). Success rates vary depending on skill level, distance, and resistance.
Now I know why I can't reach the island whale.
Perhaps the basilisk is petrifying those approaching the island. If you petrify on a boat that rocks with waves, it's not helpful to think normally.
Thus, the unknown threat ceased to be unknown before the turn came.
corners, I had banned maps......
By the way, what's this "- obedience"?
A: If a person without a name takes a taste, this is the kind of indication.
I don't have a name, but do you have one?
You have a pretty special birth guy.
You're hiding it, but you're not hiding it.
"Signs, or that's no longer killer. Dear Jen, would you like to eliminate it?
As the two say, 'The Unknown Threat (Laughter)' is releasing a strong killing spirit.
It's also a killer that's clearly aimed at us.
"No, let's leave it like this. At least it won't do us any good."
Do you think they normally petrify? Are you sure? "
Earth and Isle are not high enough stats to prevent petrification of the basilisk.
Petrify with certainty.
"I'm not saying it's good, but I'd like to confront Basilisk directly if I could. You're obviously a wacky demon, so you can't just get rid of it from a distance, can you?
"Totally event handling..."
Exactly.
Over the waves, over the threat of basilisk, we reach the island whale.
There is more to crushing a prior event than there is to be.
"Hey! It's time to ask for acceleration!
"Oh, hold on tight!
While we were talking, the time for acceleration seemed to have come.
When I cautioned, I raised the output of Wind Magic.
"Whoa! Wow, that's an acceleration!
"With this acceleration, we should be able to cross the waves in theory!
The ship continued to accelerate and finally reached the waves caused by the island whales.
At the next moment, turning the waves into a jumping platform, the ship jumped up big.
Immediately fall in water, make sure to slip through the surface of the water and repeat with the jump table of the waves again.
It rocks up and down like a jet coaster.
"Whoa, whoa!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!
"Ahhhhh!
Earth and Isle, Mio screams.
Only Mio is smiling and obviously enjoying himself.
"If you like the screaming system so much, why don't we have it in the horror house?
Ya! Oh! "
Mio's excitement disappeared and he was rejected in the face.
Endurance testing of the triple tube continued afterwards, with changes about half way across the waves.
"Hey! Isle! What's the matter with you!
"I know, Rima,... I can't. My body... my body... moves... yes..."
Next to the screaming earth, Isle's body began to turn to stone.
Petrification instantly spread all over the body, completing a monolithic statue solidified by the expression of fear.
"No way, this is... The corpse doesn't make sense..."
Looking at Isle, which became a stone statue, Earth also seemed to understand what had happened.
Once it has become a stone statue and the ship has been overthrown, its body will sink to the bottom of the sea.
Naturally, the body never gets anywhere.
"Apparently, that's it for me too..."
If you look, Earth's body is also beginning to petrify.
Like Isle, petrification gradually spreads.
"Maria, put it back."
"Yes."
When I speak, Maria runs to Earth, to Isle.
Only cat beasts don't get out of balance at all even on a heavily rocking boat.
Maria held two people who were likely to petrify and fall off the ship and activated the magic when she put them to sleep on the floor.
"'Area Anti-Stone'"
Range petrification is cancelled by.
This is the first time I have seen it used in action because there are few opponents who come to use petrification and I don't hema eating petrification in the first place.
In the training you do in your body (hard mode), Tamo comes using petrification, so you occasionally see a petrified combat maid. Unpetrified (anti-stone) magic is also used.
"I... the hell...?
"Oh, I... turned to stone...?
The two people whose petrification has been lifted are unconscious and have not been able to grasp the situation.
"The state abnormality of petrification has been cured. It's dangerous. Please grab the boat."
"Oh, wow."
"Yes......"
When Maria briefly told them, the two followed the instructions.
Looks like they're trying to petrify us, too.
"You're in a hurry for not working."
Basilisk tries so hard to get us to petrify it, but we don't always see how it is petrified, so it's horny.
If you keep your eyes open all the time, you'll get dry eyes, so let's be careful.
In doing so, I approached the island whale just a few moments away.
The two, Earth and Isle, hide well behind Maria's shadow to keep her from petrifying.
"It's time to get on board! Hold on to the ship!
Almost at the same time Earth screamed, the ship rode the biggest wave ever and flew big.
- Gaggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!! -
With a loud noise, the ship landed on the shore of the island whale...... or launched.
"Itete...... You guys alive?
"Yes...... I manage..."
Neither one of us seems to have noticeable injuries or anything.
"All right, looks like we're all good."
"Good day, Jen"
"Ah, it was fun!
"Why are you three so kelloggy..."
I look at us as if nothing had happened, as if Earth had spooked me.
The reason you're kellogging is mainly because of your status. Skills after that.
"Master Jen, I'm coming."
"Oh, I know"
Apparently, Basilisk has given up petrification and chosen to eliminate it directly.
Grey giant (1m high and 3m long) lizards walked in the nose.
"Is he... a basilisk who hears rumors?
"It matches the information in the record. I can't believe these demons lived on Stream Island..."
"Nobody's gonna make it. It's wacky."
Where they understood correctly about the unknown threat, Basilisk also ran out.
"GYRUUUUUUUU!!!
He moved much faster than he looked and unleashed a 'snag' attack on Maria, who was in the lead.
The next moment, the basilisk was upside down.
Do you want to kill Jen?
Maria stood on a flipped basilisk, with a sword on her seemingly soft belly.
If I told you to 'do it', you'd be mutilated in a good way.
No, I'll get the information before then, so don't move.
Yes, sir.
Telling her in a reading, Maria flashed her sword.
Strength falls out of the hands and feet of the basilisk who was slashed muscle.
When I touched Basilisk, I activated Biocide (Give-and-Take) LV9 and Multiple Presence (Avatar) LV7.
Touch your soul directly and browse all the information you have on basilisk.
Hmm, I see. Oh, that's what I'm saying...!
"Enough is enough, do it"
If you're someone else's obedient, clear enemy, there's no reason to keep you alive.
"Yes."
As Maria flashed her sword again, her powers fell out of the entire body of the basilisk.
Because I'm nearby, I seem to have avoided killing like blood popping up.
"Wow...... Kill the basilisk instantly."
"I'm really glad Jen and the others accompanied me..."
"Absolutely."
Perhaps if the two of us had come alone, there would have been nothing we could do at the point of petrification.
According to the peeping memory, the purpose of the basilisk is' not to allow landings on this island ', so it is very unlikely that the two could have reached the flowing island.
For the record, drifters due to storms and the like seem to ignore them because they do not meet the conditions.
There is also the problem that the storm day blocks vision and does not activate petrification successfully.
Actually, he said that if he explores landing on a rainy day, the odds would increase a little, but no one has noticed until now because he usually avoids it.
"Well, let's start exploring the island"
"Whoa, treasure! Whoa, treasure!"
I arrived in Treasure Island (tentatively) and Mio and I are getting tense.
Maria just goes with it.
"Wait! My family's first!
"Yes! Let me see you as soon as possible!
With that said, the purpose of the two was to reunite with their families. Honestly, I forgot.
"A joke, a joke. Of course, treasure hunting is after people."
…………
Mio laughed and told him it was a joke, but I pierced the no-comment.
"Yeah? Your husband, are you kidding me...?
…………
Mio asked me a question when I realized something, and I turned away gently.
Yes. It was in full exploration mode.
Then we started walking to the center of the island to find Earth and Isle's family.
In a letter that flowed in the past, he said the drifters were living in the heart of the island.
Unfortunately, it didn't say anything about the specific location, but it's a decision that if we move towards the center, we'll have some clue.
"Really, I don't know what to do..."
"Yeah, I can't get my head up......"
Ground and Isle say sorry.
The reason is simple: they were not equipped to advance through the woods, so we lent them to them.
The two people who were devoting all their efforts to landing were not thinking about what happened after they landed.
I know you were willing to live permanently, but aren't you a little unplanned?
"No, there was an item box at first, but I sold it out of gold..."
"I wish I had bought it when I received financial assistance..."
"These two have changed a lot since their first impressions...... Dojiko?"
There is no demand for a man's dodgy child (truth).
We are all equipped with Advanced Chamber of Commerce and Forest Exploration Sets.
It was in the infinite storage (inventory) for some reason.
A little further down the woods, the passage of pre-information began to emerge. Maria killed him instantly.
They were all weak demons, so I don't think they could have defeated Earth, who was working out his body, and Eyre, who could use magic for once. I also think it would have been tough if I had been swarmed.
"This is a trail of hunting."
Further, traces of people's hands began to be found in the woods.
From this time on, Ground and Isle had a smaller mouth count and their eyes increased in seriousness.
"Why is no one here...?
Ground groaned bossly at the point where he would say it was just a little more central to the island.
So far, there are traces of people there, but there's no sign of people at all.
Traces are growing, but there's nothing brand new.
The obvious unnatural comes to my attention.
"Hey! There was a settlement!
"Let's hurry!
There is an open space in the woods, where two people who discover a settlement of people rush out.
"Really, it's good to have you with us."
"Right."
You don't see it for the two of us, but you do see it for us with high status.
What happened in the settlement ahead?
When we went after them, as expected, the two of them collapsed in the settlement and were flabbergasted.
The only thing in the settlement was a stone statue that had been destroyed without remnants.
Most of them are shattered and do not retain their original shape, but I can only tell that they were human.
I can also tell that there are more than 10 bodies, rather than two.
If you don't know anything, just call it a creepy stone statue.
But both Earth and Isle understood what had happened just by saying that it was a stone statue on this island.
This settlement was destroyed by the Basilisk.
