Isekai Taneuma

Mermaid invasion

In the head of the leveled priest, the fanfare rings... but whatever Trivia turns out to be, it's Mary's level first.

With Feng's shared experience, Mary is probably on the rise with fierce momentum. With Jeanne at level 99 at 102, how far would Mary at level 1 go? It is said to inflate the chest of expectations.

However, the noise subsided and I watched Mary calm down and asked, but it was another unexpected result.

"Level...? Oh, that's right. You were talking about the level."

"Yeah, well, what's your level?

"What are you suddenly...."

Mary didn't seem to realize the level was going up because she didn't explain it in advance. As she checks her status, her face turns into a stunned expression.

"Wow! Wow! I don't know, but you're up!? Why? Strange!

"So, how old are you?"

"Hmm? Yeah, it's 15! Is this really raising my level?

"15...?

Is that what this is about? I thought it might have been more than 30, but Feng was disappointed just because the expectations were too high. Why is it so low? Perhaps the priests are less likely to rise in level than humans....

Regardless, it's ridiculous to corrupt Mary who is happy that her level is up, so Feng switched her head and now asked about her status change.

Since she is a priest, her basic status such as STR does not seem to change even if her level rises, but her HP and MP seem to be up slightly. At first it was 750/300, but now it seems there is 1450/330. MP growth is extremely poor compared to HP gaining nearly twice as much, which means MP is more valuable in status. Well, as far as priests are concerned, the amount of MP is directly related to the number of times magic can be used, so it may be natural to say so.

And one more thing.

"Wow! Mage Lv is now 3! Now I'm one of the middle-ranking wizards."

In addition to the occupations that people in this world are born into, there are occupational levels. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To recap, the Wizard of the Divine increases his level of profession....

Level 1 Energy Force

Level 2 Enchanted Weapon Dispel Magic

Level 3 Sleep Cloud Stan Cloud

Level 4 Fireball Blizzard

Level 5 Lightning Bolt Protection

Level 6 Revision (Town Portal)

Level 7 Disintegration (Samon Servant)

Level 8 (Meteor Strike/Reservation)

... and there were more spells to use. Mary is Level 3, so she can use SleepCloud Stancloud.

By the way, the middle wizard is literally in the middle of Level 3. It seems that the world's priests can only use the lightning bolts of level 5 at the highest level. Of course, I refuse to play games in this world compared to games in that world... but it will be more complicated, so I might as well not think about it separately anymore. This world looks just like the game anyway.

Now, Mary went from level 15 to level 3 in her profession, but as I've heard many times before, people in this world will be stopped at about level 30. Then, the level of the advanced wizard she says is also considered to be close to 30. In that case, if you pour in some more shared experience points, and if you can remember the attack magic, it might not be bad to try it.

I almost forgot, but Feng and the others are trying to escape her to the New World. She is being pursued by a hunter from the Empire, and she does not know when she will be captured. At that time, it would be easier for her to defend herself if she had a chance to fight.

Tsukumo, Jeanne! I'd like to use the spell I remembered so quickly... can you turn it into an experimental bench?

"No, the spell you remembered wouldn't be stylish if you used it on people. It weighs on the boulder. Don't use it in the village.

"Phew...."

Mary looks dissatisfied with her sharp mouth. Jeanne looked at her like that.

Well then, Mary. Why don't you come hunt with me? I have a promise with the chief, but if you're dealing with a monster, you can use it as much as you want. "

"Really? I wonder if I can get my feet together...."

Mary seemed satisfied to follow her as she moped. Feng broke into those two,

"Then I'll follow you. Would you be willing to accept a request from the Alliance?

"Request...?

"Oh, the shared experience that raised Mary's level this time came after the duel. At that time, I received a request (Quest) from an Alliance. If you received a quest and completed it to gain experience, I'd like to try it again."

"Didn't you come in because you won the duel?

"Maybe. But isn't it worth a try?

"Well... then I'll ask the chief."

Jeanne invited Gargantuar to the chief's house.

When I told you about the situation, Gargantuar agreed without complaining. Originally, Jeanne invited me to improve the relationship, so I felt like I should decide where I wanted to go.

That's why they were headed for the guild with the four of them, and people jumped out of houses everywhere and greeted them politely and stupidly. If you think about it, Gargantuar is the chief, Jeanne is as strong as the chief, and Mary is the saint they worship with God. Even Feng, stocks have risen since the incident, and it may not be an exaggeration to say that it is the hottest four people in the world right now. I used to handle luggage only a short while ago, but I don't think it depends on people's reputation, so it is always cash.

With that in mind, he left the village and came through the forest road to the Adventurers Guild residence. It would be nice to see a house with a decent roof, perhaps because I have been living in the village for a long time.

There was space in front of the guild to dry things, and Lucy was drying her laundry. When they found Feng coming, they rushed over with a loving smile and wiped their wet hands with an apron front.

"Wow, it's been a long time, Feng. It's a big day. What's wrong with everyone?

"I was thinking of taking a quest in an Alliance. You haven't asked for anything good?

"I don't know. I'll call Mr. Mee. Go inside and wait."

Lucy said that and invited four people into the front door, and as soon as the meatier entered, she lay on the sofa in the reception room and patted her legs. I wonder if my client would have to come to such a place anyway. It is a good position to skip work.

Totally alarmed, she realized it was Feng who came, and rushed to fix the hem of the skirt that was about to roll over.

"What is it, suddenly? I told you to knock when you get in."

"Fuck you!

Or is it a line to say to a guest who came in through the front door after being guided? Feng told him that he had come to accept the request with astonishment.

"Is this a request? Well, I have a request in the woods... Mr. Feng, did you get into another fight?

"I didn't, I'm not from Edo. As a matter of fact, Mary learned her magic by climbing the level, so I wanted to try it."

"Magic is an ancient spell, right? Isn't it instant combat power? Then I'll have as many crusades as I can get. Just a moment, please. I'll look for something that looks good."

That's what Meetya said, and she went all the way back to get her client's file. I thought it might take some time, and when she tried to sit on the couch where she was lying, the door that Meatier had just left opened and the Guild Leader peered into her face.

"Feng, are you here? Perfect."

"What is it?

"I was just discussing Oannes trends with Tycoon and Guillaume. I want the opinion of a third party, so why don't you come?

"If I may... Mr. Gargantuar, I'm sorry. If this is going to take some time, please go with Jeanne."

Feng said so, and the Guild Leader rushed,

"No, wait. I want Jeanne and Gargantuar to come. I'd like to share it with tribal leaders and adventurers who live in the forest, if possible."

I feel like it's important from the way I talk. Feng and the others looked at each other and followed the leader of the guild.

Through the door leading to the back, it passed through a short hallway and connected to a room about ten tatami mats in size. I wonder if it is usually used for living and dining, but there is a large dining table somewhat on the right hand side of the center, around which Guillaume and Leonardo stood.

On the table was a large map of paper, and it looked like a big forest. Nevertheless, since it is a large forest with no roads like roads, it is doubtful whether it should be called a map because it contains only narrow and vague beast roads, the location of the beast people's settlements, and objects that are likely to become landmarks such as mountains and rivers.

If the Guild Chiefs were to wonder what they were glowing about surrounding these things, they would see a bump mark on every part of the map. If you think about what you were called here for, there's only one thing you can think about.

"Is this where all the oanness was seen?

That's right.

Leonardo replied as he greeted the Feng who had entered the room.

The old man and Guillaume, from the day after they arrived at the Guild Garrison, seemed to have been exploring the Fisherman's trends while Feng was playing with his children in the Gargantuar settlement and fighting the bees.

Nevertheless, since Wallachia's large forest is large, it is not possible to go out directly, so it feels like I was gathering information by relying on a messenger. It's not like there's no human connection more than there are beasts living in these big forests. There is an exchange of information between neighboring residents. Apparently, this old man has such an information network. I wonder if it's more of an age than the back of a tortoise.

"This is a rough map of the northernmost part of the Great Forest between the Warriors and the Hermes. It's only a tenth of the size of a huge forest. This is the area on the diagonal of the land called Neuroi, where the demons live, but I still have enough sightings."

In addition to the streets, there are rivers between the Brave and Hermes. It flows from the mountainous zone in the middle of the continent, but the sightings appear to be distributed throughout the basin.

"As you can see, the continent is divided north-south by this central mountain range. From Neuroi, where the demons live, to the northwest, where they live, it is best to pass through the coastal area on the west, where the gradient is relatively gentle. However, because this side is easy to live in, there are veterinarian settlements like nets, and the sea is guarded by brave fishermen in the sea. Therefore, if so many Oannes have passed, there is no reason that no one will notice."

It's hard to think of, but that means that the fishmongers came over the mountain. Those dudes with fins on their hands and feet are breathing... they're actually breathing lungs, so it's possible to cross the road, but I still can't imagine what happens when they cross the mountain.

"Have you ever entered through the sea on the east side of the continent?

"It's unlikely, but I don't know what's clear. In fact, because of the war, information from Orpheus territory has temporarily disappeared. But if that were the case, we would have crossed the continent this time....."

"If the sightings are concentrated on the east side, it's hard to think about it."

"Assuming you're crossing the mountain, I wish you had some good ideas on how to stop it...."

So I thought I'd ask Feng and the others for their opinions. But when they said that, they didn't come up with an idea right away.

The first thing that comes to mind is hiring a climber to figure out the route the demon tribes are entering, but there is no established trail in this world. At most about 1000 meters high, you walk through unprecedented mountains where you don't know where the beast is hiding, and discover routes where you don't even know if there is one. There can't be such a convenient super climber, and it's useless to think about it.

So, even if there were an artificial satellite, it would be impossible to grasp the movement of people in such a large forest. As I have said many times, this forest is so dense that it becomes dark during the day. Seen from above, we will not be able to capture the person walking underneath.

"It's impossible to find the exact route. However, if we are certain to cross the mountain, if we keep squeezing upstream and hunting the Mermaids, the intrusion will eventually stop. It's not a water operation, it's a mountain operation. So if we gather the samples, we can narrow the path to some extent."

"It's hard. There are countless rivers, but there are limits to adventurers. It's not just when they're moving the river."

"Well, first of all, I don't think there's much we can do to find out why the Fishermen are going north. But there won't be a crazy adventurer like that... and it's going to be hard to prevent Oannes from breaking in right now."

"... what we can still do now is to keep exterminating the tunnels."

The old man dropped his shoulders and rubbed his eyes and fingers just to say that he was tired. When you are so disappointed, you feel guilty, but Feng doesn't think about all the funny things at 4: 00 or 6: 00. It is troublesome even if expected.

Still, the resurrection of the Devil King.....

Leonardo seems to be working on the worst case scenario. So far, we have not found any basis for resurrection, but if the demon tribes have moved so much, Feng is worried about the boulders.

He looked at the map spread out on the table.

By the way, this oanness is exterminated, but is it an Alliance quest?

"Hmm?... oh, that's what I'm going to do, but somehow it's in the woods, so no one gets paid for hunting, so I barely get paid. That's why I can't expect the support of the adventurers, and I'm staying to let the tribes know. I wish the Beasts were working together, offering each other money, and calling for backup from the outside, but it's hard to convince them. This could be a big deal....."

That's what the Guild Leader answered and sighed. Apparently, the Beasts of the Great Forest don't like to be roughed up by their territory, or actively crush the Fisherman or rely on the outside world. At last, I have no money. So basically, it seems like it is left alone.

Even if I thought about it, it was the discovery of abandoned settlements that got me here. Could there be more settlements like this now? If that's the case... maybe we should at least get rid of the nearby fishermen.

Feng looked at the map with that in mind.

"... that? Could this be near the village where I was commissioned the other day?

Feng pointed to the bat mark that was closest to the Gargantuar settlement.

"Ah, just in the morning, a resident of the neighboring village came to let me know what they found. Normally, I wouldn't get anywhere near here unless it was a routine matter, but I think I gained credibility last time."

"So what you've discovered is the last few days."

Perhaps the last bear was attacked by the Fisherman tribe here and ran away. While recalling the scar on the body, Feng thought about it.

In any case, if a tribe of goodwill is in trouble, it will not be ignored.

"Mr. Gargantuar, Jeanne, if you don't mind...."

"We're going to exterminate this Oannes. Of course I'm fine."

As Feng peered into Gargantuar's face, he nodded slowly,

"This is close to my village. We'll have to do it sometime."

It's settled. Feng told the Guild Leader that he would accept it as a formal Guild request.
