Lesson 591: Port Cities and Hallucinations

Complete darkness......

I don't see anything, this isn't a stun.

Though I thought so, there was nothing I could do.

I don't feel like reaching out or moving my body for some reason.

It's not like there's none at all. But I never showed up there trying to move my hand in front of me.

What the hell is going on...?

Tilting his neck but scratching the algae for a while, the darkness in front of him faded the color slightly, creating a grey, something incredible sight.

Some... ruins?

Stone building...... No, this is nothing more than the temple I'm diving in.

But it's unnatural anyway.

I'm not that good with my memory, but that's a lot different from what I saw earlier.

I can't tell you exactly where... somehow, the view I'm seeing right now is prettier... yes, what was supposed to have collapsed earlier, but it isn't.

What do you mean...?

I don't know.

I don't know... but my vision shifts regardless of my will.

The scenery, which was like thin darkness, gradually brightens up in the light......

Is it because it is close to the light, present above?

Over there, it would be on the water.

Every shake, but a different light from the sun, plunges from it.

And... my vision fell out of the water.

It sounded strange and audible as if the noise was echoing.

Then my vision slipped away as someone dragged me along.

Furthermore, when I got up completely out of the water, suddenly, some face appeared in front of me.

Pretty pretty girl.

That comes very close... hey, isn't this mouth-watering?

My face approached the distance that... but for some reason I unfortunately don't feel anything.

Nothing, nothing, nothing, didn't tell me.

On the other hand, I wondered if it would be okay for this to happen, and it would be natural somewhere.

This is probably... not my experience "..."

Because I felt that way intuitively.

In fact, when the girl's behavior was repeated several times, after a while, she heard someone exhale out of breath, and then it moved that water was spit out into her sight.

In addition, the breath turned from the next moment into a rough breath of ha-ha, ha-ha, and blurry, less colored vision gradually filled with light and color, into something clear.

'... good. You saved me.'

I heard such a voice from the girl's mouth.

'... uh, this is...'

From my mouth... No, from around there, I heard a different man than me.

'You know that, right? The Labyrinth of the Daughters of the Sea God. I was trying to dive in here, and I was suffocating in the sea by mistake of the "Air Pipe" deadline. "

That's what the girl said to blame.

Well, if that was indeed the right situation, I also know what it would make me want to blame you for. Diego also said that the "air pipe" has an appropriate expiration date and that if you don't identify it well and use it, you will suffocate to death in the sea.

It's not easy to tell from the outside how much it can be used, and you can't tell exactly where it is without a specialist curse shop like Diego seeing it.

This... somehow, I'm on the move, it seems the man probably didn't do it.

Pretty dangerous behavior.

'... is that true? I was going to do a solid appraisal...... I put a few in line, so maybe I brought a different guy......'

Different.

Worse, just a little pee......

The girl seems to have been stunned by this, too.

"You had a lot of fate... without me, you would have been the bait for the werewolf fish" Roggie "after you choked to death. The big one was getting closer... '

'Well, I picked up a lot of my life... and I'll thank you. I wish there was something you could do... no money, no stuff. What's wrong......'

"So you've come here a lot."

"That's why... here we start the shop with a thousand bucks, the money we got."

"... store? You're a merchant, not an adventurer?

"Neither. I mean, adventurers are the means. to make money...... my training as a merchant was neat. But you can't do anything without something to precede you. If you want to own a store in Lucalis, the quick thing is to collect and sell magic artifacts and spells in the labyrinth."

'If you're a merchant, let the adventurer do it, and you should focus on those who roll'

"... that's true, but few adventurers dive into the Labyrinth of the Daughters of the Sea God." Mostly, there's already a familiar curse shop, and even if I ask, it's not coming around that's good inside. Then it would be quicker to do it yourself... '

'That's really reckless... well, fine. If that's the case... you help me.'

'... ah?

You've never dived here before, have you?

'Well, yes...'

'But I know this place very well. I can give you some guidance'

"Seniors..."

'I wonder if that's what's gonna happen. That's why I want you to explore with me. You've been feeling a little rough lately when you're alone...'

'Oh, my God, you look shallow in the sun, too, no matter what you say to me?

'... well. But I don't care about that. How about that? Want to get on with it?

'I don't care... I want to get as many magic props and spells as possible. But I'll be halfway there when I do it with you. That's...'

"A strong, tenacious merchant will soon destroy himself." You know about Miri's contract, don't you?

'... you bring a long old story again. Well, I know...'

That was exactly the story, where merchants who prioritized their greed perished.

A man who gets the tools to generate enormous profits if he doesn't even use them in the wrong way, says he misuses them because of his chronic heart, and then ruins them.

It's just a pretty old story for sure, and young people don't use it these days.

I know, though.

Because there are a lot of fables in Lorraine's book that say so.

"Then take on a little loss."

'... heh. I get it. Then why don't we throw a temporary party for a while? You saved my life, and you owe me that, too?

'Of course. Nice to meet you...... me, Mariana. What about you?'

"I'm Raul."

...... hmm?

The moment I thought they both sounded familiar names...... the view in front of me cracks like glass.

And I felt thoughtfully pulled somewhere, and my vision stained bright white.
