286th episode
After finishing his conversation with Seorubal, Jae-ho came out of Daejeon and faced Aish.
"The Dragon King is quite big."
At Jae-ho's words, Aish also burst into laughter.
"That's how we mermaids do it. No matter how much you hate it, you don't treat it poorly!"
'That's why Angula robbed you.’
It occurred to me.
"But what about the others?"
Jae-ho asked because he couldn't see any of his colleagues who went out first.
"I've given you a tour of Atrius. Haha! Don't worry. It's an atrius tour course with a perfect score for starfish."
"Really? Well...….”
It was shocking that even the Elves went on a tour.
He must have been more curious than unpleasantness from this sea.
"Then we shall find the will of the sea."
Of course, I guess I thought I would lose the permission of Seorubal, but Aish guided Jae-ho without asking.
* * *
Aish, who took Jaeho to the back of Wangseong Ocean Tower.
Unlike the light-filled landscape of Atrius, it was full of darkness.
Besides, the water temperature is so low that the whole body is cold.
"What's wrong with this place?”
Jae-ho was nervous because it was not strange even if he was attacked by a monster.
I don't know if Icy's gonna attack him.….
"We call it the land of the dead sea. Isn't that scary? The place chosen by the will of the sea is the place of death.”
Aish, who was moving slowly, raised his hand and pointed to the valleys and stone pillars around him.
"The complex terrain around here is actually made up of bones from dead ancient languages. In other words, this is the grave of the beings who ruled the seas in the distant past."
"All bones?"
It was so huge that it was hard to imagine as a bone of life.
"Is the bear trap aguido an ancient language?"
"I'm a descendant of an ancient word, but I can't really say it's an ancient language. According to the Atrius Great Library's records, the ancient language itself was a threat to the world, but not to the extent of the bear trap. Imagine that. How powerful would it have been if the sea had killed the ancient words that it itself could have been."
"What... if it were stronger than the mouth of the bear trap...….”
"So we must always be modest. That's why you don't reject visitors. The moment you claim to be the master of the sea yourself and blinded by power, the wrath of great will may be directed at us."
It was the entrance of a cave where Aish, who was moving while telling old stories, stopped.
But when I looked closely, I could tell that it was not a cave, but an ancient fish's head bone.
"Amos, the ancient king of fish, who resisted the will of the sea to the last minute. He tried to swallow the will of the sea, but eventually he sank into the sea."
Jaeho and Aish went far into Amos' bones.
"Huh?"
And in the dark, a faint light that began to be seen far away.
"That's..."
"The will of the sea."
As he approached, the light grew bigger and bigger, and Jae-ho, who arrived in the same space, was dazzled by the amazing sight.
The twirling blue aurora seemed more like a jellyfish than just light.
He was swimming around, gently shaking the tentacles of long flowing light.
But that wasn't the only thing that surprised Jae-ho.
"Aish! I heard you were eaten by a bear trap mouth, and you really came back!"
Inside there were all kinds of complex magic devices, and there were other mermaids who managed them.
In their case, however, their appearance was completely different from that of Aish, who had a human upper body.
'Yong......?'
It had a head that looked like an oriental dragon.
"Hi!"
"Aish"
The two shared a welcome hug.
"The one next to it... Are you a human being?"
They saw Jae-ho late.
"That's right. You heard the story. There's a man who saved us."
"Oh! I heard you. It's been a long time since I've seen a human visitor."
Like other mermaids, they also welcomed Jae-ho with open arms.
"But in the meantime, there must have been a lot of changes in the ecosystem on the ground."
"I know. It's a little different from the man I remember."
“…….”
It was their reaction that they didn't have to explain or wanted to do.
"What, does that matter! The important thing is that we have guests!"
He was shoulder-to-shoulder with Jaeho Aish and danced with his tail wagging.
“…….”
With Jae-ho stuck in the middle, he had no choice but to dance according to the mermaid's tail movements.
* * *
After a tumultuous 10-minute welcome from the mermaids, Heiga formally introduced himself.
"Well, you're the first person to see us and not be surprised.”
"I was surprised, too.….’
"We are descended from the ancient mermaids. It's less evolved than the ones out there. Hahaha!"
[The player witnessed an ancient mermaid for the first time.]
[A great increase in reputation.]
"An ancient mermaid? You guys live here?"
"Right. I was cursed because of our damn ancestors. Ha ha ha!!"
"Oh, my..."
"But it's worth it. I can't go out, but I can come as much as I want. Well, even so, it's very rare for humans to come here......Hmm? Wait!"
Suddenly, he stopped talking and circled around Jae-ho and opened his eyes.
"It's you! You used the call of the sea!"
"What?! Sniff, sniff! It's real."
The reason for smelling was unknown, but other ancient mermaids found out that Jae-ho had used the call of the sea.
"Huh? Really?"
Aish, the common mermaid, might not have known, but expressed surprise one step later.
"That's right. But how did you guys find out?”
"We are the ones who keep closest to the will of the sea. It's Chuck if you pretend."
"That's great, by the way. How can a human being use it'sir?”
"Who was that before? You used it too much and got eaten by the sea, didn't you?”
They show off their vastness like ancient mermaids.
"You're a funny guest. It's fun. So what's the purpose of your visit?"
"Well, if you're here, it's your purpose. Wouldn't it be obvious?”
"Of course it's the will of the sea!"
As they came to a conclusion, Jae-ho was able to get what he wanted without any explanation.
'Definitely the most open-minded I've ever met.’
A species hidden deep in the sea, the most outstanding open irony.
"Then what do you want to know? Just say it! Anything about the sea!"
Highga shouted confidently.
"Can we possibly know the location of all the continents in this world?"
"The location of the continent? You mean you need a sea map?"
"That's right!"
"Ay... What is it? Was it just about that?”
"...huh?"
a frivolous high-fight
"I want another tsunami.I thought you were curious about the ancient ruins of the deep sea."
"...do you even know that?”
Of course, I wanted to get it if I knew such things.
It's worth more than a lot of people can do.
"Haha! Of course not. If you move the sea recklessly, you might get angry and repeat the ancient tragedy!"
"Well, you'd better not touch the ancient ruins, either. You don't have to wake up the monsters that are asleep there."
"...then why did you bring that up?”
"Please understand. These guys usually say a lot of crap."
Aish explained to Jae-ho instead.
"Let's get started, anyway!"
Heiga raised his arm and stretched toward the jellyfish of light.
Sarr
Tentacles gently wound his arm, and the same light flowed out of Highga's eyes.
Tu Woong
And, conversely, a fine shock wave that bursts from the stretched hand.
The ripples caused by it were distorted and began to paint.
"It'll take some time. To identify and draw the entire ocean of the world.”
The translucent wave initially only shook irregularly, but began to form as it became more and more overlapping.
On one round, wide plate, large and small dots that fill.
We could see that they represented land on the sea.
"Is the great New World continent a great continent?" Then one, two...….’
Looking at the finished map, Jaeho counted the numbers.
'Total of three super-large landings. Maybe two of them are the original continents and the Whistnan. The other one hasn't been revealed yet.’
If we classify those three as continents and the rest as islands, there were too many things yet to be revealed in New World.
Besides, the big ones were half the size of the continent.
"Well! It's almost finished.”
At the same time as Highga's words, the wave stopped.
Even if it's completed like that.
[We've obtained information about the seas all over the world!]
[Your sea level will be upgraded.]
[Performance is downgraded due to excessive accuracy and volume of information.]
"Oh, why!"
I gave it to you. You don't steal it!
However, when I saw the explanation of the updated sea map, I could see that it was fortunate to have given and taken away.
[]
[Class: Myth]
It's a perfect sea chart of everything in the world, but it's impossible to understand it'
With the will of the sea, only the ancient mermaids can use it properly, and ordinary people can be cursed just by looking at it.]
[ : You can check all land within a radius of 10km. When used by people other than you (Alsia), 50% of your total health is immediately reduced and 1% is permanently reduced.]
[The penalty is adjusted according to the level of navigation-related skills.]
If I hadn't been nerd, I would have never been able to use it.
Suuuu
an actualized and hand-held sun
It was a strange cloth that felt slippery as if touching seaweed.
"Aish. Do you happen to know where the island that brought us?"
Jae-ho asked, pointing to the sea level unfolded by HiGA, not the sea he received.
"Oh, you mean there? Let's see...."
Aish watched carefully and pointed to a large island.
"The place where your signal was transmitted was near there.”
"Really?"
Jae-ho with sparkling eyes.
"There is a continent not far away."
But the exact name of the continent was not known.
Moreover, the triangles of the three continents made it more confusing.
"...Ah! Can you tell me where I used the call of the sea?"
an ingenious idea that suddenly came to mind
The place where the call of the sea was used is the sea near the sea.
By using it as a reference point, we could have known the approximate location of each continent.
"Of course it's possible."
This time, Highga answered.
"Think straight."
Jae-ho smiled as he checked his location.
A fairly large island around the location to which Highga points.
It was the Liesel Forest.
'Then a large continent east of the Lieselan forest is an existing continent, and it is on the other side of the west...….”
It's Wistnan!
The Dinos Primitive Island, which Aish had told me, was located below Wistnan.
"Okay! Thank you, everybody!"
"Hahaha! I'm glad to see you happy.”
"Let's dance!"
Then they, shoulder-to-shoulder for another five minutes, swirled around, wagging their tails.
What a free affinity!
'You must be bored and lonely.
Jae-ho thought so, and he also fully understood the atmosphere around him.
'If so, would you...…,’
The way to cheer lonely people is to solve loneliness!
Moreover, Jae-ho wanted to use this great ability somehow.
"Hi! I have a question."
"Huh? What is it?"
"The way you travel the sea. How do you do that? Is it equally using the will of the sea?"
"Yes, it's the friends here who help."
said Highga, pointing to the ancient mermaids.
"You saw it a little while ago.The ancient mermaids can read the information contained in the will of the sea. We can do ##@&&$*&^ and then ^$&#*@. That's how we build a high-speed tunnel across the ocean."
“…….”
I didn't understand what he used, but what Jae-ho wanted to know was not the principle.
"Is that something you can use without restriction?”
"Not really. It depends on the retention time and the size of the object to be moved, but on average, about 50 people a day can return and return."
"Really?"
That wasn't pretty bad.
No, it was rather the best.
Of course on the premise that mermaids respond positively to their thoughts.
Thud
Jae-ho's arm, which was still shoulder-length, tightened and pulled the mermaids closer.
"Do you have a job with me."
Jae-ho's tongue, which even the emperor had possessed, began to move with agility.
