Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle
Episode 21 "Frozen Sharp Needle Arrows"
As I thought, it's difficult to walk.
Looking down at her muddy feet, Letty raised her eyebrows to the eight characters.
The thick wolf leather boots are covered in mud and can't move as much as you think. It feels like it's weighted, and walking gradually becomes even more dangerous.
"This looks pretty tough. Looks like you've improved your skills."
Grab hands on the barren trunk of a tree and pull your feet out of the mud. Just then, there was a sound of skill level-ups.
I quickly checked the “mirror” and found that the skill < walking > had been increased to level 1.
"Walking"? It's like a status-based skill. "
"It seems like a skill that makes it easier to walk on bad roads like these swamps."
Letty also explained to her face why her skills had improved.
A status-based skill is a skill that compensates for various behaviors by increasing the level without a technique, and Length's skills are also a kind of skill.
It seems that the skill will be able to read unknown languages as the level rises, but this skill of walking has the same effect as Letty said.
Maybe you should keep this skill up a little bit.
For the reason that it would be perfect for the traveler's playstyle, I will leave it up to you not to play with the skill development setting.
"But status-based skills can sometimes be substituted with items and equipment.
"You're the only traveler who tramples evil with his own feet, aren't you?
"... I don't know."
It didn't seem to resonate much with her when I said it with my chest up. She broke her ear in a stupid manner and began to move on.
"For now, let's find out what kind of enemies there are."
"That's right. There are no signs so far, but it seems that the first person who arrived here was instantly killed."
Walk through shallow watery swamps, spreading gentle ripples.
The light fog reflects the sun and the brightness is fine, but the vision is not very good. Letty holds the hammer so that he can attack at any time, and I walk with the camera so that I can shut down at any time.
"Mr. Reggie."
"What's wrong?"
Letty walked in front, killing her voice and raising her hand.
Moving behind her, Letty stretched her fingers all the way forward.
There's Enemy in the shadow of the tree.
"Mm...."
She glanced in the direction she pointed.
A thin tree was growing in the thick fog.
"It's the root of the tree. The surface is clear."
Keep your gaze slightly down.
"Oh, I see it."
"Pi!?
"What's the matter?
"No...."
As I murmur, Letty stretches her shoulders and her ears pink. Asked how she was doing, she shook her head with her gaze down.
I was still murmuring afterwards, but it was too small to hear. For the time being, it's the energy in front of me.
"Is that a frog?
"Probably... I can only see."
She is right, two rounded eyes are slightly visible from the water at the root of the tree.
I don't realize that my golden, emotionless eyes are not very careful. Perhaps the body is buried in the mud.
Let me borrow your shoulder.
"Hmm? Hiya!?
Put your arm on Letty's shoulder and point the camera.
Only my eyes recognized me as a subject. Cut the shutter and place it in the photo.
All right, all right, thank you.
"And suddenly what did you do?"
"Hey, don't blur because it was quite far away. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Letty protested with her cheeks swollen.
I stroke her red hair and relent.
"So what do we do, fight?
"Ununuu.... I'm not fighting yet. I can get away even if I get close."
Letty said, "Give me a hand in grievance."
Surely even if you accidentally approach that hidden creature, you can escape.
At least it was in the picture, so it's not zero harvest.
So we decided to leave the scene and go further into the marsh.
"But it's kind of a quiet place."
Maybe it's because the fog is thin, or the field is dominated by total silence. The Beast Forest was also fairly calm, but the sound of the tree branches rubbing and the leaf's tremor could not be stopped if I heard clearly.
But this lake and swamp is silent once you stop your feet. The reason is that the player has barely reached it yet, but there is no movement to do so.
"I don't feel any sign of Enemies, so what's going on?"
Letty has a sharper feeling than me, but it seems that the situation around her is difficult to grasp, and she is in trouble.
"The frogs were like that earlier, but basically the protozoa here are waiting."
"Is that what this is all about?"
It is a field in many ways in contrast to the forest.
At night in the woods, fierce wolves strip their fangs and come without calling. It was annoying for them to attack our warriors, but neither this quiet nor this calm would calm them down.
Is that it?
Walk like that for a few minutes.
Even so, Letty stopped at the beginning.
"What's the matter?
"No, because I might have seen it wrong."
She leans her neck and knocks down her ear. He doesn't seem confident.
"You can make another mistake. Tell me."
When I pressed a word, she continued her words with a little trouble.
"Shadow? I saw something like that. But it's quite small....."
"The shadow....."
Snake Lake and Swamp is still a field with few players to reach. However, that's why there aren't any other players besides us, and I think it's stranger that way.
That's not why I think she was wrong...
"All right, let's go first. Which one?"
"Here, this way."
I nod and propose to change course.
Letty walks toward the shadow.
The water level is getting deeper.
Yes no. It's hard to walk. "
Pull your feet out of the soft mud and step forward.
The water level rose as we progressed, and now Letty's knees are soaking in water. Thanks to you, your Walking skills have gained momentum.
"Are you sure it's this way?
"No, Letty was definitely here when she saw it."
But this depth and the difficulty of walking are not unusual.
Even if you look at us and run away, I think there's still some trace...
"Mr. Reggie!
When I think about it, Letty's voice resounds sharply.
He raised his face in haste. She looks at me with her eyes open and her gaze behind me.
What...?
A black shadow falls over your head as you try to twist yourself.
When I looked up, my golden eyes met my eyes.
"Gh...!
The silver scale that dissolves in water sparkles. There was a fine splash on my face. It opens its jaw big, shines sharp teeth and jumps in.
"Water snake!?
"Mr. Reggie, get out of here!
Letty screams.
Don't be rude. Deep mud is tangled under my feet and I can't move aggressively.
I close my eyes and prepare to die.
"Shhhhhhhhh!"
The voice of a scattered snake falls.
It was then.
"― Frozen (frozen) sharp needle arrow
"Jah!?
Suddenly, an ice arrow flew from somewhere and stuck it in the side of the snake.
With that shock, the snake collapses into the water and makes a big wave.
"Mr. Reggie!
"Ku"
In that gap, I pull my legs out and rush under Letty.
But the snake is still alive. He immediately reappears his neck and stares at me.
"This way!
A voice rang from the direction where the ice arrow flew.
"Let's go."
Ah.
There is nothing else to rely on now.
When we nodded to each other, we ran like rabbits.
