“What should I do?”
“It hasn’t popped up in the quest window yet, but it definitely feels like it will lead to a quest. “You will have to make a choice.”
“My guide, Mr. Fernand, doesn’t know what to do. And rmaids? What, Eoin? “It must be sothing under the sea, but what else can we do?”
“It seems like it might be related to the Demon King’s sculpture. It might also have sothing to do with the monsters becoming stronger. Wouldn’t it be better to stop by?”
“We have to think carefully about our schedule. Speaking of the Devil’s Piece, what if this is also a trap to waste our ti? Even at this very mont, Bluebeard may be awakening other pieces of the Demon King in the New World.”
“Well… Besides, the users can survive sohow, but the NPCs only have 100 days worth of food. “The problem may beco more serious if we stop by sowhere.”
Users’ opinions varied.
Not only are there two major differences of opinion about whether we should help or not, but even within that, different thods of how to do it are mushrooming.
‘There is a clear possibility that he did this to kill ti, like the Faust gun. Damn, when you think like that, it suddenly becos complicated, doesn’t it?’
There are users who bicker, and there are also users who organize their thoughts.
The cabin of the New Serpent, where various stories and thoughts were exchanged according to each person’s inclinations, suddenly beca noisy.
“We have to go first. That much has not changed.”
“yes?”
The situation was summarized below.
“It’s never too late to think about it as you go. We have only sailed for 29 days. If, as Mr. Fernand said, the voyage period is approximately 60 days, we will reach halfway to this sea by tomorrow. “I’ll think about whether to help that rmaid with her work or not, but first of all, wouldn’t it be more important to find a place to build the first mana relay tower?”
Rather than thinking about things that haven’t happened yet, the players talked about the quests they had received and what they had to do right now, and those words were enough to wake up the users.
His head, which had been looking down at the chart, finally lifted up.
“you’re right. Tomorrow is already the 30th day, and now it’s ti for the flying monsters to co out. It is not too late to decide on rmaid-related quests when the quest window appears or the story progresses a little further. “First of all, it will be important to find an island to build a mana relay tower.”
Of course, the mana relay tower cannot be made to float on water.
We will arrive at a place that can be judged to be the midpoint of the Sea of Dawn around tomorrow, so now is the ti to find a nearby island.
“Okay, but how do we find the island?”
“Was it a speed boat? “Shouldn’t we take it down and have people with flight magic scout it out?”
“I think it would be better for druids, tars, and summoners to use summons to find it quickly. The rest of you guard the ship.”
“What should I do, Fernand?”
I managed to steer clear of the discussion related to the rmaid Quest, but if there were too many people, everything would inevitably end up this way.
Users were struggling to find an island to build a mana relay tower and asked Fernand, but even Fernand could not co up with a clear solution.
“I have no choice but to find it first. I’ll even give you a basic telescope, so if you find a small island, you can also build a mana relay tower there-”
“Are you all idiots?”
While Fernand was also scratching his head and thinking, Kidd, leaning against the cabin wall, lifted his hat.
“Eh? Kid? “What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
Everyone’s attention was focused on Kid with the following questions.
“There’s a ‘rmaid’ out there now. “Are you thinking of running in front of a being called the water spirit?”
“…ah!”
“This is not the behavior of people who were concerned about the treatnt of rmaids just a mont ago-”
“Thank you, Kid! Mr. Fernand! Just go out and ask the rmaid! “Let alone going to their Dragon Palace and helping them, we can at least use the information anyway!”
A rmaid is a spirit of pure water that has beco tangible.
And according to Bailippus’s expression that the spirit is an elent of the corresponding nature, the rmaid is no different from the sea itself!
Many other users do not yet understand the relationship between rmaids and water spirits.
However, after asking Bailippus about this and that, he was able to imdiately understand even from Kid’s few words.
Kid also obtained information about rmaids through Bailippus.
‘When did you beco friends with Bailippus again, pretending to be quiet? Anyway, I can’t let down my guard.’
Lee Ha saw Kid smiling at him and laughed along with him.
Kid must have also fully realized that Lee Ha obtained information through Bailey Puss.
“Yes! also! This is why I like the Three Musketeers! “Hurry up and ask!”
When Fernand took the chart and went out of the cabin, users flocked to follow him.
The 29th day of sailing, a day before the appearance of the flying monster.
The mbers of the New World expedition team who learned about the new race and spirits called rmaids could not hide their excitent and interest.
And that excitent was shattered by one word from the rmaid.
“New continent?”
The rmaid tilted her head.
“yes! Do you know anything? Uh, if we go another 30 days, there might be a large landmass-” “
No… I don’t know what you’re talking about… If we go at the speed of this ship for about 30 more days, it will be the sea near Yonggung… “There’s a small island nearby, but I’ve never heard of a continent?”
The first person whose face was distorted was Fernand.
* * *
“What… do you an? There is no new continent? No, that can’t be – I saw it! At the end of the 50-day voyage at this speed, I clearly felt the energy of the earth beyond the completely destroyed fleet! What about those seagulls? What about the seagulls-”
“…over there- So… what you saw then must have been an island. “I said it’s a small island, but that’s only compared to the ocean where we are staged. It’s not that small, but it’s definitely not a continent.”
The rmaid looked at Fernand with an expression of regret.
Although it wasn’t his fault, other users couldn’t say anything while looking at Fernand’s deep expression of frustration.
Anxiety was perating every corner of the New-Serpent.
“Nonsense… nonsense…”
Fernand pulled out his hair.
My jaw was shaking so much that my teeth made a clicking sound. The seriousness of the situation did not need to be discussed.
“Do you by any chance know the concept of a continent? What a continent is? Have you ever seen the human continent?”
“I never saw it in person, but I learned it. We also have a map comparing the size of this sea with the size of the human continent… At the current speed of this ship, it is approximately 30 days away in this direction, right?”
“yes.”
“yes. “If that size is a continent, then there is no continent 30 days further in the direction of this ship.”
“Then – then… do you know where the center of the Sea of Dawn is? About where is the distance between that continent of humans and the new continent?” “
I am a mber of the Wave Clan, but I am a very low-level rmaid. My knowledge of the entire ocean is still lacking…”
“Ah… ah…”
Fernand could no longer speak properly. All I could do was open my mouth and moan like an idiot.
‘Crazy, what Fernand’s first expedition discovered wasn’t the New World? Then how on earth is this expedition going?’
The following also fully understood the seriousness of the situation.
The rmaid’s last words were tantamount to a death sentence for Fernand. No, it wasn’t simply Fernand’s frustration.
This plan itself was created based on Fernand’s firm belief and accumulated experience.
In other words, the entire plan of this second New World expedition was shaken to its core.
“Excuse , what does this conversation an? Are you saying that the expedition to the New World won’t end in 60 days?”
One user asked, tilting his head.
However, no one could get the answer “Yes” out of their mouth.
To hide their anxiety.
“…If people who are currently on logout rotation co in and hear this, they will think that hidden caras are being fild…?”
“Is there a joke in this situation, Mr. Ki-jeong?”
Only Ki Jeong expressed the horror of the current situation with humorous words.
* * *
“Did you know, Mr. Bailipus? Or Hyein… But they are the ones who know the most about space.”
“I have never been beyond the Sea of Dawn. “I don’t know if Lord would have known, but…”
“I don’t know either. “I know that there will be coordinate values in calculations, but that’s literally theoretical anyway… There are problems with mana and stability, so you can’t just move through space without permission.”
Both Bailippus and Hyein shook their heads when asked the following question.
After the conversation with the rmaid ended and the users went to their respective ships, the overall atmosphere was indescribably down.
Lee Ha-man was traveling from ship to ship to conduct additional investigations.
Of course, the reason Lee Ha was walking around like this was because Fernand was stretched out as if he was sick.
The user who worked hard and ran around to form this New World expedition team is now at risk of taking responsibility for all failures…
‘The New World is a place that even Ancient Dragons have never been to. It’s so unreasonable to put the bla on just one person, Fernand, just because he made a mistake in his calculations. To put it bluntly, it was sothing that no NPC or user could have known.’
Of course, we can’t just wait for that to happen.
We wouldn’t have been able to get this far if it weren’t for Fernand’s experience in the first New World expedition, where he managed to find out information and turn the ship around thanks to the sacrifices of the continent’s resources and NPCs.
Above all, no matter how bad the situation is, this is a ga.
It is clear that the managent team could have made it this far in vain, but at least from a world view, wasn’t it an event that all countries put in their best effort to create?
Lee Ha’s thoughts were that it couldn’t simply end like this.
‘First of all, we need to recognize what the problem is. Since the original 60-day navigation schedule has been extended indefinitely, the biggest problem in the current situation is… food for NPCs.’
Users must survive by consuming only enough food to maintain stamina.
If your stamina runs out, your HP and MP will not recover, and if your hunger gets worse, natural consumption will begin.
However, no matter how much you save, the food you initially packed was only enough for 100 days.
What if the voyage period increases by more than twice that amount? Not only are there problems for users, but NPCs who only make a living in Middle Earth may die!
‘Even though users are operating at full capacity for fishing and other things, it is doubtful whether this will help the food situation for a few more days. In any case, the maximum in the current situation is about 110 days.’
It was natural that there were suggestions to go back.
To date, the voyage has taken approximately 29 days.
This ans that it takes 29 days to go back, replenish food, then set off again and take another 29 days to reach the current location.
‘But it’s too late. Too late.’
Food replenishnt cannot be completed in just one day.
If you include that extra ti, it will take at least 65 more days just to get back to your current location.
For an expedition to the New World, of which we do not know how long it will take, the period is definitely extended.
In other words, it ans that the ti period originally planned to reach the New World will be far exceeded. That was enough to make Bluebeard complete all preparations for the Middle Earth system.
