Chapter 409
Leeha was somewhat embarrassed and quickly opened the skill window.
〈Perfect Storm – Range Limit〉
Description: Calm seas can be made rough and rough seas can be made calm. Only clothing imbued with the sea god’s protection can borrow the sea god’s power.
Effect: Creates and destroys a typhoon within a 300m radius of the specified range.
Mana: Mana consumption varies depending on the intensity of the typhoon (0~5,000)
Duration: Duration varies depending on the intensity of the typhoon
Cool time: Cool time varies depending on the intensity of the typhoon
. Calmly. This means that it can control both the creation and extinction of typhoons.
I could tell by looking at the description and effect of the skill, but the conditions were not easy.
“Umm… The mana consumption seems enormous, right? I need a lot more mana than my total mana…”
A unique skill with no grade or level. Although there was nothing to know for sure, the following was a rough guess.
‘I heard from Ki-jeong that the entire area above the Yonggung sea area is a typhoon zone…’
Moreover, it was said that the century was not easy.
It is bound to be difficult for a skill with a total mana of around 1,400 or less to handle a skill that has the possibility of consuming mana at different levels, even up to 5,000.
“I’ll wear it and use it.”
“Um, no, Ram Hwa-jeong can’t wear it. The prerequisite for equipping this coat is that you must have a certain achievement… “There are no achievements related to the Sea God, right?”
“huh.”
Ram Hwajeong nodded without further confirmation. He looked like he was memorizing all his achievements to date.
“older brother! What achievement?! What level? “Can I trade my achievements?”
Lee Ji-won’s eyes brightened at the word “achievement” and he approached her, but that wasn’t there either.
If you are someone who Drake can truly recognize, and you do not have the achievement of ‘A person recognized by the Son of the Sea God,’ you cannot wear this coat.
Except for one person.
“I will use it.”
There will be no need to admit it to yourself. Drake extended his hand towards Leeha.
The moment Leeha handed him his coat, the cabin door opened violently.
A person, no, a mermaid, is approaching, throwing her body so loudly that it makes a loud sound.
“Not yet – you haven’t recovered yet! HP is continuously decreasing-”
“Are you really, really a master?”
The Sea God Guard Captain was crawling on the ground and approaching Drake.
* * *
“… “It’s been a while, Sibreem.”
“young master! Really, really, to save us—”
“No…” … That’s not it. I just happened to pass by this area because of my king’s request. And I am no longer his son. “Can you please stop calling me master?”
Drake slightly pushed Sea God Guard Captain, Seabreem, who seemed to be clinging to him, crying.
However, it is definitely not a ‘coincidence’ that he is here.
‘To get to the New World, you have to cross this sea, and there’s no way Drake, who’s from here, didn’t know that. Was it because of King Kraven’s orders that he just followed obediently? Or arbitrarily?’
Leeha could not guess his inner thoughts.
Maybe it’s just the flow of the quest.
“No matter how much of a human you left, you are still a master. “How can you say such a thing?”
“What Captain Sibreem Guard said is correct, young master.”
Sibrim and Anderson clung to Drake with the attitude that they would grab him by the crotch of his pants. Burke grumbled behind Drake, but didn’t really intervene.
“… That doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten that time. “If that’s the case, please at least leave out the voice, Mr. Master.”
Reluctantly, Drake nodded and Sibreem looked thrilled.
“Of course, master. If the Sea God knew about this, how happy would he be-”
“Hey…” … “I’m sorry for speaking, but can I first hear what the current situation is?”
And Fernand intervened on behalf of the users who were watching the scene with their own emotions.
A reunion between a mermaid in crisis and the former son of the sea god? It may have been an interesting and touching scene, but it did not have much of an impact on the current New World expedition members.
What they want is practical and reliable information! The only being who could have it was Sea God Guard Captain, Sibreem.
Even though Sibrim was fully aware that the humans in front of him had saved him, he did not easily let down his guard.
“… “I don’t know what or how to tell you.”
“Then, let’s start by asking what we are curious about. “Do you know about a new continent, not the existing continent of humans?”
Fernand said. His throat trembled.
Seabreem looked around at the users and looked at Drake’s face before opening his mouth.
“I’ve never been there.”
“You’ve never been there? “So you’re saying you know where it is?”
“… maybe.”
Shivrim’s attitude was somewhat ambiguous.
Do you know or do you not know?
“Umm… Well, let me ask you another question. “Then do you know where the middle part of this ocean is, that is, between the New World, which you ‘probably’ know, and the Old World of humans?”
Fernand asked again. He tightened his hands so hard that the chart he was holding became crumpled.
At least he had hope and desperation to rescue something from this mermaid. It was the same sense of responsibility as a member of the 2nd New World Expedition.
And did Sibrim feel something from Fernand’s earnestness, or was he doing what he had to do as the captain of the sea god’s guard?
His answer was unexpected.
No, perhaps it was something that users had vaguely guessed ever since they rescued the mermaid ‘Anderson’.
“I know that for sure.”
“Then—”
“I know it’s shameless to talk about this in this situation. But do me a favor… , I will tell you anything if you do me a favor.”
Shuuuuk!
What appeared before the eyes of the New World expedition members was a holographic window.
* * *
[Septic Tank Cleaning]
Description: “If the Sea God returns to his original state, there will be no difficulty in driving out the fishmen. However, I cannot get rid of the ‘thing’ of the septic tank that pollutes the mermaids, much less the sea god. Maybe no mermaid can get rid of it. So, humans! Please come with me. Even just one person is fine. If you’re human, there’s a chance that you won’t be contaminated, so please… Please save Undine’s family.”
In order to get rid of the fish people’s rebellion and the magic typhoon, the septic tank must be returned to its original state. Let’s follow Sea God Guard Captain Sibrim and return the sea areas of the Dragon Palace, including the Sea God, to their original state.
However, as soon as you accept the quest, the < Water Ring > skill will be activated and you will be unable to move beyond a certain distance from the Sea God Guard Captain.
(Skill effect applies even when logging out)
Contents: Elimination of the source of contamination inside the ‘septic tank’ owned by Undine’s clan
Reward: 1 right to acquire items in the Dragon Palace treasure trove
+100% intimacy with all mermaid NPCs
Pre-reward: ‘Sea of Dawn’ Conditions for failing to provide location information for the ‘Central Point’
: Upon death, upon death of the Sea God, upon death of Sea God Guard Captain Seabream Upon failure: Achievement –
Intimacy with Howard Drake,
the one who annihilated the mermaids -100%
Do you want to accept?
Users quickly read the hologram window.
The content of the quest itself was extremely simple. I don’t know what’s in the septic tank, but I just need to remove it.
‘If it’s a monster, you just have to catch it. Well, if something else is stuck, you can just remove it anyway.’
However, the road to that content is not easy.
Fernand stuttered and asked Sibrim.
“This ring of water…”
“It’s a token of promise. It’s shameless to ask this, but… Because we still can’t trust humans. “I will protect the will of the promiser from wavering.”
Although Sibreem expressed it in a moderate manner, the explanation was clearly visible in the eyes of the users. That is to say, it is the same as a moving barrier based on Seaburim.
‘To prevent scams? He really does everything. Are you saying that we should just chase after that mermaid?’
As Leeha shook his head, Fernand asked Sibreim again.
“Of course, but… “Is the septic tank in the ocean?”
“exactly. Of course, we have to enter the waters of the Dragon Palace.”
“ah… Well, could you give me a moment? “We also need to have a conversation.”
“Of course. “I’ll wait as long as I can.”
Fernand asked Sibrim for forgiveness. It wasn’t to get permission from the NPC.
It was nothing short of advanced know-how to prevent the hologram quest window from disappearing and being automatically rejected.
“everyone! “If you’ve all read it, let’s gather for a moment!”
Fernand left Sibrim and called the entire New World expedition team into the cabin.
The difficult discussion was difficult from the first topic.
“How do I clear it if I’m in the water?”
That was the first challenge. The sea where a typhoon rages and fishmen rush in. Go there and go into the water to go to the septic tank?
“Wouldn’t the Golden Reptile’s magic solve your breathing problem?”
“But permanent continuation is impossible. “I guess I’ll have to go with you.”
Luger asked, giving Baylipus a new nickname. Baylipus frowned and answered.
“Well, you can’t do that! What if a gold dragon is involved in a quest that may take some time? When we finish the quest, our ships will already be in shambles, right? It is impossible for everyone to accept this quest in the first place. Only a select few people should go…”
It was the Alexander and Bailippus pair that played the biggest role in escaping from the fish people.
Of course, it will be a different situation from then, as users with strong short-term firepower, such as Ramhwajeong and Pyro, have logged in, but in any case, Bailipus’ loss will be a huge loss of power.
The second obstacle, the condition of being a ‘selected few’, also came with it, but even that could not be easily decided.
“If you think about it the other way around, no one can go without Bailippus.”
“Among the talisman skills, there is one related to breathing… That too only lasts two hours.”
“Even if we two brothers go, there is a high possibility that fishmen will flock on the way to the septic tank.”
The cabbage master and the radish master looked at each other and shook their heads.
After the self-buff, the users were confident in hand-to-hand combat, but the martial arts master who had already experienced the fishman had relayed all the facts to the cabbage swordsman.
That it was absolutely impossible for the two of us to do it.
“I don’t think I can…” … Item rewards are desirable, but the chance of dying is much greater. “The failure conditions are strict, and the penalty seems severe.”
“Hakit, I already said that the sea god was contaminated, but if it appears as a monster… “It’s scary to even think about it.”
“Yes. “If you kill him, the quest will fail.”
Kijeong, Biyemi, and Hyein were also skeptical.
The same goes for Bobae. There wasn’t much she could do.
“In the water, original dealers are just food. “It is confirmed that me, Armboost, and the three musketeers will not be able to go.”
Even when the users were muttering and saying one thing at a time, Leeha’s eyes did not leave the hologram window.
Kid also reads and reads again. Kid was the first to open his mouth.
“The nature of the quest is very dirty.”
“What are you talking about, Kid?”
“Have you not noticed yet, Luger?”
“Stop showing off and just talk.”
Kid lifted his hat for a moment, adjusted his hair, and put his hat back on.
It was also the timing to once again focus the users who had already focused on Kid with Luger’s words.
“It means there is no need to clear this quest.”
“yes? why?”
“What we need is not intimacy with mermaids or items.”
“Well, then… ?”
“This is location information. And now, this mermaid named Shivrim offered to give this as a ‘good reward’. This means that you will be notified as long as you accept the quest. Do you know what that means?”
Kid didn’t answer first.
This is because the users gathered here had the insight to understand just this much.
‘indeed… Was Kid the leader among the three musketeers? I thought Leeha thought of everything.’
