Chapter 221
Episode 221:
It’s crowded.
Because there were so many people gathered, there was a lot of information available.
“Since ancient times, turtles have been famous for their effectiveness in revitalizing a weak body, and unlike medicinal herbs that only have fancy names, they are actually rich in nutrients. especially! “There is nothing like the energy of those men!”
gulp!
Men accelerated their eating after hearing advanced information that it was good for stamina. Naturally, today’s chef was X.
I’m not interested in stamina, the only thing that matters is stats. As always, X muttered and played with his hands.
Katharine grinned and laughed at her colleagues.
“There’s a lot of fuss about useless things.”
“Hey sister. “Can’t you even feel it?”
“Okay, okay. “Eat a lot and grow up.”
“That’s sexual harassment, sister!”
The giant turtle had as much loot as it was big.
As mentioned, the shell could be used as an ingredient in medicine and accessories, and the meat, as you can see, was transformed into today’s dinner.
It goes without saying that a significant amount of ingredients that are not commonly found were stored in the inventory.
Even though my cancer stats were good, I was eating too much alone. X asked politely.
“Would you like some more, Danwoo? “They say it’s good for stamina.”
“That energy? “No, I’m fine.”
“Tsk. “Ji is a high school girl?”
Katharine clicked her tongue at Danwoo’s sullen face. She, who has a refreshing personality, could not understand Danwoo in this regard.
Despite this minor commotion, Asus was looking into something.
“Is that a treasure string or something?”
“huh. “If you miss it here, it will be a huge headache.”
“You’re having a hard time. “I won’t receive gold today.”
“What the hell. “Thank you?”
In fact, it could be said that Asus was in charge of this voyage.
X also knew that, so he had explained to him the circumstances of the West Underworld and the Fire Empire.
X scanned the deck.
‘It’s just the beginning, but the atmosphere is good.’
It was definitely a different atmosphere from the bloody voyage. Unlike the unruly Kurula warriors, I felt united.
X, who was munching on the food, shook his head.
“Of course I have to focus on my work.”
In fact, there were only a few things you could do while floating on the sea.
The best way to fill my spare time was fishing. Seo Ji-ha was less bored because she had an outstanding competitor.
“Wow, what kind of skill is that? I don’t know anything about combat, but it seems like a very practical skill. “I feel like I can feel the power.”
“It’s the basics.”
“Basics? “This?”
“Yes, as they commonly say, it is a flat hit.”
Swish!
I couldn’t neglect the basic training of swinging into the air.
X was keeping in mind what the eight titans he had met at the giant’s training center had said.
The ultimate in basic skills!
Paltitan said that continuous training is required to reach a level beyond master.
However, since Hansi was busy so far, there was no time to use the basics well.
‘Let’s think of it as a time for reorganization.’
I will calm my mind through fishing and training!
If you’ve been busy running so far, I thought you’d calm down your heart rate before arriving on the East Continent.
However, if the human mind goes as it thinks, would it be God or human?
X spoke softly to Asus.
“It’s already been 5 days since we left the Arba Continent.”
“The voyage begins now.”
“There is a saying, well begun is half done. So, when can you arrive on the East Continent? “I think the treasure string has become a little clearer than before.”
The clearer the treasure string, the closer it gets to the target. X also had a vague idea of the effect of the treasure string.
“That’s half right and half wrong. It shows the path to the target, but just because it becomes clearer doesn’t mean you’re closer to the target. And the fact that the treasure string has become clear…”
There was madness in Asus’ eyes.
“It means the time for decision has arrived.”
“Decision time?”
“Do you remember the point I told you?”
Of course I remembered it.
The Tomb of the Sea King and the naval forces of the Hua Empire. Asus raised his hand and checked the sea breeze.
“The current is getting stronger.”
“Are we getting closer to the Sea King’s Tomb?”
“Yes, it will be in sight tomorrow.”
The Tomb of the Sea King!
It seemed to have an effect from a long way away. In fact, it felt as if the ship’s sailing speed had decreased compared to before.
When Asus turned his head, X followed suit. The pursuers’ ship was visible behind them.
“Getting those troublesome guys out of the grave.”
“If that’s the case, we’ve already talked about it.”
“Actually, my plan is a little different from then.”
Asus continued his story calmly, but his eyes filled with madness remained. X, who had been quietly listening to his revised plan, opened his mouth.
“…It seems really crazy, but at the same time, it’s a plan I just can’t refuse.”
*
Giant Guild Stella!
Stella is a guild created mainly by British players, and its leader, Bolero, used to be a successful young businessman.
As soon as Fate appeared, Bolero sold all his businesses and threw himself into Fate.
The result was a huge success!
Bolero used enormous initial funds to raise the level of Stella Guild to a level that no one could easily surpass.
Money begets money, so taking over dozens of fiefdoms was planned.
“…X!!”
However, one player named X ruined his solid road.
The incident started from an unexpected place. The Siege of Veneta attracted the world’s attention.
The appearance of the giant trees was a major event that made most people cheer, but at least not for Bolero.
The place where the giant trees stumbled on the mountain behind them while hurrying their steps was, after all, their territory!
A castle wall that collapsed miserably.
Damage occurred, but it was bearable. Bolero was also one of the users who were passionate about Fate.
I thought I had paid a high price for watching X’s activities.
But the real problem was different.
When X discovered and revealed the new continent, the sparks that flew out hit them!
Inspired by X’s activities, the biggest guild among the big guilds, Fajukjise, expanded its power like crazy.
In total, there were five territories that were taken away by such a traitor.
It was literally like a whale having a seizure and the shrimp’s back exploded.
But how can a shrimp lose its temper with a whale?
Bolero simply changed the target of one’s anger.
“We must discover the East Continent before X!”
Actually, it wasn’t because of trivial emotions.
This is because repeated defeats in battles with Pajukjise have weakened its influence on the Arba Continent.
It was a time when a gamble for a comeback was necessary to maintain the Stella Guild.
There were also those who chased the X ship with a different purpose than Stella.
Wicked guild Hellhound. They were tracking X without getting tired.
Leader Holt felt uncomfortable.
“What are these bastards doing that are blocking our way?”
“To arrive at the East Continent before X….”
“X arrived at the East Continent? “Wow, it’s a dream.”
I will bury X and Explorer together!
Holt was truly having a wild dream. If the leader did not know the subject, it was the subordinates who suffered. Still, Executive Watson was getting the hang of it.
“Yes! So, we must avoid friction with Stella. Unless we attack first, Stella won’t touch us. “Rather, they would want us to hold X back.”
What Watson said was true.
Although they were actually pursuers with different goals, there was no conflict between them.
Because X had one common goal. They planned to maintain their power at least until the target was in sight.
“Tch, track it properly.”
Holt snorted and lay down on the deck.
It was difficult to visually inspect the X ahead of the ship, even if it had a motor.
The situation was the same for other ships, each relying on their own skills to chase the lead.
There was strong criticism of these opportunists in the community.
-Aren’t you really just going to get a spoon at the table?
-It’s so annoying haha Life is easy~
-Please Jung.Ui.Gu.Hyun
-Don’t worry haha X will destroy everything haha
-X. vs. light s. Hwang S.
Public opinion is so biased!
It was all thanks to Xernis.
Low taxes, free land prices, various user-friendly policies, and even cute and lively NPCs!
X doesn’t even have a desire for gold! Among users, X already had the image of a saintly gentleman.
Bolero was also sensitive to public opinion.
“But there is a chance.”
If X did it, I can do it too! It was all a matter of preoccupation.
Bolero believed that he could outperform X simply by arriving on the Eastern Continent at the same time, rather than first.
Did they say that heaven helps those who help themselves?
“…see.”
Finally, X’s ship began to become visible to the naked eye. It must be because of the whirlpool that seems to be the tomb of the Sea King.
I also did some research on Bolero in advance, so I was familiar with its notoriety. He ordered the guild members.
“Be careful about changing directions.”
At the same time, the course changed outward. This was to be less affected by ocean currents.
It seemed like everyone was thinking the same thing.
Ships turning their rudders simultaneously in the same direction!
I don’t know about tomorrow, but today I am a colleague, so somehow I feel reassured.
But the situation began to take an unexpected turn.
“You look unusual, Master!”
“What do you mean?”
“It looks like those bastards have been completely swept away by the current?”
“What?”
X’s ship was being sucked towards the great maelstrom tomb of the Sea King.
I thought that as long as the legendary explorer Asus was out there, the voyage would never fail.
Bolero said.
“That can’t be possible. “There must be something up there.”
A little further forward.
However, the moment I encountered the Tomb of the Sea King, such disbelief disappeared like melting snow. There was no way he, a legendary explorer, could survive in a whirlpool like this.
Bolero had his hands full of sweat.
“…But it’s X.”
Could X have been swept up in such a whirlpool without any countermeasures? After judging rationally, a conclusion was reached.
Bolero clenched his fist and shouted.
“Advance! “I’m chasing after you!”
Among the stopped ships, only the Stella Guild ship began heading towards the vortex. Bolero opened his eyes and glared at the whirlpool.
‘I’m sure there’s someone out there.’
If you are scared, there is an ulterior motive that cannot be recognized.
As a result, Bolero’s judgment was correct.
Because X and Explorer entered the Tomb of the Sea King deliberately.
“You crazy bastards!!”
But I couldn’t imitate them without going crazy.
A spinning whirlpool with the power to suck up the entire ocean!
X’s ship is quickly sucked into the deep sea, leaving everything to the whirlpool as if riding a wave. Asus held the key tightly and his eyes were full of confidence.
“This is a deep-sea wormhole!”
Wormhole!
It was the only way to drastically shorten the voyage period, and it was led by a string of treasures.
Can the sailing period be shortened in a situation where 1 second is a waste? X had no reason to object.
X was busy trying to maintain balance on the deck.
‘Let me see.’
Suddenly, X, who was looking at the whirlpool, opened his mouth.
Something wandered around and caught my eye.
“…But I guess we’re not the only users of the wormhole?”
The Sea King! A huge shadow was swaying beyond the turbulent whirlpool.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
