141 – Sea Wall (2)
An image storage magic sphere built into the exploration robot.
We looked into the contents of the magic sphere.
To find out what is happening inside the sea walls.
-Weeeing·····.
However, there was nothing much to say at first.
Only the scene of the exploration robot entering the sea wall and moving in a straight line was recorded.
“····It’s more ordinary than I thought?”
10 Minutes passed like that.
But still nothing was happening.
Except for the fact that there was no life in the sea, it was no different from other videos of diving into the sea.
“····Hmm?”
Then something strange happened when we advanced about 5 minutes further.
The shape of a stranger begins to creep into view.
We focused our attention on the video with nervous expressions.
I paid attention to whether that flabby-looking person was a real person.
[····Stop. From here, only qualified people can enter.]
I was concentrating on that flaccid black doll.
Suddenly, a boy’s clear voice was heard.
People live beyond the walls of the sea.
“Jeez, really people—!”
“Shh!”
I calmed down the startled guide and waited for the boy’s next line.
I focused my attention on the video, hoping to reveal as much as possible.
[····What is this? Golem·····? Ha, you sent something like this?]
However, the boy could not be seen.
Only an irritated voice comes out.
-Swaaa!
And that was the end.
Suddenly the screen shook back and forth and the entire ocean began to swirl.
A huge tornado occurred in the sea and sent the exploration robot upward.

[Kwasik! Kwasik! Quad deuk! Puddeuddeuk!]
It wasn’t just that.
Various strange phenomena occurred within the tornado and began to destroy the exploration robot.
Water in the shape of a cavalry charges at the exploration robot, an unknown strong pressure crushes the steel plate of the exploration robot, or the exploration robot is thrown against a huge rock that appears intermittently, in all sorts of ways. Caused damage.
The exploration robot, now in tatters, was pushed to the top of the sea wall by tremendous force and fell to the ground from 600 meters in the air.
“·····It’s a magic trick.”
After the video ended, Elena was the first to open her mouth.
She continued her next words rapidly with an extremely excited expression.
“The sea wall was not some magical phenomenon, but a structure created artificially by someone! Only with magic! How did they do it? Could it be that they are using the techniques of the fallen Black Empire? “The people inside are descendants of the Black Empire?”
She presents several hypotheses with an excited face, like Archimedes entering a bathtub and shouting ‘Eureka!’
However, a hypothesis is just a hypothesis, and the only way to prove it is to ask directly.
You have to somehow break through the sea wall.
“····I think it will be difficult.”
But no matter how I was, this time was difficult.
You have to go inside through an underwater tornado that kills even the Sword Master.
It is absolutely impossible at the current level.
In the end, all that remains is to meet the ‘qualifications’ mentioned by the unidentified boy…
“What on earth does qualification mean?”
“····Well.”
I had no way of knowing what that ‘qualification’ was.
I would have prepared for anything if I had at least a hint, but there was nothing I could do now that I had no information or hints.
“Hmm…”
Three days passed like that.
Even though I racked my brain for three days, I couldn’t think of a way to get through the castle walls.
I had no way of knowing what qualifications the boy was talking about, and no matter how good my suit was, there was no guarantee that it would be able to get through that enormous tornado.
“····I’ll try it.”
In the meantime, Elena came forward.
However, the method she proposed was also a proposal with extremely low feasibility.
“···I’ll try a magic trick. Then the sea wall itself will collapse.”
Her proposal is to use a reverse magic on the magic that formed the sea wall to tear down the wall.
·····For now, it sounds like nonsense.
It’s an incredibly crazy technique that created hundreds of meters of sea water.
No matter how great the wizard Elena is, can she break the ancient people’s magic?
“····Please do so. “For now, that’s the only way.”
But there was only one way left.
For now, I had no choice but to leave it to Elena.
If this continues, won’t we have to return to the empire without any results?
As soon as food was available, I decided to do everything I could.
“Let the meeting begin.”
So I called everyone together and held a meeting.
Assuming that Elena’s ‘reversal magic’ is successful, it was decided to set manuals and guidelines for the rest of the people.
“There will be a disaster.”
To do so, we must first figure out what will happen when the reversal ceremony is successful.
In order to respond to a phenomenon, you must accurately understand the phenomenon.
The phenomenon I identified was ‘disaster’.
What would happen if the sea, which rose hundreds of meters high, collapsed in an instant and plummeted to the ground?
No one in this area will be able to survive.
When this is reproduced as a ‘hologram’, everyone’s mouths drop.
This is truly an act close to suicide.
“But that doesn’t mean there is no way.”
However, if there was no way to solve it, I didn’t even bring it up.
No matter how bad a disaster is, if you prepare thoroughly, it can end up as just an incident.
“First of all, the entire fleet must be evacuated far away before disarming the spell.”
So the first manual I thought of was to evacuate the fleet.
Keep a safe distance as long as possible and send it far away before disarming the spell.
That way, you won’t be submerged in a catastrophe with 600m waves.
“It would be better to get out of here. “An uninhabited island before entering the Magentani Strait.”
And the place where my dreadnought should launch is an uninhabited island outside the Magentani Strait.
The boat anchors there and waits until the aftereffects of the 600m waves subside.
“Well… Then what should the Archmage do? “It’s okay for us to take refuge on a deserted island, but shouldn’t the Archmage remain here to undo his magic?”
At that time, the guide asked a good question.
What should I do with Elena, who is left behind to undo the spell?
“You can take refuge in the underground bunker.”
The method is an underground bunker.
They dig deep into the ground here, create an underground bunker, and then take refuge there.
If you do that, you will be able to safely get food and lodging until the battleship returns, and you will also be able to avoid any possible retaliation from the wall men.
“We will divide the group into groups. A group that will board the fleet and take refuge on an uninhabited island before canceling the spell. And the group that will remain in the underground bunker.”
“······.”
“···And I think there will only be two people left in the bunker. Me and Master. “Just the two of us.”
The group remaining in the underground bunker.
To meet that condition, you must have excellent military power.
That way, if the humans inside the walls try to retaliate, we can respond.
Also, if response is not possible, you must be able to run away quickly.
This means that you need to be good at long-distance teleportation like Elena, or have mobility with an underwater jet engine like me.
Anyway, for various reasons, it was decided that Elena and I would be the ones remaining in the underground bunker.
In the first place, it would be impossible to build a large bunker with the resources we have now, so it would be appropriate to make it large enough for just two people to last for about a month.
“Of course, all of this is only possible if the teacher succeeds in the magic trick.”
However, if the reversal ceremony fails, it is of no use.
It’s just bullsh*t.
“····There is no basis, but somehow it seems possible. “I’ll try.”
However, Elena promised her success.
He started research after leaving a meaningful comment that somehow it seemed possible.
Fifteen days have passed like that.
However, Elena was still researching her magic that created the sea and putting effort into discovering her magic technique.
So, it means that we haven’t found a sharp number yet.
The underground bunker has already been completed.
“I found it! I found it!!!!!!!”
In the midst of considering returning to the empire.
Suddenly, Elena let out a shout of joy, saying that she had discovered her magic formula.
I don’t know how he discovered it, but he created a magic technique that was the antithesis of the sea wall.
He could indeed be called a great wizard.
“Phew…Then let’s begin.”
After another 15 days.
After returning the entire fleet to the uninhabited island, we finally decided to perform a reversal ceremony.
It was decided to tear down the mysterious power that formed the wall of the sea.
I don’t know if it’s possible.
-Paaat!
Eventually, Elena began to soften her mana.
When all the mana in her body was activated, a blue haze erupted from her entire body as proof.
-Gooooo…
Elena, who activated her mana in this way, created a magic in her own image and a magic that she engraved on the ground in advance. She then simultaneously casted the spells stored in the spell scroll and began weaving them into her unknown spell.
It was a high-level technique that I couldn’t understand at my level and couldn’t even dare to try to understand.
-Sarrr…
The unidentified magic that was completed was broken into particles and began to seep into the sea walls.
The spell was so difficult for her to cast that Elena was drenched in cold sweat and panting, but the sea wall did not move at all.
It is impossible to tear down that castle wall…
-Kugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugu!
She thought, and the earth began to tremble.
Something is about to happen.
“Let’s go to the bunker!”
“Yes!”
We immediately ran to the entrance of a nearby underground bunker.
After opening the steel door with magic authentication, I went down the stairs to the bottom.
Then, an open space measuring 13 pyeong appears.
– Kugugugugugugugugugung···· Kugugugugung·····.
Soon, we each sat down in an empty seat and waited until the sound stopped.
Elena said that part of the castle wall would collapse, not the entire wall, but even if it was only part of it, a huge amount of water would pour out, so she informed them that they would have to wait a while.
“·····Shall we go out?”
I waited like that for 9 hours.
A sound that does not sound like anything.
Soon, we came out along the separately created underwater passageway.
As expected, this flat land was filled with water.
Part of the castle wall collapsed and was filled with water.
“It must be over there…beyond the castle wall.”
That’s how we saw the space exposed by the collapse of the sea wall.
A human city filled with buildings of a style I had never seen before appeared.
As expected, civilized people live within the walls.
“You were hiding there.”
But then.
An unfamiliar girl’s voice came from behind.
When she quickly turned her head, a beautiful girl wearing exotic clothing was smiling at Elena and me.
Like Isabella, with her body floating in the air.
“How…!”
We didn’t even feel the girl’s popularity.
We were embarrassed and quickly took up a fighting stance.
Even if it’s just me, what kind of monster would he be if he couldn’t even pretend to be popular with Elena?
While he was glaring at the girl with such a nervous expression, the girl said with a chuckle.
“There is no need to be so guarded. “Because at least one person can survive.”
“······?”
“Who is the person who performed the magic spell? “He is the one who tore down the walls we built.”
In response to the girl’s question, I stared at Elena.
Elena also looked dumbfounded and revealed that she had canceled her spell.
The girl answered with a grin.
“That is enough. You have proven your qualifications. “Because you can’t tear down the castle wall unless you’re a player.”
“······.”
···Player?
I couldn’t help but freeze at the girl’s words.
Doesn’t “Player” Mean someone who plays this game like me?
But Elena must be an NPC…
“That’s…”
At that time, the girl looked at me and blurted out her words.
It looks like he is thinking about what to do with me.
Soon, the girl spoke.
“Just follow me. “I’ll have to ask my grandfather what to do.”
From noble mtl dot com
With those words, the girl flew towards the city.
Soon we made eye contact, nodded and followed behind her.
Without even imagining what would happen after this.
