“Annoying, really.”
I’ll send the idle guys.
A descendant of the mermaid royal family. Niviz, dressed in white sharkskin, frowned as she cut through the water.
‘Baruch is too fussy. Is it all if he is first?’
The last time, a group of humans broke through the border and stole the Orb of Storms that Levinia was carrying, after which the number of suspicious soldiers increased dramatically.
‘It’s not even worth it.’
Niviz gnashed his teeth, sweeping through his dark-green, seaweed-like hair.
Baruch, a giant mermaid.
Because he inherited the blood of the mermaid king for the longest time, he was the strongest among the brothers born in the spawning pond, and became king with the consent of his brothers.
‘It’s not even a real royal blood.’
It makes me angry because he treats me like a real Royal Blood.
It is true that Niviz himself has traits that are advantageous to reconnaissance, but it is not really war or dangerous enemies have appeared, so he is exploited like this.
‘Try to make the ornaments and jewels given less shiny.’
Like the mermaids called crows of the sea, they love things that shine brightly.
Only if it comes into your own hands. You have to splash it all over your body or roll around on it.
Niviz grinned at the idea of the jewel, then suddenly looked around.
‘however… Why is it so quiet?’
It was an area where there was a stormy island for a while, and a place where mermaids often came and went to try to break through the island’s barrier.
So there were originally few marine monsters near this beach. At most, small and medium-sized turtles with strong shells, or a place where you would hardly see a lost young sea serpent or kraken.
‘But it’s too quiet.’
But now, besides the fish swimming in schools, you can hardly see even small monsters.
In this case, it is only possible to see it in the area of large monsters nestled in the deeper sea.
‘… Could there be a nest nearby?’
Niviz slowed his swim and looked around. Slowly concentrating the mana in his eyes, he began to scan the place very carefully.
“… What is that?”
It’s hard to see because there’s a distance and the water is overturned by the storm, but it’s definitely floating on the water.
ship.
Niviz swam slowly in the water and nodded.
“Humans came again?”
He probably didn’t come to eat more since he had already stolen the storm beads.
In addition, humans who decided to ally with the mermaids still had a date to come.
Then you’re saying that they’re different humans than last time, and they’re not allies, right?
‘The guy who went to pick up Levinia. Didn’t they get caught by humans?’
It’s not that military ships came from this sea, it’s a pretty big ship, but it’s only one ship, so it can’t be.
No matter how stupid you are, you can’t do that. Mermaids in this sea?
Niviz laughed softly. Small bubbles of air rose from her mouth.
‘Are you sitting there and stealing alcohol?’
Well, maybe that’s because he was a bit on the rough side?
Nivij grabbed a large fish passing by and met his eyes.
“There is a human ship. human race. ship. human.”
Let’s send three or four as an interim report and explore more.
Niviz rode three or four fish and sent them to the palace, then swam toward the island.
‘Let’s see if Levinia is still locked here or moved to that ship.’
If it’s locked up, I’ll just take it with me. Let that idiot pamper people and have fun.
Niviz smiled and lifted his head above the stormy surface of the water, took a deep breath, and began stepping on the sand, one step at a time.
I undid the white cloth wrapped around my body and wrapped it under the legs instead of the tail, and I thought as I ran my hair, which was washed away by the rain.
‘If I take Levinia, will Baruch give me more jewels?’
happy thoughts.
self-
And the moment I turned my head toward the cave, the world spun around.
And all I could see was a headless mermaid slowly collapsing forward.
‘uh… … ?’
For a moment, no sound came from Niviz’s mouth, which he was about to say without realizing it.
“Did you come too?”
It was the last word I heard in my deafened ears at the same time as my eyes turned black.
* * *
“Oh, this is nonsense! There must be something lying!”
“What are you talking about. Because the game is fair. Isn’t that right, Luna?”
“… For now, it is.”
Levi screaming and screaming, and Rachel smiling and carrying candy. Luna nodded with a strange expression on her face.
“lie! Didn’t you do something with Mana without my knowledge?”
―Well, when you do it for the first time, you may have such doubts.
“That can’t be the case, junior Levi. Not everyone lifts it up enough to hide the corner slightly with mana. If you get caught, you get five times the candy.”
… Oh, have you ever played cheat Jenga, you guys?
A moment of free time in the wake of a storm.
I gave away the board game for the kids to play with, and also gave Levy the initial money of a jar of candy.
And now, Levy, who has destroyed Jenga four times in a row, is upset that he ate a few without thinking at first, and there are less than half a bottle left.
So he goes wild and shakes his soft body saying that there is a conspiracy.
‘No matter how you think about it, isn’t that a problem with your fingers?’
Looking at my chubby fingers like rice cakes well soaked in water, I came up with a pretty reasonable result.
In addition, the other guys are now masters of Jenga.
“Don’t do that, how about a dice game this time?”
Looking at the old people who shared half of the newbie’s candy bottle, I laughed and suggested a new game.
The dice come out when you press a button, so that finger won’t be a handicap.
I sat down next to the magic stove and drank tea while watching Levy, whose eyes sparkled again at the new game, and the guys that Levy looked cute at. Now, thanks to the storm, drinking well even in a tilting cabin, as expected, humans are animals of adaptation.
When the hot water goes inside, you feel languid.
The scenery reflected in the eyes was also warm.
a joyful laugh. A time when being on guard not knowing when you might be attacked or when the Evil Gods gather monsters and kill them all night is no play.
In the original story, the conversations we had became more and more desolate. Whether it was necessary to keep humans alive, and what the difference was between the Evil Gods and other humans.
In the end, Kane put it off and put it off by saying, “Let’s think about it after getting rid of all the evil gods.”
‘It looks nice now.’
From noble mtl dot com.
It’s nice to see them having fun together.
“But why don’t you?”
Suddenly, I shrugged my shoulders when Levy moved his horse to pull out the golden key.
“Do you want to join me?”
Although Jenga lacks physical abilities, it is difficult to work with those monsters.
Blue Marble is different.
When I said it with a smirk, everyone said Ugh.
“huh! Let’s do it together!”
“Levi said we should do it together, of course, then.”
When I sit down with a smirk, the eyes of everyone except Levy are very challenging.
who can think so Blue Marble isn’t that a game of luck?
‘Of course luck plays a big part.’
However, it is said that even Blue Marble can use a strategy.
There are times when it is important to fill a line rather than eating the ground here and there, and there are moments when you have to eat here and there.
Rather than building cheap villas here and there, it is also a way to intensively invest in the board, where people want to be easily hit.
I’ve earned some money and I have plenty of land, but who wants to drive me into a few places with poisonous needle tactics and hope I get caught?
If you get stuck on a warp gate, or space travel in terms of Earth, it’s good to strategically go to an uninhabited island and wait for the others to self-destruct.
Of course, this is a more useful method when many of the 6th, 7th, and 8th lands, which are most common after escaping from an uninhabited island, are mine.
And it seems that other party members will step on my land sooner or later?
Then sell the land in a cheap place elsewhere and build a hotel with the building building card you ate with the golden key.
“… crying! Bankruptcy!”
I patted Levi’s weeping round head and pulled out a new candy bottle.
“Can’t you give me something like this next time?”
“huh!”
Look at the infinite trust in those eyes just because they gave you a new candy bottle.
I gave some candy back to Luna, Zero, Leaf, and Rachel, and put a green grape flavored one in my mouth when someone opened the cabin door and came in.
“Did you come soon?”
“I’m back.”
I brushed my hair off the rain and let out a lower saliva at Kane, who had returned earlier than expected.
If nothing happened, I was supposed to come back from the island after the storm ended, but the fact that I came now.
“How many of you came to scout?”
“one.”
Then it must have been the timing that the mermaids hadn’t properly grasped the situation yet.
As if he had done a good job, he patted the guy sitting next to him on the shoulder and opened his mouth.
“Then it would have bought me a couple of days.”
“Isn’t it the storm?”
Kane nodded and took an apple from the subspace in his hand and put it on top, then drank tea again.
“that’s right. Actually, it’s time to start.”
Rescuing someone is an original time fight. It shouldn’t have been caught like this.
However, the place to escape is the whirlpool terrain on the day the storm is scheduled. Going back, we have to go far back in the mermaid territory.
“Will it stop tomorrow?”
“Or maybe the day after tomorrow.”
The outside is filled with the sound of rain hitting the entire ship, along with the sound of the wind that sounds like a howling ghost.
Even during the day, it’s almost as dark as night, and even though I’m using a stone island other than the uninhabited island where Levi is located, as a windbreak, I feel like the boat is being pushed by the wind.
“I won’t come today, but.”
If it’s early, at this time tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest, you don’t know who else will come.
“It would be better to go out and fight so that the ship doesn’t break.”
At Kane’s words, I nodded once and turned Kruger’s ring.
“Worst case scenario, it might be better for us to get out with Levy.”
Levy is the purpose, so if we carry Levi and abandon the ship, we won’t bother chasing the ship. Even if they were chasing them, it wouldn’t be a large number.
Since they gave out quite a few magic stones, after leaving the vortex zone, if you burn the magic stones and focus only on speed, you will be temporarily faster than the mermaids in the sea.
‘The ship will be a little damaged, but.’
Survival comes first.
In the meantime, while Kane, Zero, and Rachel block the mermaids, it’s better for Luna and Leaf to carry Levi with me and drop them off on an island.
‘Because the only magic I can use is a light attack, and I can’t go into the sea.’
It would be useful to be with Levi if it was somewhere else, but it’s obvious that he’ll only be attracted to Aggro here.
“I want to get treatment right away.”
“I’m fine now.”
Watching Levy roll the dice excitedly, Kane responds indifferently to what he said.
You don’t know how precious this child is.
“Levi is still lacking in agility or accuracy.”
Did you say that you can’t concentrate well on a rocking boat?
In fact, both in the original game and in the game, wide-area heals and wide-area buffs were specialized rather than single heals or buffs.
I didn’t know that the reason was that the detailed control was not working well.
“Let’s start treatment when we get to the shore after leaving here.”
In addition, green juice should also be nourished. I laughed, and for a moment everything was quiet.
I peeked and saw that everyone except Levy was glancing at me, and I smiled even more refreshingly.
“Add green juice if it hurts.”
