2024-10-29 19:42:56The first thing Neil did after placing the collecting station was to make child stools.
They already have child seats for the dining table, but those are not good for opening barrels. Surprisingly, or not so surprisingly, both Merlin and Morgana could read to a certain extent.
Thus, Neil thought of teaching them to work. They need to be able to live on their own.
Disasters on the endless sea could never be predicted. If ever they get separated from the family, they need to have enough sense to live on their own, also, be able to find the path back to themselves.
Today, they are going to open barrels along with Neil.

“ Sage, are there any taboos against grave robbing in the endless sea ? “ Neil asked sage. [ There are no specific taboos. ] “ I hear a ‘but’ . “ Adele quipped. [ There are charnel pools in the endless sea. ] [ They take away memories of the dead from the heart gems. ] “ There is such a thing ? Where do we find one ? “ Adele asked. [ On the paradise island. ] [ You could leave the heart gems in the pool as sun sets. ] [ You can retrieve pure heart gems in the morning. ] “ Thank you, Sage. “ Neil told the system. He had always felt a little uncomfortable with these heartgems, despite knowing they could be added on to his own to acquire both skills and knowledge. It felt too much like desecrating the dead. If there is a way to bring peace to them and achieve his goals, he would like to do that. [ You are welcome. ] What sage did not say is that ‘ I am proud of both of you for your thoughtfulness. ‘ After all, there is no way for them to know systems are nothing but the st
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Radio
“ This plastic is light and waterproof ? That's all of its features? “ Neil asked. [ It’s most enduring against sea water from salinity 0.1 to 20.0. ] Sage added. That is indeed a plus. Had the light gel planks not been enduring against the high salinity, they would have drowned in the black sea. By this time, even their flesh and bones would have been dissolved. “ What about its strength to hold shape ? “ Neil asked. Neil seemed very knowledgeable about how to choose. Soon, their raft design was finalized. Instead of making a single type of raft, a different type of raft is made for each function. The rafts are uniformly shaped like rounded arrow heads. Like the overlapping part of three circles overlapping each other. For now, they will demolish the raft they are resting on, as well as the one besides them. In time, the raft they are using as their main residence would have to be demolished and upgraded as well. They let empty rafts be demolished all the way through. Neil
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Radio Tower
The Radio tower itself had been in manufacturing since yesterday evening. Thus, by now, all parts are ready. All Neil and Adele had to do was go up and install the radio tower. “ Thank you , my good men. We will use these blueprints wisely. “ Adele told the men. “ Tomorrow, they could guide us to the location. We will hunt the sharks for them. “ Neil added. Adele dutifully translated the words for them, which made the mermen feel more good will towards Neil. “ Have you seen a little girl, about this size ? “ Adele asked them as they were about to leave. [ a.. Are you related to goddess Ariel ? ] [ Does she truly live on land ? ] The mermen asked curiously. “ Indeed , she does. Please send her back as quickly as possible. “ Adele said, looking at the men. The men nodded reverently, after knowing Mona is related to them, then swam away from their raft. They left all the blueprints other than the radio blueprints too. Perhaps the blue prints are of no use to them because they
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Shark Pool
[ This area is rich in treasures ] Jack piped in as soon as they reached the shark pool. [ well, at least low level resources. ] He added after some time. However, right now, Neil is extremely in need of low level resources. Once they cross this ambiguous halocline, it’s the shark pool. As DragonFly drifted over the halocline, a message popped up in front of them. Quest The forsaken ‘kelp forest ‘ Mermen clan is troubled over infestation of the sharks. If this infestation persists, they would not be able to harvest their signature red kelp. Much less harvest, they stand at the risk of losing the seeds of this delicious kelp which is called king of seaweed. Help the mermen by removing this infestation of toothy pests. Target : 5000 sharks to Annihilation of all sharks in the area. Reward: Strength fruit 1 to strength fruit 5 depending on the performance.

Treasure hunting in endless ocean Buzzsaw Shark
Neil and Merlin boarded their sail rafts with companions. The pool is once again full with barracudas. They went through the shark pool just like before, rounding up a full catch. Neil summoned the catch raft once again. They went through the shark pool once again. The catch was collected, this time, as soon as the fishes were pulled up, despite them not being dead. [ Work substation of sector 3 offers to process the live catch for you. ] [ Allow substation of sector 3 to process any live catch ? ] ( Yes ) ( no ) Neil chose yes. Substations can send out requests like this ? For the first time, Neil wondered how the research and substations work. He had always thought of it like a semi game, so he did not think much about it at all. However, he wondered .. if there were real people or beings behind these research and workstations. Nevermind. Even if there are real people behind those stations, this is not the time to ponder about them. He needs to catch sharks.
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Under Water Ruins
Neither Adele, nor Neil expected that the shark could be so dexterous that it could change its tongue’s position mid air. This time, instead of lashing, the tongue wrapped around Nei’s ankle. Adele started running from the boat, she ran straight towards Neil, unaware of the sharks swimming around her. Sage had taken full control of deploying her abilities. The moment the shark wrapped its tongue around Neil’s leg, it dived deep. The sharks around him came to bite Neil from this side and that side, but none of them could reach him, despite being just feet away from him. That is the speed of the buzzsaw shark when diving down. It’s a straight super fast elevator into the deep of the sea. Adele dived right after Neil, her technique entirely different from Neil. She formed a water bubble, replacing the water underneath to above. Merlin jumped into the bubble with Adele before she could close it. Adele paid him no heed. She remembered what she read of Merlin’s skills

She could not let her own kingdom face the same fate. before that happened, she must raise that Ice Wall, so much so, not even a dragon could not cross it. If it were a peaceful time, Sasha would have thought about hiding her power. Right now, it is more important for people to be in awe of her than for them to underestimate her. Every opponent she scared away from fighting with her is one more opponent she need not fight. Dan may be oblivious to politics, Sasha was not. Dan’s previous decision of allowing Snorcs into the Barrier has been very controversial. Most of the winterland men have lost one or other family member to Snorcs.

Reborn Drows
While Adele and Neil were discussing these details, Orion and his subjects were busy as bees. The flame crystals brought back by Neil had been handed over to the Drow king. At the time, the most vibrant flame crystal was placed in a cradle, in the center of an altar. Five Drows surrounded the altar, looking at the circle pointedly. Orion stood in the head position, the five Drows started chanting. After a time, the Drows stopped chanting and looked at the center, where a flame crystal was placed. Their eyes are full of expectation. Nothing happened. The light of hope in their eyes dimmed at the result. Their gazes turned to Orion, as if asking if they should continue. “ Continue. “ Orion ordered. The king looked on emotionlessly, despite the turmoil going on inside his head. Orion’s newly acquired ‘King’ title is not steady yet. Most of the old leaders did not agree to support Neil, but Orion just pushed it through, by the virtue of providing food and a safe place for Drows.

Sasha woke up quite late. she was lying on the furs in front of fireplace, like a kitten. She hadn't slept this well for a long while. It’s almost like a dream. Perhaps it was, given Adele was standing in the corner, staring straight at Sasha. Sasha wondered why she was able to sleep this well in the middle of a battle field. The answer was surprisingly simple. Because she was surrounded by family, and friends. Valerie fought with her life on line to protect Sasha, despite being a Snorc. Dan … he smelt like home. There are no other words for it. He was her only family, until Rudy arrived here, and probably would be her only light, when the world becomes cold and dark. Dan and Valerie's predictions about Snorc peace treaty being a ruse came true. Even so, the Snorc attack came far too fast. So much so, the defense could not even gather compleetely. Dan’s arm is still holding hers as woke. He held her hand on one side, and the hilt of the sword on the other side. W

The smallest crack
Neil’s heart filled with unspeakable dread when he looked at the invisible shield membrane slowly covering up the temple. Every cell of his body rejected that shield with all of its being. Neil acted involuntarily. “ Retreat ! “ he screamed at the top of his lungs. His desire to take every last one of the elves with him powered his next spell. ‘ Collect ‘ Neil commanded with all of his being. His magic exploded, pulling all the nearby flame crystals, every last one of the flames whooshed out, becoming a red crystal as they rushed towards Neil. Neil, with Merlin on his back, rushed as fast as he could towards the portal that’s becoming unclear by the second. The space has become destabilized, and the time space continuum broke as the shield continued to cover the flame temple. The black flame in front of the priest is still burning, the remaining four Tomoe of the flames are still alit, but all the other flames are gone. It’s only then Neil understood the scale of

Neil retrieved his spear, changed it into a chinese slaughterer broadsword, with about three foot pole and one and half foot blade. He twirled the blade slightly, the necks of three priests were cut off. [ Experience + 5 ] [ Experience + 5 ] [ Experience + 5 ] At the same time, Merlin was not silent. He stabbed a priest, then twirled and beheaded another. [ Experience + 10 ] The message popped up. Like that, Neil and Merlin danced in the courtyard. After their decimation of fifty priests, the priests ran away, and grouped together among them. They went for the necklaces of the fire priests, coalescing the necklaces with their own. “ Merlin ! Collect the red necklaces. “ Neil commanded. The next moment, the mana blade in Merlin’s hands vanished. He stuck to Neil’s back, while Neil cut off the head, Merlin collected the necklace. They worked tirelessly, decimating the priests. However, there was no end to them. “ Blluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooo

Event Dungeon begins
While setting up camp meat just retrieving their modular home for Neil and Adele, it meant something far more complex for Drows. All the space mancers came together with their latest catch of space crystals. Then, they set up a hexagonal space barrier around a gigantic field, isolating the space from the time worm. Cosmos gave an unnecessarily long explanation, which could be summarized into ‘ this way, we don’t get sucked into the time worm’s belly accidentally ‘. The memories are cut off when Caspian and Xena enter the temple - however, at this point, Neil has come to a conclusion about one thing. They never entered the time worm’s inside. They only fought in an ephemeral space that reflected the fire temple, they did not go inside the fire temple exactly. However, the things he had in his hands are real. In Particular, land tokens have come up with real land. That means only one thing. That the real land tokens are still out there for him to grab. On top of that, he has s

Xena did not explain her intention. Obviously Caspian spent the entirety of the next hour in confused anticipation, while everyone around him laughed at him knowingly. Xena finished her selection of fabrics. She ordered another set for Caspian himself, this time, in yellow and black, with a symbol of a bull. The next announcement came after an hour. All the participants of the spring fair contest are called to a venue. There are multitudes of fabrics, clay, metal pieces, even silver, gold and gems on various tables. On the other side, there are various tools, for making pottery, for making jewelry and various other items. “ Valkyrie had long been known as the city of the craftsmen.

As long as answers sync, the couple passes. “ What’s your man’s name ? “ they asked. “ Caspian Hart “ Xena answered, so did Caspian. What’s your girl’s name ? “ was the next question. They obviously are doing this to filter off the random game breakers from entering the game. “ Xena winter child “ Both of them answered at the same time. “ Where did

“ Hey! Stop laughing at me, you moron. “ Xena ordered Caspian bossily. “ I am not laughing at you. I am just happy we both lived till today. “ Caspian said, chortling with laughter. The words brought a hard stop to the amusement of Nadia and Tara, while Xena shared his happiness. “ Indeed ! We still have today.” Xena said, sitting down at the edge of Caspian’s bed. To be truthful, it is quite amazing. They were thrown out of the capital city in a time of strife, walked through five battles, and countless skirmishes. They crossed the sea ! Then they went to institutions which require one to be beholden to them until death, yet, they both are sitting here, free!It is nothing short of a miracle.

“ Caspian Hart ! You moron ! You stupid imbecilic idiotic jarhead ! “ Xena exclaimed, as she threw her hands on his neck. “ Hey! What’s with the over reaction ! I did not die ! “ Caspian mumbled, a hand rubbing soothingly on Xena’s back. Xena stopped crying after some time. Caspian held her lightly, enjoying the rare instances where Xena actually shows some emotion. “ What day is it ? “ he asked, after Xena pulled back from him. “ You still have the gall to ask for the day ! It's the thirtieth day after the valhallan new year. “ Xena told him. “ it’s .. My god !

She was so scary. “ Caspian exclaimed. “ Woman in red ? Madea ? “ Xena asked, an ominous feeling rising in her heart. Caspian shook his head. “ The other one.
