The elderly whale did not stop with giving the quest. It immediately started towing their raft towards the burial ground.
Neil and Adele just sat on the starboard, and enjoyed the joyride on a placid sea.
It’s a nice feeling, to be able to just sit and cruise a wee bit above sea water.
Adele was researching the drop of water it seems.
“Neil! This drop of water is blessed water! Do you want to use it?” Adele asked excitedly as she looked at the properties of the blessed water.
“But!.. It is the fruit of your labor.” Neil balked.
He indeed wanted to tak
follow my insta @miuhozuki. I post character profiles, dungeon pictures etc... on insta.
Rather than staying in water and suffering, Neil surfaced to catch his breath.His gills have not yet retracted, neither did his eyes.The detail with which he can see the night sky is amazing. More so, for he could only perceive magical and thermal bodies.Adele is a shining beacon of magic. No wonder Kraken camped underneath her with such persistence.Then, there were the bodies in the sky. Even without looking, he can tell, the magic beasts up there are far too big for him to even consider collecting their droppings.Coming to collecting! Why is he suffering like this when he has a system?<
The next day dawned bright, and this time around, they had a proper feast with bread and butter.Once it’s done, Adele opened her heart gem to check on the chat.[ CaptainHook: Looking for wooden boards. Can exchange 5 flounders for 5 boards. ][ wawa_wiggle: Buddy? Are you kidding? Any half witted idiot can catch a flounder with effort. ][ Lady Royale: Anyone have water? Please help me. ][ Pink princess: Hey… does anyone know what happened to jessica? ][ Martial King: She died. ][ Martial King: shark ate her. ]
Adele had settled into a gather and analyze mode once Neil left.The divine water cleansed the inventory slot on Neil’s inventory box. However, one inventory slot could fit a lot.Even better, Neil can breathe underwater, and the items are automatically sent over to another inventory slot when he collects another item.All Adele has to do is catch and move just the mana stones to her own inventory.After all, while the shop is built, and she could sell items in it, due to upgrades, it now needs four boxes.The basic shop needs one storage slot per item, and a subspace storage box linked to whatever magic they are doing in
Neil could not get a word out.After all, he knew he had been stupid.His uncle’s a fisherman, his mother’s a marine biologist, how in the world could he not know about the dangers of underwater?He is even well aware of every little danger, from Jellyfish bytes to underwater geysers.He just had been curious and greedy. There’s no way he can refute.Nope. he just had to play the puppy dog trick and pray to all the gods in the world it will work.He wilted like a flower in sunlight. His shoulders drooped, his chin touched his Adam's apple, his l
Adele and Neil both slept peacefully and deeply.Under normal circumstances, which usually represent the lacking sleeping space, lacking food and lacking water, they would have gotten up long ago and started working.Only, today they had enough to eat.There is a kitchen where they can toast their bread, albeit very ancient, all the same, it existed.There is a perfectly private toilet, even if it’s a little too eco conscious, it existed, and functioned well.Then, there’s a properly cool water, which has accumulated overnight in the copper barrel.Th
Neil looked at her in shock.“It does? Then why did no one make it?” he asked.“Because it requires whale mana stones to work, and it needs whale mana stones from all quadrants, that is eight mana stones, in eight different quadrants.” Adele answered.That’s twice the amount of distance, which, in the first place, they couldn’t cover in a single lifetime.On top of it, the denizens probably fought with whales to get their mana stones.After all, not everyone can talk with whales.Portals are great and all, but their immediate n
Neil only reached the bottom of the sinkhole after sinking through two hundred meters of the sea, a depth neither firecrabs, nor sharks can put up with easily.He walked around in the sinkhole bottom, just to keep his blood flowing. While the softbody transformation allows him to reach the only kraken could reach, he also retains some human buffs.Put simply, kraken is an olympic athlete in it’s capability, while softbody transformation is like an average human. I.e. The transformation’s limits are similar to the weakest kraken, not the most powerful.At the two hundred meter mark, there was a small hole in the floor. As he sank down through the hole, he broke into a giant cavern.
It has been a bit too much action these days. Even if they were thrill seeking teenagers, they still get tired of never ending trouble.They prayed for a simple journey on the sea tomorrow.They both silently bathed till their skin turned pink. They had lobster rolls for dinner, then, hit their beds. Life gives you big ass red crabs, you must make lobster rolls.Ideally, they sit together to open all the barrels in the night, as long as there was a single unopened barrel.Tomorrow is not too late to discuss.Once in the channel, they needn’t be awake to keep the boat in the correct position.
