The questions did not stop. Neil backed off, while Adele dealt with people. It really is her strong forte. She never over promised, or undeselled. By the end of it, almost all the people here are willing to join their fleet. Neil brought out the statue. The people present swore their oaths on the statue. Then, unanimously, they opened their consoles to check the now existing fleet tab. Few daring people even attacked each other with non-fatal skills. At the end of the day, they realized once they belong to a fleet together, one can not take fatal actions against any other fleet members. It seemed to be a great relief for many, while others seemed to hate it. They spent the day here. When the family members of the hostages return, most of them are willing to join the fleet. The few who did not, Neil did not force them. However, whether good or bad, all of them were given a fish steak and a two liters of freshwater for having joined the fleet. Surprisingly, in the ocean, th
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Half moon village
After the mangroves have grown, Neil dived down, and installed the current controller in channel zero on the bank facing half moon village. This time, the installation is done vertically. A protective cover of mollusk shells grows on the atoll peaks and mangroves as time passes. This way, the crabs, molluscs and small fish have a shelter on their migration. The local people would have a steady food source. Now that part is over, it’s time for announcement. Neil did not stand on ceremony with his fleet members. First, he wasn’t a great leader, at least not in a social activist kind of way. Second, these people come from all walks of life, and all sorts of ages. Their aims in life are different. If he tries to entice them at this stage, when they are just coming out of trauma, he’s more likely to fall on his face rather than succeed. “ I hereby announce, Half moon village is open for occupation. “ he announced loudly. “ Yay !!! “ the people cheered. Sure, they don’t have a roof
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Wheat farms
The wheat farms were made just on time. Neil and Adele called in the coven druids from yesterday. They handed them the wheat farms, along with the fish fry. It is a fairly advanced setup despite its shabby appearance. There’s a separated aquarium, lined with extremely fine and strong mesh fabric. One look is enough to know the fabric is made from a mix of tyrant rope fibers and oily seaweed fibers. Underneath these meshes, they were fitted with a pipe, which collected all the excrement from the water, then, piped it out into a water tank meant to water the plants. The water salinity is removed from the water using runic arrays inscribed on waterproof black wood. This is the lightning wood they collected in the dragon coop. Neil and Adele did not expect it to get used here. No matter what, salt crystals formed atop these woods, as the water moved. Then, rows upon rows of fiber lined troughs are filled with potting soil. Atop these troughs laid a semi woody looking plate cover
Treasure hunting in endless ocean A different morning
For the first time since Neil had entered the Endless ocean, he woke up before the morning arrived. The culprit ? It’s an inhuman, raucous and grating ‘CAW’ by god knows which bird. He was not alone in this plight. The birds arrived at the mangrove forest, flocking to them like moths to flame. There are birds as small as bees buzzing around in a manner more annoying than bees, then there are gigantic birds that could put albatross to shame. In the rapidly lightening up sky, an eagle screeched, startling half the flock. Then it dove down, scaring one of the chicken hearted girls into the water. The bird snapped into the mangrove branch, pulverizing a branch , with a thickness of about a baby’s arm. The mangrove branches are not your week as wood, Neil will have you know. They are wood surviving amidst rain and hail. The roots may be soft wood that could be pinched off, but mangrove wood ? … you could make a spear strong and sharp enough to spear sharks with that. A girl will
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Set off
The moment the wheat was harvested, the birds flew away. Only a few remained, hunting crabs and fishes across the sea. There are snow white egrets. There are the gigantic brown bustards. The peregrine eagle still circled overhead. All the rest vanished. Neil and Merlin had returned to the kitchen to have lunch. Today, they have french fries with chicken nuggets. Adele and Neil had whole hummers fried like wings with buffalo mayonnaise on ciabatta bread. The familiar taste of fried chicken sandwich almost brought him to tears. Now all they have to do is find cows so they could have milk as well. Now that they are taking a break, Neil watched the remaining birds. [ Snow white Egret ] [ provides camouflage in icy terrain. The fluff from the feather’s is used to fill pillows and quilts. It is also occasionally used to make wool. Egret wool is among the rare treasures of the endless continent. ] The information showed up . The egret is almost as cautious as the bustard. Aft
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Resource point
Given Neil’s identity as DMO’s employee, Sage’s hacking into the DMO system as researcher and Jack’s own foray into mafia’s systems, they have three maps to follow. Or may be four, if you included the non-smurf quest system that is available to every transferee. The researcher’s map displayed the nearby rare species, and any and all other rare plants and super secret confidential buildings built by DMO. The DMO employee system showed the nearby defects, alarms, and the general office buildings in use. The ocean denizen map showed nothing save for the illuminated zone around themselves. The mafia map showed the exchange points and at times it also gave out quests. Today happened to be the first time for such a quest. [ Quest ] [ at coordinates 343.9898900, 2.9009099 an space anomaly is happening. It is identified to be an resource fishing anomaly which connects to plant earth. As long as you have a space catcher, or a nonfunctional resource collection center in your hands, it is
Treasure hunting in endless ocean wishing well from earth
Instead of going straight towards the space anomaly, Neil first searched for all resource points and serviceable buildings by DMO. As expected, there was a resource point. However, the path to go there is perilous. He does not have the help from Adele to move over water easily, nor does he have the extreme mana shared by her. She did not do symbiosis, given she would be supporting her other two teammates in their fight. So, after a long time, Neil once again used his original power automatic rowing. Thankfully, the enhanced physical powers make it similar to driving, only, before he used to drive like a ferrari, now he drives at the speed of a horse carriage. The space anomaly’s span reached as far as the resource point. Originally, he had to pass through a swordfish area, then at the edge of a whirlpool, which is right between two dangerously sharp reefy cliffs. It was similar to the narrow crossing point in medieval Europe, where the rumored hydra and leviathan reside. The
Treasure hunting in endless ocean Start of an empire
The black hole in front of him wiggled like a loach thrown in salt water. This is the moment of truth. It could explode, or it could connect. He waited with bated breath. Before the wormhole could connect, a new message popped up in front of him. [ Symbiosis initiated from Adele Young ] The message rolled away. His console opened in front of him without him activating it, with only a single message in the center of the grayed out scene. The map, the usual options on console, all of them are just in the background. [ Reverse summon ? ] ( Yes ) ( no ) It’s like watching a thrilling movie, only to be cut off from the ending. His hand automatically went to no, but Neil paused. Hey.. whatever happens to the wormhole, this is his escape route. If the wormhole showed any signs of exploding, which it seemed like it was about to do, he would immediately press yes. With Adele’s always ready behavior, she has her hand ready to do the reverse summon any time. So, Neil paused and wat

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.

Barrier - Peace
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

Black flame
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

Love story - Date part 2
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. They have dodged death by a hair’s breadth a thousand times. They have overcome insurmountable odds. “ Oh ! Stop laughing, you idiot !

“ 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 ! Was I asleep for ten days ? “ Caspian asked in shock. “ How many days did you think it was ? “ Xena asked him angrily. “ Just .. Right after the woman in red left. 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. The whining fire spirits wanted her to submit to them. She ate them all ! I hid because I was a
